The king has been touring Northern California on a motorcycle along with family and friends. His entourage was reported to have visited Jamestown in Sonora County on Saturday. As he has at other stops, King Abdullah rode into Oroville among aboard a Harley-Davidson. California Highway Patrol spokesman Doug Garrett confirmed the visit Tuesday and that the king’s group is being escorted throughout the tour by CHP officers from Sacramento. He said it isn’t uncommon for heads of state outside the United States to be assigned additional security. “I think the guy just wanted to take a leisurely stroll through the Northern California mountainside,” he said. Apparently, King Abdullah II planned the trip to Oroville, at least partly, to dine at a restaurant over- looking the lake, according to comments by Zella Davis, general manager of Lake View Restaurant of Lake Oroville Golf and Event Center. The restaurant was the king’s primary destination. Davis said in a phone interview Tuesday she was first approached about six weeks ago by three men who came in to the restaurant “wanting to have a party for friends” on a Monday. The restaurant is normally closed Mondays. The men told her there would be about 40 people, and Davis said she’d see what she could do. At the time, the men wouldn’t say who the guest was. Two weeks ago the men returned, ate lunch and tightened plans for the king’s visit, still not identifying him. About 12:30 p.m. Monday, about 15 U.S. Secret Service agents arrived at the restaurant and did a sweep before the mystery guest’s arrival. Davis said she told the agents they could do what they want to do, “but you have to tell me who is com- ing.” “They said it was the King of Jordan,” said Davis, with excitement oozing through her voice. “That’s enough to tweak your day! It was such a fun and excit- ing time. We were going to be cooking for the King. I mean, come on!” King Abdullah II and the Crown Prince both arrived on motorcycles. Davis said there were about a dozen other members of family and friends also on motorcy- cles. In addition, the entourage included a truck loaded with spare bikes, a mechanic and medical staff. Davis said she learned the king is on vacation, did a Google search of lakes and found Lake View Restau- rant. “He wanted to dine at a restaurant that overlooks the lake,” she said. The king motorcycled to Oroville from Lake Tahoe and arrived about 1 p.m., she said. Although she had planned a menu of New York steak, country fries and Chicken Piccata, the main guest asked if he could have something else. “He wanted nachos, onion rings and a grilled turkey sandwich,” Davis said. The change may have rattled some people, but Davis said it was easy. “It’s amazing how quick you can get things ready when it’s going to serve the king,” she said. A sudden flurry of activity started when the King Abdullah II finished eating and stood up to leave. Then it was over. “It was fast, furious, bold and amazingly fun,” Davis remembered. “Now we can have this new thing, ‘we’re fit for a king.’” Barbara Arrigoni is a reporter with the Oroville Mercury-Register.

Jackson St., Red Bluff First Church of God Getting back to work again "I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go." You never thought you'd hear those words, but suddenly you find yourself without a job. You're the lat- est victim of the economic recession. It seems like the end of the world. What you want most is someone to sympa- thize and validate the raw deal you've been handed, the injustice served to you at the hand of your employer. You are not alone. Millions of people have been laid off in the past, and millions will face unemployment in the future. Believe it or not, many people right around you understand exactly what you're going through. Immediately after a layoff, most people feel some combination of anger, embarrassment, guilt, fear, isolation and despair. It's not surpris- ing. But after a job loss, you'll be in a stronger position if you act according to your principles, not your feelings. If you allow your emotions to take control, you probably will spend your days paralyzed by depression. You have the ability to take con- trol of your attitude and action plan. You can do whatever is necessary to become employed once again, pro- vided you do not give in to negative thoughts and destructive attitudes. So where do you start? Everyone should have a plan of action in case of a layoff: 1) Make a written plan. Seeing your strategy in writ- ing will help you focus your thoughts and formu- late your dreams. 2) Know your rights. Even if you've been fired, take time to find out your rights. There may be com- pany provisions to which you are entitled. Sign up for unemployment bene- fits right away if you qual- ify. 3) Develop a coping plan. Live by a schedule as rigid as you did while you were employed. Get up at the same time every morning, and work as diligently at finding employment as you did doing your old job. 4) Make the money last. You may be tempted to use your severance pay, your savings or other lump sums of cash to pay off debts or splurge on a trip to make yourself feel better. Don't do it. You don't know how long the money you have Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate will have to last. 5) Pursue new opportunities. You may look back and see your notice of layoff as the pivotal point that allowed you to combine your life's passions with your employ- ment. A new freedom has been thrust upon you. This may allow you to change course and do what you might never have thought possible. 6) Have faith. There's no doubt you eventually will find the employer who is looking for you. In the meantime, don't lose your sense of humor. Don't ever doubt your worth, abilities and skills. And don't ever give up. I can't wait to hear about the next chapter in your life.
