Man flees after passenger injured A Corning man was the driver in a hit and run crash that left his passengers, one of whom was injured, stranded at 4 p.m. Monday on Lowery Road, north of Paskenta Road. Timothy Fogle, 30, of Corning was driving south on Lowery Road when he came upon and failed to negotiate a right-hand curve, losing control and rolling a 1987 Toyota 4Runner. As the vehicle rolled, the removable roof came off and a passenger, Amber Walker, 20, of Corning, was thrown from the vehicle, sustaining minor injuries, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said. Walker walked to a nearby residence and got a ride to town. She was taken to St. Elizabeth Community to be treat- ed for minor injuries, the CHP spokesman said. A second passenger, John Quigley, 25, of Corning declined medical attention, he said. The 1987 Toyota 4Runner had major damage. The CHP had not made contact with Fogle as of Tuesday afternoon, the CHP spokesman said. —Julie Zeeb PALS Continued from page 1A Mentor John Minton has been helpful and cares a lot about him and his friends, Christian said.

"We will also have four acts from the Law Dawgs and Pisteleros group throughout the evening in which they portray historical events from the western era," Spring said. Several 4-H members served as ambassadors, attending meetings including the Jan. 24 city council meet- ing where Cindy McClain and Corning 4-H members Dorinda Walker, 18, Dominic Azevedo, 18, Quentin Azevedo, 7, Kaitlyn Huntley, 15, and McKynzie Huntley, 6, to invited the public to attend. "It's a really good event and there's a spaghetti dinner for $5," said Walker who has been involved with 4-H for fun." The grant for the program allows for a ratio of three children to one adult, so par- ticipation is limited, Men- donca said. She would like to expand the program to include more students if she can find more mentors. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor can call 528-7358. nine years. "It's a whole meal and it's totally worth it." All the clubs will have a booth and will be participat- ing in a decorated fence post contest, said Dominic Azevedo, who is in his 12th year in 4-H. Tickets are $1 each and four games can be played with each ticket, Walker said. "4-H Fun Night is a blast for anyone who has never been," said Corning Council- woman Toni Parkins. The 4-H Fun Night is the big fundraiser of the year for local clubs. McClain thanked the council and community for their support of 4-H through the years. "I'd like to thank you and thank the community for what you give our youth," McClain said. "Corning's a great little community." For more information on the event contact the 4-H office at 527-3101. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County Clinton Roger Howard returned to live with his Heaven- FAIR Continued from page 1A exhibits for at least the last two years. To create the 2012 dis- play, the contractor's pro- posal called for $5,650, the report stated. The county would have to front an additional $4,275 to meet the pro- posed fees, after dona- tions are accounted for. Instead, the county decided to switch gears. The staff recommend- ed to divert some or all of the allocated general funds toward a bus tour of the state fair and the capi- tol building to generate interest in the project overall, Goodwin said. "It's a small invest- ment to get people to see what it's all about," Goodwin told the board. The board members supported the idea, including Supervisor George Russell who heads the fair exhibit committee. The state fair exhibit is the only means to adver- tise Tehama County to so many people for such a low cost, Russell said. "It helps people know we exist," he said. The contractor is rea- sonably priced as well, he said. However, there was- n't enough of a response to the county's plea for financial help. Community member Gene Shea commented during the board meeting and suggested that the county simply not partici- pate this year. "We've got to stop spending money we don't have," Shea said. "If we can't afford it, skip it." However, the board saw merit in taking com- munity leaders to see the fair. Supervisor Ron Warn- er, who said he has sat in the county's fair booth many years, said the exhibit gets more people to come to Tehama Coun- ty. Taking local leaders to see the exhibits in person FORMS Continued from page 1A He went on vacation to Mexico with his family and purposely left his cell- phone and computer at home. When he returned home last month, he said he was very surprised to learn that Rep. Wally Herger, R-Chico, had announced he would retire at the end of this year. Another surprise was finding out Herger had endorsed state Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, to replace him. Since then, Aanestad has been considering entering the congressional race himself. "I want to do it, but I want to make sure it's the right thing to do," he said. The filing deadline is in early March, but he said might encourage commu- nity businesses to help, Warner said. The bus tour would include a guided tour of the county exhibits at the fair and a trip through the state capitol which has window displays for each county. Tehama County's win- dow display, which is supposed to be main- tained by the county, is in dire need of updating, said Supervisor Bob Williams. It has Los Molinos spelled wrong and still showcases the boat drag races that no longer exist, Williams said. The bus tour would not be open to the public, however. Although details have not been worked out, the committee is considering inviting people who have either given to the exhibit fund in the past or who are recommended by the chambers of commerce, Goodwin said after the meeting. The idea is to get people excited about creating the exhibit and who are willing to con- tribute to it. "The goal of this tour would be to refocus and direct community atten- tion to these out-of-coun- ty marketing opportuni- ties that are available to us," stated the agenda report. Afterward, things could change for the fol- lowing year. If the community shows support for a 2013 exhibit, there may be a way to incorporate the Tehama County branding effort, that is said to pre- sent a new brand or theme in spring, into the exhibit, Goodwin said. For now, the board decided to not have a 2012 exhibit and will not meet the Feb. 10 dead- line. