CRMC Celebrates Opening of Physical Therapy Center
Courtesy of Barbara Mayberry Third Graders in Barbara Mayberry’s class at Williams Elementary School began this school year by enrolling in the “My Soldier” program in collaboration with Manhattanville College. Miss Mayberry’s students adopted Sgt. Eric S. Hille, part of a California Army National Guard unit out of Southern California. This particular infantry unit provides security for all the supply convoys that go into Iraq. Students sent letters to Sgt. Hille in August, and they all received letters back from him. That’s when they came up with the idea to send a CARE package to Sgt. Hille and the rest of his unit. Students began bringing items from home to put into the CARE package, and soon other students and teachers from the elementary school were contributing as well. Two huge boxes weighing over 100 lbs. were mailed to Iraq the end of November in order to reach Sgt. Hille by Christmas. Postage was donated by school employees, the Williams Elementary Student Body Fund, and Gamma Alpha Master Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. The CARE packages contained just about everything from soup to books, socks to puzzles, toothbrushes and toothpaste, to mustard and ketchup, and a Williams Elementary School sweatshirt. Last month, Miss Mayberry’s class was elated when they received a package from Sgt. Hille and his unit, “. . . to show our thanks and appreciation for what you have done to make our lives over here a little easier, everyone whose life you have touched over here by sending the care packages.” Returned in the package was the school sweatshirt, which had Continued Page 7

Opinion Be Aware this tax season By Andrea Moore, Editor
It’s that fun time of year again… tax season. So I guess there are more than four seasons in a year, and I doubt anyone, except maybe an auditor, would consider it their favorite time of year. With tax season in full swing, so are the scammers. I have been receiving at least two emails a day from the “IRS.” Guess what? The IRS does not send out emails asking for money or your personal information. The IRS will not call you on the phone asking you for your credit card number or social security number. So, these emails are from those lovely “phishers,” people who prey on the unwary. They may send out thousands of emails and it only takes a few people to be hooked, for the phishers to fill their evil creels. Email is a wonderful tool for everyone, even the bad guys. Some things to remember are; your bank will not email you asking for your personal information;
never click on a link in an email unless you are 100 percent sure of the sender, it may look legit but chances are it’s not; always go directly to a company’s website, never follow links from those scary sounding emails. It’s okay to be suspicious, you are always better safe than sorry. Some of the most common scams are those emails supposedly coming from banks, Ebay, Myspace, the IRS, someone saying they are from another country needing your help for them get their money, a sweepstakes that you never entered, you name it. It’s not true. Some are even threatening, scaring people to take action. “Your account will be closed unless we hear from you,” is a good example. So, just keep these tips in mind next time you are checking your email, and share them with those unfamiliar with computers. My husband Aaron and I caught a thief earlier this week. Okay, so it was only our five year old daughter Meredith, but still. Somehow she got into the Easter candy, but amazingly she only part of it. “Why didn’t you eat it all?” Aaron asked her, surprised. “I only wanted to get into a little trouble,” she replied innocently. Oh, are we in trouble with that one. Hey, at least she was honest! Not to be outdone, I took Isaac with me to the store the other night, no harm in that right? During our time at the grocery store we could hear a kid on the other side of the building, screeching like a very loud and annoying monkey.
“What’s that noise?” Isaac asked “A naughty kid, don’t even think about it,” I replied. Later we were in the soup aisle when a lady and her two children turned down our aisle. When they drew even with us Isaac pointed at her son and said “That’s the naughty kid.” Now, keep in mind that our son, bless his heart, is usually somewhat hard to understand, but in this instance you could hear him clear as a bell. Did the floor graciously open up to swallow me in my moment of embarrassment? Unfortunately no. Oh, the memories we make.... ~Happy Easter, Everyone!~

