Officer's widow writes kids book By TANG LOR DN Staff Writer A young boy exploring his new neighborhood gets lost and finds a new friend in Officer Frank, who helps him get home safely. Before Officer Frank takes the boy home he is invit- ed on a day-long adventure that highlights the many things police officers do for their communities. The friendship between Officer Frank and Luke are part of a new children's book, "Being Safe With Offi- cer Frank," which will be released Sept. 13. The book is for people to understand the many things police officers do for them and the communities they serve, beyond what the media and TV shows por- tray, author Linda Mobilio-Keeling said. "Many people don't have an understanding of what they do for our communities," Mobilio-Keeling said. "It makes me sad and angry that they are targeted for what they do." Mobilio-Keeling knows firsthand the sacrifices offi- cers make to protect those they serve. She is the widow of Officer David Frank Mobilio, a patrol and Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer with the Red Bluff Police Department who was killed in the line of duty Nov. 19, 2002. The book is more than a tribute to Mobilio, she said. It is really about educating children and providing a teaching tool for law enforcement to use with school- aged children. "This is just something positive I can do out of something bad that happened," Mobilio-Keeling said.

Adding to the mix this year was a concerted effort to raise donations for the Los Molinos Library that has been threatened with closure recently. Looking back and ahead, America remembers 9/11 NEW YORK (AP) — Determined never to for- get but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gen- tly handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago. In New York, Washing- ton and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people car- ried out rituals now as familiar as they are heart- breaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq. President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacri- fice of the Civil War. Vice President Joe Biden said hope must grow from tragedy. And Jessica Rhodes talked about her niece, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggest- ed that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner. ''Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends,'' Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero. ''Today we honor her by letting go of the sadness over losing her and embracing the joy of hav- ing known her.'' It was the 10th time the nation has paused to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life — and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive ter- rorist who masterminded the attack. ''These past 10 years tell a story of resilience,'' Obama said at a memorial concert at the Kennedy Center after he visited all three attack sites. ''It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and emerged stronger,'' he said. The anniversary took place under heightened security.

The quilt will be given away to one winner on Dec. 5 at the Los Molinos Chamber of Commerce holiday mixer, Gallagher said. By Saturday after- noon, the raffle had already raised more than $200. "I think it will work and we'll earn some money," she said. Gallagher was moved to do something after hearing that the library might close. "I thought it would be such a shame to lose that little library," she said. Another library sup- porter, Stephani Schaeffer of Los Molinos, was at the event selling signed copies of "Fog & Woodsmoke: Behind the Image," a book of poetry and photography she edit- ed and contributed to. She was donating all proceeds from copies sold Satur- day, splitting them between the Tehama County Museum and the Los Molinos Library. Members of the Los Molinos Women's Club were working nearby to auction pies during the Jubilee as a benefit for the library. Barbara Whitten headed the auction that raised more than $1,000 Saturday selling more than 55 pies, all of which were made and donated by volunteers. The Women's Club also served slices of pie Daily News photo by Andrea Wagner The Tehama County Community Band performed during the Tehama County Museum Day Jubilee Saturday in Tehama. with ice cream as a regu- lar part of the annual event. Ida Knowles of Gerber donated the ice cream, as she had for the past 20 years, said Theresa Ben- son, another member of the club.
