2A Daily News – Friday, July 26, 2013 Community people&events Lessons from a child Fireline safety awareness Shasta College Community Education will be offering an 8-hour Fireline Safety Awareness course Saturday for private "hired equipment vendors" to satisfy CalFire and the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies generic hiring requirements for hired equipment vendors. Any private contractor or person employed by a private contractor who desires to participate in a wildland fire and may be subject to assignment on the fire line must complete this annual training. At times when the equipment needed to control an emergency incident exceeds the resources of CalFire and the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies, the agencies hire the equipment and services of the private sector to supplement its own resources. The intent of this 8-hour course is to provide private "hired equipment vendors" with the minimum training necessary to satisfy CalFire and the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies generic hiring requirements for hired equipment vendors. Class will be held 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 27. Pre-registration is required. For additional course or registration information, visit shastacollege.edu/ewd, click on "Community Education Classes" or call the EWD office at (530) 242-7630 or email EWD@shastacollege.edu. Disaster prep for pets CHICO — North Valley Animal Disaster Group (NVADG) is scheduled to present a safety workshop on Disaster & Emergency Preparedness at TrailBlazer Pet Supply 1-2:30 p.m. Sunday, July 28. This informational workshop will provide the community an opportunity to learn about how they can best protect their pets during an emergency or natural disaster. A donation of $5 to NVADG is suggested. With natural disasters like forest fires threatening the North State every summer, the community is reminded of the importance of being prepared for emergencies. It is not only important for families to prepare for their own safety in case of an emergency or evacuation, but they should also have a kit prepare for their pets. The workshop will give pet owners an opportunity to learn about and create their own Pet Preparedness Kit that could ultimately save a pet's life. All those who attend will get a free pet fire safety decal, which alerts safety personal to rescue your pets in case of an emergency.

Marcus The ripple effect Recently, the Tehama County Museum hosted a celebration of the life of Ruth Britt, who devoted her life in retirement to volunteer work in many venues including the TCM. Attending that event were members of at least eight groups that Ruth had supported over the years with her time, her talent and her resources. A very important organization on that list was the Native Daughters of the Golden West. In memory of Ruth, the Native Daughters presented a gift of $2,000 to the Tehama County Museum. "The Native Daughters have a long history of supporting the Tehama County Museum," said Executive Director Pam Britting. "Ruth was a member of both organizations, and she was an exceptional person both for the volunteer work she did during her lifetime and for the lasting impact she has had on her colleagues and fellow volunteers. We appreciate this very generous gift from the Native Daughters as it is just one example of the ripple effect that a life of volunteer work can have in the community. We at the TCM are having good natured discussions about where that gift can best be used to honor Ruth's work here at the Museum, but it Courtesy photo Representatives of the Tehama County Museum and members of Berendos Parlor #23, Native Daughters of the Golden West recently gathered around the plaque, donated by the group in 1987, which identifies the Museum as being on the National Register of Historic Places. The purpose of the get-together was to discuss the possibilities inherent in a $2,000 memorial donation from the Native Daughters to the TCM.

On her feet were brown clogs. Atop her head was a wool, knitted, patchwork cap of pink, yellow, and red, giving her a pastel "Rastafarian" look. However, instead of dreadlocks wrapped within, a waterfall of blonde, bouncy, curls framed her wide-open blue eyes and light complexion. In her chubby, small, right hand, she carried what used to be a cookie; now, however, all that remained was a half eaten, saliva-covered, dollop of doughy goo with a smattering of pink frosting encrusting the edges. "Cookie" in hand, she bounded as if on springs from one corner of the bakery to the other, her grandfather always in eye shot, as she pointed to each of the items on the bottom shelf of the bakery's glass case, looking to him for the correct word. "Cookie," he said, as she pointed to a green, sprinkle covered cut-out of a dinosaur. She inspected the pastry, decided she was satisfied with his answer, and then proceeded to the next item, pointing her finger at the glass and looking to him for the mot juste. "Donut," he said. "Dunt," she echoed. "Yes, that's right: donut," he replied, smiling and tussling her cap.
