tually,butthiswayitben- efits all involved parties, Shobash said. "There were a lot of safety concerns that had to be met before we could do a class like this," Sho- bash said. "The goal is to simulate a structure fire in the safest possible situ- ation. That way it's a real training, which benefits us, but also helps clean up the property and it's a lot less debris for them, meaning debris removal is cheaper." The class is consider- ably cheaper than a class offered elsewhere, which includes travel expenses, so to be able to do it at a reduced rate is helpful, Shobash said. It's also a class that is needed to help those wishing to be instructors. The class will include practice with fire hy- drants, practicing vari- ous fire attack methods, including an exterior at- tack, as well as ventila- tion and rapid interven- tion team. There will be burning off and on throughout the day Saturday starting at noon, but the majority of the smoke will be vis- ible on Sunday when the structure is to be burned down. People can watch from the sidewalks, but are asked not to park cars on the side near the resi- dence and to keep out of traffic. Signs will be put out to indicate training is taking place. "We ask that people stay on the sidewalks and don't come onto the prop- erty while we are train- ing," Shobash said.

Tehama County Proba- tion Deputy Chief Michael Coley spoke on his work in teaching 3-D printing at the Maker Space in juvenile hall. Coley works with the adult division primarily, but has found the Maker Space an excellent way to connect with youth. Walking over to the ju- venile hall area was a little foreign at first, but he was blown away by the makers space and the transforma- tion it has brought to the youth, he said. "I'm a tech junkie so it's an opportunity to con- nect with the youth," Coley said. "You see how rigid the kids are, but as soon as they cross the Mak- ers Space threshold their arms come down and you see signs of them being more comfortable. It's a place for the kids to learn more about each other, find similar interests and build relationships. It was an amazing transforma- tion in the youth. You be- gin to see less defiance and more sympathy and they support each other." Michelle Ackley and Kim Clawson from Red Bluff High School got up to talk about the Book in Com- mon program at the school, which is a collaborative ef- fort to encourage people to read and have discussions. This year's book is The Dis- tance Between Us. Grissom took a moment to recognize fellow leader- ship team member Karissa Morehouse before introduc- ing the final speaker of the day, Rachel Hatch who is Research Director at Insti- tute for the Future. More- house and her husband Tim have been involved in the event since the initial con- versation that led to the summit. She will be mov- ing out of the area to accept a job as Associate Dean of Student Success and Equity at Lassen College. Hatch spoke on the topic of mapping a stronger pub- lic imagination and the need to encourage it. "We live in a world of private imagination, not collective imagination and imagination is the en- gineer of change," Hatch said. The institute she works for isn't so much about pre- dicting the future as it is taking a look at and sens- ing change on the horizon, she said. It's important to look at and see what are the "drivers of change" that will affect the Northstate over the next decade. "We need to scan for signals of change," Hatch said. "People are building the future today and the more conversations we have about it, the better we will be prepared for the future. We need to talk not just about the exciting changes to foster, but also the emer- gent dilemmas so we can be resilient." Anne Schulte, who works at California State Univer- sity, Chico in the School of Education, said she thought it was a great event as a new attendee. Chico State fac- ulty is working on trying to recruit more Northstate residents to attend and it was a chance to meet peo- ple. "I came to see what is go- ing on and how we can be a part of it," Schulte said. "The connections and net- working opportunity this summit has are incredible."

The cause was traced to a failed piece of underground equipment in which an un- derground connection for cables in a splice box failed, Moreno said. The majority of the cus- tomers, about 1,800, had power restored at 8:30 p.m. with more power restored to customers throughout the night. The last eight customers had power re- stored by 7 a.m. Friday. Outage FROM PAGE 1 "The goal is to simulate a structure fire in the safest possible situation.

