Deathnotices An article published in Saturday's edition regard- ing the city of Red Bluff's proposed 2015-2016 bud- get was accompanied by a misleading headline. The City Council on Tuesday, May 5, is scheduled to con- sider how revenue from a voter-approved, quarter- percent sales tax increase that went into effect April 1 could be spent. No ad- ditional tax increases are scheduled to be consid- ered. The Daily News regrets the error.

"We're hoping to grow the event and be more like the Dairyville Orachard Festi- val. We'd like to showcase that we are a small coun- try school with big school resources." The ability to add a mu- sic teacher and a physical education program comes in part through joining the Evergreen Elementary School District a few years ago, she said. In one corner, Driscoll's Strawberries employees painted faces and helped people make recycled art while at another booth chil- dren were decorating pots like the Dr. Seuss charac- ter The Lorax and planting seeds in them. California Highway Pa- trol was available in an- other booth to talk with visitors about safety and do car seat checks. Partic- ipants also had the chance toward the middle of the day to participate in a clean-up of the area. Music teacher Abbie Ehorn was at the event with a drumming circle booth near Cal Fire, which was hoping to not only get in- formation on fire safety out to visitors, but to get much needed volunteers. The Bend fire station used to have a water ten- der and an engine, but now there is just one vol- unteer in the area who has become a part of the Ante- lope volunteers of Tehama County Fire, Antelope Fire Chief Walt Williams said. The hope is to be able to re-open the station. "Eddie lives here and he has a trauma kit," Williams said. "It takes him 10 min- utes less time to get here and assess the scene than it does the paid engine out of Red Bluff." Like Dairyville, Paskenta and other smaller stations that have declined in vol- unteers to the point of not having enough to keep the station open, there is a huge need for volunteers, he said. It takes 160 hours of initial training plus yearly train- ing to be a volunteer. "I do it because it's something the commu- nity needs," Williams said. "There is a crisis brewing and at some point there may come a time when you dial 911 and no one shows up because there aren't the volunteers to fill in when the paid engines are com- mitted. It's a very good re- lationship we have with Cal Fire, but we have been down to four paid units (county-wide) at times." Eco FROM PAGE 1 iff's Boating Unit, CHP air support, Cal-Fire, and Search and Rescue was coordinated. Witnesses last saw him swimming near the bridge support pylons when they saw him struggling to keep his head above the wa- ter. Witnesses said they saw his head go under the water and he did not emerge. Efforts to locate Freis- ner continued until vis- ibility was compromised by darkness, however, he was not located until 1:30 p.m. Monday when the department received a re- port of a body under the bridge about 1:30 p.m., Borden said. Jeremy Coffman was out on a boat for a day of fishing on Monday when he discovered the man, who had yellow rope around him, he said. A woman and her son who had released a turtle on the bank nearby had stopped along the bridge to look for it when they spotted the body and flagged him down, Coff- man said. Coffman did not see the body at first because it was bobbing up and down at the time, he said. Body FROM PAGE 1 cle for an upcoming com- mercial. The car is on a 13-month stretch with no contracts so on Saturday he was advertising that people can rent the vehicle for proms, graduations and weddings. The Dunns brought sev- eral vehicles and Peter Vin- cent, who was responsible for talking to visitors about General Lee, was enjoying showing off the car, espe- cially the horn, he said. While Saturday's show was great, Peter Dunn said the highlight of his trip up north has been when he and his son arrived in Corn- ing and were driving from the Chevron to Bartels. A lady followed them so she could get a picture next to the car of her five-year old son Diego who had been in the hospital getting a bone marrow transplant and had watched nothing but Dukes of Hazzard episodes. Among the bevy of clas- sic cars was one particu- larly rare one, a 1929 Desoto Delujo, owned by former Te- hama County Supervisor Ron Warner that is one of 13 in the world, he said. The features of the car he likes to point out include that the only air condition- ing comes in the form of a small portion of the front windshield that rolls up and the mother-in-law seat in the back that is outside the main cab of the car, War- ner said. "I didn't know it was rare when I bought it," Warner said. "I just bought it be- cause I thought it would be fun to drive." Milling amongst the vis- itors and car enthusiasts were at least 12 judges, looking at the cars in pairs. "This year we changed it a bit," said Richard Pois- son, judge coordinator. "We have judges that are profes- sional auto technicians and body men. It looks like the people are excited about the car show and the judges are definitely excited about it." In addition to using professionals, there was a set of guidelines that in- cluded a new category for safety with items such as no cracked windshield, no oil leaks and no bald or dam- aged tires on it. Participants are ranked between one and 10 on safety, paint, interior, en- gine and trunk area and presentation. Judge Pete Dagorret of NAPA Auto Parts said when it comes down to decision making time presentation of a car including how will- ing participants are to come talk to judges and show off their vehicle plays a signif- icant role. "You can tell when you've walked all the way through, which ones are the best," said Randy Boles, of Ron's Autobody. "You go back when you can't decided and re-judge it a little tougher." The quality of the resto- ration job is what he looks for when he's having a hard time deciding, he said.