“Civil Writes” Williams Councilman Urges Citizen Involvement Eddie Johnson, Williams councilman, in a message to the Pioneer Review, is urging residents of the community to develop events such as music-inthe-park, Cinco de Mayo celebrations, or perhaps “welcome, neighbor!” picnics. He goes on to say that people should be putting forth information about community activities, especially those for children this summer. Councilman Johnson also wants citizens to avail themselves of the free activities at the Williams Community Center, including Game Day on every third Wednesday afternoon of the month, and Movie Day on every fourth Wednesday afternoon. Johnson’s message included a welcome to this publication to the community, adding, “I think the Williams Pioneer Review can be a voice for residents to express their (community) wants and needs.”

parents wished came naturally. From time to time we all struggle in certain areas when raising children, especially today, in our all too-fast-paced lives. Parenting is a multi-faceted, multidimensional dynamic that often challenges even the most naturally gifted or experienced parents. Parents, step-parents, grandparents, foster parents, extended families, guardians and the like, who raise our children are not alone. Our schools and our community, as a whole, share a great responsibility in this process. We can all make a positive difference by setting a good example and doing the right thing. Sometimes knowing what ‘the right thing’ is may be the challenge.
Kids Come First! Courtesy of WPD Sgt. Ed Anderson It may sound cliché, but the old adage “The children are our future” will forever ring true. Raising the children of today into the responsible and productive adults of tomorrow is a monumental task. As we all know, this process starts at home with attentive, caring, supportive, nurturing, understanding and encouraging parents. These are just a few of the qualities all
We, at the Williams Police Department, also feel a great responsibility in the overall development of today’s youth. We continuously work with the Williams schools in a collaborative partnership that promotes these goals. With the pressures of gangs, the underage use of alcohol and tobacco, as well as illicit drugs, it has been determined that prevention can make all the difference. Providing preventative educational programs to our youth is a top priority for the Williams Police Department. The Williams Police Department offers the G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education And Training) program to all 4th and 7th grade

students in the Williams Unified School District. The 4th grade curriculum is 6 weeks long and is offered in the spring semester. The 7th grade curriculum is 13 weeks long and is offered in the fall semester. The G.R.E.A.T. program provides a police officer to come into each 4th and 7th grade classroom for one hour each week. The police officer teaches the students about the dangers of gangs and that the gang lifestyle is not at all glamorous. The program also teaches students ways to resist peer pressure and to be responsible and respectful citizens. The Williams Police Department also offers the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program in the fall semester. The DARE program teaches 5th grade students to resist drugs, alcohol and tobacco. The program brings a police officer into each 5th grade classroom for one hour each week. The officer teaches students practical skills to avoid risky situations, to resist peer pressure and to be confident in themselves. Both programs have proven to be effective in guiding today’s youth. Both programs provide a graduation ceremony at their conclusion to celebrate and recognize the students’ accomplishments. Tip: Please do your part, as a member of this community, by helping our children make it to their future. Lead by example; teach respect by showing respect to others.

Community Commentary Zackary Klein Mr. Richins Pierce High School Arbuckle CA. 95912
Mr. Michael Richins as Teacher of the Year By Zackary Klein Mr. Michael Richins is my high school Spanish teacher and he started my drive to learn Spanish. Students know him by the name of Señ or Richins. He taught me that language can be fun if you put in the time and effort to make it so. Mr. Richins has bonded with his students and connects with them to allow a better understanding of the language. He, besides being an excellent Spanish teacher, seems to have excelled in many other subjects while attending Chico State. Mr. Richins can make a difference by teaching knowledge of other cultures comparing our lives to those that live in different climates and regions. He will in no doubt, succeed in his love for art. Seeing Mr. Richins’ smile shows me that happiness could come everyday, just smile. When I first met Mr. Richins, he appealed to me as a person with wisdom. Everyday he wears dress clothes and is clean cut. He always answers my questions thoroughly, as long as it doesn’t pertain to mathematics. Mr. Richins grew up in Gridley. He was born on January 27, 1976. After being married for eleven years to a woman he met at a dance and having kids, he discovered his love for spending his recreational time with his family. Mr. Richins loves to travel. He says that he will go wherever life takes him. During his travels, Mr. Richins loves to order Spanish chocolate and read good books to learn more about foreign countries. He sure shows his inner connoisseur of food because Mr. Richins loves food with a passion. In college, besides his two best subjects: Spanish and Art, he also excelled in History, Music, and Drama. Mr. Richins, after

