ByJuliePaceandJillColvin TheAssociatedPress HEMPSTEAD,N.Y. Inacombativeopeningdebate, Hillary Clinton emphatically denounced Donald Trump Monday night for keeping his personal tax returns and business dealings secret from voters and peddling a "racist lie" about Presi- dent Barack Obama. Businessman Trump repeat- edly cast Clinton as a "typical politician" as he sought to capitalize on Americans' frustration with Washington. Locked in an exceedingly close White House race, the presidential rivals tangled for 90-min- utes over their vastly different visions for the na- tion's future. Clinton called for lowering taxes for the middle class, while Trump focused more on renegotiating trade deals that he said have caused companies to move jobs out of the U.S. The Republican backed the controversial "stop- and-frisk policing" tactic as a way to bring down crime, while the Democrat said the policy was un- constitutional and ineffective. The debate was confrontational from the start, with Trump frequently trying to interrupt Clin- ton and speaking over her answers. Clinton was more measured and restrained, but also needled the sometimes-thin-skinned Trump over his busi- ness record and wealth. "There's something he's hiding," she declared, scoffing at his repeated contentions that he won't release his tax returns because he is being au- dited. Tax experts have said an audit is no bar to making his records public. She said one reason he has refused is that he may well have paid noth- ing in federal taxes. He interrupted to say, "That PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Clinton, Trump battle fiercely By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff High School Spartans are celebrating Homecoming 2016 all week long with activities scheduled Thursday, Friday and Saturday to show school spirit and bring in the new school year.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF Seats filled up quickly Saturday morning for the an- nual Tehama District Fair Junior Livestock Auction, where long- time auctioneer Matt Wolter wel- comed the crowd along with Auc- tion Committee President Mike Collins. "Thank you for sharing your weekend with us," Wolter said. "We appreciate your efforts to support this program." Red Bluff Round-Up General Manager James Miller said he was there to support local youth. Mike Dudley, of Dudley Ex- cavating, purchased the Grand Champion Market Lamb brought by Haley Byrd of El Camino 4-H for $32 a pound. Cindy Brown, a branch man- ager for Rabobank, said she has been attending the sale as a buyer for several years. "Every year there's usually someone I know and whatever is left over after purchases goes to- ward add-ons," Brown said. "It's a fabulous sale and it's a good expe- rience for the kids. The kids are what it's all about." Those who can't afford to buy an entire animal on their own were able to team up with another person or do an add-on option, Collins said. An add-on is when the person tells the office staff they want to donate money to- ward a sale. It can be done for ei- ther a specific child, split amongst all animals in a particular breed or a specific instance such as the lowest selling lamb.
