Special to the DN Have you ever had chocolate dipped bacon or a Snick- ers cupcake or chicken dipped on mole sauce? These are just some of the items awaiting you at this year's Soropti- mist International's Chocolate Fantasia. "Vendors from the area will be providing a sample of their tasty treats and some of our local members have spent the summer sampling all manner of chocolate appe- tizer recipes to come up with some unique — treats never served before at any Fantasia event," said Jill Wabbel, an organizer. "The whole family are now Soroptimist mem- bers and it will be fun to work together to raise money for women and girls for our scholarship program." SIRB provides scholarships and awards for high school seniors, those returning to school and those seeking advanced degrees. "Each year we try and provide more monies as we know costs continue to rise," Wabbel said. "We would like the Fantasia to be one of our major fundraisers for 2011 but we will only have 200 tickets available." The cost of the evening is $20 per person and includes a commemorative wine glass. Tickets are available, for both the Cancer Ribbon Quilt and the Fantasia event, to be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Veterans Hall, from Soroptimist members, by calling Becky Eusted at 597-2342 or sending an e-mail to SIRedBluffClub@yahoo.com.

There are things I loved about living in what seemed to be a world away from town. I loved running in the orchards playing Charlie's Angels. I loved that I lived nestled between what was then Jill's Market and Los Robles Market. These stores sold Charlston Chew candy bars for a quarter and other treats like Coke in real bottles that you could recycle and get more change for more candy. I loved that I had friends who could meet at the creek and swim all summer and make forts in the irrigation silo's. I went to Lassen View school where boys had to sit on one side of the bus and girls on the other and our bus driver, Frances, told us he lost part of his finger when he picked his nose one day. I appreci- ate that small school for being a part of my childhood. Not all the memo- ries were positive; like when Ms. Schrader made me wear a box on my head for talking too much or Mr. Woods who made me stand beside his desk all day for talking too much. Hey guys, I get paid to talk now. That same Mr. Woods awakened my love for creative writ- ing and Ms. Bevens was the first teacher who made me feel special in some way. I have written about Marilyn Long who modeled for me what positive parenting looked like. She was one of the first people in my life to change the thought in my head that adults equaled control and pain. It is no wonder that her daughter, Kathy Long- Brandt, has grown to be a magnificent woman in her own right. I grew up know- ing Kathy from afar. She was a year or so younger than me. Kathy did won- derful things in school sports and came back to our area after graduating from Pepperdine. Later she mar- ried another local, James Brandt, and began her fam- ily. Together they started Julia's Fruit Stand, honoring their daughter. Their family and their stand grew through the years and Kathy and James have become pillars in our area for business, parenting and promoting all home grown and wonderful things our region has to offer. Today I attended the fifth annual Pumpkin Festival, reminis- cent to those of us from Dairyville, of Pumpkinland fame, minus the Wizard of Oz theme. Julia's Fruit Stand matters because the love, joy and energy that James and Kathy and their fam- ily put into the festival and the over- Faydra Rector all stand remind me that good peo- ple, doing good things bring joy and good to all of us. The happiness that the family share is transferred to all who come to wagon out their varieties of pump- kins. Just as hurting peo- ple, hurt others, happy people help others. James and Kathy and their girls translate their happiness into a wonder- ful place that people travel to from all over. What makes you You Matter happy in life? How can you use your happiness to impact others. What festival of the heart can you create for people to enjoy? Be like Julia's Fruit Stand, grow joy, offer varieties of hope and love, embrace diversity and host a festi- val of acceptance for as many peo- ple as your stand will hold.
