DRENON WHITNEY LYNN THOMPSON June 10 1991 - July 5, 2011 Whitney Lynn Thompson was 20 years old, bright, fun loving and funny, loved by so many. She challenged life and brought typical joy and pain as she grew up into a beautiful young woman. Wings were added to her cock- eyed halo early Tuesday morning. She was born in Chico, CA, attended Vina Elementary School, and graduated from the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology in Reno in 2009. She was a smiley, hap- py hostess at Bistro Napa, greeting and seating its clien- tele. She is survived by her mother, Jennifer Lynn Thompson (Mitch Fleischer) of Reno, her father, Jake Thompson (Laura) of Vina, CA, and her fiancé, John Hume. Her Vina grandparents are Fred and Betty Thompson. She also has a loving extended family and a "whole gaggle" of friends. Her tattoo may have said it best: Per Augusta Ad Augusta or Through Trial to Triumph. Her FaceBook page says it too: at 3PM at Galena Park. Take the second entrance to the park and proceed to the Manzanita Group Area off the Mt. Rose Highway. Friends and family are invited to bring and share their stories and photos of Whitney. Because of Whitney’s love of animals, the family sug- gests instead of flowers or gifts, that charitable donations be made to the SPCA, 4950 Spectrum Blvd., Reno, NV 89506, in memory of Whitney. I am here to touch a few people and change the world! A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Sunday, July 10th Our Father and good friend to many, passed away on 06/18/2011. Born to George and Mary Drenon 06/20/1921 in Hutch- inson, Kansas. He was preceded in death by both pa- rents, two sisters; Mamie Lavigne and Fern Dudley- Anchordoguy. Jack touched all of our lives with his kindness, wit and wonderful stories of life’s adventures and experiences. It was an honor to say that he was our father and good friend, we will miss him. Jack had many adventures with his good friends Joker Yount and Jr. Allen as a young man in Benton MO. In the 40’s he moved to CA. with his family. He met and married Jewell Faye Templeton 7/5/1946. From this mar- riage were two children, William Thomas (Tom) Drenon and Cheryl Lee Drenon. Our father was an adventurer. His two greatest wishes were to live in Alaska and own a commercial fishing boat. He was able to do accomplish both of these. He was an expert heavy duty equipment operator and mechanic. He worked in the timber industry until he retired at the age of 62. He and mom traveled in their motor home and played music with their friends until mom passed away in 2001. He later married Nadine Bennett and ex- panded his family to include Gary and Dana Bennett and their children. He continued his travels with Nadine and they had a good life together until her passing in 2010. He leaves behind two children, Tom Drenon and wife Vicki, Cheryl Merrill and husband Dean. Three grandchil- dren; Matthew Drenon, Toni Drenon and Erick Scheffler and three great grandchildren. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date to al- low time for all family members and friends to be pres- ent.

RV ‘destroyed’ in I-5 crash By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer A 54-year-old Idaho man was flown to Enloe Med- ical Center in Chico following a crash at 8:45 a.m. Fri- day that started on the southbound side of Interstate 5, ending on the northbound side, just south of Red Bluff. Jeffrey Bass was uninjured, but was disoriented and taken to Enloe as a precautionary measure, said Cali- fornia Highway Patrol Officer Phillip Mackintosh. Bass was driving south on I-5 in the slow lane when for unknown reasons he allowed his motorhome to cross into the center median, across both northbound lanes and onto the right shoulder of the northbound lanes. The vehicle launched off a small embankment on the shoulder and rolled upon the impact of landing, sus- taining major damage and strewing debris, Mackintosh said. “It was pretty much destroyed,” Mackintosh said. According to the CHP Website, Caltrans was noti- fied that between 50-60 feet of fence line was damaged by the 20 foot class B motorhome. The Website also showed a resident reported that the man was trapped and fuel was leaking. Mackintosh confirmed there was fuel leaking, but said it was a minimal amount. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. CARE TO COMMENT?

Coupal said the state can authorize local govern- ments to impose tax increas- es, but the state may not impose a tax for local pur- poses. ‘‘Fire protection is a quin- tessential local government function,’’ Coupal said. Associated Press Betty Ford said things that first ladies just don’t say, even today. And 1970s America loved her for it. According to Mrs. Ford, her young adult children probably had smoked mari- juana — and if she were their age, she’d try it, too. She told ‘‘60 Minutes’’ she wouldn’t be surprised to learn that her youngest, 18- year-old Susan, was in a sexual relationship (an embarrassed Susan issued a denial). She mused that living together before marriage might be wise, thought women should be drafted into the military if men were, and spoke up unapologetically for abor- tion rights, taking a position contrary to the president’s. ‘‘Having babies is a bless- ing, not a duty,’’ Mrs. Ford said. The former first lady, whose triumph over drug and alcohol addiction became a beacon of hope for addicts and the inspira- tion for her Betty Ford Cen- ter in California, died at age 93, family friend Marty H.D. Palmer, Brown’s finance spokesman, said the fee is appropriate because the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protec- tion provides an added ben- efit to rural property owners by attacking wildfires before it reaches residential areas. The bill directs CalFire, as the department is com- monly known, to form a working group made up of legislative staff, department Allen said Friday. Details of her death and where she died were not immediately available, and Allen, chairman emeritus of the Ford Foundation, said he would not comment fur- ther until he received instruction from the family. ‘‘She was a wonderful wife and mother; a great friend; and a courageous First Lady,’’ former Presi- dent George H.W. Bush said in a statement on Fri- day. ‘‘No one confronted life’s struggles with more fortitude or honesty, and as a result, we all learned from the challenges she faced.’’ While her husband served as president, Betty Ford’s comments weren’t the kind of genteel, innocu- POOL Continued from page 1A ner off the fence is just shocking.” Pool staff has since retied the banners to the fence.

The governor said he was signing the bill even though the Legislatures needs to make some changes. The current bill dictates the fee be used for fire prevention, such as carving out defensi- ble space for structures, rather than wildland fire pro- ous talk expected from a first lady, and a Republican one no less. Her unscripted comments sparked tem- pests in the press and dis- mayed President Gerald Ford’s advisers, who were trying to soothe the national psyche after Watergate. But to the scandal-scarred, Viet- nam-wearied, hippie-rattled nation, Mrs. Ford’s open- ness was refreshing. Candor worked for Betty Ford, again and again. She would build an enduring legacy by opening up the toughest times of her life as public example. In an era when cancer was discussed in hushed tones and mastectomy was still a taboo subject, the first lady shared the specifics of tection, Palmer said. In his veto message, Brown defined the charge essentially as a fee for ser- vice, providing a possible counter argument to any challenge of the Legisla- ture’s action. ‘‘A fee consistent with the ‘beneficiary pays principle,’ such as the one intended in this bill, can achieve signifi- cant general fund savings,’’ he said. Former first lady Betty Ford dies at 93 her breast cancer surgery. The publicity helped bring the disease into the open and inspired countless women to seek breast examinations. Her most painful revela- tion came 15 months after leaving the White House, when Mrs. Ford announced that she was entering treat- ment for a longtime addic- tion to painkillers and alco- hol. It turned out the famously forthcoming first lady had been keeping a secret, even from herself.
