Condolences may be written to the family at www.chapelof theflowers.net NANCY JULIA NICHOLS was in Bell and Norwalk near Los Angeles where she and her two sisters had var- ious farm animals. Nancy’s mother Sarah Davison passed away when Nancy was 11 and her father Maurice Davison also passed away when Nancy was 13. She spent her teen age years in Tennessee living with and working for Aunts and Uncles. Nancy played with the High School bas- ket ball team. Leaving Tennessee she re- turned to California where she worked with a friend showing Shorthorn beef cattle, and another working with Arabian horses, and as a waitress. While showing Shorthorn cattle at Pomona Fair she met Milton Nichols who was showing Hereford cat- tle. It was a match made in heaven and they were mar- ried March 25, 1962. As Mil- ton was working for the Mt. San Antonio College on the school farm, they lived on campus until 1965 when they moved to Red Bluff to work as a team to raise Hereford and Shorthorn beef cattle, grow oat and alfalfa hay, and be leaders in Red Bank 4-H Club. Milton and Nancy cared May 25, 1934 - June 23, 2010 Nancy’s early childhood KAROL J. TUDOR Karol J. Tudor, beloved wife, mother and grand- mother, died on Wednes- day, June 23, 2010 at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Red Bluff. She was the daugh- ter of Eunice Leoma (Slater) and Bird Franklin Hunt and was born on July 12, 1930 in Pocatello, Idaho. Her early years were lived in Idaho, Nevada and Oak- land, CA before coming to Red Bluff where she gradu- ated from Red Bluff High School. She lived mostly in Red Bluff until 1962 when she moved to Duluth, MN with her first husband, Ken- neth Gooler, and their four children. She returned to California in 1968 and eventually settled back in Red Bluff with her second husband, Gary Tudor, where they have lived for the past 32 years. Karol was proud of her for a number of Foster boys for a short time and two; Henry Paul (Jay) Freeman, and John Freeman through their high school and junior college years thinking of them as their sons. Milton and Nancy also shared an interest in vin- tage cars, trucks, and trac- tors restoring them. They were active as 4-H leaders and in the CHVA car club, Graham Owners Club Inter- national, Northern Calif. Re- gion of the American Truck Historical Society and the Nor-Cal Antique Tractor and Engine Club. Nancy always put extreme effort forward to be cheer- ful, and think of and help other people with their problems even through the nine years she has battled cancer. She is well known for being the Red Bluff High School Snack Bar manager, and especially for those great Cinnamon Rolls, the Snack Bar used to sell. One of Nancy’s Cinnamon Rolls will always bring sparkle in the eyes of an adult that remembers them from High School days. Nancy is survived by her husband, Milton Nichols of Red Bluff, foster sons, John Freeman of Santa Anna; Paul (Jay) Freeman of Oroville, Sister, Jane Abbott of Union City, TN; 2 Foster Granddaughters & 2 Great Grandchildren all of Chico. Visitation will be Monday long career as a registered dental assistant. She en- joyed her work and setting adults and children at ease with her gracious smile and genuine concern for their comfort, always professio- nal and diligent. After re- tirement, she was pleased to serve as a Pink Lady at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and especially enjoyed volun- teering in Day Surgery and making cookies and cakes to share with the staff. Kar- ol loved her trips with hus- band Gary to Fort Bragg and other coastal locations, planning delicious meals and talking with her chil- dren on the phone. Karol was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Patricia Valentine. Karol is survived by her beloved husband of 38 years, Gary Tudor; children, Kelly Ravenfeather (John Larsen) of Duluth, MN; Ke- vin (Cherie) Gooler of San- ta Rosa; Kieron Gooler of Petaluma, Kenneth Gooler (Carolyn Adams) of Santa Rosa; Tammera (Jeff) Wooten of Phoenix, AZ and Troy Tu- dor of San Leandro; thir- teen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; neph- ews, other relatives and friends. The bright light of her smile remains in our memories. Memorial service will be step-children, Many legislators aim to copy Ariz. law BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Arizona’s sweeping new immigration law does- n’t even take effect until next month, but lawmakers in nearly 20 other states are already clamoring to follow in its footsteps. Gubernatorial candidates in Florida and Minnesota are singing the law’s praises, as are some lawmakers in other states far from the Mexico border such as Idaho and Nebraska. But states also are watching legal challenges to the new law, and whether boycotts over it will harm Arizona’s economy. The law, set to take effect July 29, requires police to check the immigra- tion status of anyone they think is in the country illegally. Violators face up to six months in jail and $2,500 in fines, in addition to federal deportation. Lawmakers or candidates in as many as 18 states say they want to push similar measures when their legislative sessions start up again in 2011. Ari- zona-style legislation may have the