forbed. Dogs respond well and adjust easier to new surroundings when there is a definite rou- tine in their lives. Be sure to socialize your canine companion. By exposing him or her to different situations, it will help them feel more comfortable when encountering new ani- mals, people, and expe- riences. Socialized dogs are typically friendlier, more predictable, and able to handle stress better than their under- socialized counterparts are. Un-socialized dogs tend to become fear- ful, and possibly aggres- sive, because they do not have the ability to cope with novel circum- stances. Training should, and can be a positive, fun ex- perience for you, your family, and your faith- ful friend. It will not only help your furry com- panion become a po- lite member of the fam- ily, but it will also help to strengthen the relation- ships between all parties involved. Remember, as long as the dog is physically able to learn, the ani- mal can be trained and a well-trained dog is def- inite joy to be with. De- spite what you may have heard, old dogs can learn new tricks. Ronnie Casey is vice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@ gmail.com.

Casey FROMPAGE4 Staff report @redbluffnews on Twitter GERBER Suspects and in- formation are sought by the Tehama County Sher- iff's Department in a bur- glary at a Gerber residence in the 8400 block of San Benito Avenue. The incident was re- ported Thursday morn- ing and is believed to have taken place sometime be- tween Wednesday and 8 a.m. Thursday, during which time suspects cut their way into a shop build- ing and removed items and vehicles, according to a Sheriff's Department press release. A silver and black 2013 ItascaMercedesmotorhome, California license 7CQU618, a yellow 2003 Bombardier Ski Doo mobile with trailer, license 04HD42, and white and black 2007 Bombardier Ski Doo snow mobile with trailer, license 04HD40 were amongst the items taken. Sheriff's logs indicated that a surveillance system was taken from the prop- erty. BURGLARY Motorhome, snowmobiles taken in burglary as the assailant, the re- lease said. Hamilton was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon not a firearm. Bail was set at $30,000, the re- lease said. The Tehama County Jail inmate listing indi- cates the bail amount at $15,000. Assault FROM PAGE 1 nity. "As part of that my feel- ing is that the economic development is not just trying to get more busi- nesses here but actually improving the lives of our people, and within that we need to deal with some of the other issues, socially, that we have here within the community," Miller said. Meeting FROM PAGE 1 can only recommend mari- juana use for treatment and because it is still an illegal, class one substance under federal law, it cannot be prescribed. Gehrung focused on how marijuana causes the body to produce lower amounts of chemicals nat- urally found in the brain, leading to lower satis- faction levels and in- creased levels of anxiety, Hinkston said. For teens, whose brains are still de- veloping until their mid- 20s, the consequences were the physical equiva- lent of an adult having to go through life with un- der-sized feet. West Street Elemen- tary and Shasta Commu- nity College District had games of drug facts Jeop- ardy and Lassen View El- ementary played a drug facts trivia game. Los Molinos High School had a web chat with scientists at the Na- tional Institute on Drug Abuse along with other students around the coun- try. The chat was held Fri- day at Los Molinos High School and organized by Katelyn Williams, the student success special- ist and tobacco coordi- nator. There were 33 stu- dents who participated in the web chat and each of them had their own lap- tops, Williams said. The students, along with other students around the country, were able to submit questions to the scientists at the in- stitution regarding drugs and alcohol facts. There were more than 30 questions submitted. Each year, the institute prepares a transcript of all questions answered and posts them on its website at drugabuse.gov. Throughout the week there were morning an- nouncements at each school, posters displayed and informational booths. Students from Vista's Club Live chapter helped at an information table where students selected from a variety of free ma- terials about drugs and addiction, Hinkston said. Several students took an online National Drug & Alcohol IQ Challenge. Students who completed the quiz, either online or on paper, were entered in a drawing for a prize. During the event, stu- dents were able to take a mock field sobriety test using Fatal Vision gog- gles that simulate being impaired while under the influence, Hinkston said. The event was spon- sored by NIDA and the National Institute on Al- cohol Abuse and Alco- holism, both part of the National Institutes of Health. Locally, the event was coordinated by the Te- hama County Drug-Free Community Coalition, a community collaborative that seeks to reduce sub- stance abuse among youth in the county by provid- ing information and re- sources and addressing environmental factors that contribute to sub- stance abuse, including community norms and policies and student ac- cess to drugs.

