The department held a gradua- tion ceremony for the 10 cadets at the State Theatre here. It was the 14th Firefighter-I Academy con- ducted by the department, and the first since 2009. "Cadets, you've accomplished something," Red Bluff fire Chief Jon Bennett said during the cer- emony. "But what you've accom- plished getting to this point is not quite as important as what you're going to do with your skills in the PUBLIC SAFETY 10 graduate from Red Bluff fire academy RollingHillsremainsopen;sheriff'sdeputiessurroundparkinglots By Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews.com @editorchip on Twitter CORNING Uniformed and armed members of the Paskenta "Tribal Police" took up posi- tions around Rolling Hills Ca- sino parking lots here around 6 a.m. Monday but were held out of the casino by security officers. A press release from the fac- tion represented by the police force said the action was being taken in the interest of public safety and that uniformed per- sonnel were in the process of "physically closing" the casino. As of 11 a.m., the casino re- mained open to the public and it had not been closed, said Kate Grissom, the casino's marketing director. A Daily News reporter ob- served the casino was still open mid-afternoon. As a show of support, tribal members were staging a picnic in front of the main entrance with free hot dogs for casino-go- ers. Many wore T-shirts with the word "Unbroken" on the back.

CHIP THOMPSON — DAILY NEWS By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter CORNING On the anniversary of D-Day Friday, Corning High School's Class of 2014 was told to go forth in life with the same conviction the allied soldiers who stormed beaches along Normandy displayed. "I hope you will move for- ward with the same heart and fervor that these soldiers dem- onstrated 70 years ago," Corn- ing High School Principal Char- lie Troughton said. More than 200 seniors gradu- ated from Corning High School on Friday, and parents, friends, guardians and other well-wish- ers packed the bleachers at the high school's field to cheer for the school's Class of 2014. Valedictorians Audrey Mora, Nicholas Hoag, Monique Davis and Kaitlyn Huntley banded to- gether to deliver a graduation speech that focused on "mem- ories, futures, legacies and des- tinies," as Huntley put it. "Many of the memories have been forged through the tra- ditions we have here at Corn- ing," Huntley said. "These tradi- tions were here when my grand- father attended Corning in the '30s, continued with my par- ents in the '80s, exist today, and will still be continued when my younger sister attends Corning in 2020." She added that at Corning High's biggest tradition, home- coming ceremonies, Friday's graduating class showed its competitive side as freshmen, winning the school's Spirit Stick with a show of Corning pride and angering upperclass- men. Mora said her fellow graduat- ing Cardinals would agree that their time in high school has flown by. And on Friday, "We have all earned our wings." She added that wherever the members of Corning High's 2014 class move on to, whether it be college, a career, or mil- itary service, the paths taken will have one thing in common — "The ability to find success and happiness wherever they choose to land." Hoag told graduates that in order to leave a legacy, people must become themselves. "It's a new chapter in our lives," Hoag said. "And we have a blank page to write our own story." Davis said the choices the Class of 2014 have made over the years has led to one moment — graduation. "We took risks. Did stupid things," Davis said. "Formed opinions, then changed our minds many times about those opinions. Learned who we are. Made mistakes. Figured out life, then realized we had no clue what life really is about. Made friends. Grew apart. Ex- perienced Pain. Showed kind- ness. Shed tears. Shared smiles and laughs. Procrastinated. Fell asleep during class. Battled it out in sports. Worked hard, and then worked even harder as those four years came to a close."
