I was raised with my brother and sister in a single parent household and our mother worked as a maid at the beautiful old Tremont Hotel. Though we had little money we were one of the "richest" fami- lies in town because our mother provided us a home full of love, fair and consistent disci- pline, and the enforced expecta- tion that we would do the "right things." We had no television. We shared a "party line" on the phone. We all attended the same school and said "yes sir" when Vice-Principal Doug Sale told us to tuck in our shirts. We swam at the city pool and most of us had our first date at the grand old State Theatre where we marveled at those murals with naked ladies riding those white horses. I mostly looked at the horses. I have to admit that I missed having a father in my home, so without telling anyone, I would sometimes unofficial- ly "adopt" a father of a friend such as Adolf Calegari or a coach like Wilber Hinkle or Mel Silva or even grouchy old Ralph Hobbs. I guess it worked for me because I wandered off to college to return a few years later where I enjoyed a 30-year career as a Proba- tion Officer working with both adults and juveniles who made some poor life decisions along their way. At first my career in 1968 was a piece of cake. My job consisted large- Buy a horse that has been to college at the Feather River College 13th Annual Production Horse Sale on Saturday, May 21, at the Equine Facility in Quincy. The live auction kicks off at 1 p.m. following the sale preview at 9 a.m. Set to be auctioned are top Quarter Horse bloodlines and versatile riding horses trained by the top FRC Equine Studies students. Students work daily riding their sale horses in classes, traveling to horse shows, working on cattle ranches, riding horses on Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Mark Anthony Gomez, 31, of Redding was arrested Thursday at the Tehama County Jail. He was charged on warrants for fail- ures to appear on felony and misdemeanor charges, forg- ing a name for an access card and entering a non- commercial dwelling with- out consent. Bail was set at $60,000. • Edgar Ramiro Gaona, 18, of Long Beach was arrested Thursday on north- bound Interstate 5 south of Sourgrass Road. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance for sale, transportation of a con- trolled substance and using a compartment to conceal a controlled substance. Bail was set at $165,000. Animals • A 17-year-old girl called Thursday to report two dogs killed seven chick- ens at her residence in the 2200 block of Highway ly of counseling runaways and shoplifters. And then Mayberry, I mean Red Bluff, began to change. In the early 1970s drugs came to Red Bluff. It started with marijuana and over the past 40 years or so blossomed to the point where our once innocent beloved little town is rife with methamphet- amine and anything else that might provide a level of instant gratification. Though I have been retired for a decade, I think I can say with Bill Cornelius your Pre School, Regular School, Home School, Continuation School, Opportunity School and, unfortunate- ly, your Reform School. Things are so crazy today that it is necessary to create programs such as Head Start, First Five, High Five, WIC, Mentor- confidence that some 80 percent of all crimes committed in Tehama County are at least indirectly tied to the use of illegal substances. To date our answer to the epidemic drug problem has been largely to "lock em up" which may not be the best answer when you consider that it costs the taxpayer around $50,000 a year to incarcerate an inmate and over $100,000 to build a prison bed to house them in. Not to mention that they will be released back into the community with the same drug problem they took with them to prison. Today we live in a world that was beyond my comprehension when I graduated from high school in 1963. Never in my life could I imagine a 60- inch flat screen, a spell checking lap top, the iPod, your pod and my pod, the Xbox, cell phone, and every other gadget imaginable. Never in my life did I envision a school for each and every person with a pulse. You got ing and many more in order to ensure children growing up today have a chance to succeed in today’s world. Yes, today’s world is way too compli- cated, but I would say to every teacher, counselor, police officer, pro- bation officer, mentor, coach and especially to every parent, chances are strong that your child will do "just fine" if you adopt the strategy that worked so well for that maid who worked at the beautiful old Tremont Hotel in 1955. Fill their lives with love, fair and consistent discipline and the enforced expectation that they will do the "right things." It is important to realize however that the "right things" will vary from child to child. While we might hope that every child will attend college, find a wonderful job, a wonderful spouse, two and a half kids and a nice house with a white picket fence, reali- ty tells us that every child will choose their own route to adulthood and the best we can do is be there to bolster their self confidence, self-esteem, and provide appropriate tools as they strive to reach their full potential as produc- tive and contributing members of their community.