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailyn ews.com. he'll make a decision before then. Before committing himself to a congressional campaign, Aanestad said he wanted to be sure he could raise the necessary funds and that he'd be able to organize groups in com- munities around the dis- trict to campaign for him. A political consultant who advised him about the exploratory committee said it's sometimes called a "testing-the-waters com- mittee," he said. It does not have to be registered with the Secre- tary of State, he said he was told. If he decides to run, Aanestad said, the exploratory committee could be turned into a campaign committee that could raise money for the race. Wednesday, February 1, 2012 – Daily News 7A Police searching for Corning 7-11 robber Corning Police are looking for a man who was involved in an early morning robbery at 4:20 a.m. Tuesday at the 7-11 Gas Station, 1425 Solano St. Officers were dispatched to the gas station where employ- ees told officers a man between 20 and 30 years old had entered the store with a scarf covering his face and bran- dished a weapon. The man entered the store, selected a few items and walked up to the counter where he brandished a pistol he had concealed in his shirt sleeve and demanded the clerk give him money, a Corning Police press release said. The clerk gave the man an undisclosed amount of cash and he was last seen running around the west side of the 7- 11 store. The man, described as being of a thin build and standing about 5' 10", was wearing a brown jacket or hooded sweat- shirt, blue jeans and a ball cap in addition to the scarf cover- ing his face. —Julie Zeeb MULL Continued from page 1A At the time he moved to the part-time contract due to the city's budgetary problems, a move which Corning Police Chief Tony Cardenas also made. Both Kimbrough and Car- denas started drawing retirement. CalPERS laws for retirees have always held that an employee drawing retirement could not work more than 960 hours, but Jan. 1 a new law went into effect. "The new law, suppos- edly a clarification of existing retirement law, changed the way retirees under CalPERS can work part time," Kimbrough said. "Those appointed by the governing body, like city managers, can still work up to 960 hours in one year, but may not be employed by the same jurisdiction for longer than that year." There is also a rule that Kimbrough cannot be simply issued a new con- tract, replacing the prior one, as a way to get around the law, he said. The law does not apply MITT Continued from page 1A tion ''does not divide us, it prepares us'' for the fall. ''Mr. President, you were elected to lead, you chose to follow, and now it's time to get out of the way,: he declared. Returns from 79 percent of Florida's precincts showed Romney with 47 percent of the vote, to 32 per- to Cardenas because his employment contract is different and is under a separate section of the law, Kimbrough said. Kimbrough first became aware of the new law in a League of Cali- fornia Cities blog that publishes daily about important issues, includ- ing labor relations, he said. "I saw the blog a week ago and contacted (League of California Cities) and our city attor- ney," Kimbrough said. "I briefed the council last Tuesday and they directed us to set the special meet- ing last Thursday to find a solution." Kimbrough is expected to step down at the end of February.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state. The winner-take-all pri- mary was worth 50 Republi- can National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far. But the bigger prize was precious political momen- tum. THE PASSING PARADE No one has trouble getting used to unexpected prosperity, but adjusting to adversity is another story. Some commit suicide, some develop a hopeless attitude. A few make up their minds that they will not give up. I want to tell you about a lady that belongs to the last category. Her name is Mrs. E.W. Saunders. Born shortly after the close of the Civil War, she lived her entire life in Tehama County. Her earliest recollections were of Indians visiting at her folk's ranch west of Corning. The Indians had feathers in their hair and one squaw had a baby fawn in her lap as a pet. When Mrs. Saunders first came to Red Bluff, the sidewalks were made of wood, the site of Elmore's Drug Store was a restaurant, and behind it was a livery stable. After teaching school for a few years, in 1911 she married a man named Saunders, who was 17 years her senior, and they moved to the Diamond Range west of town where they prospered and operated 20,000 acres on which they ran as many as 12,000 head of cattle, 1,000 hogs, 2,500 goats and many horses. When I first met her and her family in 1919, they had a fine home, people were hired to do the house work, and they had just about everything they wanted. But a few years later, they toppled from the height of prosperity, lean years followed and it was necessary for them to borrow money. Suddenly, in 1928, their loans were foreclosed and they lost all their possessions. Mr. Saunders was then 72 and knew he could not start over again in business, but Mrs. Saunders made up her mind that she was not going to quit. She began selling eggs and butter and dressed chickens…and delivered them all over town. In her spare time, she took care of other people's children and anything else she could do to make money.

Telephone: (530) 824-3792 By this time, all her children had grown and left home except Jimmie. I remember him as over 6 feet tall and an intelligent 16 year old. But he developed sinus trouble and while a specialist was probing his sinus cavities, he accidently broke into the blood stream. The boy developed an infection, and as there were no antibiotic s in those days, Jimmie eventually died. When the end came, she thought she could not bear it. For six months she looked every day at his boots, his football and the clock that he bought with his own money. One night she awoke and found herself looking at his things. She knew that if she was to keep her sanity, something had to be done. Turning to prayer she said, "God, if you will let me see him one more time, I think I can bear it and carry on."
