If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. I have often wondered about the foreign exchange programs and what a stressor it would be for a parent worrying about the people who were caring for their child. I mean, what if you got a call from your child an ocean away telling you that their host family was not all they hoped for? Too much stress for this momma. Additionally, what if the reverse were true. What if the student wasn't a good match for your family. Dissimilar interests, expectations and cultural barriers could make an opportunity of a life- time seem like a punishment. Luckily for some students travel- ing to Red Bluff for their senior year of high school, they do not have to worry; the Howard's are here to see to it that they have the quintessential exchange experience. Leading the way is Traci, a mother- to-all woman who knows no strangers. Traci extends her home, her family and her many talents to transplanted Spartans every year. One only needs to look on her Facebook to know that Traci spends a considerable amount of time and energy to make visiting Northern California worth the trip. Beginning with a welcome party, tours of all the local sites throughout the year, participation in every senior year milestone and a yearlong picto-mentary to commemorate the trip. She has even hosted the kids' families when they come to find out what all the Red Bluff hoopla is about. We all know that there is no party like a Red Bluff party, cuz the Red Bluff party don’t stop! (ooops, a digression to my Jr. Spar- tan cheer days) Traci, you matter because you provide an amazing experience for any exchange student who is blessed to cross your fami- ly’s threshold. You matter because you are an ambassador for Red Bluff High School, Red Bluff the town and the north state. You matter because though your own children are growing, you keep your nest far from empty making it available to other people's children. Traci, you matter because fami- lies an ocean or more away can feel safe and secure because you are taking care of their most prized possessions as if they were your own. You matter because you live a life of service and you giggle and Faydra Rector Life Coach support and cook and host and share the joy with anyone you meet. You are an example to others of how to be self- less and giving. The kids who come here not knowing what to expect, leave here with a wealth of love, friendships, experiences, and memo- ries that will last them a life time. You do that for them. You make the dif- ference in their senior year. You enrich the local kids by opening your home and promoting friendships. Thank you for being a model to everyone who considers hosting a child. Thank you for being so self- less and amazing. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.

Troop 5 is one of oldest on the West Coast. Troop 5 was started between 1914-1915 by a group in Corning. This was the fifth troop started in Region 12, which included the 12 western states. During World War I, the Troop folded due to an absence of leadership. In 1922, Robert Hedge- speth at the Methodist Church took over as Scoutmaster when the troop was reactivated and re-chartered. Ernest Peter- son who passed away recently, was the last orig- inal surviving member. Troop 5 has been going Scoutmaster, as his sons were members at Troop 5 and both made Eagle Scout. since April 1922. In 1927, the troop merged with Troop 8 and in the early 1930s Troop 9 was con- solidated with Troop 5. Jules Nathan was the Scoutmaster for Troop 9 and became an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 5. During World War II, Troop 5 helped with the war effort in the Corning area by helping with gar- dens, scrap metal, rubber and paper drives. Following the war, Al Burling and Dave Hughes took over the troop, which was meeting at that time in the war time housing project on Tehama Street. When those buildings were torn down the troop moved to the Presbyterian Church on Fourth Street, which had a gymnasium. The Corning Rotary Club started as the troop spon- sor in the late 1940s. The early 1950s brought Dr. John F. Winslow as Assistant Ross M. Turner became Scoutmaster of the troop in 1964 and still is the Troop Leader today. The troop move to the City Hall basement in 1969 and then in 2006 moved to the West Street School cafeteria. Troop 5 is one of the oldest troops on the West Coast and has worked with more than 2,500 boys being members and more than 150 young men earn- ing the Eagle Scout Award. Two of the most recent Eagle awardees have gone to West Point. Many of the people of Corning are past members of Troop 5.
