POLICELOGS Crafters and collectors, artisans and marketers whose interests and prod- ucts run the gamut from the interesting and unique to the practical and hard to find are invited to set up shop at the Tehama County Museum's 33rd Annual Jubilee on Satur- day, Sept. 6 in downtown Tehama. The large number of tents and sun shades that fill Habert Park next to the Museum are a very impor- tant feature of the Jubilee. They always entice locals and visitors alike to stop and enjoy the festivities. "Because this event is our major fund raiser of the year, we work hard to offer a wide variety of opportu- nities for people who want to support the Museum and have a good time all at the same time," said Event Co- ordinator Pam Britting. There is a symbiotic rela- tionship between the craft- ers, artisans and the Mu- seum. People who come to shop at the faire also stroll over to the Museum and volunteers get to tell them the Tehama County story. People who come to have breakfast or lunch and en- joy exhibits, entertainment and special attractions are drawn to the booths to see what's for sale — maybe even do some early Christ- mas shopping. Crafters and artisans who would like to join in this opportunity are in- vited to call 384-2595, send an e-mail to tcmuse@te- hama.net or visit www.te- hamacountymuseum.org for details prior to the Aug. 27 deadline. The Museum is at 275 C St. in Tehama and is open to visitors 1-4 p.m. Satur- days and Sundays. MUSEUM Cra ersandartisans invited to Jubilee The Healthy Hun- ger-Free Kids Act went into effect July 1, setting new, up- dated standards for calories, fats, sugar, and sodium for "competitive foods" sold at schools. "Competitive foods" do not wear uniforms and engage in sports; rather that's gov- ernment-speak for vending machine snacks and bake- sale goodies. This regula- tion sets standards for cal- ories, fats, sugar, and so- dium, and is attempting to push foods with whole grains, lowfat dairy, fruits, vegetables, or protein foods as their main ingre- dient. It does require that food and beverage items sold during the school day achieve certain standards, but also allows for special exemptions for the pur- pose of conducting infre- quent school-sponsored fundraisers. What the law does not do is de- fine "infrequent," leaving that to the states to set their own limits. As a couple il- lustrations, Geor- gia allows 30 sales per school year, and according to the Na- tional Journal, Idaho has declared ten to be its limit, while the state of Il- linois is dropping its ex- isting 36 down to nine. So, let's make sure we're clear on this. "Thirty sales per year," does not mean through out the entire state, rather, it is 30 per school. Since Georgia has 2,500 public schools, the law therefore limits bake sales to 75,000 per year; not necessarily my defini- tion of "infrequent," but it will sure keep a whole lot of elementary school moms and dads up late baking cupcakes for a long, long time. Nonetheless, some folks enjoy the feeling of knot- ted knickers so an issue of the Wall Street Jour- nal displays the head- line: "Put Down the Cup- cake: New Ban Hits School Bake Sales." Not to be out-outraged, one sensa- tionalized hyper-parti- san website screams, "Mi- chelle Obama's Meddling In School Lunches Now Causes Bake Sale Bans." To add insult to the supposed injury, the photograph at the top of the webpage shows a candid unflatter- ing shot of Mrs. Obama eating what appears to be a sugary treat. So, here's where I come down on this (because I know you won't eat another goodie until you find out). First, can everybody please just chill the heck out? For goodness sakes, it's like we're all walking around with burrs in our boxers and someone's forc- ing us to sit down hard. Not everything requires us to be in high dudgeon. Let's just mellow, okay? Because the more ur- gent issue is why would we not want our children to eat better? I don't mean to tout the "when I was a kid" screed, but when I was a kid, my graduation class had 1,107 kids in it. (Yes, you read that right; I was in L.A.) Out of those more than one thousand students, I was the second- fattest kid. Aside from me, there were maybe three or four others who might be called "obese," translat- ing into less than one per- cent branded as such. Ac- cording to 2013 statistics, the U.S. average has now expanded to 31.3 percent; with some states nudging 40. That means my gradu- ating class, if moved to to- day, would mean I would have been in the company of 345 other chubby souls. I understand the need for personal responsibil- ity and freedom of choice; I wish we took more of the first and had more of the latter. Should the new law have outright banned sugar or fat, I'd proba- bly feel the same way I felt about the soda ban in New York not too long ago (didn't agree with it). But, if the price for a health- ier society is we have to change from bake sales to book sales once in a while, count me in. This is one time where we certainly don't our children to have their cake and eat it too.

SPORTING CLAYS Groupsetsupfundraiser COURTESY PHOTO Visitors to the 2013Tehama County Museum Annual Jubilee enjoyed strolling through all of the arts and cra s booths in Habert Park just west of the Museum. Many property own- ers are directly interested in the legal tangle involv- ing title to approximately eighty acres of valuable land located south of Red Bluff, just outside the city limits, and dating back to a state land patent of 1868, which has been disclosed by protests filed in the United States land patent office in Sacramento. The protests were lodged by lo- cal attorneys in behalf of S. D. Wilcox, Walter Huneaus, J. W. Scott, Mrs. M. F. Shell, California Public Railroad, G. B. Wilcox, J. M. Alford, B. Hoffman and O'Connor Bros., who claim ownership of the land in controversy. The list may be extended. — Aug. 8, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...

By Jennifer Cooper Social Security Manager in Red- ding Women's Equality Day is August 26, and this is the perfect time to remind you how much Social Secu- rity values and appreciates women. Even though men and women with identical earnings histories receive the same benefits, there are things women in particular should know about Social Security. There are trends and differences in lifestyle and patterns of earnings that can affect benefits. For example, some women may be caregivers for many people: spouses, children, and parents. Tak- ing time away from the workplace to care for a new- born child, ailing spouse, or aging parent can have an impact on your future So- cial Security benefits. Also, despite significant strides through the years, women are more likely to earn less over a lifetime than men. In addition, women are less likely than men to be covered by pri- vate retirement plans, so they are more dependent on Social Security in their re- tirement years. Did you know that women tend to live on av- erage about five years lon- ger than men? This means more years depending on Social Security and what- ever other retirement in- come or savings they accu- mulate. If a woman's spouse earns significantly more than she does, it is very pos- sible she will qualify for a larger benefit amount on the spouse's record than on her own.

SOCIAL SECURITY Women's Equality Day fast approaching Scott Marcus NAVIGATE the rapids of parenting Parenting is one of life's greatest joys. However parents will face many difficult challenges with their kids and teens when they tran- sition through different ages and grades. Just when things are going smoothly, parents suddenly find themselves thrown into rough waters, challenging even the strongest of families with no end in sight. These troubled waters are transitions and phases kids normally go through as they mature and grow from birth to adult- hood. August 14, 2014 • 6:30-8:30 Red Bluff Community Center one night only!
