The big things Rosas wants to work on are class size reduction and focusing on the arts, science and his- tory because it does no good if the students can read and write, but are unable to think and process things, Rodriguez said. Thursday, October 18, 2012 – Daily News 7A Marty Mathisen is a long-time Corning resident who has been on the board for almost 29 years. As someone who has demonstrated commitment to the school district, he would like to bring vision for the future and leadership to the board, Mathisen said. A dramatic change will take place in education over the next five years as Cali- fornia adopts the Common Core Standards, which will be nationwide to allow stu- dents to transfer more easily between districts in different states, he said. His experi- ence in education will be helpful, Mathisen said. Lizette Arriaga has lived in Corning for 15 years and loves that it is a community that comes together, she said. Beatrice Delgado, beloved Aunt Bea, born December 7, 1936, and raised at the Delgado homestead in Gerber, peacefully passed away the afternoon of October 9th in her home. She retired to Gerber in the 1980's, returning to Gerber after a career that culminated with retirement from Chevron, Modesto. She then worked for Blue Shield in Red Bluff for 15 years, finally retiring to enjoy world travel, gardening, exploring new experiences, and volun- teering. She frequently volunteered to participate in walk-a-thons raising funds for autism research, prevention of cancer and domestic violence, and animal protection. Beatrice truly enjoyed singing for many years with the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale. It filled her spirit with joy. Surviving are her sister, Josephine Martin of Gerber and her brothers, Tom of Shingletown and Jess (Sharon) of Magalia; and brother-in-law Luther 'Cookie' Clements. Beatrice was preceded in death by father and mother, Pascual and Tomasa Delgado; her sisters Margaret and husband, Cecil Ojeda, Ernestine Clements, and Eleanor Wilhelm; and brothers Cayatano (Kay) and wife, Vera Smith, and Marcelino, Pascual, and Natalio Delgado and Nato's wife, Lavern, and brother-in-law Melvin Martin and nephew Mel Martin. Beatrice is survived by many cous- ins and friends, including over 20 nieces/nephews and over 34 grand nieces/nephews. The Rev. Earl Clements, Greenfield, will conduct a memorial service on Saturday, October 20th, at 1 p.m., Gerber Bible Fellowship, Samson Avenue. A celebration of Aunt Bea's life will continue at her home, 301 Santa Maria Avenue.

The median price for lowest number of default notices since there were 46,760 in the first quarter of 2007. The numbers further eased concern about a flood of distressed sales to slow or even reverse the housing market's recovery. On the flip side, the dearth of fore- closures has meant slimmer pickings for buyers seeking to take advantage of low interest rates and an improv- new and existing houses and condominiums in California reached $287,000 last month, up 15.3 percent from $249,000 a year earli- er and its highest since August 2008, according to San Diego-based DataQuick. Her experience as a preschool teacher for Head Start and working toward a bachelors degree in Mental Health are what she brings to the table, Arriaga said. She would like to start "I also believe we're a small city and we can leave the politics and ego outside," Cardenas said. "I'd like to be transparent and perform our service in the public eye and to have a oneness as a coun- cil, working with the com- munity for the best interest of us all. My first priority is to be a public servant." He would like to see the city conserve as much as it can and where possible pre- serve local programs by working together with the community from Corning Youth Basketball run by vol- unteer coach and Corning teacher Phil Mishoe to the Pay it Forward group who beautifies downtown, Car- denas said. Cardenas said Corning has 77 homes in foreclosure or starting the process and he would like to see something done with them because what happens to those prop- erties impacts the others around them, he said.

Mayor Gary Strack, who runs for his seat every two years, is running partly because his wife Clara con- vinced him he should and partly because he has unfin- ished business, including the new skate park and the end- ing of furloughs, he said. He would like to see more younger people involved in local government, Strack said. Long-time Corning resi- dent Charles Rouse is run- ning for the Assembly dis- trict three seat.

He would like to work on smarter timber management, more water supply infra- structure and less federal government spending. "It's a shameful legacy of $16.4 trillion debt," LaMalfa said. "California spent money it didn't have on the high speed rail system. We need to cut off that money and put it to I-5, 99W and other roads and the schools not pie in the sky projects." LaMalfa would like to focus on bringing jobs back to the United States and work on cutting back on taxes and regulations that are "chasing businesses out of California", he said. Smith has spent 12 years helping organize parades and other chamber events and has worked for seven years with Corning Christ- ian Assistance (CCA), she said.
