Wind, rain, lighting, hail, funnel clouds and thunder has visited Tehama County. I have a feeling that snow may have re-visit- ed Mineral. We will take a trip on Friday to examine the winter dam- age. Hopefully it is not damaged properties beyond repair. There were interval days when the sun shown through marauding clouds. One May day this month allowed us to visit with Cherubina and Al Schmitz. We went to see if Mr. Schmitz, who worked for Lyon and Garrett Co. on Main Street. Larry Snell’s father had taken a pic- ture of a brick building on the alley behind the Peter Pan, which was located at 740 Main Street. The pic- ture brought about questions con- cerning the brick building. As it turned out, none of us were remem- bering much about the purpose of the brick structure. However, it was a wonderful visit. Larry Snell, hus- band Hurley and I learned so much about times gone by in Red Bluff and the wonderful home and shop that the Schmitz welcomed us to explore. The sunshine outside was nurturing the sunshine inside while we of visited with these great peo- ple. Yes, I do believe that there is still merriment in May in spite of the not so welcome weather in this month. I will confess that wind is not my favorite weather present. Breezes in the summer months are welcome, but wild winds that make one cold and knocks down bushes, trees and other items just doesn’t cut it for me. There are many tasks for me to work on today inside away from the wind. My desk is piled with papers that must either be tackled today or planned for the next few days. As I type this diatribe, I look beyond my computer and out the win- dow, hmm; the wind is still at work. I have an idea, I like to read, what I can do to justi- fy my sliding into reading a book? I could snuggle on the couch in front of the window and completely loose myself in a book, glancing up once in a while to check on the humming- birds. Hmm, I really don’t want to go out in the wind or clean the top of my desk. It feels as though May madness has entered my body and is running interference with my decision making. Wow! I just took a break and perused the Red Bluff Daily News and guess what? The front page has a picture of an Author named Jeff Savage. Who writes books that appeal to children and he was scheduled to be at the Tehama County library on Thursday, May 19. It seems he would be speaking to the children and adults at 12:30 that day. He is one of the nation’s leading writers of non-fiction books for children. Many of books are based on sports and historical accounts of the West. Savage is a nine-time winner of the Internation- al Reading Association. Okay, I know what I am going to do for the balance of this day…I am going to straighten up my desk a bit so I won’t feel guilty about leaving Carolyn Barber the house at slightly after twelve noon and tooling down to the Tehama County Library to take a gaze at this children’s author and all the interesting books that we have access to in our Tehama County Library. Yes, I love reading books, even children’s books. I often tutor young children in reading so I am always on the look-out for inter- esting books for them. As a child I was not the best at sports although I dabbled a bit in girl’s basketball, ring tennis, volley ball and even a bit of activity playing golf, and using a bow and arrow, the last two being the assignment of our then high school girl’s sports teacher, Gloria Kast. Now that I am a little more chronologically mature, I stick to walking for exer- cise. I do believe that children need some physical activity and some inspiring Sports reading to add to their continuing growth through life. Physical growth is very impor- tant and can be ongoing through life. The following words apply to all human beings. Children are like clocks; they must be allowed to run! James C. Dobson Have a great day in May regard- less of the wind. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. She can be contacted by e-mail at hurcar@yahoo.com.
