Chilly day for a cook-off

RED BLUFF – The scent of comfort food filled the streets of historic downtown Saturday during the annual Chili Cook-off and Car Show. The Red Bluff Volunteer Fire Department booth took both the People’s Choice and Showmanship awards, according to Rotarian Jennifer Vise. “It was a good day to eat chili and it was a good turnout considering the weather,” Vise said. About 20 businesses participated in the event, which always takes place rain or shine. This year, it rained. Though most businesses represented were local, there were vendors from out of the area, as well. There were many first-time contenders at the Saturday event. Olivia Phillips said The Boot Barn in Anderson competed for its first time this year. She said it was “a lot of fun. I’m happy to be here.” Each booth had its own signature style. Tasting began at 11 a.m. and continued until 3 p.m. or until the pots ran dry. Tickets for the tastings sold for $8. Red Bluff Community Service Police Officer Priscilla Raglin said her “Code 3’ chili starts off strong and ends spicy.” The Red Bluff

Red Bluff City Council to talk street tax measure

RED BLUFF — The Red Bluff City Council Tuesday will discuss the second reading of an ordinance that would establish a local street-first transportation funding measure. The measure would be placed on the November election ballot as a special use tax if adopted. If passed by 66.67% of the voters, city staff anticipated the measure might generate up to 3.8 million in revenue dedicated only to improving local streets. The funds from this .075 percent tax would have a 25-year term and be explicitly used to maintain city streets, improve existing streets, and develop adjacent ADA improvements where required. As part of the measure’s requirements, an oversight committee would be created to ensure the funds are being used properly. This ordinance was drafted using a template from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. It was created with input from the City Attorney Sophia Meyer, City Engineer Robin Kampmann, Public Works Director Scott Miller and City ManagerTom Westbrook. Once the ordinance was drafted, it was sent to staff at the CDTFA, who reviewed and provided comments on the proposal. In other business The council

Travis Scott’s attorneys say the rapper wasn’t responsible for safety at deadly Astroworld concert

HOUSTON, Texas — Rapper Travis Scott’s attorneys asked a Texas judge to grant his recently filed motion for summary judgment in the civil suit regarding the deadly 2021 Astroworld festival in Houston. Scott headlined the concert, during which 10 people were killed as authorities and festival organizers responded to a massive crowd surge and tried to shut down the show. Last week, the judge dismissed lawsuits against hip-hop guest performer Drake, along with several other individuals and companies involved in the show. Scott’s attorney, Steve Brody, presented the motion to Judge Kristen Brauchle Hawkins on Monday afternoon. She did not render a decision before the court was adjourned. A motion for summary judgment asks the judge to determine if a material issue of facts exists and whether the case should proceed to trial. In the motion, Scott’s attorneys allege that the Houston rapper “acted diligently to protect against every reasonably apprehensible danger” and “supported festival organizers’ efforts to eliminate” safety risks. Brody said that his client’s responsibility in the Astroworld Festival was to market the festival, perform, curate the talent lineup, his personal security, and

Bishop among several people reported stabbed at church in Sydney, Australia, days after mall attack

SYDNEY — Horrified worshipers watched online and in person as a bishop was stabbed at the altar during a church service in Sydney on Sunday evening, and three others were stabbed as people rushed to help. Police said there were no life-threatening wounds, and a man was arrested. Hundreds of angry people hurried to the Orthodox Assyrian church and some clashed with riot police, with vehicles damaged. The church and local leaders pleaded for calm. “A large police response is underway and the public is urged to avoid the area,” police said. The Christ the Good Shepherd in suburban Wakely streams sermons online, and a video on social media shows a man dressed in black approaching a cleric identified as the bishop and appearing to stab him repeatedly in the head and upper body. Members of the congregation are seen screaming and rushing to stop it. The church identified the bishop as Mar Mari Emmanuel. Authorities did not immediately report a motive for the attack. Australians were still in shock after a lone assailant stabbed six people to death in a Sydney shopping mall on

Family of man who died in custody in Tulare County files lawsuit

TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Family and loved ones of Guadalupe Garcia held a press conference Monday morning alongside their lawyers, detailing how they say deputies killed the 57-year-old back in July 2022. It’s been nearly two years since Guadalupe died in custody. Now, his family is looking for justice and answers about his death. Lawyers for the family say Garcia was arrested for DUI on July 25, 2022. Attorney John Carpenter says deputy body camera video and surveillence video they received from the county show deputies cuffed and put leg shackles on Garcia and walked him into a cell. The law firm released edited video, which they say shows the incident as it unfolded. “These officers then went into the cell, and they gave him the impossible demand of laying down on his stomach with your hands behind your back,” Carpenter said. “It’s not something you can physically do, and they called that being non-compliant.” That’s when Carpenter says the situation escalated, the deputies put Garcia on his stomach, got on top of him and stayed there for four minutes. When he stopped moving

Steph Curry to compete for Team USA in Paris 2024 Olympics: Report

Steph Curry is going to be an Olympian for the first time, according to a report from ESPN. Curry, 36, will represent the United States at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. As the national team finalizes its roster ahead of the games, Curry was one of 11 players on the list; one slot is reportedly being left open for the time being. Curry will be joined by contemporaries like LeBron James, Kevin Durant as well as some of the game’s best players — Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards. Heat center Bam Adebayo, Celtics guard Jrue Holiday, and Pacers playmaker Tyrese Haliburton are also on the roster, per ESPN. The Olympic games will be a reunion for Curry and Durant, as well as Steve Kerr — the Warriors head coach who is coaching the Americans. Curry, the two-time NBA All-Star and four-time champion, has never competed at the Olympic level. He represented Team USA in international play during the FIBA World Cup twice. Team USA has won gold every Olympics since 2008. But they’ll be tested this summer, as other

Ex-SF Giants icon and Cardinals reserve Brandon Crawford saw plenty of games in Oakland as a youth

OAKLAND — Brandon Crawford has been to the Coliseum plenty of times, but the vibe was decidedly different Monday night for the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop. He departed from a team hotel, took a bus to the game and wasn’t in the starting lineup against the Athletics for the start of a three-game series. Crawford’s wife Jalynne and youngest child are scheduled to arrive Wednesday. He expected to see his parents and sister in the stands but wasn’t sure who else would be there from his days as a football and baseball star at Foothill High in Pleasanton. It’s not certain that Crawford will play at all in the series, given his job as a backup shortstop and mentor for starter Maysn Winn. “It’s a tough role, not playing every day and not getting your timing going with the bat,” Crawford said in the visiting dugout a few hours before the game. “But I’m not complaining. I knew what I signed up for and I’m trying to help out any way I can.” The series will be the closest thing to a homecoming until the

Amid bullpen confusion, SF Giants rally to avoid loss to National League’s worst team

MIAMI — Finally having chased Edward Cabrera, the Marlins starter who flummoxed them for six innings Monday night, it didn’t initially look like the Giants’ luck had shifted when Matt Chapman lined a surefire single into center field that found the outstretched mitt of a diving Jazz Chisholm Jr. But the next batter, Thairo Estrada, ripped a double down the left-field line and advanced to third on a wild pitch. That turned out to be a sign of things to come from George Soriano, who was called on to relieve Cabrera and put two more batters on base via walks and hit another. Both free passes came around to score in a three-run seventh inning that erased an early deficit and averted a series-opening loss to the National League’s worst team. Seeing his first action since last Sunday, Camilo Doval recorded his second save of the season and the Giants won, 4-3. Mike Yastrzemski, the recipient of the first walk, raced home from second base when Jung Hoo Lee lined the seventh pitch of his at-bat — after fighting off three two-strike pitches foul —
