AZUSAPACIFIC Localstudents make dean's list REDDING Shasta College will host its 6 annual Non- traditional Employment for Women, or NEW, event 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at the college. The event was developed in collaboration with a di- verse group of community stakeholders in 2012. The purpose is to introduce young women to career pathways in the fields of entrepreneurship, fire fight- ing, emergency medical services, administration of justice, computer informa- tion science, heavy equip- ment, automotive and die- sel, manufacturing, weld- ing and construction. This event exposes as many as 240 female stu- dents each year to vari- ous non-traditional career pathways, those in which individuals from one gen- der compromise less than 25 percent of the total workforce. These students will gain hands-on expe- rience such as operating a dozer, putting on a self- contained breathing ap- paratus, firing up a diesel engine or learning how to hold a welding torch. There will be many other activities related to jobs where men typically far outnumber women. A panel of professional women with experience working in these indus- tries will present informa- tion on economic self-suf- ficiency and networking. These women will provide insight and encouragement for women who have an in- terest in exploring these ca- reers. Any interested high school students in the re- gion should contact their counselor at their school to get registered and be a part of this fun and infor- mative event.

SHASTA COLLEGE Non-traditional Employment for Women event set CHICO In an effort to reduce food insecurity among students through- out the California State University system, Cali- fornia State University, Chico's Center for Healthy Communities has joined with the Office of the Chan- cellor in a systemwide ef- fort to conduct CalFresh Outreach with students on college campuses. With CHC serving as lead contractor, the Cal- Fresh Outreach program will operate at 11 campuses to develop resources to in- crease awareness about this important nutrition assistance program, help eligible students apply for CalFresh, and partner with county social service offices to identify and re- duce barriers associated with student enrollment. In 2016, an Office of the Chancellor report in- dicated that 21 percent of CSU students across the state are classified as food insecure by USDA criteria. The USDA defines food in- security as having prob- lems or anxiety about con- sistently accessing ade- quate food, with impacts to the quality, variety and desirability of a diet and the potential for disrupted eating patterns or reduced food intake. "There is much evidence to show that not getting adequate nutrient-dense calories has an impact on performance in school and the ability to process and retain information in the classroom," said CHC As- sociate Director Stepha- nie Bianco. "And when students are food insecure, you add an- other layer of stress. In- stead of worrying about a test, they are worrying about where they will get their next meal or how they can balance paying for food with paying for rent or utilities." The ultimate goal of the CalFresh Outreach pro- gram is for students to ap- ply and begin receiving benefits, Bianco said. Cal- Fresh is the name given in California for the feder- ally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro- gram, SNAP, and it pro- vides additional funding to low-income individu- als or households for nu- tritious foods at partici- pating stores and farmers' markets. Unfortunately, the rate for university student en- rollment in this food as- sistance program is signif- icantly lower than state- wide participation. For example, 20 percent of Cal- Fresh eligible Chico State students are currently en- rolled in the program, compared to 63 percent of CalFresh eligible Califor- nia residents. "People often think that with financial aid, students don't need social services. But financial aid doesn't always cover basic needs, especially in areas with high costs of living," Bi- anco said. "What's critically impor- tant about this funding is that it will assist students who may otherwise drop out of college and remain in a cycle of poverty." Through the 2017–18 ac- ademic year, the CalFresh Outreach program will operate at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State LA, Chico State, CSU Domin- guez Hills, Cal State East Bay, CSU Long Beach, CSU Northridge, CSU San Ber- nardino, Fresno State, Humboldt State and Sac- ramento State. With the support of the Chancellor's Office, when CHC reapplies for the program in 2018, it hopes to include outreach efforts at all 23 CSU cam- puses as part of its pro- gramming. The CalFresh Outreach program is funded in part by the United States De- partment of Agriculture, Food Nutrition Service and overseen by the California Department of Social Ser- vices. This program will help CSU students acquire the nutrition assistance they need to support their academic performance and decrease stress associated with the high cost of at- tending college.

MERCY HIGH Information night planned Feb. 21 By Jocelyn Gecker TheAssociatedPress BERKELEY The chaos at the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley, was shock- ing: Protesters set fires, smashed windows, hurled explosives at police and ultimately achieved their goal of canceling an ap- pearance by right-wing provocateur Milo Yian- nopoulos. The scene gained world- wide attention not just be- cause of the mayhem but because of where it took place. UC Berkeley is the birthplace of the free- speech movement and has been known for more than a half-century as a bastion of tolerance. As the university cleaned up Thursday, it struggled with questions about why the violence spun out of control and what has hap- pened to the open-minded Berkeley of the 1960s. "It was not a proud night for this campus," school spokesman Dan Moguluf said, later adding, "We are proud of our history and legacy as the home of the free speech movement." Officials knew there was a potential for violence and went to "extraordinary lengths" to prepare for the event, Mogulof said in a statement. But school au- thorities say they believe the instigators were not Berkeley students. Berkeleywasthelaststop on Yiannopoulus' college tour, which had sparked protests and sporadic vio- lence around the country. He is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and a self-proclaimed inter- net troll whose comments have been criticized as rac- ist, misogynist and anti- Muslim. Dozens of police were calledtoBerkeleyfromnine UC campuses. The student union where the talk was scheduled was locked down hours before the event. Lay- ersofmetalbarricadeswere erected around the build- ing with riot police stand- ing guard inside. But Mogulof said what transpired Wednesday night was unprecedented. The protests started peacefully around 4 p.m. As night fell, the crowd swelled to more than 1,500, police estimated, and "more than 100 armed individuals clad in ninja- like uniforms who utilized paramilitary tactics" infil- trated the crowd and be- gan hurling commercial grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, rocks and other objects at police, Mogulof said. They toppled the metal barricades and used them to bash windows of the stu- dent union and then set fire to a kerosene genera- tor, sparking a blaze that burned for over an hour. Later that night, af- ter the crowds dispersed, a small group took the chaos off campus and into the nearby city streets of Berkeley. Workers at several banks downtown were replacing broken windows Thursday, repairing damaged cash machines and cleaning graffiti from brick walls. Amid the cleanup, a 21-year-old student who supports Trump was bra- zenly attacked on campus. The student, Jack Palkovic, was wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap as he headed to class when a white SUV slammed to a halt, and two students jumped out and pummeled him. Police arrived and ar- rested both men.