The group is also work- ing to organize a second round of free visitations to Lassen Park, which they were able to do in 2014 because of a Lassen Park Foundation grant, she said. Close to 50 booths of vendors from U-Jam fit- ness to California High- way Patrol and Tehama County Public Health and voter registration filled the lawn area just inside the fairgrounds. Inside the ring of vendors several groups, including Azlan Baile Folklorico out of Corning, performed traditional dances. "We want to provide a family friendly, alco- hol and drug-free Cinco De Mayo celebration," Latino Outreach Social Media Strategist Annaly Ramirez said. "Cinco De Mayo is not our indepen- dence day. That is Sept. 16. It's more like our St. Pat- rick's Day. It's the celebra- tion of Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla." The event is also a source of fundraising for scholarships the group gives to high school stu- dents, which is done through raffle items, Ramirez said.

KEIKO"KATY"COMPSTON December 25, 1929 ~ April 27, 2015 Keiko 'Katy'Compston passed away at Brentwood Skil- led Nursing & Rehab Center in Red Bluff on April 27, 2015. She was 84. Katy was born in Tobata, Japan to Keiichi and Mitsuko Sasaki on December 25, 1929. She was working as a seamstress on U.S. Air Base when she met her husband, Barry A Compston of Red Bluff, CA. They were married on September 6, 1962 in Fukuoka, Ja- pan and in February 1963 were transferred back to USA. Katy became a naturalized citizen on August 20, 1969. Barry's work took them to many different bases around the world until he retired from US Air Force in 1976, and came back to live in his hometown of Red Bluff. Soon thereafter, Katy started to work for Circle K convenience store where she eventually became a store manager. She hoped that one day she would raise enough money to buy the store she was managing. Her dream was cut short when one day while pursuing her other passion, bowling, she was involved in a bad hit and run auto acci- dent and suffered serious head injuries. At the time of ac- cident (1989), she was given only a slim chance of surviv- al. However, her will to live was much stronger than the doctors had anticipated. Katy, with help from many caregivers made the most out of her life. She can finally rest in peace. She was proceeded in death by her parents and husband. She is survived by her daughter, (Shigemi Susie Yokomi), and son-in-law (Richard Yokomi) of Los Angeles, and 2 younger brothers, 3 younger sisters and many nephews and nieces in Japan. Her ashes will be buried next to her husband's in a private ceremony at Sunset Hill Cemetery in Corning.

Florence Lucille "Nina" Hudson May 25, 1931 ~ April 27, 2015 Florence Lucille "Nina" Hudson born May 25, 1931 passed away April 27, 2015 from a long and painful battle with diabetes. She was proceeded in death by her parents Alfred Stephens II and Edith Ida Stephens, the most lov- ing and heck of a good guy and great husband Alston "Bud" Edward Hudson, who landed in Nagasaki, Japan, two weeks after the a-bomb was dropped, grandson Scott Jordan Kloepfel, and her sisters Anita Drew and Caroline Brooks. Leaving behind the joy and wonderment of her beloved children Pat Johnston and husband Dave, Robert Hudson and wife Debra, and step daughter Rita Smith. She was absolute in love with them and her Grandchildren: Heath- er Krohmalney and husband Dan, Brandy Roberts, Teal Eloise Johnston, Jeff Hudson and wife Cassie, Randy Hud- son, Tess Evans, and grandsons Mike and Seth Hudson. She leaves behind nine great grandchildren that she cher- ished every moment with: Savanna Fowler, Sydnee Rob- erts, Kira and Kaden Krohmalney, Erica, Hayley and Es- sence Hudson, Liam and Xander Hudson. She also leave behind her brother and pal Al Stephens III, and her many nieces and nephews-who she took under her wing and mothered-many who had no home or nowhere to go. Florence had over 200 hundred people live with her dur- ing her life. Flo, as she liked to be called was born in Pasadena, Cal- ifornia and graduated from Pasadena City College, where her father worked as a trainer. She loved that because it gave her access to many exciting events like the Rose Bowl games and Tournament of Roses Parade, which she was in three times. She was a Salvation Army camp coun- selor at Mount Crags, where she worked successfully with girls from LA gangs. Later, she worked at CalTech and JPL as an engineering aide and wind testing facilities in Pasa- dena, where she met Dr. Linus Pauling and Dr. Charles Richter. She felt honored and fortunate to be invited to see and watch the telescope being polished at the Mount Palomar Observatory at the Guggenheim Laboratory. Moving to Irvine put her back in touch with many things she enjoyed growing up. Sailing at Balboa Island, swim- ming in the ocean and walking the misty hills above the sea. After her husband's massive heart attack, they moved to Northern California, first to Manton, then to Red Bluff, where Bud was given the gift of 14 more years for them to share and love each other. Bud had been given a year to live, if he didn't get away from his stressful job as a tool designer at Bertea Products, where they designed parts for the early space program. While her husband re- cuperated and built up his business, TV Tech, Flo worked at Red Bluff High School, first as a bus driver, then as a maintenance worker, and finally as the head of mainte- nance. She was the driving force behind the beautiful campus we see today, when they went through a major renovation of the school. Many people never knew that she was a very proficient and excellent writer of poems and children's books, having many published and win- ning awards. This is just one of many. "Nothing" Nothing is stronger, nor lasts longer, than love, Nothing is better, than a letter of love. Nothing can touch the heart, than a new start at love Nothing can entwine, once you are mine, for love. Nothing can endure, as long as ours is pure, Our love. Nothing will be naught, longer is forever, my love Family was the most important thing to her, and she loved hers without limit. Instead of flowers or donations, Flo would love for you to do something special for your own family. Services will be held at Chester Cemetery, May 8, 2015 at 11AM. A celebration of her life and a pot luck picnic will follow at Chester Park.
