Setting it straight An article in the Dec. 1 paper about conservation easements in the Red Bank area contained errors. The Northern California Regional Land Trust will not be purchasing the two properties in fee simple title, but rather hopes to hold conservation ease- ments on the properties by the end of the year. The land trust is not a public agency, but a 501(c)(3) non- profit organization. The Daily News regrets the errors. –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper.

Christmas season, now and then By the time readers see this col- umn; December will be the name of the game. Christmas activities will have people rushing around with a long note in hand listing Christmas gifts, Christmas food and dates of Christ- mas activities honoring the birth of Jesus. Our home is presently in the process of removing fall’s thanksgiv- ing décor, pumpkins, wreaths with golden, yellow and brown leaves and replacing each item with the colors green, gold and red for the recogni- tion of Christmas. It is all full and yes quite a bit of work. As we pull out our bountiful col- lection of Christmas décor we recall the many interesting Christmas hap- penings of more than fifty-six mar- ried years. We recall the Christmas’s of years when we ourselves were children. We remember the stories of friends about the meagerness of days gone by during the great depression. One of our dearest of friends who came from a family of many children said how happy the children were if they received only one or two oranges at Christmas to share broth- ers and sisters. We traditionally put an orange on our Christmas tree to remind us of Lewis and the wonder- ful caring he had for his wife, family and friends. In the first year of our marriage we faced our first Christmas with a start as we had a minimal income, we ran a small lawn and garden busi- ness, picked up pop bot- tles, cleaned a local church, babysat for oth- ers, and prepared careful- ly thought out meals. Needless to say we were stretching every penny. We somehow received a small Christmas tree and bought a really small nativity set at Roscoe’s on Walnut Street. We still have the tiny nativity and put it out each year. Thanks to Virgil Frost who owned the Red Bluff Flower shop then located on 516 Walnut Street, he rented us a small house on Madison Street right across from the railroad tracks. The holidays can be trying espe- cially during times of recession, times when many families have little money and minimal jobs. To think of the pressure of these holiday times we must strive to keep as positive and helpful as possible not only to our- selves but to others. I wrote the fol- lowing poem in regard to this holiday season. The Season Christmas is coming, The wallet’s getting thin, Salvation Army’s bells, Sound a ringing din. Credit card companies, Send super checks galore, Santa’s Elves are evident, In each and every store. The season seems to come, Earlier each year, And I become much slow- er, In spreading, Holiday cheer. Carolyn Barber spent Christ’s birth gives us, A yearly chance, to say, That others mean a lot to us, in a very special way. So smile through all the bustle, the hustle and the stress. Smile and greet each other, with your most sincere, God Bless! Thanks to all who share what they have with others, who honor the Christmas season and remember the meaning of Christmas.
