TheSunCountryQuilters of Red Bluff recently held the annual Mother's Day Cele- bration of Quilts at Brent- wood Convalescent Center and Red Bluff Healthcare. It has been a very good experience for both the quil- ters and the recipients of the quilts. "We are just trying to keep our elderly residents warm and in comfort," said Georgina Tacconi, commu- nity service chairwoman. Sun Country's quilters make and donate lap quilts for many other organizations in Tehama Country, includ- ing Head Start, Meals on Wheels, Children and Adult Protective Services and Al- ternatives to Violence. Last year the group do- nated more than 280 quilts to local organizations and in- dividuals in need and hope to do the same in 2014. Quilters meet every Mon- day at the Family Resource center on Sycamore Street from 9 a.m. to noon to con- tinue making quilts. Every- one is welcome to join in sew- ing these beautiful lap quilts.

Striving to keep creating comforting gi s, the Sun Country Quilters welcome everybody to join. Sometimes problems seem so big that we can't imagine how to deal with them. In their enormity, we languish in the pain they cause because solving them seems impossible. We are painfully aware of the discomfort the prob- lem brings us, but what is required to get through to the other side seems un- bearable. Staying stuck has a toxic reaction that af- fect every area of our life and manifest in horrible ways. Some problems are so embarrassing or troubling that we keep them to our- selves hoping we can find enough inner wisdom to solve them, ride them out or hang on until the worst is over. These are espe- cially difficult problems be- cause the isolation feeds into the already over- whelming aspects of the problem. The problems be- come no-win situations. Hanging out on the wrong side of a problem is one of the hardest things to do. The pain of not fac- ing a tough truth or not making an important de- cision that needs to be made is far worse than any associated fall out, only it doesn't seem like it. It seems like doing what you want to do or need to do is going to cause a ripple af- fect that isn't worth the gain. It feels like tackling the problem will only cause more problems and be harder than what you are already facing. There are ways to man- age getting to the other side of the problem. First off, get out of your own head. Connect with the wisdom of someone else who is trustworthy. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Managing your pain alone doesn't make you better, it makes you bitter. A fresh perspec- tive may be all you need to take actions that seem im- possible. Recognize that the pain of staying on the wrong side of the problem is far worse than any pain that comes after taking action. Sure, there may be prob- lems, scary things and all sorts of trouble, but in the end, it will all be worked out when you take action. No more heaviness, no more guilt, no more wish- ing for things to be differ- ent or better. Inaction is as powerful a trouble maker as any sort of abrasive action. To say it another way, if you try to avoid your issues by doing nothing, you have as much chance of implosion as you do taking an action that will solve your problem. As much risk for a heart attack, other physical ill- nesses, alienating loved ones, losing your job or other rough outcomes. In the long run it is better to just deal with your sit- uation and move on over stuffing your issues and trying to cope. I challenge you to face your issues head on and tackle them. Dig deep, find the courage to deal with the big things that are eat- ing at you. Take action and step through your problem into the other side. The growth is in the ac- tion steps. The things you learn along the way make the whole thing worth it. You can't get the reward without the hard work, but you can take charge of your life and solve your problems.

FAYDRA RECTOR Hangingoutonthe wrong side of a problem Faydra Rector At press time, fourteen of the nineteen members of Troop 17, Red Bluff's leading boy scout troop, had been ap- prehended and sentenced by local authorities.

It is said that the en- tire troop were in waiting for him when he left the meeting of the "Cub Scouts" last night about nine o'clock.
