VeteranIDCardPro- gram:http://ads.digi- talfirstmedia.com/mngi/ splashstatic/17551/Vet- eran_ID_Card_Program. pdf.s RESOURCES Ve te ra ns s er vi ce s, advocacy groups By Kelly Osborne The Department of Veter- ans Affairs and the Califor- nia Department of Veterans Affairs, CalVet, offer a wide range of benefits to our vet- erans and their families. You may be eligible for benefits if you are a veteran, veteran's dependent, surviv- ing spouse or child or par- ent of a deceased veteran. Benefits come in many forms and are typically based on service-connected injuries and illnesses, or may be income based. Com- pensation is paid for ser- vice-connected injuries and illnesses, whereas pension is based on income. There is no time limit to apply for compensation and pension benefits. VA health care is avail- able to veterans based on their service-connected injuries and illnesses, and also is available based on income. VA also provides free health care for veter- ans who served in a the- ater of combat operations after Nov. 11, 1998, for any illness possibly related to their service in that the- ater. Eligibility for free health care is for five years from the date of discharge from active duty. Additional federal bene- fits such as vocational reha- bilitation and employment, education and training, home loans, life insurance, dependents and survivors dependency and indemnity compensation and burial benefits are also available. State benefits such as the college fee waiver program, CalVet home loan program, state veterans homes, fish- ing and hunting licenses and state parks and recre- ation passes are available. The key to receiving any of these benefits is you must apply for them. While you can apply on your own, your local county Veterans Ser- vice Office is there to assist you and your family. The county Veterans Service Of- fice is trained and accred- ited with the VA and CalVet. To find out if you are eli- gible for any of these bene- fits, call the Tehama County Veterans Service Office at 529-3664. Office appoint- ment hours are Monday through Thursday, 9-11 a.m., closed 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for lunch, and 1-3 p.m. The VSO office is by ap- pointment only. Beverly Holden is help- ing the VSO office through the month of June and while she is here, 10 a.m. to noon and 1-3 p.m. Monday through Thursday we can do walk-ins to make an ap- pointment, income verifica- tion, college fee waivers for disabled veteran dependent education and ID cards once the ID card is online. We are looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again on your return visit. KellyOsborne,retired U.S. Coast Guard, is the Veterans Service Officer for Tehama County.

This year's production was "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-glass" based on the books by Lewis Car- roll, and the play was per- formed at the Westside Grange, on Walnut Street. Twenty-six students played about 40 charac- ters, with the costumes de- signed and made by Jessy Tenney and Alissa East- man. The school also puts on an annual summer the- ater program for young people, the Spartan Shake- speare Society. This year, there will be two sessions. The first will be a be- ginning-level session, for ages 7-14, which will run June 15-19, and the second will be an intermediate- level session, for ages 12- 18, which will run June 22- 26. Both sessions will run 6-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a performance of short scenes on the final evening. The Spartan Shake- speare Society will help youngsters to explore the- ater in general and Shake- speare's works in partic- ular. Attendees will get to try their hands at such things as stage combat, im- provisation games, sonnet writing, voice exercises, renaissance dance, Shake- spearean insults and tech- nical theater design. The Spartan Shake- speare Society will have an informational booth at the upcoming Old Time Country Fair, which will be a free event at Ridge- way Park 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 13. More information can also be obtained by con- tacting the school at whit- tenbergcountryschool@ gmail.com or through face- book.com/whittenberg- countryschool. Play in May and theater program COURTESY PHOTO Whittenberg Country School students wear costumes from their recent production of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-glass." WHITTENBERG SCHOOL The U.S. Forest Service and federal agency part- ners will be hosting a pub- lic forum Tuesday to share key findings of the North- west Forest Plan 20-year monitoring reports. The draft reports and two-page summaries pro- vide an analysis of moni- toring data gathered un- der the plan since 1994, with a focus on the last five years, and will be posted online at http://www.reo. gov Monday afternoon. The reports, which have undergone technical and peer review, are in produc- tion and will be published in the coming months. The day-long public fo- rum, to be held in Van- couver, Washington, will include a series of pre- sentations on the reports' key findings, followed by a panel session of report authors for questions and answers. To allow for remote par- ticipation, the forum will be broadcast live via webi- nar. Learn more at http:// www.reo.gov/save-the- date. The forum is sched- uled to run 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you have any ques- tions about the event, call (503) 808-2851. FOREST PLAN Public forum to be broadcast online Tuesday SACRAMENTO The Cal- ifornia State Fair has launched and innovative and easy way to further support nonprofit organi- zations. Non-profits can earn $1 back for each State Fair ticket their supporters pur- chase online at the State Fair's website. Since the process is completely digi- tal, nonprofits do not have to handle any ticket stock or cash. Once the nonprofits meet the criteria for par- ticipation, the organiza- tion simply sends out a special promo code to its supporters. Its supporters can then enter that code when purchasing their dis- count tickets at the State Fair website. The non- profit receives $1 for each admission ticket or carni- val wristband that is pur- chased using the non-prof- it's unique promo code. This simple, turn-key fundraiser doesn't require the nonprofit to handle or sell hard-ticket stock or cash. The program is set up online and the State Fair ticket sales tracking system provides reporting of the sales by each unique promo code that is used. Interested non-profits must first complete a short application to be consid- ered as a potential partici- pant in this new program. The application is avail- able at CAStateFair.org/ non-profit-tickets. If the non-profit meets the requirements for par- ticipation in the program, the State Fair will pro- vide a unique promotional code that the nonprofit can send out to their database of supporters to use when they order tickets online at CAStateFair.org. The Fair will also pro- vide a free digital promo- tional tool kit specially de- signed with the nonprofit name and logo. Tool kits include a digital post- card design, social media graphic and copy and web or newsletter banner im- ages. Nonprofits promote the fair and encourage their supporters to use their unique promotional code when purchasing dis- counted State Fair tickets online. After the State Fair con- cludes, the nonprofit will receive a check that totals $1 for every discounted general admission or ride wristband sale that used their special code. This program enables the California State Fair to partner with community nonprofits in a way that supports their fundrais- ing efforts and promotes the California State Fair as a community gathering place that celebrates the best of the Golden State.
