"Thesuccessof this project is not that we have raised $750,000 ... but rather the level and magnitude and unconditional support our efforts have received from virtually every segment of this community." BillCornelius,pastpresidentofState Theatre board By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF ThecityofRedBluff says it may not be able to provide swimming lessons and other ser- vices at McGlynn Pool because of a lifeguard shortage. According to a staff document on the City Council's agenda for its Tuesday meeting, the city has been unable to hire a Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructor, which means no swimming lessons are planned. It also says only five lifeguards have been hired so far, which will affect pool operations. The pool opens June 9, and will operate for open swim Monday RED BLUFF Cityfaces lifeguard shortage Noswimming lessons at McGlynn Pool this summer By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF About 75 volun- teers on Saturday trimmed trees, cleared brush and pro- vided a clear line of sight from behind Red Bluff High School's baseball field to Bidwell Elemen- tary School. Coordinators with Cleaner, Greener Red Bluff, an organi- zation that hosts cleanup proj- ects at least once a year, said Saturday's project was sched- uled on short notice, but volun- teers and community businesses aided in clearing the area be- hind the high school's baseball field where Marysa Nichols was found slain last year. "There's 50 plus kids a day that walk through here," coordi- nator Sean Rix said. "It's amaz- ing that something didn't hap- pen sooner. So now, by doing this hopefully we can get some more support and have (the area) cleaned consistently so we don't have to have 100 volunteers take care of something that should have been taken care of."
