Judge Todd Bottke set An- thony Edwards Stangl's trial to run from Feb. 25-27, 2015. California Highway Patrol of- ficers say Stangl, 28, was travel- ing south on Hall Road outside of Corning at about 60-65 mph when he allegedly ran a stop sign at South Avenue and struck the driver's side of Barrera's east- bound vehicle. Barrera, who was 45, was pro- nounced dead at the scene. Stangl has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence causing injury and special allegations including hav- ing been convicted of a prior se- rious felony. He has pleaded not guilty. Bottke set pre-trial conference dates for Jan. 20 and Feb. 13. Stangl, who appeared in court Wednesday following his prelim- inary hearing on Oct. 28, remains in custody.

Tehama County Superior Court Judge John Garaventa said he had been too optimistic that a county would accept transfer of the case. Garaventa granted Quentin Ray Bealer's defense team's mo- tion for a change of venue Nov. 3, citing the reasonable likeli- hood that Bealer could not get a fair and impartial trial in Tehama County. Garaventa said Wednesday he was still waiting for responses from Sutter, Yolo and Colusa counties. Sacramento County has informed Tehama it would accept the transfer of the case. Garaventa continued the mat- ter until 10 a.m. Monday and then turned his attention to Bealer's defense attorney Shon Northman. On Oct. 10 Garaventa had or- dered Northman to pay the court $500 for missing an earlier fil- ing deadline during the change of venue process. Wednesday Garaventa read back Northman's defense of miss- ing the deadline, which included the line: "I didn't want to feel pressure from the bench to jam this case to trail and I feel that is exactly what has happened." Garaventa then proceeded to read the transcript from every delay the case has had since the first felony arraignment on March 6, 2013. The delays occurred dur- ing the entry of plea, preliminary hearing and change of venue pro- cesses. Garaventa said the court's will- ingness to grant continuances did not sound like the court pressur- MARYSA NICHOLS Bealervenuechoicedelayedagain Judge questions defense attorney's comments By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter CORNING » A boy who suffers from cystic fibrosis has a new skateboard ramp to glide on af- ter having his wish granted on Veterans Day. A team of volunteers from The Home Depot and the re- gional chapter of the Make-A- Wish Foundation installed a new skateboard ramp for Na- than Coats, 9, at his Corning home on Tuesday, said Tammie McCoy of The Home Depot, who was one of the roughly 10 volun- teers who surprised Nathan on Tuesday morning. "He was so excited," McCoy said. "So excited. The skateboard ramp was donated by Keen Ramps out of Southern California, McCoy said. From 9 a.m. to about 1 p.m. volunteers, including two veter- ans, spent the Veterans Day hol- iday installing the ramp in Na- than's yard. "The look on his face was just priceless," McCoy said. Cystic fibrosis is a life-threat- ening disease that makes it hard to digest and breathe properly, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The Northeastern California and Northern Nevada chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which McCoy said approached volunteers with The Home De- pot's volunteer Team Depot pro- gram to grant Nathan's wish Tuesday, was founded in 1983 and has granted more than 5,000 wishes.
