Assemblywoman Hadwick Champions Wildfire Safety, Insurance Equity, and Wildlife Management
Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick remains dedicated to addressing key issues affecting Modoc, Lassen, and Plumas counties. She recently presented Assembly Bill 297, aimed at increasing penalties for arsonrelated offenses, a crucial measure for wildfire management in these regions. Her recent appointment to the Assembly Insurance Committee marks a significant step forward for residents in fire-prone areas, focusing on improving insurance equity, wildfire preparedness, and investments in home-hardening initiatives to enhance community resilience. Effective homehardening measures can significantly reduce wildfire damage, potentially saving homeowners thousands annually in insurance premiums and
mitigation costs. Several bills directly impacting rural Northern California communities are advancing:
AB 441 – Makes the California Wildfire Mitigation Program permanent, extending wildfire research efforts until 2033. California spent approximately $1.3 billion fighting wildfires in 2023 alone; proactive prevention could substantially reduce future financial impacts.
AB 442 –Proposes expanding environmental exemptions for critical fire prevention projects in areas with limited evacuation routes.
AB 994 – Focuses on enhancing environmental hazard response programs to protect the agricultural, forestry, and tourism sectors crucial to the local economies.
AB 1038 – Mandates reinstatement of non-
lethal bear hazing techniques by the Fish and Game Commission, addressing humanwildlife conflicts in Northern California.
More details, including recent media coverage, are available in Assemblywoman Hadwick’s monthly newsletter.
Assemblywoman Hadwick, alongside Senator Dahle, will speak at the Northern California Water Association’s Annual Meeting on Friday, March 7th, at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., discussing vital water management issues affecting the region.

Proposed Medicaid Cuts and Expiring Telehealth Coverage Could Threaten Modoc County Seniors’ Care
By: Staff Writer
House Republicans recently approved a budget proposal that includes deep cuts to Medicaid, raising concerns about its impact on California’s Medi-Cal program and rural communities like Surprise Valley and the broader Modoc County region. The cuts, estimated at $880 billion over 10 years, could lead to major reductions in healthcare funding.
Medi-Cal provides coverage to nearly 15 million Californians, including 41% of the state’s children. Many seniors, people with disabilities, and lowincome workers rely on the program. If federal funding decreases, California may struggle to maintain current benefits. Rural areas, where hospitals depend on Medicaid reimbursements, could be hit hardest.
Surprise Valley’s hospital and nursing home could face significant financial strain, potentially leading to closures.
Seniors and long-term care residents would have fewer options for care, forcing them to travel long distances or go without treatment.
Adding to the concern, Medicare coverage for telehealth visits is set to expire on March 31. In past years, lawmakers extended this coverage
before it lapsed. However, with recent aggressive cost-cutting measures, it remains uncertain whether the program will continue.
Losing telehealth access would be another blow to seniors in rural areas, who often rely on virtual visits to avoid long trips for medical care.
Modoc Medical Center in Alturas, which serves the entire county, could also feel the impact.
The center is currently building a new 50-bed skilled nursing facility (SNF) to expand senior care. If Medicaid cuts go through, funding for long-term care services could be at risk, making it more difficult to operate the new facility as planned.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa, who represents Modoc County, has supported past budget cuts but has recently expressed concerns. His office, however, continues to downplay the effects of the proposed reductions.
Some local residents believe consistent calls to his office could persuade him to vote against the cuts.
Advocates urge Modoc County residents to contact LaMalfa’s office directly, as leaving messages may be ineffective. With critical healthcare services at risk, they argue that community action is essential. Where to write

Letters to the editor
Dear Editor:
I wrote the an article on the Mule Deer population in the Modoc Record in 2019, and at that time the California Fish and Game announced in the Modoc Record that they were going to have a meeting in Sacramento to figure out why there was the declining of the Mule Deer population.
I don’t know what went on at that meeting, but I have a good idea, they figured the mountain lion, black bear, bob cat and coyotes weren’t doing their jobs, so they decided to bring wolves in to help them out.
Since the early 1970’s, the Mule Deer herds have slowly been declining in this area. It is now down more than 80 percent than it was. If you had any brains, at all, doesn’t that tell you something is drastically wrong.
