ON TIME: McHale Sign Co. worker Mike Verlik installs a 16-foot clock tower Thursday in downtown Redding as Leadership Redding Class of 2004 member Jeff Mulvihill walks past.

Telling time will be easier for passers-by near the Veterans Memorial Hall in downtown Redding, owing to a new clock that was installed Thursday.

The town clock was dedicated Thursday on Yuba Street during the weekly MarketFest and will be known as the Judge Richard B. Eaton Memorial Clock in honor of the late Shasta County judge.

The $13,000 clock comes courtesy of the Leadership Redding Class of 2004 and community donations. Architect James Theimer designed the clock so its stand resembles the misters in nearby Library Park.

"Judge Eaton was considered the town grandfather and historian, and we wanted to honor him with this timepiece," said Michael Burke, the project leader and an alumnus of the Leadership Redding class.

GOING UP: Kevin Corey of McHale Sign Co. prepares the clock face to be lifted by a crane Thursday. The illuminated clock will be handy at night.
