Frank was born September 26, 1924 in What Cheer, Iowa to H.Vaughn and Elsie M. Wilson. Prior to his first birthday, the family moved back to Southern California to embrace the California life style. Frank grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Dor- on Sunday, November 13, 2011 at the age of 62 with her family by her side. Born in Guernsey, Wyoming to Vernon and Inez Wil- liamson. Patsy worked very hard at whatever she did. She worked as a waitress for many years. She helped start two businesses, the first business was in the 80's running a flea market. Her and husband Joe started a logging company in Ida- ho in 1990. She lived in Charlettsville, VA where she had three of her four children, and in 1976 moved to Red Bluff, CA and had her fourth child. She moved to Idaho in 1990. She finally made a full circle and made it back home to Corning. Her favorite hobby was dancing, where she had many friends. She was the belle of the ball. PATSY LOUISE McCOY(1948-2011) Patsy McCoy passed away at her home in Corning, CA sey High. He enrolled in college at USC and during his first year felt the need and pull to serve his country as a patriot. He enlisted in the Army Air Corp, and served in the Asiatic Pacific Theater from December 1944 through February 1946. He was honorably discharged with the grade of Sargent and was placed on Inactive Status. He found his soul mate and friend Elizabeth (Betty) Marie Rogers, married in September 1948, and they started a family with their first child Susan. In September 1950, he was reactivated into the USAF and sent to Japan where he received the Korean Service Medal. Honorably discharged again, he was separated with the rank of Staff Sargent. Franklin entered the private sector increased the size of BOY Continued from page 1A detector," said CalFire Battalion Chief Greg Gutierrez, the lead investigator on the fire. "The 14-year-old boy, the grandson of the victim, got up to find the alarm acti- vating and went in to see what was going on. He saw the fire when an appliance fell into the window." The fire started in an exterior wall, said Gutierrez. "The boy went to the grandfather's room and tried to push his bed, which has wheels, but the wheels were locked and he couldn't get them unlocked," Gutierrez said. The boy also tried getting a garden hose to battle the blaze, but was unable to get it to work because it is powered by a well, Gutierrez said. The boy then tried to get his grandfather into a chair, but was unable to do so because of Loehr's size in com- parison to the boy's, Gutierrez said. The boy then went outside and called 911 before try- ing to get in one more time, but was unable to do so. "I'm very impressed with the young man," Gutierrez said. "He really tried hard and made a valiant attempt." Tuesday's fire is a reminder of just how important it is to have smoke alarms and fire sprinklers in not only stick built homes, but manufactured ones as well, he said. "The smoke alarm did save his life," Gutierrez said. "He's lucky he made it out. This fire is a prime exam- ple of how fast fires move. It's not like the movies. A lot of people see the movies where people walk in to the fire and don't realize how acrid it is and how quickly you can be overwhelmed by the smoke." The cause of the fire was still under investigation Patsy is survived by her husband of 19 years, Joseph McCoy; her daughters; Gale Ebersole (John) of Gerber, CA; Lisa Mosier (Steve) of Magalia, CA; Amie Boles (Ran- dy) of Corning, CA; Johnnie Matherly (Steve) of Redding, CA. Patsy had 11 grandchildren with one on the way and 2 great grandchildren with one on the way. She is also survived by her sister Cathy Williamson, and brother Vern Williamson.

CSU Continued from page 1A notice, she said. ''The security situation got out of hand,'' said Assistant Chancellor Robert Turnage. ''There was a legitimate concern about security for many people.'' The hike will raise tuition at the 23-campus system by $498, bringing the annual bill to $5,970. CSU's funding has been slashed by $650 million over the past two years, causing tuition to rise by 23 percent and enrollment to be slashed by 10,000 students. The University of Cali- fornia system is in similar financial straits. On Wednesday, a group of about 75 student leaders and a few administrators from the University of California Berkeley and Davis visited Sacramento to lobby lawmakers to restore funding for higher education. The CSU chaos broke out when some two dozen protesters refused to stop speaking at the end of the public comment session. The group chanted ''we are the 99 percent'' and held up posters reading ''make banks pay.'' During the meeting, they had heckled trustees who voiced support for the tuition hike and loudly cheered those who said they did not back it. CSU officers herded the unruly group out of the building, where they joined another group of protesters who were beat- ing drums and chanting. Officers tried to close the glass doors to prevent protesters from entering, which caused demonstra- tors to hang on to the han- dles to keep them open. A shoving scuffle erupted, and officers used pepper spray, according to witnesses. Several people tumbled through the doors, where they were quickly handcuffed with plastic ties and taken into custody. When officers again tried to close the glass doors, the struggle resumed, causing the glass to buckle and shatter. Long Beach police arrived in riot gear and formed a phalanx in front of the building as protest- ers dispersed and the situ- ation quieted. The demonstration was his family with sons Richard and Robert, and became a small business owner of Washington Escrow in L.A. In the mid 1960's he relocated his family, joining other relatives in Newport Beach. Franklin became a successful financial advisor and retired from the industry in 1989. Having property in Cottonwood, Nor Cal was calling him, and he and Betty relocated to Tehama in 1990. Frank loved the outdoors and an evening hatch. He made a number of close friends camping near and fishing on the many lakes and rivers in the Lassen, Tehama, Trinity, and Shasta play- ground. He was involved in the community as a member of the Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, in Corning, the Red Bluff Elks, and the Tehama Shooters Association. Frank is survived by his wife of 63 years, Betty Wilson; Wednesday, Colburn said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

