A celebration of his life will be on August 20th at 10am at 23518 Salt Creek Road, Red Bluff. Chester Lee Hunt, Jr., went home to be with the Lord, BRANDING Continued from page 1A new logo. “Logos and slogans are not brands, Corning — or anyone else,” Brooks said. “It means nothing.” Nobody goes to visit a place just because it claims to be the capital of some fruit or vegetable. Fruits, grains and vegetables are part of the ambience, not the initial draw, he said. If Corning wants to choose olives, it should turn that into an experience. “It’s not just about olives, but what you do with them,” Brooks said. RICHARD JOHN HALLOCK Richard John Hallock, of Red Bluff, California went to meet the Lord on July 30, 2011. He was 93. Richard was born in National City, California on June 6, 1918 to James W. and Jessie F. Hallock.

Affordable Mortuary is handling the arrangements. Published Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2011, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Brown warns of political crisis SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday said he is concerned the deep partisan- ship on display in the nation’s capital during the debate over raising the federal debt limit reflects a larger political crisis for the nation. The Democratic governor said in a telephone interview that his attempts to negotiate a bipartisan state budget deal earlier this year were characterized by the same level of intransigence in the Republican Party that he observed in Congress. The governor signed a state spending plan last month based primarily on spending cuts after it was passed by majority Democrats without Republican support. Brown was unable to get GOP support for what he had hoped would be a balanced approach that would have addressed what had been a $26.6 billion deficit through spending cuts and a renewal of expiring tax increases. The temporary hikes to the personal income, sales and vehicle taxes had been enacted under former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican. ‘‘I found the same thing with California when I couldn’t even get one Republican to vote to extend taxes that had been voted in by the previous governor and they just said, We’ll be recalled. They basically said they’re frozen in fear of Republican activists who they felt would recall them,’’ Brown said. He added, ‘‘That same fear is in Washington, so the country is facing a governability crisis.’’ Assembly Republican leader Connie Conway of Tulare said Brown hasn’t stood up to union leaders whom she says dictate Brown’s political agenda. ‘‘That’s an interesting perspective coming from the same man who refused to stand up to his union boss allies by putting pension reform and a spending cap on the ballot,’’ Conway said. GOP state lawmakers had wanted reforms to the public pension system, a state spending cap and an overhaul of state business regulations in exchange for authorizing a spe- cial election, but in the end could not close a deal with the governor. Republicans criticized the Democratic budget plan for lack of long-term reforms, saying it does nothing to address California’s chronic imbalance between the amount of tax money coming in and its annual spending obligations. Brown says the Republican Party’s stance on taxes and government spending has made it nearly impossible to forge compromises. Brown, who first served as California governor from 1975 to 1983, called the change ominous. He said even his plan to ease state prison overcrowding by hav- ing counties take responsibility for low-level offenders has become partisan when it shouldn’t be viewed that way. ‘‘This didn’t exist when I was governor the last time,’’ Brown said. The governor said Democrats are not blameless. He said they increasingly vote together, which undermines ‘‘the independent, robust debate that democracy assumes.’’ There also may be added costs in administer- ing the changes, he said. “I can see staff time used to follow this up,” Russell said. “I just don’t feel good about the poli- cy.” The new law will give preference to businesses that: are physically located in the county, have at least one full-time employee, being done in Corning will go hand in hand with whatever is eventually chosen as the brand. Helping to develop a brand will be a number of stakeholder groups that will meet with Brooks and his team this week during several planned one-on-one sessions. Among the stakeholders is Tehama District Fairground CEO Mark Eidman and members of the fairboard. Eidman said he agrees with what Brooks has been saying and is hope- ful Brooks will be able to provide more guidance during the stake- holder meeting. “We’re guilty of all that he said,” Eidman said. “All of it has been generic as heck.” He has not decided on the ideas he will take to the meeting with Brooks, Eidman said. He wants to hear more about a plan to bring everyone together in this effort instead of having fragmented groups. Those who attended Tuesday’s workshop took a brief survey in hold a valid business license in county jurisdic- tion, have been in opera- tion for at least six months and are not delinquent in the payment of any taxes, charges or assessments owed to the county. Chairman Avilla stood with Russell against the ordinance. “I can certainly under- stand where we want to create jobs and promote business,” Avilla said. However, the ordinance is a “can of worms” that shouldn’t be opened, he said. The ordinance only applies to competitive bid- ding for certain items and excludes public works projects. The new law will apply to purchasing of “wid- gets,” which include capi- ROLLOVER Continued from page 1A The name of the deceased has been released by the California Highway Patrol as 30-year-old Rick Garibaldi.

