Filing FROM PAGE 1 Tehama County Sheriff's Senior Chaplain Gil DeLaO said the signs will allow Quirk's sacrifice to be re- membered daily thousands of times. That point was backed up by a handful of Quirk's former coworkers who at- tended the ceremony along with family from across the county and numerous law enforcement officials. Farrow said the heavy presence of the latter was proof of the bond law en- forcement agencies have with one another. Ken Quirk, who followed in his father's footsteps to pursue a career in law en- forcement, said for years he felt a disconnect with the CHP. But since the finding that his father had died in the line of duty he once again feels a part of the CHP family. "CHP is probably the greatest agency there is," Ken said. State Senator Jim Nielsen echoed that sentiment, say- ing the CHP is the most professional of all law en- forcement agencies he has worked with. "You care about being the best," he said. Nielsen also used the cer- emony as a chance to speak about the challenges facing law enforcement across Cal- ifornia. Hesaidtherearethemost challenging times in the his- tory of the state and said the cuffs have been taken off the criminals and put on law en- forcement. Assemblyman Dan Logue, who authored the resolution to rename a por- tion of the interstate, said despite never meeting or knowingthemanpersonally he recognized that through his service Quirk had given everything for him. Service was a large part of Quirk's life. Born in 1922 he joined the US Navy at the age of 20 and, after completing flight school, was a com- missioned Lieutenant JG and served in the Pacific Theater of World War II as an aircraft commander of B-24 heavy bombers. He was discharged from the Navy in 1947 and at- tended DePaul University and Ball State University. He moved to San Diego in 1951 to work at the Con- solidated Aircraft Com- pany. Four years later he joined the CHP serving in the Compton and south Los Angeles areas before transferring to Red Bluff in 1963. He is survived by his wife Patricia and five chil- dren, Michael, Sheila, Dan, Phil and Ken.

Educators attending the teacher institutes develop primary-source-based teaching strategies that they can take back to their school districts, apply in the class- room and share with col- leagues. Teaching with pri- mary sources is a power- ful way to help students ask engaged, probing questions, develop critical-thinking skills, and gain knowledge. All educators can access classroom materials, teach- ing tools and strategies for teaching with primary sources from the Library's site for teachers at www.loc. gov/teachers/. Applicants reflect the di- versity of the world of K-12 education. Participants in a teacher institute session typically include school li- brary media specialists and schooladministrators,inad- ditiontoclassroomteachers. Those selected come from many different states, repre- senting large metropolitan school districts and smaller, rural school districts. The expertise provided by the Library of Congress during the institutes can benefit ev- ery level of K-12 education. Primary sources are the raw materials of history — original documents and ob- jects that were created at the time under study. They aredifferentfromsecondary sources — accounts or inter- pretations of events created by someone without first- hand experience. Students working with primary sources become engaged learners while building critical-thinking skills and constructing new knowledge. Teachers work- ing in the Library's collec- tions will explore the larg- est online collection of his- torical artifacts with access to millions of unique pri- mary sources for use in in- struction. The Library of Congress, the nation's oldest federal cultural institution, is the world's preeminent reser- voir of knowledge, provid- ing unparalleled integrated resources to Congress and the American people.

"Widely recognized as the sports broadcaster for KBLF Radio during the football, basketball, and baseball seasons, as well as the announcer for the es- teemed Red Bluff Round-Up annual rodeo event, George was a proud lifetime mem- ber of Red Bluff Elks Lodge No. 1250 and the California Teachers Association," the resolution states. Froome taught at Bidwell School for many years, and helped secure funding to maintain the Pauline Da- vis Pavilion at the Tehama District Fairground, ac- cording to an obituary that was published in the Daily News in May. Jim Howell, director of the Round-Up Museum, said Froome was a great leader. "If you wanted some- thing done, George would do it," said Howell, who added that he worked with Froome for three years while the as the museum was being constructed. "He made a director out of me." Among those to ac- knowledge the resolu- tion were one of Froome's sons, David, his daugh- ter-in-law, Donna, his niece, Kathy Froome Si- bert, Round-Up director Jolene Kemen, Secretary and Treasurer Paul Wood and Frank Moore, presi- dent emeritus of the Red Bluff Round-Up board of directors. George Froome was the Round-Up program direc- tor from 1986 until he re- signed in 2013, and was president of the Round- Up Museum and Histori- cal Society from 1999 to his death earlier this year, said Sibert, administra- tive assistant at the mu- seum.

