The dictionary defines the word as follows; "a state or quality of being vigilant; watchfulness' keenly watchful to detect danger; wary; ever awake and alert," We live in a world where being watchful has become a necessity. Gone are the days when we leave the doors to our cars or our homes unlocked. Gone are the days when we were sure our children were safe everywhere. Yes, there were always thieves and abductors and any number of other varieties of criminal activities going on. The difference I believe may be that nearly everyone is more mobile in this day and age. I recall feeling comfortable with my children walking a fair distance to the store on their own. I am not sure I would be as trusting today. We can still look after each other and watch out for other people's children as well as our own. It may just take a village to protect our children. Rural areas were thought to be safer than urban areas, now it is not unusual to hear of aberrant criminal activity anywhere. Parents are particularly worried about child abduction. Kathy L. Reschke, Phd., Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Science, at Ohio State University have several tips on keeping children safe from strangers. Reschke says that even though we hear media accounts of child abduction, such abduction is very small. There are many other safety risks which are more frequent. There are approximately 2,000 children (under age 18) reported missing each day. The large majority of these cases are resolved within hours of being reported.

Barber Charity rummage sale The Red Bluff Kiwanis club is holding a "Sizzling Summer Garage Sale" to benefit local kids going to summer camp. Items are being collected from more than 50 families for the sale set for 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 3 at 515 Sycamore St. "There is already a large amount of items, and we are expecting more until the night before the sale," said Kiwanis President Donna Ross. "Everyone has gathered good used items and donated them so that we can help kids get to camp this summer." Items include a paint sprayer, sound equipment, furniture, tools, toys and a host of other items. Most of the items have been donated directly by club members. The club required that the items not be broken or unusable. Ross said it was typical to have some dust on items at a garage sale, but that every effort has been made to have good quality items. The location for the event is at Moule's Tehama County Glass, which has donated its warehouse for the sale. Gary Napier, one of the organizers said, "It takes a lot to get these kids to camp, and this is a way folks can step up and help. I've seen other clubs do well with this kind of sale, and we hope to do that here." Ross said the doors will not open until 7 a.m., so no early-birds. "This is going to be a huge sale, and we expect tons of people," Ross said. "I just want to thank everyone in advance for helping support our kids camp." The Red Bluff Kiwanis is an organization of 80 members whose goal is serving and promoting local children.
