A Red Bluff CHP Daily News photo by Andre Byik Jonah and Maureen Nuuhiwa play a Beatles tune at the 15th annual Fall Craft Fair on Saturday. By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor The 15th annual Fall Craft Fair held at the Red Bluff Community Center on Saturday attracted crafters such as woodworkers, jew- elers and foodies but, vendors said, people weren't buying what they had to offer. The event, which benefited the Blues for the Pool organization and Red Bluff Community Auxiliary, was expected to bring in about $1,000 for the city pool, said Daniele Jackson, event organizer and member of the Blues for the Pool committee. That dollar amount is small com- pared to, Jackson said, the roughly $450,000 that has been spent in the city and on the pool in the last four years. In 2002, a $233,000 grant was awarded for use on the pool, but was held onto until renovations were specified. And about $120,000 was raised in the last four years by Blues for the Pool that coincided with $120,000 in capital upgrades such as the outbuildings that were erected last summer. But the $1,000 can be used by the Blues for the Pool committee to publicize efforts that aim to keep the pool open. On the show floor, attendees were steady if not overwhelming.

Corning resident Salome Serna applied for a dog kennel license for four dogs after he was cited by Corning Police on Aug. 13 for breaking city code, which states there must be a kennel license for more than three dogs, according to a staff report. Corning Police reports attached to the staff report show problems between the Serna family and a neighbor. Staff received at least one letter from a neighbor unable to attend the hear- ing asking for her letter to stand as her objection. In her letter, the In a letter to the city, Serna said he has given away one of the five dogs for which his family was cited, but his 12-year-old daughter is attached to one of the dogs his family has had for 11 years and his 8-year-old is attached to the other three. Police have discriminated against him by not ticket- ing his neighbors, whose dogs reportedly frequent- ly run at large, while he has been ticketed after an animal control officer entered his residence without permission. Serna's letter said his Serna said Corning seascapes and was set up at the community center for hours, said, by about noon, he hadn't paid for the gas it took to drive to Red Bluff. The reason for the low atten- dance was less clear, but vendors said enthusiasm for crafts could have been dampened by the slow- to-recover economy, and that Red Bluff's fair isn't alone.

The pursuit, which was a short one prior to the collision, started when an officer tried to pull the motorcyclist over for not having working taillights, Redding said. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead by med- ical personnel at the scene of the collision, he said. Following the colli- sion, the motorcycle, a 1993 Suzuki, was deter- mined to have been stolen, according to a CHP press release. Investigation into the collision has been turned over to the Northern Divi- sion Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team (MAIT), which should be releasing more information this week, Redding said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews .com.
