Pileup FROM PAGE 1 this tremendous accom- plishment by earning your high school diploma and it is this determination that will help you be success- ful in setting and achiev- ing your goals." The adult education program provides anyone who is 18 or older the op- portunity to enroll in the online diploma program. This year Span said there were more gradu- ates than ever before. In the 2014-2015 school year there were 47 gradu- ates, Span said. That has nearly tripled. The main reason for the success this year is the need for a high school di- ploma to apply for work, receive financial aid at colleges and the cancella- tion of the California High School Exit Exams. "Many students sim- ply gave up in their se- nior year at high school because they could not pass certain classes or had other personal reasons that prevented them from attending their classes at their high school," Span said. As a result the program was able to find numerous adults who only needed a few courses to complete the 180 credits needed for a high school diploma.

"The cus- tomers seem happy, our production is up and we're looking forward to a great summer." Brandt says she likes working the farmers mar- ket because it gives her an opportunity to work side by side with her children, teaching them valuable lessons. All of them have been helping in the stand by the time they were six and had learned how to count change back and work the scale by the time they were nine. "It's nice working in a family environment and to be able to give my kids and others in the community the opportunity to work with the public and learn about business," Brandt said. The fruit stand in Dairyville has been going for 16 years and employees have been coming to the Saturday farmers market for 13 years, during which time Brandt says tomatoes are her biggest seller — red being people's favorites but with a slow acceptance of the more colorful heirloom varieties. "By the end of the sum- mer, we've grown 15 dif- ferent (heirloom) variet- ies," Brandt said. "When we first brought them, we had to give them away to get people to try them, but we've developed a bit of a market for them." Saturday markets run 7:30 a.m. to noon through Sept. 24 at River Park, 100 Main St. The Wednesday markets, which include live music are 5-8 p.m. through Sept. 7 on Wash- ington Street between Pine and Oak streets in front of the Tehama County Court- house. EBT and credit cards are accepted. For more information visit the chamber web- site: www.redbluffcham- ber.com. The year-round Satur- day Market farmers mar- ket operates 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the parking lot of The Home Depot on North Main Street. EBT cards are accepted. Markets FROM PAGE 1 come across teachers, who like Sue have been teaching for 18 or 20 years, and help them see the craft of teach- ing in a different way. I help them re-imagine the room and support them." Carlson donated her time to helping Evergreen teach- ers Sue Hewitt and Kristie Ostrom, using only things the school already had to help show that a remodel can be done at no cost by using one's imagination. "I wanted to say let's come together and show the power of community," Carlson said. "People who love you and can help make it happen. A lot of people can say yes, it needs to be different, but it takes all of us working together and doing something to actu- ally make it happen some- times. I'm super grateful that Evergreen believes in what we are doing. They are one of our amazingly innovative school districts and this was made possible because they support their teachers." The traditional class- room has children sitting in the desk all day being compliant and yet soci- ety asks adults to be able to be creative in bringing ideas to the table and make choices as well as be able to have self-management skill, Carlson said. "The experience we give kids in the classroom needs to reflect that," Carl- son said. "We need to give them the opportunity to learn to self manage. If we give them the choices and experiences in school that foster that, in addition to what we already teach, they will leave our system ready to make a difference in the world." Sometimes that environ- ment is as simple as fresh paint and a different style of seating choices. By hav- ing choices between sitting in a desk by themselves, grouping those desk to- gether in four or the non- traditional options like a bean bag seat or a yoga ball they have the freedom to make choices that best fit them, she said. This cre- ates a mind set of looking at options and looking for solutions. "We're really excited about it," Nobles said of the renovation. "This is the next step in our journey of understanding what kids need to learn. We're ask- ing our teachers to signif- icantly change how they teach and our environment needs to reflect that." Teaching children to be creative, out of the box thinkers who problem solve is something she hears community members say they need, including a gen- tleman she ran into when she was in the store right before coming in to paint. The man asked about what she was painting and when she told him about the re- model and why they were doing it he became excited. He told her one of the prob- lems the local businesses have is finding employees who can think for them- selves and problem solve, she said. "We've got to get our kids to think, problem- solve and collaborate and if we're going to do that, we've got to change the structure so teachers can better teach what we ex- pect of them," Nobles said. "Michelle is helping us get there."

BETTYLOUISEBLANDINI July 23, 1939 ~ May 31, 2016 Betty Louise Blandini, a kind and compassionate friend, wife and mother, passed away quietly in her home sur- rounded by her loving family on a beautiful morning, the 31st of May, 2016. Betty was born on July 23, 1939 in Portland, Oregon and soon after moved to San Diego where she lived until the end of World War II. She grew up and went to school in Crescent City, CA and eventually found her way to the state of Washington where she graduated from Walla Walla College in 1961 with a Nursing degree. Soon after, she began a lifelong journey comforting and caring for others. Betty loved being a nurse and she touched the lives of so many people in over 40 years of nursing. She worked at hospitals in Oregon, Missouri, California and Arizona. During her career, her greatest joy was in help- ing to bring new life into the world, both by teaching family birthing classes and working in the delivery room. Betty called this "Happy Nursing" and she dearly loved working with her babies and was delighted to later see them around town. She was the motivating force that brought about the first alternative, family-inclusive birthing center in Humboldt County. Betty was passionate about her family and friends. She maintained many close relationships that lasted most of her life due to her funny, loyal and genuinely kind na- ture. She was artistic and particularly enjoyed working with pastels and watercolors. She loved her community in Red Bluff and while she was able, she volunteered at the Hope Chest, helping support a cause she believed made a difference in her community. She loved her family, travelling, and animals, especially cats and butterflies. Bet- ty left behind many great memories captured in a plenti- ful record of beautiful photographs documenting a full and lovely life. Betty blessed the lives of her husband, her children and their families and a wealth of good friends. Her passing was preceded by her parents, Leslie and Martha Griffin; her sister, Joyce Gee; her brother, Lyle Griffin; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Evelyn and Fiori Blandini; and her sister-in-law Claire Steele. She is sur- vived by her loving husband of 40 years, Neil Blandini; her children: Kent Kime and his wife Sue; ElizaBeth Schatz, her husband Ian and their daughters Jasmine and Brianna; Karen Blandini, her husband Charles Barr and their daughters Halston and Holland; Janet Blandini, her husband Frank Lake and their children Jessica, Raina and Nicolas; Richard Blandini, his wife Allison and their chil- dren Raphael and Ellie; her brother-in-law Roy Gee and his wife Bennie; and her nephew Jon Gee, his wife Jenni- fer and their daughters Joy and Julia; her niece Donna Webb, her husband Steve and her daughter Shelly Wyscaver; niece Linda Klein and her husband Ed; and her nephew Ron Griffin. Betty also leaves behind her adopt- ed, well-loved, and spoiled pet cats, Shadow and Mon- key. A celebration of Betty's life will be held at the Cone Community United Methodist Church located at 11220 Highway 99 in Los Molinos, CA on Friday, June 24th at 6:30PM. Services will be followed by a reception at the same location. The family wishes to invite all those who would like to attend. The family would also like to thank all the close friends who gave their heartfelt com- panionship and loving support. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting the cancer research charity of your choice by volunteering or by making a donation. On a beautiful day, if you are passing a garden and see a but- terfly, please think of Betty.
