FUNDRAISER Luauraises money for various causes By Brian Melley The Associated Press LOSANGELES Evidence is mount- ing that the El Niño ocean-warm- ing phenomenon in the Pacific will spawn a rainy winter in Cal- ifornia, potentially easing the state's punishing drought but also bringing the risk of chaotic storms like those that battered the region in the late 1990s. In the clearest warning yet that Southern California could be due for a deluge, meteorologists said in a report last week that the al- ready strong El Niño has a 95 per- cent chance of lasting through the winter before weakening in the spring. "This is as close as you're going to get to a sure thing," said Bill Patzert, a climatologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, calling this El Niño "too big to fail." "In the abstract," he said, "El Niño seems like our savior." But if floods and mudslides develop, it's "not going to look like the great wet hope charging across the landscape on a white horse." A strong El Niño arrives about once every 20 years.

The department along with Mi- chelle Carlson, CEO of Future De- velopment Group and the theater made the event possible. Human Bean donated to the event. There were 11 films entered in the festival and presented to the audience. Films ranged from one- minute shorts to 10-minute films. A documentary by Greg Robin- son about Walt Disney and his love for trains and railroads was showcased. Another film, about the history of Ide Adobe, was by Robert Minch. All other films were by stu- dents from the area and outside the area. "The purpose of the event is to do several things," said Carlson. "It is to honor our local folks and film makers. It is to bring some- thing fresh and new into our county and to help bring people into the State Theatre. It is cre- ating film instead of consuming film." That was the case here with a group of young filmmakers hav- ing the opportunity to showcase their films and creativity. Lego movies were a big hit among the young filmmakers that participated in the festival.

HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter REDBLUFF The36thAnnualIde Adobe Day was held Saturday at the William B. Ide Adobe State Historic Park to celebrate the traditions of the pioneers from the 1850s. The theme this year was Rough and Tumble Times. The goal of the day has always been to bring the history of the 1850s to life, said Michelle Wei- gell, treasurer of the Ide Adobe Association. The festivities began at noon withvariousstationsofactivities available for all to try. Children went around the park learning how to make rope, thread quilts and make candles. A traditional dance called the Virginia Reel was preformed by the volunteers of the park. Music was performed by the Ide Adobe Players, using traditional instru- ments and playing songs of the period. Adobe brick making was a popular activity as the children jumped in the mud to make adobe style bricks for building. After the mud was mixed up the volunteers, dressed in the tradi- tion clothing of the 1850s, poured the mud into brick molds. A school was set up to teach the children penmanship and copper plating style writing of the time. "The children get to see what it would have been like to be at school back then," Weigell said.

Rough and Tumble Times sig- nifiedthehardworkthepark vol- unteersandassociationmembers have done to get the adobe home, which was damaged when a tree fell on it, rebuilt. The base of the tree still stands in the park's cen- ter as a monument. Weigell hopes that within the year the home can be rebuilt for visitors to the park to enjoy. She remembers a time when her fam- ily and her would perform in the home as a traditional family of the time period. She said it was a great addition to Ide Adobe Day to show what a family, doing ev- eryday things, in that time would look like. Thepark willbeholdingapro- gram for high school students from Salisbury High School be- ginning in January. Students will take a 40-hour training course, learning the ins and outs of the traditions of the 1850s, to teach fourth-graders from the area. "The program gives hands on experience in history," Weigell said. The high school students will dress, act and speak like the pi- oneers did back then, said State Park Interpreter Debbie Chaka- run. This is among the things they will teach the children. "Many of those students from Salisbury High School, who have graduated, have come back each year to participate in the activ- ities and events throughout the year," Chakarun said.