Right now, coyotes are the only predator that we can legally control. All the California Fish and Game care about is to protect the predators, not the game. And right now, the Mule Deer numbers are on the decline.
So now, we better start having a season on the predators, so maybe the game and ranch animals have a fighting chance.
Bill Reeves Surprise Valley, CA
Dear Editor,
We are expressing our concern for the many people in Modoc who depend on Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP. The government will shut down after Friday if an agreement isn’t made. Congress is divided in their priorities. The majority seem to want to take funds allotted to the most vulnerable and use them to pay for the tax cuts for companies and the very rich. Those who have private insurance will see higher premiums. Everyone probably knows someone who depends on these services.
By the time this is distributed Congress could have already reached an agreement. But, a phone call to our Representative, Doug LaMalfa, could sway his vote. In the preliminary budget bill voting, he voted YES on the budget that would cut these services. By the time this gets to the readers, the decision will probably have been made. Budget decisions are decided in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
What if he got 500 calls telling him to vote NO? 1000?
Take action- Call your Representative, Doug LaMalfa, on his phone in DC 202-225-3076

Modoc County Officials Push for Emergency Action on Wolf Crisis
By Shaelene Tims
In response to a growing crisis, Modoc County officials are taking formal steps to address the escalating threat posed by gray wolves. Modoc County Sheriff Tex Dowdy has submitted a letter to California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director Chuck Bonham, calling for immediate action to protect local ranchers and residents from increasing wolf depredations.
Since late December, at least six cattle and one sheep have been confirmed killed by wolves in Modoc County and the assumed number is closer to 11. Recent incidents indicate that some livestock were slaughtered but left uneaten, raising concerns that wolf behavior is shifting beyond predation for sustenance. As attacks occur closer to homes and ranches, officials warn that the potential for human-wolf encounters is increasing. Every day it seems like there are reports of more wolf sightings.
In his letter, Dowdy highlights the lack of legal mechanisms allowing local law enforcement to remove wolves that pose an imminent threat to public safety. He points to Fish and Game Code Section 4801, which grants authorities the ability to remove mountain lions under similar circumstances, but no such provision currently exists for wolves.
“The rising incidence of cattle depredation, particularly near residences, has generated serious concerns about the safety of the families who live and work on these ranches,” Dowdy wrote. “It is imperative that we rectify this health and safety matter without delay.”
The letter marks the first formal step toward seeking a state of emergency declaration for Modoc County, a move that could provide additional resources and legal avenues to address the issue. County officials and livestock producers have repeatedly voiced concerns about the long-term impacts of unchecked wolf activity, citing not only financial losses but also emotional and safety risks for ranching families.
As the situation continues to develop, local leaders are awaiting a response from CDFW and exploring further legal and policy options to protect both livestock and rural communities.

Claudia Lizanne Flournoy MacKintosh passed to eternity in Reno, Nevada, Thursday evening, February 27, 2025, after internment struggles battling breast cancer. Claudia was born in Sacramento to Warren J. and Beverly Richards Flournoy August 18, 1954. Her parents and brother, Rodney Flournoy, lived and ranched in Jess Valley where Claudia lived until the fall of 1963 when Warren and Beverly completed their new house north-east of Likely. They moved in during early September which enabled Claudia to start her 3rd grade year at Likely’s South Fork Elementary School with a much shorter commute than coming in from Jess Valley. During her first 9 years in the valley she learned to ride horses quite well, had a bay mare later she showed and rode in 4-H. She also helped Violet McKee with work in the cookhouse as
Violet did a wonderful job cooking for the crew there. Claudia attended grades 1 – 8 in Likely from the fall of 1960 to May of 1968 graduating with two other students, Pearce Flournoy and Kitty Jensen. She was very fortunate to have excellent teachers in Likely with Mrs. McCunnif as her 1st grade teacher. Then an old time school marm from Montana, Mrs. Lynch 2nd through 4th grades. Those ladies taught the basics very well. In 5th through 8th grades Wes Buffum was the principal of the school, which had about 40 students in all 8 grades, and taught the big room all subjects and also band practice as well as hunter safety and how to handle and use a gun with accuracy safety. There were big open fields behind the school house where they could shoot at a target under Mr. Buffum’s supervision. So much for no guns in the school.
