CHP arrests man after officer hit inside Capitol SACRAMENTO (AP) — A man who has made repeated attempts to contact Gov. Jerry Brown was arrested Monday after he assaulted an officer inside the Capitol, the California Highway Patrol said. Eric Ball, 38, of Sacramento punched a CHP offi- cer in the eye and suffered minor injuries himself as he was being subdued and arrested, said Sgt. Rick Campbell of CHP’s Capitol Protective Services. Officers wrestled with Ball and shocked him with a stun gun, Campbell said. Ball suffered a laceration when he struck his head on a wall or the floor. Last week, officers escorted Ball from the Capi- tol after he began yelling incoherently outside Brown’s office, Campbell said. He has returned sev- eral times without incident. Campbell was not sure why Ball wanted to contact Brown. Ball passed through the metal detector at the Capitol entrance Monday and ignored two officers just beyond the security checkpoint when they asked about his plans, Campbell said. When they confronted him, he turned as if to leave the building then struck one officer in the right eye, Campbell said. The officers scuffled with him and one fired a stun gun while subduing Ball. A Sacramento Fire Department ambulance crew carried Ball from the building on a gurney and took him to UC Davis Medical Center. He was treated and returned to police custody. The injured officer, whom Campbell would not identify, suffered a bruise and later returned to work. Ball was being held at Sacramento County Jail on $50,000 bond on suspicion of battery and felony resisting arrest, sheriff’s Deputy Jason Ramos said. Police were not sure if Ball was represented by a lawyer. No listing for Ball could be located in the Sacramento telephone directory. CARE TO COMMENT?

BUDGET Continued from page 1A Sacramento, said he has not spoken to Brown since last week and says no meetings are scheduled. Assemblyman Tom Berry- hill, R-Modesto, described it as ‘‘silent over the week- end.’’ Sen. Mark Leno said and Mary McMahon at 11580 Tyler Rd, on Sunday July 24th from 2PM to 4PM for friends and family. the governor holds the key to the negotiations because his central budget proposal has not yet received sufficient support and he vetoed the Democ- rats’ proposal. ‘‘What is his plan? We showed ours; he didn’t like it. What’s his?’’ said Leno, D-San Francisco. Brown wants the Legis- lature to call a special election for later this year so voters can decide whether to extend a series of expiring tax increases for up to five years. So far, he has been unable to get support from the two Republican lawmakers he needs in each house to place a measure on the ballot. The last of those tax increases expire June 30. BANG Continued from page 1A Once the fashion show, live entertainment, outdoor cinema and silent auction were in place, festival organizers wondered what else could be added to start the weekend off with a bang. Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce CEO and sponsor Dave Gowan suggested fireworks. “What’s a big celebration without fireworks,” Gowan said. The idea was lauded, yet thought prohibitive given the trees and vege- tation lining the scenic fairways, of Wilcox Oaks. But Wilcox Oaks Director Bill DeWildt and Board President Jennie Owens made it possible. “Everyone was so impressed that Bill and Jennie made the fireworks FLAVOR Continued from page 1A highlights local tourist attractions, historic landmarks and local shopping.

CLEARLAKE (AP) — Authorities in Northern California on Monday were still looking for a ‘‘person of interest’’ in the weekend shooting of six people that left a 4-year- old boy dead and his mother hospitalized in critical condition. Officers found the boy and five others wounded from gunshots late Satur- day night during a barbe- cue in Clearlake, police Sgt. Tom Clements told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. The child was pro- nounced dead at a local hospital while his mother, Desiree Kirby, is in a med- ically induced coma at a Sacramento hospital after being traumatized by her son’s death, police said. Police have not released the boy’s name. The remaining four vic- tims, including a pair of brothers, were taken to a hospital and are expected to live. No suspects are in cus- tody as investigators con- tinue searching for Kevin Stone, 29, of Clearlake, who they deem as a ‘‘key person of interest,’’ Clements said. A second person of interest could be named on Monday, Clements added. He declined to provide details about the shooting or what role Stone possi- bly played. The attack did not appear to be gang- related, Clements added. About 15 people attended a barbecue and bonfire at a house when a noise that sounded like a firecracker came over the fence, said Amanda Gam- ble, 19, a family relative who attended the gather- ing, told the newspaper. Gamble said after she looked to see where the sound came from, she turned back and saw that Located in Chico, CA Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service Family owned & Operated Honor and Dignity 527-1732 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 529-3655 www.affordablemortuary.net Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 Daily News photo by Chip Thompson Guests look over the selection at Julia’s Fruit Stand on Hwy 99E Sunday during the Tehama Trail Passport Weekend event.

At least two shooters appeared to have been firing from about 15 feet away, Gamble said. ‘‘We lost a 4-year-old for no reason,’’ she said. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County After that, any tax propos- al would be for new taxes rather than existing ones, putting lawmakers in a politically perilous posi- tion. It’s not clear whether Brown has a Plan B, even as time is running out to find compromise. Democrats passed a spending plan last week to meet the state’s June 15 constitutional deadline for the fiscal year that begins July 1. They said they believe that action allows them to continue receiving their paychecks, but state Controller John Chiang will decide whether it meets the language of a voter-approved initiative that halts pay if lawmakers miss their budget deadline. Brown angered law- makers from both parties with his swift veto. Democrats complained that he has been unable to persuade Republicans to agree to his special elec- tion, while Republicans were miffed that he blamed them for the fiscal impasse. The handful of Republican lawmakers who have been negotiating with Brown say they want pension reforms and a spending cap in return for their support of a special election. The governor said the Democratic budget plan didn’t go far enough. He said he did not want to see ‘‘more billions in borrow- ing, legal maneuvers that are questionable and a budget that will not stand the test of time.’’ Duran said Monday that Brown will keep pur- suing tax extensions because he doesn’t want to ‘‘just kick the can down the road and paper over the holes.’’ Brown wants to ask voters to extend for up to five years the increases in the sales, vehicle and per- sonal income taxes enact- ed in 2009. The higher sales and vehicle taxes expire June 30, while the increased personal income tax rate expired in January. In the meantime, he wants the Legislature to approve funding that would extend the vehicle and sales tax increases until the special election, which could come as soon as September. Festival Kick-Off Party Presenting Sponsor: McGlynn & McGlynn 8-midnight, Friday Wilcox Oaks Tickets: $35 person, $60 couple, $7.50 children 12 younger happen,” said festival steering com- mittee member Sandie Kemp, who Democrats have majorities in the Assembly and Senate but need at least two Republican votes in each house to pass tax increases or place mea- sures on a ballot. Some Republicans remain optimistic that the Legislature could work out a compromise by the end of the month. ‘‘Both sides are going to have to sit down and have some conversations, because there’s 10 days until a budget needs to be passed. So it’s getting down to time to make those decisions,’’ said Sen. Bill Emmerson, R-Hemet. Emmerson said four Senate Republicans remain willing to put the tax issue before voters based on the reforms they feel are needed to solve the state’s long-term prob- lems. But he said he does- n’t know if the Legisla- ture’s passage and Brown’s veto of the bud- get last week changes the dynamics of the budget discussions. ‘‘That’s one I can’t answer,’’ he said. is organizing the fashion show. DeWildt said 25 club members have volunteered to work the event, and they can’t wait to host the town at the facility. “We talk amongst ourselves about Wilcox Oaks being the best kept secret in Northern California,” DeWildt said. “We’d love everyone to come out and show them a great time. But the big thing is to save our city pool.” Tickets for the Kick-Off Party are $35 per person, $60 per couple and $7.50 for children 12 years and younger.