"No, the weather didn't stop us; we were delivering in a pretty significant rain- storm," said Brett Galyean, project leader at Coleman Gaylean directed efforts to load, truck and then re- lease the fish in heavy rain at the Bend Bridge Boat Ramp in Red Bluff begin- ning Jan. 3. After a couple of drier days, the crew dealt with freezing temperatures and ice at the hatchery by using salt to help with truck traction on the project's fi- nal day. Galyean said stormy weather, high river flows and turbidity are excel- lent release conditions that help expedite the steelhead migration to the Pacific Ocean. With the steelhead de- liveries complete and fac- ing an even wetter follow- ing week, Galyean's crew began preparing the Cole- man hatchery raceways for the next big yearly delivery – the release of 12 million fall-run Chinook salmon be- ginning in the early spring. "We are planning to be in the rain if we have to, clean- ing and prepping the race- ways and putting in new screens," Galyean said. "The process continues regard- less of weather conditions and the hatchery staff will get it done." Just south of Coleman is the Red Bluff Diversion Dam, where the Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office collects fish passage data daily from four rotary screw traps that provide key in- formation on how well the state's salmon fishery is do- ing. Regardless of the wind, rain or temperatures, staff with the Mainstem Juvenile Monitoring Program work days and nights clearing de- bris from the traps. With flows on the Sac- ramento River at danger- ously high levels for the traps, program staff me- thodically began removing the traps under rainy con- ditions early in the week of Jan. 2. When the river flows lowered with calmer weather, crews redeployed the traps and began sam- pling again after being out of commission for two days. Later in the week, before an even larger storm rolled in, the dismantling process be- gan again. "These can be cold, soggy and long shifts for our crew," said Josh Gru- ber, the supervisory fish bi- ologist for the Mainstem Juvenile Monitoring Pro- gram. "My crew will often interact with the public and will hear comments such as 'you guys have the best job in the world.' We all agree with that, but then again, they don't see us at 2 a.m. in the driving rain, either." Earlier this season, the crew collected 96 samples within a two-week period in all weather conditions, nearly double the normal workload, to ensure key data was collected to gen- erate an estimate of juve- nile fish passing through during their critical migra- tion period. The rotary screw traps at the Red Bluff Diver- sion Dam are the collec- tion points for the Juvenile Monitoring Program, in op- eration since 1994, and are used daily to sample for ju- venile salmon, steelhead and sturgeon. The information gath- ered is used, among other things, by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies as a basis to esti- mate the number of endan- gered winter run fish enter- ing the Delta system. "Missing even one day of the survey can affect the data, but accurate esti- mates can still be made us- ing scientifically valid sta- tistical methods," Gruber said. "The data we provide is so important that we hate being down for any period of time. But the safety of our crews and keeping equip- ment in operable condition is first and foremost." Meanwhile, the boat crews out of the Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office also con- tinued their work in the rain. For the fourth year in a row, the Lodi staff con- ducted additional surveys for imperiled Delta smelt, launching up to five tows a day at each of several lo- cations on the San Joaquin and Lower Sacramento Riv- ers and Honker Bay and Su- isun Bay. The monitoring pro- gram, expanded this year, has been ongoing since Dec. 19 and provides the Service and state and federal wa- ter managers with valuable near real-time information about the number and loca- tion of Delta smelt, as well as other data for an ongoing Delta smelt markings study. The crews have been on a regular four-days-per- week schedule and have been out in the rain sev- eral times during the early 2017 storms, said Matthew Dekar, the office's deputy project leader, noting that increased precipitation could trigger the movement of Delta smelt. "Documenting that is su- per critical, and we've been out through several wet weather days," Dekar said. The surveys are meant to help inform water project managers should the imper- iled fish moved closer to ir- rigation water diversions in the southern Delta, where they become entrained and cannot escape. "Rain events are impor- tant for the behavior of the species we're monitoring; so it's even more important to be out," Dekar said.