Claudia started her freshman year in high school the fall of 1968 in Alturas, and graduated in May of 1972. During high school she was a cheerleader all 4 years, as well as being in the Girls Athletic Association under the guidance and care of Mrs. Oxley. She also participated in track, volleyball, and basketball and was Basketball Queen her senior year. When she turned 16 she got a 1962 Buick 2 door sedan from her older cousin Becky Flournoy which served her well ‘til she moved out to Reno to attend University of Nevada and take nursing courses which required four years to complete. She quit for one semester due to a disagreement she had with one of the teachers but resumed and finished and graduated in December of 1976. Her Dad didn’t like the idea of her quitting over a disagreement and told her he hoped he hadn’t raised up a quitter. In nursing, she worked a short time in emergency room care but soon found her calling as an oncology nurse. She worked for Dr. Shields awhile and then in 1982 she met F. Roy MacKintosh, MD PhD who had recently joined the faculty of the University of Nevada School Of Medicine. They worked together for a time and were married January 7, 1984 there in Reno, The first couple of years going to school, Claudia lived at the dorms at U.N.R. and forged lifelong friendships with Lindee Burroughs, Kristin Lewandowski and Charlene Bybee. Then Claudia bought a house up on Pennsylvania Avenue. In 1986 she and Roy bought the house he still has on Lakeside
Drive. Claudia left full time nursing to be a homemaker in 1990, during which time she helped care for her aged Uncle John Flournoy and later his wife, Ruth when she needed help. Roy and Claudia’s son Gregory Warren MacKintosh was born September 12, 1990 there in Reno. Roy and Claudia traveled extensively during their marriage, often with friends and family. They visited 15 countries on 4 continents and traveled throughout the USA, with Hawaii and Alaska being favorites.
Claudia’s parents Warren and Beverly needed help and care during their last years from about 2003 to Beverly’s death July 13, 2005 at the age of 81 ½, and then Warren’s death November 14, 2005 at the age of 85 ½. Claudia and Roy provided the very best of care for them at their Lakeside Drive home. Claudia and Roy were able to take some interesting trips with close friends through the years. An event Claudia and all her family enjoyed was when she was a Debutante in Sacramento in the fall of 1973. Everyone wore the dressiest clothes they could get a hold of.
Claudia leaves behind her loving husband, Roy MacKintosh, son, Gregory MacKintosh, two stepdaughters Lisa and Wendy MacKintosh, her brother Rodney Flournoy. One aged cousin Tom Richards on her mother’s side. On Warren’s side, Claudia was one of Arthur and Lutie Flournoy’s 24 grandchildren, of which she was the 8th one to pass. All we cousins are closer than most brothers and sisters are. Interestingly the eldest cousin Jimmy Anble, born
in 1929, and the youngest cousin, Craig Flournoy, born in 1961, are still among the living. Special thanks to her longtime friends Lindee Burroughs, Kristin Lewandowski and Annabelle Kozel who shared many hours with the family during Claudia’s final hospital stay. Funeral services are planned for March 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Federated Church, 307 East 1st Street, Alturas, California with burial in the family plot at the Likely Cemetery.
Linda retired in 1995. Retirement gave her the opportunity to be a mother and a grandmother which kept her busy. Linda’s death fulfilled her fondest dream and that was to be in heaven for eternity with Jesus Christ and loved ones who had preceded her.
Linda is survived by daughter and son-in-law Jerry and Carmen Kresge, son Byron Conner and Erin Glebe, grandchildren Chase Conner and Hailey Conner. Celebration of Life will be held, March 22, at 11:00 a.m., at the Adin Community Hall, where lunch will be provided.
Linda (Sayre) Conner was born on December 5,1940 in Marion, KS and passed away on March 6, 2025. She was the only child of Melvin and Murel (Slater) Sayre. She started school in Quincy, CA, and moved back to Kansas during the 5th grade. In 1958, she graduated from Elk City, KS and attended Emporia State Teachers College, graduating in 1962. Linda’s lifetime ambition was to be a High School English teacher. In 1963, she was accepted into the PEACE CORPS and sent to Liberia, West Africa for two years as a teacher. In 1965, Linda moved to Bieber, CA to teach at Big Valley High School. There she married and had two children. In 1980, Linda attended Chico State, earning an Administrative Credential and was employed by Modoc Joint Unified School District as a teacher and later as principal.
