Expect More Berrendos, a movement stemming from Expect More Tehama, has been focused on preparing Berrendos 8th-graders for the challenges of High School, primar- ily in the area of college readiness. The past two years, 8th grade students from Berrendos have participated in a leadership conference at the beginning of the school year, goal setting for their future, college campus visits, and a year long focus on skills needed to prepare them for a higher level of edu- cation. The Gear-Up grant would allow Berrendos to expand its Expect More program into the 6th and 7th grades. The goal of the program is to make aware the requirements, and efforts that are needed from middle grade stu- dents prior to entering High School. With the recent classes offered by the High School through PIQE (Parent Institute for Quality Education), and the "No Excuses University" move- ment coming to Tehama County, as well as the continued efforts of Expect More Tehama, students and parents in Todd Brose Tehama County are receiving the resources necessary to plan for the future. Why are these movements so important? Recently, the governor announced that mid-year cuts to agencies, includ- ing public education, would be enact- ed due to the lack of anticipated rev- enue to the state. Furthermore, he pre- pared us for more cuts in the 2012- 2013 budget. The state has been in a budget cri- sis for the past several years, and is staring at a deficit of $13 billion in June 2013. If we are to get out of this mess, we need to have generation after generation of students reading by the 3rd grade; setting goals early about the The Family Service Agency welcomed new board members at its recent meeting. Those joining the board are Susan McFadyen, Anne Houghtby and Doreen Wysocki. McFadyen has previously served on the board and was president during the time Family Services considered clos- ing three years ago. Wysocki and Houghtby are new board members. Board President Mary Treat presided over her last meet- ing and will be going off the board. She had served the maximum time allowed by the bylaws. There are 11 members of the Family Service board; they are volunteers and serve staggered three year terms. Family Services Agency was founded 46 years ago by leaders from the Red Bluff Rotary Club; the Hope Chest thrift store was founded the year before to provide financial 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 • Deric James Boughton, 34, and Teresa Ann Zuno, 29, both of Anderson, were arrested Thursday by U.S. Forest Service agents at Lake Red Bluff. Boughton was charged with vehicle theft.

Both were charged with possession or purchase of narcotics for sale and transportation of narcotics. Ruiz was also charged with child endangerment. Bail was set at $1 million for Ramirez-Segura and at $1,050,000 for Ruiz. • Jason John Groustra, 21, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday in the 20600 block of Ohm Road.

It is an effort that involves the entire K- 12 education system. The research clearly shows that individuals earning a higher level degree earn much more in their career. Not only do college graduates have a higher earning potential, they learn about long-term planning, responsibil- ity and the importance of making sound, logical decisions. All of these attributes are critical in turning our economy around. Ante- lope School District is hopeful in receiving the Gear-Up grant for Berrendos Middle School so it can expand its expectations, and we look forward to working with the educa- tional community in preparing our stu- dents for a higher level of education. Todd Brose is the superintendent and principal of Antelope Elementary School District. Family Service Agency board changes support for the nonprofit agency. Family Services provides low cost counseling for those in need; in 2011 it provided more than 1,600 client hours of service to the community. Next year will be a transitional year for Family Services because the Hope Chest governing board has decided to close down the thrift store. Hope Chest provided around $30,000 in funding this year in support of the agency; it has also provided the facility the agency uses rent free. Rev- enues have shrunk at the Hope Chest with the economy, and it has been unable to provide the higher level of sup- port given just a few years ago. The new board will have a challenge finding replacement sources of funding. New officers on the board include: Joe Harrop, Presi- dent; Mildred Johnstone, Vice President; Chris Growney, Treasurer; and Trish Jantzen, Secretary. ers, valued at $600, were taken from a 1998 Lin- coln Navigator in the 1400 block of Orange Street. Finally, a stereo, a $200 Pyle 7-inch DVD/mp3 player, was snatched from a 2004 Kia in the 200 block of Carol Avenue. • A handgun was reported stolen Thursday from a bedroom of a resi- dence in the 700 block of Givens Road. Burglary • Sierra Sound employ- ees reported Thursday that someone had tried to break in to the business during the night. No fur- ther information was available. • A 53-year-old woman reported Thursday that three men had tried to break into her home in the 17300 block of Gray Road in Cottonwood. She went to the door after hearing a noise and saw three men standing near the door, one of them holding a slim metal tool. The suspects fled when she opened the door. Violence • Deputies responded Thursday afternoon to a domestic dispute in the 13700 block of Menden- hall Road. No charges were filed. Collisions • A 57-year-old Okla- homa man received minor injuries in a collision with a 2002 Hyundai accent at 6:40 a.m. Thursday on South Avenue, east of Kirkwood Road. Arthur Price of Oklahoma City, Okla. said he would seek his own aid. Price was walking west on the north shoulder of South Avenue when Tan- ner Smith, 18, of Corning, driving west on South Avenue, began approach- ing Price from the rear at a stated speed of 50-55 mph. As Smith began to pass Price he allowed his vehi- cle to drift right and this mirror hit Price's arm. Smith continued dri- ving to work and Price walked to McDonalds in Corning where he called 911. Smith returned to the area, attempting to locate Price and did so by fol- lowing emergency response vehicles to McDonalds. •A big rig collided with a horse at 7:22 p.m. Thursday on Highway 99W, south of Reno Avenue, resulting in the death of the horse. Sarvjeet Singh, 34, of Turlock, who was unin- jured, was driving north on Highway 99W when a large black horse ran onto the road from the right shoulder, directly into his path. Singh was unable to avoid a collision due to on-coming traffic. The horse hit the front bumper of Singh's big rig and was thrown through the air, landing on west side shoulder where it hit a mailbox.
