4-Hmemberswere asked by the Tehama County 4-H office to help raise scholarship money by volunteering at Tractor Supply Co. recently.

Harry Pols- ley, who made the mo- tion placing the Associ- ation behind the recall proceedings, was the only person who voted for the measure. Geo. Boock, of Los Robles, who seconded Polsely's motion, was not heard on the vote. Dr. Willis Coyle, who made an im- passioned appeal to the tax payers to delay no longer but take action to rid themselves of cor- rupt officials, departed from the meeting as the question was about to be voted upon. Others, who in a more or less enthusi- astic manner, supported the proposition to insti- tute recall proceedings, did not vote when the question was put before the meeting for action. — April 30, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Proposition to recall board of supervisors is not accepted Some images die hard. The stereotypical image of "Dog- Catcher" with net in hand and leering grin, racing after a dog, is one of those im- ages. Long caricatured as villains, these people, now known as Animal Control Officers, are often heroes. They not only pro- tect our community's do- mestic and wild animals, but also our residents. Their duties are varied, of- ten difficult, and in many instances under-appreci- ated. It is time to put the "dog catcher" view to rest and begin to understand what today's animal con- trol officer does. Tehama County encom- passes an area of 2,962 square miles (almost 20% larger than the state of Del- aware). Our county's pop- ulation is over 63,000 with the densest populations located in Red Bluff and Corning. But let us not for- get the other remote and rural locales throughout the county, where people and animals also coincide. Now consider the num- ber of Animal Control Of- ficers (ACOs) available to cover both population and territory. For the city lim- its of Red Bluff, the Red Bluff Police Department does not have any person- nel who are specifically "ACOs". They have 2.5 (by their documentation) Com- munity Service Officers (CSOs) who, in addition to animal control duties, per- form a multitude of other functions. During CSO off- hours, Red Bluff Police Of- ficers handle animal con- trol incidents in addition to their regular duties. In the city limits of Corning, the Corning Police Department has one ACO. For the rest of Tehama County, the Te- hama County Sheriff's Of- fice has three ACOs, who cover 7 days per week. So I ask you to please afford some modicum of under- standing after considering the limited personnel avail- able, the expanse of area covered, and the multitude of people and animals dealt with, when you call for An- imal Control and believe a response is not timely. Animal Control Officers provide an invaluable ser- vice to our community by working to improve the safety and welfare of both people and animals. Few realize what it entails The most familiar of the duties is locating, cap- turing, and transport- ing abandoned, lost, sick, or injured animals. How- ever, those animals go far beyond just dogs. Live- stock abounds in Tehama County, and it is not un- usual for the ACO to chase down cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and even the occasional emu. If the an- imal has identification, then it is reunited with its owner. If it does not, then it is brought to the ap- propriate facility for safe- keeping and care. Should a person's child, pet, or live- stock be bitten or attacked by a domestic or wild ani- mal, due to possible rabies exposure, the ACO must investigate, verify vaccina- tions, locate and quaran- tine the animal involved. Should an animal be sick or injured, the ACO can be at grave personal risk. Not only is there a high potential for injury when attempting to cap- ture an animal under stress, whatever the cause, but they are potentially exposed to disease either from the animal or the en- vironment (as in the case of feces-ridden hoarding situations). Animals are not the only creatures that are dangerous. Whether it is the risk of confron- tation from an individual engaged in criminal activ- ity like cockfighting, me- diating animal-related dis- putes between people, or an upset pet owner having an animal impounded or being issued a citation, all have the capacity to be a threat to officer safety.
