The top five events, which will most likely include the Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale and Red Bluff Round-Up Rodeo, will be chosen by the magazine, Gowan said. “It’s pretty prestigious recognition to be recog- nized by the American Cowboy,” said Round-Up Director Corky Kramer. “A lot of people in Tehama County are proud of their Western heritage and the Round-Up is cer- tainly proud to be a part of that and to be included in this magazine.” The timing of the arti- cle is perfect considering it comes out just before the Round-Up, Kramer said.

LAWSUIT Continued from page 1A violated and she had been inflicted with emotional dis- tress. The city and Does, as in John Doe, 1 through 50 are listed as defendants in the case. At this point the only real defendant in the case is the city, Van Warmerdam’s attorney Mark Vegh said. He made the decision to not specifically name other defen- dants at this time because of the different causes of complaints involved. Ten complaints are alleged including perceived dis- ability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodation, failure to engage in the interactive process, wrongful termination, retaliation, invasion of privacy, defamation of character and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. As a proximate result of being subjected to the dis- criminatory conduct of the city, Van Warmerdam has sustained and continues to sustain substantial losses in earnings and other benefits and suffer emotional dis- tress, according to the suit. She continues to incur attor- neys’ fees and costs, which she should be entitled to recover. While no specific amount in damages or legal fees are listed, Vegh said he expects the amount to be deter- mined later. The suit demands a jury trial instead of a trial by judge. “We feel we have a good case,” Vegh said in regards to making the decision to include the demand in the ini- tial filing instead of waiting until after having a trial management conference. Van Warmerdam was put on paid administrative leave Sept., 8, 2010 and terminated shortly thereafter. The City Council will meet in closed session prior to its regular meeting Tuesday to discuss the matter, City Manager Martin Nichols said. “We are part of a joint power authority, and the mat- ter will be referred to them,” Nichols said. “We believe the action that we took was justified and we will prevail in the lawsuit.” The termination followed a dispute between Van Warmerdam and Nichols over when Nichols was noti- fied of a much larger budget shortfall than was report- ed to the council. Nichols has said the action was not related to the dis- pute. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext.110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com. CARE TO COMMENT?
