Tonight was the final board meeting for our retiring Executive Director, Tricia Stever Blattler. Her official tenure will end on July 1.

In a fitting tribute the Board of Directors made a meaningful presentation to Tricia by dedicating the new mural in her honor. A permanent plaque now proudly is displayed on the building next to the mural to honor her two decades of service.

Staff member Susan Bueno, administrative coordinator was also honored with a 10-year service award for her outstanding service and dedication.

Bank of the Sierra also presented a $10,000 charitable grant award to the Farm Bureau’s Youth Leadership program, one of TCFB’s most successful and important projects, and one very near and dear to retiring director Stever Blattler.

Today is D-Day Remembrance Day... on June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord — the massive amphibious invasion of N**i-occupied France along the beaches of Normandy. It became one of the largest and most consequential military operations of World War II, involving thousands of ships, aircraft, and ground troops across multiple nations.

The operation marked a turning point in the war in Europe, eventually leading to the liberation of Western Europe from N**i control. The fighting on the beaches — Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword — came at a heavy cost, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded on the first day alone.

Today, D-Day is remembered not just as a military milestone, but as a moment defined by sacrifice, coordination, and courage from ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances.

It remains one of the most studied and honored events of the 20th century.

A day to remember those who never made it home.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family. Til was a great man and he will be missed.

Visalia Livestock Market would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Til Cheney.
Til was a longtime friend and a true member of the VLM family. He was a jovial, great-spirited man who always seemed to carry a positive attitude and a smile with him wherever he went. One of his favorite sayings was, “That’s what I’m talking about,” and anyone who knew Til can probably hear him saying it now.
Til was always there when someone needed anything, and his kindness, friendship, and cowboy spirit will not be forgotten. He will be greatly missed by all of us, but we take comfort in knowing he is now soaring with the angels.
Ride, cowboy, ride. Until we meet again, old friend.
