"The district and Lisa Escobar did come to a settlement," District Superintendent Todd Brose said. "The settlement is for release and waiver of all claims against the district and the district will pay Lisa Escobar $42,500." The claims included a fair em- ployment and fair housing claim as well as a public records act re- quest, Brose said. "From the district standpoint, this is closure on the whole inci- dent and we are happy to be done and move on," Brose said. RED BLUFF HIGH District, Estcobar reach a settlement Staff report RED BLUFF A 28-year-old Red Bluff man is wanted by Red Bluff Police as a suspect in an assault with a deadly weapon against his friends reported at 3:23 a.m. Thursday in the 1100 block of Franzel Road. Officers responded to a robbery at an apartment in which the vic- tims, Mark and Laura Graham, both 23, of Red Bluff identified Don Natho, a Red Bluff transient, as the suspect, Sgt. Mike Graham said in a press release. The vic- tims had minor injuries. Natho allegedly entered the front door of the apartment as Mark and Laura Graham were sitting in the living room and showed the two a pistol in his waist band before pushing them into the kitchen, the release said. Natho then reportedly asked Mark Graham for money and punched him in the face before striking him in the face with the hand gun after Graham said he did not have any money. When Laura Graham tried to intervene by telling Natho to stop hitting Mark Graham, Natho slapped her in the face twice, the release said. CRIME Man wanted in assault with a deadly weapon Staff report RED BLUFF The suspect in a July shooting of a teen at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam turned himself in Wednesday after be- ing on the run for slightly more than a month. Anthony Nahinu, 18, of Red Bluff turned himself in to Te- hama County Sheriff's detectives and was taken into custody on an attempted murder warrant, said Sgt. Mark Levindofske, in a news release issued Thursday morning by the sheriff's office. Sheriff's deputies were dis- patched July 19 to Sale Lane near the entrance to the Diver- sion Dam in response to a dis- turbance in the area, according to the release. "Through the investigation (detectives) have learned the shooting stemmed from a disturbance between several individuals at the entrance to the Di- version Dam and during the distur- bance, the victim was shot," the re- lease said. A 15-year-old girl sustained gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital, where she was in critical condition imme- diately following the incident. "I'm told she's been re- leased from the hospital for some time," said Lt. Yvette Borden. "Doing well and be- ing home with her family." Bail for Nahinu was set at $1.55 million. DIVERSION DAM SHOOTING Suspectsurrenderstopolice Manontherunformorethanamonthnowincustody By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING Northside Park held this year's city-sponsored Water Festival on Wednesday to kick off the annual Olive Festival. The Water Festival has been a part of the Olive Festival, which continues tonight with a parade and bed races down- town, for many years. "They have water games for all ages and they give out goodie bags and prizes for the winners of the contests," said Valanne Cardenas, Corning Chamber of Commerce man- ager. "There is a greased wa- termelon challenge at the end and I think it is a fun time for everyone." The contests are for both smaller children in a shallower pool and the older children in the big pool. The contests in- cluded who can make the small- est splash, biggest splash and the best and biggest canon ball. The event also had a money toss where the children dove down and retrieved as much money as they could. The festival has kept the tra- dition of tossing watermelons in the pool for participants to grab to take home. "Half of the kids are just ex- cited and surprised they can float," said Nate Borer, the pool manager and student physical education teacher for Corning High School. Sometime after the pool opened in the 1950s a person who frequented the pool and was a lap swimmer had a fa- ther who grew watermelons. He would come to the festival and throw one in the water, Borer said. Ever since then it has be- come a tradition. "It's definitely a fun kick off event for the Olive Festival," said Cheyenne Boles, Miss Corning. "It's a fun end of sum- mer event."
