  • ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996
    ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996 Region 1 Monica Sanchez Red Bluff High, Red Bluff Union HSD Intelligent and sensitive, Monica Sanchez is a natural leader. Two years ago, she used her leadership skills to recruit and mold members of a local female gang. In the last year as a peer counselor and advisor, she used her influence to positively affect other girls, helping them to stay in school and out of trouble. Monica, a 1996 graduate of Red Bluff High School, is ACSA’s Every Student Succeeding Recognition program winner for Region 1. The program commends students for overcoming extraordinary odds to succeed in school and recognizes the educators who helped them. Monica’s support team included Red Bluff High principal Joe Pelanconi, associate principals Rick Prestwood and Bob Bryson, high school counselor Jose “Pep” Roa and Chico State University’s talent search counselor Doyle Lowry. At the beginning of high school, Monica was involved with a local Red Bluff gang whose members were in constant contact and conflict with young women from nearby Corning. Monica had no use for school. A community effort involving parents, law enforcement officers, probation officials and school staff helped Monica to change. The officials met with parents to help them understand gangs and convince them of the need to work together to help their children. And they met with students involved with gangs or at risk for joining them to show them positive alternatives. Red Bluff High staff, including Pelanconi, Prestwood, Bryson and Roa, met with Monica to discuss the need for her to make difference choices and to explain the consequences of her behavior.

  • September 2019 Enewsletter
    ​ ​ ​ "Walking in Faith, Working for Justice" The new school year is well underway and students, faculty, and staff are beginning to settle into a regular school routine. Throughout the Salesian world-wide family, three days (or triduum) are traditionally set aside at the beginning of each school year to focus on our identity as a Salesian school. We will set aside September 11-13 for these three days of reflection and celebration. During these three days, we will have opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, our annual Faith Family picnic, and our first all-school Mass. Each year, as part of our Salesian triduum, we also reflect on a message sent to us from the Rector Major - the leader of the Salesians throughout the world and successor of St. John Bosco. In this annual message or strenna, the Rector Major encourages us to grow in our calling as a Catholic school, following the example of Don Bosco. This year, the Rector Major's strenna centers on the core of our Salesian identity, namely, to form young people who are honest and upright, grounded in faith, and responsible members of their communities. Our theme for the year, based on the strenna, is "Walking in Faith, Working for Justice." This theme reminds us that each day we are called to ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to our faith. How can we treat another person with dignity and respect that they deserve as a beloved child of God? We are also called to be agents of justice in our world. How do we reach out and help those in need; how do we welcome the stranger in our midst; how do we build up our communities where all are treated with dignity, respect, and with justice? These questions encourage us to live this new year together with an awareness of the bigger picture in life.

  • Cycle 6 Ideas for Public.Xlsx
    Cycle 6 Idea Theme Keywords PB ‐ 1113 I propose creating waivers or financial aid stipends for homeowners for the repair of neighborhood City Infrastructure accessibility walking, stroller, wheelchair accessible sidewalks (or lack thereof) where tree roots or old growth have either severely damaged or impeded the safe walking/rollingsidewalks of high foot traffic neighborhoods. Daily, I see dozens of people (myself and family members included) weave backand forth, on and off of streets to the sidewalk or lack thereof sidewalks to walk dogs (many elderly pet owners), take children in strollers, and exerciseall over the greater neighborhood in Fairmont Gardens area. This is a tremendous safety hazard for pedestrians dodging cars zipping around corners or down hills and a costly fix for homeowners who are burdened with both the tree maintenance/removal of hazardous growth and the permitting fees/concrete pouring of sidewalk repair. I have seen elderly people trip on severely broken sidewalks, children fall/slide on non‐ existent sidewalk paths in front of homes, parents with babies in strollers have to walk down the street, straddling the edge of parked cars and oncoming traffic. The trees are a beautiful trademark of the area and create welcome shade on sunny days, but several‐decade‐old‐growth trees create a multi‐faceted problem for walkers, strollers, rollers, riders, runners, handicapped, disabledpedestrians and homeowners alike. Newer homeowners often inherit these problematic properties with no aid to remedy the situation and longtime or elderly homeowners may find themselves unable to make costly repairs at this stage in their lives. This would greatly improve the safety of pedestrians, especially those walking for the health of themselves, their pets, their children, an aging family member, as well as the aesthetically cleaner, neater sidewalks, especially where there are none.

  • Sport and Recreation Among Chinese American Communities of the Pacific Coast from Time of Arrival to the “Quiet Decade” of the 1950S
    Sport and Recreation Among Chinese American Communities of the Pacific Coast From Time of Arrival to the “Quiet Decade” of the 1950s Roberta J. Park DEPARTMENT OF INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY Scarcely a decade ago historian Roger Daniels observed that except for San Francisco and New York, little had been written about the Chinatowns in the United States.1 Since then the number of books and monographs in which Asian American and Asian Canadian experiences have been examined has grown rapidly.2 Whereas earlier writings tended to emphasize the intense discrimination that confronted these communities, as Daniels points out: “When one examines the positive aspects of Asian American history—that is, what these people did rather than what was done to them—other instructive patterns emerge.”3 Sylvia Sun Minnick’s Samfow: The San Joaquin Chinese Legacy is among the more recent works that provide a multidimensional view of people who “lived full lives.”4 Some of these more recent histories make passing reference to sport, recreation, and active pastimes. However, until Susan Zieff’s article appeared in the Spring 2000 issue of the Journal of Sport History, only Joel S. Franks’s recently published “Chinese Americans and American Sport, 1880-1940” (the focus of which is male participation and “the ‘ma- jor’ sports”) and the Chinese Historical Society of America’s Celebration of Roots: Chinese Americans in Sports (which includes general text and many photographs of individuals and groups who took great pride in their athletic accomplishments) had been explicitly con- cerned with this topic.5 More needs to be said about such participation from the “time of arrival” to “the quiet decade” of the 1950s.6 Fall 2000 445 JOURNAL OF SPORT HISTORY Gum San Dai Foo: Great City on the Golden Hill In 1846, the somnambulant settlement of Yerba Buena (soon to be renamed San Fran- cisco) consisted of fewer than one hundred inauspicious wooden structures and some five hundred inhabitants.
