Thousands of FFA members compete in various contests at this competition, and Pritchard's forestry team placed first and named the State Forestry Champions. The team will be heading to the National FFA contest in Louisville, Kentucky in October. It takes an enormous amount of dedication and hard work from the coach and kids to be state champions. The team is made up of, Carl Miller, Reed Pritchard, Michaela Black and Lucy Fouts. REDBLUFFHIGH FFAforestryteam named state champs Lostpetsandtheir guardians deserve to be reunited. Even though a person may be a respon- sible pet guardian, accidents do happen and pets es- cape yards. Current es- timates are that one out of every three pets becomes lost at least once in their life. In addition, according to a study conducted by the Journal of the Amer- ican Veterinary Medical Association, only about 22% of lost dogs and less than 2% of lost cats that entered shelters were re- united with their guard- ians. However, the re- turn-to-owner rate for microchipped dogs was over 52%, and for mi- crochipped cats it was over 38%. The odds of a pet being returned to its owner dramatically in- crease with microchip- ping. Even though there are other ways to identify your pet, such as name tags or licenses attached to collars, it is also pos- sible that the collar can slide off, be removed, or the tags become difficult to read. A microchip is one form of permanent identification. The ad- ditional benefit is that a microchip has an aver- age life expectancy of 25 years. Microchipping is a rel- atively simple procedure done by a veterinarian or at your local shelter. It is like giving an injection to your pet. In a matter of seconds this small com- puter chip, no larger than a grain of rice, is injected just under your pet's skin, between the shoul- der blades. There is no need to leave your pet at a clinic, you can be pres- ent during the injection, no anesthetic is required, and your pet will not ex- perience any more dis- tress than it would when getting its annual vacci- nations. After the injection, a test scan is done to en- sure that the chip is func- tioning correctly. A form is completed that records the microchip identifica- tion number, along with guardian contact infor- mation, pet name and de- scription, and veterinar- ian or shelter contact in- formation. This form is then sent to the registry of the particular brand of chip. Additionally, free of charge, you can register any brand or frequency of microchip, add pets, and update contact informa- tion online at Found An- imals Microchip Regis- try (https://microchipreg- istry.foundanimals.org/). Whenever a lost pet is lo- cated, Found Animals provides an alert sys- tem. Whatever regis- try is utilized, it is im- portant to remember to keep all contact informa- tion current. There have been numerous instances of strays with microchips being brought into a shel- ter and, unfortunately, the owner cannot be lo- cated because the infor- mation provided is out- dated. Every microchip con- tains a 9, 10 or 15 digit identification number and the phone number of its registry. A micro- chip does not store any personal information. In addition, a micro- chip cannot function as a GPS since it does not contain a power source. The chip will not do anything until a hand- held scanner is passed over it. At that time, the scanner reads the ra- dio frequency of the im- planted chip and dis- plays the ID and registry phone number. If your pet arrives at a shelter or vet clinic, they will immediately scan for a chip and contact the registry displayed to get your name and phone number to reunite your missing pet with you. If you have not micro- chipped your pet because of cost, please reconsider. The Tehama County An- imal Care Center at 1830 Walnut St., Red Bluff will microchip for $15. Ad- ditionally, in Tehama County, VIP Pet Care (1- 800-427-7973) will micro- chip for $15 and are at Tractor Supply, 249 Main St., Red Bluff every Sun- day 3:45-5 p.m. Vet clin- ics will also microchip and the fees will vary de- pending upon any addi- tional services provided. Microchipping your pet will help give you peace of mind. If your pet is lost, you know that your pet can be identified if found. It also proves, without question, that you are the pet's owner should the need arise. Above all else, it works. There are numerous sto- ries of pets being re- united with their guard- ians after months of be- ing missing. The one item all had in common was that they were micro- chipped.

The train will pass through Red Bluff, southbound, at 10 a.m. The southbound train will go down the west side of the Sacramento Valley. The northbound train, coming up the east side of the valley, will pass through Red Bluff at 7:25 p.m. It is the opinion of many rail- road men that the new over- land train will probably do away with two of the local trains.
