DEATHNOTICES As the deputies contin- ued their approach they both observed Corona Jr. bent over his father, alleg- edly "making a sawing or slashing motion" to his fa- ther's neck area, Cohen said. "At that time the deputy who had removed his fire- arm, and who now had a clear view of the entire sit- uation, saw that Angel Co- rona Jr. had the victim's head pulled back with one hand, exposing his neck area," Cohen said, adding that the deputy also ob- served that Corona Jr. was holding a "shiny object" with his other hand. Cohen said the deputy has stated that he ordered Corona Jr. to stop the at- tack, adding that the other deputy has stated that he heard his partner say "something to the effect of, 'Drop the knife.'" Corona Jr. allegedly ig- nored the commands and continued to cut at his fa- ther's face and neck area, Cohen said. "At this time two shots were fired at Corona Jr. by one Tehama County Sher- iff's Office deputy," Cohen said. "Corona Jr. immedi- ately died. He fell to the ground at the place where he was shot." A knife was found near Corona Jr.'s body. Cohen did not say where Corona Jr. was struck by gunshots. He did say that two bullets were recovered from his body during an autopsy conducted Tues- day. Theinvestigation Cohen said that the in- vestigation into the inci- dent has included witness accounts, law enforcement statements, video footage and preliminary autopsy results. He said that investiga- tors learned that Corona Jr. allegedly attacked his father with a hammer at a grassy area of the trailer park prior to the deputies' arrival. Cohen added that both Corona Sr. and his wife each stated that they be- lieved that their son in- tended to kill Corona Sr. Friday evening, and that Corona Sr.'s wife also was admitted to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with injuries she said were caused by Corona Jr. Both Corona Sr. and his wife reside at the trailer park where the incident oc- curred, but Cohen said Co- rona Jr. was not believed to be living with his parents. He said all witnesses to the attack stated that they observed Corona Jr. "either stabbing, sawing or slicing the victim's face or neck." Cohen said investigators learned a resident at the trailer park recorded video footage of events that took place prior to the deputies' arrival, upon their arrival and after their arrival. "A review of this foot- age very much substanti- ates the investigation to date," Cohen said, adding that there are no plans to release the video footage. "The Tehama County District Attorney's Office finds no criminal wrongdo- ing on the part of any of the personnel employed by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office," Cohen said. "The law allows for a police of- ficer to utilize deadly force in defense of not only him- self, but of another, when an attacker is using deadly force upon another person." Cohen did not elaborate on any potential motive for Corona Jr.'s alleged attack on his father. Shooting FROM PAGE 1 I thought, why the heck am I working so hard for $800 a week, when I can make $1,000 a weekend? So I jumped ship. I love rodeo," he says, "but the one thing I love more than that is mak- ing money. And luckily for rodeo fans, Rumford became a full-time rodeo clown. This is his first time working the Red Bluff Round-Up, and he's excited. "West Coast fans, they have more fun," he said. "For people around Texas and Oklahoma, they go to so many rodeos, it's not that big of a deal. But on the coast, they're there to have some fun." The 35-year-old cowboy has won the PRCA's Clown of the Year award for three consecutive years, 2012 through 2014, and he is humbled by it. "It doesn't get old," he said. But it provides him in- centive, too. "It makes me work harder. I sure don't want to let people down. I don't want anybody to say, that guy was a three- time award winner, and it seems like he doesn't try too hard." Justin and his wife Ash- ley, Miss Rodeo Oklahoma 2005, are the parents of triplets, born in Septem- ber of 2013. Daughters Livi and Lola and son Bandy travel with their parents to most of Justin's rodeos in their 44-foot travel trailer, and they're already part of the show. At Rodeo Aus- tin in Texas, Justin carried Bandy in a baby backpack during the mutton bustin', and Bandy hammed it up. "Every time a kid fell off a sheep, he said, 'Uh, oh,' and everybody cheered." Justin will entertain during every performance of the Red Bluff Round- Up. Tickets are available at the Round-Up office in Red Bluff, and at the gate.

The city could possi- bly recover about $10,803 of that amount, or 75 per- cent. "That amount is a bit a moving target, and it may be down significantly from that number," Brewer said, adding that city staff is working with state offi- cials to identify qualifying expenses. Categories of qualify- ing expenses, according to city staff, include debris removal, emergency pro- tective measures, roads and bridges, water con- trol, buildings and equip- ment, utilities, parks, rec- reational and other costs. The City Council also unanimously adopted a resolution that authorizes city staff to seek disaster assistance from the state for events that could oc- cur in the next three years. The December rain- storms flooded about 100 homes and businesses in the county. Areas along State Route 99E between Red Bluff and Los Molinos, SR 36 and near Corning experi- enced considerable flood- ing. The Tehama County Board of Supervisors ear- lier this month also autho- rized county staff to seek assistance under the Cali- fornia Disaster Assistance Act program. Relief FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thank you! By Terence Chea The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO They hop. They crawl. They squirm. And they could be coming to a dinner plate near you. An increasing number of "entopreneurs" are launch- ing businesses to feed a growing appetite for crick- ets, mealworms and other edible insects. These upstarts are try- ing to persuade more Amer- icans to eat bugs, which can be produced with less land, food and water than other sources of animal protein. The United Nations has been promoting edible in- sects as a way to improve nutrition, reduce green- house-gas emissions and create jobs in insect pro- duction. At least 2 billion people worldwide already eat insects as part of their diet, according to the 2013 report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. But it could be a tough sell for Westerners who are more likely to squash bugs than savor them. "Insects are viewed as what ruins food — a roach in your soup, a fly in your salad. That's the biggest obstacle — the ick factor," said Daniella Martin, the "Girl Meets Bug" blogger and author of "Edible: An Adventure into the World of Eating Insects and the Last Great Hope to Save the Planet." Inside San Francisco's La Cocina, a commercial kitchen for