Deathnotices CHIP THOMPSON — DAILY NEWS TheTehamaCountySheriff'sboatpulledthebodyofamanfromtheSacramentoRiverbetweentheShastaCol- lege Tehama campus and the Red Bluff Recreation Area just before 3 p.m. Monday. Scanner reports state the man, possibly intoxicated, had waded into the river further upstream around 2:30 p.m. No additional information was available Monday a ernoon. DROWNING MAN'S BODY PULLED FROM RIVER MONDAY said. "We doubled last year so we hope to triple our num- bers for attendance this year," Greer said. "We have a good number of out-of- towners attend. We've had someone from as far as Sac- ramento so we're pulling from a whole region. It's bringing folks from farther out so it's also got an eco- nomic pull factor." Funds raised from the event will be split between the Conservation Fund, which is the non-profit arm of the Resource Con- servation District formed in spring 2015, and the Dis- covery Center. "The Resource Conserva- tion District serves the com- munity and the Conserva- tion Fund is just a way to further enhance what we do in the community such as pulling together a fun, pos- itive event like this." Red Bluff native Brandon Davison served as the mas- ter of ceremonies for the evening, playing a crucial role as a state water board engineering geologist in connecting the story told in the films with the local level, Greer said. Amanda Jenkins of Red Bluff heard about the event at an Active 20/30 Club meeting and decided to check it out. "It sounded interesting and it's an area I don't know a whole lot about," Jenkins said. "Anywhere I can learn more about the community and other organizations in the area is a good thing." One of several people available to talk with at- tendees was Stephanie Lator who is a geoscientist volunteer at Lassen Volca- nic National Park. "It seems like a pretty cool event," Lator said. "I'm excited to watch the movies and it's great to see people out. It's hard to go wrong with nature movies." The Lassen Park booth aimed to bring awareness to the park and the fact that it is still open in the winter, Lator said. While the road through park is closed, vis- itors can still come to the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center where there are ex- hibits and a gift shop. When the roads are open, there is an audio tour available for download on iTunes and at https://www.nps.gov/lavo/ learn/photosmultimedia/ audio-tours.htm. "It's a great time of year to come visit," Lator said. Bill Greer of Bill Greer Landscaping was at the event in part to support his daughter-in-law, Brin Greer, and son Kevin, who are in- volved in the planning of the event, but also to bring awareness of his business to community members. In addition to doing landscapes, the company can coach people who may want to do a project them- selves but need some assis- tance in planning or advis- ing along the way, Bill Greer said. "It's a good idea and a good way to bring people together to discuss ideas and learn more about be- ing a better steward of the planet," Bill Greer said. The film "Avaatara: The First Route Out" kicked things off with David Lama achieving the first ascent of the Baatara Gorge in Leb- anon. A film called "Cold Waters" focused on the im- pact the climate and global warming has had on the waters, which in turn af- fects fish and the sport of fishing. "Soil Carbon Cowboys" focused on a new way of cattle grazing that brings about a higher concentra- tion of carbon-rich soil that can take in rainfall more ef- ficiently, which in turn al- lows for better crop growth. "Denali" followed it with a film that brought some in the audience to tears in the tale of a photographer, Ben Moon, and his relationship his dog Denali. "Martin's Boat" told the story of Martin Litton, who pioneered whitewater do- ries on the Colorado River in the 1960s, starting a tra- dition of naming the boats after wild places lost or compromised by the hand of man. "Comes With Bag- gage: A Short History of Bi- cycle Travel from Boneshak- ers to Backpackers" covered traveling the Americas by bicycle through the years. "The First Next Time" fo- cused on the Rim Fire that burned 256,000 acres of the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park in 2013, exposing the im- pacts wildfires have on wa- tersheds and wildlife. "The Fisherman's Son" told the story of Ramon Navarro, a surfing world star who has used his fame to speak out for protection of his home- land, Chile, and the cul- ture and environment of the coast land. The final film, "To Slow Down and Breathe," was a three-min- ute video about slack lin- ing. Festival FROM PAGE 1 tional Anthem. 2015 Tehama County Cowbelle of the Year Char- lene Priest announced Irene Fuller as 2016 Te- hama County Cowbelle of the Year. "It's an honor for me to present this because I've known her for years," Priest said. "I've cried on her shoulder, she is al- ways available to the Cat- tleWomen and any other organization she is in- volved with and if some- thing needs to get done you go to her and she gets it done like no other. She's there all the time and she is amazing." Fuller was born and raised in Shasta County, graduated Central Val- ley High School in 1962, joined the Navy and is a veteran of the Vietnam War era. She was married for 29 years to her late hus- band before his passing in 1995. He also served for 28 years in the Navy. Being a Navy wife Fuller held many assorted jobs as they went from station to station. She is also a proud mother and stepmother and grandmother who completed her Associate Degree from Miramar Ju- nior College in 1998 then came to Tehama County to care for her mother and then stepfather on their small ranch west of Red Bluff. Described by 2014 Te- hama County Cowbelle Kelly Mouton as a born a promoter, Fuller has been saying "let's go," "we can do this," "it will be fun," "it's easy" and "it's possi- ble" since she was a child, Mouton said. "With the participation and helping hands of many others, she has promoted, led and guided the Cattle- Women in starting Beef 'N Brew, promoting beef and good will to the Gold County Cutters, Shasta and Tehama County Cat- tleWomen's luncheon at Anselmo Vineyards and Highland Ranch Resort," Mouton said in a written statement. "She loves team work and is pleased to par- ticipate by lend a helping hand to serve at the Cattle- men's Winter Dinner, the Bull & Gelding Sale din- ner, hosting the Cham- ber of Commerce monthly Good Morning Red Bluff at the B&G Sale Western Art