Daniel (Dan) Forest Winkle
Daniel (Dan) Forest Winkle was born on November 07, 1939, to Donald A. Winkle and Edna G. Winkle in Pittville, CA. Dan passed away on February 9, 2025, in Reno, NV.
Dan was a long time Alturas resident. He grew up in Keswick, CA. and attended Shasta High School.
Dan worked in sawmills until he went to work for the City of Redding Dump in 1999. He moved to Alturas where he went to work for Modoc County Social Services as a janitor, until he decided to fully retire.
He loved to hunt and fish and loved the outdoors.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Donald J. Winkle and Steven A. Winkle.
He is survived by his nephews Austin and Forrest Winkle
Linda (Sayre) Conner
and nieces Geraldine Lukamier, Mary Montoy, Diana Beterbide.

The storm will begin Tuesday night with clouds increasing and a slight chance of rain initially, transitioning into rain and snow after midnight, particularly above elevations of 3,5004,000 feet.
Conditions will worsen significantly on Wednesday as the storm
strengthens. Rain and snow are highly likely, with snow levels around 3,500 to 4,000 feet. High temperatures will only reach into the lower to mid-40s, accompanied by strong south winds between 20 and 30 mph, and gusts possibly reaching 45 mph. By Wednesday night, precipitation will shift primarily to snow as temperatures drop into the mid-20s.
Heavy, wet snow is expected Wednesday evening through Thursday morning, potentially falling at rates of an inch or more per hour. The most
substantial snowfall will occur above 4,000 feet, with considerable accumulation likely in the higher elevations, particularly in the Klamath and Siskiyou mountains.
Snow showers will continue Thursday, potentially reaching elevations as low as 1,500 feet by morning, with daytime temperatures remaining cold, only reaching into the mid-30s. The storm’s effects will linger into Friday and through the weekend, maintaining colder conditions and consistent snowfall.

Meth Conviction Highlights Ongoing Challenges for Lassen and Modoc Counties
Jose Magallanes, 42, of Susanville, was recently convicted of methamphetamine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia following a jury trial.
A recent jury conviction in Susanville, Lassen County, highlights ongoing concerns over methamphetamine possession and drugrelated offenses, issues equally pressing for Modoc County. The jury found a local man guilty of possessing methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, although he was acquitted of violating a domestic violence restraining order. This conviction, announced last week, spotlights persistent challenges facing rural Northern California communities
in addressing drug crimes and repeat offenses.
Significantly, this conviction follows the November passage of Proposition 36, which made methamphetamine possession a “priorable” offense, meaning repeated convictions can result in increasingly severe penalties. This change in state law represents an effort to give law enforcement and judicial authorities stronger tools to manage repeat offenders, potentially affecting policy decisions and enforcement strategies in Modoc County.
For Modoc County, recurring drug-related cases like this create strain on limited county resources, particularly within local law enforcement agencies,
court systems, and jail facilities. With recidivism rates a persistent challenge, the ability to impose cumulative sentencing could alter how local justice systems approach repeat drug offenders, balancing the need for public safety with rehabilitation opportunities. The ongoing issue of drug offenses significantly impacts rural communities, placing burdens on already limited budgets and jail facilities. Organizations like Modoc Public Health are helping explore community-based treatment programs and alternative solutions to address the underlying causes of addiction, aiming to break the cycle of recidivism.
As counties adapt to the legislative changes
observe shifts in how drug offenses are addressed, reflecting broader statewide efforts to combat drug dependency while reducing strain on local resources.
introduced by Proposition 36, residents in Modoc and neighboring Lassen and Plumas counties may
Students Shine at STEM Preliminaries
On February 21st and February 28th, 2025, a collaboration of Surprise Valley Jr/Sr High School, Tulelake High School, Modoc Middle and Modoc High Schools, and Alturas Elementary brought sixty enthusiastic students together for competitive MESA events. The two days of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) contests were in-person and virtual and filmed by the David Z Foundation for the K12 Strong Workforce. That program is a RISE-MESA college preparation partnership with a Modoc Consortium project titled “Creating Equity through Learn to Earn”.
