The Health Partnership will be discussing new officers for the coming year and continuing their committee work. The Tehama County Health Partnership is a collaborative effort among various organizations and individuals to improve the health and well being of Tehama County residents. Our vision is to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the broader determinants of population health: thus redefining the concept of health to include not only physical and mental health but also education, economy, safety, housing, transportation, recreation and other aspects that influence our quality of life. Protecting and improving the community's health is a shared responsibility among residents, public and private institutions and community organizations and associations. The public is invited to come join the group, which meets at 1 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month, alternating between Red Bluff and Corning.

I glance at an article, absorb a few lines, and then give myself the luxury of letting my mind drift. From this process come ideas for speeches or columns. It's also one way I get ready for my day. From my vantage point, I observe the line of people waiting to purchase pastries, bagels, and of course, their Morning Joe. I am intrigued by the tide of patrons; why are they here? What brought each of them? What do they do? One can immediately tell the vocation of some by their apparel. Health care professionals are adorned in "scrubs."

Marcus Quilters Guild to unveil gift Special to the DN This weekend members of the Sun Country Quilters Guild will unveil a gift to Red Bluff at their bi-ennial quilt show. A group of nine quilt artists have been working on this project for the past year, using a panoramic photograph of the west side of the 600 block of Main Street in historic downtown Red Bluff as their inspiration. Credits for the original panoramic photo go to local photographer, Bob McConnell. Bob shared his photo with fellow photography group friends and the spark was struck for several of the members to enlist others to join in the creative project. The photo was divided into nine equal sections with each quilter drawing to see which buildings they would get to recreate in fiber. Each quilt artist put her own spin on their work as they visually recreated their chosen buildings. Those participating were Mary Perkin (Remax Realty), Marjorie McGraw (Sugar Shack and Sky River Music), Vikki Bettman (Prairie Rose), Patricia Christ (Heartfelts), Fran Galantine (Ehorn's Antiques), Roxi Bradley (End of the Trail), Vivian Roop (Plumb Crazy and Earth Friendly) Natalie Larson (Gayle's and California Kitchen), and Rhonda Courtesy photo Panoramic Quilt Group Members shown left to right: Mary Perkin, Pat Christ, Marjorie McGraw, Vikki Bettman, Rhonda Johnson, Roxi Bradley, Fran Galantine, and Vivian Roop. Missing from photo is Guild President, Natalie Larson Johnson (Norm's Printing, Final Touch, and Village Pottery). The completed project may be seen for the first time on May 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sun Country Quilters' Quilt Show at the Tehama District Fairgrounds in Red Bluff. A second showing on May 19 will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 12 feet wide by 2 feet high display will travel far beyond our city in the months to come.

In this second display, 20 artists participated to recreate three photographs featuring scenes of Upper Klamath Lake, Sprague River Aspens and Mt. Shasta in fabric. Klamath Falls photographer, Jeremy Franklin, gave permission to this group to feature three of his photographs and to recreate "slices" from the original pictures using all kinds of fabrics, paints, inks, yarns, thread painting and special embellishments. In this case the original photographs will be displayed with the quilts, which are collectively known as the "Klamath Basin Vistas."
