Have you ever been affected by random acts of hatred or even well plotted acts of meanness? Ever been bul- lied? Have you ever been the brunt of someone’s jokes, fists or emo- tional insults? Have you ever noticed that the people who dish out the most pain are they themselves in pain?

The Area II Board of Delta Kappa Gamma recently voted to distribute surplus funds raised in area events to each chapter involved. Awards of $50 were to be given to a teacher in their chapter to be used to augment their classroom supplies or special needs Beta Lambda awarded their gift to President Teresa Rodriguez, English as a Second Lan- guage coordinator at Richfield Elementary School, who has her own classroom for the first time after sharing crowded spaces for many years. She was surprised and happy to receive this special gift of encouragement. Setting it straight The article "Union, ex-employee question county contracts," Monday contained errors. Bill Goodwin’s salary figures presented to the Board of Supervisors counted the sale back of 60 hours paid time off per year after five years of employment. Of the three contracts discussed at the meeting, Goodwin is the only one eligi- ble. If the time is not sold back, the 60 hours become part of the balance of paid time off paid to the employee upon termination. The contract allows for 32 hours per year in management leave that must be used that year, and one additional floating holiday of 8 hours per year. There was an error in Tuesday’s front page story “Corning Council to swear in Linnet.” The council was considering Melodie Poisson for the Planning Commis- sion.

Happy people are far too busy being happy to be hateful. There is some- thing malignant about pain. Happi- ness can stand on its own. Happi- ness can rejoice with you privately, it doesn’t need to spread out to oth- ers in an attempt even the emotion- al playing field; pain does. Hurting people, hurt people. If you receive someone’s anger for no apparent reason, it is less about you and more about them. There is just something about hurt that manifests itself in horrible ways through oth- ers. The fact is that most people who hurt others rarely know that they are actually passing on the pain that is inside them. Their feel- ings of guilt, inadequacy, shame, loss, anger, jealousy and resentment torment their inner thoughts and affect their judgment and actions. The relentless thoughts about why their life isn’t fair, how they were wronged by someone or how they were victimized justify their anger and they feel that their actions are warranted when they snipe at oth- ers. The truth is they may have every reason to be angry about their circumstances, but they don’t have the right to act like a brute to every- one around them; they just don’t know it or they just don’t expect much else out of life.

I’lI bet if you look you will see that they have some gnaw- ing element in their life that causes them pain. We all think that people who hurt others have a look about them that is easily identifiable. The truth is some of the most broken people have jobs of importance, influence and status and can make decisions about you and your life And though they are qualified to do their job, they are driven by motives deeply seated in their psyche that they do not realize. They have thoughts, feelings and take actions based on their personal journey through life. Hopefully, everyone takes measures to make certain they Faydra Rector You Matter If you are being hurt by someone, realize that they carry the hurt inside them- selves that is manifesting in your reality. If they are unwilling or unable to identify their own pain, they certainly will have no capacity to appreciate yours. They actually will appreciate that you share in the same feeling. Is this any way for you to live? If you find that you are hurting others often, seem to be at odds with others a lot or people just don’t seem to understand you, con- sider exploring what may be dri- ving your thoughts feelings and actions and see if you are a hurting person.

Of the 15 total who applied, the committee is more than happy to report that the top three girls and top three boys were all judged in the top twelve in the north district of the state. The six winning applications will be routed on to the state competition in Fresno. “This is pretty amazing, in that there were dozens of incredible applications from all over the north state!,” said Randy Rupe, local scholarship chairman. The applications are in competition for $6,000 a year "full ride" four year scholarships, and many lesser amounts from the B.P.O. of Elks. The winners at the local lodge will receive $100 for first place, $75 for second, and $50 for the third place applications. The top three girls and boys are as follows: Girls Camille Crowley, first; Ashiah Scharaga, second; Megan Brunello, third. Boys Jared Brown, first; Zakry Stroing, second; Zachary Brown, third.
