Rigoberto Sanchez Martinez, 32, sped up to 75 mph when an officer tried to pull him over around 4:30 p.m. at the corner of Highway 99W and Viola Avenue, according to a press release issued by Officer Jeremiah Fears. Fears reportedly followed the vehicle to Woodson Avenue, where Martinez fled into an orchard. Fears, accompanied by a K-9 police dog, was joined by a Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol officer with a second K-9. Together they searched the orchard and the CHP officer found Martinez and took him into custody. When Fears and his K-9 searched Martinez’s vehicle they turned up 112 pounds of processed marijuana in the trunk, according to the release. Martinez was treated for unspecified injuries and booked into the Tehama County Jail on suspicion of evading a peace officer by way of reckless driving, resisting arrest, transporting more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and driving without a license. Bail was set at $63,000. —Staff report County to revisit new impact fees By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer A controversial plan to charge new construction projects to pay for air quality improvements is scheduled to reappear before the Tehama Coun- ty Board of Supervisors Tuesday. Air Quality Mitigation Fees, as proposed by Air Pollution Control Officer Alan Abbs, were shot down by the Board of Supervisors until the board could consider them at the same time as Development Impact Fees —a separate proposal with separate goals, but Remembering 9/11 also would charge devel- opers. The board’s agenda for Tuesday calls for Abbs to explain a revised version of his proposal. A phone call to Abbs was not returned Friday afternoon. The initial plan was meant to address state and federal laws requiring the county to fight its ozone and particulate matter lev- els, both of which can harm the lungs of resi- dents and helped push the county to the second- highest level of deaths attributed to lower-respi- ratory disease in Califor- See FEES, page 7A for Daily News photo by Geoff Johnson Daily News photo by Geoff Johnson Red Bluff resident David Rottenberg recounts his own experience with the World Trade Center, before and after 9/11. Rottenberg’s son and daughter are both captains in the Army. By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer Dozens gathered Sat- urday for a brief 9/11 cer- emony at the Tehama County Courthouse. Speaker and Red Bluff resident David Rotten- berg, whose son and daughter are both captains in the Army, recalled vis- iting the twin towers for the first time. He described it as kind of a “touristy thing.” It was three weeks before 9/11. He would visit the World Trade Center again, five weeks after the attack. Loose papers, dirt and dust lingered from the blast. In neighboring buildings damaged in the crash, Rottenberg said he could still see clocks tick- ing. Rottenberg’s son 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 always wanted to join the military. By the time he left the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, the country was at war. His daughter was a differ- ent story. “She was not like her older brother,” Rottenberg said. “I think the 9/11 experience made her look at the world as a different place, made her realize there’s something bigger than us.” Like several attending the event, Rottenberg decried what he saw as the loss of unity that fol- lowed in the months after the attack. “I think we’re naturally forgetful, and it’s easy to forget the sacrifices peo- ple have made,” he said.

By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer TEHAMA — Live music, dancing, Corvette rides — none of these things sound like they belong in a museum. But a few steps out the door is another matter. The city of Tehama hosted the 29th Annual Tehama County Jubilee Saturday at the county museum and Habert Park across the street. Live acts included the Mexican dancers of Las Koritas, the Red Bluff Community Band and the Jammers. Stopping in between dances, Corning resident Dot Linnet praised the Jammers. “They let you sing along even if you’re off key, even if you can’t carry a tune,” she said.
