The Antelope School Foster Grandparents program also was represented. "We have a number of se- niors at our SERRF sites," Birk said. "Anyone over the age of 55 can assist with us."

Volunteers FROM PAGE 1 By Will Weissert The Associated Press AUSTIN, TEXAS A home- less 17-year-old has been ar- rested, and police said Fri- day he'll be charged with murder in the killing of a University of Texas dance major whose body was re- covered in the heart of the bustling campus — unnerv- ing one of the country's best-known schools. Meechaiel Criner wasn't believed to be a university student and hadn't been living in Austin long. Po- lice Chief Art Acevedo said Criner could face additional charges in the slaying of 18-year-old Oregon-native Haruka Weiser. "We are very certain that the subject we have in cus- tody ... is responsible for the death of this beautiful young woman," Acevedo said at a campus news con- ference. Weiser was last seen leaving the campus drama building Sunday night. Her body was found Tuesday in a creek near the alumni center and UT's iconic foot- ball stadium, an area that hums with activity day and night. The slaying shook a cam- pus of about 50,000 stu- dents. University President Greg Fenves called it "hor- rifying and incomprehen- sible." "It was unsettling," said 20-year-old Jasmine Chavez, who was on UT's central mall area Friday but hails from Houston. "I feel better now that they've caught the guy." Police released surveil- lance video that showed a man they said was a suspect walking a women's bicycle. Firefighters recognized the man on the video as Criner, whom they had spoken to in connection with a trash fire near the UT campus on Monday. An Austin resident who reported the fire also called police when she saw the surveillance video, Ace- vedo said. Criner wasn't arrested for the fire but was instead taken to a shelter. Police found him there Thursday and took him into custody without incident. His arrest affidavit said his clothing matched that of the man on the surveillance video and that he was in possession of a women's bike, as well as Weiser's duffel bag and some of her other belong- ings, including her laptop. Weiser's autopsy showed she had been assaulted, but police have refused to re- lease further details about how she died, except to say that the route she took from her dorm to the drama building often passed Waller Creek, where her body was found. Criner's affidavit says Weiser's body showed "obvious trauma." It also says campus sur- veillance video not made public showed the suspect watching a female thought to be Weiser as she walked in the direction of her dorm with her head down, look- ing at her cellphone. As she passed, the affi- davit says, the suspect pro- duced "what appeared to be a shiny rigid object" and fol- lowed her. The pair dropped from view as they reached the creek bank, though, and the suspect wasn't seen on video again for two-plus hours. Police said they hadn't recovered a crime scene weapon, though, and Acev- edo wouldn't speculate on motive. Texas Department of Family Protective Services spokeswoman Julie Moody said Criner "had been in Child Protective Services care" but that she couldn't elaborate on where, for how long, or provide any further details, citing privacy rules and the ongoing criminal investigation. Police have not released much about Criner's back- ground, though a person with the same name and birthdate as the suspect is listed in driver's license records as having lived in Texarkana, about 350 miles northeast of Austin. A 2014 article in a Tex- arkana high school publica- tion featured a Meecchaiel Criner who described be- ing bullied and difficulties in foster care as a child, saying, "What I want to leave behind is my name — I want them to know who Meechaiel Criner is." Fenves said increased police patrols on campus, which have included state troopers in cars, on bikes and on horseback, would continue for the time being. The Department of Public Safety also is conducting a security review on campus, including checking video monitoring, lighting and building security systems "We will honor Haruka's life and what she stood for," Fenves said. "We will take this as an occasion to do as Haruka's parents asked us to do, learn from this and make this a better commu- nity and a safer community for everyone." NATION Teenager suspect faces murder charge in Austin student's killing Upon arrival, officers heard movement inside the residence and were able to gain entry through a win- dow opening. While an- nouncing their presence, officers heard people mov- ing in the attic and ended up having a conversation with a man who was later identified himself as Cesar Macedo. During a conversation withofficers,CesarMacedo confirmed there were mul- tiple people in the attic and officers asked him and the others to peacefully surren- der. At one point, a knife was brandished at officers through the crawl space of theatticandofficerslocated asmallboxofrifleammuni- tion in a bedroom. Officers had received word that Cesar or Chris- tian might be in possession of a shotgun or AK47-style rifle. Tehama Inter-Agency SWAT was called upon for securityofthesceneandfor further clearing of the res- idence. WhileawaitingSWATar- rival,DeniseMichelleJones, 48, of Corning began to fall through the ceiling and later crawled through the attic crawl space. She was detained, treated for inju- ries and later released. A short time later, Cesar came through the crawl space with two puncture wounds to his chest and was detained before being flown to a nearby hospital for treatment of his inju- ries. He was followed out by Angelina Maria Cas- tenada, 28, of Corning who was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment of two puncture wounds to her chest. Castenada was later bookedintoTehamaCounty Jail on the charge of assault withadeadlyweaponlikely to produce great bodily in- jury and a parole hold. Bail was $30,000. The SWAT team arrived and a search warrant was executed, however, no one else was in the residence. Items were collected for ev- idence and all personnel cleared the scene about 1 a.m. Friday. Responding agencies in- cluded Corning Police, Te- hamaCountyProbation,Te- hama County Sheriff's De- partment and Corning Fire Department. The investigation is on- going. Christian Macedo is still at-large and is to be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on his where- abouts is asked to call the Corning Police Depart- ment at 824-7000.

If you feel a swollen area, there might be a tick burrowed there. If you do find a tick on your dog, you need to re- move it as soon as possi- ble. Since ticks can trans- mit disease to people, I would suggest wearing gloves to avoid any con- tact with your skin. With a pair of tweezers, grasp the tick as close to your dog's skin as possible. Once grasped, pull outward in a straight, steady motion, making sure that you have removed the entire tick, since anything left behind could cause an infection. Do not twist the tick as you extract it as this could cause the mouth parts to break off. Dispose of it in a small container containing isopropyl alcohol, since the alcohol quickly kills the of- fending varmint. Finally, cleanse the dog's skin with a mild antiseptic solution of povidone-iodine. Keep an eye on the area where the tick was at- tached to see if an infec- tion develops. In addi- tion, watch for possible symptoms of tick-borne diseases. Lyme disease can be difficult to distin- guish from Anaplasmo- sis because symptoms are very similar. Symptoms could include lameness, decreased activity, joint swelling, fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite and neurologi- cal problems.
