Saturday, February 19, 2011 – Daily News – 5A Agriculture & farm Ag Forum to provide training The Job Training Center, Tehama County Farm Bureau and the Tehama County Air Resources Board are hosting an Ag Forum March 1 that will include presentations by each of the host organizations as well as a two-hour workshop on Truck and Bus Agricultural Vehicle Provisions Compliance and Reporting by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The training will be 8:30 a.m. to noon, Tuesday, March 1, at Carlino’s Events Center, Rolling Hills Casino in Corn- ing. Cost is $15 per person. Recent amendments have significantly modified several requirements of the California Air Resources Board Truck and Bus Regulation. Adopted in 2008, the regulation requires diesel powered on-road equipment to meet the 2010 model year engine standard through a combination of diesel particulate filter installation and/or vehicle replace- ments between 2012 and 2023. “This session is needed right now. Those of us who have off road diesel equipment or on road trucks, don’t know what the requirement from the State of California are – they keep changing,” said Ryan Sale. “We have to make invest- ment decisions based on how best to meet the require- ments.” The Truck and Bus Rule includes a provision that allows many agricultural fleets to delay clean-up requirements until 2017 or 2023, depending on qualifying use and miles driven. Fleets utilizing the agricultural provision would need to report their vehicles by March 31 and then annual- ly by Jan. 31. California Air Resources Board staff will give an overview of changes to the compliance options, explain what vehicles qualify for the agricultural vehicle extension, and provide a status update of 2010 reporting, how to update previously submitted data and how to submit your report. Seating is limited. A full breakfast will be provided. If cost is a concern, please notify the Job Training Center. To register contact Amanda Wigno at awigno@ncen.org or call 529-7000. Preregistration is required. When Shasta College stopped offering various physical education courses in Red Bluff I missed the exercise class I had enjoyed with Avery Vilche two times a week. Always planned to go to a gym and do something, but like New Year’s resolutions, it didn’t happen. The other day I saw Senior Exercise at the Red Bluff Community Center listed in the Daily News’ coming events. A couple of our neighbor ladies and I checked it out, and it was what we were looking for. Linda Hayes is instructor and it is geared for our age group; not too strenuous but you feel good when the hour is up. More seniors are invited to join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 a.m. The suggested donation is $1. *** There was a roomful of enthusiastic men and women when John Growney and Linda Durrer made suggestions for the “11 Days of Round Up.” Our next meeting will be 10 a.m. March 1 at the Riverside Bar and Grill. I remember when there used to be a caravan of cars that visited the neighboring towns to promote the Round-Up. There were a cou- ple bull fighters or clowns who made Red Bluff their home and they accompa- nied the group. ranch Shape up for Round-Up Tiffany Holbrook is general chairman of the Trail Ride, and she is assisted by CattleWomen members working on the details including Paula Holden, Karen Maloney, Cathy Tobin, Charlene Priest, Jean Barton, Joyce Bundy, Jeanne Smith, Danielle Zane, and Tracy Bjornstad, P.O.

The carnival came to CCApresident visits White House California Cattlemen’s Association President Kevin Kester, a rancher from Parkfield, was in the nation’s capital recently to represent California beef producers at a White House event focused on lasting conservation of the outdoor spaces that power our nation’s economy, shape our culture and build our outdoor traditions. The event was centered around the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative, which was established by Presi- dent Obama on April 16, when he charged the secre- taries of the departments of the Interior and Agriculture, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality to develop a 21st century conservation and recreation strategy based on the priori- ties of American communi- ties. CCA has been involved with the initiative’s evolu- tion from the beginning to ensure that the perspective of landowners remains paramount in the discus- sion. CCA officers and staff attended meetings through- out the state last year to share comments and con- cerns about the initiative and represent ranchers and their outstanding steward- ship of our national resources and open spaces. According to the Obama Administration, this initia- tive seeks to reinvigorate our approach to conserva- tion and reconnect Ameri- cans, especially young peo- ple, with the lands and waters that are used for farming and ranching, hunt- ing and fishing, and for fam- ilies to spend quality time together. According to Kester, the initiative provides opportu- nities for private landowners to share their perspective to help Americans interested in the outdoors realize the importance of ranching and private property ownership to land management in our state and across the country.

A street dance was held during that time, but my sister and I were not allowed to attend since our parents thought it was rowdy. There was suggestion of a stick horse parade to fol- low the horse parade on Sat- urday, April 9, a movie at the State Theatre and the Rotary Round-Up Chili Cookoff will be on Wash- ington Street. Perhaps a street dance in the evening. I hope people will send me their Round Up memo- ries, as they did for the Blue Ribbon Café. One more note I received from Darwin Isensee when we described the businesses on the 600 block of Red Bluff in the ‘40s and ‘50s. “It was right on the money except for not men- tioning my dad’s store, ‘The Sports Shop,’ which was located between Metherd’s Saddlery and the Red Bluff Creamery. Unfortunately it was destroyed by fire in the late spring of 1955 when I was 15 years old and never rebuilt. “I grew up doing odd jobs around the store such as stacking merchandise, sweeping the sidewalk (which is still the same side- walk) and sweeping LIC #808524 Call For Free Information Toll-Free (800) 464-1403 or (530) 365-1403 Limited time offer expires Feb. 28, 2011.

Red Bluff Corner of Antelope & Gilmore COUPON Barton “The store was some- what of a showpiece for outdoorsmen with stuffed heads of deer, elk, moose, etc. lining the walls. It was a destina- tion shop for people coming to the Red Bluff area to hunt and fish. I am sure there are still sporting closets in Red Bluff full of guns and fish- ing rods pur- chased from The Sports Shop in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s.” Many thanks to Darwin Isensee of Lake Oswego, Ore. for sharing his memories of old Main Street. The PRCA will have a free roughstock camp for all abilities, ages 10 and up, at the Growney Ranch in Red Bluff, April 2 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be only two held in California this year, and we are lucky they chose Red Bluff. They call it a camp for beginners and advanced rid- ers, with an introduction to roughstock events with an emphasis on safety and fun- damentals, chute proce- dures, livestock safety. There will be an overview of riding equipment, injury prevention and manage- ment, plus goal setting and advice from pros. There are limited spots available, and it is suggested to register now.

Anxious parents will be happy because there will be no live buckouts at this roughstock camp. *** Another exciting event this spring will be the first annual Trail Ride, hosted by Tehama County Cattle- Women, and reservations are required before May 13. The date will be Satur- day May 21, and the ride with lunch is $40. It will be held at Dye Creek Preserve, 11010 Foothill Blvd., Los Molinos.

This year when we had our branding I took the easy way out and our crew ate lunch at Two Buds Barbe- cue, at the Y between Hwy 36East and 99East. They made delicious tri tip sandwiches and beans, with salads for those who wanted a lighter lunch.
