A WEEK AGO Tuesday night, a packed house celebrated the 25 years of Larry Tunzi’s service to the Comptche Volunteer Fire Department and the community of Comptche. Mr. T is retiring, not that we don’t expect to see him on the local fire lines. As one admirer put it, “Larry's gift to the Comptche community was the time, expertise and dedication he gave and never failing to perform his duties.” We’d always hoped that this smart, versatile, modest man would run for supervisor someday, and he’s still pretty young

LONG-TIME FIRE DEPARTMENT VOLUNTEER and Boonville battalion chief Jim Minton has retired. Fortunately for us, he will continue to be involved in an advisory capacity and remain available for special projects. This modest man has been a stalwart volunteer for many years of selfless service to Valley residents via all-hours medical aids and fire responses. He has been a gift to us all. At a minimum Minton deserves a plaque on the Fire House wall.
