2A – Daily News – Wednesday, February 2, 2011 Community people&events Bedford celebrated Avery Vilche, You Matter I have known Avery Vilche since we were small children rid- ing the bus to Lassen View school. I have worked with Avery as an adult in many capacities. I could pick many reasons to share with you why she matters and I know that many people in the communi- ty can attest to them all. The one element of Avery Vilche’s person- ality that I want to share with you is her amazing capacity to accept and encourage anyone. Avery and I have been involved Courtesy photo John Bedford was born Jan. 19, 1919 on a ranch in Paskenta. Around 180 family members and friends joined John Bedford of Paskenta to celebrate his 92nd birthday Jan. 22 at the Paskenta Community Hall. Some guests came from a far away as Portland, Ore. Others included his daughter Jeanie Lowe of Orland, niece Martha Ellis of Willows, granddaughter Rhonda Bedford of Redding, great-grandson Les Puckett of Redding, great-grandson Clint Standridge of Corning, great-grandson Jared Standridge of Redding and great- great-granddaughter Jordan Puckett of Redding. His wife of 63 years, Phyllis Bedford, was unable to be there, but many attending recalled memories about them, his way of life and his love and knowledge of Paskenta. Live music, a potluck, a two-step dance with grand- daughter Rhonda and a special tribute by Connie McCoy to him — for his interest in the history of Tehama County, particularly the Paskenta and Flournoy area — lent to the festive occasion. Setting it straight In Monday’s article “Sale Wrap,” the Calf Dress- ing competition only had one team with a pink feather boa, Express Employment Professionals. The Express team had the pink feather boa on the calf and the calf to the circle, but the calf pulled the team out. Durango RV’s team got into the circle and won the competition. Also, the team of Tommi Hammons of the Corning FFA Invitational Calf Scramble, won first place in that competition.

One thing that is consis- tent about her is her genuine inter- est in others and her unending selflessness. Avery is one of the most self-assured women I know. She dresses how she wants, expressing her uniqueness and confidence. She is a no-nonsense woman who can humble you with words or, if need be, through her mere presence inside the ring. Avery has had a career as unique and colorful as she is. She writes a column, fights in cages, participates in the Eskimo Olympics and gives her time con- tinuously for local children and disabled people. I am oftentimes in awe of her. Just like you and I, Avery struggles. She has issues that plague her just like us. One of which I know is a desire to write a book and a seemingly large mental block that prevents it from hap- pening. Recently, Avery has been helping a local teen find himself through her twice-weekly MMA style training class. Avery has shown her outstanding character as she helps yet another local youth find his inner power through learning alternatives to violence. Sounds crazy, the class is about fighting, but the message is about self-control. Once again, I find myself in awe. I see her, sweaty and tired from working an 8-5 and barely having time to get to this class and yet, there she is impact- ing someone else’s child. Helping someone change. Making an hon- est difference in their life. Avery, You matter because you are a leader in this community and you are so humble and so selfless that it never occurs to you the magnitude of your impact on oth- ers. Your humble approach to why you do what you do is a lesson to all people who give of themselves. You are the example of walk soft- ly and pack a big punch. Avery, You matter because you embrace everyone from every walk of life. You meet people where they are and you challenge them to be more, do more and have more. You encour- age with your words and you dig deep to show people the way. You walk the walk. Faydra Rector You Matter Being of service to others is as good for the soul as exercise is to the body. The best gift you can give yourself is to do something for some- one else. In every aspect of Avery’s career and personal values, she gives and gives and gives. When I think of Avery, I think of three things, her love of her heritage, the color purple and her selfless acceptance of people. Be like Avery, be accepting, be a mentor, be a support and be a war- rior. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
