No further information was available. — Rich Greene MARY LOU MOORE Mary Lou Moore went to be with Her Lord and Savior Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Mary Lou was first and foremost an Educator. Her 62 years of active teaching included Lincoln Street School, Lassen View Elementary, and Gerber Elementary here in Tehama County. She received her Masters in English as a Second Language and as part of that process taught in Jamaica, Peru, and China. At the age of 60 Mary Lou attended a ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House before heading out as a member of the Peace Corps and the first volunteers into Eastern Europe. She was then hired by the United States Information Agency and taught teachers how to teach English in Hungary, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania. | After 8 years of service she returned to Red Bluff and continued teaching in programs such as E Scholar to help people get their GED's. Health issues required her to step back from teaching just this past July. Mary Lou is survived by her four children and their spouses: Debbie and Pat Wagner, Jeff and Virginia Moore, Rod Moore, Roberta Moore, Jon and Tara Moore. There are eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mom was the spiritual rock of our family. Her steadfast faith even in the midst of great life struggles and challenges was an inspiration and encouragement to each of her children and to all those who knew her. Mom had always said she would go anywhere in the world God sent her as long as He took care of her children. She went and He did. While there is great sadness at losing our mother, we all take great comfort in knowing she is now with Jesus, free of pain, and experiencing the glory of Heaven. A Memorial and Celebration of Life will take place at the First Church of God, Luther and South Jackson Streets, Red Bluff, at l:00 pm on Saturday, November 16th.

The New Clairvaux Vineyards were once owned by Leland Stanford, the university namesake who dreamed of matching France's Bordeaux wines in the late 1880s. Unfortunately, the scorching heat was a disaster for much of the vines. After Stanford died in 1883, the land was sold and exchanged hands several times until it landed in the praying palms of the monks. Beck said it's surprising anyone would live in Vina, much less develop the land as a vineyard. Apparently the 250 residents live there because there aren't any vacancies on the surface of the sun. "It's dusty and hot," Beck said, often driving into 105 to 108 degrees during his documentary trips. The "why someone would want to be a monk" was the almighty question, said Beck, who has apparently done a lot of jackknifes into the pagan pool. "I can't remember the last time I went to church. I'm not very religious," he said, grateful it wasn't one of the requirements for filming the monks. "They never asked me if ANIMAL Continued from page 1A She pled no contest and was given 3 years' probation, fines and was not to possess or care for any animals.

In both cases she was convicted on pleas of guilty and entered a work program. — Rich Greene is to end homelessness in this county in the next 10 years.

Collins said he agreed that independent exhibitors shouldn't be turned away, and that time considerations do come into play, but added that there "has to be some criteria." Pete Dagorret, vice president of the fair board, said if an exhibitor isn't eligible to show as part of one organization, he or she shouldn't be able to show at all. "If you don't have a 2.0 (GPA), I don't think you should be out there ... doing anything," said Dagorret, adding that those students should instead be hitting the books. Board member Andrew Meredith said the directors weren't aware that a com- mittee had earlier been formed to discuss the issue, but said the board shouldn't mandate grade requirements for independent exhibitors. "I don't want us to get into a situation where we have any liability over preventing somebody from showing," Meredith said, adding that this case was a parenting issue. I believed in God," said Beck. The film maker knew the stigma of monks — completely silent in their brown robes, eschewing all the trappings of materialism. Endless prayer. "These guys used to be like that," Beck said. But hey, it is 2013. The monks dumped their medieval underwear a few years ago, adopting a more comfortable undergarment with consideration of the heat. And their robes are white. And, though there are seven prayer breaks, they have lives. As one monk emphasized in the film, "We're humans." "These guys are riding around on recumbent bikes they made and they're throwing baseballs around," Beck said. "And they have a sense of humor." Still, it took almost a month before Beck was — if not "one of the monks" — then at least welcomed. "Like any documentary you do, they (the subjects) have to warm up to you," Beck said. "You're shoving a camera in their face." Still, with a handheld small camera, "I shoot pretty low-key so it's not that invasive," Beck said. As with most documentaries, it's giving the public something they don't normally experience. "You're trying to pick people up and take them places where they wouldn't get to go," said Beck, who initially pondered "why someone would give away his worldly possessions and take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience." "Not being a super-religious person, I came in from this with an outsider's perspective," Beck said. The narration is a major aspect of the documentary and Beck was happy with Tim Bays, someone he landed from scouring the Internet after the initial voice actor came up short. "The first guy was a preacher who had a good voice, but it was 'super radio' sounding," Beck said. "I found this other guy (Bays) from Tennessee, but he didn't have a southern accident." Most impressive of the entire project was the monks' devotion, Beck said. Praying seven times a day is standard. "One of the first times I filmed them, they invited me at 3:30 in the morning," Beck said, laughing that he arises at that hour "never." Still, he attended the prayer session during those wee hours. "I thought, 'What the hell am I doing here?'" Beck said. Though no monk appeared to have a cell phone, Beck suspects one had Internet access "because he always knew about football scores." "The Monks of Vina" screens at the Napa Valley Film Festival at 2 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. Sunday. "Not exactly the red carpet treatment, but I'm good about it," Beck said. And so is Marc Lhormer, festival cofounder, calling Beck's film a "novel take on wine making and winery locations. Beautifully made and told, a skillful blend of human interest and wine content." Though Beck said family and friends will be at the Napa premiere, he doesn't expect any monks to travel the roughly seven hours from Vina to Napa county. He will, he said, screen the film at the monastery. "I think they're excited about the project," Beck said. "I think what they're doing is unique." There was some mild disappointment during his seemingly endless trips to Vina. "I wanted to see monks in bathing suits or playing volleyball," Beck said.

THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column of January 1943) Evidently no ceiling prices on Christmas trees in the city this year as small ones sold for $3.50 to $6.00 each. *** I like Russ Morgan's new song, "Think of Me When You Are Lonely", which reminds me that a friend of ours, singer/dancer Gladys Kane spent one day last week helping wounded soldiers at the Oak Knoll Hospital in Oakland. She says if those people who do not want to work more than 40 hours a week and do not feel they should buy war bonds could see these boys with missing eyes and limbs and realize that perhaps part of their suffering was a lack of fighting equipment, it would make them understand their contribution to the war effort is greatly needed. *** With all the new mechanical gadgets on the market this Christmas, I still couldn't find one that would enable me to cut my own hair or fill my own teeth. *** Women in bright blue uniforms are now replacing men in the toll booths around the bay area, and Armours, the big beef packer, now has several women working on their kill floors. *** The 365 Club in San Francisco which started out as a little bootleg joint back in the days of prohibition and grew to be one of the most successful might clubs on the coast had to close for several days because of the disastrous Boston Night Club fire. The reason for the closing was that customers refused to come to the club until the entrance was enlarged and additional elevators and fire escapes were added. Now the club is back to capacity and can accommodate from 500 to 1000 customers. Whereas formerly it would have taken hours to vacate the place it can now be done in a few minutes. *** San Jose Mercury News has a large front page editorial asking why we need so many millions of soldiers sent to Europe. It goes on to say that China has more prospective soldiers than Japan can ever hope to assemble, and Russia and England have more than Germany. So why don't we do as originally planned and keep our men here and manufacture all the war material possible and ship it to our allies?

We could name many below average students who had accomplished great success in life, but very few of the straight A students had done likewise. We finally concluded that the only thing necessary to earn top grades was the ability to memorize, which was of little value as most of the problems we face in life have to be resolved by applying common sense and the ability to solve each different barrier as it appears.
