Main St., will be holding its inaugural Bench Pressing Competition Friday in Dave’s Cave in honor of fallen Red Bluff Police Officer Dave Mobilio. Mobilio, who fitness center General Manager Troy Lalaguna said was a power lifter and a close friend of the center’s, was shot Nov. 19, 2002 while refueling his patrol car. “A lot of our members aren’t familiar with the history behind Dave’s Cave, built after Dave Mobilio was murdered,” Lalaguna said. “We’re putting this meet together out of respect for him and to support his family and the scholarship. It’s also a good motivator for our members to compete.” Mobilio The competition is open to anyone and there is no age limit, however, those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to sign a consent form. Weigh-ins can be done throughout the day Friday, but must be completed by 5:30 p.m. with competition, for men and women, starting at 6 p.m. Weight classes include Ladies’ Light Weight, 149 and lighter; Ladies’ Heavy Weight, 150 and heavier; Men’s Light Weight, 199 and lighter and Men’s Heavy Weight, 200 and heavier. Competition categories include most repetitions com- pleted by body weight, teams of two with one lightweight and one heavy weight for a combined total, strength to body weight ration and top repetitions for each class. Cost for the competition is a $10 donation to the Dave Mobilio Scholarship fund. Call 526-8656 for information.

Where to find discounts for Universal Studios Dear Mary: We are hoping to take a short vacation in May. Universal Studios in Orlan- do, Fla., would be great if I could find cheap or free tick- ets.

AAA offers its members nice discounts for Univer- sal and other parks, as do the Enter- tainment coupon books for that area. Check out these sources to find the best deal for the time you plan to visit. Dear Mary: Which do you believe is better for regular, every- day banking and savings, a standard bank or a credit union?

Continued from page 1A collective’s legal defense Wednesday. Panzer said the defense would revolve around the difference between the col- lective and operations that sell marijuana for profit. Suits brought against medical marijuana opera- tions have succeeded because those operations were explicitly commercial and never supposed to be enabled by Prop. 215, he said. “In a true patient associa- tion, not an over-the-counter pot store, but a patient asso- ciation, basically, people can get together and do jointly ARRESTS Continued from page 1A Police took three children, including the girl’s daughter, into protective custody because the residence was deemed unfit for DUI Continued from page 1A the crime, and witnesses who said Nuno had been Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

The Oakland attorney likened the idea behind Tehama Herbal Collective to a household collectively paying for a pizza delivery. If one person takes cash from the others to pay the delivery man, and then shares the pizza with others, it does not make him a pizza restaurant, Panzer said. “It’s kind of a new theory, but also, there are very few dispensaries that are follow- ing this model,” he said.

Will my money be as safe in a credit union? -- Laura R., Califor- nia Dear Laura: I am a huge fan of credit unions. The only difference between a bank and a credit union is who owns it. A bank is a for-profit corporation owned by the shareholders who buy stock in the moneymak- ing entity. Shareholders like to make money, so banks are profit-driven. They make profits by charging interest and fees. A credit union is a banks, but in my opinion, they're a whole lot better because they oper- ate for the benefit of the account holders. Mary Hunt nonprofit owned by its members, the people who have accounts there. Credit unions typically have much lower fees, charge lower interest rates and are more customer-friend- ly. Accounts in banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., whereas accounts in credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Credit unions are as safe as taken.

I hope to use the principles in the book as the "right aid" at the right time and see the big financial picture.

Nor is it listed in the California Attorney Gener- al’s online database of chari- ties. But that kind of registra- tion should not be required just because a group of growers and patients happen to be exchanging medical marijuana and money, Panz- er said. “There’s no sales going on, nobody’s selling,” he said. “It’s an equitable con- tribution because what’s being cultivated by the asso- ciation is for the association. We’re talking pure socialism here.” That can be a loaded term, Panzer said. But legal- ly speaking, commercial children. Child endangerment charges are pending, according to the release.
