RICHGREENE-DAILYNEWS Ken Quirk and Patricia Quirk look on during a flag ceremony Friday at the Memorial Highway Dedication Ceremony for Robert J. Quirk at the Tehama County Veterans Hall. Quirk ByRichGreene rgreene@redbluffdailynews. com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF Dignitaries from across the state gath- ered Friday to formally dedicate a portion of In- terstate 5 in the honor of California Highway Patrol Officer Robert J. Quirk. Quirk was a Red Bluff area CHP officer when he died in the line-of-duty in 1971. However his death wasn't ruled a line-of-duty death until 40 years later when his son, Phil, for- mally requested the CHP reconsider the circum- stances. Quirk was on duty April 10, 1971 when he was in- volved in a foot pursuit of three suspects off of State Route 36. Quirk single- handedly apprehended all three suspects, but later that night began experi- encing chest pains. He worked the remain- der of his shift and 11 hours after the incident suffered a heart attack on Easter Sunday and died. CHP Commissioner Jo- seph Farrow said at Fri- day's ceremony, held at the Tehama County Veterans Hall, that although some 40 years have passed, no one has forgotten Quirk's sacrifice. Signs marking the "CHP Officer Robert J. Quirk Me- morial Highway" will be located on northbound I-5 just south of Hooker Creek and on the southbound side just north of Sunset Hills. DEDICATION REMEMBERING THE FALLEN By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF Only two candidates have filed for three open seats on the Red Bluff City Council. Mayor Daniele Jackson and Councilman Rob Schmid have filed to run for reelection in the Nov. 4 Consolidated General Election. Council- man Wayne Brown did not file paperwork to run for reelection. He previously said he would not run again. Because one incumbent did not file for the race, the filing period will be extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday.
