Voting FROM PAGE 1 An email from the Sand- ers campaign said he would also make a stop in Modesto on Thursday, fol- lowed by Fairfield on Fri- day. The university spokes- man said he believed Se- cret Service officials have visited the campus, prepar- ing for a visit by the senator from Vermont. Further, lo- cal law enforcement agen- cies have been made aware of the rally discussions and are involved as well. Sanders is scheduled to make campaign stops in Palo Alto and Davis on Wednesday. Wills said Chico State has been open to discus- sions regarding politicians visiting the school. During the 2012 presi- dential election cycle, Chico State hosted Ron Paul for a campaign rally at the school. That event drew roughly 3,000 visitors, ac- cording to newspaper re- ports. Gov. Jerry Brown vis- ited Chico State in Octo- ber 2012 for a rally urg- ing a "yes" vote on Prop- osition 30. On Tuesday the California governor en- dorsed Democratic front- runner Hillary Clinton for president. The California presiden- tial primary election will be held June 7.

Across America in the late 1800s and early 1900s it wasan Americancustomfor each town to have a band to perform at public functions and put on concerts in the town square or park. More than 100 years later the Red Bluff Community Band is working hard to retain this American tradition but it is not easy, Thiel said. "The world is much faster and people do not have time to either participate in the band or even venture to the park to listen," Thiel said. "Music styles change, musi- cal instruments of the times change and people's tastes change to follow along with the changing times." TheRedBluffCommunity Band meets weekly all year long except for two weeks off for Christmas. The band is either performing or re- hearsing for a performance. In addition to the summer concert series, the band breaks up into small ensem- bles and plays and staffs Sal- vation Army bell kettles in front of local merchants on the first Monday in Decem- ber. The following two Mon- days the band performs for local rest homes and mobile home parks as well as at the Community and Senior Cen- ter for the annual Children's Christmas Festival. "Itismygoaltokeep'wind music' alive as long as it can be here in Red Bluff," Thiel said. "It is weird to live and watchthemusiconegrewup with slowly drift away into obscurity. I am attempting to slow that process down as much as possible." The public is encouraged to come out to enjoy the Summer Series of old fash- ioned bandconcerts in River Park,100MainSt.,alongside of the Sacramento River. "Folksareinvitedtobring a folding lawn chair or blan- ket and come down and re- lax and enjoy our park and music," Thiel said. "The sun is pretty much over the hill by concert time and gentle breezes off the river should make for an enjoyable eve- ningoflivemusic.Bringyour family and friends and come down, visit and talk to one another."