Editor’s Note:
Community Commentary is unedited and is run in its original form. working as a shoe salesman, an apartment manager, and an IRS agent, has spent two and a half years in Mexico and two weeks in Spain. He has been learning Spanish for twelve years and has been a teacher for two years. Mr. Richins got his drive to learn Spanish when he had moved to Mexico to serve a mission for his church. Mr. Richins decided to work at Pierce High School because the good atmosphere suited his personality. Once hired, he loved his job. “Good students to work with, good school to work for.” Mr. Richins said. He decided to teach because he really enjoys working with high school students. “It’s a great stage in life with great opportunity. I want to help them make the most of it” Mr. Richins said. He has helped out a planned Spain trip by hosting fund raisers with the rest of the kids. Mr. Richins has also hosted community service cleaning of Arbuckle. He is a very strong dedicated teacher who knows his subject extremely well. He is not only a Spanish teacher, but an art teacher as well as he is a very good artist. Mr. Richins is full of energy that gets his class really excited. Everyone is able to learn well and their grades show it. I am a teacher’s aid of Mr. Richins and have seen all of the grades. Being his aid, I can better understand the ways of teaching for Mr. Richins is such an excellent example of a teacher that just began and had a huge success. Mr. Richins is by far one of the most favored teachers by students and parents by being well informed and consistent in his teachings. I’m Zackary Klein, one of his students that has taken the opportunity to take his class and learn a lot more about the outside world. Everyday he shows up on time and keeps the whole class busy at all times, while still having a lot of fun. He is a fine dedicated teacher. I feel extremely thankful for his effort and knowledge of the subject. When I go to college, I will major in Spanish because of him. Thank you Mr. Richins for not only being a great teacher, but for being my friend. Please consider selecting Mr. Richins as a fine example for all teachers.

Not only is Lloyd Green, Jr. the new president of the Colusa County Chamber of Commerce, but he is quite possibly the youngest chamber president in the state. A young entrepreneur, Green is out to help improve the economic climate of Colusa County and help local businesses to grow with the assistance of the chamber. Green started in the business world early, getting his business license three days after graduating from Pierce High School. He was only 17 years old and already he had a thriving website design business. An Arbuckle native, Green has always been a community activist, donating his time and energy to many local organizations, including board member of the Arbuckle Revitalization Committee, member of the National Webmasters Association, Board Secretary for the Arbuckle Parks and Recreations District, executive committee member of the Arbuckle FFA Ag Technology Field Day, an advocate for the Live-Strong Foundation and he has been a member of the chamber since 2005. Why is he so active? “Our community is unique, and I believe that everyone should be involved and take action on the items they strongly believe in,” Green said. “In many of the committees I am on, I am usually the youngest. This is because I would like to influence my peers to be involved and be a part of a community,” he explained. “Being involved gives me a sense of satisfaction that I am doing something for the good sake of myself, my family, friends, and community.” Green intends to give as much as he can to the chamber and the county. “I hope to bring new items to the chamber, such as additional services and events that will help broaden the chamber’s community activity.” Some of the activities he hopes to see implemented for the chamber include a monthly or quarterly business breakfast, fund raising events, additional mixers and public events, as well as trying to boost the membership roster.. In addition to a powerful membership drive, he would like to see the chamber restart its ambassadors committee that will welcome new business members and explain the benefits of the chamber and the unique community. He also hopes to reach out to the many cultures in Colusa county; especially the Hispanic culture. Currently, Leo