In past years, campers have hiked to which they listed some of their favorite hangouts and shops, provid- ed comments on how they think out- siders perceive the county and gave suggestions on what they thought should be the Tehama County brand. A more comprehensive survey can be found at www.destinationte- hama.wordpress.com. The public is invited to take the survey and offer suggestions over the next three weeks. Brooks will take the information from the surveys and the stakehold- er meetings and develop a direction for the brand. He should be back within a month or so to present the results. Developing a brand could take from 3 years to 20 years, Brooks said. “You never roll out a brand,” he said. “You earn it.” ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com. tal equipment and items such as vehicles, equip- ment or other items worth more than $25,000, Wylene said. In helping write the ordinance, Wylene researched similar policies from Redding, Fresno, Santa Cruz and Solano, he said. The Tehama County version includes bits and pieces from each of those. The new ordinance will take effect Sept. 1, 2011, or 30 days from when it was passed. The change will mean that local businesses that submit bids for county purchasing after that date may get chances to re-sub- mit bids, should they come within 5 percent of the lowest bidder. The county will need to look at the individual bids rate of speed, approaching a left hand curve in the road, said Califor- nia Highway Patrol Officer Phillip Mackintosh. As Garibaldi entered the left hand curve, the right wheels of his Jeep ran off the pavement on the right road edge. Garibaldi steered hard back to the left, which caused the Jeep to slide sideways before rolling over, Mack- intosh said.

After-meal Death linked to ground turkey WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is scrambling to find the source of a salmonella outbreak likely linked to ground turkey that has killed one and sickened dozens more. Finding the source of an outbreak hasn’t been easy; the government has been chasing the illnesses for months. The Agriculture Department, which oversees meat safety, said it is still investigating who produced the meat, and the depart- ment hasn’t initiated a recall. California state health officials said Tuesday that the one death was in Sacramento County. Seventy-six people in 26 states have been made sick from the same strain of the dis- ease. The illnesses date back to March, and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that cul- tures of ground turkey from four retail locations between March 7 and June 27 showed contamination. more closely to determine which bidders, if any, are eligible to submit a new bid. The process could also extend the bidding time, should there be a need for revised bids. “It could potentially add time to the bidding process,” Wylene said. “Some, but not a huge amount of time.” Williams assured the board that the ordinance will have no direct finan- cial impact on the county.

THE PASSING PARADE Back in the 1950’s, I audio taped townsfolk as well as members of our family. Our late daughter Madalyn took many of the reel to reel tapes and combined them on audio cassettes. It wasn’t until going through her effects that we discovered them. Therefore we have the recorded voices of druggist Bill Norvell, auto parts pioneer Walter Stoll, Doctor O.T. Jack Wood, the Big Steer Darrell Conard and some or our old meat plant employees such as Laverne Skeet Flournoy. Also in her collection was one of my 8mm films she had transcribed to a videotape. I was on leave from the army and took the occasion to slowly pan retail stores from Oak Street north and making a left turn on to Walnut doing the same pan. The film quality is not good but one can easily identify landmarks of days gone by featuring the Crocker Bank, Sprouse Reitz, the Safeway Store across from the Post Office, the Brunswick Billiard Parlor, and of course the Tremont Hotel and the Cone Kimball building. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 John Moore had a Cadillac dealership next to the Crocker Bank, Hobby Hobson had a Ford dealership just across the street north from the present day Peking Restaurant. J.C. Penney was flourishing where the present day McMahan’s stands vacant. And our building at 760 Main depicts the Motor Inn Garage in all its converted from a stable glory. Further south is Trede Bros. Saloon. So...what? What do we have, what is it worth...and is it of enough interest to the general public to combine the audio and the film into a night of showing for the benefit of the State Theatre for the Arts? We could also include the Dr. Doane collection of 16mm film shot right here in river city during the 1930’s showing a City Road Department grader scooping snow off Main street, early day proprietors of Elmore’s Pharmacy, and the throwing of live turkeys off the old City Hall roof at Washington and Pine for a pre Thanksgiving crowd. We could even throw in film of those connected with our old plant such as my father, John Hoy and Jack Trainor. The list is endless. The trick will be knowing when to stop the recreation of those bygone people and places. The other trick will be the assemblage of all of this for a night to remember for those who want to remember what increasingly has become the good old days. I’ve discussed this briefly with Bill Cornelieus the head honcho for the State Theater for the Arts campaign. He indicated that it could be a winner. I would like to display this proposed minor work of art during my lifetime...but I wonder if it would attract the young and the late comers to Red Bluff? We will have to huddle on that one.
