Butte County Fair ready to roll in Gridley, tonight through Sunday

Gridley >> Today is showtime for the Butte County Fair in Gridley, with events running through Sunday. Wednesday was a full day of preparation in the hot sun. Trucks hauled folded and disassembled carnival rides, food booths had been arranged and a striped curtain hung over the window of the yellow lemonade stand. Over in the animal arena Wednesday, many children showed their skill with animals to the judges. However the bleachers were empty. Once upon a time, the fair ran for five days instead of four, explained Kari Gendreau, who was with her two children who had raised dairy goats this year. Her 11-year-old son, Cole, was wearing the very white 4-H uniform and holding tight to his young goat that had earned him a top prize. In some ways, it’s nice to be able to show the animals without the stress of a huge crowd, the mother said. Cole and his sister Alex have both raised animals from a young age. Dairy goats are not sold at the end of the fair, and Cole plans to breed his awa... (Chico Enterprise-Record)

Beach Reads with Marjorie Preston

Her days as a society belle ended with her marriage to Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, who spent Julia’s money, scorned her literary dreams, and was stingy with his affections. “Civil Wars” is filled with famous names of the 19th century: Longfellow, Emerson, Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, Helen Keller and poet Robert Browning, with whom Julia waged a bitter feud. Eventually she gained fame with a collection of poetry called “Passion-Flowers,” a scandalous and thinly veiled attack on her husband, and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” which became an anthem of the Civil War. Julia is presented as a woman imprisoned by the social mores of her era; she went on to become a champion of women’s suffrage, and one of the nation’s first firebrand feminists. This is a juicy and entertaining account of a spirit that ultimately could not be tamed.       Robert Plant: A Life       By Paul Rees; It Books       The “Golden God” of Led Zeppelin authorized this biography, yet the author relies on mates and other interview sources for much of the insight, and poses several questions he then does not answer (i.e., why was the singer’s boyhood nickname “Plonky”?) That quibble aside, here’s a first-rate account of the rock ’n’ roll wailer, a middle-class English boy who fell in love with Elvis and the American blues, and, like millions of kids of the time, began a single-minded pursuit of rock stardom. By age 20, he was playing arenas with Led Zeppelin. Then came the usual wretched excess: drugs, debauchery, backstage mayhem and wrecked hotel rooms. Unlike Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who died at 32 in a vodka-induced coma, Plant was lucky enough to grow up. Here’s his story – as outsized, extravagant and unique as the singer himself.      Marjorie Preston reads as much as she writes, which is a lot. Reach her at mprestonwriting@gmail.com.