best chance of passing in Oklahoma, which in 2007 gave police more power to check the immigration status of peo- ple they arrest. Bills similar to the law Arizona’s legislature approved in April have already been introduced in Penn- sylvania, Rhode Island, Minnesota, South Carolina and Michigan, but none will advance this year. Business, agriculture and civil rights groups oppose such legislation, saying legal residents who are Hispanic would be unjustly harassed and that immigration is a federal rather than a state responsi- bility. Supporters say police will not stop people solely on the basis of skin color and argue that illegal immigrants are draining state coffers by taking jobs, using public services, fueling gang violence and filling prisons. ‘‘If the feds won’t do it, states are saying, ’We’re going to have to do it,’’’ said Idaho state Sen. Monty Pearce. Pearce’s second cousin is the author of the Arizona law, Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, who like Monty Pearce is a Republican. The debate is putting pressure on Congress and the Obama administra- tion to act. In 2007, when states like Idaho and Kansas were making Eng- lish their official languages as part of an immigration-related push, then- President George W. Bush failed to persuade even many Republican allies in the U.S. Senate to agree to combine increased border enforcement with a path to citizenship for illegal immi- grants. President Barack Obama has called Arizona’s law irresponsible, but Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says it helped prompt him to send 1,200 National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexican border, mostly to her state. She and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., say that’s not enough. CORNING Continued from page 1A and going to part time by contracts. The contracts for City Manager Steve Kimbrough and Police Chief Tony Cardenas were rejected with a 2- 2 vote while the plan for Planning Director John Stoufer was accepted and a request for proposals for the part time job sent out. The contracts for Cardenas and Kimbrough will be coming back at a future meeting. “The savings for my contract and Tony’s would be equal to either two police officers or fire dispatch,” Kim- brough said. There is a chance Stoufer may not retire. As of Tuesday’s council meeting KIDS held at 2:00 on Thursday, July 1 at The Vineyard Christian Fellowship, 738 Walnut Street, Red Bluff (530) 527-2449. Gifts in memory of Karol may be directed to Susan G. Koman for the Cure (breast cancer).

June 28th from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers, 816 Walnut St. and Memorial Service will be Tuesday, June 29th at 10:00 AM in the Oak Hill Cemetery off of Walnut St. followed by a memorial lunch and renewing friend- ships at the CX ranch. MARS Continued from page 1A students are picked. Partici- pants work on their own time usually before or after school and must give up their physical education class once a week to meet during Mitchell’s prep peri- od. There’s not doubt in his mind that some of his stu- dents will go on the make greater contributions to the study of space, Mitchell said. “We will get some future scientists out of this,” he said. After some golf lessons on the driving range and putting green, Frantz said he takes his mentee out on the course, where they soon learn life lessons from a sport that has much to teach in the means of patience, CUTS Continued from page 1A includes those from the pub- lic works and parks depart- ment and a few in the police department. Employees in the fire department could be affected as well, though con- tract negotiations with the fire union is not due for another year. This round of cuts, the third in three years, is worse than the other cuts in that the reductions are larger and employees are taking these cuts on top of the previous McCain, Obama’s one-time presi- dential rival, says the border needs a force approaching the 6,000 soldiers sent by President Bush until 2008. Obama is asking Congress for $600 million in emergency funds for 1,000 more Border Patrol agents, 160 new federal immigration officers and two unmanned aircraft, but immigration is not at the top of his priorities this year. An Associated Press-GfK poll this month found that 85 percent of people now rank immigration as an important issue, and about half disapprove of how Obama has handled it. In Florida, Arizona’s law is a campaign issue in the GOP gubernatorial primary, with millionaire Rick Scott trumpeting its merits and Attorney General Bill McCollum saying he backs the law but that it’s not needed in his state. Mean- while, Minnesota gubernatorial candi- date Tom Emmer, the presumptive Republican nominee, called Arizona’s bill ‘‘a wonderful first step.’’ Even lawmakers in states far from the U.S.