In a perfect world, both of these paths result in a workforce ready to meet the expectations of an employer and the industry in which they enter. Unfortu- nately U.S. students stepping into the workforce after high school, community college, technical school or four-year university have been habitually unprepared. Over the years this trend has become apparent to employers, students, parents and the community as a whole. So, how do we approach this great divide? One tactic, although limited in scope, is to discover exactly what employers want and collectively ensure that our students are given the tools to meet the workplace demand. Employer wish lists vary from industry to industry but surprisingly carry similar themes. When 431 U.S. human resources officials were asked what skills they would like to see in their new hires, five recurring non-negotiables were discovered.* 1. Critical thinking and creativi- ty: In order to succeed in the work- place employees need to navigate a surplus of information. They then need the ability to integrate the information into their day-to-day Barestage Theatre is planning a haunted house with the following scener- io. “Each day an estimat- ed 200 more Tehama County residents fall vic- tim to the mysterious H5N6 virus, the seeming- ly incurable disease that causes its victims to crave the consumption of human flesh. While the nation's scientists strug- gle to find a solution to the contagion, city and county authorities will open a shelter in Red Bluff on Oct. 24 for any who may have been infected.” That's the premise behind "Nightmare!" The decisions. Employers are looking for individuals able to judge the credibility of sources, become well informed, ask appropriate clarifying questions, integrate creativity into problem solv- ing and foster innovation in the business world. 2. The basics: Reading, writing and arithmetic. Business leaders report that high school and college gradu- ates need to master basic academic skills. These basics are fundamental to success on the job. Eighty- one percent of survey par- ticipants say their high school graduate hires could use an upgrade in spelling, grammar, sen- tence structure and the ability to convey ideas in both written and verbal form. 3. Health: An emerging priority for many employers is work/life balance. Seventy-six percent of the participants surveyed addressed “health and wellness, such as nutri- tion, exercise, stress reduction and work-life effectiveness” as critical factors in work-site success. 4. Keep it professional: Three- quarters of survey participants ref- erenced professionalism, work ethic, personal accountability, punctuality, working productively with others and time and workload management as key priorities. 5. Think globally: Business lead- BareStage Theatre's Hal- loween event, billed as a haunted house of epidem- ic proportions, planned for Oct. 24-31. The theater is seeking volunteers to help set up and perform in the pro- ject. A general organiza- tional meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17, at Round Table Pizza. Anyone interested should attend or call 727- 8080. Residents should remember the theater's last haunted house, held in the basement of Main Street's Heartfelt Design Galleries in 2008, which was an enormous success. But event organizers say Tehama County Clerk/Recorder Bev- erly Ross announces that the Elections Department will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23, to allow vot- ers the chance to turn in their Vote-By- Mail ballots early. The goal is to encourage Tehama Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Armando Acosta Cruz, 44, of Sylmar was arrested Thursday near Kelly Road. He was booked into Tehama County Jail on the felony charges of possession of marijuana or hashish for sale and giving transport to marijuana over 28.5 grams.

Gilbert Dilouie, 68, was driving north on Jackson Carrie Clark ers have more opportunity than ever to become globally competitive. Many markets are seeing an increased demand for individuals to use “lan- guages as a tool for understanding other nations, markets and cul- tures.” A job seeker’s ability to communicate with foreign cultures will provide a much needed competitive edge in the years to come. At first glance this wish list looked like a great to-do list for edu- cators, or students, or parents, or basically anybody but me. But further glancing allowed me to see my role. How can I become a better employee? How can I incorporate creativity into the work I do? Whom can I influence? I’ve been told that we are the mas- ters of our destiny. If not me, then who? *Survey of 431 human resource officials conducted by The Confer- ence Board, Corporate Voices for Working Families, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the Society for Human Resource Man- agement. Its objective was to exam- ine employers’ views on the readi- ness of new entrants to the U.S. workforce. Carrie Clark is the manager of training and development for the Job Training Center. Volunteers sought for haunted house this year's happening will be even bigger and better — and scarier — than before. “This is going to be a huge event, and we're looking to work with as many people as we possi- bly can,” said BareStage board member Andy Dena. People of all ages are welcome to get involved. “The haunted house two years ago was really something special,” Dena said. “But this one is brimming with awe- some new tricks and treats that no one will be expecting. It will be very, very scary. You'll come for the fun, but you'll Elections Dept to be open for mail ballots County residents to participate in the upcoming Consolidated General Elec- tion.

Dilouie stopped for the stop sign at the intersection of Oak Street and, once it was his turn, he proceeded through the intersection and was hit by a vehicle driven by Melissa Raunlinde, 33. Dilouie complained of pain to his shoulder, but declined medical atten- tion. Both the motorcycle and the vehicle received minor damage. Counterfeit • A Circle 7 Days employee reported to have received a counter- feit $20 bill Thursday. Crash • Red Bluff Police responded to a single vehicle into a power pole at 11:06 a.m. Thursday in the area of Reeds Avenue, near South Jackson Street.
