TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO A man took a pie from a grocery bag, grabbed Sacramento Mayor Kevin John- son from behind and smacked him in the face with the creamy dessert at a charity event, wit- nesses say, leading the former NBA star to start swinging and then tackle the man who was left with stitches and facing assault charges. Social justice advocates are concerned Johnson overreacted, sending the pie wielder and lo- cal activist, Sean Thompson, 32, to the hospital with bruises and cuts to his eye before he went to jail. The mayor was greeting peo- ple eating at a charity din- ner Wednesday night at Sacra- mento Charter High School when Thompson pulled Johnson back and shoved the pie in his face, said Johnson's chief of staff, Crys- tal Strait. ASSAULT CHARGES Witnesses: Sacramento Mayor Johnson tackled man By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The city has ap- pointed Robin Kampmann, of Northstar Engineering, to be the interim Public Works Direc- tor after former director, Bruce Henz, retired at the end of Au- gust. City staff is in the process of looking for a full-time Public Works Director. The city has retained a re- cruiting firm to assist in a thor- ough search for a permanent Pub- lic Works Director, said Richard Crabtree, city manager. The process is estimated to take about four months and will be conducted by Bob Mur- ray & Associates, which will do all needed advertising for the po- sition, as well as initial screen- ing to determine qualified candi- dates, according to the agenda re- port. The firm will assist the city during the interview and evalua- tion process. RED BLUFF Ci ty a pp oi nt s interim Public Works director By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING Hilaria Marmolejo's parents reported her missing Sept. 12 to the Tehama County Sheriff's Office. Marmolejo, also known by the name Duran, 24, of Corning was last seen on Aug. 23 between 1 and 2 a.m. at her residence, ac- cording to the press release is- sued Thursday by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office. Marmolejo lived with her boy- friend and two small children, the release said. She reportedly left her two children alone at her home on the evening she went missing. As of Thursday, neither her parents nor her boyfriend had any idea of the whereabouts of Marmolejo. She reportedly told her boyfriend that she was leav- ing him for another man, but this information has not con- firmed, the release said. It appears the only item of per- sonal property that Marmolejo took with her was her Califor- nia Driver's License, according to the release. There is no vehi- cle associated with her. The sheriff's office is asking for help in locat- ing Marmolejo. If anyone has seen her or has i n f o r m a t i o n of her where- abouts, call Det. Chad Parker at (530)529-7920. CORNING Womanreportedmissing By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Nearly every sixth grade student in Tehama County descended on the Tehama Dis- trict Fairground Thursday for what could be the last Education Day held for fair, with 702 stu- dents in attendance along with numerous teachers, parents and community volunteers. At an assembly prior to the start of the event, Lorna Manuel and Jill Lyford of the Tehama County Department of Educa- tion made a scientific presenta- tion on Newton's Law, that an object in motion will stay in mo- tion until a force stops it, and the force that makes carnival rides work. "Education Day at fair is a great example of our community coming together to support our students," said Superintendent of Schools Rich DuVarney. "We are fortunate to have a strong educational, professional and community group working to- gether on a variety of events." The event was put on through a collaboration of organizations, including the Tehama County Department of Education, the Tehama Education Foundation and the fair. Red Bluff High School student leadership and various community volunteers lead students from one station to the next with 24 presenters total. Presenters included Tyler Christensen on tree crops, Ju- lie Kelley on forestry, Kevin Colburn with CalFire, Melissa Stegall of the Junior Livestock Auction, Maureen Clements at Maker Space and Tammie Ryan with Super Science. Other pre- senters included Pat Heitkam with honeybees, Katie Bian- chi with walnuts, Katie Har- ris of Mt. Lassen Trout Farms, Trena Kimler with Shasta Col- lege Livestock, Tehama County Beef Ambassadors, Kevin Greer with Helping Tehama Grow and Jeanne Tomascheski with for- estry. Brin Greer led GPS hide and seek while Syerra Eickmeyer talked about Makerspace and David Ferreira talked about poultry. Mary Jacobson, Josie Rucklos and Jacob Daricek led stations on health, fitness and nutrition. Tanner Lee ran Puz- zlemania, where students could look at and solve various puzzles while competing for goofiest pic- ture taken with local California Highway Patrol officers. JD Platt ran the K-9 kings Flying Dog Show while James Miller oversaw the carnival sta- tion. Regina Byrd and Danielle Hansen talked about Dairy. While this is the last year the Education Day will be held with fair because it will move to July in 2017, it is hopefully not the last Education Day, said com- mittee member Kari Dodd. "We're still working on a po- tential date for the new educa- tion day so we don't lose that educational component," Dodd said. "It's one of the few times a year for some of these students to get out to the fairgrounds and it's also important to get them out and see what we have in Te- hama County."
