COUNTY Continued from page 1A tially give the state the right to refuse local use of parking areas sometime down the road, he said. Supervisors would not accept the changes and are now waiting on another draft to come back from the state for final approval. Trying to complete the documen- tation before an October meeting of the state public works department, Supervisors may have to call a spe- cial meeting to make it happen, Goodwin said. Delays could cause timing issues that would be detrimental to getting the funding for the project, he said. The courthouse project is part of a bigger state plan that started more than 12 years ago, Goodwin said. Proposals to revamp the county court system came out when things were better financially. "Four to five years ago things looked like they were going to go through quickly," he said. The Tehama County Courthouse was considered one of the highest priority projects in the state's Trial Court Capital Outlay Plan announced in 2008, just before the economy took a dive. "Now, they are not even sure they have enough money to operate the existing courts," Goodwin said. The plan focused on 41 court- house fixer-uppers throughout the state and offered only 13 projects initial funding, including Tehama County. Local plans are to build a 62,033- square-foot structure with five courtrooms that would eliminate use of the Corning courthouse annex and consolidate the six facilities in DUST Continued from page 1A The local cowboy church has about a dozen regular members, but they expect growth, Newton said. "It is a very different approach to it," Newton said. The Wild West Fest will be the first of its kind in Red Bluff, he said. The idea is to get people to understand what church is. "Many think of it as a building we go to on Sun- day and criticize those peo- ple when they make a mis- take," Newton said. "We as believers are a church." Others believe church has to be somber and solemn and quiet, he said. "We get rid of that pretty quick," he said. "It's not about behavior - it's about relationship. It's okay to have fun."

Josiah Ferrin. Officers pulled over a 1995 Dodge truck just before 1 a.m., Sept. 22, when the front passenger, described as a white man in a black hat jumped and ran from the vehicle flee- ing down Orange Street, logs said. He was later identified as Bacon who had out- standing warrants for his arrest, Ferrin said. Another passenger in INFERNO Continued from page 1A local drivers on a specially designed course, split into two groups. Half will run in each group and if time permits the top three will be run in a tough trucks finals, he said. There will be quad wars featur- ing Team Red Bluff versus Team Sacramento, and the HillBilly will be back to liven things up. An autograph session will be held both before and after the shows, Matthews said. "The way autographs are done is really a one of a kind thing," Matthews said. "It's what helped build the sport to what it is today. If someone doesn't get one before because time is limited they can also get one after. If it takes three hours, that's what we'll do." Trucks will be out for specta- tors to take pictures with and about an hour and a half before the show drivers will line up at a table with people bringing items bought at the show or from home for drivers to sign. At the beginning of the line the item is passed to the first driver use in the county into one facility. The supervisors are planning to revisit the courthouse property issue again Tuesday. Also on the agenda, supervisors agreed now is not the time to talk about Development Impact Fees. They decided unanimously to postpone any discussion about implementation of any fees until Oct. 1, 2012. When the discussion came up originally, people thought the area would grow and the fee would help the county balance the costs of growth. win said. "Nothing's growing now," Good- Adoption for any such fee would have to be made by Oct. 4, preceded by public information meetings, according to a timetable Goodwin presented to the board April 26. The board will revisit the issue in a year. Another community project, the Antelope Area Sewer Project, was set to idle as a final report was pre- sented Tuesday declaring the project complete, as far as the county is concerned. Public Works Director Gary Antone presented the Antelope Area Sewer Project Small Communities Grant Final Report to the board for approval. The report had a recap of what was spent and a summary of the pre- liminary engineering and other reports authorized by the county, Antone said. However, the county has yet to receive comments back from the state as to what to do next, he said. The county has completed its end of the project and is finished for now, Antone said. "There has been no emphasis from the state resources board in the events, but he is taking a big part in planning and work- ing at the Wild West Fest in Red Bluff. Huffman keeps a special place in his heart for Red Bluff, he said. Coming to do cowboy church at the Red Bluff Round-Up for many years, he still comes once a month to meet with the local group and friends here, he said. Huffman has helped orchestrate festivals similar to the Wild West Fest in other places, but he wanted this year to bring it closer to Red Bluff specifically because of his history with locals, he said. "It's probably one of the last frontiers in cowboy cul- ture," Huffman said. "Red Bluff has managed to hold on to their heritage as ranchers and cowboys." The fest is a chance for people to come together to learn about the Christian faith and to have fun togeth- er, he said. "My desire is to put something good into the 20, was found to be in pos- session of a hypodermic syringe and a metham- phetamine smoking device, he said. Torres was arrested and booked on both charges at the Tehama County Jail with bail of $2,000. The driver of the vehi- cle was not arrested. Bacon was charged on the vehicle, Renae Torres, warrants for first degree and from there it's handed to the next all the way down the line so that all the drivers sign, Matthews said. "No one goes home until everyone who wants an autograph gets one," Matthews said. The sport of monster trucks has become very mainstream and in 2010 surpassed supercross in popularity and attendance, Matthews said. "It's all over Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand," Matthews said. "It'll be world- wide soon." The 2010 West Coast Monster Trucks was a successful show, he said. "We did very well," Matthew said. "We had about 16,000 peo- ple attend." "I encourage those who want to come Saturday to buy their tickets early and to get to the show early as it is very popular," Matthews said. "Don't forget to bring the camera. The trucks will be in the arena all three nights. It's an unprecedented opportunity to stand next to the trucks and get a picture taken with them." In addition, the venue will allow for the show to be better, Matthews said. last couple years to move forward," he said. The ambiguity of no response is hard on the community, Antone said. He promised to try to get an answer as to whether the county is finished or needs to do more. Supervisor George Russell asked if the board would be asked to vote on the issue again anytime soon. "You'd think at some point we'd start moving a little bit," Russell said. The project was established after state agencies declared ground water systems in the Antelope area to be contaminated. The county was required to participate in studies to gauge costs to fix the problem. One Antelope area resident stood up to ask questions about the research methods behind the pro- ject. She was referred to the water resources board. The data is getting old, Antone said. "We have a concern with changed conditions with the river level going down," he said. Supervisor Dennis Garton agreed. With changes in agriculture alter- ing the nitrate levels in the ground and other changes, there are a num- ber of issues hat need to be re- addressed, Garton said. The board voted unanimously to accept the final report. "Now the ball is in their court," said Chairman Gregg Avilla.

