The 48th Ice Cream So- cial at the Kelly-Griggs House Museum Sunday proved to be entertaining for all and, not without a lot of support from the commu- nity and afar. Red Bluff Rotary Club sponsored the event with a generous donation, again, this year; Scoops Ice Cream, Gelato & More — Frank and Michelle Ferriera and fam- ily — lived up to its name, providing multiple flavors and specialty treats served up to those attending. Ra- bobank loaned staff mem- bers to serve cookies. Tehama County Shrine Club grilled hamburgers and cheeseburgers near the Tehama Community Band, which played throughout the event under the direc- tion of Jay Thiel. Thiel's wife, Diane, helped set up for the event. Lynsey and Emma Forsberg sang the National Anthem as Lance Corporals Trevor Kain and Zachary England, of the Young Marines, presented the color guard. Red Bluff Art Association and Tehama County Photo Club were on hand with smiles, laughter, beautiful art and photography. Sun Country Quilters offered tickets for their opportu- nity quilt. The Tehama County Mu- seum had an informational booth on the north lawn. Native Daughters of the Golden West — Berrendos Parlor wore blue and white prairie gowns and bonnets and sold tickets at the gate, following a long tradition. Members of the Belles and Beaus ballroom dance group circulated in the crowd along with curator Bev Hartshorn and her es- cort Larry Ridgel in Victo- rian wear. Military reenac- tors along with a vintage military Jeep added flavor to the street corner. A silent auction was held inside the museum and sev- eral door prizes were dis- tributed to lucky winners drawn from gate tickets. Moule's Tehama County Glass provided Snow Moun- tain Water sold by the Kelly- Guides. Akers of Events — Sonja Akers and crew — provided tables and chairs. Chippewa Pest Control, Inc. volun- teered services days before the event to rid exterior and grounds of any pests. Da- vid & Cathy McFann made sure their DPM Landscap- ing crew had the grounds looking prime. Museum association directors, members and guides worked very hard to make sure the event was a success. Thank you, to ev- eryone who participated in keeping this Red Bluff tra- dition alive. Save the date for the mu- seum's next Appraisal Day with John Humphries, scheduled 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at the Museum, 311 Washington St., Red Bluff.

Summer is winding down, the days are getting shorter and the schools are filled with kids again. With summer ending and school year back in ses- sion, school buses return to our local roads and school zone speed limits being en- forced. Most motorists drive the same route from home to wok and back again. Road- way signs become back- ground clutter because we've looked at them so many times as we are run- ning through our daily agenda in our minds, plan- ning our schedule for the day, or thinking about that up-coming meeting, we sometimes forget the world is not static and is changing. Here are a few things to remember with the new school year: School Buses: School buses have a speed limit of 55mph when trans- porting children. This means they will be travel- ing slower than some posted speed limits on certain roadways. School buses make frequent stops to pick up and unload children. When the red lights are flashing and the stop sign is displayed, traffic shall stop. School Zones: School Zones come in many variet- ies, but they all have some- thing's in common. The zone will be posted on both ends by signs on the shoul- der of the roadway, and the speed limit is 25mph. Some have flashing lights in addition to the signs. School zone speed limits are in effect during school hours and are enforceable when school children are present. Most schools in our area are fenced, sepa- rating the children once school starts from traffic. At these schools the speed limit change applies to the times children are coming and going from the schools (drop off and pick up times). If the school is not fenced and the school is adjacent to the road, the speed limit is in effect for the duration of the school day. Bicycles: School in and the nice fall weather equals kids on bikes. Children will be riding bikes to school, riding bikes home a er school, and making use of the limited play hours a er school. The new passing laws require motorists to pass with no less than three feet between their vehicle and bicyclist. If that's not practical, the driver of a motor vehicle is required to slow down until a er safely passing the bicyclist. Remember to be alert as you drive past and near our neighborhood schools. School children will be walking and riding their bikes to and from school making the once quiet summer streets busy once again. When in doubt, slow down.
