Two presentations were made at the Red Bluff City Council meet- ing Tuesday. The council heard from Planning Director Scot Timboe and Bonnie Low of the Cali- fornia Product Steward- ship Council. Timboe's presentation was on the Planning Department. The depart- ment is responsible for the planning and growth of the city. Timboe, the only staff in the department, is working on several pro- jects including a water irrigation and landscape ordinance, assessing greenhouse gases and cre- ating a base line of emis- sion and medical marijua- na regulation. Similar to other depart- ments, issues facing the planning department include responsive code enforcement rather than being proactive about sit- uations before they devel- op into a problem. • Low's presentation focused on diverting cer- tain products from the landfill. Despite Low's presentation, a resolution supporting extended pro- ducer responsibility failed in a 2-3 vote. The resolu- tion would have backed up the stewardship coun- cil's quest for legislation to make product produc- ers responsible for prod- ucts at the end of their useful life. • Alexander Jacobs was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Jacobs is a junior at Red Bluff Union High School where he is involved in student gov- ernment and several other clubs. Being on the com- mission would give him an insight into the inter- working of the city as he is considering a career in civil service, he said. By TANG LOR DN Staff Writer For being one of the few Tehama County schools in session this week Corning High School students got a treat Thursday when the La Catrina Quartet performed during a school assembly. Students were enthusi- astic about the musicians being there and asked ques- tions ranging from how the group formed to who inspires the performers. The quartet is most known for its trend of clas- sical repertoire infused with Mexican and Latin- American art music. Though the assembly was a different venue from what the quartet is accus- tomed to playing, viola player Jorge Martinez-Rios enjoyed having a younger audience and a less formal setting, he said. The infor- mal concert satisfied part of the quartet's goal to intro- duce people to classical music, which usually gets pushed aside because it is not mainstream.

Alfalfa $ 10. 00 bale RB man arrested in Redding shooting By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer REDDING — A paroled Red Bluff man shot a Weed resident in a Wendy's parking lot Saturday in what he says was an act of self-defense. Joseph Victor Davis, 26, told police he was beaten with a flashlight around 7 a.m. on Saturday, and fired at his attackers, according to a press release from the Redding Police Department. An investigation by the department revealed Brady Kristopher Gentry, 23, Weed, was at the Wendy's parking lot at the same time and under- went treatment at Mercy Med- ical Center for two gunshot wounds. His condition has since been upgraded to fair. Marcelo Patrick Banuelos, 28, Redding, admitted to accompanying Gentry and attacking Davis with a flash- light on Saturday, according to the release. It is believed Banuelos attacked Davis because a female associate of Davis stole Banuelos' cell phone, Investigator Shawn McGinnis said. Banuelos has since been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, mayhem, battery with great bodily injury and a parole vio- lation. He was booked at the Shasta County Jail, bail with- held. On Wednesday, a team of investigators from the RPD, the Red Bluff Police Department, the California Department of Cor- rections and Reha- bilitation Special Services Unit picked up Davis on suspicion of violat- ing parole, after which he confessed to the shooting, according to the release. Authorities also arrested two of Davis' associates, Shawn Timothy Oleary, 23, Weed, for violating parole, and Jason Dalton Singleton, 37, Red- ding, on several unrelated warrants. All three were booked into the Shasta County Jail. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@red bluffdailynews.com.

First quarter By JULIE ZEEB Staff writer The first of two shows held annually by the Northern Counties Quarter Horse Association started Thursday and continues through Sunday in the Pauline Davis Pavil- ion at the Tehama District Fair- ground. The second show is scheduled for May 13-16 with an average attendance of 300-400 at each of the shows, said NCQHA President Dale Tingle. The club, which has been around since the early 1960s, is one of the oldest quarter horse clubs in Cali- fornia, said Rosie West, secretary. Anyone owning a quarter horse can show in the event, but only NCQHA members can accumulate points toward a year-end award banquet held in December, West said. The association travels to a show in Eugene, Ore. in April, she said. "It's not mandatory to go," West said. "It's just a place to get extra points. Just like our show is approved for the Nevada Quarter Horse Association." and Halter, Western Pleasure and English events are scheduled today and Sunday and cattle and reigning events for Saturday, with all events starting at 7 a.m. Daily News photo by Julie Zeeb Cindy Cleland of Chico boxes a cow on her horse Docs Smokinic, nicknamed Nick, Thursday as a part of the Green Working Cowhorse competition at the Northern Counties Quarter Horse Show, an American Quarter Horse Association sanctioned event at the Tehama District Fairground. Performance to benefit Alternatives to Violence Special to the DN A cast of Tehama County women will present Eve Ensler's award-winning play The Vagina Monologues at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday at the State Theatre, 333 Oak St., in Red Bluff. The performance is a benefit for Alternatives to Vio- lence, the Tehama County agency that helps men and women who are experiencing domestic violence in their lives. The performances mark the second year for the play, part of a 12-year- old global aware- ness campaign called V-Day that hopes to end vio- lence against women and girls. Since 1998, V- Day events have raised more than $60 million for local beneficiaries working to end violence against women and girls. The 2009 perfor- mance raised more than $4,000 for Alternatives to Violence and drew an audience of about 400 people. "We're hoping for even more people this year because we're adding a matinee performance," said Danna Swanenberg, director. "Our cast offers an act of love and support for the many women and girls who are victims of domestic abuse in our own county, and an educational experience in representing the worldwide violence against girls and women through the mono- logues in the play, words that are taken right out of their mouths and interpreted on stage." In addition to Swanenberg, crew members include assistant director Tina Zastrow, who is in the cast, stage assistant Melody Stewart and technical assistant Rachel Steele. Cast members include Jessica Rabalais, Beth Maxey, Debra Stewart, Melissa Mendonca, Talia Shir- Corning students get classical class If you go...
