WORK Continued from page 1A after high school from someone other than their teachers or parents,” McDonald said. Career day is an expan- sion on what students are first exposed to during other events in the county, such as the Education Day, she said. Deb Taylor, who works for Bell Carter Olives in Corning, is one of the founding members of the education foundation. She said Career Day has been happening for at least 15 years. “We need to catch the kids early,” Taylor said. “We need to expose them to what is available in the county.” Taylor said many chil- dren will come back to the county and this way they know what is available and what education is necessary to do the jobs found here. Rotarians were on hand as building hosts with about three in each building, said Rotarian Bob Douglas. “When you pack almost 800 eighth-graders in one place you have more ener- gy than anywhere else known to man,” Douglas said. Rotarian Everett McDo- nough said he enjoys the contrast between the sixth- graders the group worked with a few weeks ago for Education Day and the eighth-graders at career day. “It’s very rewarding to watch the enthusiasm when they come in and the true energy (while interviewing presenters),” said Rotarian Charlene Reid. Rotarian Will Murphy said he enjoys watching the students light up as they get to ask presenters questions. “I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for these guys to check out fields they might be interested in that they might not otherwise Muir JoAnn Muir, wife of Hugh Muir, Mineral, died Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010, in Redding.

The City Council is facing a decision on whether to pass a permanent ban on medical marijuana collectives and dispensaries. A temporary ban that was enacted in 2009 will expire in mid- December. The city has not adopted any ordinances regarding cultivation. Meanwhile, the county has a tempo- rary ban that will expire in 2011 and must address the possibility of a perma- nent ban then. Had the measure passed, it would have required some minor modification to the ordinance in regards to cultivation, County Administrator Bill Goodwin said. But since it did not pass, the county will not have to make the modifications. Proponents have already vowed to bring a similar initiative back in 2012. If a similar measure comes back, Nan- fito is hopeful it will be rejected again, but he realizes this defeat was not a land- slide either. The proposition failed by a margin of 54 percent to 46 percent. Richard Lee, the Oakland medical marijuana entrepreneur who sponsored Proposition 19 and spent $1.4 million of his own money to qualify the measure for the ballot and try to get it passed, drew hope in the generational divide among the voters. The only unequivocal support for the measure came from voters younger than 30, though even they were not as united WEAK Continued from page 1A competitive races were still too close to call Thursday, including the race for state attorney general and two congressional contests. Numerous counties said they were planning to work through the weekend to sort through outstanding absen- tee ballots that numbered above 100,000 in some places. ‘‘We’ll keep forging ahead and get through it. None of us are taking any time off right now,’’ said Gail Pellerin, Santa Cruz County clerk and head of the statewide clerks association. Pellerin said she did not yet know what percentage of Santa Cruz County voters cast mail-in ballots, but that Doug Falke of Kremer Chiropractic talked with students about the impor- tance of taking care of one’s spine, which, if main- tained properly, can keep the body healthier, he said.

Split into five groups and rotated every 20 min- utes, students were to ask the nearly 70 presenters questions about what their typical day was like at work, the training neces- sary to do the job and where they went to get the training. Students asked what presenters liked best and least about their occupa- tions and what other careers were related to theirs in each of five groups — agriculture and natural resources; arts, communi- cation and hospitality; busi- ness and marketing; health, home and recreation; and social, human and govern- ment services. Lauren Tingley of Col- lege Options talked about her program, which pro- vides free programs and services that strengthen the college-bound culture of Tehama County by helping students make informed decisions about post-high school educational oppor- tunities, she said. Services include acade- mic advising, college appli- cation support, field trips, financial aid advising and FAFSA application assis- tance, online college plan- ning and test preparation resources. In the booth next to Tin- gley, Kathy Garcia with the Expect More Tehama cam- paign, gave students tips. Getting ready for high school includes developing strong study habits, think- ing about which classes would best prepare students for high school, getting involved in extra-curricular activities and volunteering. Asked by students what he liked best and least about his job, Red Bluff Police Officer Mike Coley said he likes helping people best and taking people down the least. For Tehama County Animal Care Center Man- ager Mark Storrey it was saving animals that he liked best and dealing with irre- sponsible pet owners he liked least, he said. “I think it’s awesome because it gives kids a chance to see what they want to be,” said Maywood Middle School student Andrew Jackson. “It’s fun because you get to learn about a bunch of things.” Jackson said he liked the presentations by Simpson University and the Tehama County Sheriff’s Depart- ment the best. Bend School student Maryn Spangler said she enjoyed the Tehama Coun- ty Sheriff Department’s Coroner presentation on forensic pathology. “Once you get past the gross dead stuff it’s inter- esting to look at the behind the scenes stuff to figure out how someone died,” Spangler said. Spangler also enjoyed the culinary arts presenta- tion by Shasta College, she said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. in their support as voters 65 and older were in their opposition. Lee noted that since younger voters supported the initiative, a generation that does not fear the drug would one day constitute a majority of the population. “The issue is generational,” Lee said. ‘‘Many of the biggest contributors to the campaign were younger and based in Sil- icon Valley, representing a changing of the guard of political influence and lead- ership.” In Tehama County, the proposition was rejected by a 63 to 37 percent. As of Wednesday afternoon, there were still about 7,000 absentee ballots to be count- ed. The proposition failed because trying to legalize marijuana through a ballot measure is not the right approach to take, Tehama County Sheriff Clay Parker said. The only proper way to legalize mari- juana would be through the federal gov- ernment, Parker said. The Federal Drug Administration would have to declare marijuana a Schedule II drug, which would require users to see a real doctor and obtain a real medical prescription. As for a second go-around, Parker said voters won’t go for it. “It failed once, and it’s going to fail again,” Parker said. “This (a ballot mea- sure) is not the route to take.” ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. The Associated Press contributed to this story. it almost certainly would end up being higher than the percentage who voted in person. That prediction was echoed by county registrars throughout the state. ‘‘The lower the turnout, the higher the percent of vote-by-mail,’’ said Steve Weir, Contra Costa County registrar. Weir estimated his coun- ty’s overall turnout would be about 62 percent, and that 58 percent of those who voted did so by mail. That includ- ed 25,000 voters who waited until Election Day to deliver their ballots, he said. The California Associa- tion of Clerks and Election Officials hoped to post initial estimates of the state’s total vote-by-mail turnout by the end of the week, Pellerin said.

Final turnout numbers will be reported when the office certifies the election results, which must take place by Dec. 10, she said.

GOP dumps leader after loss SACRAMENTO (AP) — Republicans in the state Assembly have chosen a Bakersfield lawmaker to lead them next year after losing a seat in this week’s election. The minority caucus selected Assemblywoman Connie Conway on Thursday. She is the first woman to serve as Assembly Republican leader since 1981. The 50-year-old replaces Assemblyman Martin Garrick of Carlsbad, who led his caucus for less than a year. Repub- licans will hold 28 of the 80 Assembly seats when new members are sworn in next month. Conway says Republicans will be ‘‘unwavering’’ against higher taxes and additional government spending.
