The American Red Cross has been seeking to build it's disaster response presence in Tehama County for the past several months. Several new volunteers have been trained in local disaster response, particularly such things as single family house fires. One of the primary things the Red Cross does in disasters is shelter those who are evacuated. A Shelter Operations Class will be offered on Thursday, March 18 at the Family Resource Center, 220 Sycamore St. in Red Bluff. It will be held from 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The public is invited to partici- pate in this training. For more information you may contact Charles McCaul, chapter Emer- gency Services Manager, at 1- 800-934-5344 or disasterdir@sbcglobal.net.

Break-ins •A Gresystone Court resident returned home Thursday night to find someone had broke into her residence in her absence. •A man contacted police early Friday morn- ing to alert them that his apartment was broken into, and to say he was being attacked, before he disconnected. On arrival police found only broken glass and no evidence anyone had been injured. Girls Two girls attacked another pair of girls and then, brandishing a kitchen knife, chased them Thursday afternoon on Beverly Avenue. The girls were subsequently cited and released to their parents. Fraud Fraud was reported Thursday evening on For- est Glenn Place.

A cord had been removed by force, with- out being unscrewed, causing about $20 in damage. The victim sus- pected his or her room- mate. Crash • Steven Henson, 58, of Chico was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a crash at 10:11 a.m. Thursday on South Avenue, east of Woodson Bridge. Henson was driving west on South Avenue while under the influence of prescription medication and tried to make a left turn into Woodson County Park, missing the entrance and almost hitting a stop sign pole. He then reversed the vehicle across both lanes, almost hitting a passing vehicle, before driving off the north shoulder where he hit a wooden post and came to a stop in the grass shoulder. A passerby called 911 and stood by to await California Highway Patrol arrival as Henson slept in the driver's seat of his vehicle, which had minor damage. • Tammy Chain, 48, of Anderson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a colli- sion with a big rig at 1:50 p.m. Thursday on north- bound Interstate 5, north of Jellys Ferry Road. Chain was driving north in the slow lane about 65 mph behind a big rig dri- ven about 55 mph by Ver- non Evans, 52, of Kent, Wash. Chain attempted to pass Evans, but due to her level of intoxication she pulled back into the slow lane, hitting the left rear of Evans' trailer. Chains lost control of the vehicle, spun through a perimeter fence, hit a wooden sign post and overturned down a dirt embankment. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels between two trees in the rest area. Evans stopped on right shoulder just ahead. No one was injured, however, Chain's vehicle received major damage and Evans' trailer received moderate dam- age.

Police reports Student art competition CHICO — Rep. Wally Herger encourages students to participate in the 2010 Congressional Art Competition for an opportunity to have their art displayed in the U.S. Capitol and a trip to Washington, D.C. for the winners' reception. "During my time in Congress I have been proud to sponsor district art competitions that demonstrate the outstanding talents of so many of our local youth," Herger said. "Each winner from Congres- sional Districts across the country has the honor of having his or her work hung in a walkway to the Capitol building. I look forward to seeing this year's entries and encourage all those who are eligi- ble to enter." High school students from Cali- fornia's Second Congressional District may enter art- work to be displayed at the Capitol for an entire year. Each student can enter one piece of art that is no larger than 24 inches by 24 inches by 4 inches including the frame and cannot be heavier than 15 pounds. Students may submit art in the following media: paintings, drawings, two-dimensional col- lages, prints, mixed media, com- puter generated art and pho- tographs. The winners' reception will be June 17 in Washington D.C. The winner will receive two tickets to Washington D.C. for the reception and will be eligible for a $5,000 scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design. Artwork must be submitted to Herger's Chico office, 2635 For- est Ave. Ste. 100, no later than 5 p.m. April 23. Herger will compile a panel of judges from local community mem- bers to choose a winner. Call 893-8363 for more infor- mation. Herger Change your clocks, change your batteries With the switch to Daylight savings time Sunday, CalFire and the Office of the State Fire Marshal are reminding all California residents to change their smoke alarm batteries when setting their clocks. Every year, lives are lost due to inoperative smoke alarms. More than 66 percent of home fire deaths that occurred between 2003 and 2006 were in homes without a working smoke alarm, according to the National Fire Protection Association. The changing of the clocks provides an ideal reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries at least twice a year. "With proper maintenance and regular testing, smoke alarms play a pivotal role in the early notifica- tion of a fire emergency," said Chief Tonya Hoover, acting state fire marshal. "By taking just a few seconds each year to replace the battery, you can truly make a difference in protecting your family and your home." Smoke detector tips: • Test smoke alarms once a month. • Replace batteries in all smoke alarms twice a year. • Don't borrow or remove batteries from smoke alarms even temporarily. • Regularly vacuum or dust smoke alarms to keep them working properly. • Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. • Don't paint over smoke alarms. • Practice family fire drills so everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm goes off.
