Trials of technology I haven’t tried to type my column while riding in the car while it was traveling down the highway. I believe I think I have an I Pad or is it an i Pod. Technology is in the business of tempting a few of us to try every new item that shows its face. I actually have a Palm pilot that has a keyboard. I wrote many a column, letter, and notes on that precious little tool. Now the i Pods came marching in and I can’t get my Palm Pilot and my computer to continue to partner in making my life easier. Now I have to learn a different, more modern path- way. Technology has taken the upper hand. We used to perk coffee on the stove now we are behind times if we do not have an electric coffee pot with a glass coffee pitcher. The coffee machine has numerous buttons to select the strength of the coffee, the timer to tell the cof- fee when to starting brewing, some such machines produce one cup at time. Oh, for the days when the aroma of coffee came from an old fashioned coffee pot, everybody waited anxious- ly for it to finish. No buttons to push, a metal pot that did not have to be replaced when broken like the modern day glass pot. Technology appears to rule the world these days. Each and every day we hear an advertisement on radio or television admonishing us that we must be up to date with every new tool, a large percentage of the popu- lace will make purchases. They have a try at the newest item only to find out after a few weeks that more companies are presenting their compet- ing tech items. Technology compatibility can be both friend and foe when different tech approaches and equipment are used. For those of us who grew up using portable type- writers and sharp pens it is a great challenge to retrain our mature brains to the newest tech items. We ask our chil- dren and our grandchildren for help. We usually get it as we ask them to teach us slow- ly so that we can retain the abundant information. Yes, computers are a part of tech- nology in this day and age. Studies have been made on children who are often introduced to computers at an early age. For some it has been helpful for others the computer has become more important than an individual. Jane M. Healy, Ph.D. has written sev- eral books on the influence of comput- ers on a child’s mind. Not all children are negatively affected but there are some who are. One of her books, "Failure to Connect," presents infor- mation that can help children and the affect on their minds. The goal seems to be that while we enjoy technology it is important to keep things in perspec- tive. The following observation of computer use was thought out by a nine year old child. It may be an important reminder to those of us who are adults. Carolyn Barber "I do not think that com- puters make you inspired, though it makes you dis- tracted. You get more caught up on what font you should use, how big your title should be, and how big or small your text should be, than what your even going to write about, and how your going to use that stuff." Kiera, age nine, Col- orado As for time at the com- puter today, I will make it short and sweet. The weather report indicates sunshine. It is my plan to do a bit of outdoor walking and gardening as I definite- ly need more vitamin D from said sunshine prediction. I am optimistic that the outdoor weather will not be abrasive and that the sun will shine on my overloaded brain and give it a rest for a while. Oh yes, remember, April showers bring May flowers, you see my brain is already concen- trating on something other than tech- nology. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hurcar@yahoo.com.

These Young Marines traveled to Guam and Iwo Jima with WW II veterans on the Commandant's airplane with the Sergeant Major of Military — Jones Navy Seaman Recruit Amanda L. Jones, a 2009 graduate of Los Molinos High School, Los Molinos, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Jones completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, fire- fighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physi- cal fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Sta- tions". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confi- dence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Sta- tions" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attrib- utes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Hurton was on her way to Iwo Jima but when they touched down on Guam the tsunami hit Japan and couldn’t fly to Iwo Jima as the US military sent all availaible assetts to assist the Japanese government. National Executivbe Director Mike Kessler sent an email out from Guam saying that although the Young Marines and veter- ans were disappointed not to go to Iwo Jima they took it in stride and wanted to do anything they could to assist in the relief efforts. It is believed the Tehama County Young Marines have achieved more nation- al honors and awards than any other unit in the history of the program which start- ed in 1959. Bennett and Hurton and Sierra Bledsoe have traveled to the United Nations in New York to take part as voters in the council that reports on violence against women world-wide.
