HEATHERHOELSCHER—DAILYNEWS Joel Reinhard of Red Bluff brings his vintage camera to the 37th Annual Ide Adobe Day Saturday to teach visitors how a camera operated in the 1930s. ByHeatherHoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The37thAnnualIde Adobe Day celebration, hosted by a the Ide Adobe Interpretive As- sociation and the California State Parks, brought traditional pioneer history to life Saturday at the Wil- liam B. Ide Adobe Historical Park. Ide Adobe Day is a day full of traditional 1850s clothing and ac- tivities that shows what the pio- neers did in their daily lives. Par- ticipants of the day learn the his- tory through 1850s time-period entertainment like puppet shows and preparing food items such as making cream, butter and bread and showing the traditional jobs of that time, including woodwork- ing, blacksmith work and build- ing houses with made-from- scratch Adobe bricks. Visitors learned how to make candles, sew quilts and do laun- dry like pioneers did in the 1850s. This year more than 270 people participated in the event. A vintage camera was featured that uses glass plates and displays pictures upside down, presented by Joel Reinhard. He said Ide Adobe Day was a wonderful event and was excited to show partici- pants what an old camera does and how it works. Verna Stephans, of Cotton- wood, has been coming to Ide Adobe Day since it began in 1979. She has done all the activities and enjoys the history and peaceful- ness of the event. Stephans now said she enjoys watching her grandchildren make the corn husk dolls and candles and enjoy all the things she has since she's been coming here. The theme this year was See- ing the Elephant, referring to the common phrase used to reflect early immigrants' anticipation of seeing something new and excit- ing on their westward journey, said Ide Adobe Interpreter Jen- nifer Pooley. The phrase says a lot about the pioneer years with the strug- gles that people endured during that time, said Michelle Weigell, of the Ide Adobe Interpretive As- sociation. "This is a good theme this year for us because of the pro- cess of getting the Adobe house repaired," Weigell said. "The asso- ciation is actively working on get- ting the house rebuilt so all can re-enjoy that feature of the park." IDE ADOBE Annualcelebrationbrings pioneer history to life By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Tehama County res- idents gathered Saturday at the Red Bluff River Park to celebrate the 14th Annual Recovery Hap- pens day to support those in re- covery from drug and alcohol ad- dictions and mental health issues, held during National Recovery Month, which is September.

At each Recovery Happens celebration the number of years each person in recovery who participate in the event are added up. The total this year was 364 years of sobriety. RECOVERY HAPPENS Residents celebrate overcoming addiction By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF City Councilman Suren Patel, who was arrested in Florida on July 23 on theft and fraud charges, was present at his first court appearance in Tehama County Tuesday, which resulted in the matter being pushed to later in the day due to the request for Patel tosurrenderhispassporttothejail, as he is believed to be a flight risk. Charges filed against Patel in- clude four counts of theft of pub- lic funds in connection with Tran- sient Occupancy Tax not being fully paid, one count of insur- ance fraud, two counts of welfare fraud, grand theft, perjury and embezzlement by a public officer. The charges state that Patel, who formerly managed Amer- ica's Best Value Inn on South Main Street, declared April 2015 monthly Transient Occupancy Tax owed to the city was $800 when in fact the amount owed to the city was $1,923.17. RED BLUFF Councilman appears in court, seeks bail reduction By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A study session was held Sept. 13 on whether or not there was a need for a policy re- garding succession for the Tehama CountyBoardofSupervisorschair- man and vice chairman positions. No ordinance was crafted as there was no consensus or ma- jority reached to be able to give staff direction, said Chairman Bob Williams. The matter came under dis- cussion following a request at the Aug. 30 meeting to put it on the agenda, as there were mem- bers of the public who objected to how the 2016 nominations went. The board voted to make Supervi- sor Dennis Garton vice chairman. Several residents brought up ob- jections at the next board meet- ing stating the second district had been slighted, since they had un- derstood Candy Carlson, who rep- resents district two, was next in line for vice chairwoman. Red Bluff resident June Coo- per, one of those who asked for the item be placed on the agenda, said there should be a rule regard- ing how the positions are passed. Tom Mohler of Red Bluff said there had been a misstep at the last rotation that was "more or less a stab in the back." Both he and John Ward of Red Bluff said the only exception should be if a person is sick. If a supervisor felt they weren't qualified or ready they did have the option to not take the posi- tion, Ward said. Corning resident Dean Cofer said it was time to stop talking about what had happened and move forward. There should be some leeway in decisions of who is chairman and vice chairman for illness and other reasons. Williams said the position re- quires a lot of extra time and com- mitment and he did not want to see the decision taken away from the board's discretion. Anyone serving as vice chairman had to be able to be ready to take the position of chairman if needed, whether for a week's absence or if the chairman was unable to fin- ish the rest of the term. Supervisor Burt Bundy said sometimes specific items coming up during the year, such as the general plan, where it would be beneficial for a certain supervisor, because of the experience they bring to the table, to be chairman. While it is fine to have a tradition for how things are done, circum- stances can change. TEHAMA COUNTY Supesdiscusschairmansuccession Community.....A3 Opinion............A6 Sports..............
