2A Daily News – Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Community people&events Not Forgotten What PATH are you taking? Just like everyone who reads the Daily News, I have been following the stories that lead up to the deci- sion to allow PATH to develop a shelter to help people who need help. I am very proud of my fellow columnists who have used their privilege to write for the paper to support the PATH team and to humanize the situation. There are down sides to being a columnist in a small paper; ridicule, cruel opinions and the occasional stalker, but overall it is delightful to have a venue to share meaningful information and thoughts. I have been writing nearly five years and I have matured in that time and have learned a thing or two about com- passion, the bigger picture and how our actions affect others. Each of us is on a path. We are Courtesy photo The Red Bluff Emblem club fulfilled its pledge to keep the Not Forgotten memorial flag flying by raising $567.58 for its expens- es.

We are all allowing or disallow- ing ourselves to bring things into our existence that benefit ourselves and our community. Everyday we make a series of choices that either make us better or leave us feeling dissatisfied with who we are. When we choose to help, love or reach out we feel better. When we choose to exclude, discount or diminish, we feel worse. When we choose to share our knowledge and teach others we feel proud. When we choose to alienate, hoard our resources and judge others we feel ashamed. The hopes and dreams of the PATH partners are based on a stand of ser- vice to others who are in need. The hopes and dreams of the opposition are based on a stand of "not in my back yard" and a Chicken Little mentality. I have spent my entire career working with the people who are the least equipped to stand up for themselves. They are in situations that cause them to rely on people who have compassion, a sense of service to others and a passion for doing what is right. Faydra Rector I am often humbled by the know- ing that any of us is only one away from needing the same compassion. We are all one job loss, one medical event, one accusation, one natural disaster, one heartbeat away from being in a place of need. The people who are in opposi- tion to the PATH project are basing their decisions on misinformation and propaganda. They see helping those in need as empowering poor people to make poor decisions. I question what personal experience they have with helping the very people they condemn. You Matter I say that the people who are spending so much energy blocking the efforts of PATH are actually the poorest of peo- ple making the poorest of decisions. Poor of spirit, poor of judgment and poor of the compassion that they themselves may need one day. Those who stand in opposition may need to spend their time managing their relationships and their resources because should either become fractured they may be facing the very lifestyle that is so dis- tasteful to them. We all have a path to choose in life. I choose the path of compassion, service and reaching out to those in need. I encourage you to get a firsthand experience with serving the home- less and you will see that when you help others you are actually helping yourself. Choose your path wisely.
