POLICELOGS Forest Supervisor Ab- bey returned yesterday from a trip to Mineral, where the summer offices of the service is located. Mr. Abbey brings down with him some very in- teresting facts concern- ing Mount Lassen, and sets at rest any prevailing opinion that the volcano is not busy, with splen- did prospects of becom- ing still busier. Abbey climbed Lassen through the heavy snow to within three miles of the crater. From his view point he was able to observe the results of the activity of the volcano, and to determine that it has been increas- ing constantly in violence. The crater extends en- tirely across the top of the mountain now to the point where the lookout cabin of the forest service was lo- cated. The cabin is entirely demolished. A more strik- ing evidence of the activity of the volcano is the fact that the heat from the cra- ter is rapidly melting the snow on top of the peak, sending streams of water down the mountain side. Snow melting on the top of Lassen in mid-winter was never known in the history of the mountain. It carries a cap of white the year round. The activity on Mount Lassen has also communicated to Bumpas Hell and that body of boil- ing lava and water is in a state of turmoil never be- fore known. The whole re- gion shows the effect of the activity of Lassen, and doubtless when the snows melt and the trails are passable many new phases of the volcanic activity will be disclosed. No one has been near the summit of the mountain in many months, Abbey being the first to secure a near view of the crater. He was one of the first visitors to venture near the crater last sum- mer when the eruptions first began. — March 14, 1915 100 YEARS AGO... Heat from volcano is melting snow on summit and Bumpas is snorting For the 17th year in a row, the Dairyville Com- munity Club, Inc. is offer- ing thousands of dollars in college scholarships to local students. This year, $18,000 has been allocated. These scholarships are divided into three catego- ries — lower-division, up- per-division and graduate. All students who meet the eligibility criteria are en- couraged to apply. All graduating high school seniors who grad- uated from Lassen View Elementary School are el- igible to apply for one of the lower-division schol- arships. The upper-divi- sion and graduate scholar- ships focus on college stu- dents who are pursuing a degree in agriculture. To be eligible for one of these scholarships a stu- dent must be a past grad- uate of a Tehama County high school and a college junior, senior or graduate student at the beginning of the 2015/2016 academic school year. Applications, includ- ing detailed instructions, for all of these scholar- ships are available at www.dairyvillefestival. org. If you know of some- one who may qualify for one of these scholarships, share this information with them. Candidates are encour- aged to visit the website and review the application materials at their earliest convenience. Be advised that the application dead- lines for all of these schol- arships are in April. The Dairyville Com- munity Club is honored to have been able to allo- cate a total of $175,500 in scholarships to date. These funds have been made available by the generos- ity of our community vol- unteers, private and busi- ness donations, gifts made directly to the scholarship fund and the great success of the annual Dairyville Orchard Festival. DAIRYVILLE COMMUNITY CLUB Scholarships available for local students This past week I had the pleasure of speak- ing to a local Girl Scout troop. Ac- cording to their leader, they wanted to help the animals of the Tehama County An- imal Care Center for their community ser- vice project. The enthusi- asm shown, and questions asked, displayed a true fondness for, and curios- ity about animals. More- over, even though some of the girls were quite young, they showed a keen un- derstanding of what ani- mals require as far as care and attention. The evening confirmed what I have al- ways believed. If any com- munity is to have respon- sible and compassionate adult pet guardians, then we need to begin with the children. Children adore ani- mals, as we often wit- ness anytime a small child is near a cute puppy, kit- ten, or other baby ani- mal. The child's reaction is usually one of unsur- passed delight. From the moment a child takes a breath, stuffed toys, books, etc. emphasize the ani- mals that are in the world around them. Since chil- dren are inherently curi- ous and absorb informa- tion at an astonishing rate, it is a perfect opportunity to start teaching the les- sons of kindness and com- passion that ensures the welfare of animals. There are many benefits to raising children with pets. Children are often being evaluated, whether it is for behavior, grades, or general performance. Since pets do not evalu- ate, and give children a sense of unconditional ac- ceptance, an increase in a child's self-esteem and self-confidence can occur. Improvement in non-ver- bal communication skills can also increase. The sub- tle signals pets give re- garding their feelings and needs are observed. These experiences can later be applied to human rela- tionships. The child has learned a valuable commu- nication lesson based on awareness of body posture and behavior. Compassion may also be learned. Children of- ten become curious about the emotions pets might feel. This curiosity and the understanding of actions with resultant behaviors can have significant im- pact on future interactions with others. When children are ex- posed to routine veterinar- ian exams, treatments for illnesses, and the demise of a beloved pet, it helps prepare them for many adult life situations. Chil- dren can also learn the sig- nificance of taking care of themselves. When they understand the impor- tance of taking care of a pet and keeping the animal healthy, they will often ap- ply the same principles to themselves. For example, if routine check-ups are es- sential to their pet's health, then it must also be impor- tant for the child. In addition, pets can be used for therapy with chil- dren who have learn- ing disabilities or diffi- cult home situations. Chil- dren who are traumatized in their lives often man- age better when they have a pet to confide in. They can talk to and share their feelings with them, for they are the safe recipient of se- crets and private thoughts. Learning respect to- ward animals for most children is part of learning to function successfully in society. However, if it is discovered that a child is repeatedly being cruel or derives pleasure in caus- ing pain to animals, it is an early warning sign that requires quick profes- sional intervention to help in preventing the behav- ior from escalating as the child becomes an adult. In 1933, the National P.T.A. Congress made the following statement, " Chil- dren trained to extend jus- tice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their relations with each other. Character training along these lines will re- sult in men and women of broader sympathies, more humane, law-abiding in every respect more valu- able citizens. Humane ed- ucation is teaching in the schools and colleges of the nation the principles of jus- tice, goodwill, and human- ity toward all life. The cul- tivation of the spirit of kindness to animals is but the starting point towards that larger humanity which includes one as fellow of ev- ery race and clime. A gen- eration of people trained in these principles will solve their difficulties as neigh- bors and not as enemies." When children learn to care for animals, and treat them kindly, they obtain invaluable preparation in learning how to treat other fellow members of society. Learning about compas- sion and respect in the for- mative years aids in help- ing reduce instances of vi- olence and cruelty to all living beings. Therefore, if we wish for a brighter to- morrow, we need to start with the children, and it is never too early to begin. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter.
