The Press-Tribune from Roseville, California • 8

A8 Friday. February 4, 1994 THE PRESS-TRIBUNE High School More than sports going on at Lincoln "mm cussed the importance S.A.T.'s and other scholastic exams have in acceptance to universities. I believe this part of the presentation was very valuable because not only did it inform the kids as to what they should be doing to prepare, it also informed the parents so they can nag, nag, nag until their student gets it done. Both presenters summed up their presentations by encouraging parents to get involved in their student's future plans. The parents will now drag their kids into the counseling office to get the applications available and to find out the deadlines from Mrs.

Tofft. She does not do all that searching around for nothing. We cannot afford to ignore these helpful opportunities. Though high school is considered by many as only a stepping stone to the demanding world of college, it is a part of one's schooling that should not be taken lightly. Hi! My name is Shannon Haines and I am the new student reporter for Lincoln High School.

For the next few months I will be reporting on various activities occurring at LHS. You may not know this but Lincoln High is a fun place to be, and we do many other activities besides play sports. This is the reason I volunteered for this position. I believe students, teachers and certain activities deserve recognition for other events unrelated to sports. For example, Financial Aid Night was a wonderful LHS workshop put on by the counselors and their hardowrking secretary, Gayle Tofll.

On Jan. 24 we held our annual Financial Aid Night. The purpose of this workshop was to inform parents and students of the steps it takes to get into college. As eager parents gathered several sheets of paper, including sample college entrance applications, budget graphs, scholarship- offering lists, and crowded into the cafeteria, Gtenn Welz, the junior class counselor, began the presentation. He started offby explaining the many ways a college-bound student with an empty pocket, but a future filled with hopeful dreams of a higher education, is not limited to Sierra College.

His presentation included an explanation of the many grants, scholarships and loans available to college-bound students. He stressed the importance of knowing about what is available and applying before the deadline. In my opinion, these crucial factors are the pathway to a higher education (unless you are one of those stupendously talented sports stars who get their ride for free). This is the part of college most parents are in the dark about. All parents know is that they are broke, and their well-deserving student wants to go to an university.

Well, this part of the presentation definitely shed some light into Battle of the minds Saturday The Oakmont Academic Decathlon will travel to El Dorado High School Saturday to compete against Del Oro in a battle of the minds. Members compete in economics, science, fine arts, math, speech, social science, the interview, language and literature, the essay and the Super Quiz, which the public can view. Nine students will compete. Seniors Christina Greene, Anna Wenzel and junior Kat-rina Loutensock will compete in the Honors level (3.75-4.0 grade point average). In the Scholastic level (3.0-3.74 grade point average) are senior Adam Russell and juniors Tim Sablotny and Mandi Sahl-bach.

Seniors Jeff Duran, Lindsay Ellinger and Jack Wells will compete in the Varsity level (below 3.0). The team met twice a week and, as the competition neared, meetings became more frequent. Members study from a preliminary study guide and have summer reading and studying material. Sharry Colnar is the head adviser, along with Gary Stringfellow. Colnar has advised the team for all eight years of its existence.

Last year Oakmont placed second. "It's a lot harder than it looks," said junior Mandi Sahlbach. "It's a time and mental commitment, but it's worth it in the end." The team is assisted in their Peer counselors help troubled students find their own solutions Peer counseling is an important part of life that happens every day, even if there is no organized program. We, as students, are always looking for advice from our friends, whether it be in the form of "Geez, I really hate that teacher. I wish I knew how to get her to talk to me!" or more formal, such as, "Why, Lisa, I am really having a problem with that teacher.

Do you think you could come with me to talk to her?" No matter how you look at it, peer counseling works, and here at Rocklin High, we try to make it more effective by organizing the situation. Peer counseling is based on the idea that peer counselors do not give people solutions to their problems, but students help their peers find their own solutions. To accomplish this the counselors For the Police digest Shannon Haines Lincoln High many disappointed parents' eyes, and gave them a bright new outlook into their child's college years. Our next presenter, senior class counselor Kris Wyatt, explained the academic classes, grade point average and other activities it takes to be considered college material. Dedication, hard work and three years of Spanish definitely pay off.

