Death notices must be provided by mortuaries to the news department, are published at no charge, and feature only specific basic information about the deceased. Paid obituaries are placed through the Classified advertising department. Paid obituaries may be placed by mortuaries or by families of the deceased and include online publication linked to the newspaper's website. Paid obituaries may be of any length, may run multiple days and offer wide latitude of content, including photos. Death notices "I can almost still throw a rock to the first house near the high school," Strack said. "That's how far I got." Strack first joined the council because he said there was a lack of recre- ational opportunities for adults. "I was looking for something positive to do to keep out of the bars," Strack joked. By far the hardest parts of the job were things like the sewer facility, which was one of the first things he was involved in during his early days as a council- man, he said. It was con- troversial in part because of the location. Other memorable projects were a police officer having to be fired, which ended with the firing of a police chief, and the flooding of Stan- mar Drive. Of all the projects, Strack said he is proudest of getting the truck stop area at South Avenue and Interstate 5 annexed into the city, which was a big job, and the recently com- pleted streetscape project on Solano Street, which took several years. "It's a very good proj- ect," Strack said. "It didn't flood like people said it would." During his tenure, Strack has worked with five different city manag- ers and at least three city clerks and seen several changes, including estab- lishing a library, Clark field at Estil C. Clark Park and changes in the Corn- ing Museum. "I've enjoyed the pro- cess of working with the citizens, council and staff," Strack said. "It's been total enjoyment. We have an ex- cellent staff in place. I will miss the people, staff and everybody." With his extra time, Strack plans to enjoy his three great-grandchil- dren, taking a trip or two a month to Oregon to visit his daughter and two grandsons and work- ing on cars and his six- acre olive orchard as a hobby farmer. Mayor FROM PAGE 1 Park — she is now a science advisor and plant ecologist at North Cascades National Park. During the next four years, Gibbons worked sea- sonally both at Cape Cod National Seashore and Mount Rainier in resource management, law enforce- ment and as a stay-home dad for their two sons, Shane and Taylor. He even- tually returned to year- round status at Mount Rainier in 1988 and was responsible for supervising the re-vegetation and res- toration crews at Paradise. In 1990, Steve moved to the Pacific Northwest Re- gional Office in Seattle as a resource management spe- cialist. In 1992, he became the National Natural Land- marks Program coordina- tor for the region. For the next 22 years the program was his primary focus, in- cluding the region's Threat- ened and Endangered Spe- cies Program. Highlights of Gibbons' career include the hydro- logic monitoring of 2.5 million acres throughout Everglades and Big Cy- press National Preserve via airboat, powerboat and helicopter; the de- velopment and applica- tion of an Air Quality Re- lated Value Inventory "pi- lot study" to 15 parks in the Southwest Region; 13 acting assignments, nine of which were as superin- tendent; being a graduate of the Natural Resource Management Trainee Pro- gram and former Wom- en's Executive Leadership Program; recipient of $1.2 million in matching Chal- lenge Cost Share Program funds in support of 32 na- tional natural landmark projects; the honor and privilege to share life ex- periences and stories with Hansen disease patients at Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Ha- waii; a snow play ranger position at Mount Rain- ier; the oversight of four centennial celebrations — Mount Rainier, Lassen Peak Eruption, Lassen Vol- canic and the park service — and a successful 32-year dual career in the National Park Service. Gibbons said career highlights are fun to rem- inisce about but it is the people — friends, col- leagues and partners — and the relationships forged that will carry him into retirement. Messages can be for- warded to Gibbons by mailing them to Superin- tendent's Secretary, Lassen Volcanic National Park, P.O. Box 100, Mineral, CA 96063 or by e-mail to lavo_infor- mation@nps.gov. Retire FROM PAGE 1 activities. PG&E demol- ished the motel in 2011 and cleanup work has been un- dertaken since. Potential contaminants of concern include diesel, gas, motor oil and polynu- clear aromatic hydrocar- bons — chemicals released when organic matter is burned. Work will includes re- moval of vegetation, and installation of screening; digging out 11,800 cubic yards — about 800 truck- loads — of shallow soil; transportation of soil in trucks via a city-approved truck route to off-site, li- censed disposal facilities; on-site treatment of 11,400 cubic yards of deeper soil by mixing soil with cement and stabilizing it in place and general site activities, including backfilling and compacting the area with clean, imported soil to al- low for drainage and future development. Work is scheduled to be- gin Monday and potentially continue through Septem- ber. Hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. Crews will be moni- toring air in the work area and around the site perimeter; controlling odor and dust with wa- ter, tarps, foam and other measures, as needed; con- trolling noise with tempo- rary sound walls; doing work with vibrations dur- ing the middle of the day and cleaning and cover- ing trucks with tarps be- fore trucks exit the site. As with all heavy con- struction work, there will be some noise and vibra- tions. As many as six trucks will enter and exit the sire per hour. In order to minimize traffic impacts, workers will stage trucks off-site. Workers may temporarily close sidewalks next to the site, remove some parking spaces on Rio Street near the site and use flaggers to help move truck traffic along.

Wright emphasized the need not only to develop an economic strategy, but business retention using the example of Minneapo- lis, which has a number of fortune 500 companies that are homegrown businesses. "We need to take care of what we have and have good infrastructure and shovel ready projects," Wright said. Tehama County Chief Ad- ministrator Bill Goodwin gave an update on a pro- posaltoconnecttherailroad to Humboldt County, which would help with the ship- ping of Tehama County ag- riculturalprojectsbygetting them to the coast and then overseasmuchfaster,hesaid. "Trinity County had re- ceived a CalTrans Strategic Partnership grant to com- plete the Upstate Califor- nia Railconnect Feasibility Study," Goodwin said. "The study will investigate the physical and environmen- tal feasibility of construct- ing a rail line from the Port of Humboldt to the existing north-south railway corri- dor in Tehama County." Included in the study will be the costs associated with constructing up to three al- ternative alignments, but there will not be a market analysis included at this time. The total budget of $345,000 for the study in- cludes $126,000 in State funds and $160,000 in Fed- eral funds, Goodwin said. The Request for Qualifi- cations for a study consul- tant should be released by the spring and the selected consultant will begin to prepare the study by late 2017. The anticipated com- pletion date for the study is the summer of 2019. The group voted to meet on an as-needed basis. For more information, visit www.tehama4busi- ness.org.
