The sample uniform was brought to the school by Rich- ard Kirk, of DeMoulin, the com- pany from which the uniforms have been ordered. In all, there will be 100 new uniforms that will be primarily black with a green and gold sec- tion at the top. Two new drum major uniforms will primarily be green and white, Band Direc- tor Gabe Sakuma said. While the old uniforms were wool, the new ones will be a polyester and wool blend, he said.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS Olympic torch heading to Red Bluff By Fenit Nirappil and Scott Smith The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Drought-stricken California on Friday ordered the largest cuts on record to farmers holding some of the state's stron- gest water rights. State water officials told more than a hundred senior rights holders in California's Sacra- mento, San Joaquin and delta watersheds to stop pumping from those waterways. The move by the State Water Resources Control Board marked the first time that the state has forced large numbers of holders of senior-water rights to curtail use. Those rights holders include wa- ter districts that serve thousands of farmers and others. The move shows California is sparing fewer and fewer users in the push to cut back on water us- ing during the state's four-year drought. "We are now at the point where demand in our system is outstrip- ping supply for even the most se- nior water rights holders," Caren Trgovcich, chief deputy director of the water board. The order applies to farmers and others whose rights to wa- ter were staked more than a cen- tury ago. Many farmers holding those senior-water rights contend the state has no authority to or- der cuts.

RICH PEDRONCELLI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Photo Club began as a gathering of like-minded en- thusiasts who wanted to ap- preciate photographs and eat snacks. Recently, the club cel- ebrated its 10th anniversary here in similar fashion. At a potluck-style gathering held at Studio 530 Photography & Custom Framing on Tuesday, founding member Tony Maxey said it's been gratifying to see that with just some encourage- ment and feedback, talented community members who have come through the club have been recognized at contests and fairs over the years. "I think the biggest thing that I learned was that while Red Bluff may seem like a small cow- boy town in Northern Califor- nia, there is a wealth of artistic talent here in a lot of the arts, and photography is certainly no exception," Maxey said. In a snapshot, the club was organized in 2005 with nine members whose mission has been to accept photogra- phers of any skill and facili- tate growth, according to the group's meetup.com page. Since then, the club, which now meets on the second Tues- day of each month at the Red Bluff Community Center, has welcomed more than 100 pho- tographers to its mailing list, held workshops and started the Images from a Glass Eye Inter- national Photography Contest. "We went from the small group to the point where we couldn't (meet) at our houses anymore within six months," Maxey said. "It turned out there were a lot of people in Tehama County that were photographers or wanted to learn photography." While the club has Tehama County in its name, its member- ship reaches across county lines. "We've got people from Red- ding, we have people from Chico, from Red Bluff," said Maxey, who was attracted to photography at an early age. "When I was 8 years old, my mother gave me a camera that is now an antique ... a Brownie Hawkeye box camera," he said. "It used 620 film, and she gave me some black and white and also some color film for it, showed me how to load the film and how to use it and I went out and took pictures. I just loved it." Maxey said that while he can't find his favorite place to shoot — the ocean and sea- shore — within the borders of Tehama County he finds this county's agriculture environ- ment "fascinating." "The fields, the fences, the livestock, the hills, the skies and the lighting that you have at the different times of day — there's some beautiful images that can be made from that," he said, add- ing that "there's so much you can do right in your own backyard." Photography, he said, is not so much about traveling and shooting pretty scenes. "It's seeing things differ- ently," Maxey said. To those who feel they have an eye for photography but may not know where to start, Maxey said advanced technology has made jumping in easier. "You really can't go wrong if you buy an inexpensive Canon or Nikon" point-and-shoot cam- era, and start with that, he said. "It's a lot less about the lenses and about all the controls and all that stuff, and more about just taking pictures and what you see," Maxey said, adding that the club has members who can offer advice about photog- raphy hardware and disci- plines. The Tehama County Photo Club meets at 6 p.m. on the sec- ond Tuesday of each month at the Red Bluff Community Cen- ter, 1500 S. Jackson St. The next meeting is scheduled on July 14.
