tonwonhisfirstterm.The last Republican nominee to carryCaliforniawasGeorge H.W. Bush, in 1988. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Democrat, was in LosAngeles,urgingsupport for Proposition 61 that sup- porters say would save the state money on prescription drug costs. Polling suggests voters are leaning toward freeing pot smokers to light up, but SanFranciscoBayAreaphy- sicianTomSheridansaidhe was a strong opponent. "I think it's a health care issue, not a we-can-all-get- high issue," said Sheridan, 62, after casting his ballot in the town of Lafayette.

In the Democrat-against- Democrat Senate race, state Attorney General Kamala Harris entered the last full day of campaigning as the favorite to replace retiring Sen.BarbaraBoxer,aliberal icon who is stepping down after nearly a quarter cen- tury in the Senate. Her rival for the seat, Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County, planned to make a final appeal for votes in downtown Los An- geles and Anaheim. Har- ris had a handful of stops scheduled in Southern Cal- ifornia, including a rally at the University of Southern California. Statewide turnout based on mail-in ballots appears toberunningroughlyequal tothe2012presidentialelec- tion, though large numbers of younger and Hispanic voters have yet to enter the mix, said Paul Mitchell of nonpartisan research firm Political Data Inc. The state witnessed a surge of newly registered younger and Hispanic vot- ers this year, but they tend to be among the most unre- liable on Election Day. Lati- nosmakeupaboutaquarter of registered voters, but so far comprise only about 15 percentofthereturnedmail ballots, according to the re- search firm. Over half of new voter registrations this year came frommillennials—younger people who tend to be more liberal than older Califor- nians. Acrossthestate,thereare morethan400proposalson ballots to raise taxes or bor- row money as governments struggle to keep up with costs for everything from road paving to skyrocket- ing pension obligations. Voters are being asked to legalize the recreational use of medical marijuana 20 years after the state first allowed medicinal pot use. There are two proposals on the death penalty — one would repeal capital pun- ishment, the other would speed up appeals so con- victed murderers are actu- ally executed. TheSenatecontestmarks a generational and demo- graphic shift in the state thatisgrowingincreasingly diverseinpopulationandfa- vorable for Democrats. The Democrats-only race marks the first time since voters started electing sen- ators a century ago that Re- publicans will be absent from California's general election ballot, reaffirming the GOP's diminished stat- ure in the state. Boxer, who is white and turns 76 this week, will be replaced by one of two Baby Boomers. Harris, 52, could become the first Indian woman and the second black woman elected to the Senate. Har- ris' father is Jamaican and her mother is from India. If 56-year-old Sanchez pulls off an upset, the daughter of Mexican immi- grants could become one of the first Latinas to hold a U.S. Senate seat. The matchup between Harris and Sanchez is seen as a harbinger of things to come in the nation's most populousstate.Voterscould increasingly find only two Democrats to pick from for topofficesinNovemberelec- tions. Despite its historic di- mension, the contest was overshadowed by the race betweenHillaryClintonand Donald Trump and ignored by many voters, especially Republicans who ended up withoutacandidate.Andas two Democrats they largely agree on many issues, in- cluding the need to fight climate change and protect abortion rights. The two Democrats emerged from a 34-candi- date primary in June, in whichonlythetoptwovote- getters advanced to Novem- ber.NoneoftheRepublicans managedtobreakoutofsin- gle digits in voting. Harris became the favor- ite of the Democratic es- tablishment, winning en- dorsements from President Barack Obama, Gov. Jerry Brown, Boxer and Sen. Di- anne Feinstein, D-Califor- nia. With Harris the pick of the party establishment, Sanchezbecameanoutsider who openly sought Repub- lican votes and criticized Obama for backing her ri- val. Election FROMPAGE1 Studio 530 Danny and Di- anne Rabalais added an ex- tra touch with a fun photo booth for attendees to cap- ture memories of the night. Toward the end of the evening and auction was scheduled to take place in- cluding two pieces, a paint- ing entitled California Alps by R. Garoe and a paint- ing titled Mount Shasta by Henry Cassie Best, who is Ansel Adams' father-in-law. Unfortunately, the auction was postponed due to a lack of interested parties. The paintings will be put up for auction at some future Te- hama County Arts Council event. The next up-coming event for the council is the open house for the new Green Room location, which has tentatively been scheduled for 5-8 p.m. Nov. 18 at 710 Main Street. The community art studio will be moving into the base- ment. To keep up with the latest events visit the web- site tehamaarts.org. ArtWalk FROM PAGE 1 open flame fire next to the adobe building for partici- pants and spectators alike to enjoy. The 1852 Adobe was damaged when a 350- to 400-year-old Valley Oak lost it's limbs on July 13, 2014, but will be repaired soon, Weigel said. The tree itself was brought down on Oct. 7 and association members met Oct. 12 with park staff and other state representatives, including architects to discuss the situation moving forward into the repair phase. Dur- ing the meeting, the group looked at the structure as well as old photographs from the past. It was dis- covered that the roof put on at the time the build- ing was restored previ- ously was incorrect for the original time period that the adobe was built during. One thing that was brought up during discus- sions of whether to tear it down and rebuild or to salvage the building al- ready in existence was the importance to park vol- unteers and association members that the major- ity of the building is orig- inal to 1852 and is an ac- tual piece of history rather than just a representation, Weigel said. A consensus was reached that the res- toration use as much of the original walls as possible. "It's a touchstone to his- tory," Weigel said. "There was talk of putting pieces of the wall on display, but with it being left up as much as possible you get to see and touch a piece of history. Really, that's part of what makes this park special. That visitors get to see it up close and touch it rather than just look at it. It transports you back in time." While it's unclear why the roof was rebuilt in a different style, it will be re- stored to its original struc- ture as seen in old pictures, she said. There will also be improvements to the path- ways over to the building to make it more accessible to everyone. All the paperwork and designs have to be submit- ted and approved before work can be done, but the goal is to submit the plans sometime in the Spring of 2017. The approval could take days or even months, but should not interfere with the Life in the 1850s school program put on at the park for fourth grade students utilizing do- cents from Salisbury High School as teachers. The goal is to have the building restoration fin- ished by June 2018 so as not to jeopardize the fund- ing that is currently avail- able, she said.
