Congratulations to our Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists. were left in her care after their mother died and their father went to prison, said Tara, who lived across the street from Huntsman's home. Huntsman was always carrying around and playing with Delylah, Tara said. But things began to change after Cu- riel, a friend of Huntsman's oldest son, Daniel, moved in around December 2014.

First, Huntsman's husband moved out after reportedly discovering Hunts- man and Curiel's and then Daniel left in April 2015. Tara began to see less of the children outside, and when she did see Hunts- man carrying Delylah, it was holding her horizontally on her side, "like a bag of potatoes," Tara said. She had called police and child pro- tective services but to no avail. She re- members one social worker talking with Huntsman at her doorstep while trying to peek inside, she said. Plumas County deputy Her- mann found an emaciated Jane Doe curled up inside Huntsman's Toyota 4Runner using clothing as blankets, he told the Monterey County Superior Court Monday.

There, prosecutors played Her- mann's audio recording. In the audio, Hermann tells Jane Doe not to be afraid and asks her about her injuries: a black eye, bruises and an ap- parently broken shoulder. "I don't know if I should talk about it," Jane Doe replies softly. Hermann convinces Jane Doe to tell him, and she tells him "Gonzo," aka Cu- riel, and Huntsman are responsible. Huntsman and Curiel, however, tell Hermann Jane Doe hurts herself for at- tention, but he doesn't believe them.

Both are arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Later, at a hospital in Quincy, Jane Doe revealed more of the abuse to sher- detectives, according to a video in- terview at her bedside played in court. Curiel would punch, slap, choke and kick her "pretty much everywhere" any- time he got mad at her, she said in the recording. Her broken collarbone had created a bulge on her left shoulder, said Dr. Jason Reinking, the physician who examined her in the emergency room, in court.

In the audio, both Huntsman and Jane Doe say the shoulder injury hap- pened about a month prior. Two days after Jane Doe was found, Redding police Timothy Renault and Schmidt cut the locked bolt on storage unit, Schmidt Tuesday. was the odor of air freshener and a fairly obvious odor of Schmidt said.

Many were in the kitchen, where cers found food rotting, including some pancakes purchased Dec. 4, stagnant water and the smell of sewage, said po- lice Sgt. Rudy Roman. In the bedrooms, he found a water bottle containing urine on a bed, debris from the ceiling on another bed and spi- derwebs underneath the top of a bunk bed, he said.

Magana said they were looking for belts, shoelaces, zip ties, cords and any- thing else that could be used to tie someone up. They also took two golf clubs, both woods, and the shower head which Curiel and Huntsman allegedly used to beat the children. They also seized a bathroom rug and a Cinderella blanket that appeared to have blood on them. The bathroom is where most of the abuse took place, prosecutors have said. Huntsman pleaded guilty to charges of torture and murder in February.

Tes- timony in the case resumes Thursday. Trial Continued from Page 1A George Tanimura and his family. The employee-owned family farming busi- ness boasts a four-generation legacy and now farms more than 35,000 acres, distributing across North America, Europe and Asia. "Through hard work, perseverance, and leadership, Rick is the epitome of a true industry icon," Tanimura Antle wrote in a press statement. "He followed in the Antle family tradition of leader- ship and innovation, and helped propel the produce industry forward for dec- ades." Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter also said Antle's passing is a great loss to the Sali- nas Valley and the city.

Antle and the company are well known for taking care of their workers and often being there for anyone who needed help, Gunter said. In 2016, the company completed its $17-million farmworker housing com- plex Spreckels Crossing, despite some opposition from residents in the area, and the company has since been held up as an industry example. some point, people need to realize this housing situation we have in the Salinas Valley, and we need to step up and provide that housing," Antle said at the time. In February, Wesley Van Camp, gen- eral counsel for Tanimura Antle, was honored with the Salinas Valley Cham- ber of Commerce Ag Leadership award for work on the housing project. CEO, Rick Antle, sets a high bar.

And it is Rick who launched me on my journey as an advocate for agriculture and for this Van Camp said in accepting the award. He also recently spearheaded the company's transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan which gives em- ployees a chance to be part owners. "Rick was fond of introducing new technologies and systems into the in- dustry and never lost sight of its essen- tial elements customers, growers and employees," Tanimura Antle wrote. Salinas City Councilman Steve McShane credits Antle with his move to Salinas. When McShane was a sopho- more at Cal Poly, he visited Tanimura Antle where Rick Antle handed him his businesses card and let him know to call if he ever needed anything.

McShane headed back to school, but the following summer, he came to town for the rodeo and was invited to sit with Antle in his box seats. "He's always been a great ambassa- dor for Salinas and for the industry, so generous," McShane said. Antle was formerly the chairman of Monterey County Water Resources Agency. He also served on boards in- cluding Ag Rentals, Iceberg Let- tuce Research Board, United Fresh Pro- duce Association Board, Earthbound Farm, LLC, Ready Pac Produce, Dulcinea Farms, LLC, and the Cal Poly College of Agriculture Advisory Council. He was also the recipient of many in- dustry awards and recognitions such as The United Fresh Produce Association 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award, The Packer 2005 Produce Man of the Year and Cal Poly 1994 Department of Agri- culture Distinguished Alumnus.

Rick Antle is survived by his wife To- nya, mother Sue Antle, sons Brian An- tle, Antle and Anthony Pavich, daughter Natalie Drobny and grandchil- dren Cameron and Spencer Antle.

Bush. A memorial service is to be held at St.

A processional is planned to carry her body to the George Bush Presidential Library Center in Col- lege Station, on the campus of Texas where she will be laid to rest near the grave of a daughter, Robin. Her husband, the 41st presi- dent, is 93 years old and struggling with a disease that put him in a wheelchair and made it for him to speak. Son Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, is slated to deliver his eulogy.

She dropped out of Smith during her sophomore year to marry George Bush, the boy she had ever kissed and a young Navy pilot in World War II. After the war ended and he graduated from Yale, she and their toddler son, Georgie, followed him from the comforts of Con- necticut to the wilds of Texas, where he was determined to make his fortune in the booming oil business. Over the years, she established more than two dozen homes in their peripa- tetic life, served as rear- ing their surviving children, and emerged as one of her most trusted advisers and biggest political assets. She had a sharp eye for phonies and a blunt-spoken willingness to speak her mind, including to her son, George W. Bush, when he became the 43rd president.

New England roots Barbara Pierce was born June 8, 1925, the third of four children, and grew up in the tony New York City bedroom com- munity of Rye.

He was 17 and ready to enlist in the Navy as soon as he graduated from Phillips Academy Andover. When they married, she was 19 and he was 20.

Their union, stretching more than seven decades, is the longest of any presiden- tial couple in U.S. history. They had a large and boisterous fam- ily: George, Robin, Jeb, Neil, Marvin and Doro. Living in Odessa, then Midland, Bush made his money in the Texas oil business. He moved the family to Hous- ton and launched a political career becoming Harris County Republi- can chairman, then losing a bid for the U.S.

He ran for president in 1980, losing the Republican nomination but being selected at the last minute by Ronald Reagan as his running mate. After two terms as vice president, Bush was elect- ed president in 1988.
