The campaign includes two videos (one for youth, one for law enforcement/
community members), print materials, and a Web site, www.stopdrugs.org.
Hedrick has also formed a partnership with the California Office of Traffic
Safety and developed a successful media campaign to prevent teen drinking
and driving, including television/radio announcements, youth-targeted
multi-color posters, and other print materials. Tracy's work is focused
on the field of violence prevention policy development and youth crime
prevention strategies. Recently, he was responsible for the California
Attorney General's Youth Council on Violence Prevention and their youth-targeted
products, JUMP (Join Us Make Peace) and the JUMP City CD-ROM. The JUMP
final report is a policy document with sixteen strategies to prevent youth
violence and is complemented by the CD-ROM, a multi-media production distributed
to every California public high school campus library/media center. Tracy
wrote, "The Chico State spirit is prevalent in this office, and that is
probably why management here put us next door to each other!" If Statements
readers are interested in prevention information, they should call Hedrick
and Tracy at the California Attorney General's Crime and Violence Prevention
Center at 916-324-7863 or visit the Web site at http://caag.state.ca.us/cvpc.
ARLENE BRAZIL MOOREHEAD
(B.S., Business, '67) and
JIM MOOREHEAD (B.A., Economics, '67), proprietors of the Joshua
Grindle Inn in Mendocino, have been together since their days at Chico
State. They didn't start out as innkeepers-it is just their latest career.
They are good examples of both dual-career and multiple-career couples.
After graduation, Jim attended U.S. Naval Officer Candidate School in
Newport, Rhode Island, and served in Vietnam aboard the aircraft carrier
USS Enterprise. Arlene's career began with the federal government as a
budget analyst in the Labor Department and later in the Small Business
Administration. Next, Jim got an M.B.A. in 1973 from San Francisco State
and Arlene an M.B.A in 1975 from Golden Gate University. They both worked
for sixteen years at Bechtel, Jim as a personnel specialist and Arlene
as a cost engineer. While most of their assignments were based in San
Francisco, they traveled to project locations around the globe: London,
Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Korea, Canada, Papua New Guinea, and numerous
sites in the U.S. By the mid-eighties the couple decided they were ready
for their next challenge, this time to be entrepreneurial. They settled
on innkeeping and purchased the successful Joshua Grindle Inn in Mendocino.
Now in their tenth year as innkeepers, they value their independence and
credit much of their success to the fundamentals learned at their alma
mater. They celebrate their thirtieth wedding anniversary this year and
look back fondly to where it all started-in an economics class at CSU,
Chico in 1966. You may e-mail the Mooreheads at jim@joshgrin.com.

recognized by the governor of Alaska for his work. Zack told us, "My

travel is our hobby away from home, and hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing
with our German shepherd take up our spare time at home."
