DeathNotices HEATHER HOELSCHER - DAILY NEWS Students walk from Bidwell Elementary across the streetas Theron Hurlbert assists in a safe crossing. about Corning and the people of Corning. It's the people that make Corn- ing our community and we need to continue to bring our community together, to make it a thriving, desir- able place to live in, to work in and to enjoy. The support I have received from our community, coupled with the desire to make our community a better place for everyone is what drives my desire to be mayor. I want to be a part of making Corning a community where everyone can have opportunities to succeed. Hatley: I am proud of Corning and plan to con- tinue living here. I look forward to having the op- portunity to use my experi- ence and expertise to help our city grow in a positive way. To also have a bal- anced budget and return Corning to the positive, clean and safe town it was when we moved here. Ifelected,whatare the main goals you'd like to accomplish during your term? Cardenas: The primary role of the city council is to establish and adopt policies for the city, with one of its major functions being to review and adopt the city budget. With this in mind, I would foster and encourage the adoption of a strategic plan that would prioritize all city services with goals and objectives to help us establish what we need to do in order to become the community we desire. A strategic financial plan would provide addi- tional budget stability from one year to the next and help minimize a reactionary approach to budget issues. Hatley: My main goal is to make Corning more at- tractive to new businesses that may want to locate here. I'd like to listen to the needs of the citizens of Corning, reduce the crime in Corning by supporting our police department and the Neighborhood Watch program. And to improve the city's infrastructure as well as balance the budget and create more programs for our youth. I'd also like to provide a user friendly city hall. What changes do you feel are needed and how will you make that a reality? Cardenas: I believe the city and the council need to improve their communi- cations with the residents and the business com- munity. When there have been issues, in part, the issues stemmed from poor communication or lack of sufficient information. I also believe that while sev- eral business owners and managers don't live within the city limits they are an integral part of our com- munity and our success. Their input and their ideas need to be included in the decision-making process of the council, especially on issues that impact or may impact them. Hatley: I feel that Corning should become more busi- ness friendly to encourage new businesses to make there home in Corning. As a part of my goals, I think the key is to improve the attractiveness of our downtown area and develop a program for infrastruc- ture improvement. Also to have more transparency in city hall. What past experiences, work or otherwise, do you think will assist you in your position if elected? Cardenas: My experiences have taught me to look at issues from all sides, to gather all the information available on a given subject so that an informed deci- sion can be made, based on facts and not an emotional reaction. I have been taught to seek truth and justice and to do what is in the best interest of all con- cerned. My work experience with the city was focused on the management and deployment of personnel and resources to insure the mission of the police department was met as effectively as possible. This required intimate knowl- edge of city budgeting and the ability to work with people within the depart- ments and the community. In order to succeed at solv- ing problems we must work together. Hatley: I served on the Corning Planning Commis- sion for several years. Here I was able to work with other commissioners to better the infrastructure of the city. I have worked in a business manage- ment position for over 30 years. During this time I have worked with multiple employees and have had a lot of human resource training. I was president of Stony Creek Muzzle Loaders for over 8years. I was Vice President of Si- erra Muzzle Loaders for 2years. I have also served on the Board of Directors of the Corning Chamber of Commerce for 2years. While be- ing a board member I have had the opportunity to put on events in- cluding the Car Show Mixer at Corning Ford for three or four years. Final thoughts: Cardenas: Strack's deci- sion to retire from the council will create a void of experience and leadership. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with him. Through him I have learned that being mayor is not about "glad- handing and photo-oppor- tunities", it's about getting in the trenches and doing the work, even when you are the only one doing the work. It is about creating an environment that allows you to voice your concerns and opinions, but being fully supportive of the ma- jority decision. As mayor I will strive to exemplify those qualities. Lastly, I strongly believe we must perform our duties today with the forethought of ensuring our future. Hatley: I own property in Corning and expect to be very active in keeping Corn- ing a growing, viable city. I want our young citizens to be able to find good productive local jobs here so they can have a profit- able career without having to move to out of town locations. Election FROM PAGE 1 vehicle occupant safety through education and out- reach. The pedestrian safety grant award, in the amount of $47,260, was awarded to promote "Walk, Scoot and Peddle to Safety" initiative in the county and will go to- ward pedestrian and bicy- cle safety education pro- grams and equipment. Funds from these grants will also be used to con- duct car seat inspections, bike helmet fittings and a number of other events scheduled throughout the year put on by the Tehama County Health Services Agency. Hurlbert mentioned that in 2015 and 2016 there has be zero fatali- ties in the county as a re- sult of bringing awareness to the community. The campaign stated: The most dangerous driv- ing behaviors around pe- destrians include speed- ing, distractions and fail- ure to yield. The agency advises drivers to slow down, put down the cell phone and other distract- ing items and look around and be aware of the sur- roundings and were a pe- destrian may be. During bad weather or at night it is important to look out for pedestrians as it is hard to see during these conditions. The most dangerous behaviors of pedestrians near roadways are jay walking, distraction in- cluding using a cell phone and assuming you can be seen. The agency advises pedestrians to walk facing traffic and as far from traf- fic if possible if there are no sidewalks, pay atten- tion to the traffic moving around them and make eye contact with drivers as they approach. For additional informa- tion regarding the grant, upcoming events or to en- roll in a car seat class, call the agency's Public Health Division at 527-6824.