MESA Preliminaries is a pathway in curriculum and instruction to college and career exploration. It offers 6-12th grade youth STEM activities, including competitions where they showcase their skills and knowledge locally to become eligible for a regional event to qualify for State and National competitions, medals, and prizes. The recent two-day MESA Preliminaries fostered a spirit of collaboration and learning amongst students, staff, and volunteers.
MESA Director Billie Austin, expressed her gratification for the number of youth who upheld their early commitment to the contests with attendance and serious participation, noting, “It was inspiring to see so many students come together, engaged in STEM learning—it highlights the talent and potential in our communities.”
Austin credited success results of the Live Prelim competition r to the significant efforts of RISE Director Lisa Craig, Surprise
Valley Jr/Sr High MESA Advisors Ingunn Ringvold and Damond Goodwin, Modoc MESA Advisor Laurisa Craig, and parent volunteer Amanda Travers. She humbly skipped over her remarkable recruitment of motivated elementary youth into the MESA event. With skilled assistance from STEM Teacher Eleanor Dorton, fifth-graders were featured at Preliminaries, showcasing their creativity in a Complex Machines contest. As young inventors, Alturas Elementary students invested a month in creation and testing to demonstrate impressive and innovative problemsolving.
Mentoring from Austin and the team of College Options Upward Bound Advisor Chantz Witt, Dan Roeder from the David Z Foundation, and Computer Programming Teacher Erin Sandage resulted in Modoc Middle School 7th-8th graders impressing judges in Computer Programming.
Middle school teams utilized STEM skills, building workforce skills, by creating, constructing, and programming robots for competition in themed challenges.
MESA Prelims not only equipped students with valuable experience in STEM-related career fields, but inspired them to pursue further educational and career opportunities in vital health and service areas. Roeder expressed his favorite experience, which will be in MESA film, “Having a student say on Zoom recording ‘Before this class I didn’t ever think I could do this [robotics], but now I think I want to study this for a job!’ was rewarding and inspiring. Seeing the growing enthusiasm for
STEM education ensures a bright future for the young minds of Modoc County.”
Middle school team awards for grades 6-8MATH ESCAPE first place went to Iiyan Nabahe-Henry and Xia Marrow, with second place to Coral Garcia Chavala and Alhetzi Mendoza.
MOON BASE first place was Andrew Anguiano and Caelen Huchstaedt. In second place were Tianna Horse and Iiyan Nabahe-Henry.

March Snowpack Update
Snowpack levels in northeast California remain stable, with measurements across the area tracking near or above seasonal norms, according to data from the SNOTEL network on the Sno-Flo website.
Snowpack Levels by Location
Dismal Swamp (7,360 ft; 42.00, -120.18): 93
inches (130% of normal)
Cedar Pass (7,074 ft; 41.58, -120.30): 62 inches (96% of normal)
Nohrsc Strawberry (5,786 ft; 42.13, -120.84): 12 inches (109% of normal)
Nohrsc Adin Mountain (6,196 ft; 41.59, -120.30): 41 inches (92% of normal)
Adin Mtn (6,190 ft; 41.25, -120.79): 42 inches (113% of normal)
Snow Water Equivalent (SWE)
Dismal Swamp: 44%
Cedar Pass: 34%
Strawberry: 69%
Nohrsc Adin Mountain: 60%
Adin Mtn: 40%
These SWE measurements are key indicators of how much water will become available for reservoirs, irrigation, and groundwater recharge as snow melts. Forecasts indicate additional snow accumulation over the coming days of the week of March 10th 2025, particularly at higher elevations. March temperatures have been moderate, helping to preserve snowpack levels despite occasional snowmelt events. Overall, the region’s snowpack is in good condition for March, supporting a positive water supply outlook. Continued monitoring will be crucial as spring temperatures influence snowmelt patterns and
water availability. Look for the Record’s snowpack update in April.

Modoc High School’s Adin Benson Commits to Simpson University Red Hawks
Modoc High School
standout Adin Benson is taking his talents to the collegiate level, officially committing to play football for the Simpson University Red Hawks.
