Shanoah Foley, 29, of Redding was air- lifted to Enloe Medical Center in Chico with a possible broken left leg.

Dad was born to Nellie and Orville Bagshaw on August 31, 1928 in Las Animas, Colorado. Because of the depres- sion Grampa moved his family many times to find work, finally ending up in Glenn County, where they had pur- chased a dairy. Dad and Mom married in 1955. In 1956 Dad got a job at Robert "Bob" Bagshaw died Tuesday morning, January Carole Jean Hedge entered into rest on January 6, 2012, Should reductions be needed, Nichols asked the council to consider how the cuts should be made. "Can we continue to nib- ble around the edges or is there something else we need to do?" he said. In the last three years the city has trimmed the whole organization by implement- ing across the board cuts, but it may be time to start look- ing at targeted cuts, Nichols said. Continuing across the board cuts could lead to the entire organization becom- ing mediocre while targeted cuts would get rid of certain services but allow the city to focus its resources on those that remain. Councilman Bob Carrel said the city is at a crossroad where it has to start consid- ering targeted cuts. Councilmen Wayne Brown and Rob Schmid agreed across the board cuts have already been tried and something different needs to be done. "Targeted reduction is just about all we can do," Schmid said. Morale and the high rate of attrition in the police and fire departments created the greatest concerns for the council. "We as a council need to address morale in the public safety departments," Carrel said. The Red Bluff Police Officers' Association sug- gested stability in the depart- ment can be created by restructuring the administra- tion. Members asked the council to consider reducing the police chief position to half-time. Resident DJ Gordy asked that the council to let the community help. She suggested putting a CHANGE Continued from page 1A JUNK ber unit believes in him. the new Diamond National plant in Red Bluff, where the family moved in 1957. One of Dad's wishes was that his kids would grow up in the same place. Because of this wish, Dad always had at least two jobs. Through the years, while working at Diamond, he also worked as a small engine mechanic and owned and operated a used car lot. Since motorcycles had been a big part of his life dating back to his days as a member of the Pomona Ramblers motorcycle club, he bought and ran a motorcy- cle shop in the late 60's. Even though it seemed like Dad was always working, there was always time for camping trips, watching the kids in sports, and good times. Because of their hard work, Dad and Mom were able to retire early and spent the last thirty years traveling all over the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Dad was a people person. It always amazed Mom that where ever we were, he would see someone he knew, even if it was someone he worked with years before. Dad's love for traveling and fishing was matched only by his love for his family. Dad was predeceased by his wife, Mona, his grandson Cory, and his son-in-law George. He is survived by his brother Ed, his sons, Bob and wife Tina, Dennis and wife Rema, his daughters JoLynn Gordon and husband Alan, and Gayle Carpenter and her husband Mitch. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and many nephews, nieces, and extended family. He was the best husband, father, grandfather, and friend you could ever ask for. We will really miss him. There will be a remembrance at the graveside at Oak In order to even be a registered sales tax increase initiative on the ballot. The revenue from the temporary tax increase could go to support city departments such as the police, fire and recreation. "I know there is enough interest to generate support in the community," she said. Schmid said the general public needs to be more edu- cated on the budgetary issues the city is facing before a tax can be present- ed. Only about a dozen peo- ple, the majority being city employees, attended the meeting, which led Building Director JD Ellison to criti- cize the lack of public partic- ipation. Ellison lamented the lack of appreciation the public and the council had for city employees. "The citizens and the council really need to under- stand the hours and the edu- cation we put in," Ellison said. "It's not recognized by the people the work that we adult volunteer, each person must undergo a stringent application process that must be verified by the national program, Hurton said. ceed.

The evening also show- cased the singing talent of Chad Bushnell during a wine and olive oil tasting from Bursini Vineyards of Cottonwood, Tehama Oaks Vineyard and Winery of Red Bluff, Cline Cellars of Sono- ma, Lucero Olive Oil of Corning and Corning Olive Oil Company. The evening ended with a live auction. Many auction- eers of the Bull & Gelding Sale warmed up for the about $200,000 to allow the Environmental Health Department to enforce regu- lations. Cleanups are not being done at the public's expense though. The county will place a property tax lien or file a case in small claims court to recoup costs, Potanovic said. While there are several eyesores throughout the county, violators usually get away for awhile because the county does not have a court weeklong event later this month as they petitioned the crowd for bids on several big ticket items, including a Border collie puppy named Bandit, donated by Merle and Sandi Newton of Crys- tal Rose Cow Dog College that went for $400.

Warner and Potanovic said there are other proper- ties, not just in Los Molinos but throughout the county, that have been brought to their attention. It's their hope property owners will per- form voluntary cleanup, so a situation such as Monday's can be avoided. Unkempt properties in Los Molinos are a shame because there are some Hencratt, Casey Dykier and Corey Carpenter.

YEARBOOK This would probably be it: If Corning had a do. When someone says, 'anybody can do your job,' they're wrong." Carrel said he was not discouraged by the absence of a large crowd, as people usually do not care until they are directly affected. "The general public is a silent majority, and they expect us to take care of them," Carrel said. "That's just a fact of life. The only time we hear from them is when it's a controversy that is going to affect them." There is not one person on the council who is not working to help fix the city's budgetary problems, Carrel said. The council plans to con- tinue the workshop next month. An official meeting notice will be posted once the date is finalized. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e- mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com.
