The public is welcome to join law enforcement, public safety agencies and other community members to honor and memori- alize the four law enforcement of- ficers who gave their lives in the line of duty protecting the citizens of California, according to the press release issued by the Cali- fornia Highway Patrol Monday. A highlight of the ceremony is the reading of names of the fallen officers along with a symbolic candle lighting ceremony. Red Bluff Commander of the CHP, Lt. Lou Aviles, is honored to be able to memorialize the four officers and the Sheriff's De- partment canine and Police De- partment canine that fell in the line of duty in 2015, according to the release. "Although it is a sad and a tragic thought to know these heroes are no longer with us, it is equally important that we remember their sacrifice," Aviles said. The ceremony is open to ev- eryone and the public is encour- aged to attend to assist in pay- ing tribute to these fallen officers. For more information contact 527- 2034. MEMORIAL Ceremonytohonorfallenofficers Special tow the DN Local resident Andree Canova turned 107 in April, making her probably the oldest person to live in this county and, for that matter, one of the oldest in the United States. To meet Andree one would never be aware of her advanced years; rather her alert atti- tude and keen intelligence are equally impressive. Andree was born in Paris, France April 13, 1909 to a Swiss mother and father. At five months she and her parents re- turned to their home village in Switzerland after the tragic death of two uncles in a fire that destroyed the family home. Plan- ning to return to France, her mother became pregnant with Andree's brother, so instead they remained in their small moun- tain town La Chaux-de-Fonds — in western Switzerland and for many years made famous as the watch making capital of the world. With the exception of 14 months of secondary school in Berne, Andree grew up and went to school alongside numerous relatives in Chaux-de-Fond. Another tragedy befell the family when Andree's father drowned in a boating accident. Her mother accepted the invita- tion of an uncle living in the Un- tied States, who offered to help raise the two children in Amer- ica. Getting the necessary papers to travel took several years due to the confusion of Andree's French birth. Finally, on Jan. 21, 1928 the three left Europe. When the steamer arrived in New York they were met by rel- atives, including the benevo- lent uncle, who escorted them to Washington, D.C., where he lived. Andree's plan was to only stay a few years, long enough to learn English, and then return to Switzerland. However, mas- tering the language took lon- ger than she anticipated. She worked in a pastry shop oper- ated by her uncle until it closed. In 1932 she married an Ameri- MILESTONE LOCAL WOMAN IS SHARP AS EVER AT 107 COURTESYPHOTO The local woman pictured here roughly 20years ago, Andree Canova, turned 107in April.

Backers hope the higher cost of cigarettes would discourage young people from smoking while raising money for anti-smoking campaigns and research on to- bacco-related illnesses. The average cost of a pack of cigarettes in California is now about $5.50. The $2-a-pack in- crease would bump that to about $7.50 — an increase of about $750 a year for people who smoke a pack a day — if cigarette makers pass along the full amount to con- sumers. "This is going to make smok- ers pay their fair share" of health costs, said Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager who has contributed $1 million to the bal- lot campaign.
