CITY COUNCIL Raises approved for heads, managers Managers,midmanagers receive 4.5 percent salary increases Staff reports CORNING An audit for the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indi- ans, which has been embroiled in a leadership dispute since April, found that "former tribal leaders mismanaged millions of dollars of assets in improper spending, salaries and poorly researched in- vestments," according to a Sacra- mento Bee article published Tues- day. The new audit, the newspa- per reported, was conducted by WilmerHale and "is the product of a mediated settlement between the two factions that called for an independent audit," Since April, the Paskenta Band of Nomalaki Indians, which owns and operates Rolling Hills Casino near Corning, has been involved in a leadership dispute that has had two factions lobbing allega- tions of embezzlement, hiring armed security forces and claim- ing rightful leadership over the tribe. Four members of the federally recognized Tribal Council and about 70 other tribal members were ousted during tribal meet- ings in April and May and had made multiple attempts to take control of the casino, which re- mains open under existing man- agement and the faction led by Tribal Council Chairman Andrew Freeman. Among the ousted council members were Vice President Da- vid Swearinger, Secretary Geral- dine Freeman, Treasurer Leslie Lohse and member-at-large Al- len Swearinger. On July 8, a press release is- sued by the casino said that both sides had come to an agreement, which included new tribal elec- tions scheduled for Sept. 13, con- tinued operation of the casino un- der existing management and a call for a third party auditor to investigate alleged improprieties.

Tehama Angus Ranch will hold its 40th Anniversary Pro- duction Sale Sept. 12. "It is an accomplishment to take a family business that far and continue to expand on it," Cattle Operations manager Bryce Borror said. The Borror family's history in the cattle business dates back to 1909 and a dairy in Missouri. They moved to California in 1918. Their Gerber ranch was established in 1948. That history is in every bull the family sells dating back to an Angus heifer purchased by Bruce Borror for an FFA proj- ect in 1940. The family also developed a Sequoia Stock Farm into one of the leading sources of Holstein genetics in the western United States. "Everything in the sale goes back to those first cows," Bryce said. The herd's success led to it being enrolled in the Univer- sity of California Record of Per- formance Program, a precursor to the California Beef Cattle Im- provement Association. The family has continued to try to stay at the forefront of new technology since then. In 1975 they held the first ever private Angus bull sale in Cali- fornia. That tradition continues next week even if some of the aspects are being adapted to fit with the current business. For instance this year's sale will be the first that will done completely via video, without the bulls entering the bidding circle. Bulls will still be available in pens outside for commer- cial customers to inspect and there will still be auctioneers, but when the show starts Bryce says everyone will just be sitting around televisions instead. "The main thing is it's eas- ier on the cattle and the help to make the show run," he said. The ranch will celebrate with a barbecue dinner Sept. 11, in- cluding a performance by stand- up comedian and syndicated columnist Will Durst. The next day is the sale, dur- ing which 160 bulls will be sold to ranchers across the coun- try, with the only change being something for which the family has always strived. "It ought to be the best set of bulls we've ever sold and that ought to be exciting," Bryce said. CATTLE RANCH CELEBRATES 40TH BULL SALE COURTESYPHOTO Tehama Angus Ranch.
