The troop then takes a break at the State Theatre to scout the place for a future appearance. They’re thrilled that they managed to find time to buy fresh produce and gifts for their friends and family before they do, cour- tesy of our local farmers and creative crafters, of course.” Behrens’ reference to the talented acrobats of Cirque du Soleil stems from the fes- tival’s water ski and wake- board exhibition, produced by two-time U.S. slalom champion Eric Pettinger. Festival organizers con- sider the exhibition the day’s biggest attraction. The hour- long performance takes place at 2 p.m., from a spe- cial boat dock being installed at the mid-point of the park’s river bank, ensur- ing prime viewing by the festival crowd. “This will be the last year we can do something like this, given the situation with the salmon and river flows,” Pettinger said. Pettinger’s exhibition team will perform using kite boards, flying tubes, sky sails, hydrofoils and more. Complimenting these exhibitions will be profes- sional wakeboarders, water skiers and a number of tal- ented children on skis who are ready to surprise and delight. Yet with all that, Pet- tinger’s eyes twinkle at one more piece of news. It’s a surprise he’s clearly reluc- tant to disclose. “My friends, pilot Pete Taylor and Mike Gunsauls over at PJ Helicopters, they’re in on this thing, too,” Pettinger said. “Like they say, lookout above.” CAlawmakers feel financial loss for late budget SACRAMENTO (AP) — Few tears are being shed for California lawmakers. The man who cuts the state’s paychecks decided to enforce a law this week that all 120 members of the Legislature will not be paid their salaries until they bal- ance the state’s annual spending plan by closing its $9.6 billion budget deficit. Democratic lawmakers say they followed the law by passing a budget last week and should not be penalized because Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed it. They criticized the decision, saying the first use of a law some of them pushed for violated the separation of power between the executive branch and legislators. One lawmaker fretted about having to tell his family that they can’t pay their bills.

The reor- ganization would have created a savings of about $70,000. Carlisi’s salary would be reduced by about 30 percent, which is the esti- mated equivalent amount of work she would be relieved of with the trans- fer. While transferring out- door maintenance of the Community Center with parks is logical, indoor maintenance creates an issue. She needs to have the ability to direct work- ers to do tasks that often times come up at the last minute, Carlisi said. A worker might be needed to set up more chairs or open up a larger room because the booked room gets filled. “It’s not taking work away but creating more work for me because now I have to go through a dif- ferent department,” Carlisi said. The proposal includes a BARK Continued from page 1A also be a demonstration with agility dogs and the chance for people to have their pets run the course.

A Corning man reported- ly resisted arrest and was hit with a stun gun in Red Bluff Monday after driving under the influence in a stolen vehicle. Salvador Francisco Madrigal, 36, of Corning was arrested just before 6 p.m. in the parking lot of Tractor Supply, 249 S. Main St. At 5:25 p.m., a report came in about a vehicle cutting off people on Interstate 5 and in the city limits, the logs said.

Jackson said the reduc- tion would result in a loss of facility rental fees at the Community Center. With- out a live person answer- ing the phones and taking reservations, people will choose to rent elsewhere. “Reducing the position will greatly hinder the money we bring in,” Jack- son said. She has worked for Parks and Recreation and performed every single job in the department except for being a softball umpire, Jackson said. Having that inside ability to see what goes on in the department makes her think the proposed cuts are not feasible. Councilman Wayne Brown, a Budget Commit- tee member, said the goal of the proposal was to cre- ate less responsibility for the recreation director. The council has been looking at trying to do some major changes for awhile, and this may be it, he said. “These are sweeping changes,” Brown said. “But it’s a new world, and it’s time to do something different.” He voted against pulling the reorganization to allow it to be revisited by the committee. The council was less receptive to pleas from the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce and accepted the commit- tee’s recommendation to set a $70,000 annual cap on the amount of transient occupancy tax revenue given to the chamber. Chamber CEO Dave Gowan asked for another chance to negotiate with the city, as the cap had not come up before in discus- sions with the committee. Councilman Rob Schmid said the council is not trying to stop the chamber from doing any of the good work it has been doing but asks that the chamber join the city in getting through the dif- ficult fiscal time. “We’ll give back what- ever we take as soon as we can, but we have to get through this,” Schmid said. Gowan said he under- stood and wanted to con- tinue working with the council, but the chamber’s share of TOT revenue has been reduced over the past few years. With a cap in place the chamber could possibly lose more. “We’re with you, but we don’t want to see the trend continue of getting less and less,” Gowan said. Even though the coun- cil adopted the recommen- dation, the committee will continue to meet with the chamber to revisit the issue of the cap. No additional salary and benefits cuts are Prizes include a Viore 24-inch flat screen TV, a portable Sylvania DVD player, a Tom Tom GPS, a gift box of local olive oil, a one-night stay at Holi- day Inn in Corning and a $100 certifi- cate for a veterinarian.

The city is still negotiating with all the employee groups. If the 12 percent con- cessions are not main- tained, the cuts would be drastic and catastrophic, Mayor Bob Carrel said. McGlynn Pool will again receive no fund allo- cation. Police Department overtime costs will be reduced by $10,000. How that reduction will be achieved has yet to be determined by Chief Paul Nanfito. Cuts in departmental operations and the transfer of one finance position to the water fund will result in a savings of about $54,700. A large part of the city’s budget is dependent on the state budget and allocation of the COPS grant. The city expects to receive $100,000 from the grant, which would help pay for $45,000 in book- ing fees to the Tehama County Jail. The city would have to make changes in its final budget if that funding does not come through. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.co m. event, but is normally open 1-4 p.m. Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sundays and by appointment.
