Am I happy, when the sun shines it seems that I can tap my energy tank ever so much easier than under dark, cloudy skies. The projects that I’ve been tackling have been a challenge. A rat figured out a way to get into my storage shed and take up resi- dence. This was not a nursery school book rat who was every- body’s little friend but a large, furry fierce looking monster. The monster rat tackled every storage laded box leaving debris all over other items in storage. You can probably guess that I was one unhappy camper. Many items had to be thrown away; others had to be placed on our outside deck while we thoroughly cleaned every nook and cranny of the shed. We figured out a way to keep rats from entering anytime in the future. When this task was almost over, it began to rain. I quickly covered every item remaining on the deck with a tarp and went inside to tackle washing of salvageable items. The items are still under cover on the deck waiting for the sunshine to settle in and provide a positive atmos- phere. SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc. Setting it straight In an article about the R-Wild Horse Ranch Crawdad Festival that ran Thursday, June 2, it states that tickets are available in advance for $15, for a booklet of 30 tickets. It wasn’t made clear that those are carnival ride tickets only.

The next four days, husband and I spent time at our mountain retreat where almost all of the snow had left our Mineral lot. Since a tree had fallen upon the roof of our cabin we went to see what we could do to get the clean- up started. Both the electricity and the telephone wires had been torn from the house. Fortunately the propane tank was safe so we entered our dark abode and turned on a battery operated lantern and the propane stove. Flash lights proved light when darkness arrived. We opened the window curtains for more light. For the next three days we worked at cleaning up branch debris from around the house and began to trim branches from the fallen tree and drag them to a pile at the lane so they could be hauled away. Were we tired? Yes. Did it begin to hale and snow? Yes! Did the wind blow? Yes! Were we cold? Yes! Were we hungry? Yes! to begin. "Three Piggy Opera" was the banner at the back of the stage. Carolyn Barber Was it getting colder? YES! I am sure readers get the meaning of this exciting adven- ture in May. We packed up our bags, loaded the tools into the car and proceed- ed to head down to Red Bluff, while the ice cold wind blew and the trees swayed. I grabbed my book to sooth me on the trip down to the valley only to discover that the wind was blowing in Red Bluff and was lifting the tarps from the items I had stored on our back deck. Tired we were but we knew that the next day was our youngest great grand daughter’s Kindergarten graduation at Rich- field School. We couldn’t miss that even though our bones were aching. On Wednesday we entered the Richfield School auditorium and were greeted by a group of actors on the stage to the front of the room. A large number of parents and grandparents were prepared with cameras galore just waiting for the Kindergarten Presentation Red Bluff Emblem Club sponsors scholarship Red Bluff Emblem Club #408 is now accepting applications for the Dorothy Minch Nursing Schol- arship.

Photo courtesy of Judy Culver Chris and Maria Culver of Red Bluff won the “People’s Choice” award at the Chili Cook- Off in Virginia City, Nev., Saturday, May 14. Their sponsor was Cruz Brothers Under- ground Utility Locators, which they both work for. The Culvers also took third place for their chili verdi in the Red Bluff Round- Up Chili Cook-Off. Richfield Kinder- garten Children marched onto the stage in costumes, that of pigs and wolves. The chil- dren began to sing opera still the age-old story of the three little pigs, who built three different designs of houses, made of hay, wood and brick. The kids were dressed as pigs, two of which were attired in wolf suits. The singing and acting together was stu- pendously entertaining. The adult audience laughed and applauded, children with happy faces rewarded themselves, their teachers, their parents, grand par- ents and great grand parents. Our hardships in the mountains drifted away as did all the hurts and tired- ness of our mountain clean-up. Our Red Bluff experience with the invading big, bad rat and our cold- ness at Mineral were all forgotten, during the entertainment by the children of Richfield School. Music, math the music soothed our savage souls. Thank you Prin- cipal, teachers, parents and kids and especially our Great Grand- daughter, Caidee. …And the little children shall lead us.
