At Jackson Heights School, a group was spearheaded by Wil- liam Yates, whose father is a teacher at the school. The group repainted a mural on the black top near the playground that was originally an eagle scout project done by Yates' cousin, Danny Yates, he said. Senior classmates Maryn Spangler, Karina Zamacona, Nicole Sauve, Riley Palmer, Alejandro Chavez, Rodney Hubbell, Jr. and Hailey Reineman assisted. A separate group of stu- dents worked in classrooms and painted tables at Jack- son Heights. That group in- cluded Elizabeth Smith, Madi- son Waelty, Kylie Carlon, Mariah Diaz, Heather Dudley, Ambur Nickerson and Donna Vanthida. Cesar Galvan Rivas painted benches at the school. At Bidwell Elementary School Ross Palubeski and Trey Shilts were helping fifth grade stu- dents put handprint leaves on a Bidwell Family Tree painted onto the stage at the amphithe- ater. Their entire group, which included Josiah Vasey, Elijah Scharaga, Aislynn Lair, Andrew Harms, Tina Ortega, Sage Mist and Mikenna Corry, painted the stage green and created the tree that the leaves were on, spend- ing about 10 hours on the proj- ect. "We're all Bidwell alumni and we wanted to create something for the students who are gradu- ating and moving on to another school just like we are graduat- ing and moving onto another school, college in our case, this year," Palubeski said. Kali Ross and Maria Williams also volunteered at Bidwell, teaching a drawing class to sec- ond grade students. At the Red Bluff Veterans Memorial Hall, seniors Daisy Brose, Kinser Endicott, Han- nah Meeder, Morgan Maddox and Ireland Howell spent the afternoon serving a free lunch to veterans and raising money through donations for the Miss- ing In America Project. "We all have family who are veterans and we wanted to give back to the community and thank the veterans as well," Meeder said. "We wanted to show them how much we ap- preciate their service and what they gave to us." Maddox's grandfather is a part of the Missing In America Project, which provides escorts for military funerals. RED BLUFF HIGH SENIORS MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN COMMUNITY JULIEZEEB-DAILYNEWS Red Bluff Union High School seniors repaint a map mural Tuesday at Jackson Heights School as a part of Senior Make A Difference Day. By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF The City Council has appointed Red Bluff police Capt. Kyle Sanders to the position of chief of police. Council members, during their regular meeting Tuesday, voted 4-0 to appoint Sanders to the city's top police position. Coun- cilman Gary Jones was absent. Sanders, who had been serving in the role of acting police chief since March, will earn an annual salary of about $114,383. Sanders was sworn in as police chief during the meeting. "You guys are getting a great chief," Mayor Clay Parker said, lauding Sanders' dealings with the public and his overall profes- sionalism. "I just don't think you can get anybody better." In remarks before a council chamber that was filled mostly with Sanders' supporters and well-wishers, Sanders said he was honored by the appointment. "We have a lot of work to do, but we have a fantastic organiza- tion" and fantastic people, he said. Sanders graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1991, joined the Red Bluff Po- lice Department as a patrol officer in 1996 and has commanded the department's op- erations division for about the last six years. He holds a bach- elor's degree in or- ganizational leadership from Simpson University and a mas- ter's in criminal justice from the American Military University. The City Council's appointment comes after prior Police Chief Paul Nanfito retired on May 15. Nanfito had been the subject of a city investigation after local law enforcement groups, including the Red Bluff Peace Officers As- sociation and the Tehama County Deputy Sheriffs' Association, al- leged that his management of RED BLUFF Sanderssworninaspolicechief City Council unanimously votes to appoint department veteran Community.....A3 Business .........A4 Lifestyles........A5 Opinion............A6 Food.................A8 Sports..............