show, rodeo mixer or where ever needed." Even though Fuller does not own cattle, through her parents and son, cattle and the Tehama County CattleWomen have be- come an important part of her life. "Cattle have provided us a most enjoyable way of life," Fuller said. "It was wonderful to learn that you did not have to own cattle to join the Cat- tleWomen." Fuller first learned about Tehama County CattleWomen 15 years ago through friendships with Jean Barton in Toastmas- ters and in her neighbor- hood with Barbara Bull- ock and Anne Read. At her first meeting she vol- unteered to bake for and serve at a Cattleman's field day and has enjoyed the camaraderie and the opportunity to serve the Cattle industry ever since, she said. Also honored was Jackie Baker who was in- ducted Saturday as the first ever Lifetime Mem- ber of the Tehama County CattleWomen and pre- sented with a special blan- ket bearing her name and cattle brand presented by Bundy and Shelley Mac- donald. "This is a special woman," Bundy said of Baker before announc- ing who it was. "She has inspired many, been a mentor, solved a lot of problems and guided us through so much." Macdonald shared a story of her first coming to Red Bluff, having been a member of the Humboldt County CattleWomen. At her first meeting, preg- nant with her first child, she met Baker who be- friended her and got her involved with not only the CattleWomen, but the Farm Bureau as well, she said. "Jackie Baker has done so much for agriculture in this community and the nation," Macdonald said. The fashion show in- cluded The Loft and Plum Crazy from Red Bluff, Eddie Bauer and Maurice's from the An- derson outlets as well as Class Girl by Linda Gon- zales and Kiss Me Cow- girl by Bev Govi. Mod- els included Vickie Ker- stiens Mahoney, Christine Donohue, Deborah Stude- baker, Jamie Bell, Gracia McMills, Miss Tehama County Jennifer Silvera, Miss Tehama County First Alternate Gloria Munoz, Miss Tehama County Second Alternate Ellie Fletcher and Senior Beef Ambassador Dani- elle Mueller and Junior Beef Ambassadors Emyli Palmer, Kayla McGiffin and Emma Peterson. Cowbelle FROM PAGE 1 members, is a community service organization that began in 1965 and con- tinues to raise money for scholarships and donations to other organizations with events held throughout the year. Now with 40 years of service to the blood center, the club has saved count- less lives, according to the press release issued by Todd Jones of BloodSource. For Wednesday's cele- bration the club will have a homemade baked goods drawing. All those who do- nate their blood will get a free ticket for the drawing. Blood Drive Coordinator Cheryl Bonham has been with the Emblem Club for many years and lived in Red Bluff for 46 years. She participated in the blood drive in 1985 for a couple of years and then began again five years ago. Many donors have been giving blood since the be- ginning, Bonham said. Getting to see familiar faces come in and do- nate is what Bonham en- joys about participating in the drive, as well as seeing young people donate and learning why they donate. Whenever a big incident happens in the news, such as the Gulf War starting, Bonham said, there has been an influx of dona- tions. BloodSource also does platelet donations, in which blood is drawn, platelets are collected and the remaining blood is re- turned to the body. Red Bluff donates more plate- lets than any other com- munity from north of Sacramento to the Ore- gon border, Bonham said. The platelet drive is every two weeks at the Red Bluff Community Center. Bonham said there are three woman, Hazel Pluim, Bonnie Love and Millie Krick, who have donated cookies and their time to the drive faithfully for more than 30 years. Another notable club member that had made the drive what it is today is June Quincy, who up un- til four years ago worked at the blood drive since it began in 1976. Dolores Van Veghel, Ruth Britt, Hollis Drier and Claudia Brouil- lard have also been active members of the club and the blood drive for many years, Bonham said. BloodSource, which col- lects the donations and dis- tributes it to the local hos- pitals, has served St. Eliza- beth Community Hospital and other regional hospi- tals for decades. Joe Ayer, regional re- cruitment manager for BloodSource, said the or- ganization couldn't pro- vide blood to patients in need without the help of organizations like the Em- blem Club. "The Emblem Club is a shining example of an or- ganization that puts the community's needs first," Ayers said. "What better thing to be involved with than helping save the life of your fellow community member."

Emblem FROM PAGE 1 Trump said in an inter- view with "60 Minutes" broadcast Sunday that im- migration enforcement will concentrate on crim- inals. "What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers," he said. "We have a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million; we are getting them out of our country or we're going to incar- cerate." Trump added: "We're getting them out of our country; they're here il- legally." Obama's Homeland Se- curity Department has operated similarly. Since 2010, criminals com- prised more than half of those deported from the U.S. Over his presidency, Obama has overseen the deportation of more than 2.5 million people. Trump didn't say Sun- day how he will target criminals. He previously has spoken about reviv- ing programs that gave immigration agents ac- cess to jails so they could identify people living in the country illegally. But if Trump does so, local jurisdictions likely will object. Local laws in some places bar cooperation with immigration au- thorities. And some fed- eral court rulings make it difficult for local jails to hold immigrants be- yond their criminal sen- tences or strictly for im- migration violations. It is even harder to deport criminal immi- grants who aren't incar- cerated. Many live in the shadows. Tracking them down would take a lot of time and government money. Deportation costs av- erage about $12,500 per person, according to a 2011 government esti- mate. Trump's estimate of criminals who are in the country illegally is prob- ably much too high. In 2012, Homeland Se- curity officials estimated some 1.9 million crim- inal immigrants in the United States who could be deported. But the government didn't break down how many of those people were in the country le- gally and how many were here illegally. Trump FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.
