TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO TheCaliforniaAs- sembly has approved a bill that would ban concealed weapons from schools and universities throughout the state. Lawmakers on Tuesday ad- vanced SB 707 by Democratic Sen. Lois Wolk of Davis on a partisan 42-23 vote. The bill removes an exemption that currently allows people with concealed weap- ons permits to carry firearms on school grounds. Supporters say law enforce- ment officials would still be al- lowed to protect campuses. It is backed by police agencies and gun control advocates. GOP lawmakers who opposed the bill said removing the ex- emption would limit the number of people who can respond to a school shooting. SACRAMENTO Billbanning concealed weapons at schools OK'd Staff Report RED BLUFF A 31-year-old man was arrested after the Tehama County Sheriffs' Deputies found him in a van reportedly stolen out of Portland, Oregon, near Wilcox Golf Course early Tuesday. Brian Cottrill was booked into Tehama County Jail on felony charges of vehicle theft and ob- struction to law enforcement. Deputies were dispatched to the scene when someone reported a suspicious vehicle near the golf course. Cottrill, 31, was found sit- tinginthevanintheroadwaynear the course, according to a news release issued Tuesday by the Te- hama County Sheriff's Office. Deputies and Red Bluff Police officers contacted Cottrill, who was sitting in the dark-colored van in the middle of the road. He became very hostile and began yelling at law enforcement, ac- cording to the release. Cottrill ran at the deputies and officers at the scene. A police K-9 and a TASER were used to halt Cottrill's assault on the officers, according to the release. Bail was set at $18,000. CRIME Stolen van found in Red Bluff By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the final draft of an or- dinance regulating wind and so- lar energy systems in the unincor- porated areas of the county. The ordinance was approved by the Planning Commission and open to public comment for 60 days, including a public hearing that was re-opened at Tuesday's meeting prior to the 4-0 vote. Su- pervisor Steve Chamblin was ab- sent. The ordinance was five to six years in the making and, aside from a comment received by George Robson, there were no other public comments, Planning Director Sean Moore said. In an email to Moore, Rob- son listed his concerns that wind power generators were restricted from parcels less than 10 acres, the required 1,000-foot setback actually limited the generators to parcels 92 acres and larger and that towers were not to cast a shadow onto off-site structures. Robson also questioned whether or not the wind not blowing would be reason for the county to declare a windmill abandoned. A part of the ordi- nance reads that a wind energy system not in use for six months consecutively could be consid- ered abandoned and the plan- ning director could require a se- curity during the permit process that would pay for the system to be removed should it be aban- doned. Resident Tom Moller disagreed that there had been no further public comment and said he had given Moore at least three articles regarding the subject. There was no specific plan for large wind mill operations.

The band, which is made up of members of the Red Bluff Community Band, has been performing a number each week for the Summer Concert Series held June through Au- gust at the park, but this is the first time they will perform an entire concert, which is some- thing community band direc- tor and swing band member Jay Thiel is proud of, he said. "When I started having the swing band play, I was quite desperate," Thiel said. "They had only had a handful of re- hearsals but I was closer than I had ever been to possibly get- ting one off from the ground. I knew they would be "rough and ragged" but hoped that they would improve as they went along. We do have a lot of room for improvement but the audience seemed to enjoy them a whole lot, which is, of course, good." This is not the first time the group has tried to get a swing band going, but the most suc- cessful effort thus far. Mon- day's concert is the only one planned at this time, but the group does plan to continue to meet and practice in anticipa- tion of the next year's summer concert season, he said. "When the college starts up ,the band really begins to thin out as many of the players take classes or teach," Thiel said. "Our last two weeks were in- teresting in seeing how thin it would get. This is a problem thatalsoaffectstheswingband. The concert band traditionally playsyeararoundtakingofftwo weeks at Christmas and Labor Day. The rest of the time they are working in preparation for the summer season. Knowing that the schools are out for La- bor Day, I'm trying to take ad- vantage of the opportunity by having this last program."
