COURTESY Major Kit Wetter of the Red Bluff Salvation Army and Teddy White, Corps assistant, provide a client with food and supplies during a recent Family Service distribution. Since the closing of Hands of Hope, the Salvation Army has experienced a 34-percent increase in the number of clients serve, which has caused a strain on its pantry. Family Services Schedule of days and hours are 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays. The Army appreci- ates the continued support received from the community. SALVATIONARMY NEEDINCREASES SINCE CLOSURE I'vejustre- turned home from an amazing leader- ship experience. I spent last week in the Lake Geneva area of Wiscon- sin changing things that weren't work- ing in my life. Part of the transition was listening to things that people, whom I just met, perceived about me. How, based on the lim- ited information I shared about myself, the way I en- gaged or disengaged and the words and actions I used, people formed stories in their heads about who I am and what my faults and weaknesses were. Each of us was to draw two conclusions about the other people — negative conclusions at that — and when it was our turn to re- ceive the information, we sat in the center of a cir- cle and someone looked us in the eye and told us what they make up about us. For each of us, that was 16 pieces of negative feedback received and even more dished out. Not one person in the room was happy. It took pulling teeth to even write down two negative things about so many people. We are all conditioned to with- hold hard truths from one another in an effort to be kind, not upset the apple cart or not be offensive. The result is people walk around in their stuff and others collude with them to keep their crazy hang- ing out. Initially, everyone of us was kind of pissed we had to go through with dishing out and receiving tough truths. Until the next day. Somehow, once we let our ego's tantrum and get passed being throat punched, we realized two things — people were often right in their perceptions and many of the things we said about others, were traits we held in ourselves that needed checking. Things changed after that. We changed after that. There was no more hiding. No more crap be- tween us and getting real and healing and grow- ing. This group of men and women who really only had one thing in common, the desire to cut the crap out of their lives, were bonded by truth's that didn't make anyone walk away. Our crazy was out there, our ugly untucked and no one was saying they didn't want to know us anymore. We re- alized if this group could see it, so could everyone else, It just went unspo- ken. Tough truth's are super hard to hear and even harder to say, but will change the world. Telling someone what you make up about them can set them free and can break the co- dependent chains that bind you. Real life doesn't offer a protective cocoon to safely deliver tough information. Not everyone can travel to a retreat to heal them- selves, but they really don't have to. Those who are healthiest in telling and re- ceiving a tough truth have infinitely better relation- ships and more satisfaction in life. That is a powerful trade off. Often times we can't see the forest for the trees and hearing and accepting the things about how I oper- ate and protect myself lib- erates me to shed what is incongruent with who I want to be. That is very powerful. What I make up about you is that you want change, but don't want to take action. I make up about you that you think you are a victim to your circumstances and there- fore you don't think any- thing will change. What I make up about you is that you are someone who fails to thrive. Does any of this resonate? Once your ego stops tantruming, maybe we can talk.

FAYDRA RECTOR WhatImake up about you Faydra Rector The Tehama County Ge- nealogical and Historical So- ciety will sponsor a one-hour PowerPoint program in col- laboration with the Tehama County Museum on the his- tory of Tehama County at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 8 at the Tehama County Museum, in the Marty Graffell Annex, 275 C St. in Tehama. The program is free. The presenters will be TCM president Chris Bauer, Executive Director Pam Britting and a guest speaker who is an author- ity on California Native Americans history. Coffee and cookies will be served. TCGHSPresidentDougDale has been working hard to line up quality programs this year and sees this collabo- ration as a valuable move to promote better understand- ing of our heritage. Bauer, who was the pre- senter at this year's Farm Bureau Farm City Night, is quick to point out that this is not the same program. "That was a skeleton ver- sion – an overview – because the Farm Bureau had im- portant community service recognitions make so they could only budget the time for a 15 minute presenta- tion," Bauer said. "This pro- gram adds flesh and mus- cle and a few stories, but still, no one hour program can do justice to the com- plete history of the county." Folks who want to bathe in Tehama County history need to get a copy of "Te- hama County 1856-2006" and dive in. It will be avail- able for purchase at this event. Bauer also mentioned that, with so many history advocates having dual mem- bership in the two organiza- tions, this is a perfect op- portunity for them to work together to preserve and present the history of the county. The Tehama County Mu- seum is open 1-4 p.m. Sat- urdays and Sundays. Group tours at times other than regular hours can be ar- ranged for by calling 384- 2595, or sending an e-mail to tcmuse@tehama.net. TO DO Hi st or y of T eh am a Co un ty t o be p re se nt ed The Tri-County Sams Chapter of the Good Sam Club held its April camp out at Mountain Gate RV Park in Redding with five rigs in at- tendance. On Friday evening, the group caravaned to Pe- ter Chu's Restaurant at the Redding Airport for a Chi- nese dinner. Each morning the campground provided a continental breakfast for everyone in the park. Fri- day night several members from the group and other park campers had fun doing Karaoke. Saturday evening the club held its potluck with Ed and Retta Pereira as Trail Bosses and they deco- rated the hall using the Eas- ter theme, with purple table clothes, yellow napkins and candy cups, Easter eggs and Easter statues of rabbits dressed like people. Jo Day, aunt of Lisa Sol, was a guest at the potluck and the Chi- nese dinner. A short meeting was held after the potluck. The May 8-11 campout will be held at the Edge- water Resort and RV Park in Kelseyville, with Ward Campbell of Red Bluff as Trail Boss. The group will have its hamburger and hot dog barbecue that weekend. Anyone owning a self-con- tained RV that would like to go on monthly camp outs with a great small group of people are encouraged to call Wagon Master Lisa Sol at 385-1344 or President Richard Sol at 200-7403. GOOD SAMS RV club reports April activities Those who are healthiest in telling and receiving a tough truth have infinitely better relationships and more satisfaction in life. PLEASERECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thankyou! Federal park in Red Bluff is to have a gun and carriage. This was learned in a let- ter Mayor G. G. Stice re- ceived from Nathan Hazen, chief clerk of the ordnance division, U. S. war depart- ment at Washington. The latter wrote that by request of Congressman John E. Raker and acting under authority of the na- tional lawmaking body, the commanding officer of Beni- cia arsenal has been asked to turn over to this city one 3.2 gun and carriage. The gun is not considered safe for firing, but will be loaned for ornamental pur- poses only. — May 6, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...