Court FROM PAGE 1 By Michael R. Blood and Lisa Lerer The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Hillary Clin- ton landed a coveted en- dorsement from California Gov. Jerry Brown Tuesday, patching up a strained re- lationship between the two Democrats as she seeks to deliver a final blow to Ber- nie Sanders' campaign. Clinton heads into Cal- ifornia and the other end- of-the-line primaries June 7 with the Democratic nom- ination virtually locked up — she needs just 71 dele- gates to reach the required threshold at the party's sum- mer convention in Philadel- phia. But Sanders is stag- ing boisterous rallies across the state and running TV ads in hopes of delivering an upset that he says would strengthen his claim to the nomination, despite the numbers. While Clinton's campaign has been looking to Califor- nia as the triumphant con- clusion to her primary run, her lead appears to have vanished in recent days. Polling last week showed a race that's nearly tied. Clinton is still expected to lock up the nomination before the polls close in the Golden State, but a loss in California would amount to a deeply symbolic wound in a state she carried in the 2008 presidential primary against then-Sen. Barack Obama. It would also en- courage Sanders to make good on his promise to re- main in the race until the party convention in July, hampering Clinton's ability to unify her party and send- ing her limping into the gen- eral election. While the state has a pro- nounced Democratic tilt, a Clinton defeat could also embolden Republicans who would love to see her have to defend ground in a state that hasn't sided with a Re- publican presidential candi- date since 1988. At this point, Clinton is eager to devote her time and money to the cam- paign against presumptive Republican nominee Don- ald Trump. But the unex- pectedly tough race in Cal- ifornia, and her determina- tion to win it, is highlighted in her upcoming schedule — starting Thursday, she's planning events for five con- secutive days. She's also run- ning a series of ads target- ing black, Latino and Asian- Americans in the state, spending cash she'd hoped to conserve for spots going after Trump. With Brown's blessing, Clinton has the support of virtually every major Dem- ocrat in California. In a written statement, the governor stopped just short of saying Sanders should step aside. Instead, he called Clinton's lead "in- surmountable," pointed out she had amassed about 3 million more votes than Sanders and argued it was urgent for Democrats to begin focusing solely on Trump. He said Clinton "has con- vincingly made the case that she knows how to get things done and has the te- nacity and skill to advance the Democratic agenda. "This is no time for Dem- ocrats to keep fighting each other," Brown wrote. "The general election has already begun." Brown and Clinton's hus- band, former President Bill Clinton, were bitter rivals in the 1992 presidential con- test. During the campaign, Brown at one point said Bill Clinton was becoming "the prince of sleaze." InoneDemocraticdebate, Brown accused Bill Clinton, the then-Arkansas governor, of funneling state business and money to his wife's law firm. The Clintons strongly denounced the accusations. And at the party's na- tional convention that year, Brown supporters chanting "Let Jerry speak" twice in- terrupted remarks by Hill- ary Clinton at a California delegation meeting. The governor's campaign had similarities to Sand- ers' outsider bid — a point made by Brown in his en- dorsement of Clinton. As a candidate in 1992 he railed against America's "cor- rupted" politics, a line that echoes in Sanders' daily as- saults on the intersection of big money and govern- ment. Brown called his out- sider bid "a cause ... a move- ment," another line often heard from Sanders in ref- erence to his campaign. Brown's late-coming en- dorsement has a practical side. Trump's attacks on the validity of climate change would undercut one of the pillars of Brown's agenda — global warming. POLITICS Cl in to n sc or es en dor se men t fr om G ov .

We munch hotdogs and hot dogs and gaze up at the enormous oak trees. How tall? Over a hundred feet I'd say. They house squirrels and raccoons and birds of a feather. It is a tranquil setting …an ideal place for meditation. While doing so, Dr. Bill Martin* is driving home from a San Francisco Giants baseball game. Poor fellow. He probably thinks he enjoyed himself. Of course, with the price of tickets and food he had better enjoy himself. He is very tight with his moola. But the good doctor is a sports buff, and buffs do things like driving 400 miles round trip to see last place teams… instead of staying at home, watching the game on the telly, or watching squirrels and things. Buffs take sports seriously. For instance the time Dr. Martin's tennis partner Jim Franseth felt sick during a match. They had just started a game when Jim clutched his side in pain. "What is it?" cried Jim. "Proba- bly appendicitis," replied the doc. "When can you operate?" asked Jim. "As soon as we finish this set" replied his consid- erate partner. I think that's the way it went. Anyway, sports enthusiasts' do get carried away with their games. *(Is it not strange how the invoking of Bill's name, now a few months past his recent demise, conjures up the fellow for us once again? In this sense we become immortal.) I did not experience such dedication to the sports because my early years in organized athletics were none too satisfac- tory Despite all my apprenticeship at the Kraft Playground on Rio Street, I was rather inept in the areas of coordination and strength. I recall a budding friendship with Ruth Wiliams in grammar school dissolving because she could chin herself and I could not. … I once drove an old white pickup that had so many nicks and scratches that it looked like the underbelly of a trout. However, I am now driving a new blue job we purchased in Corning. Bill Foley at Roy C. Ford made us an offer we could not refuse. We decided to buy in Corning because we sell a lot of meat there but seldom purchase anything in return. Corning is therefore suffering a trade deficit with Red Bluff. This is then an attempt at balance of payments. Even Bob Poore at Hankins Motors understands. I think. This new car is really too good for me and my friend Toby Tyler, the St. Bernard. As we get dirty together picking up apples in the orchard or hauling hay for the horses, Toby always had to ride in the back of the old pickup. However, leave a door open in the new pickup for a second, and he is ensconced in the front seat…and it is too much of a chore to drag him out.
