Our names: Francis (18) and Patricia (19) Ocam- po Ortiz. Our family of six has lived in California for 11 years now. Growing up we were taught that obtaining an education was imperative for our future and the key to our success. Imagine our surprise when we came to find that this is no lie. The parenting style of Abelina Ortiz and Alejandro Ocampo can be described in one word — unconven- tional. They are two people that, while they stick to their convictions and their traditional background, do allow for their children to venture out and create their own individual paths. All through high school our par- ents pushed us to do everything to the best of our ability and to pursue any opportunity that came our way. Our parents came from a very mod- est background where labor was a priority and education a privilege that their parents’ could not afford. Though our parents have supported us in all of our endeavors, once it came to the college process, life became difficult at the Ocampo res- idence. Financial aid became our biggest obstacle; our parents could simply not afford our future college expenses. While we are intelligent, there are things that we were simply not aware of and found we needed someone that had done it already who could show us the ropes. It was then, in 2009, when our family met Melissa Mendonca, head of the Men- toring Program at the Depart- ment of Educa- tion. Melissa took an interest in our future and helped us reach our greatest goal yet, college. She taught us how to take advantage of the resources avail- able to us, here in Tehama County, by networking and con- tacting the right people. It was through sev- eral contacts that we were finally led to the College of Saint Mary of Omaha Nebraska, where we are now both students. College of Saint Mary is a private all women’s college where one of us, Patricia, has successfully completed one year and where the other, Fran- cis, will soon attend this fall. Our success can be defined as the result of what the campaign Expect More Tehama is, and can be to all stu- dents. We are proud to serve as an example of what Expect More Tehama symbolizes. We are devoted students who are not just self-moti- vated but motivated by others as well. Now that the community has begun promoting the Expect More Tehama movement, we can honestly say that through promotion of fur- ther education after high school to all students, we will not only benefit the future of our genera- tion but our community as well. We have experi- enced first hand all that Expect More Tehama stands for, and by having the support from those around us we learned to aim higher for a prosper- ous future. Francis & Patricia Ocampo- Ortiz One single person cannot succeed without help, and by embracing the Expect More way of life we can all make a difference by coming together in an effort to better the lives of future generations though edu- cation. Now college bound, we continue on our path to education and promoting the Expect More motto. We thank our parents, our most esteemed mentor Melissa Mendonca, Superintendent Charles Ward, the Los Molinos High faculty and staff, the Sisters of Mercy, the Kiwanis Club of Central Tehama, and the Expect More Tehama campaign community. We are grateful to you all for fully cap- turing the essence of this move- ment, some without even knowing it, and applying it by taking a chance on us. Patricia and Frances Ocampo Ortiz are graduates of Los Molinos High School. Snow delays road opening at Lassen Park Park Superintendent Darlene M. Koontz announced Fri- day that the main road through Lassen Volcanic National Park will not be open for through traffic for at least another week. Park road crews have cleared snow past the Lassen Peak parking area and are proceeding downhill towards Kings Creek Meadows. The park road is open twelve miles to the Summit Lake Area from the Manzanita Lake Entrance and seven miles to the Bumpass Hell Trailhead parking area from the South- west Entrance. Parking at these closures is somewhat limited and RVs and trailers should not go beyond the Devastated Area on the north side as turnaround space is limited. The first 1.3 miles of the popular Lassen Peak Trail is open to the ‘Grandview’ location and only over snow trav- el on skis and snowshoes to the summit. The over snow travel will be challenging for those wishing to reach the 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.