By Donna Cassata The Associated Press WASHINGTON Main- stream conservatives ran the table in Senate Re- publican primaries as tea party upstarts lost all six challenges to GOP incum- bents, leaving the estab- lishment upbeat about midterm elections and the insurgent movement beaten but unbowed. Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander's narrow win Thursday night and Kan- sas Sen. Pat Roberts' tri- umph on Tuesday dashed the tea party's last hopes of knocking out a sitting senator. Earlier this year, incumbents prevailed in Texas, Kentucky, South Carolina and Mississippi for a party intent on nom- inating viable candidates and winning Senate con- trol in November's con- tests. Republicans need to net six seats for the majority. Democrats currently hold a 55-45 advantage. "The last two cycles we nominated some peo- ple who were not the best candidates for the general election," Senate Minor- ity Leader Mitch McCo- nnell, R-Ky., told report- ers during a campaign stop in Hindman, Ken- tucky. "In 2014, I'm hard- pressed to think of a single state where we don't have the best nominee possible in order to do what this is all about, which is to actu- ally get elected and make policy. "We had a good cycle so far, it doesn't guarantee the outcome," he said. Republicans blame tea partyers and flawed candi- dates for squandering the party's shot at Senate con- trol in 2010 and 2012, espe- cially in Delaware, Nevada, Colorado, Missouri and In- diana. Months ago, McCo- nnell vowed to "crush" tea party candidates, and the National Republican Sena- torial Committee invested money, staff and time, in- cluding more than 40,000 phone calls in Kansas in the final three weeks of the campaign. Tea partyers and other outside groups acknowl- edged the beat down. "If you kind of look at this like a baseball game, you guys totally struck out, done, you're gone," said Daniel Horowitz, a strategist who formerly worked with the Madison Project, one of several con- servative groups that have spent money against GOP incumbents. By comparison, tea par- tyers and outside groups upended Sen. Rich- ard Lugar of Indiana in 2012. The 2010 midterms claimed Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah, who lost at a party convention, and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who later won re-election as a write-in candidate. GOVERNMENT Mainstream GOP upbeat a er sweeping tea party EVAN VUCCI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Former White House press secretary James Brady, who was le paralyzed in the Reagan assassination attempt, is seen during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington in 2011. By Brett Zongker The Associated Press WASHINGTON T his week's death of former White House press sec- retary James Brady, who survived a gunshot wound to the head in a 1981 as- sassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, has been ruled a homicide by a medical examiner, District of Columbia po- lice said Friday. John Hinckley Jr. shot Brady, who lived through hours of delicate surgery and further operations over the past 33 years, but never regained nor- mal use of his limbs and was often in a wheelchair. Nancy Bull, district ad- ministrator for the Vir- ginia medical examiner's office, which made the rul- ing, declined to disclose the results of the autopsy and referred inquiries to District police. An au- topsy revealed the cause of death to be a gunshot wound and its health con- sequences, and the man- ner of death was ruled a homicide, according to a news release from Dis- trict police spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump. Besides partial paral- ysis from brain damage, Brady suffered short- term memory impair- ment, slurred speech and constant pain. His fam- ily said he died Monday at age 73 from a series of health issues. Crump said the department was noti- fied of the homicide rul- ing Friday. Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981, just two months into the new president's term. Reagan nearly died from a chest wound. Three oth- ers, including Brady, were struck by bullets from Hinckley's handgun. Reagan aide Jim Brady's death ruled homicide SHOOTING AndrewE.McClure February 23, 1939 - August 6, 2014 Andrew E.