"The venue's by far the best within 300 miles by nature of it being outdoors," Matthews said. "In an arena the trucks are limited to what trucks can do within that space. The Red Bluff arena has about three and a half times the amount of space of an arena." Those 12 and younger will receive a free monster truck toy at Friday's performance, thanks to sponsorship by Lassen Medical Group. Gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with the show start- ing at 8 p.m. Gates open at noon on Sunday with the show starting at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at several venues and are $2 less in advance, but will be available at the gate. Prices range from $16 for gen- eral admission to $25 for box seats, with children ages 3-12 $10 and those 2 and younger free.

OUTBREAK Continued from page 1A The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78 and that one in five who contract the disease can die. Dr. Robert Tauxe of the CDC says the number of ill- nesses and deaths will probably grow in coming weeks because the symptoms of listeria don't always show up right away. It can take four weeks or more for a person to fall ill after eating food contaminated with listeria. ''That long incubation period is a real problem,'' Tauxe said. ''People who ate a contaminated food two weeks ago or even a week ago could still be falling sick weeks later.'' CDC reported the 72 illnesses and deaths in 18 states. Cases of listeria were reported in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Okla- homa, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The most illnesses were reported in Colorado, which has seen 15 sickened. Fourteen illnesses were report- ed in Texas, 10 in New Mexico and eight in Oklahoma. The outbreak has been traced to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., which recalled the tainted cantaloupes earlier this month. The Food and Drug Administration said state health officials had found listeria in cantaloupes taken from gro- cery stores in the state and from a victim's home that were grown at Jensen Farms. Matching strains of the disease were found on equipment and cantaloupe samples at Jensen Farms' packing facility in Granada, Colo. THE PASSING PARADE A recent mention in the Daily News of the Red Bluff Art Association and the paintings of Mabel Gaumer, brought to mind her late husband Al. He was one of the most personable fellows you could ever meet. I don't know if it was the smile or the overall geniality, but he had all the assets to succeed in any business…and succeed he did. I first met him as a West Coast Life Insurance salesman and he told me that he sold his very first policy to my father. I remarked that would not have been an easy sell, and he laughed and replied something about the old adage of selling ice to an Eskimo. After many years at that profession he bought the Cone & Kimball building which housed Zuckweiler's Department Store at the time, and eventually opened a gem store near the entrance to Belle Mill Landing where it continues to this day as Gaumer's of Red Bluff and Gaumer's Mineral and Mining Museum. I was not surprised to learn that Mabel had met Al while he was considering the acting profession, for he was handsome with plenty of charisma. Although enmeshed as he was in his business activities, he apparently had something else up his sleeve which revealed itself when he dropped by my office many years ago. He began, "I know you have not been in the meat business for some years now, but I want to pick your brain about cattle and cattle rustling". I chuckled and replied that I had not rustled cattle for years and he continued, "Well, you see, I am writing a novel in which some butchering comes to pass…and I want to be certain I get it right. Here is the premise: A couple of cattle have been killed and butchered on a stretch of grazing land out west of town, and the Sheriff is looking for clues as to who did it. So, what I need to know is, if the culprits knew the slaughtering business, what clues might the Sheriff have found?" "Sticks", I replied. "Sticks? Just ordinary sticks?" "Yes, sticks about 18 to 24 inches long." "Why? What would they have been used for?" "To skin and butcher an animal of that size, they would have shot it, gutted it…and then rolled it onto its back to begin removing the hide…and to keep the critter on its back, they would have used these sticks to place one end on the ribs and the other on the ground on both sides to keep the carcass upright. That's what a real butcher would have done." "Yes, by golly, that's just the information I was looking for. What do I owe you?" "Just a copy of your book, Al," I replied, but I never heard anything more about it. I wonder if he became as successful in this endeavor as he was in all other aspects of his life Robert Minch The Passing Parade is brought to you by by Minch Property Management, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527 5514
