The Corning Fire Depart- ment celebrated its centenni- al Feb. 14 and in the last 100 years has had more than 350 volunteers who have stepped up, spending countless hours serving their community. That tradition continued with Corning's Firefighter of the Year Dave Linnet, who responded to 540 calls in 2011 and spent several hours training while serving as Corning City Councilman, cleaning up weeds and graf- fiti with his grandson and maintaining his business, Linnet's Tires. He also is a part of the downtown improvement group. "Everyone always says they want to be a fireman when they grow up," Linnet said. "It just took me 55 years to do it. Thank you." Dispatcher Rocky Peter- son, who has been with Corning Fire for three years, was recognized for his work, which includes keeping equipment serviceable, being a public information officer, handling burn day calls for Corning, Capay and Orland and taking 911 calls. "911 calls can be stressful and (Peterson) does an excellent job," Spannaus said. "He's personable and he knows almost everyone and all the addresses. He's a real asset." Tehama County Sheriff Dave Hencratt presented Officer of the Year for his department to Christine Farmer, who started with the department in 1998, moving to correctional officer in 2004. She is the Jail Trans- portation Officer, arranging transport within the state and sometimes nationwide. The jail can be a quiet place sometimes and hectic at others with a lot to be done while dealing with between 190 and 208 inmates, who are trying to manipulate things to disrupt the flow of the jail, Hencratt said. Farmer is being honored for her life-saving actions when she came upon an towed from the scene. The Red Bluff CHP office is ask- ing anyone with more infor- mation on the incident or who may have witnessed the collision to call 527-2034. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com.

Because of her, the inmate survived and not only did she save a life, but saved the county almost certain litiga- tion. She is a well-rounded person and someone you can count on." Farmer said, despite training, situations like the one she found herself in are those you are never ready for. "I thank God because without him I wouldn't be here," Farmer said. "That's how I get through my days." The Stars group, senior volunteers, received recogni- tion for their countless hours assisting the department with jail visitation, Lake California Neighborhood Watch and house checks. "They're a wonderful group and I'm privileged to work with them," Hencratt said. Red Bluff Fire's honorees Lesleigh McLeod and Sher- ryl Arend both run away from the limelight, Chief Michael Bachmeyer said. McLeod is a graduate of the last in-house academy Red Bluff Fire conducted and has gone on to get EMT training and registered for the National EMT Registry, the latter of which is a suc- cess in and of itself, Bach- meyer said. "I'm very impressed," Bachmeyer said. "She has skills that are valued very highly by us and our cooper- ating agencies, but she is also a very wonderful per- son." Arend, Bachmeyer's administrative assistant, may not fill the traditional role of a firefighter, but she has taken on numerous duties above and beyond her role. "When I moved from fire marshal to chief three years ago, it left a hole in inspec- tions," Bachmeyer said. "We do about 1,000 yearly and there was no one for weed abatement.

Preventing incidents of Shaken Baby Syndrome is about coping skills and education, Rose said.

Red Bluff California Highway Patrol Area Com- mander Lt. Todd Garr recog- nized Kim Smith as Civilian Employee of the Year and Ken Reineman, who is awaiting results for promo- tion to Sgt., as Officer of the Year. Smith is someone Garr depends on and he appreci- ates her positive attitude and proactiveness, Garr said. After her duties are done she pitches in entering tickets, clerical work, washing patrol cars and baking for members of the department. Reineman, who started as an officer in 1998, has a vari- ety of jobs, including acci- dent investigation review in which he has a 100 percent on time completion record. He serves as the union repre- sentative, doing a "fine job, especially in a time of limit- ed budget." CalFire Batallion Chief Randy Rapp presented Career Firefighter of the Year to Capt. Matt Chamblin and Tehama County Fire Department Volunteer of the Year to Walt Williams. Chamblin has worked at the Paskenta station and is now at Red Bluff's main headquarters with about 2,000 calls each year. "He is an instrumental part of running the facility," Rapp said. "He's a highly motivated individual who steps up to take care of things when he's on-duty and when he's off-duty. He's a very passionate person and his family comes first, but his job's a very close sec- ond." Describing Chamblin as a top-notch person who is as solid as they come, Rapp said Chamblin's high expec- tations for himself carry over to those he works with, caus- ing them to rise to his level of expectation. Williams, a retired assis- sary. Tuesday, February 28, 2012 – Daily News 7A March 1. If appointed, the sergeant position would remain open, allowing a savings even with the $18,000 cost for Carde- nas' contract as a public safety consultant. Cost for Cardenas as part-time chief is $52,800 and the sergeant's position is $128,700 for total cost of $181,533 or an annual savings of $106,000. With Atkins receiving a 11.6 percent raise by pro- moting to police chief, his salary would be $141,800. If approved, Atkins would start his new duties The mid-year review of the budget shows a pro- jected revenue of $3.8 mil- lion for the 2011-2012 budget with expenditures, including those adopted in June 2011, at $4.2 million. This brings the general fund operating deficit to $441,070, according to staff report. However, with the $25,600 brought in from the contract with the coun- ty for John Stoufer's ser- vice as planning director and the one-time recovery of sales tax, expected to be $159,600, the net funds drome each year in the U.S., Rose said. Of those, 25 percent die. Shaken Baby Syndrome is the most common cause of death in physical child abuse cases, even though it is entirely preventable, she said. The students in the child care program, taught by Maryanne Mon- tandon, also learn CPR and first aid. Through the partnership with Tehama County Public Health, stu- dents who went through the training Monday will be able to borrow "Hope" and "Faith" along with the accompanying DVD and training materials so they can teach others. Public Health staff have been promoting the Shaken Baby Syn- drome prevention training through- and candied nuts that was a popular stop. Pedrozo Dairy and Cheese Co. of Orland offered several flavors, from garlic herb to petite syrah- aged. Crescent City's Rumi- ano Cheese Co., one of the tant chief, continues to serve with the Antelope Volunteer Company and, when he is in town, is at every call. "(Williams) has 30-plus years of experience and he's still here to provide service to the community," Rapp said. "He's a great asset." Red Bluff Police Chief Paul Nanfito presented Offi- cer of the Year to Heather Vance, with Lt. Kyle Sanders accepting on her behalf. "She's dedicated, selfless and very hard working," Nanfito said. "She's an excellent communicator, outstanding attitude and shows a commitment to her community. She excelled as a police officer in many ways and has taken on sever- al new roles and responsibil- ities. She has been assigned as a Field Training Officer, Asst. Special Events Coordi- nator and Asst. Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Coor- dinator." Vance has taken on being an officer in charge when a supervisor is not available and was selected to become an Impact Weapons Instruc- tor. Nanfito presented Dis- patcher Jane Hoover with Civilian Employee of the Year, noting that dispatchers are often unrecognized as they are not as visible. In 2011, Red Bluff Police Dispatchers had 68,000 911 calls for about 3,200 calls for service. "Jane is always willing to help, has a strong desire to serve and an incredibly posi- tive attitude," Nanfito said.

"He's my right hand man," Allen said. "He's the secretary-treasurer, a steady person and someone I can bounce my ideas off." Corning Police Depart- ment Sgt. Don Atkins recog- nized Justin Jourdan as Offi- cer of the Year and Dis- patcher/Records Clerk Shel- ley Keener as Civilian Employee of the Year. "He is dedicated to the department and citizens of Corning and you couldn't find a more devoted, hard working officer," Atkins said of Jourdan.

Jourdan has been recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for his work in keeping drunk drivers off the road. Sgt.
