City to revisit tabled items By RICH GREENE DN Staff Writer Back to a full five members on the dais, the Red Bluff City Council is scheduled to again address a series of decisions on which members were deadlocked or were tabled in recent weeks. The agenda for Tuesday's 7 p.m. meeting at 555 Washington St. includes decisions regarding the combining of the Building and Planning departments, the lease of three police vehicles and a new hire for the Wastewater Collections Maintenance Division. The latter items were made as last-minute requests by city department heads June 18, the night the City Council approved the 2013-14 fiscal year budget. The council, down to four members at the time following the resignation of Robert Sheppard, Jr., passed the Budget Committee's recommended budget, but told the department heads to bring back their proposals for further spending once a fifth member was seated. At its last meeting the City Council appointed Raymond Eliggi to the vacated seat. The night the budget passed also saw the council split 2-2 on a plan to combine the Building and Planning departments into a single Community DevelopSee CITY, page 7A Daily News photo by Andre Byik The Ide Adobe Players performed pioneer tunes at the 34th annual Adobe Day at William B. Ide Adobe State Historical Park on Saturday. By ANDRE BYIK DN Staff Writer Organizers of the 34th annual Adobe Day at William B. Ide Adobe State Historic Park on Saturday took about 300 park-goers back in time. The annual celebration, which highlights the state park and aids it as well, brought out about 70 volunteers who played the part of pioneers during the 1850s. Blacksmiths pounded, woodworkers carved and players strummed in what was an interactive history lesson of sorts. "One of the big things to me is that we get people bringing their grandkids back," said Judy Fessenden, president of the Ide Adobe Interpretive Association. "We hear people saying, 'I made candles when I was in fourth grade here.' So, we feel like it's a tradition that's local and getting passed down for more than one or two generations." As people left the 21st century parking lot and entered the 19th, they could step up to a bank and trade their no-good modern currency for eagles. The General Store or games of chance awaited. Debbie Chakarun, a state park interpreter, said the she wanted visitors to have a fun family experience. "Just a step back in time to a more peaceful, quiet way of the way we do things," she said. "We really do learn from the past … We could do a lot without a lot." The hands-on approach at the Adobe Day celebration is what people remember years later, Fessenden said, adding that a park program that couples fourth graders with high school students also creates a connection to the park that lives on. "There are other state parks in California that have a historical theme and offer programs, but some of them are more like tours," she said. As children and adults alike took in the afternoon's attractions, organizers said attendance was lower than in past years. A few years ago the Adobe Day drew about 800 visitors. Even so, Fessenden said, the lower turnout is still respectable compared to events held at other state parks. Fessenden said any proceeds go into the association's fund, most of which goes into a contingency fund with the state "that has actually kept this park open." She added that after receiving three grants from the California State Parks Foundation — a nonprofit group that supports state parks — and having funds raised matched by the state, operations can continue for about a year. "We believe that we're good through next June, which is the end of this fiscal year," Fessenden said. "And we don't know after that what happens." Ide Adobe was scheduled to be closed in 2012, but after reaching an agreement with the state and See TIME, page 7A High school seeks salad bar Red Bluff Union High School is working hard to make lots of positive changes for the students and staff, including class changes, administration changes and even changes to the school lunch program. This year Café Sparta is moving towards more scratch cooking as well as implementing a lunch time salad bar. The staff wants to give students every opportunity to have a healthy meal while offering things they want to eat. This year there will not only be salad bars but potato bars, tostada bars and many more exciting options. A USDA Food and Nutrition Service report found that most schoolaged children did not eat the recommended number of daily servings for fruits and vegetables. Simply incorporating salad bars as part of school lunch has shown to increase fruit and vegetable consumption an average of 1.2 servings per student per day, according to research conducted by a team headed by Dr. Wendy Slusser, MD, MS at UCLA. Only 21 percent of the nation's schools offer a salad bar at least once a week. In order to provide a more up to date salad bar, the school has joined forces with Let's Move Salad Bars to School, a comprehensive grassroots public health effort to mobilize and engage stakeholders at the local, state and national level to support salad bars in schools.
