It was such a great experience overall.” Marinelli said she enjoyed seeing how all the rodeos are different and unique in their own way, but really liked working with her hometown rodeo in Red Bluff. “I enjoyed working with the kids and watching them interact with rodeo,” Marinelli said. “It was good to see families come out and enjoy spending time with each other.” During her tenure, Marinelli learned a lot, she said. “I learned to be a good influence for others and about overcoming insecurities and have grown into the person I’d really like to be on top of learning about the rodeo and how the circuit works,” she said. Marinelli said she is grateful for and wants to thank her family, her sponsors and the community for their support. She also is pleased to be able to pass on a gift she was given. “It’s not about the crown and the buckle,” Marinelli said. “The true gift you get is the experience of Viewing is scheduled for Monday the 4th of October from 5:00 - 7:00 PM, with a Rosary to be held at 7:00 PM at Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers on Walnut St. Funeral services will be held Tues the 5th of Octo- ber at 10:00 AM at Hoyt- Cole Chapel of the Flowers.

While he reflected on the services his father provided, which was sometimes more than just medical assistance, and life in Corning back in those days, a few in the audi- ence got teary-eyed, but mostly they were happy to finally see the building up and running. “This is something my folks would be very proud of,” Meuser said. The health center will now serve as a one-stop building for health and social services for Tehama’s south county residents. All county services for children, adoles- being with people in a setting you love to be in, which is rodeo and the cents and adults, along with programs such as Quest Diagnostics and Children First, will be there. Clients will be able to get a wide array of services from coun- seling to medical treatment at the center. In the five years that it took to complete the project there has been several chal- lenges, but the Corning Healthcare District Board pushed ahead, Board Presi- dent Pat Rasmussen said. “Now that it’s complete, it’s just wonderful and we’re just very excited,” she said. District Manager Shirley Fay shared the same senti- ments saying she was excit- ed to finally see the building open. Corning residents who used to travel all up and down the city or go all the way to Red Bluff will now only have to go to one place. “It will be a great asset to 99E Continued from page 1A Paving continues for two more weeks on the east side of Highway 99E but starting in November it moves to the west side, followed by putting in crosswalks at Orange and Grant streets, Rogers said. A new traffic signal at the intersection with Ara- mayo should be finished by the end of October, he said. Phase one of the $1.6 million project, funded by Prop. 1B and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, includes shoulder widening, a raised island at Palm Street and other elements to help slow traffic. Lead consultant Mike Notestine of Mogravero Notestine Associates in Sacramento and Steve Weinberger of W-Trans in Santa Rosa have been working with residents. “We want to hear where your priorities are,” Notestine said. Weinberger suggested looking at ways to slow traffic down and let peo- ple know they are enter- ing a town, enhancing pedestrian crosswalks with signs, lighting and striping to maximize visi- bility and adding tree wells or some type of low maintenance landscaping to break up parking. The project has enough money for the main com- ponents of phase two, but is still looking for grants to put in more sidewalks, said Barbara O’Keeffe, deputy director of the Tehama County Trans- portation Commission. “The money we have left can do part of the west side of Tehama Vina Road to Aramayo Way or the east side from Grant Street to Aramayo Way,” Rogers said. “We’d like to know which you think would be better.” Most said it would be better to do Aramayo to Grant.

Safe Routes to School program. What discourages par- ents from letting children walk to school are dis- tance, traffic danger, weather and fear of crime, he said. The percentage of chil- dren walking to school has dropped from 42 per- cent in 1969 to 16 percent in 2001, which has conse- quences for the environ- ment and children’s health, Zykofsky said. Zykofsky encouraged getting a group to identify issues for children walk- ing to school, find a solu- tion, make a plan and get funding to act on the plan. Concerns brought up by residents included parking for big rigs. They were assured there would be designated spots for them. As part of phase two, Caltrans plans to desig- nate specific areas to serve as driveways for businesses when the new curb and gutter is put in. Los Molinos Chamber of Commerce President Betty Morales was con- cerned that the driveways wouldn’t be big enough for big rigs. “We will meet with every business owner individually to find out the needs of each,” Rogers said. Participants were split into four groups and given a map to mark out locations where they had safety concerns or wanted to see a sidewalk or asphalt pathway put in. The first group was concerned about Orange Street flooding and want- ed a four-way stop sign at Stanford Avenue and Orange. The second group, mostly parents, was con- cerned with speeders on Sherwood Boulevard who “drive like bats out of hell” the group’s spokes- woman said. Morales said there are more streetlights and stop signs needed, especially at the south end of town, and signage for the ele- mentary school. Donna Wallan said her group found a need for a sidewalk or asphalt path- way on Tehama Vina Road and areas closer to the school. More information on the project is available at the community kiosk at Grant Street by the bus stop and a bulletin board at Nu-Way Market. For general questions call Rogers at 225-2455.

County Supervisor Bob Williams said he has long pushed for consolidation of county services, and having this one-stop building for both health and social ser- vices is a great example of accomplishing that goal. With an estimated 24,000 annual visitors, the building will serve a great purpose. Those who will work in the building are celebrating as well. The place is an upgrade providing twice as much space for social ser- vices staff, who will take up almost half of the building, said Teresa Curiel, chief deputy director of social ser- vices. Prior to moving into the building, social services was housed at two separate locations, but now clients will not have to run all over the place for service.
