Each student begins high school with the doors to their future wide open. Ideally, a student will do well in high school, complete the required courses, and maintain a respectable GPA. If a student completes this process, they will have many choices before them upon graduation; college, work or the military. Most importantly this progression will make them better prepared no matter what option is selected. There exist a number of obstacles that a student might encounter during high school which can prevent them from accessing all of their options. The mission of College OPTIONS is to educate students about their choic- es for life after high school. Working as a College OPTIONS advisor and in my own path to college, I have seen how beneficial it can be for a student to be aware of their options, to put in the hard work to keep all of those doors open, and to have a plan for their future. The process begins when a student registers for their classes as a fresh- man. Most universities in California require a specific pattern of courses, known as the A-G requirements, which must be completed before graduation (for more information on A-G courses visit http://www.ucop.edu/a-gGuide/ag/a- g/). As early as 9th grade, a student is able to keep their options open by selecting courses to fulfill these requirements. Addi- tionally, most colleges require that a stu- dent maintain a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 to be eligi- ble to apply, although GPA requirements vary greatly between schools. If a student is able to successful- ly complete all of their cours- es, they have again kept those doors of opportunity open. For many, the next step in preparing for college comes at the end of 11th grade, when it is recom- mended that students take the SAT or ACT. When their senior year arrives, it is time to review the options available and apply. At this point the student has a choice. Depending on the classes completed, their grades, GPA and test scores, the student can apply to a university, a community college or vocational school, enter the workforce or enlist in the military. Some students may think that it is unnecessary to com- plete the academic steps because they do not plan to enroll directly Lauren Tingley into a university. However, taking appropriately challenging classes in high school and performing well benefits every student and the communities in which they live. Even for entry level positions, there is an increasing demand for more developed English, math, communication and technological skills. No matter what path a student takes through high school, there are options available to them. A stu- dent may choose not to attend college even after fulfilling all the require- ments; the distinction is that the stu- dent made a fully informed choice, rather than falling into the only option available. Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned and many of us have head- ed down one path only to change our minds. Our goal is for students to be informed, be prepared, to know their options and have the freedom to choose when it comes to their plans for the future. Lauren Tingley is the College Options Advisor for Tehama County. She lives in Red Bluff, and started working in Tehama County Aug. 1. Cluster-headache sufferer offers advice DEAR DR. GOTT: I am 80 years old and have spent some 40 years in radiology as an X-ray technologist. Now that I’m retired, living in Pennsylvania, I write adult and chil- dren’s books. When I was 19 years old, I devel- oped cluster headaches that, at times, became unbear- able. I presented all the clas- sic symptoms. Our radiolo- gy office was located in a professional building, along with 40 other specialists. At the time, I became a guinea pig. I had everything from Novocain injections into my cervical nerve to histamine injections in my arm, all to no avail. I tried all the known remedies available at the time. My agony lasted until I was about 33 years old. My episodes were predictable. Every day, they lasted from one minute to several hours, for over a period of six months. Then, just as rapid- ly as they appeared, they vanished for six months. Then, as luck would have it, while reading a medical magazine, I spotted Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Linday Marie Baioni, 28, Red Bluff, was arrested Thursday afternoon by the TCSD on Gilmore Roads on supicion of assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm and inflicting traumatic injury in a domestic sit- uation. Bail was set at $35,000. Students •A pair of Red Bluff Union High School stu- dents were reportdly sturck by a car Thursday morning on campus. Neither were hurt. Dr. Peter Gott an ad from a phar- maceutical compa- ny advertising a brand new drug called Sansert, which I believe is now off the market. I asked the radiolo- gist I worked for if he would please contact the compa- ny and ask for sam- ples, which he did, knowing that everything else I had tried had failed. Already in the throes of a cycle, I took the pills according to directions without success. After a period of calm between cycles, I was prepared to make another attempt. Typi- cally, the cycle of pain would ensue and build in crescendo, until reaching its pinnacle, after which it would act in just the oppo- site manner until I was pain- free; usually all within a minute. Only this time, as soon as the pain started, I popped a pill and did so for one full week, after which I began to notice that the excruciating pain began to abort and then lessen, final- ly disappearing completely. Then I skipped a cycle, only to become disappointed when it once again returned. •A Metteer Elemen- tary School student was reportedly taken to the Emergency Room Thursday morning because of pain to the groin, where another student had kicked him the day before. Theft • Jennifer Perry reported the theft of fence posts, fencing sup- plies and tools Thursday morning on Moller Avenue. T-posts valued at $5 each and two boxes of miscellaneous tools valued at $50 were After a period of remis- sion, the pain returned. I immediately began taking the Sansert again with suc- cess. After that last bout, at age 33, until this day, I have not had another recurrence. DEAR READER: To my understanding, Sansert is no longer available in the United States but is still available in other countries. It carries some serious side effects, and this is likely why the United States chose to remove it from the mar- ket. Sansert is chemically similar to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a well- known, potent hallucino- genic that has been purport- ed to relieve the pain of cluster headaches and migraines. To my knowl- edge, no legitimate research has been done on this sub- ject. I discourage everyone from trying LSD as a treat- ment because it is an illegal substance that carries stiff legal penalties, not to men- tion the potentially serious side effects that may last for years in some people. I bring the similarities of these two substances up only because Sansert carries the side effects of mood changes, hallucinations, reported stolen. •A classroom was reported broken into Thursday morning at Metteer Elementary School. Animals •A boy, 6, was reportedly taken to St. Elizabeth community hospital after reports he had been bit on the eye- lid Thursday night by the family pet on Lavial Lane. •A snake was report- ed Thursday morning at the bathroom in the Tehama Post Office. delusions and more that are also associated with LSD. While I am happy to hear that you have success with this drug, there are safer options available. Unfortu- nately, Sansert has too many strikes against it for me to feel comfortable recom- mending it to others. I suggest anyone suffer- ing from cluster headaches be under the care of a neu- rologist familiar with the condition. Many of my readers with this problem have found relief using sup- plemental oxygen. Other options include the triptans (sumatriptan, zolmitriptan), local anesthetics (lidocaine, etc.), certain antihyperten- sives and others. Rarely, surgery may be recom- mended for those who don’t respond to aggressive treat- ment or cannot tolerate other treatments.