-Mexico border say illegal immigration is hurting their con- stituents. In Idaho, Monty Pearce cites one county that paid more than $100,000 for medical services for an indigent illegal immigrant. Supporters of a citi- zen initiative in Nevada say they’re motivated by the state budget crisis and record unemployment. In South Car- olina, state law enforcement officials say Mexican drug gangs are moving north from Atlanta — a problem expected to intensify given that budget cuts have left fewer resources to go toe- to-toe with armed criminal groups. And in Nebraska, where many His- panics have found work at meatpack- ing plants, some blame illegal immi- grants for draining community resources. Last week, the town of Fre- mont approved a ban on hiring or rent- ing property to illegal immigrants. State Sen. Charlie Janssen of Fre- mont plans to introduce a bill in 2011 based at least in part on Arizona’s law. He said foes of illegal immigration must gird themselves for a fight from groups like the American Civil Liber- ties Union, which has vowed to sue over Fremont’s measure. ‘‘They shout ’racism’ and try to bring down people who are trying to enforce our laws,’’ said Janssen, a Republican in Nebraska’s officially nonpartisan legislature. ‘‘It’s their scare tactic.’’ William Gheen, president of the North Carolina-based Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, said the more states that sign on, the more likely Congress will be to act. Gheen has led a grassroots campaign to get legislatures to take up Arizona’s bill and believes the topic he said he had not officially retired since retiring now could jeopardize a $4.5 million grant and litigation. The city is in the process of litigation with Tehama Herbal Collective over zoning violations and has a Sept. 15 court date for the matter. Efforts for the grant were co-lead by Stoufer and Recreation Supervisor Kimberly Beck who stepped down to pursue educational opportunities. If Beck and Stoufer were both gone there would be no one to head up the efforts for the grant. Strack said also coming into play is the savings the city made by not replac- ing Beck are roughly the same as what the savings would have been with Stoufer going to part time. While Beck will not be replaced , a handful of programs will remain under the city’s umbrella to continue under honesty and even just how to have a good time. The free program includes all golf equipment provided — clubs, balls and tees and even collared shirts. “I realized how lucky I am to be able to come out here everyday and play. What really makes me happy is that I’m sharing that with other kids,” Frantz said. If you know of a boy or girl between the ages of 7 and 13 or would like to participate in the program call 529-3800 or send an e-mail to fairwaysforfosterkids@gmail .com. ones, Nichols said. “This is going to mean real changes for the services of Red Bluff...but when we really come down to it, there’s just no choice,” Nichols said. The cuts up for discus- sion on Tuesday only affect the general fund. The budget committee is still reviewing the enterprise and special funds. “This is just the first chap- ter of the budget story,” Nichols said.

He sends regular e-mail messages urg- ing about 30,000 recipients to contact their legislators to support similar bills. Gheen claims that at least 18 states may pass Arizona-style reforms, but the National Conference of State Leg- islature calls this more a ‘‘wish list’’ than a reflection of likely success. In Pennsylvania, for instance, the issue is being pushed mostly by a single law- maker. There has been little sign that the other three states that border Mexi- co will follow Arizona’s lead. Califor- nia, New Mexico and Texas have long- established, politically powerful His- panic communities, and have seen less illegal immigration than Arizona since the 1990s, when the U.S. government added fences, stadium lights and more agents to the border in California and Texas. Arizona, a state of 6.6 million with an estimated 486,000 illegal immigrants, has been affected by the issue more than other states, said Ann Morse, who heads the National Con- ference of State Legislature’s Immi- grant Policy Project. In three years, U.S. Border Patrol agents in Arizona arrested nearly 1 mil- lion illegal immigrants, about half of all arrests on U.S. borders. More slipped past, fueling a smuggling industry that has been blamed for a steady rise in kidnappings and immigrant safehous- es. Vivek Malhotra, advocacy and pol- icy counsel for the ACLU, said she thinks the threat of Arizona-style legis- lation will continue to be a rallying cry into 2011, but believes many states ulti- mately won’t follow through for fear of repercussions. City councils in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Bloomington, Ind., are among the governments that have boycotted Arizona, refusing to do busi- ness with companies based there. Law- makers in California are considering a plan for their state to follow suit. ‘‘Nobody wants to see their state perceived as unwelcoming,’’ said Mal- hotra, whose group is suing Arizona over its law. Also lining up against state-by-state legislation are business and agriculture groups. Brent Olmstead, lobbyist for Idaho’s $2 billion dairy industry, pledged to work to kill Arizona-style reforms in Idaho in 2011 just as he did to block past bills seeking to punish companies that hire illegal workers. ‘‘The issue just gets more convolut- ed,’’ Olmstead said. ‘‘It sends a mes- sage that the Latino and Hispanic pop- ulation isn’t wanted.’’ the instructors currently in place.
