ATTEMPTED MURDER Teen defendant pleads not guilty Staff report CORNING A fight broke out just after 2 a.m. Sunday out- side of High 5 Roadhouse on State Route 99 West near South Street leaving a man with a stab wound and another man injured from being stuck by a car. Corning Police officers ar- rived on the scene to find a man lying on the curb, according to a press release issued late Mon- day night by the department. Witnesses said the man was in- tentionally struck by a tan col- ored sedan. Several men were involved in a physical fight in the mid- dle of the roadway, according to the release. Some men re- portedly used baseball bats to break the sedan's windows. That is when the man driving in the sedan sped off, striking the other man. The release did not name ei- ther man or give any descrip- tion. The man was transported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico with unknown injuries. The sedan was later found in Orland, where officers found the driver of the vehicle had sustained a stab wound during the fight. The investigation is still on going. CORNING Menstabbed,hitbycarduringfight By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF The Tehama County Farm Bureau's Farm Day cele- brated its 20th year on Tuesday with 587 fourth-graders attend- ing the event at the Tehama Dis- trict Fairground. "This is the kick-off to farm week festivities, which run through the Nov. 2 Farm-City night," Farm Bureau manager Kari Dodd said. "It's also a great way to introduce students to ag- riculture and where their food comes from." Farm Bureau Agricultural Education Committee Chair- woman Shelley Macdonald wel- comed the crowd to the grounds and asked that students listen and share what they learned with their family. "Thank you to the present- ers who have taken time out of their day to be here," Macdon- ald said. "The No. 1 rule today is to have fun." The fun was to continue af- ter students return to the class- room thanks to the California Milk Advisory Board, which do- nated enough cheese for each class to take back to their class- room so that they could enjoy it while talking about what they learned, Macdonald said. Participants saw nine differ- ent stations of presentations manned by 17 presenters. The event is a collaboration amongst many groups including Golden State Farm Credit and the Red Bluff Kiwanis, which provided lunch for presenters, Dodd said. Among the presenters there were five groups that included a youth presenter to help students connecttothespeakers,Doddsaid. "Students can relate more easily to a youth presenter," Dodd said. "For example, we have TC Drury, who is in sev- enth grade, talking about goats. He's a lot closer to their age. At the same time, he gets to gain leadership and public speaking skills as well as something for his 4-H record book."
