We had 9 people competing, 4 com- peting for their first time. Everyone did great. We took 2 first place slots — Jessica Richards and Dylan Gorbet won their weight divisions. Jes- sica competed against a female this time and took her swiftly by choke in both contests against her. Dylan took both his oppo- nents with head and arm chokes. Thomas Ballard placed second with a guillotine choke. Christopher Didio took second, beating two skilled opponents. Alex Fazleev and Jesse Foss both placed second — both competed against very sea- soned grapplers. love to compete but can't afford the $35 entrance fee, so anyone wanting to sponsor a kid, please let me know. On Nov. 19, Renee Avery Vilche Fitness Buff Timmons and I had our first Just Move It (JMI) event. JMI is a nation- wide effort to encourage increased physical activ- ity for Native Ameri- cans. The event was a huge success, despite the cold weather. We had more than 40 people come out to run or walk. Everyone got a free JMI bracelet, a pass for a free class at Body Projex and a reminder for the next event. A huge thank you to Rolling Hills Casino and the Daily News for sponsoring the event and all their help in promoting it. We plan on having these every month from different locations. The next will be Dec. 17 from Body Projex at 11:30 a.m. Please come and join us for a fun, free event that is open to everyone — all cultures, all ages. Avery Vilche has her B.A. in physical education and a certificate in exercise physiology. She has been a fitness instructor in Red Bluff for more than 17 years. Her background is in boxing, kick boxing and wrestling. She can be reached at vilcheavery@yahoo.com. The kids that competed had to compete in gis (ju-jitsu uniforms). Since none of them had gis, Team Quest was kind enough to loan them 3 of theirs. The kids, who had all trained hard, were not used to rolling in gis. They learned pretty quickly, though, and all held their own. Great work, Alex Lankins, Mateo Gonzalez and Joseph Liman. It was a great tournament that charged up all of our grapplers. I'd like to thank a few sponsors who paid the entrance fees for some of the kids; John Beck (owner of The Hay Yard), Thomas and Linsie Bal- lard and John Vilche. There is another tournament coming up on Dec. 12, Grappling X in Sacramento. Lots of kids would Backpacks, supplies for homeless students More than 700 back- packs and school supplies arrived on 10 pallets on their way to the hands of homeless students in Tehama County schools. Tehama Co. Dept. of Education’s Homeless Youth Program, Project Connect, received the backpacks and supplies, including folders, pencils, calculators, rulers and note- books as well as a healthy snack pack containing juice, jerky, crackers and dried fruit. The final treat for the children was a book of their very own. This donation from Feed the Children (feedthechildren.org) is currently being dispersed through the various schools to children fitting the description of homeless according to the McKin- ney-Vento Act. "Basically, the criteria for homelessness accord- ing to McKinney-Vento is any child without a perma- nent safe dwelling, lacking in a fixed, regular and ade- quate nighttime residence," said Project Connect coor- dinator Denise Rochlitz.

Theft An unknown subject broke into the back bed- room of a home around 5:28 p.m., Thursday on plies, food and books. Fif- teen Key Club members assisted in the endeavor. "We couldn’t have done it without the Key Club," said Project Connect co- coordinator Crystal Null. Currently in Tehama County there are 730 stu- dents identified as living in homeless situations.
