"They just have to have an accessible studio. We had more than last year this year and we figure every year it will increase." Allwardt teaches classes out of her home on Thurs- days and she loves talking about her art with others and encouraging them to try. "If you just keep sketch- ing you'll get better, but you'll never get there if you don't start," Allwardt said. Sharon Russell was out exploring the different stops and had made it to five others with her friend Nellie Barber before com- ing to Allwardt's house. "It's a great event," Rus- sell said. "I think it's won- derful that people open up their studios and therefore opening us up to a whole new world of art. I think we have a lot of great artists in this community." Russell enjoyed all of the art work, but found Jay Murphy's studio one of her favorites, she said. "It's amazing and there are some very unusual pieces," Russell said. Barber said she loves the open studio and finds it fas- cinating. "I wish they had more artists participating," Bar- ber said. Debby Sipes and Con- nie Maxey said they en- joyed seeing all the differ- ent types of artwork. "It's a great," Sipes said. "It's a nice opportunity to see how people work and what they do. We have a va- riety of talents in this com- munity." Up the road from All- wardt's place was Bill Ran- berg who grew up knowing Allwardt long before they were neighbors. "This is my first one and Vicki Allwardt talked me into participating at the last craft fair we did at the Red bluff Community Cen- ter," Ranberg said. Metal sculptures are Ranberg's chosen art, but working with metal and welding is something he has done for years, he said. "My dad passed away and I used to work a lot with my dad in this shop," Ranberg said. "It also gives me a chance to visit with my mom." Current projects include an old rat rod he is turn- ing into a piece of art on down to smaller items like his indestructible garden gnome to the tiny motor- cycles where he uses the top portion of the spoon to make the gas tank. All his items are made of left- over tools and scrap metal, something that started with his work for the Bu- reau of Reclamation at the Shasta Dam, he said. "They were cleaning out the power plants and were bringing in all this scrap metal that was just so darn interesting," Ranberg said. "I was inspired and just never stopped creating." His father always worked on cars growing up and he has been weld- ing since a young age so with retirement it has be- come a hobby, he said. It all started with a fisher- man statue that included the fisherman's catch cre- ated for a class at Shasta College, but the talent lay dormant until he had the extra time retirement left him. "When I first started, I didn't think of it much as art, but more of a hobby," Ranberg said. Artists involved in the 2016 open studio included Allwardt and her husband Dennis with fine art and decorative art, Ranberg's metal scupltures, Pris- cilla Aragon with jewelry, Frances Becker with fine art, Blynne Froke with fine art featuring wild- life and Yellie Lawrence, who teaches classes at the Green Room Community Art Studio, with her ce- ramic pottery. Jamie Means with his western art, Jay Murphy with ceramic sculptures, Bruce Ross with his turned bowls and ceramic bowls and Patty Tompkins with her spinning and weaving rounded out the group of artists.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A former JetBlue flight attendant accused of trying to sneak a suitcase with 60 pounds of cocaine through Los An- geles International Air- port and then making a dramatic dash to escape plead guilty in federal court Monday. Marsha Gay Reynolds, 32, plead guilty to conspir- acy to possess and distrib- ute cocaine, according to court documents. A convic- tion on the charge carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison. Reynolds, a U.S. citizen and resident of Queens, New York, is a former Ja- maican beauty queen and New York University track athlete. Bundles of cocaine were found in the bag she aban- doned March 18 when she flung off her high heels and bolted after being flagged for a random security screening, authorities said. She ran down an upward- moving escalator and out the terminal. She took a JetBlue flight the next day to New York, where she surrendered days later. An attorney for Reyn- olds said she might not have been sure what was in her bag. Reynolds was getting paid thousands of dollars to help smuggle drugs and money through airport se- curity at LAX and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, ac- cording to a plea agree- ment filed Friday. The document spelled out nine different times when Reynolds helped an unnamed co-conspirator, who is not charged, pull off the scheme to deliver drugs to customers in Mas- sachusetts and elsewhere. The person, who was in the U.S. illegally, gave Reynolds the cocaine and money, and she would use her "known crew member" clearance to get through security and then give them back to the co-con- spirator, according to the document. Prosecutors previously said 70 pounds of cocaine were found, but the plea agreement said it was just shy of 60 pounds. There was no immediate expla- nation for the discrepancy. The co-conspirator fled to Jamaica, according to the document.
