Editor'snote:InthecomingdaystheDailyNewswill run transcript from Monday's candidate's night hosted by the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce. Today's portion includes answers given by Te- hama County Board of Supervisor District 2 candidates Sandy Bruce and Candy Carlson. Introduction SANDYBRUCE» Iwanttothankyouallforbeing here this evening and thank you Chamber for in- viting us all. I just want to give you a little back- ground. I was appointed to this position by the governor, selected after a long screening and in- terview process and I was selected out of 24 other candidates. Even though the governor appointed me, I want to make it clear that a lot of my opin- ions and beliefs in issues are different than his. I am a Republican and more importantly I have a local Tehama County perspective. I am in a non- partisan position, but just to clear up some con- fusion I've heard lately. Yes, I've been a registered Republican since my late 20s, early 30s and un- less my opponent has changed her party affilia- tion and I would certainly welcome her to cor- rect me if I'm wrong, she's a Democrat. There's the transparency, it's all out there. I've also heard reference regarding the 5-0 votes that happen on the board. I used to say the same thing until I came on board. (At this point there was a slight delay as the battery on microphone had to be replaced). As I was saying I used to think that it's always the same thing, it's always 5-0, it's al- ways 5-0. I learned the difference when I came on the board between just plain routine county NOV. 4 ELECTION Candidatesspeak, persuade at forum Staff Reports RED BLUFF » Red Bluff police said a motorist who struck an 11-year-old boy in a crosswalk at Jef- ferson and Walnut streets Tuesday afternoon fled the scene.

RED BLUFF Driver hitsboyin crosswalk, fleesscene 11-year-oldboysuffersminorinjuries By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF » The family of 18-year-old Shae Smith, who was struck and killed by a motorist suspected of driv- ing under the influence Sept. 30 on Antelope Boulevard, is reaching out to the commu- nity for help to cover funeral costs. About 10:30 a.m. Sept. 30, a motorist suspected of driv- ing under the influence lost control of her vehicle and struck pedestrians Smith and Travis Burke, 20, near the shoulder of the road by the Valero gas station across from the Tehama District Fairground, Red Bluff po- lice said. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene. Burke was taken to St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital for "signif- icant injuries," Red Bluff po- lice said. The driver, 36-year-old Elizabeth Anne Lang of Red Bluff, who was traveling east in a 1993 Honda Accord, was arrested at the scene on sus- picion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs after submitting to "several field sobriety tests," Red Bluff police said. Lang faces charges of ve- hicular manslaughter, driv- ing under the influence of alcohol or drugs causing injury, possession of a con- trolled substance and being under the influence of a con- trolled substance, according to online Tehama County Superior Court records. Lang appeared in court Tuesday morning for a scheduled entry of plea and setting hearing, which fam- ily members of Smith say was continued to a later date. Lang remains in cus- tody with bail set at $1 mil- lion.
