This program helps stu- dents track their academic progress in a way that makes it fun to improve their grades. It teach- es helpful study tips and encourages students to set SMART goals — Spe- cific, Manageable, Achievable, Real- istic and Timely. Learning to set goals is a skill the students will be able to utilize in any area of their lives and it starts with creating a can do attitude toward their homework. The BUG program helps to acknowledge students for work well done and keep them on the track of noticeable improvement. The SERRF program has the opportunity to work for an hour each day after school with all K-8 grade levels throughout the county to sup- port students’ homework and signifi- cantly impact the quality of that homework. SERRF liaisons work closely with the students to provide homework support and provide additional academic games and activities that reinforce the con- cepts they are learning during the regular school day. In a time when money is tight Expect More Linda Dodd everywhere it is extremely encourag- ing to have an outside community partner such as the Kiwanis Clubs to step up and make the financial com- mitment to help kids achieve academ- ically. Our community is very much aware that by helping students to improve their grades and promoting higher academic achievement they are investing in the future of our community. Time and time again we see young adults come back to this community after college or trade school to work and serve in Tehama County. We at SERRF see this as a valuable partnership and appreciate the efforts made by this organization. We plan to roll out the BUG program in Septem- ber and through the gener- ous donation from both Kiwanis groups we have enough materials for the next two years. It is exciting to see good things happening for kids when community organizations and schools come together to support and encourage academic growth and promote stu- dent success. Linda Dodd is a lead facilitator for the SERRF after school program through the Department of Education. She has been working with the SERRF program for 11 years. Victim and witness advocate to speak It is one thing to read about crimes in the newspaper or watch the arrest of a criminal on the news. It is quite another to come face to face with someone who intends to do you harm. Many Americans experience this first hand. Unfortunately, residents of Tehama County are not exempt. To add insult to injury it sometimes feels like the laws protect the perpetrator more than the victim. Understanding the frustration of many individuals, the Tehama County District Attorney started the Tehama County Victim/Wit- ness Program in 1995. Tehama County District Attorney Gregg Cohen comments in his brochure, “It seems as though the innocent citizen is victimized first by the crimi- nal and again by the criminal justice system.” Not all victims suffer physical wounds but they usually share emotional wounds that cannot be put in a cast or stitched together by a physician. This kind of wound has the potential to fester beneath the surface. “Our program provides emotional support, reassurance and referrals to community resource agencies,” said staff member Lisa Martinez. Through this program, victims of crime have an advo- 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 • Police officers assist- ed parole officers in an attempt to contact a sus- pect at the Classic Inn, 1142 Main St., which lead to the arrest of two peo- ple. One was arrested by parole agents. The other person was booked on warrants. No further information was avail- able. • Ruben Banuelos Jr., 25, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday after his girlfriend reported he had forcefully taken her keys from her hand, injur- ing her in the process, and stolen her turquoise 2000 Dodge Caravan. An alert was sent to all local law enforcement describing the vehicle. California Highway Patrol officers pulled over the suspect driving the vehicle near the Cabernet Apartments almost three hours later. Banuelos was arrested along with his passenger, Roberto Carlos Ibarra, 32, of Red Bluff. Banuelos was charged with vehicle theft, rob- bery, domestic battery and possession of a controlled narcotic. Bail was set at $85,000. Ibarra was arrested on warrants on charges of probation violation and driving on a suspended license. Bail was set at $26,000. The vehicle was returned to the owner. • Tracy Lynne Saba- dos, 18, of Corning was arrested Thursday in the 200 block of Fig Lane in Corning. She was charged with possession of a con- trolled narcotic. Bail was set at $15,000. • A suspect was arrest- ed on Rawson Road, just south of the city limits Thursday for driving under the influence. The suspect was pulled over while driving a 1988 Honda, which was towed. • An anonymous caller reported Thursday a sus- picious pickup with a cage that had been parked in the area of 22400 Bend Ferry Road. Sheriff’s deputies responded and found a collision. The driver was seen hiding underneath a blue 1999 Dodge truck. CHP officers were called and the man, Daniel Fred Walton, 51, of Washoe County, Nev., was arrest- ed on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Bail was set at $5,000. Rescue • Larry Hahn reported that his co-worker hadn’t returned from working at the tower on the north side of Turner Mountain. Two search and rescue workers responded at 2:10 p.m. to help Hahn look on a snowcat for the missing man, identified as Matt Salle. Air support was requested but Salle was found just before any aircraft was available. Salle, found on a snow- mobile, was safe and uninjured. Vandalism • An apartment door cate that provides court escorts, status of charges against their aggressors, and other mandated services. Upon sen- tencing, survivors of crimes receive support in preparing Victim Impact Statements, and have an advocate for victim restitution. The California Victims Compensation Claims Board provides additional assistance for Victims. Completing the application forms can be stressful, but with an advocate assisting with the process it can become less complicated. Occasionally, situations may require victims of crimes to find shelter, transportation, and medical assistance. These and other victim rights issues will be addressed at the next Elder Services Coordinating Council on May 25. The public is invited to hear the presentation by Lisa Martinez from Tehama County Victim/Witness program. She will be speaking at 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, at the Elder Services Coordinating Council. Meetings are held at the Department of Education, 1135 Lincoln St. in Red Bluff.

Violence • Red Bluff firefighters responded to a report of a fire underneath the river bridge on Antelope Boulevard just after 5 p.m. Thursday.

A man in a blue tank top had another man on the ground on the southwest bank of the river. Officers contacted the injured person at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital later. No further information was avail- able. • California Highway Patrol enlisted help from sheriff’s deputies to find a suspect on a black motor- cycle who had brandished a knife after a road rage incident on Highway 99E.

Officers were unable to locate the sus- pect. Fires • A 1989 Ford Mus- tang burst into flames at about 11 a.m. Thursday in front of the Post Office on Walnut Street. The engine was com- pletely involved in flames when firefighters arrived after at least three 911 calls about it. The fire was out and the scene cleared about 40 minutes later. The fire started in the middle dri- ver’s side of the engine, but the direct cause of the fire was undeter- mined because of the extent of the damage. The loss was estimated at $2,000. • The cause of a vehi- cle fire reported at 7:54 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of Crosslands Country Store, 8215 Highway 99E, in the Los Molinos area was electri- cal.