Turnage said he under- stood protesters' concerns. ''I understand why peo- ple are frustrated, but a lot of this energy is mis- placed,'' Turnage said. ''It needs to be directed at people who have decision- making power over taxes.'' Several trustees said increasing tuition was let- ting the state Legislature off the hook of funding the 412,000-student system. ''We should not be com- plicit in offering them a way out,'' said trustee Bernadette Cheyne. But others noted that although they did not want to raise tuition, the system had to remain fiscally sol- vent. ''It's predictable the Legislature won't fund us,'' said trustee Roberta Achtenberg. ''We have an institution to run.'' It is the system's ninth tuition increase in nine years. With campus fees added in, the total cost for undergraduates will be more than $7,000 for the full year. Elaine Nadalin, a soci- ology student at CSU Long Beach, was among students opposing the hike. ''Students are the least able to subsidize these increases. Some of us will be barred from accessing higher education,'' said Nadalin, a member of the group Students for a Qual- ity Education. International studies student Michelle Woody said the quality of CSU education was at stake. ''It's an attack on our institution,'' she said. ''What will our degrees be worth in a couple years? Our pieces of paper will be just that.'' Cal State officials said the availability of financial aid means about 45 per- cent of the university sys- tem's 412,000 students won't be affected by the tuition hike. The tuition hike comes as faculty from two cam- puses made plans to walk off the job Thursday to protest Cal State's with- holding of contractual pay raises for faculty mem- bers. One such plan is for the city to take ownership of the federally-owned Red Bluff Recreation Area and create an off- highway vehicle park. Officials from the city, U.S. Bureau of Reclama- tion and U.S. Forest Ser- vice were supposed to Continued from page 1A who loves to sing.

The set, which took at least four hours to paint, was a collaborative effort, said Joe Palubeski, who teaches ROP Stagecraft. Students from ROP Con- struction Crew, under the direction of Dave Rotten- berg, created the set and Palubeski's Stagecraft class constructed it and rigged the scenery, Palubeski said. "It's very easy to appreci- ate the visual effects and convincing portrayals of the actors because they're pre- sented right before your eyes," Palubeski said. "However, it is the talents of people you do not see that truly bring a performance to life." Diane Penner and her team painted the set, Sherry King headed up the wardrobe and makeup team and many of the costumes were sewn by Gambetta, Palubeski said. "The dedication and pro- fessionalism these students and adults bring to this pro- duction demonstrate their commitment and desire to enhance an extraordinary experience for our audi- ence," Palubeski said.

California upholds quarantine of raw milk products FRESNO (AP) — State officials on Wednesday upheld a recall and quaran- tine of raw milk products from a California dairy after three children were sent to hospitals with E.coli poi- soning in the nation's latest outbreak related to the unpasteurized product. The ruling came at a hearing by the California Department of Food and Agriculture after the owner of Organic Pastures Dairy Co. appealed for the recall to be lifted. ''This happened two to James W.

The company sells 2,400 gallons of raw milk a day in California. It does not ship any milk products to other states. Consumer demand for raw milk has soared in recent years, leading several states to adopt stricter stan- dards to regulate the milk and crack down on unli- censed farmers selling it to friends and neighbors.

Main St. Thirty states currently allow some sort of raw milk sales. Raw milk enthusiasts such as McAfee say pas- teurization kills bacteria beneficial to human health and argue that raw milk is medicinal and can treat everything from asthma to autism. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, warns that raw milk can cause illness or death, with infants, the elderly, pregnant women and those with weak immune systems especially vulnerable. From 1998 through 2008, the CDC reported 1,676 illnesses due to con- sumption of raw milk or raw milk products. No deaths were reported. However, two deaths occurred due to consump- tion of queso fresco — cheese made with unpas- teurized milk. During the same time period, pasteur- ized milk products caused 2,494 illnesses and four deaths. The California Depart- ment of Food and Agricul- ture said laboratory samples of Organic Pastures raw milk had not detected the strain of E. coli that sick- ened the children. Samples of the milk actually con- sumed by the children also didn't reveal E.coli. However, interviews with the families of five children infected with the strain between August and October indicated the only common food exposure in the two weeks before illness was to Organic Pastures raw milk, state officials said. Since raw milk consump- tion is not common in the general population, officials said, it was unlikely that chance alone would explain the findings, the officials said. The sickened children are residents of Contra Costa, Kings, Sacramento and San Diego counties. Located in Chico, CA Combining Quality and Low Cost is what we do. 529-3655 www.affordablemortuary.net
