ByJimmyJohnston Not every high school student can say that he or she was a part of an award- winning cause, but the Los Molinos High School FFA students can check that off the list. Twice now. Los Molinos FFA stu- dents on Feb. 15 put on the Full and Complete Food Drive, in which the stu- dents personally filled food gift bags for people in need in the Los Molinos area. The successful food drive earned the school a Greenie at the 2017 This Way to Sustainability con- ference at California State University, Chico, an award honoring students who ac- tively promote sustainabil- ity through projects and events. This is the second year in a row the school has won a Greenie. Not only is re- ceiving a Greenie an ad- mirable achievement, but it comes with a cash prize and the school is now $200 richer. During the half-day event, students were ex- cused from classes to help fill Champions for Change gift bags with lentils, rice, quinoa and cranberry beans. The filled food bags were transported to Tom Jones' local farm for stor- age. Students organized the food drive to combat food insecurity in their own community. Students hope to establish a permanent local food pantry, a place where locals who are strug- gling with hunger can ac- quire food on a consistent basis. The food now in stor- age, for example, should meet basic community needs for about a year. Local FFA students at- tended a similar event in Washington, D.C. during the summer of 2016, when they provided 60,000 pack- aged meals for homeless families. The experience was so compelling the stu- dents wanted to coordinate a similar project in Los Mo- linos. The event engaged stu- dents in learning more about the nutritional as- pects of food. They learned about the larger problem of hunger, working with Chico State students at both the Center for Healthy Communities and in Patti Horsley's Health and Com- munity Services class. The Los Molinos Full and Complete Food Drive is a community-based collab- oration of students, farm- ers, faculty, staff and com- munity members. With funding from the Tehama County Health Services Agency, Public Health Division, the CHC was able to coordinate this event with the students. Donations were crucial to the project's success. The Public Health Divi- sion of the TCHSA and UC CalFresh donated bags to help portion and distribute the food. The North State Food Bank donated and delivered more than 1,000 pounds of rice and quinoa, along with 1,000 pounds of lentils, while Andersen & Sons Shelling of Vina pro- vided 1,000 pounds of cran- berry beans. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. of Chico sup- plied cardboard boxes to store packaged meals. RECOGNITION Los Molinos High students awarded Greenie for Full and Complete Food Drive Patriotism and love for the old flag predomi- nated Monday night when the eighty-two men who signed the call for the for- mation of the Red Bluff Home Guard assembled in the city hall to organize. Judge E. F. Lennon, sponsor for the new orga- nization, called the meet- ing to order. Judge Len- non went into detail and stated just why such an organization should be formed. He called atten- tion to the reason why a home guard is necessary as he stated: "While we are not here to get the country into deeper trou- ble, we are here for the purpose of letting the President and the peo- ple of the country know that we are with him and them in the defense of our homes and the honor of our country." Judge Lennon then stated that he believed the first thing to do was the election of a captain and other officers to carry on the work of the new guard. Captain W. A. Fish, a for- mer officer of the National Guard, was the only man placed in nomination and his election was by accla- mation. —April11,1917 100 YEARS AGO...
