Grads FROM PAGE 1 and every year they bring a friend and the show gets bigger." Organizers were very pleased with the turnout and the weather, Odor said. "The key thing is every penny goes to charity so our member really get out and give it their all," Odor said. Proceeds from the car show go to two Chico- based charities, the Jesus Center and The Esplanade House, the later of which serves Butte County and Tehama County families get back on their feet, he said. He is grateful for the ability to work with Rolling Hills who has been a great partner, Odor said. "Rolling Hills Casino has been absolutely won- derful to work with," Odor said. "They have bent over backwards and make ev- erything possible." The ribs side of the event, organized by Roll- ing Hills Casino, benefits the Handi-Riders Thera- peutic Horseback Riding Center in Chico, which works with kids with dis- abilities, said Rolling Hills Casino Marketing Director Scott Chandler. While the two events were originally separate, they both moved dates to hold them on the same day, he said. "The American Corvette Club is just an awesome group," Chandler said. "They pay for their own expenses so 100 percent of what they raise goes to charity. They're one of the most well organized group of volunteers." There were 12 teams competing Saturday with about 4,000 pounds of meat donated by the casino for the cook off, Chandler said. Normally, the compe- tition draws about seven or eight teams. "We have teams from Redding to Reno," Rolling Hills Casino Executive Chef Hobart Vogel said. "Each team is cooking about 225 pounds of pork. In the first two hours, we are down to 600 pounds of meat left." Teams compete for the first place prize of $1,200 with second place getting $700 and third place re- ceiving $300. There's also a people's choice voted on by tick- ets placed in a bucket at each booth. Turnout of the community was also good as there were 1,200 tickets available and about two to three hundred were left by 1 p.m., Chandler said. Corning Volunteer Fire Department's barbecue team was serving up ribs with a raspberry chipo- tle sauce created by Carl Crain. He has been work- ing on the recipe since the first year of the com- petition, trying different fruits each year. Last year, he tried raspberry and or- ange chipotle and another year he tried blackberry chipotle. The team has been com- peting every year since, said Chief Martin Span- naus. They have won a competition amongst the local firemen and came close in 2015, he said. While Crain made the sauce, Rob- ert Snow made the rub for the meat and Jeff Nelson cooked them. Gerber resident Sherry Drake said she loves the car show portion of the event and has been coming off and on since the beginning. "My friend Walt and my husband Tom restore cars so it's interesting to see what people do," Drake said. "I love the old cars and seeing them driven and appreciated." Red Bluff resident Bar- bara Secor said she liked seeing it bigger than in years past. She enjoys checking out the paint jobs while her husband's more into the engines, she said. "It's a good turnout and the quality of cars is just spectacular," Secor said." Results of the car show are as follows: Best of Show Trailered went to Tim Kar- rigan's black 1940 Ford Coupe; Best of Show Mod- ified to Jim Collins' yel- low 1940 Ford Pickup and Best of Show Stock to Don- ald Comer's 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

"It's a great facility and we use it for a number of things includ- ing the Pumpkinhead Bike Ride in October and the Al- mond Blossom Ball in Feb- ruary." Just as the fair is a fun- draiser for the library, the ball is a fundraiser for the arts program and the bike ride is a fundraiser for the outdoor recreation oppor- tunities so that each of those categories has an in- come source. This allows the school to provide high quality programs without worrying about where in the budget it is going to come from. While the fundraiser part is important, it's just as important to the school that the events are fam- ily friendly and low-cost, which is why there was free admission and $2 ham- burgers or hot dogs with all other food being $1, he said. It's also a good oppor- tunity, with school just get- ting out, to give parents a chance to hear about sum- mer programs. The school is offering the Spartan Shakespeare Society.

The juror explained that another juror had said there was no way someone could be fronted a large quantity of drugs by the cartel. Juror number 7 said he told that juror that he dis- agreed. He said he told the other juror that he knew how that process worked and that people could get fronted drugs. According to juror num- ber 7, he apologized for be- ing direct during the discus- sion. Oros said that during jury selection one of the ques- tions he asked possible ju- rors was if a family mem- ber had ever been arrested for drugs. Juror number 7 said he didn't reference his cousin because he doesn't see him very often and he didn't cross his mind. Juror number 3, the fore- man of the jury, said Juror number 7 talked about drug dealing and drug cartels as if he was an expert. "Idon'tthinkitpersuaded anybody," the jury foreman told Oros. According to Oros, this type of opinion only be- comes a problem when a ju- ror is talking as if they are an expert and try to con- vince the other members of the jury. The jury foreman said that Juror number 7 had stated that law enforcement has a quota to fill. "He was acting like an expert," he said. "It is possi- ble he could have convinced someone." He also said that when the jurors went on to talk about a different subject Juror number 7 mentioned that law enforcement needs to meet a quota to solve cases. Following the interviews, both the prosecution and the defense plead their cases with Oros. Deputy District Attorney Donna Daly said it seemed as though juror number 7 had a bias but didn't want to admit to the bias. "The people have a con- cern that by engaging in the process we have en- gaged in and delaying the proceedings it will cause the jurors to rethink what happened in the 90 min- utes they did deliberate," Daly told Oros. Bealer's attorney, Shon Northam said he thought the jury foreman had a good handle on the jury. "I think it is premature to make a decision to re- move a juror this early in the deliberation process," Northam told Oros. He noted that Ju- ror number 7 realized he "came out of the gate kind of strong" and apologized. He also said it didn't seem as though the jury foreman thought other jurors were swayed by the statement. Oros said he was con- cerned about what, if any, impact the statements had. "This is made a little more difficult since we only have 90 minutes of history to look at," Oros said. "We need to see to what extent there is a middle ground or if the only option is dis- missing or keeping the ju- ror." Oros said he was not ready to make a ruling re- garding the situation Mon- day. "I am paid to be right, not to be fast," Oros told the jury before sending them home for the day. "This is a very, very critical issue for both sides and I am going to try and give you the best deci- sion I can." Following the close of the court session, Northam confirmed there were likely three options. He said ei- ther the juror would be re- placed with an alternate juror, the jury would re- ceive an admonition from the judge and go back to deliberating or the jury would continue where it left off deliberating. "This case is the crazi- est in my 16 years of doing this," Northam said prior to leaving the courtroom. Oros ordered the pros- ecution and the defense back at 9 a.m. Tuesday and the jury back at 10 a.m. Trial FROM PAGE 1 PHOTOS BY JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Judges Bill Keen and David Nunley of the Americana Corvette Club look at a 1956Ford F-100pickup owned by David Grabtree of Anderson Saturday at the Ribs and Rods event held Saturday at Rolling Hills Casino.
