Yet we can be sure that sooner or later we will confront a moment when everything comes to a halt, time is frozen as a hideous event takes place — a devastating loss, a traumatic development, a massive and deep wound in life. There you are, going along, tak- ing things for granted, when sudden- ly it seems your world is coming apart. Nobody plans for accidents, illness or tragedy. Sudden unemployment, divorce and financial downturns can hit us unannounced and send us crashing into a wall. What do we do when we get that phone call that changes everything? When the divorce papers are served? When the test results say terminal? When the bankruptcy is filed? How do we handle the devastating events in our lives? Refuse to take cover. Taking cover is the way many react to the trauma in their lives. They close their eyes, their minds and their hearts. They respond to crises with frustration, failure and fear. They react as children might when afraid of the dark — they pull the covers over their heads and hope the monsters will go away. Taking cover means surrendering to fear and worry. But the only thing worry does is use up energy. The issue is not whether there are things to worry about. There are! But will worrying add a single minute to your life? No. It will do just the opposite — worry shortens life, disables abilities and makes us mis- erable. T aking cover is refus- ing to face reality and choosing not to find a positive way to respond to adversity. It means accept- ing defeat, and that is always the wrong response to difficulty. Choose to discover. Refusing to take cover gives us an opportunity to open the door of hope and move into a season of dis- covery. We can discover life's we'll find out what we're really made of!" We can discover God — the pivotal discovery of a lifetime -- the source of our being, and without whom nothing in life is satisfying. We can discover that con- trary to how we might feel right now, life is truly vibrant with beautiful and amazing possibilities. We do have a future and a hope. Determine to recover. By discovering our life's Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate true values. We can choose to come to our senses, sort out our priorities and learn what life is really about. Perhaps it means a second chance at getting our financial house in order because finally we see the folly of spending all that we have, living for the moment and expecting that things will never change. We can discover strengths that per- haps we didn't know we possessed. Through our tears we can say, "Now true values, our true strengths, our God — then we can recover. We can move on with hope and gratitude and atti- tudes that are forever changed, with eyes that see things differently now because life has taken on a new depth. We can choose to recover!

California Outdoors Q&As Can a Disabled War Veteran Hunt with a Canine Companion? Question: I'm a 100 percent dis- abled war veteran and have a canine companion dog (yellow lab) that goes with me everywhere as my hearing dog. I lost most of my hear- ing in the war from enemy fire. Is it legal to take a companion dog turkey or deer hunting? Can my dog go turkey hunting on a leash, not as a hunting dog but as a hearing dog? My dog has never been trained to hunt and he won't be part of that life. He wouldn’t be chasing game but because he is my second set of ears, can he be used for hearing? (Larry L.) Answer: Yes, you can use your dog in the situations described. Gen- erally, there’s no prohibition against using dogs (having them with you) while bird hunting, but there is a one dog per hunter limit during general deer season. No dogs are allowed during archery deer season or while hunting with an archery-only tag (California Code of Regulations, section 265). Transferring a sturgeon tag to another person? Question: While bank fishing in the Delta recently, I watched some people nearby land a legal-sized sturgeon. They took some pictures and were about to release the 63- incher when a family came running up and asked if they could keep it for dinner. It appeared to me that the catch-and-release fisherman felt compelled to give it to them, and he did. I could not tell if the sturgeon was properly tagged prior to the transfer of ownership because the family left pretty quickly. I thought I might offer one of my tags as I am also a catch-and-release fisherman who has never landed a sturgeon and would never need three tags, but I am wondering if this would be legal. Not knowing, I decided not to give up my tag. My question is, can someone donate a sturgeon tag to another fisherman? (Rob Grasso) Answer: No, that is not legal. According to Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Lt. Scott Melvin, all fishing licenses, tags, permits and report cards are issued to a specific user and the Fish and Game Code expressly prohibits their transfer to another person. To emphasize this, “non-transferable” precedes the words “report card” in both the gen- eral report card requirements and the white sturgeon regulations in the Freshwater Sport Fishing Regula- tions booklet. Although the tags are removed from the card to tag a fish, sturgeon tags are uniquely correlated to one specific report card and may not be transferred to another user. How to take two limits of horse neck clams? Questions: My wife and I are heading to Dillon Beach for some camping and clamming for horse neck clams. I was told the limit is 10 clams per day per person. I was also told it would not be legal to dig clams for another person who is back at the campsite. I want to con- firm that I can indeed do the digging for both my wife and myself as long as she is right there with me. Dig- ging four feet or deeper into the wet sand would be difficult for her. This will be the first time we've done this. Please let me know if there are any other "gotchas" we should be aware of before we go. We don't want to break any rules. (Bob D.) Answer: No gotchas here. Horse neck clams are more correctly referred to as gaper clams. Gaper clams are often harvested with Washington clams so the limits are ten of each species. Due to the fact that their shells are often broken dur- ing harvest, the first ten of either species taken must be retained. As with any other fish or shell- fish you pursue and harvest in Cali- fornia, you may only take one bag/possession limit per day for yourself. Taking an additional limit for someone else is not permitted. One thing you can do is if you plan to be there for more than one day, you may take a bag limit the first day and give it to your wife. Then on the following day you can harvest another bag limit for yourself. By doing it this way, you and your wife can still have your maximum posses- sion limits. Importing cougars taken legally out-of-state? Question: What do I need to do to legally bring into the state a cougar hide and meat that was legal- ly taken in Nevada during the current 2011 season? (Peter Meyer) Answer: You can't. It is illegal to import any part of a mountain lion since the passage of Proposition 117 in 1990, which created section 4800 of the Fish and Game Code. CalFire to begin summer season preparedness staffing The Tehama-Glenn Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) declares June 13 the official opening of summer preparedness staffing levels for fire season. The unusual rainy season produced an abundance of grass and now with warmer tem- peratures the grass is starting to dry and will be ready to burn. With the opening of fire sea- son all stations will be open and staffed. CalFire asks for everyone’s cooperation in helping with the upcoming fire season. It is of vital importance for all residents to main- tain adequate clearance of flammable vegetation for a distance of 100 feet around all struc- tures. COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR All makes and models.

Beef For Father’s Day... It’s The Perfect Gift. Tehama County Cattlewomen 499 & NuWay Market - Los Molinos Boneless N.Y. Steak $ lb This clearance, called defensible space by fire- fighters, allows fire- fighters a chance to safely protect homes from an advancing fire. Remember, defensible space is your responsi- bility. CalFire is continuing its defensible space inspections of resi- dences to ensure that residents have 100 feet of defensible space around their homes. In addition, CalFire and the Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) urge everyone to be aware of the num- ber of fires that are started by mowing each year. Lawn mowers are for green grass, not dry fields. The use of string trimmers is recommend- ed for dry vegetation. Make sure all equipment has a spark arrestor. Use your ashtray and be very careful of hot exhaust pipes when parking near dry grass. By using good fire prevention rules you can help fire- fighters have a safer fire season.
