Mexican street food eatery opens in Redding with loaded Takis, elote

Redding couple Anarea Ramos and Gabriel Resendiz started off thinking they'd sell lemonade — the fresh-squeezed kind their children adored — from a small pop-up that would travel to events or temporarily set up at food truck parks, an idea honed from watching online videos of other businesses that had followed that path. Then the idea "just grew," said Ramos. In March, Ramos and Resendiz opened La Casita de Limon in Redding. The tiny drive-thru and walk-up only eatery with a small seating area out front offers fresh-squeezed lemonade and much more. Mexican street food snacks, sweet desserts and fresh-squeezed juices are among the eatery's specialties, including fresh lemonade studded with mango chunks and fresh strawberries. Other choices include shaved ice; scoops of mango or bubblegum-flavored ice cream; and fresas con crema, fresh-cut fruit in a cup that's topped with sweetened, homemade whipped cream and sprinkles. "We always make the snacks at home and then it got to the point where we want to share snacks with everybody," said Resendiz. The small establishment located in between a dry cleaners and car wash on a busy stretch of Churn Creek Road is getting a lot of attention since it opened on

California has one ballot counting trouble spot. Its the one run by an election denier

Fingers are being pointed at Shasta County's clerk - registrar of voters for the slow and mismanaged ballot counting in the rural county. photo credit: US Bureau of Reclamation/Wikimedia Shasta Lake in Shasta County, CA. Photographed on 11 March, 2019. In the end, it wasn't shady bogeymen stuffing ballot boxes or federal agents who caused disruptions on election night in the rural Northern California Republican stronghold of Shasta County. It was the seeming incompetence of Clint Curtis, the county's election-denying elections chief who's soon to be unemployed. Journalists, including CalMatters' reporting partner Shasta Scout, have reported numerous problems with the vote count in Shasta County, a 2.5-hour drive north of Sacramento. They reported overflowing ballot boxes, staffing shortages, workers putting ballots in the wrong bins, computer hiccups and voters arriving at their polling places to find signs saying the location had been moved. Most counties dropped initial results right after 8 p.m. [when the polls closed on election night], but Shasta didn't report any until around 10 p.m. since elections officials hadn't set up their computer system properly, leaving it as the only county in the state that on Wednesday morning hadn't finished counting ballots from those who voted in

High school volleyball: 4 Redding-area teams win Northern Section titles

Four Redding-area girls volleyball teams claimed Northern Section championships on Saturday, Nov. 7, including Shasta, West Valley, U-Prep and Redding Christian. Read about each team's trip to the finals and how they got it done to claim a coveted NSCIF title. U-Prep's journey can be read here. West Valley gets revenge against Orland For the second year in a row, West Valley and Orland competed in the NSCIF Division III championships. Orland took it last year, but on Saturday, the Eagles claimed a 3-1 victory (25-16, 21-25, 25-21, 25-21). It's the Eagles' fifth championship in the last six years, and four of those wins came against Orland. Heading into Saturday's contest, coach Justin Byxbe emphasized staying confident through inevitable Orland runs. "We played a lot of games this week with a lot of pressure and fun, but pressure," Byxbe said. "I actually told them, don't expect to win in three. Always expect some adversity." West Valley took the first set, but the Trojans came back to win the second. Orland was leading the Eagles 21-20 in the fourth set when Byxbe called a timeout.

Redding eyeing more cuts to vacant city jobs to shore up budget

Redding leaders are weighing which of dozens of vacant city jobs they'll cut, if any, including six top positions and eight public safety positions. Each of the vacant jobs under scrutiny is partly or completely supported by the general fund, Interim City Manager Michael Webb said in a report about job vacancies to the Redding City Council on Nov. 3. The number of vacancies changes often as workers retire or resign, Webb said, but on Oct. 26 — the date his office compiled the report — Redding had 38 openings. The council opted on Nov. 3 to hold off on cutting vacant jobs until they hear fiscal updates in December — and after three newly elected or reelected councilpersons are seated. If the council then decides to freeze those jobs, those and other cuts made to vacant positions in October could save the city as much as $2.66 million in fiscal year 2027, said Webb. But just because a job is vacant doesn’t mean that position isn’t necessary, he said. Some of those jobs have “mission critical roles. They could be public safety. They could be tied to regulatory requirements or essential services or continuity.” And some departments' staff are
