Email: dispatch@redbluffdailynews.com Email: dispatch@redbluffdailynews.com Online FAX: I was a participant in a discussion about loyalty the other day. Someone had suggested that people just don't understand the meaning of loyalty anymore. Many others were of the same mindset, that loyalty is a forgotten element of relationships and is rare, at best, to find. My perspective is that loyalty is only possible when someone has had enough happen in their lifetime for them to value the need. Loyalty can be as foreign a concept to some people as another language. Loyalty can't really be taught, it must be experienced and witnessed and draw people towards it. It is born from adversity, either facing it or watching someone else face it. From either being so in need yourself or knowing you are truly someone else's only connection to hope. I am one of those parents who has tried through the years to shelter my children from as many adversities as I could. I tried to absorb as many of life's blows in exchange for the kids' relative lack of pain. I couldn't shield them from divorce, their poor dating choices or some of the unavoidable teen age angst, but for the most part, I did pretty well at managing the negativity and keeping their esteem intact. What I hoped to accomplish was rock solid kids who didn't have the bumps and bruises I did from my past. What I didn't realize was that what they needed wasn't shelter from life's storms, what they needed was guidance from someone during the children grew that day.

Art through children's eyes The Sacramento River Discovery Center has been offering environmental education to people of all ages and from around the world since it opened the doors in January of 1996. The walls of the SRDC have served as a gallery of local artists' works dealing with nature almost since that beginning. Nature and art are an entwined pair and the SRDC is now spending a portion of every contact and class with youth to encourage them to look creatively at the world around them. This summer at the SRDC, 6- to 12-year-olds learned about different aspects of the world around and beyond themselves. Each day of every week the campers were given an opportunity to use different artistic techniques and mediums to reinforce the lessons being taught. The supplies that were used this summer — and will be used during the school year with the cen- GERBER UNION ELEMENTARY Gerber School is NOW ENROLLING IN ALL GRADES: Kindergarten through 8th!

Peter Gosling Is Dead From Bite Of Snake The bite of a rattlesnake proved to be fatal for Pete Gosling of the Manton district, ditch tender for the Pacific Gas and Electric company. He passed away at the Sisters hospital in Red Bluff Saturday night about 10 o'clock, after suffering intensely from the attack of the venomous snake. — Aug. 27, 1923 Watercolor paints, brushes and paper, white glue for papermache, Crayola products, color pencils and watercolor pencils have been added for use by the students. Sketchbooks, stencils and books showing how to draw birds and other nature topics have been added to the library. Art is used to teach about fire, the solar system, the oceans, dinosaurs, trails and life in Tehama County. The Sacramento River Discovery Center appreciates the financial support. The SRDC also appreciates the support and artistic talents of members of the Red Bluff Art Association, who generously donate their time, in helping to teach youth about different techniques available to artists as they share their vision of the world around them. Their vision and expertise have been appreciated by about 500 students 50 % from four counties since February. The SRDC still has an opportunity to provide additional environmental education, as schools begin their new year.
