ByAndreByik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama District Fair Board of Di- rectors came away from a wide-ranging, four-hour meeting Wednesday with a list of long-term goals to keep the fairgrounds sus- tainable. During the second stakeholders meeting in a little more than a month, current and former Fair board members, county officials, event promoters and others identified four goals to work toward as the 30th District Agricul- tural Association contin- ues to tackle its financial troubles that came to light in recent months. The goals include devel- oping a fundraising pro- gram — perhaps through the establishment of a non- profit organization —, de- veloping new business that may include opportu- nities outside of scheduled events, researching and developing self-promoted events at the fairgrounds, and hiring staff to coordi- nate and promote events in the future. About 15 stakehold- ers attended Wednesday's meeting, which was fa- cilitated by Becky Bai- ley-Findley of the Califor- nia Fair Services Author- ity, and worked through a range of topics, including the mission and vision of the Tehama District Fair- ground and board of di- rectors.

What was important is the developmental aspect of agriculture, primarily of livestock." — Ali Abbassi, National Racing Association's Red Bluff Outlaws CEO and event promoter By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter REDBLUFF A change of venue motion in the trial of Quentin Ray Bealer, accused of killing 14-year- old high school student Marysa Nichols in Feb- ruary 2013, was delayed once again Wednesday. Tehama County Superior Court Judge John Ga- raventa granted the continuance to Oct. 9, but also mentioned the potential of sanctions ac- tion's Bealer's defense attorney Shon Northam, who had failed to file the motion by the sched- uled 9 a.m. hearing. Northam said he had still been working on the motion up until Tuesday night, citing his change of venue expert's busy schedule as a main con- tributor to the delay. Outside the courtroom Northam said the sanc- tions Garaventa referred to could be financial in nature, but he did not mind personally taking the financial hit as he believed in his client's in- nocence. Northam said he wasn't going to just go through the motions and serve up Bealer to a "lynch mob," and would take his time to file thor- ough motions even if it meant missing the court's deadline. "My sole responsibility is to Quentin Bealer," Northam said. The hearing, to determine whether Bealer's trial should be moved to another county, was originally set to be heard April 22. Instead Northam withdrew his original change of venue motion and filed a second one and the hearing was rescheduled for May 12. The hearing was delayed again when Northam said he needed to change his expert consultant because of time commitments to another case. Northam said both of those consultants, Dr. BEALER TRIAL Change ofvenue hearing continued Ten college students will be receiv- ing $15,200 worth of scholarships for the coming school year from the Dairyville Community Club. Since 1998 the club has given a total of $157,700 to Lassen View graduates who will or have entered college as freshmen and Tehama County upper division stu- dents who are majoring in some agricul- tural related field. Funds are generated from the Dairyville Orchard Festival, which will be held Oct. 18 at Lassen View School, and other monies that come from gifts from individuals in memory of friends or loved ones or in honor of special oc- casions. Team Sunsweet also makes a generous contribution to the agricul- tural scholarship. LASSEN VIEW GRADS Dairyville scholarship recipients named By Josh Richman and Jessica Calefati Bay Area News Group SACRAMENTO Family members and police could ask courts to take away a mentally disturbed person's guns under a bill inspired by May's UC Santa Barbara massacre and approved Wednes- day by the state Senate. AB 1014 got at least 23 votes in the 40-mem- ber Senate, sending it to the Assembly for a vote later this week. "Family members are often the first to spot the warning signs when someone is in crisis," said Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berke- ley, adding that the bill she co-authored "provides an effective tool to get guns out of the hands of loved ones to avoid these tragedies." Gun-rights advocates disagree. "No one wants mentally disturbed individuals who are an im- minent danger to themselves and others to be al- lowed to commit some act of tragic proportions, but this bill unfortunately does not resolve this concern," said Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California.
