Leave wildlife to the wild this spring The Department of Fish and Game recommends that people not handle any young wild animals they see in the outdoors. The improper handling of young wildlife is a problem in Califor- nia and across the nation, most com- monly in the spring, when many species are caring for their offspring. People frequently encounter young wild animals they think need assis- tance or have been orphaned. Howev- er, in most cases neither assumption is true and the animals should be left alone. In 2009, 537 fawns were turned into California rehabilitation facilities by well-meaning members of the pub- 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 • Daniel Hamilton Gra- ham, 20, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday on war- rants at the Tehama Coun- ty Jail.

Many of these fawns were healthy and should not have been disturbed. “Don't pick up a healthy fawn and become what wildlife experts refer to as a ‘fawn-napper,’” said Nicole Cari- on, DFG's statewide coordinator for wildlife rehabilitation and restricted species. “If you see a fawn by itself, leave the area and do not attract atten- tion to it. Its mother will not return if you are close by.” Once a fawn is removed from its mother, it can lose its ability to survive in the wild. The same danger applies to most animals, including bears, coy- otes, raccoons and most birds. Disease is another reason that wild officer about a distur- bance. A woman was heard yelling for help inside a residence. Luck was found with the woman. After investiga- tion, he was arrested on charges of threatening a crime with the intent to terrorize, inflicting corpo- ral injury on a spouse or cohabitant, false impris- onment with violence, possession of controlled substance paraphernalia and failure to pay a vehi- cle fine. Bail was set at $117,106. Theft • The tailgates of two different pickups at two different addresses were reported stolen early Thursday morning. The first, in the 100 block of Manzanita Avenue, was removed from a 2003 Chevrolet truck sometime between 5 p.m. Wednes- day and 6:30 a.m. Thurs- day. It had a Rhino coat- ing and is valued at $700.

Collisions • Three people were taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for minor injuries following a collision at 3:30 p.m. Thursday on South Avenue at Marguerite Avenue in Corning. Maria Spindola, 26, of Corning was driving east and Basil Privitt, 57, of Redding was driving west on South Avenue. Spin- dola failed to see Privitt approaching and tried to make a left turn onto Mar- guerite, directly into Privitt’s path. Privitt tried to avoid a collision by applying his brakes and veering to the right, however, he was unable to do so. All par- ties were wearing seat- belts and no alcohol or drugs were involved. •A Los Molinos woman was arrested on suspicion of DUI follow- ing a collision at 7:30 p.m. Thursday on C Street, near the intersec- tion with Cavalier Drive, in Tehama. Robyn Lynn Stone, 48, was driving on C Street, east of Cavalier, about 55 mph behind Edward McCul- lough, 41, of Red Bluff. McCullough began to slow for the 25 mph zone and due to Stone’s unsafe speed, she rearended McCullough’s vehicle. Stone was uninjured, but McCullough received minor injuries. Stone was arrested after it was deter- mined that she was under the influence of alcohol. Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston and a lieutenant from the department were contacted about the crash as one of the people injured in the collision was an off-duty deputy. • Officers responded to a report of a truck hitting the train trestle near Wil- low and Aloha streets Thursday. A tow truck was requested. The driver of the blue 2003 Dodge Ram fled the scene and could not be found.

No matter where I end up or how many places I go, Cottonwood, California will always be my home- town. Many people have told me that they can’t wait to leave Cot- tonwood but this has never been the case for me. My concern is getting back to Cottonwood. I have been traveling con- sistently since I was twelve years old, going to rodeo after rodeo. Rodeo has taken me to many different places, and I have experi- enced things in rodeo that no other sport can offer. I see all of my friends graduating from college, and I sometimes wish that I had a traditional life where school was the number one thing, but then I think of all the things that I would have missed out on if I didn’t rodeo. Though I have changed my mind a lot over the years about what I want, I have always had two goals that have stayed consistent, to make it to the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and to finish college. I started out at UNLV on a col- lege rodeo scholarship. I attended college for two years in Las Vegas and though I don’t regret my deci- sion, I decided that I was a Northern California girl at heart and moved back home. I started attending Chico State and rodeoing profes- sionally. In 2010 I accomplished the first of my two goals by making it to the NFR. This was a huge accomplishment for me because it is a goal that everyone in rodeo dreams of achiev- ing. To be able to say I did it was an amazing feeling. While I was busy having my dream come true, how- ever, my second goal got put on the back burner. accomplished in the meantime. Now I have come to realize that not everybody fits the mold. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to accomplish goals as long as you do accomplish them. Nellie Williams As graduation season approach- es, I can’t help but wish I was walk- ing next to all of my friends. I have been going to school off and on for five years and I am not anywhere near graduation. This can be a little disheartening but at the same time I think of all the things that I have Right now I am happy to be in Northern Califor- nia going to college dur- ing the week and traveling on the weekends. It allows me the best of both worlds because I get to go to many different places, but I always get to come back to my hometown. In the future I may change my mind about what I want, but one thing is for cer- tain. There is no place I would rather be on the third week- end in April than in Northern Cal- ifornia at the Red Bluff Round- Up. Nellie Williams is a graduate of West Valley High School and a business major at CSU, Chico. She and her horse, Blue Duck, are barrel racing in this year’s Red Bluff Round-Up.
