DELTA KAPPA GAMMA Beta Lambda offering $1,000 scholarship The board of supervi- sors held a session yes- terday afternoon, all members being present except Peake. Despite the fact that the session was short two very impor- tant matters were taken up and action taken on them. County Surveyor Lun- ing appeared before the board in reference to bridging the sand slough with suggestions as to the sort of bridge that should be constructed, and some- thing of the conditions that will be encountered in getting foundations. Mr. Luning favors steel cylinders filled with con- crete piers for the struc- ture, with floor of prac- tically the same material as the state highway is us- ing in the construction of the state highways. This will give the bridge free from wood in any of its construction and reduce the up-keep to practically nothing. — March 13, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

One of my best friends recently came home from a self-help seminar with that Oh-my- God-I've- just-experi- enced-a-life- changing- event kind of glow. One reason was The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zan- der and her husband, Bos- ton Philharmonic Con- ductor Benjamin Zander. She was so blown away by the content of this manu- script that she bought ev- ery used copy she could find and asked — no, in- sisted — that her friends read it. I always feel trepidation when a well-meaning per- son pushes a book into my hands. I know they want to share the good news with me; I appreciate the thoughtfulness. More- over, it's not that I don't like reading; actually I do. It's just I wish I had more time to do so. I love sitting on the couch on a lazy, rainy, windy afternoon, wrapped in one of those blankets with sleeves, diet hot chocolate on the end table; lost in a bril- liant yarn. Yet, my real- ity is that after a 60-hour week writing, research- ing, and preparing presen- tations; as well as follow- ing world events via web, magazine, and newsprint; would you think less of me when I admit that the only reading I end up doing with regularity is the pro- gramming guide the DVR splashes on the TV screen? So when she planted the book in my hands and em- phatically told me she re- ally wanted to know what I thought, I felt trapped. I'm glad I was. The authors posit sev- eral "practices." They don't tell you how to use them, simply that they exist. The choice to utilize them — or not — is ours. Practices in- clude: Be a Contributor, Light a Spark, and Give in to Passion, all wonder- fully valid. However, the practice that prompted me to take keyboard to word processor is "Be the Board;" in effect, take re- sponsibility for everything that happens in your life, even if it doesn't seem like it was caused by you. It's easy to take respon- sibility when it's some- thing we do (OK, maybe it's not exactly "easy," but good people do it any- way). My interpreta- tion of "Be the Board" is that we also must as- sume accountability for those things we did not do, as we are the board on which all our life's ac- tions are played out. The pieces in that game are all connected to us, like it or not. As example, should my marriage be in jeopardy because my spouse is un- caring and emotionally absent, a standard — ar- guably fair — reaction would be to blame her for my lousy marriage and feel miserable and trapped because of her. However, if I take responsibility for the situation in which I now find myself, I rapidly notice options I might not have seen otherwise. If I am trying to lose weight and, despite valiant, sin- cere, efforts, the scale does not move, standard mo- dus operandi is to curse the diet and feel defeated. Taking responsibility how- ever causes me to examine if there might be actions I could do I had not thought of before. This practice is equally powerful in pro- fessional or personal situ- ations, and it begins with a simple change of thought. Responsibility is not blame. Indeed it might not be my fault that I have trouble losing weight or choosing a good spouse, but it is my responsibil- ity to change it if I wish to improve. After all, the word itself means "abil- ity to respond." Without it, I am trapped, stagnant, petrified. Once I embrace my responsibility to im- prove my lot in life, I am empowered with unlim- ited options.

The camp will run 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Red Bluff Community Center and will host about 30 kids from the ages of 5 to 12. The city is looking for presenters to show their animal, while educating the children on the time, effort, housing and nutri- tional needs of each ani- mal. Those interested in participating are asked to call and schedule a time slot that best fits their schedule. Organizers are looking for a wide range of animals both wild and domestic to present to the kids. This is a great opportunity for the kids to learn about the ani- mals in the community. Red Bluff Parks and Rec- reation provides day camp programs for kids ages 5-12 during school holiday breaks and through the summer. Each program is planned and implemented based on the weekly theme and includes a variety of ac- tivities, including arts and crafts, health and wellness, games, music and knowl- edgeable educational pre- senters. Those interested in par- ticipating are asked to call Erin Luevano at 527-8177 or send an email to eluevano@ cityofredbluff.org.
