goestocharity." While there is a small amount of prize money for the winner, it is typi- cally donated back, Guti- errez said. The proceeds from the event, which in- cluded options for a tasting or dinner and a raffle, go to the California-Hawaii Elks' major project, which is crip- pled children, along with the National Elks Founda- tion, scholarships and the maintenance of the lodge building. "We supply the ribs and they cook and serve the din- ner," Gutierrez said. "We get locals, old regulars, new ones. It's a good cross sec- tion of cooks." The event drew nine dif- ferent teams even with three last minute cancella- tions, Gutierrez said. Barry LaVette, a past ex- alted ruler for the Red Bluff lodge, has been participat- ing for about five or six years, he said. "I love it," LaVette said. "It's a good competition, it's good for the community and goes to charity and it's just all for fun. This week I'm here and next week we're in Chico for their com- petition from noon to 4 p.m. on June 11." Team Strikeout, made up of Ken Reineman and Andy Newport, was participating for the first time. "It's a good commu- nity turnout that hopefully gains a bit more popularity with time and it's a good friendly competition," New- port said. The team was using a sauce Newport created in his junior and senior years of high school working on perfecting it all through college, he said. He actually didn't write it down until 2008 or 2009 and even then instead of amounts he has descriptions of light, me- dium and heavy for quan- tities. The team, whose name comes from the fact that Newport was a pitcher in college and Reineman's daughter plays softball, had other goodies to sample in- cluding homemade meat- balls made by Reineman's wife. Results from the compe- tition are as follows: Peoples Choice: First place A-Team, Quinn Men- donca, Scott Mize and George Conormon; second D-n-O, Owen Onopa and Dennis Hake; third Strike- Out BBQ, Ken Reineman and Andy Newport. Judged Winners: First place Strike-Out BBQ, Ken Reineman and Andy New- port; second Chico Elks Lodge #423 John Strattard, Norm Stump Jr. and Steve Laird; third A-Team, Quinn Mendonca, Scott Mize and George Conormon. The top four teams were separated by 1 point each between places. Honorable mention, tied for third, was D-n-O, Owen Onopa and Dennis Hake.

Red Bluff Elks Lodge Member Ken Reineman of Team Strikeout serves up meatballs made by his wife alongside the samplings of rib during the tasting portion of the 10th annual Red Bluff Elks Lodge Ribs on the River. nation — and sharpen her contrasts with presumptive Republican nominee Don- ald Trump. She sought to make progress on both, using her own loss in 2008 to con- nect with Sanders' backers. "It never feels good to put our heart into a cause or a candidate you believe in and come up short," she said. "I know that feeling well. But as we look ahead to the battle that awaits, let's remember all that unites us." She was biting and sarcastic as she took on Trump, accusing him of wanting to win "by stok- ing fear and rubbing salt in wounds — and remind- ing us daily just how great he is." Even as the Democratic race was ending, new tur- moil broke out among the Republicans. GOP leaders recoiled at Trump's com- ments about a Hispanic judge, with one senator even pulling his endorse- ment. Trump capped his dif- ficult day with victories in California, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Montana. But he was muted his victory rally, say- ing he understands "the re- sponsibility" of leading the Republican Party. He also made a direct appeal to de- jected Sanders supporters and other Democrats. "This election isn't about Republican or Democrat, it's about who runs this country: the special inter- ests or the people," he said. Trump promised a major speech next week on Clin- ton and her husband, for- mer President Bill Clinton. Clinton's win in New Jer- sey came a day after she se- cured the 2,383 delegates she needed to become first female presumptive nom- inee of a major political party, according to an As- sociated Press tally. Her to- tal includes pledged dele- gates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as super- delegates — the party of- ficials and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing. President Barack Obama called both Clinton and Sanders late Tuesday. The White House said Obama congratulated Clinton for "securing the delegates necessary to clinch the Democratic nomination for president" and praised her "historic campaign," though he did not formally endorse her. The White House said Obama and Sanders will meet at the White House on Thursday, at the Ver- mont senator's request Clinton and Sanders were both pressing for vic- tory in California, each ea- ger to effectively end their primary battle on a high note. Sanders picked up a win in North Dakota, where a handful of delegates were up for grabs. Sanders hoped a vic- tory would help in his so- far-unsuccessful bid to get Clinton superdelegates to switch their support. Asked on NBC whether he was continuing that effort, he said, "We are. We're on the phone right now." Clinton and Sanders are also expected to connect in the coming days, Clin- ton's spokesman said late Tuesday. The candidates' campaign managers spoke earlier in the day, signal- ing that conversations were underway about the road ahead. Republicans had ap- peared unified after Trump vanquished his last oppo- nents about a month ago. But the real estate mogul has continued to make con- troversial statements, frus- trating party leaders. The latest cause for GOP concern was his insistence thatajudgehandlingalegal case involving the business- man was being unfair in his rulings.TrumphassaidU.S. District Judge Gonzalo Cu- riel can't be impartial be- cause the jurist's parents were born in Mexico and Trumpwantstobuildawall along the border. Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, who is locked in a close re- election fight, became the first lawmaker to pull his endorsement of Trump. House Speaker Paul Ryan said the businessman's as- sertion was the "textbook definition of a racist com- ment" but he would con- tinue to support Trump. Trump released a state- ment saying he does "not feel one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial." But he still ques- tioned whether he was re- ceiving fair treatment in the case involving the now- defunct Trump University. Sanders' achievements have been remarkable for a candidate who was un- known to most Americans before the campaign. He has drawn massive crowds to rallies around the coun- try and built a fundraising juggernaut based largely on small donations online. The Vermont senator has been particularly popular with young voters, an important piece of the Democratic co- alition. Still, Clinton's victory has been broadly decisive. She leads Sanders by more than 3 million cast votes. After her win in New Jer- sey, Clinton had 2,469 dele- gates to Sanders' 1,637. That countincludesbothpledged delegates and superdele- gates.

