Last week the area really took visi- tors back in time.

David ''Joey'' Pedersen and his girlfriend, Holly Grigsby, waived their right to an extradition hearing during a brief court appear- ance Tuesday in Yuba County, north of Sacra- mento, where they were arrested last week. The pair, who have expressed white supremacist beliefs, are suspected of killing his father, David ''Red'' Peder- sen, 56, and his wife Leslie, 69, about Sept. 26 in Everett, Wash., and, later, two other people, including a 19-year-old man they believed was Jewish. The pair were charged Monday in the Pedersens' deaths with aggravated first-degree murder in Sno- homish County, Wash. Aggravated first-degree murder is punishable in Washington state only by execution or life in prison without release. Prosecu- tors have not determined whether to pursue the death penalty. According to a prosecu- tor's affidavit in support of those charges, authorities have recovered bloody clothing, a knife and stolen credit cards that they believe the couple dumped in an Oregon trash can while on the run. Grigsby told police she and her boyfriend were heading to Sacramento, Calif., to ''kill more Jews'' when they were arrested See SPREE, page 7A 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 Red Bluff Outdoor Power Daily News photo by Andrea Wagner The third of four stops in the North State Skate Series took place at the Diamond Skate Park in Red Bluff Saturday. about the value and importance of the beaver felt and its use in making hats.