Surrounded by family, friends, and coaches, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound offensive tackle signed his letter of intent on Friday, marking the next step in his athletic and academic journey. Benson played a crucial role in leading Modoc to the playoffs this past season, earning recognition for his ability to create running lanes and protect his quarterback. His dominance in the trenches earned him the title of Shasta Cascade League MVP Lineman in his senior season.
Benson was highly recruited, receiving three Division I offers and attracting interest from several other programs. However, he ultimately felt that Simpson University was the best fit for him.
“Simpson felt like home, and being at a Christian school will help me get closer to God,” Benson said. “They seemed the most interested in me, and I wanted to go somewhere I felt truly appreciated. I have hope for this program, and I really like the coaching staff.”
Simpson Head Coach Shawn Daniel expressed his enthusiasm for Benson’s decision, emphasizing his talent, athleticism, and leadership qualities.
“His athletic ability is
superior. He’s one of the best we’ve seen in the Northstate, and we’ve had our eye on him for two years,” Daniel said.
Beyond his abilities on the field, Benson has also excelled academically, making him an ideal fit for Simpson’s program. Coach Daniel described him as a model student-athlete who embodies the values the Red Hawks strive for in their program.
Benson plans to major in business while helping build the up-and-coming Simpson football program. As he embarks on this new chapter, he carries with him the support of his Modoc community, eager to watch him succeed at the next level.

Future Leaders of America Wanted for The American Legion’s Boys and
Linda Newman, Commander, American Legion Post 163
The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organization, is inviting all members of Modoc County to join them in sponsoring young men and women to attend The American Legion’s Boys and Girls State this summer in Sacramento, California.
“These young men and women are the future leaders of America,” said Linda Newman, commander of Clifford Harter Post 163. “We are seeking students with outstanding qualifications in character and leadership to attend one of the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction ever designed for high school students.”
High school juniors are selected in early spring by local American
Legion posts to attend the program, which will be held at California State University, Sacramento from June 21 st through June 27th.
“It is a participatory program where each young man and young woman becomes a part of the operation of their local, county and state government,” said Newman. In most cases, a sponsoring American Legion post, a local business or another communitybased organization pays expenses associated with attending this program. If you are an individual, business or organization that wants to help with the funding of sending a young person from our community, please contact Commander Newman.
“I encourage the entire community – and in particular high school counselors, community leaders and business
owners – to submit their recommendations for candidates to attend The American Legion Boys and Girls State program,” said Newman. “Last year we sent Collin Gardner now a Senior at Modoc High School. He said he thoroughly enjoyed his time there, and he recommends others attend if they can.”
The training at The American Legion Boys and Girls State is objective and practical with city, county and state governments operated by the students elected to the various offices. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies, bands, chorus and recreational programs.
American Legion Boys State is currently conducted in 49 Departments of The American Legion;
State
however, only California’s program is co-ed and allows participation by Girls. Hawaii does not conduct a program. As separate corporations, each State’s Boys State programs vary in content and method of procedure, but each and every Boys State adheres to the basic concept of
Blankets for Senior Citizens
Each year, the Rotary Club of Alturas identifies needs within our community and decides which situations we can address. This year, in the far northeastern corner of California, where temperatures dropped well below freezing for days at a time, we decided to purchase blankets for older adults. We bought two hundred custom-designed soft plush blankets, each embroidered with
the program - that of teaching government from the township to the state level.
”The American Legion’s Boys and Girls State program in California is a unique way for young people to learn about the American system of government by taking part in a mock governmental system,” said Newman.
our “Rotary Club of Alturas” logo. Once they arrived, Rotarians, a local Interact youth, and T.E.A.C.H (a local non-profit organization) delivered the blankets to homebound individuals in Alturas and Cedarville, as well as to patrons at the Alturas and Cedarville Senior Centers, Warnerview Skilled Nursing Facility, and the Surprise Valley Community Hospital Skilled Nursing Facility.
For more information on The American Legion’s Boys and Girls State program, contact Linda Newman 530708-2478 or by email at alturaspost163@gmail. com
Bill, the driver who delivered the blankets to remote areas while providing “Meals on Wheels,” observed that many recipients were moved to tears by the thoughtful gesture. This project reminds the Rotary Club of Alturas members that we must give our elders the respect and dignity they deserve, for they have made our lives possible.
