One not so wonderful was the fact that a light colored van driven by an older man had been seen located near sever- al Red Bluff Schools. Keep your eyes open everyone, our children are pre- cious and we must be on the look out for unusual action toward the possibil- ity of harm to children. Report such incidents, don't hesitate! Having been particularly happy to have attended school and also happily taught in several levels of school so I remain on the lookout for our chil- dren's safety. That means children of all ages. I was delighted to have read about the Dairyville Community Club awards scholarships. I was pleased to see so many hard working young peo- ple aiming toward their education and being awarded the learning opportuni- ties. I am happy to know that Kathy Brandt, president of the Dairyville Community Club has had the opportu- nity to award scholarships to these stu- dents. I have had the privilege of teach- ing several of these children in preschool, those being Kathy Brandt, Jayne Brandt, and Cory Carpenter. Also, Chevon Hacker is the daughter of my cousin John and his wife Tama- ra Hacker. All those honored with scholarships are aiming for success in their future endeavors. Congratula- tions to all. Coming up this week is the cele- bration of the class of 1951 students of Red Bluff High School. Yes there are still a few dozen of them around Tehama County and beyond. My hus- band Hurley is one of them so I am invited to keep up with the annual cel- ebration. Former students have planned to meet together on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to share both good times of the past and the good times of today. Yesterday, I was perus- 68 years ing the pages of a previous 1951 cele- bration book and noted some memory comments to share. This class is cele- brating their 60th year of honoring their Red Bluff High School learning experiences while being students there. Many teachers played a role in the formative years of the group, Mrs. Brooks, Mr. Mehlhaff, Mr. Milll- hone, Mr. Dempsey, Gloria Kast, Mrs. Edgar, Miss Norvell and who could for- get the wonderful Carl Coleman the Music Man? Many, many more teachers were list- ed, honored and recognized for their influence on the 1951 students. I always look forward to this occasion even though I graduated a few years later. Somehow or another I managed to defy the words of Mrs. Ruth Gordon (1955) school counselor and art teacher when she told me that since I married early I would not be able to go to college. At the time she spoke I did- n't argue with her as I had not really thought much about going to college, more about being a house wife and mother. I did accomplish that and decided to start college with my broth- er Gary. From that time on I kept squeezing in classes that had to do with teaching. It took a while; I only wish that Mrs. Gordon had been able to witness my accomplishments. She had not only been my Consultant at Red Bluff Union High School, she was my Sunday School Teacher. She did however give me a beautiful group of plates as a wedding gift. Lest one thinks that I will not men- tion my era with preschoolers, I must share a few comments of James Heck- man, a Nobel-Prize-winning econo- mist. Heckman talks of the soft skills that enable preschool aged children. These soft skills involve things like being able to pay attention and focus, being curious and open to new experiences, and being able to control your temper and not get frustrated. Actu- ally, all these soft skills are very important in getting a job. The fact is that Heckman Carolyn Barber discovered that you don't get them in high school, or in middle school, or even in ele- mentary school You get them in preschool! Heckman makes preschool one of the most effective job-training programs out there today. In checking this out I have learned that the preschool children are learning valuable skills: how to resolve con- flicts, how to share, how to negotiate, how to talk things out. These are skills that they need to make it through a day of preschool now. And they are skills they will need to make it through a day of work when they're 30. If they learn these skills now, they will have them for the rest of their lives. Research shows that if they don't learn them now, it becomes harder and harder as they get older. By the time they're in a job training program in their twenties, its often too late. Wow. I am impressed with Heck- man' study, having been a long time preschool teacher, I believe he is right on track. It is never too young to learn acceptable behavior. Looking forward to gathering with the RBUHS Class of 1951. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.

Collins appealed on the ground that the passage of the Volstead act had made the Wylie law inoperative, as it had been superceded by the federal act. — Oct. 15, 1921 Courtesy photo John and Lucille Robison of Red Bluff celebrated their 68th Wedding Anniversary on October 12, 2011.They were married October 12, 1943 in San Diego.

For young drivers between the ages of 15-20 years old, traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for teens in America Teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers. "Inexperience combined with speed, a lack of seat belt compliance, distrac- tions, alcohol or any other risk-taking behavior can have deadly results behind the wheel," said California Highway Patrol Commis- sioner Joe Farrow. "Unlike a video game, you aren't given multiple lives and there isn't a reset button; our goal is to aim Califor- nia's youth with enough knowledge to make smart driving decisions." The CHP is hoping National Teen Driver Safe- ty week (Oct. 16-22, 2011) will serve as an important reminder for teens and their parents or guardians to get involved with any number of the traffic safety pro- grams the department offers which are geared toward teen drivers, includ- ing: • Start Smart, a driver safety education class tar- geting new and future licensed teenage drivers between the age of 15-19 and their parents/guardians. • Impact Teen Drivers, a non-profit, public aware- ness and education pro- gram designed to educate teens about the dangers of distracted driving. • Every 15 Minutes, a program focused on high school juniors and seniors, which challenges them to think about drinking, dri- ving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions and the impact their decisions have on family, friends, and many others. National Teen Driver Safety week was estab- lished by the U.S. Congress in 2007. It is observed annually the third week of each October to raise national awareness to teen driver safety issues and encourage safe teen driver and passenger behavior.
