Officers found Benjamin Aragon, of Redding, unconscious with several stab wounds. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital before being flown to Enloe Regional Medical Center in Chico. A friend of Aragon’s from Gerber told police three or four Hispanic men and a woman chased the two through the alley between the 700 blocks of Main and Washington.

The Halls' family helped organize the parade and picnic Saturday, which raised money through the Manton Grange for a new museum roof and school computers. By ANDREA WAGNER DN Staff Writer Following a hometown parade with some 20 entries, folks made their way from Manton Corners up the road to the Rockin’ CR Ranch for an afternoon of food, games and celebration before the new Manton mayor was announced Saturday. Peanuts in shells and wrapped candies littered the street in front of the Manton Store where the town’s parade finished up and winners were given trophies. A crowd stuck around talking and having drinks on the wooden deck of Manton Corners bar and store. With some time before the picnic, horseshoe tournament and games would start, many took the time to visit. “The parade was wonderful,” said Angie Defratus of Red Bluff. “It gets better and better every year.” Don and Angie Defratus, along with Pam Lucchesi of Turlock went to the event to support the town. Angie Defratus and her daughter used to co-own the Manton Store, she said. Her grandchildren live in Manton and she enjoyed all the games and activities for children at the event. “They cater to the kids, which is very nice,” she said. Down a dirt road off of Cedar Ridge Road, the Rockin’ CR Ranch hosted the Manton Grange’s annual picnic on a large stretch of lawn next to a creek and two ponds. Hay bales hung with red and blue bandannas were lying about on the ground. Checkered tablecloths covered some of the tables under See MANTON, page 5A CORNING — A pre- sentation on branding by Dewey Lucero of Lucero Olive Oil has brought about the consideration of adopting a marketing logo for Corning that will be discussed at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Lucero first visited the council May 24 and pre- sented the same concept at a June 21 Planning Commission meeting. Lucero asked the coun- cil to consider what it is that makes up Corning and what its assets are. “It’s the central point between Los Angeles and Portland, a gas stop and a rest area, home to fifth generation families and olives,” Lucero said. Corning was founded in 1907 and has always been known for its olives, he said. “Where else in the US can you find century-old olives?,” Lucero said. “We may have some of the oldest olives in Cali- fornia and we’re known as the Olive Capital. We also have assets here like the I- 5 freeway frontage where 30,000 people drive through each day.” Corning has 99W that runs through the middle of town, he said. The trick is making Corning known and find- ing ways to get people to pull off the freeway and stop at places like Bell Carter Olive Company, Olive Pit and the truck stops. There are newer places like Lucero Olive Oil, Rolling Hills Casino, See LOGO, page 5A Kate, William depart US after charming Hollywood LOS ANGELES (AP) — They came, they schmoozed, they fundraised. Following a nonstop weekend that included a few chukkers of polo, time with Hollywood’s own version of royalty and several events that raised millions of dollars for charity, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge headed back to the U.K. on Sunday. Their Southern Cali- fornian stopover came at the end of a nine-day visit to Canada, the first tour Prince William and his bride Catherine have made since getting mar- ried in April. The U.S. portion of their travels was a some- what low key affair com- pared to their northern visit, where — French separatists aside — the duke and duchess were greeted with rapturous welcomes as they criss- crossed the Common- wealth country. Excitement in Califor- nia was more muted, though small crowds of well-wishers waving British and American flags lined up to catch a glimpse of the newly- 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 weds and well-heeled fans paid thousands of dollars to sip champagne in the couple’s presence at a charity polo match in Santa Barbara on Satur- day. Disneyland, the Hol- lywood sign and the beaches were not on the couple’s agenda, but the duke and duchess man- aged to see a sweeping sampling of the Los Angeles area. They also attended a star-studded, black-tie soiree to promote British filmmaking talent where the guests included Tom Hanks and Jennifer Lopez. On Sunday, they paid a brief visit to Skid Row, downtown’s gritty homeless core. ‘‘Just seeing the smile on Catherine, it was great,’’ said 15-year-old Iliana Samaniego, who along with more than a dozen other performers danced for the couple at Skid Row’s Inner-City Arts academy. Like many who saw the couple, the perform- ers were taken by their easy charm. Jessica Cornejo, 19, said she was thrilled when William gave a double thumbs-up and told them ‘‘brilliant’’ at the end of their perfor- mance. Many at the school were impressed by how down-to-earth and casual the couple were and said they put everyone at ease. ‘‘They were like your oldest friends and fami- ly,’’ said Bob Bates, co- founder of Inner-City Arts. ‘‘The kids really took them to heart.’’ The trip also included a rare display of public affection. After scoring four goals at the polo game and stepping onto a stage to collect the win- See KATE, page 5A Babysitting 101 50 per student Albertson’s and the Job Training Center present Tues., July 12 and Wed., July 13 • 8am to Noon $ Great for Pre-Teens and Teens Two days / 4 hours per day • CPR Certification & First Aid Card • Babysitting Basics • What to do in Emergencies • How to Market Your Skills and Provide a Great Service Call 529-7000 to register Only ten students allowed per class Location: Tehama County Farm Bureau Office 275 Sale Lane, Red Bluff
