StaffReport REDBLUFF A local man was walking his dog early Friday morning when he walked into traf- fic, sustaining fatal injuries near Dairyville. A pedestrian, 71-year-old Joe Martin of Red Bluff, was walking in a traffic lane on State Route 99E just north of Electric Avenue at 5:16 a.m, according to a press release issued by the California Highway Patrol Friday morning. At around 5:28 a.m. Martin walked across the southbound traffic lane into the direct path of a vehicle traveling northbound, driven by Keli Taylor, 29, of Red Bluff. A patrol unit arrived on scene at 5:30 a.m. administering life saving measures to attempt to revive Martin, the release said. Additional medical personnel arrived to con- tinue efforts but were unable to revive Martin, who was pronounced at the scene due to his in- juries sustained from the collision, according to the release. No information was released in regards to the dog that was with the victim. COLLISION Man killed in99E fatality By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A Red Bluff elementary school was briefly on lock down Friday afternoon after Red Bluff Police advised school officials of a situa- tion involving a man with a knife nearby. "We did call Bidwell (Elementary School) and advise them to lock down due to a situation," Police Chief Kyle Sanders said. "The lock down was lifted about five minutes later." Officers responded to the area of Walnut Street where they encountered a man who was acting erratically and waiving a knife around while walking in the street, Sanders said. As officers came upon the man, he was ap- proaching the vicinity of the school and even- tually ended up being directly in front of the school, Sanders said. "We thought it was good to call for the lock down as a precautionary measure," Sanders said. The man was taken into custody. Nothing further was available. A medical call went out over the radio about 1:30 p.m. in the area of Bidwell School on Wal- nut Street. That call was for a man who had been pepper sprayed by an officer, Sanders said, but it was not clear whether the two incidents were related.

PAGE A9 FEDERAL CASES Terror-related arrests fuel refugee debate By Juliet Williams The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed $122.6 bil- lion California budget plan would seem to please Dem- ocratic interests by pumping billions of tax dollars gener- ated by the booming state economy into public schools and universities, health care for the poor and public in- frastructure. Instead, Democratic leg- islative leaders and advo- cacy groups saw what was left out. "A laundry list of critical needs" remains, said Assem- bly Speaker Toni Atkins, D- San Diego. For state lawmakers from both parties and the groups that lobby them, the general fund spending the Demo- cratic governor outlined Thursday is merely a start- ing point in a months-long tug-of-war over funding. Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, was upset the plan did not increase maximum payouts to families in the welfare-to-work program, which she called "impossi- bly tiny." Chris Hoene, executive di- rector of the California Bud- get & Policy Center, which advocates for low-income families, said Brown's bud- get is a "missed opportunity to use the state's strong rev- enues to boost key public in- vestments that help individ- uals and families advance, such as child care and pre- school, welfare-to-work ser- vices, affordable housing, and higher education."

By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdaily- news.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians and the Rolling Hills Ca- sino Foundation pledged $100,000 Wednesday to the Rodgers Theatre recon- struction project, helping with repairs and upgrades to bring the Corning land- mark back to life. The renovations and upgrades will include ex- pansion of the stage area, stage lighting, the audito- rium walls, loge sections, sound system and the re- constructed lobby and con- cession area, according to the press release issued by the foundation Thursday. The electrical and sprin- kler systems also are in the plans for the reconstruc- tion of the theater. The donation will not provide all the funding the Corning Community Foundation needs to com- plete the transformation of the theater but it will help complete a large portion of the projects that are left, said Tony Cardenas, board member. The remaining proj- ects are estimated to cost $189,000. With the dona- tion, the community foun- dation has about $89,000 more to raise.
