Years before the words Expect More Tehama had such community meaning as they do now, I was fortunate enough to experience the idea first hand. I have always been the type to expect more from myself and with the incredible support of friends and family I realized my goal of leaving Red Bluff to begin college at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Now six years later, I am still on my educational path but I have very different motivations. As a graduate student in the Chico State School Psy- chology/PPS Credential Program, I am motivated not by the desire to leave Red Bluff, but instead by the desire to return to Red Bluff and work in the field of education. When I ask myself the question, "How and why did my motivations change, but my path con- tinue?", I find there are two answers…opportunities and relation- ships. Opportunities in psychology shaped my confidence and desire to learn more. As a Red Bluff High School student, my family pushed me to challenge myself and take college classes. I enrolled in the first class offered on the Red Bluff High School campus that fit my schedule- Introduc- tion to Psychology. From this oppor- tunity I learned two things. First, I real- ized that I could take a college class and succeed…a notion that while I had assumed I could do was much scarier than I had anticipated. And sec- ond, I learned that I liked this thing called Psychology. In my third and final year at UC Santa Barbara, I was required to take a class about school psychology. It began not only as an opportunity to build relationships, but additionally as an amazing opportunity to explore what kind of job I could have with this BA degree I had chosen. During this final year, I also participated in under- graduate research within the psycholo- 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 • A man was arrested on misdemeanor warrants after a caller reported see- ing a man and woman possibly "doing meth" in a white lifted Silverado truck in the 1300 block of Burgess Street. • Three men, in sepa- rate incidents Thursday, were charged with viola- tion of parole and are being held without bail. Jeremy Sant Oneill, 39, of Red Bluff was arrested in the 1200 block of Franzell Street. Howard Roy King Jr., 46, of Red Bluff was arrested at the Crystal Motel. Bret Alan Phillips, 48, of Red Bluff was arrested in the 6600 block of Dream Valley Road. • Two people were arrested during a traffic stop of a red 1993 Toyota Thursday at Antelope Boulevard and Interstate 5. Matthew Otto Lee Swan, 29, of Red Bluff, also known as Mark Eldon Swan or Marion E. Swan, was charged with possession of a controlled substance. Bail was set at $15,000. Wendy Little- feather Ramsey, 38, of Red Bluff, also known as Quinton, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and on a warrant for driving with- out a license. Bail was set at $4,000. gy department. This research experi- ence combined with the opportuni- ty to learn about the applied field of school psychology, I learned two simple but very important lessons. First, I learned that the field of school psychology existed and second I learned that there existed a career path that could blend my pas- sion for research and experi- mentation with my fascina- tion with the human mind, and with my passion for helping others; namely, chil- dren and their families. Through these educational opportunities and relation- ships, I began to think back on my own experiences growing up in a small town and the education I received at Red Bluff High. I questioned, perhaps Red Bluff may not be such a bad place after all? Upon graduating from UC Santa Barbara I "temporarily" moved back to Red Bluff only while awaiting the next phase or opportunity of my edu- cational path. I expected this to last only a month or two. Three years later, I realize that moving back to my home town and to my community, was itself the opportunity…and one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. As an energized, proud college graduate, I began searching for jobs; graduate programs and answers. What I found was a community open and ready for me to flourish within and build relationships that have now for- ever impacted my educational and life path. Through a new friend, I learned about this organization called Girls Incorporated. Interesting I thought; but my new friend knew it was more than interesting; she knew it was something I needed to be a part of. So in the Expect More spirit, I applied out of my comfort zone to be a Girls Inc. facilitator. As a facilitator I made relation- ships with the girls, my fellow facilita- tors and the board members. I began seeing myself not only as a college graduate but as a young professional. I • Michelle Diane Ryan, 29, of Red Bluff was arrested by task force agents Thursday on Kaer Avenue. Sheriff's deputies assisted TIDE during the incident involving Ryan's white 1998 Ford Mustang. She was charged on a warrant for illegally transferring a controlled substance. Bail was set at $15,000. Burglary • A break-in was reported Thursday at a garage to a rental property in the 1300 block of Mon- roe Street. Vandalism • The coin slots to a laundry room washer and dryer were reportedly vandalized by a man with a hammer Thursday in the 700 block of Lakeside Drive. Damages were estimated at $300, and the suspect was not found. Animals • An anonymous caller reported Thursday that more than 20 dogs were living on a property in the 22600 block of Finnell Avenue in Corning. An animal regulation officer was set to respond to the residence on Friday. • A 36-year-old woman reported Thursday about ongoing problems with a neighbor who has shot several of her animals throughout the past two months in the 5300 block of Edith Avenue in the Corning area. The caller was given information about civil proceedings to collect veterinary bills if applicable. The family of Glenn Cox would like to thank our friends and community members for their outpouring of support during this difficult time. The prayers, cards, food, general help, and donations to the athletic fund at Los Molinos High School have truly shown what a wonderful community we live in and why Glenn called Los Molinos home. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL! applied and began my first semester of graduate school with a new found con- fidence; I not only had a degree, but I was an important part of my commu- nity, I was for the first time a part of something very powerful. The girls I worked with looked up to me; I had something to offer my classmates; I had experi- ence in building relation- ships, in giving back and I was constantly learning from the "life classroom" as well as the college class- room. Cori Brown Thriving on the energy of volunteering in the com- munity and the opportuni- ties that it provides to be a lifelong learner, I have now worked on several Girls Inc. events. I am currently working on the Vagina Monologues committee for Girls Inc. In reflecting for this article I have real- ized that it is opportunities to work on grass roots events like Vagina Mono- logues that ultimately influenced my educational journey to not be directed away from Red Bluff, but instead to be a part of and thrive inside of the com- munity I now call home. I feel so for- tunate to have had the chance to build relationships with community mem- bers, to learn about myself, grow as an individual and contribute to the com- munity that I love so much. So on March 3rd when I am watching Vagina Monologues I am going to feel both proud and privileged to live in Red Bluff as a young profes- sional; to have opportunities to contin- ue relationships within the communi- ty; and most significantly to have the opportunity to give back what was given to me- the chance to Expect More from ourselves and our commu- nity. Please join me in attendance of the Vagina Monologues March 3 at the State Theatre at 7 p.m. and stay to for the opportunity to participate in Vagi- na Dialogues with the audience and further explore why this movement is so important and meaningful.

Theft • Conex Boxes, large storage containers, were reported stolen Thursday morning from Balfour Beatty at the pumping sta- tion construction site in the 700 block of Diamond Avenue. Crash •A Red Bluff man will likely be facing charges of hit and run after he crashed his pickup at 2:30 a.m. Thursday in the Bend area then reported it stolen. Michael Mason, 21, was driving west on Bend Ferry Road, east of Wallen Road, at a high rate of speed when he allowed his 1973 Chevro- let pickup to leave the left road edge. The pickup, which had major damage, went through two fences and hit a tree south of Bend Ferry Road, damaging 20 feet of fence before he fled the scene and aban- doning his pickup. Mason received minor injuries, but sought his own aid. Fire •A control burn escape caused a small dump trail- er full of wood to catch fire just before 1 p.m. Thursday at a wood split- ting operation in the 23000 block of Bracken Lane. The incident, reported at 12:56 p.m., caused $8,000 in damage with a $15,000 save before it was contained at 1:05 p.m. CalFire and Tehama County Fire responded. 5 DAYS LEFT TO VOTE!
