CHICOSTATE Business college to hold info session in Redding on April 27 CONTRIBUTEDPHOTO Elkins SERRF students Landen Weston, Lauren Coots, Rhiannon Talley and Dakoda Weston have been having a great time learning about different animals and building them with the Bricks Lab. It has sparked their curiosity and creativity. ELKINS ANIMAL LESSONS Students at Gerber Elementary School re- ceive advice from pen pal Cooper Sprunk of the Grizzlies football team at the University of Montana. Sprunk is an offensive lineman and has been writing to the students throughout the school year. He is such an encourage- ment to them, said Princi- pal Jenny Marr. He tells them what it takes to become a college student and motivates them to do their best in school. Eric and Cinder Dawald have played an integral role in igniting college spirit of the third-graders in Keri Spengler's class over the past few years, Marr said. Eric is a graduate of the University of Montana and a former Grizzlies football player. This year they have once again, purchased shirts for every child in class and sent goodies and letters, Marr said. The most important gift they have given the children is a pen pal on the Grizzlies football team. Having that personal connection with the Uni- versity of Montana, Marr said, has really made a tremendous difference in the climate of the class- room and inspires Spen- gler's students to set goals and to work as a team. Students are pen pals with college football player The Tehama County Cattlewomen is pleased to announce that it is of- fering at least two scholar- ships, each in the amount of $2,000, to support stu- dents and their families who are engaged in the agricultural industry in general, and specifically the cattle industry. The scholarships are both for current college students. One scholarship is for a student who is ma- joring in an agricultural field and one is for a stu- dent who is not majoring in an agricultural field but comes from a Tehama County family who is in- volved in an agricultural business. The members of the Scholarship Commit- tee select the scholar- ship winners based on the quality of an inter- view with the student and the student's autobiogra- phy, financial need, un- derstanding and poten- tial contribution to agri- culture, understanding of the cattle industry and grade point average. Past scholarship win- ners are encouraged to ap- ply again as long as they are eligible. Scholarship applica- tions and a full descrip- tion of the process for ap- plying are available on http://www.tehamacoun- tycattlewomen.org/. Appli- cations are due by May 6.

GERBER ELEMENTARY PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. By Corey Williams TheAssociatedPress DETROIT Detroit's hard- pressed school system has found elevated lev- els of lead and copper in nearly a third of its ele- mentary schools, con- tamination that one ex- pert says could be found nationwide, wherever school authorities spend the time and money to look. The news gave par- ents in the 46,000-stu- dent district yet another reason to worry, and prompted the teachers' union to appeal for help from autoworkers, who trucked bottled water to a school where some students were drinking from bathroom sinks af- ter the water fountains were shut down as a pre- caution. "Our students want water all day long," De- troit teachers' union president Ivy Bailey said Thursday. Nine of every 10 schools and day-care centers in the U.S. are not required to test for lead contamination un- der federal law, since their water is already tested by municipal sup- pliers. But like most other school districts nation- wide, Detroit has ag- ing buildings with lead pipes and water fix- tures that have parts made with lead — and that's where the trou- ble lies. The testing was prompted by the cri- sis in Flint, Michigan, where lead flowed from taps after state authori- ties switched that city's water supply from De- troit's system to the Flint River in an attempt to save money. About 8,000 Flint-area children under age 6 have potentially been exposed to lead.