food entrepre- neurs, Monica Martinez empties hundreds of live mealworms, each about 2 inches long, into a plastic container. She uses chop- sticks to pull out dead ones before pouring the squirm- ing critters on a tray and sliding them into an oven. Martinez started Don Bugito PreHispanic Snacke- ria to entice American con- sumers with treats inspired by popular snacks in her native Mexico. Among her specialties are spicy super- worms and chocolate-cov- ered, salted crickets. "The idea is to offer an- other type of protein into the food market," said Mar- tinez, an artist and indus- trial designer who launched Don Bugito as a street food project in 2011. "The biggest job that we have to do is to try to get more people to try our foods." Don Bugito snacks are sold online or at a La Co- cina kiosk in San Francis- co's Ferry Building, where retail workers recently of- fered free samples of choc- olate-covered crickets and spicy superworms. "No!" said a young boy when asked to try one. But more adventurous eaters gave them a try. "It doesn't really taste like a bug. It tastes like crunchy spices," said Les- lie Foreman, who works at a medical technology firm, after sampling a chili-lime cricket. "I'm not sure this is going to be my everyday snack, but I think it's fun and I think it's cool." Across San Francisco Bay inside at a kitchen in Berke- ley, Megan Miller and her assistants shape clumps of orange-ginger cookie dough, carefully arrange them up on a tray and slip them in an oven. The key in- gredient: flour made from ground-up crickets. Miller's startup, Bitty Foods, sells its cricket- based cookies and baked goods online and at upscale grocery stores. Many of its customers are moms look- ing for a healthy snack for their kids. "We like to say our cook- ies have twice the protein and half the sugar of a reg- ular cookie," said Miller, a former journalist and tech entrepreneur. Miller said insects have a "branding problem," so she's trying to change peo- ple's minds and palates by mixing them into familiar foods in attractive packag- ing. "We're going to see peo- ple start trying insects in a powdered form — incorpo- rated into foods so they're invisible — before people are going to make the leap to eating whole insects," Miller said. Big Cricket Farms, one of only a handful of North American companies pro- ducing crickets for human consumption, is strug- gling to meet fast-grow- ing demand for the chirp- ing insects, said CEO Kevin Bachhuber, who launched the warehouse farm in Youngstown, Ohio, last year after getting his first taste of bugs in Thailand. Bachhuber's startup cur- rently produces about 8,000 pounds of crickets a month. He hopes to increase ca- pacity to 25,000 pounds per month, but still doesn't think that will be enough to meet demand from res- taurants and health food makers. " We're constantly slammed by orders. We simply can't keep up," said Bachhuber, a Wisconsin na- tive who's had a long inter- est in urban farming. "The speed at which people have been willing to eat bugs is crazy. It's cool." Oakland-based Tiny Farms is trying to address supply crunch by devel- oping more efficient ways to mass-produce crickets and other bugs. It eventu- ally wants to create a large network of insect farms to supply food makers such as Don Bugito and Bitty Foods. "The goal is basically to make it easier and cheaper to produce industrial-scale volumes of insects that can be used in food products," said Daniel Imrie-Situnay- ake, a software engineer turned entopreneur. EATING BUGS 'Entopreneurs' feed appetite for edible insects Upstarts are trying to persuade more Americans to eat bugs BEN MARGOT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Genevieve Gladson Rainville turns over meal worms as they bake in an oven Wednesday in San Francisco. By Don Thompson and Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A federal judge in California declined Wednesday to remove mar- ijuana from the list of most dangerous drugs, disap- pointing activists who saw the case as a chance to get closer to their goal of nation- wide legalization. U.S. District Judge Kim- berly Mueller said during a brief court hearing that she was initially prepared to rule that marijuana should not be a Schedule 1 drug but then decided it was up to Congress to change the law if it wishes. "It has been 45 years since Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act," Mueller said, noting "the landscape has changed" since then. However, the judge pointed out that courts are not designed to act as a maker of public policy and explained that she had made her decision based on the facts of the marijuana grow- ing case that sparked the le- gal challenge. "This is not the court and this is not the time" to over- turn federal law, she said. The ruling came after more than 20 states legal- ized medical marijuana use, and voters in four — Colo- rado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska — allowed rec- reational pot use. An effort is underway to legalize rec- reational marijuana in Cali- fornia as well. A decision by Mueller to reject marijuana's classifi- cation would have applied narrowly to the case she is hearing and likely would have been appealed. Still, it would have set a precedent for other criminal prosecu- tions and added to the grow- ing push to change federal drug law, experts and advo- cates said. The classification of pot as one of the most dangerous drugs has pitted federal au- thorities against states that have legalized medical mar- ijuana and prompted raids on growers and dispensaries that appear to be operating legally under state law. A ruling against marijua- na's classification "would have been significant be- cause you would have had a federal judge acknowl- edging what a majority of the public has already con- cluded: That marijuana does not meet the three criteria of a Schedule 1 drug," said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Armentano, who helped the defense, said he has al- ways believed the issue would have to be decided by a federal appellate court. He expects the case being heard by Mueller to be appealed. Legal experts said Muel- ler's decision to hold a fact- finding hearing last year that included expert tes- timony marked the first time in decades that a fed- eral district court judge se- riously considered marijua- na's classification on con- stitutional grounds. Judges have generally accepted the classification and the federal ban on its use, growth and distribution. Alex Kreit, a drug law ex- pert at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, called the hearing a "sign that at least some judges are increasingly skeptical of marijuana's status un- der federal law" and said it would influence marijuana policy despite the outcome. The ruling came in a case alleging that marijuana was being grown in a remote area of Northern California.
