Fountain comes from the state of Georgia. – Daily News, Aug. 28, 1920 Coates has been active in many community orga- nizations through the years. She was a 4-H leader when she first arrived in Red Bluff and is a lifetime member of the Art Association, since 1961, winning awards for her paintings in oil, water- color and pastels. Coates and her husband Cliff squared danced with the Swinging Squares and traveled with friends in their motor home. They continued their traveling across the United States for 10 years, having lots of adventures. Four years ago Coates joined the Sun Country Quilt Guild and has creat- ed their posters for the quilt shows the last three years. She joined the His- torical Society and has written articles for the Tehama County Memo- ries book. Coates also enjoys bird watching on Saturdays, her exercise class at the Community Center twice a week and her meetings with the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. Coates has always had a positive attitude about life and people. When asked about her secret for a long, happy, active life she said, "God's been good to me, it's not any- thing I've done. I have two wonderful daughters who help me a lot and many Activities, activities, activities Days fly by fast for those who are busy with many activities. Some indi- viduals have chosen to limit their activities to the amount they can han- dle gracefully. It opens bonus time which means they can deviate from the have to dos in their lives. We all have the same amount of hours in the day and night, how we use them is the question. When deciding what to put on our activity plate, we often wish we had more time or at least the stamina to keep pace. Every evening can be filled with obligations, soccer, T-ball, musical instrument instruction, homework tutoring, and a huge variety of unnamed competitive activities. Many activities are scheduled at a variety of times from right after school through the 5, 6, or 7 p.m. meal times. Activ- ities for families not only take energy for decision making; they eliminate time families have for talking and planning with one another. We are diligent at multi-tasking, and most families are multi-schedul- ing as well. Multi scheduling takes the effort of both parents as each transport one or more children to their activities. One parent ushers the younger chil- dren to early sport activities while the other parent transport the older chil- dren somewhere else. The end of the day leaves families with little or no private family interac- tion. A current book written by Julia Duin, Religion Editor, for The Washington Times, addresses the change in church attendance in the Unit- ed States. Duin cites low attendance at church spon- sored adult and youth gather- ings. Lack of attendance is attributed to the busy schedul- ing of every day activities. People are seeking a sense of community in church affilia- tion; a majority of churches are not meeting this basic need. In a large number of congregations, people may shake hands but rarely exchange names. Attendees drop out of a congrega- tion without even being noticed by the other parishioners. What has happened to change the nurturing atmosphere, is it the overly busy lives we lead? Sun- day school and other Christian Educa- tion meetings are lightly attended by both adults and children. Do compet- ing activities provide a sense of com- munity? Are people deciding that church is no longer needed? Is assessment of family time appro- Carolyn Barber priate? If there is doubt about the use of family time there may be cause to look at our activity budget. Is family bonding and church going, sacrificed to myriads of good but time demanding activities? We must ask ourselves; "is this an important activ- ity in which I should par- ticipate?" If the answer is yes, the benefits gained definitely host a sense of community. Even after our children are grown, we have to con- sider which activity we choose and how much time we dedi- cate to activities. In the words of author, T. D. Jakes; "What good are fame and fortune if our hearts are mired by famine and fatigue? What good is what we capture at the market- place if it doesn’t translate into what we carry back into our place of abode. Progress isn’t progress if it diminishes the place we live and who we really are as a people." Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.She can be contacted by e-mail at hurcar@yahoo.com.
