RED BLUFF What started as a business strategy to draw farmers and ranches into town to spend money has grown over the past 94 years into one of the biggest rodeo events in the nation — the Red Bluff Round-Up. The Round-Up was inducted into the Professional Rodeo Cow- boys Association's Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Col- orado on Aug. 8, becoming one of only 25 rodeos in the nation that are members of the Hall of Fame. The rodeo began in 1921, the brainchild of businessmen in town who were looking for a way to get farmers and ranchers to town. John Trede, first vice-president of the Round-Up, is the direct de- scendant of one of those mer- chants — Claus Trede, a German immigrant and restaurant owner PRCA Round-Up inducted into Pr o Ro de o Hall of Fame Staffreport REDBLUFF Red Bluff Union High School will be participating in a Book in Common reading project during the school year using Jea- nette Walls' memoir "The Glass Castle." The goal is that a Book in Com- mon will unite and engage stu- dents, parents, staff and the com- munity, as well as promote liter- acy, according to a release issued by the school's Parent Partner- ship Team, which organized the project. Walls tells the story of her as- tonishing and challenging child- hood. The memoir brings to at- tention issues of poverty and fam- ily dysfunction.

Multiple 911 calls were received with reports of two shots fired with what sounded like a .22 cal- iber in the area behind Northern Lights, according to Corning Po- lice logs. Officers from Corning Police and the Tehama County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene, where they found Elias So- lano, 49, of Corning had been shot in his upper left arm, Chief Don Atkins said. Solano was transported to St. Elizabeth Community Hospi- tal, where he as treated and re- leased for a non-life threatening injury. The wound was consistent with that made by a small caliber weapon such as a .22 caliber pis- tol, Atkins said. Solano said one of the two sus- pects, Christian Macedo, was known to him, but the other man was not. The two men, both wearing dark clothes, hoods, ban- dannas and sunglasses, entered the residence uninvited and de- manded money and drugs. Solano and a friend, Maria Her- nandez, 26, of Corning, were or- dered to kneel on the floor and told by the men they would be killed if they tried anything, At- kins said. Macedo stood guard, pointing a gun at them, while the other man checked the apartment for money and drugs. When nothing was found, So- lano and Hernandez were ordered to walk outside. Upon reaching the doorway, Solano told police he ran and was climbing a fence when four shots were fired at him, one of which hit his upper left arm, Atkins said. While the shots were being fired at Solano, Hernandez was able to run in a different direc- tion and escape unharmed, At- kins said. Macedo and the other man fled the area on foot, Solano told police. Officers attempted to locate the two suspects, but were unable to do so. Anyone with information is asked to call Corning Police at 824-7000. CORNING Policeseektwomeninshooting By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved extending the contract with Mike Shaffer of Shaffer Cabinets to continue the coun- ty's wood shop program with al- ternative custody workers and expansion of the program to add a welding component. The wood shop program, which started in January 2014 and with this extension will con- tinue through at least June 30, 2017, has been a great success, Chief Probation Officer Richard Muench said. There have been 53 partic- ipants, selected through the Sheriff's Office and Probation Department, who have taken part in the program through work release or community ser- vice, according to a report pre- sented in July to the community corrections partnership. There are nine active participants. There have been 31 who are no longer in the program, but 26 of those successfully completed the program, which is an 84 per- cent success rate. About half of those who completed the pro- gram received full-time employ- ment. Only five have been termi- nated from the program. "It's a program that's not only restorative justice, but restoring the individual," Muench said. "Being able to give them pride, that's huge. I have been in pro- bation about 40 years and I've seen more success in this pro- gram than anything else in my time in San Diego, Alameda and Tehama County. That's partly because of the community sup- port, but primarily because of the partners we have who sup- port the people and actually care. It's all about changing our community." One of the many projects the county wood shop has worked on is the concessions counter at the State Theatre.
