2A – Daily News – Saturday, June 26, 2010 Community people&events 50 years wedded bliss Relaxed or unrelaxed? Our annual trip to the mountains to Courtesy photo William and Clarice Hendrix of Red Bluff are celebrating 50 years of marriage. The couple was married on June 26, 1960, at the Methodist Church in Sparks, Nev. They honeymooned in Bishop and Northern California Redwoods.They have been spent all 50 years of the marriage in Red Bluff and have three daughters, Laurie and Jay Nelson, Kellie and Joe Froome and Kathy and Rich Selberg, five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Father of the bride is Gus Gustafson of Redding. Sister of the bride is Kathy and Carl Engel of Red Bluff. expedite the yearly cleaning of winter debris from our mountain retreat is both a pleasant and hard working event. Myriads of pine needles, pine cones and tree branches and downed trees appeared with the melting of this winter’s snow. Property owners in the mountain areas are required to clean the debris 100 feet away from all build- ings. The purpose of doing so is to ward off the possibility of fire destroy- ing homes and storage buildings. Son and husband have spent several days, cutting raking, stacking and load- ing several loads of debris the choice is not to burn if the wind is blowing vio- lently. Property clearance will be checked by Forest Service personnel to make sure debris has been removed for the proper number of feet. The Stellar Jays are just showing their presence, while they can be noisy we are always happy to see them SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc.

A very large jack rabbit usually pays a brief visit and the Piney squir- rels and the Chipmunks have yet to make a regular appearance. The hum- ming birds, are not prevalent as the feeders were damaged in the winter storms. A few purple lupines are showing up along the highways and byways and some scattered dogwood is showing bloom. The mountains remain beauti- ful and refreshing in spite of our annu- al toil of cleaning property and dwelling. We are a bit behind but deter- mined to do as much as we can. It doesn’t look like the economic problem is going to solve itself very soon. Every family even families of only one are being affected by the increase in prices on everything. The increase costs coupled with the lack of jobs for those who desperately need them is about as bad as it has been for a number of years. Traveling during the sum- mer may continue to be limited as the price of gas continues to go up. I find myself remember- ing the ration coupons of the 1940’s and the times my grandfather, uncles, mother and dad all stood in line to use their coupons for food. They had tokens for the gas rationing. My mother and grandmother made the family meals, not wasting a single thing in the process. We didn’t have to worry about who would pick up the garbage as we rarely had any. Everything was shared and all of us had something to eat even if it was not a large portion. Waste not, want not was a theme we followed reli- giously even those of us who were chil- dren, born into the edge of the depres- sion and World War II rationing. That sort of self-discipline served us well in later years when money was short. It may be that a lot of us will short- en our summer vacations due to the "Recession" and go to the close moun- tains. We all need renewal every once in a while to regain a balanced life, some may go to the Ocean others of us lean toward the mountains as a way to give our minds permission to rest and read instead of worry and fret. Well now that I have uttered the big "R" word readers deserve a stab at the defi- nition of recession; there is an old joke among economists that states: "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job." The simple differ- ence is that a depression is worse. Carolyn Barber If you are looking for the standard newspaper definition of a recession it is usually stat- ed as a decline in the Gross Domestic product (GDP) for two or more consecutive quarters. Well those powers that be may believe they have to look at the stock market, I say all we have to look at is the rise in groceries and the cost of gas to know that one’s personal budget must be adjusted. Just as I thought, when I return to the valley I am again entertaining trou- bling and serious thoughts and have begun to unrelax. Is there such a word as unrelax? Maybe not but I have always wanted to create a new word so lets see how long it takes for the gener- al public to repeat that they are unre- laxed. Let’s see, if I eat only one meal per day, I can probably fill my little car’s gas tank and make a weekly trip to the mountains in order to recapture my state of relaxation. See you next week.
