PuBliC safety Red Bluff police nab 8 suspected of DUI By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter Red Bluff » Quentin Ray Bealer's attorney announced in Tehama Su- perior Court Tuesday that he was withdrawing his change of venue motion in order to file a new one for his defendant, who is accused of murdering 14-year-old Marysa Nichols. Visiting Judge S. William Abel granted the request and set May 12 as the day to hold a setting for the future motion. Attorney Shon Northam said he had been "overly optimistic" when he asked for March 3 for his change of venue motion to be heard. Northam said he had been work - ing with Dr. Edward Bronson on the change of venue process, but that Bronson's time commitment to Bealer's case became a concern as he was also working on a simi - lar motion in the Boston Marathon bombing case. He was then recom- mended to use the services of Dr. Bryan Edelman who, despite work- ing on a change of venue motion in the Aurora, Colo. theater shoot- ings, had more time. Northam said he expected by May 12 he would have a better time line of when the second phase of the change of venue process would be completed, which he expected could take until at least July. Tehama County District Attor - ney Gregg Cohen said he had no ob- jection to the defense withdrawing its own motion. Outside of the court room Northam told reporters Phase 1 of the change of venue process, the culling of news materials regard - ing the case, had already been com- pleted.

The theater is scheduled to host a lighting ceremony by the end of May. By andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter Red Bluff » The State Theatre for the Arts here will soon shine anew as work on the theater's blade and marquee nears its curtain call. Workers were seen Tuesday working on the theater, which hired Sacramento-based resto - ration company Fernando Du- arte Design to bring the recog- nizable S-T-A-T-E theater blade back to life, and to update the theater's marquee to its origi- nal look. The work, which earlier was said to cost about $75,000, is expected to be done in early May, said Joe Vine, president of the theater's board of directors. A blade-lighting ceremony will be scheduled for the end of May. Passers-by at Oak and Main streets should notice neon work going up, aluminum skins being placed and updates to the the - ater's marquee boards in the coming week, in addition to the new coat of paint already visi- ble above the theater. The restoration work "will really change the whole sky- line for Red Bluff, so we're ex- cited," Vine said. Work on the blade and mar- quee kicked off in November 2013, when the theater's board paid off the theater's $475,000 mortgage. During a mortgage-burning ceremony held at the theater, the Shasta Regional Commu - nity Foundation presented a $65,000 grant to go toward the project, and directors said about $500,000 had been raised in recent years from sources in the community. "Once again, thanks to the community for sure," Vine said, "because my pockets aren't that deep." The theater's blade and mar - quee, complete with neon lights, should resemble the original specifications of those features before they fell into disrepair in the 1980s, Vine said. Other restoration projects that Vine said should get un - derway sooner rather than later are restoration of an in- terior marquee, snack bar and then the theater's stage and doWntoWn St at e Th ea tr e bla de installation underway installation » PaGe 7 » redbluffdailynews.com Wednesday, april 23, 2014 50 CENTS AN EDITION OF THE CHICO ENTERPRISE-RECORD 7 58551 69001 9 Volume 129, issue 109 today's web bonus » earth day 2014 photos.
