Following a special meeting on April 23 mem- bers of Red Bluff Assem- bly #42 Rainbow for Girls, with the assistance and partnership of Vesper Lodge 84, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, joined to- gether to fill 52 duffle bags with stuffed teddy bears, blankets, hygiene items including toothpaste and toothbrush, coloring books and crayons. The duffle bags with their contents will be do- nated for distribution to foster kids in Tehama County. The Red Bluff Rainbow Girls chose this as one of its projects after find- ing out foster children are normally only pro- vided with a black plas- tic bag filled with necessi- ties when entering the fos- ter child program. In fact one of the Rainbow Girls still vividly remembers be- ing handed a black trash bag when she was a fos- ter child. The Red Bluff Rainbow Assembly raised some of the funds to purchase the duffle bags and contents, and the rest of the funds were donated by Vesper Masonic Lodge #84. The International Order of Rainbow for Girls is an organization for girls be- tween the ages of 11 and 20 that teaches leadership, community service and presentation skills while enjoying fun and fellow- ship. Red Bluff Rainbow Girls meet at 7 p.m. on the sec- ond and fourth Tuesdays of each month at the Ma- sonic Hall, at 822 Main St. in Red Bluff. Interested girls are invited to come by and visit. RAINBOWGIRLS Ba gs fi ll ed f or f os te r ch il dr en You and I, we've been together quite some time, right? So, if I let you in on my inner workings, you won't think less of me? I mean, I'm opening myself up to beingvulner- able, okay? Thanks. There's an expression: "Mother Nature batslast."Well,yep,shesure does — and she hits it out of the park. The original plan for this weekend was to drive south for a meeting with one of the companies with whom I work. Alas, the main high- waybetweenhereandthere is smothered with the third inaseriesofmajorrockand mudslides,cuttingofftraffic in both directions, with no estimated time of re-open- ing. It stands to reason that despitethevaliantattempts of Caltrans to hold back the mountain, the road shall remain blocked, locking me in Humboldt unless I wish to add about eight hours of mountaindrivingeachway. For the record, I do not so wish. Welcome to life on the rustic,rocky,rural,redwood coastofnorthernCalifornia. One can assume my em- ployer won't be happy when I pull a "no show" — but I would literally have to move heaven and earth to get there. I'm capable of a great deal; but that's out of my wheel house. Being a people pleaser, I hate letting others down. I know, I know, it's not my fault; after all, it wasn't me whojerkedthehillsidedown onthehighway.It's notlogi- cal;yet,it'swhoIsometimes am, silly or not. The amount of money at risk is not much. It's re- ally noteven a dent inmyfi- nances. That's part of what makes this so embarrass- ing; but when I get caught in that mental loop, my in- ternaldialogbeginsred-lin- ing and, well, let's listen in, shall we? "Ohmy God,I'm goingto get fired. I should have seen this coming. I could have left last week. Better yet, I should have lived closer. Why did we choose to live way the heck up here? We just re-financed the house; howwillwepayforitifthey cut me loose? We'll have to drain our retirement ac- count. I'll be living in a box on the roadside when I'm seventy." My thoughts switch to the long-term picture, "I wonder how long the road will be closed. I have an en- gagementinJuly.HowwillI get there? If I miss that one, it'll ruin my reputation. No one will ever hire me again! What about groceries? How can they get them to us? We'llallstarve.Orgas?Elec- tricity?Societyiscollapsing, run for the hills. Lord, save us,we'realldoomed.Ibetter callmyfamilyandtellthem I love them. The apocalypse is nigh." Exhausting just read- ing that, isn't it? Okay, it's a bit of an exaggeration (but not much); but have you ever found yourself getting a thought in your head that sticks and then heats up; and soon it's at full boil? Of course you have; we all do. It's some sort of mis- guided method of self-pres- ervation.Afterall,ifonecan worry enough to imagine the worst, it might be pre- ventable. Reality is it doesn't help. Webecomefrantic;wecan't think straight. It actually lessens the ability to figure out solutions. OnceIcalmedmyselfand thought things out, I real- ized that right now, right here, it's all good. The gro- cery stores aren't barren. Gas pumps are still pump- ing. There aren't any riots in the street. It's a freakin' mudslideScott;they'vebeen going on forever and the folks who deal with them willfixitwhentheycanand worryingyourselfintoacar- diac event won't do a thing to help. As they say, "Be here now." I do need a new plan for this weekend however. So, instead of getting up early and driving all day, I'm sleeping in; something I rarelydo.ThankGodforthe excuse of a landslip. Funny how things work out.

Vandalism McCoy Road: A mailbox was broken into and mail stolen. Police logs Ernest H. Evans was al- most instantly killed and his wife and sister-in-law, Mrs. Will Evans, were se- riously injured when a northbound Southern Pa- cific train struck their au- tomobile a half a mile north of Richfield about 2 o'clock this afternoon. The party had just left the Ev- ans ranch to come to Chico, where they were to visit an- other brother, Frank Evans, who is ill in the Enloe hos- pital. Now the two women are in surgical wards at the Enloe and Sacramento Val- ley hospitals and the body of Ernest Evans is in the Fetters & Williams morgue here. They were brought to Chico on the train that struck their car. Evans had just passed through the gate from the home ranch along a lane which approaches the track on a steep incline. Will Evans, who was work- ing in the field with Bert, saw the train approaching and shouted to his brother that they were in danger, as the persons in the car did not seem to see the train. Bert Evans said the engine apparently stalled as they reach the tracks at the top of the grade, and the loco- motive struck the tonneau. The two older brother stood transfixed with horror, un- able to avert the accident. They rushed to the wreck expecting, as they said later, to find all of the party dead. They helped the trainmen place the victims on the train and came to Chico with them. — April 28, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
