"We're quite happy with the national results and even though (Obama) didn't win in Tehama County, I feel we're a part of that victory." While vote by mail results are in and do not favor Democrats in local Wednesday, November 7, 2012 – Daily News 7A races, they are only one- third of the vote and he is still hopeful, Mathisen said. "I'm very excited about President Obama," Young said. "Locally, I'm really disappointed in (early) Prop. 30 results, but over- all I think it should go through." State Assembly candi- date Charles Rouse was among the Democrats awaiting results in Red Bluff. "It's utterly wonderful," Rouse said of the presi- dential results.

Dianne Feinstein secured easy vic- tories in California on Tuesday, reaffirming the state's prominent Democ- ratic tilt while the rest of the California ballot was thick with uncertainty. Democratic Gov. Jerry The Tehama County Elections Department released the first batch of vote-by-mail ballots Tuesday night.

Friends and family who knew Bryan knew how big his heart was. We all knew how he hated to see anyone go without so much so that he would give you his last dol- lar. Most of all he would not want anyone to worry about him. He would always say "I'm OK don't worry about me-I love you! Bryan you are our angel and you will for- ever live in our hearts.

Community Clip? e-mail: clerk@redbluffdailynews.com or Fax: 527-9251 In the race for president and the Senate, it's fair to say the outcome was never in doubt in the nation's most populous state, home to one in eight Americans. Mitt Romney bypassed California, a graveyard for Republican presidential candidates for a generation where GOP registration numbers have withered to below 30 percent. Obama won California and its 55 electoral votes on his way to being re-elected. Pamela Caton, 42, a Green Party member from Berkeley, said she voted for Obama to preserve his health care overhaul. ''It would be a big step backward to have Romney in office and dismantle that,'' she said. Obama ''has done a very good job the past four years, given the political climate.''

Feinstein, in a com- manding position from the start, essentially ignored Republican Elizabeth Emken, a political neo- phyte who tried to parlay her experience as an autism advocate and unsuccessful congressional candidate into a campaign against one of the state's most enduring politicians. She had little name recog- nition or money, making it virtually impossible to run a statewide campaign. No state politician had more at stake on the ballot than Brown, who was elected after promising to end the state's budget crisis and has personally cham- pioned a $6 billion-a-year tax increase that he says he will restore California's luster, especially for its schoolchildren. He promised to enact automat- ic spending cuts that would hit public schools hardest if Proposition 30 failed. Brown was greeted by more than two dozen sup- porters as he cast his ballot near his home in the Oak- land Hills Tuesday morn- ing. ''I think that's a propo- sition that speaks for itself, and I wouldn't be surprised if the outcome is more pos- itive than most of you are probably expecting,'' Brown said.

THE PASSING PARADE If you are not a devotee of choral music, and you hear the name Shaw, you probably think of George Bernard rather than Robert. However, Red Bluff was the birth place of Robert Lawson Shaw, a prominent choral director of his time. He founded the Robert Shaw Chorale, was conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus, received the first Guggenheim Fellowship ever awarded a conductor, 14 Grammy awards, 4 ASCAP awards for service to contemporary music, and was recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. In 1941, he founded the Collegiate Chorale, a group notable in its day for its racial integration. In 1945, the group performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the NBC Symphony under the baton ofArturo Toscanini, who famously remarked, "In Robert Shaw I have at last found the maestro I have been looking for." Robert was also choral director for radio's famous Fred Warring Glee Club I write of this subject because of a phone call from a fellow in Georgia who asked if I knew of the birthplace of Robert Lawson Shaw allegedly born in Red Bluff, California, April 30, 1916. I asked why he called me and he said, well, sources say you may be old enough to have either known him or at least where he was born in Red Bluff. Not meeting either of his requirements, but having known of Robert Shaw via the late Emmet Pendleton, I told the caller I would check around and get back to him. What we did discover was that Robert was born to Shirley and Nellie Shaw in 1916…and although the names might suggest a same sex marriage, Shirley was indeed male and a minister of the 1st Christian Church in Red Bluff from 1914 to 1916. He, Nellie Mae and their 5 children, moved to Southern California shortly thereafter. One daughter became a soloist with Phil Spitalne's All Girl Orchestra and Robert went on to greater fame with leading orchestras around the world. Though largely forgotten today in our neck of the woods, he obviously qualified as one of our more famous native sons. As to nailing down the actual family residence where Robert was born, our usual contacts came up empty handed. It wasn't until we contacted the widow of the previous minister of the 1st Christian Church, Mrs. JoAnn Beddoe, that we learned she had compiled a history of the church. From said research, Mrs. Beddoe indicated that the original church was founded in a single story house contiguous and north of the present church, said church began construction in 1899 and opened for business in 1900. And as, in those days, ministers were often provided living accommodations in the church's parsonage, it follows that Robert Shaw was indeed born in the house at 926 Madison. Thus endeth our search, not for the Holy Grail, but the more mundane yet relevant birthplace of Robert Lawson Shaw, 1916-1999.