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press SACRAMENTO The Cali- fornia Department of Motor Vehicles does not appear to have had an adequate disas- ter recovery system in place before a computer melt- down wiped out most oper- ations for several days, two information technology ex- perts say. Basedonlimitedinforma- tiontheDMVprovidedinre- sponse to questions submit- ted by The Associated Press, the experts said it appears the DMV's technology infra- structure falls short of the best industry practices. In particular, they said, the DMV should have a plan to recover from a cata- strophic failure that involves distinct computer systems thatarephysicallyseparated withindependentpowersup- plies. That way, if one data center — or even one sec- tion of a data center — over- heatsor experiencesapower surge, backupsystemsaren't affected. The California DMV ran primary and backup sys- temsside-by-sideinthesame hardware cabinet. "If their definition of di- sasterrecoveryishavingpri- mary and backup systems in the same hardware chassis, that's grotesque," said Rich- ard Fichera, a vice presi- dent of Forrester Research who advises large compa- nies on servers, storage and data centers. "That is com- pletely inadequate for a crit- icalstatewideagencylikethe DMV." The DMV said Friday that three offices were still expe- riencing problems but it ex- pected all to return to nor- mal operations by the end of theday.Thedepartmentsays its systems were not hacked ortargetedanditdidnotlose customer data. DMV officials have said the outage was triggered by the failure of hard drives in both primary and backup systems at one of its two server facilities but have not said what caused them to fail. The DMV's system was designed to withstand fail- ures in the primary or the backup system but not both, said Jaime Garza, a DMV spokesman. The ability to recover from a disaster was degraded because the sys- tems in two separate loca- tions were used simultane- ously, he said. "The computer system has redundancy," Garza said. "Unfortunately, with the loss of several hard disks in a short time period, that redundancy was lost." Maintaining primary and backup drives within the same physical location and even the same equipment cabinet is "insane," said Stu- artLipoff,presidentofIPAc- tion Partners, a technology consultant based in New- ton, Massachusetts, who re- viewed the DMV's explana- tion of the failure. "It's inexcusable that the entire system would come down," Lipoff said. "They were not observing what are good practices and good guidelines that I think any modern IT department would practice."

EVELYN MAY THILL October 12, 1922 ~ October 25, 2016 Evelyn (Mailhot) Thill went to the Lord on Oct. 25, 2016, with her five children surrounding her with prayers and hymns. She was a very sweet lady, who always remem- bered to say "Thank you," even for the small ordinary things. Her smile could warm the coolest room! Evelyn was born in Spokane, Washington to Charles Moise Mailhot and Rhea Kathleen Quesnel on October 12, 1922, the second of four children. Rhea moved with her chil- dren to Los Angeles in 1928, invited by Rhea's sister Leo- na after the death of their father. Leona and her husband Charles took one of the children with them on their year- ly trips and in 1934 it was Evelyn's turn when they took a three month trip around the world. She recounted that trip instead of sheep on sleepless nights. Evelyn attended school and graduated from Catholic Girls' High in Los An- geles. She loved going to the movies and often attended on a Saturday and would be there most of the day. She saw "Gone with the Wind" on opening day and eventual- ly watched it six times! She also loved the Nelson Eddy & Jeanette McDonald musicals. She attended business school where she nurtured her love of bookkeeping be- fore she married Raymond Thill, a sergeant in the Air Force on July 10, 1945. They had met through his sister's family and become pen pals during World War II. They traveled extensively throughout the United States and to Okinawa during his 27 year career. In 1970 the family settled in Paradise, CA, with their three younger children. While living there, Evelyn was active in St.Thomas Moore parish, serving on both the Parish Council and the School Board. She also served as president of the Feather River Hospital Auxiliary and we can't forget her love of being Team Mother of son Larry's baseball team! In 1999 she moved to Red Bluff, CA with her daughter Margie. She was active in the St.Elizabeth Auxiliary and loved going to Red Hat Society functions. She enjoyed going on cruises, travelling to Alaska, Hawaii (twice) and Mexico. She didn't even care much about getting off the boat; she just loved being on the ship! She also was a serious fan of the Notre Dame University and 49ers football teams! Evelyn was a most loving mother, mentor and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is sur- vived by her daughter, Kathleen Palmer and husband, Daryl, of Tigard, OR, daughter Margie Duey of Red Bluff, daughter Renee Smetak and husband, James, of Ander- son, CA, son Larry Thill and wife, Madeline, of Loomis, CA and Maria Russell of Red Bluff, as well as seven grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She was preced- ed in death by her two sisters and brother. A Rosary and Memorial Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Red Bluff on Friday, Nov. 4 at 10:00 AM. Evelyn loved a party and didn't care for black, so we will have a lively celebration of her life, complete with bal- loons and festive colors at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall, 2355 Monroe Ave, at noon. Please join us! In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Evelyn's favorite chari- ty, Covenant House, 461 Eighth Ave., New York, NY 10001.
