The stu- dents will attend for 180 days and over the course of a year, will spend between 20 percent to 30 percent of their waking time in class. What happens during the rest of that time? Our children’s educations are not confined to just six hours a day, Monday through Friday. Education happens on Saturday at a soccer game, and Monday night at church youth group. According to Wikipedia, education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. Thankfully, every community is blessed with adults who use their talents to involve kids outside the traditional school schedule. From quality after school programs like SERRF and Assets, to sports pro- grams, music and dance, youth groups, 4-H, teen employment and volunteer opportunities, Tehama County provides numerous options for this "contin- uing education". My own chil- dren are at the age when we often chase them from activity to activity. There is certainly need for balance. How- ever, the life skills they gain are powerful. I watch my son on the baseball field learning the expecta- tions of coaches who model fair- ness and professionalism and share their expertise with warmth and humor. The team learns about the game, but also how to conduct themselves as players and team members. They learn how to moti- vate each other and how to move on from mistakes. They learn personal discipline and control. Kathy Garcia employees with skills like leader- ship, ethics, accountability, adapt- ability, personal respon- sibility, people skills, problem solving and crit- ical thinking, entrepre- neurship, social respon- sibility, time manage- ment, and discipline – not necessarily the same list that educators are expected to teach. While many teachers are amaz- ing at incorporating many of these life skills in their teaching plans, the thousands of commu- nity "after school teach- ers", who extend the school day, are critical partners in education. Expect More Tehama hopes to engage more adults to get involved in providing youth with relevant activities, experiences, conversa- tions and jobs that will continue to develop their life skills, goals and after school educations.

Lassen park to participate in pikas project Lassen Volcanic Nation- al Park will participate in a multiple park project designed to survey rocky areas for pika, use DNA to quantify gene flow between areas where pika are pre- sent, and conduct a quanti- tative vulnerability assess- ment that explicitly predicts pika response to climate change. The American Pika is a small member of the Lag- amorph (rabbit) family that lives in the upper elevation rocky slopes of Lassen Vol- canic National Park. Pikas cannot regulate their body temperature due to their thick fur coats and have a lethal limit of around 80 degrees. Therefore they seek the coolness that is found in the crevices of rocky slopes. They do not hibernate and store forbes and grasses in “haypiles” to feed on throughout the win- ter. Due to its low heat toler- ance, this species is suscep- tible to the effects of global climate change. Lassen Volcanic and 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 • Michael Robert Jones, 28, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday at the Tehama County Sher- iff’s Department. He was booked into jail on the charges of burglary and non-sufficient funds: check. No bail was set. Break-ins • Several break-ins were reported Thursday in the area of Spyglass Drive with two in the 700 block and two in the 600 block and one person reported finding a knife in the person’s front yard in the 600 block. A back- pack and two books val- ued at $160 were taken from one vehicle and a stereo and woofer speak- ers from another in the 700 block. A CD face- plate was taken from one vehicle and a radio from another in the 600 block. All incidents except for the back pack are listed in Red Bluff Police logs as supplemental information to a previous case num- ber. That case number ref- erences an incident at 3:46 a.m. Thursday in the 35th Annual Photo Courtesy of Nick Roll Lassen Volcanic National Park will be participating in the Pikas in Peril Project that surveys the rocky areas for Pikas like the one pictured here. Crater Lake National Parks were used to test a protocol for surveying pika in the summer. Survey techniques included searching for “haypiles” and scat as well as listening for pika alarm calls and looking for the animals scurrying around rocky areas. DNA will be used to determine estimates of dis- persal rates among popula- 600 block of Spyglass when two people were stabbed. Collision •John Tolle, Jr., 69, of Corning was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with minor injuries following a hit and run collision at 12:06 p.m. Thursday on High- way 99W at the intersec- tion with Liberal Avenue. Tolle was driving behind a 1996 Saturn going north on 99W approaching the intersection when the dri- ver slowed and stopped at the intersection to wait for southbound traffic to clear before making a left turn. Tolle did not notice the Saturn had stopped until it was too late. He braked, but was unable to stop before rear-ending the Saturn. After the colli- sion, which caused major damage to both vehicles, the driver and passenger of the Saturn fled on foot, leaving the vehicle behind. Crash • Michael Boitano, 60, of Jackson was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with moderate injuries following a crash tions within the park. DNA is derived from collecting pika feces and extracting mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, used to understand how distance and interven- ing habitat affect gene flow and successful dispersal, and develop an empirically- based method to assess iso- lation of existing pika popu- lations on NPS lands. A vulnerability assess- at 11:45 p.m. Thursday on northbound Interstate 5, south of McClure Creek. Boitano was going north in the fast lane at an unknown speed near McClure Creek when he allowed his vehicle to leave the west side of road where it hit a metal guard rail leading up to the bridge at McClure Creek. The out of control vehicle continued across the roadway and into a con- crete bridge railing. It continued out of control, coming to rest north of McClure Creek and east of the roadway on the shoulder. ment of pika will be com- pleted based on information gained through Objectives 1 and 2, supplemented by the literature and citizen-scien- tist data. Researchers will use the data in conjunction with downscaled global cli- mate change models to assess the vulnerability of pika populations to a range of future climate scenarios. Data analysis from the project will continue fall and winter 2010. New sur- vey sites will be monitored in 2011, with a final research project report due in 2012. Further details and results from the effort will be available on the Pikas in Peril websites: http://sci- ence.nature.nps.gov. For more information on the Pikas in Peril Project at Lassen Volcanic National Park contact Wildlife Biolo- gist Mike Magnuson at 595- 4444 ext. 5174.

Found •A woman reported Thursday finding a bicy- cle in front of her resi- dence in the 1000 block of Aloha. The bicycle was collected by Red Bluff Police for safekeeping until the owner can be found. Theft • Scott Smith reported Thursday the theft of a tractor from the yard next to a shop in the 6300 block of Highway 99E sometime during the pre- vious weekend. He requested extra patrol of the area. GreenWaste of Tehama A Waste Connections Company WASTE CONNECTIONS INC.