Then, she dis tween two friends is that they aren't communicating. We just try to get them in so they can talk it over and really communicate," explained Brandie Gerringer. Brandie, who is a counselor this year, became interested when she heard friends talking about it. "I just want to help other people," she said. Jennifer Ruby went through one of the initial election interview processes in the sixth grade.

She thinks that "Sometimes students don't think even a trusted adult will be able to relate to their problems, and they know that a peer will understand." Another counselor is Robbie Preddy. He is the only boy on the team, but doesn't think that affects his counseling. "I think that the system works very well, and it allows us to help people who are in Department, said the cause of death may never be known although the case continues to be investigated by the Burbank Police Department and the FBI. Smith said the two-year lag in identifying the remains came in part because of the multiple samples of blood needed from family members living on the East Coast to verify the DNA results. Call for help leads to arrests LOOMIS A trio of Sudor Lane residents were arrested Saturday on suspicion of drug violations after one telephoned police to ask for help in an argument.

8. Deal with feelings first. The problems that a peer counselor might encounter range in severity. Usually they are conflicts between two friends, or maybe someone is having difficulty with their parents or a teacher. In these cases the peer counselor receives a request and calls the involved parties into the room where they are able to sit and talk about what has been causing the trouble.

Deputies found 58 marijuana plants, a watering system and climate control devices in the attic. Cote and Plummer were taken into custody on suspicion of cultivating marijuana.

While interviewing another resident in a separate building on the property, deputies found a small canister on the living room table. They believed the contents to be methamphetamine, the spokesman said. A further search of the residence located an assault-style rifle, which investigators say could have been altered to make it fully automatic.

Del Oro faces the old switcheroo' You know, when you're driving down the freeway and you know where you're going, it's not exactly common to have a large hand pick you up and place you on another freeway.

The department received a call from a 30-year-old resident of a home on Coyote Lane in the Lincoln area reporting a roommate was threatening him with several guns and had fired shots at him, according to a department spokesman. Another roommate, a 25-year-old, locked himself in his bedroom and also reported the incident to authorities. Deputies responded to the scene Wednesday evening and surrounded the house with the gunman and the second roommate still inside. The man who had been shot at fled from the house without being injured, the spokesman said.

KING ROAD Real estate agents should clip and save this issue of Street Smarts because is is about the patriarch of real estate in Roseville, Lewis Leroy King, Sr. Mr. King established the first permanent real estate business in town in 1890.

The first recorded real estate transaction of his company was in 1891. It was a land deal where Mr. King purchased property from L.D. Thomas (I don't know what the commission was a in those days). Mr King was originally from San Jose.

His educational back ground was in business, but he was Placer County Drug Task all 6323-3 a man of many talents. One talent was horticulture which was his primary interest when he first came to town. He planted 1 1,000 fruit trees (according to Duke Davis) and cultivated his fields at the same time he ran his real estate business. After Mr. King passed on in 1914, his son, Lewis Leroy King, ran the business until his death in 1953.

After that, local John Piches carried on business under the firm name, Piches-King Insurance. For many, many years real estate as a business was a small operation in town. There weren't enough transaction to support many agents and in the early days, most deals were solidified by a simple hand shake and a person's word. Today there are over 900 agents in Placer County. Those numbers are actually down from the big influx of agents during the "crazy" mid to late 80's when homes were selling as fast as the signs were going up.

Mr. King would be very surprised if he could see the prices of properties and the piles of forms and disclosures that have to be completed during the transfer of Ste. 200 Roseville, DoutlnBlvd. a I 2 a Fowler Lane PL. Coker-Ewing Real Estate 3300 Douglas CA 95661 773-7562.
