Doors open at 6 p.m. Four candidates are vying for three Red Bluff City Council seats in the Nov. 4 election. Dan- iele Jackson and Rob Schmid are running for re-election.

It also kicked off a month of domestic violence awareness, which is nationally recognized in October. In his keynote speech, Steve Chamblin, chair of the Te- hama County board of super- visors, spoke of the need for healthy role models to set the right example for children. He said those role models should be sought in families, schools, churches, neighborhoods and other groups. "Keeping our community safe by breaking the cycle of domestic violence is everyone's responsibility," Chamblin said. "Domestic violence affects our community and causes numer- ous long-term consequences." Tehama County has 85 per- cent more domestic violence calls per 1,000 people than the state, 65 percent more than Butte County and 27 per- cent more than Shasta County, according to the Criminal Jus- tice Statistics Center. Teresa Montgomery, a do- mestic violence survivor, shared her story of being a part of a cycle of domestic abuse.