Election FROM PAGE 1 JOSEPHPAULGOLONKA January 3, 1927 ~ June 2, 2016 Joseph Paul Golonka, age 89,passed away June 2, 2016 surrounded by family at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Red Bluff. Born Jan. 3, 1927 to John and Emily (Furnival) Golonka in Filmore, Ca., he was the second of four children. In the late 1930's the family relocated to the small com- munity of Vina, in Tehama County where they farmed and ranched. Joseph enlisted in the Navy in 1945 and was assigned to the Asiatic Pacific America Theatre, serving on the USS Paricutin and the USS Mender. He participated in Opera- tion Crossroads at Bikini Atoll. Extremely proud of his military service, he shared many memories and stories through the years. Until his final days he always showed support, respect and gratitude for those serving in the military. Upon discharge from the Navy, Joe returned to farming and ranching in Tehama County until becoming a Califor- nia Highway Department Employee in 1954. In July of 1952, Joe married the love of his life, Elaine Kerstiens at Sacred Heart Church in Red Bluff. The cou- ple had four children, all born in Red Bluff. Job opportunities and advancement took the family through several California counties: Tehama, Shasta, Riv- erside, San Diego, Alameda, Fresno, and Lassen. Always an active member of the community, his enthu- siasm was apparent in the many places he lived with years of involvement in PTA, school board, Boy Scouts, Knights of Columbus, Moose Lodge, American Legion, Wool Growers Association and various other volunteer organizations. Typically with a "can do" attitude, he was often the "go to man". Due to health reasons, Joe retired from Cal Trans after 25 years and returned to what was always considered home…Tehama County. Following cardiac surgery and rehabilitation he was able to resume his passion of farm- ing and ranching as a "hobby". Being out in the fields, herding his sheep brought many hours of happiness and time for reflection. Joseph was preceded in death by his parents, his broth- er, John and sister, Mary Maristella. Also going home to the Lord before him was his wife of 61 years, Elaine, daughter, Jennine Allwardt, grandson, Jeremy Golonka and great grandson, Louden Miranda. He is survived by his son, David (Teresa) Golonka, daughters, Annie (Mike) Calista, Mari Jo (Craig) Ellis, son- in-law, Jim Allwardt and his sister, Sister Mary Philomene RSM. His legacy also lives on through his grandchildren, Jene, Megan, Charlie, Josh, Amy, Ashley, Ryan, Cassy, Justin, Matthew, Kristi , April, 16 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. A rosary will be recited Wed June 8th at 7 PM at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Memorial Mass will be held Thursday June 9th at 10 AM at Sacred Heart with intern- ment to follow at St. Mary's Cemetery.

It is another if he is a 225 pound St. Bernard. The problem is that he activates the seat buckle buzzer…and it won't shut off until a) dog is removed, or b) dog is buckled up. Easier said than done. Finally settled for a buckling belt under him…but next time he rides in the back of the pickup like any other pet…sainthood to the contrary. … I asked our daughters "What is necessary for complete happi- ness?" Madalyn, quick as a flash cried, "A full head of hair!" Very clever child…and though putting me on with a standing family joke, her reply deserves a moment's thought. We are a hair oriented society. Youths first adapted long hair as a counter culture statement, and now everybody is getting into the act. We have become a nation of peacocks with daring variations of the basic Afghan hound trim. Does Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz wear his hair long to swim faster? I think not. Archie Bunker may be a balding hero on TV, but not a romantic leading man type. Yul Brynner really only makes it as the King of Siam where a skin head was fashionable. All rock stars must have hair in reverse quantity to their musical talent. Mother's (mine) have been known to ur ge their sons to "look into those hair transplants like Hugh Down's". Even my late father tried a hairpiece until people confused him with Uncle Stanley. Some men are hairy in different areas of the anatomy. Maybe as long as one has vegetation growing in someplace, one will succeed. Jim Hoffman became Mayor with precious little hair on top…yet when he shaves, he arbitrarily stops somewhere around his collarbone. If distracted from this daily chore, he might shave for hours. Sour grapes you might say? Not at all. Us hairless types feel we are a little higher up the evolutionary scale than our unfortunate hairy brethren. The pursuit of more hair then becomes merely monkey business. The hirsute should have a banana and enjoy the current fad while it last. Unlikely as it seems, there could come a time when the shaved head will prevail. … *On the back of my column dated 1 September, 1972 appeared an AP story reading, "A U.N. committee has decided that Puerto Rico has a right to independence from the United States." A present day Google reads, "Despite the Puerto Rican government juridical status with the United States as an unincorporated territory, at the United Nations the General Assembly had been adopting resolu- tions and decisions "reaffirming that because of its culture, history, traditions and especially its people's unswerving will, Puerto Rico would continue to be a Latin American and Caribbean nation, with its own national identity." It appears nothing has changed in the intervening 45 years. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
