2A Daily News – Friday, June 28, 2013 Community people&events Run Drugs Out of Town Run The Tehama County Police Activities League Board of Directors wishes to announce to the community an event that is being planned for Saturday, Oct. 19. The Run Drugs Out of Town Run will be a onemile fun run/walk and 5k race. Start and finish lines will be at the PAL Martial Arts Center for Excellence, 1005 Vista Way, Suite C, next to the Red Bluff Airport. The Run Drugs Out of Town Run first began in 2000 and was organized by Dr. Bill Gallagher in Scottsdale, Ariz. It was presented at the Young Marines Annual Adult Leaders Conference in May in Reno. More than half of the nearly 300 units from across the nation have responded to a Power Point that was sent to them. They are planning an event in their communities. The Run Drugs Out of Town Run is exactly what it means. The message is the most important theme but it will serve as a fundraiser for PAL to help support its free activities offered to the young people in the community. PAL, along with many other youth organizations, including the Young Marines, is about educating youth about the dangers of drugs, under age alcohol use, tobacco, bullying and violence and offering healthy alternatives. There will be an entrance fee of $25 to participate in the one-mile fun run/walk and 5k race. Each participant will receive a T shirt and medal that proclaims, "I'm a winner, I don't do drugs." Businesses that believe in this message and wish to help out should contact PAL to ask where to make a tax deductible donation. For more information, contact PAL either at www.tehamaso.org or call 529-7950 or the local event coordinator at 840-0345. Drug & Alcohol meeting A Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for 12:15-1:15 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the Tehama County Drug and Alcohol Division, 1850 Walnut St., Bldg. G, Red Bluff. Power of imagination Since natural disasters are everywhere and unavoidable, if you had to choose where to live, based solely on the ability to escape the catastrophes prone to that geographic region, where would you choose? Hurricanes do a heck of a lot of damage on a very wide scale, but due to technology, they no Scott longer "sneak" up on us. We know they're coming and prepare. So, one might choose to live on the southern coast of the United States as the odds are pretty good that these monster storms can be avoided. Flooding and wildfires provide less advance notice yet they impact a smaller region, ergo the odds of being affected are lessened; maybe you therefore opt for the upper Midwest or Rockies. What prompted this sullen query was a stand-up comic who concluded that Californians take the prize for scariest place to live — based on the sheer unpredictability of earthquakes. As he pointed out, as lifealtering as a major nor'easter might be, it's not like you're walking down the street on a clear day and suddenly 15 feet of snow get dumped on your noggin. Earthquakes are stealthful; exploding without warning while inflicting the full power of Mother Nature in seconds. As frightening as they are however, I would be terrified to live in "tornado alley," as we recently wit- nessed with horror as the largest tornado in history ripped apart Oklahoma. To study and track these monster whirlwinds, we rely in part on the skills of "storm chasers," (crazy? brave?) men and women who pursue twisters. Of course, with such a dangerous occupation, sometimes "stuff happens." Such was the case truck carrying one Q. when a men was lifted by a of these cyclone and hurled several hundred feet. Amazingly, the driver survived intact. A reporter interviewing this fortunate victim asked him what he was thinking as he was being tossed about like a leaf in a storm. Until that moment, the man was remarkably composed, relaxed, and speaking very matter-of-factly about the experience; relaying what happened. In response to the reporter's simple query, everything transformed. His expression, body language, and demeanor changed immediately. Dropping his gaze from the interviewer to the ground, his shoulders slumped, his breathing changed, he covered his eyes, and he attempted to collect his thoughts. Upon regaining his composure, he chokingly replied "My wife. I was thinking that I might never see her again." And as the words came from his lips, water came from his eyes. His wife was not on camera. As far as I know, she might not even have been in the same state. Yet, she was as near to him in that moment as Marcus these words are to you right now. By merely changing the image in his mind's eye, he was instantly transported to a place far away; as actual to him as the chair on which he sat. This genuine, intimate moment of the human condition was testament to the power of how what we picture shapes who we are. Sure, we can discuss with logical precision until the cows come home our plans, ambitions, and aspirations. We can design spreadsheets and write lists of action items. Yet, too often we remain stagnant in the pursuit of our dreams because we do not "see" nor feel the results of our plans. Yet, one private intimate image elevated from sub consciousness to consciousness generates without delay a full-body, all-consuming reaction. We change. There is no more influential reality than that which we visualize in our mind. It therefore becomes the most powerful trigger for change — or stagnation.

The Corning Union Elementary School District Board Monday approved a bid by Kevin Tedder of Semingson Architects, Inc. out of Cottonwood for architectural fees for permanent relocatable buildings for Woodson Elementary, Superintendent Catherine Reimer said. "The district is in the process of developing a master facilities plan to address the portable buildings that have been in use for about 25 to 30 years, which is well past their intended lifespan," Reimer said. Many of the portables are structurally and environmentally unsafe and most were vacated on the Maywood campus in the 2012-2013 school year, which led the district to work on a master plan at other campuses, she said.