Stevens and his wife, Marcy, plan to remain in their Dairyville home and continue to be moder- ately active in the com- munity, es- pecially in Red Bluff Rotary and the club's community events and projects. "As news of my clos- ing this professional chapter spreads locally and within the network of professional and per- sonal friendships I have maintained over past de- cades, I expect to be sur- prised," Stevens said. "I believe some pathways only open up once you make yourself available to walk them. I am retir- ing as the senior manager at the Daily News, likely not retiring entirely from the working world and the application of my marketing and leader- ship experience within it." Daily News Circulation Manager Kathy Hogan has accepted the new position of operations manager, and will be the newspa- per's new senior manager. Stevens said he will miss his colleagues at the Daily News but looks for- ward to indulging in mu- sical and artistic pursuits, helping Marcy with her Meyer lemon farm and im- proving his conversational Spanish.

The horses are feeling good ... you might say "feelin' horsey", the sun is warm but the air is brisk. The blend is just right and heady stuff. After much brushing of manes and tails and picking of hooves to dislodge debris, we saddle up and ride past a reviewing stand of Prune and Walnut trees. This is a family outing on a Sunday afternoon and after the horse barn work is complete and the pleasure horses are in the spotlight. Their hair is thicker now but still shinesand they look sleek and fast. Maralyn, our youngest, cracks her crop along the big black horse's flank and he springs into a canter. No more ponies for her. Her mother yells for her to slow down but to no avail for horse and rider are now out of earshot. Madalyn still rides her red pony because he no longer bucks her off. He should probably try to do so for she is getting bored and wants a big horse. Tony, the bay Morgan gelding, has been packing his rider around since both were very young. Tony was briefly ignored during football season, but son Brandon is now back in thesaddle and all is right in their little world. The missus is riding her Saddlebred mare Star Flash Peavine on anEnglish saddle and decked out fashionably in jodhpurs and knee high riding boots. Oldest daughter Melody and I are bringing up the rear and discussing her recent high school dance. I am listening with only one ear while replaying in my mind's eye our ranch activities of years past. We stop at the grove for a drink of water, not for ourselves but for Barney the St. Bernard. Saints get hot even in this mild weather because of their heavy coats. Of course his futile attempt in chasing a rapidly vanishing jackrabbit did not help his internal temperature. "I almost got him!" he proclaims. Uh huh. Only one sad note imposes itself into this otherwise fine day. I look back but don't see Buddy, the boxer and realize he is getting too old to keep up. He comes down to the barn with us and barks at the goat...but when we move out, he lags further and further behind, and the last I can see of him is his standing with front legs apart, his massive head a little lower and his eyes a little dimmer. He waits until we are out of sight, then walks slowly back to the house and sits on the front steps until our return. I wonder if the young and still vigorous St. Bernard knows that someday he will be taking over as the head ranch dog. But that is idle thought. Dogs don't speculate ... they just go and enjoy the ride, wherever the ride might lead them. Robert Minch WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM | NEWS | 7 A
