ByJuliePaceand Steve Peoples TheAssociatedPress CLEVELAND A combative Don- ald Trump, the billionaire busi- nessman-turned-presidential candidate, jolted the first Re- publican debate of the 2016 cam- paign by warning he might run as an independent if denied the GOP nomination. His startling declaration left his onstage ri- vals scrambling to compete for attention the rest of the night. Asked in the debate's opening minutes whether he could rule out a third-party run, Trump declared Thursday night, "I will not make the pledge at this time." He also refused to apol- ogize for making crude com- ments about women, defended his changing policy positions and tangled with the debate moderators. W h i l e T r u m p w a s characteristically bombastic, most of the contenders standing alongside him clamored for their piece of the spotlight without engaging him directly. They quarreled over immigration, terrorism and gay marriage, each casting himself as the strongest to take on Democratic front- runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. They also assailed President Barack Obama and his nuclear deal with Iran. The closest former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a favorite of the party's moderate, establishment wing, came to tangling with Trump was a gentle critique of the businessman's over-the-top rhetoric. "Mr. Trump's language is di- visive," Bush said. "We're not go- ing to win by doing what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do every day — dividing the coun- try." 2016 CAMPAIGN Trumpjolts first debate; rivals scramble for attention ANDREWHARNIK—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump looks toward Jeb Bush, right, as Scott Walker watches during the first Republican presidential debate at the Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday in Cleveland. By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The man accused of deleting two of the Tehama County Superior Court's hard drives on July 3 was not pres- ent for a hearing at the court- house Thursday, but his attor- ney, Stewart Altemus, requested a change of venue to proceed with these matters in Shasta County. Visiting Judge Raymond J. Giordano set the hearing to ad- dress the change of venue for Mark Montalvo for 3:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31. The court website and email accounts are still inactive after Montalvo, the former IT director for the court, allegedly logged into the administrator account and deleted two hard drives. The hard drives contained all of the court's computer and telephone system infrastructure. Earlier in June, the court was made aware of suspicious activity within the computer systems. After investigating the issue with the AT&T's Security Incident Response and Forensic Practice, Montalvo was asked to give the court those passwords. According to the press release from July 23, Montalvo was asked to provide the administrative passwords for the computers and telephone systems in the court, but failed to do so. As of June 26 he is no longer a court employee. "This affirmative action rendered the court's case management system, telephones, email service, jury summons system and website non-operational," according to the press release. "Ever since that date, the court has been working diligently with experts to restore services." The court has since filed liti- gation against Montalvo and will obtain a temporary retaining or- der against him to immediately return these crucial passwords and intellectual properties. The telephones and the case management system are opera- tional, as of July 23. COURTS Change of venue requested in trial FormerITDirectorfor the Tehama Courthouse accused of deleting data By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Skies were full of haze throughout Thursday prompting the Tehama County Air Pollution Control District to issue an air advisory announc- ing the county had reached an unhealthy air quality range. A majority of Thursday saw the county sitting at unhealthy conditions for all groups and a caution that everyone should limit outdoor exposure. "Conditions will most likely vary from unhealthy to moder- ate over short periods of time as smoke from the wildland fires in the North State drift over Tehama County," said Te- hama County Air Pollution Con- trol Officer Kristin Hall-Stein. "Scientific studies have linked fine particulate matter such as smoke with significant health problems, including premature death, respiratory related hos- pital admissions, aggravated asthma, acute bronchitis, de- creased lung function and work and school absences." Active children and adults, but most especially those with respiratory diseases such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exertion and intensely physical activity in areas with high smoke levels visibly evi- dent, she said.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Tehama County will soon have a new place to buy fresh bread and grab fresh made items for lunch, according to the owners of From The Hearth Bak- ery and Cafe, which will be coming to downtown. The building, which for- merly house Countryside Cafe at 638 Washington St., is being remodeled and is expected to open Oct. 1, said co-owner John Dix. "We are very excited to be opening up a cafe in Red Bluff," Dix said. "Although we have two cafes already in Redding, we believe that our Red Bluff location will be our flag ship store. It is much bigger than our other two cafes and in a much better location. Although we are originally from Red- ding we hope that Red Bluff will consider us their neigh- borhood cafe and bakery. Our concepts are consid- ered fast casual, which for us means fresh, home made food made almost as quick as fast food locations with a similar price." In addition to the two ca- fes, the business has a drive- thru bakery and coffee shop in Redding. While this is the first location for the Red- ding-based business out- side Redding, it is not the first time its products have been available to Red Bluff, Dix said. The bakery was started in 2003 by a retired electri- cian who had a love for sour- dough and sold in 2009 to Spencer Tang. "Spencer has six daugh- ters and thought that it would make a good family business," Dix said. "In 2010, Spencer and I partnered to start our first small cafe. It was an overnight success and three years later we were able to open a second location in Redding on the opposite side of town." For the last five years, the business has sold its breads in Red Bluff at the farmers market and in Raley's and Grocery Outlet, Dix said. "Red Bluff has always seemed to really appreciate our products and vendors and customers have been telling us for some time they thought we should open in Red Bluff," Dix said. "The idea has always been in- triguing, but running a res- taurant is hard work and it seemed intimidating to manage from Redding. In March, Liz Kremer, whose husband own's a chiroprac- tor office in Red Bluff, ap- proached us about opening a cafe in her building, which housed the former Country- side Cafe. Liz is very person- able and convinced us quite quickly that Red Bluff would be a great fit for one of our cafes." The Red Bluff location will have between 10 and 15 employees and will be look- ing to hire staff locally, Dix said.
