Several members of the audi- ence spoke during the public com- ment period of a need to take into consideration the salary of county employees. Red Bluff Mayor Pro Tem Gary Jones spoke wearing his hat as an employee in the Te- hama County Auditor's office, say- ing supervisors should consider the salary of the employees when talking about the inadequacy of their own compensation. In response to a comment that disclosing just the base salary left incorrect numbers, Supervisor Burt Bundy said the other items received in compensation above TEHAMA COUNTY Pu bl ic g iv es input on su pe rv is or compensation By Sally Ho The Associated Press LAS VEGAS Parts of the Western U.S. are getting an early taste of scorching summer heat, forcing officials in California, Oregon and desert Southwest states to heed the warnings of dangerous, tri- ple-digit temperatures in this first week of June. Organizers rescheduled Cal- ifornia's state track and field championship events to start in the evening hours Friday and Sat- urday. The competition is being held in Clovis in the San Joaquin Valley, where daily highs are ex- pected to top 100 degrees through the weekend, according to the Na- tional Weather Service. Precautions are also in place ahead of Portland's Rose Festi- val on Saturday in Oregon, when the mercury is expected to rise to 99 degrees in the city and 103 de- grees downstate in Medford. Marching bands have asked event officials if they can ditch some of the pomp and circum- stance by taking off their hats and changing their uniforms during judged performances to cope with WEATHER Officials heed wa rn in gs a s heat wave hits the West By Margaret Baum Daily News correspondent SACRAMENTO Judge Delbert Oros ruled Thursday afternoon that two minors who were pos- sible witnesses would not be al- lowed to testify in the Quentin Bealer murder trial. Bealer is charged with hom- icide in the strangling death of 14-year-old Marysa Nichols in 2013. Nichols' body was found half a mile behind Red Bluff High School Feb. 28, 2013, two days after she had disappeared. Thursday was spent with the witnesses being questioned by both the defense and prosecu- tion in a public hearing. The hearing, which was con- ducted outside the presence of the jury, took the majority of the day. The purpose of the hearing was to see whether there was enough evidentiary proof to al- low the witnesses to give testi- mony before the jury. Delbert ruled that there was not. The minors were called to tes- tify by the defense team. The trial will resume Monday at 9 a.m. in Department 27. It is expected that the remain- der of evidence in the case will be presented and closing argu- ments will likely occur Wednes- day of next week.

There to welcome the students was John Burch, superintendent of the Corning Union High School District, who expressed his joy for the graduating class of 2016. "It's because of the hard work of these students and because of the caring dedication of the staff at Centennial High School and the Independent Study Program that they are here today," Burch said. Zach McNamara, an honor roll student, spoke before his class and the friends and family mem- bers in the audience about the next steps he his classmates will be taking in life. McNamara quoted Michael Dell who said, "As you start your journey the first thing you should do is throw away the store-bought map and begin to draw your own." "Live your life as you want to live it." McNamara said before thanking his parents and his teachers. There were scholarships given to five students during the cer- emony. Delores May presented Ashley Paez a $500 scholarship and the Exchange Club Student Award. Kathy Hausman and California Highway Patrol Offi- cer Phillip Macintosh presented Elisha Morrow a $500 scholar- ship, including the Officer David F. Mobilio and the Police Activity League scholarship awards. There to present the Tehama County Association of Realtors Scholarship was Kam Lalaguna. Six scholarships awarded, one to a student from each high school in the county, Lalaguna said. Paez was the recipient this year from Centennial. Paez plans to move to Redding to attend Shasta College in the fall and pursue her dreams of being a nurse, she said. She wants to pro- vide a better life for her son and her family. Lastly, the Daniel and Wealthy Rodgers Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 was given to Michelle Villalobos, an Indepen- dent Study graduate. Villalobos plans to become an elementary school teacher after attending Butte College, Burch said. "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything," Morrow said as the crowd cheered.
