Iflyalot.I like it. I like ev- erything about it. I like the feel- ing of approach- ing the airport in my car and see- ing the planes tak- ing off and land- ing and knowing I am headed somewhere. I love the process of wheel- ing my leopard print suit- case into the airport and lovingly handing it over to someone who will see to it that it reaches it's final destination. I love sitting in the lounge and waiting, with time to spare, for my flight or grabbing a quick massage pre-flight. I love being squished in coach and I love spread- ing out in first class, ei- ther are fine with me. I love a good red eye be- cause I love falling asleep on one end of the na- tion and waking up in the next. I love everything about flying, even the icky parts, because of what it reminds me of. Each time I am in a plane, I become more acutely aware of the fra- gility of life. Now I do know that flying is a safer mode of transportation than many other forms, but it is nearly impossible to not think of the dom- ino affect of horror that would run through your mind if your plane were about to crash. Having said that, I don't spend too much time living in the land of the dead while I am enjoying my mag- azines and that little stream of air that almost, but not quite, reaches me from my personal air vent. What I do of- ten times think about is how short life is, and how much potential there is while we are here. When I first started as a writer, I was at home blogging before it was something you could earn money at. After a while, that earned me some cool opportunities, including this gig with the Daily News. I didn't start out as a writer try- ing to make an impact. I was expelling an overload of energy and thoughts in a way that was socially acceptable. I didn't think of myself as making an impact, but I was pay- ing attention to people who were. I was unknow- ingly motivated by men and women who were, in fact, making an im- pact in lives- theirs and other people's and started watch- ing them. I started watching how they thought, acted and engaged in their com- munities and it began to teach me to make an impact with what I do. Watching them taught me meaningfulness with my work. Now, back to flying. When I fly and I feel the sensation that inevitably creeps in, that if I were to leave this world on this flight, I brace myself for impact. I start to think about everything I know that I want others to hear. I think about what I want to say or teach, be- cause the truth is, I am a teacher first and foremost. I brace myself for the im- pact I want to make in this life. When I deplane, I am often times moti- vated with a fresh new idea to expand what I do. Many of the You Mat- ter subjects are people who have impacted me, others. They are busi- ness owners or survivors of illness or life-chang- ing crap whom have im- pacted me. All have been teachers and all helped me make the shift from stumbling through this life, tripping over my sack of memories and up- set, to trying to make an impact. How can you impact others? Are you living life so well that if your plane went down, you would be sad but believe you left something behind that made an impact? Switch- ing your mindset to find- ing a way to be useful here on Earth, to matter or to make an impact can change every decision you make. Brace yourself for impact.

Many of the docent staff, personal friends and col- leagues came by to honor Pat in her retirement and to reminisce about her role in creating the museum and sustaining its oper- ation. She gave tirelessly as a volunteer through the last 34 years, serving as board member, event co- ordinator, historian and docent. Pat was presented with a commemorative plaque honoring her for her ser- vice, and Board Presi- dent Chris Bauer pinned her with a lifetime badge naming her as the muse- um's Docent Emeritus and Board Member Emeritus. "The reception was part of a docent training ses- sion where current volun- teers brainstormed ideas for improving our service to the community and reminisced about past ex- periences as docents that taught us how to do a bet- ter job," said board mem- ber and fellow docent Paul Quinn. "The museum is seeking new docents who will be paired with experi- enced volunteers for train- ing." The Tehama County Mu- seum is at 275 C St. in the City of Tehama. For the 2015 season, the museum will be open 1-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sun- days. Special tours may be ar- ranged by calling the mu- seum at 384-2595 or by e- mail at tcmuse@tehama. net.

POLICE LOGS The Robbins deer slaying case, which was inaugurated with more interest than usually attaches to cases of this character, is growing in interest and angles as it pro- gresses. Already it has developed a full blown case of habeas corpus, brought the special counsel for the fish and game commission twice or thrice to this city, caused a game warden to lose his job, and raised more delicate law points than the drowning of an American on board a British merchantman in neutral waters could have done. An now out of this case still an- other has developed. While it is not the same case as the one that tripped John Robbins up, its essen- tial features are provided by the same deer at the same time. James M. Robbins was arrested yesterday through the Fish and Game Com- mission represented by its special counsel R. D. Duke. James Robbins is a brother of John Robbins. Read- ers of The News will remember that John Robbins was arrested, tried and convicted for killing a deer out of season. The testimony offered by the defense in that case was to the effect that the deer was dressed and the meat packed onto the horses of John Robbins and James Robbins and taken to camp. The fish and game commission apparently are taking the men at their own word and have caused the arrest of James M. Robbins on the charge of having deer meat in his possession. This is an entirely different offense. The two men are not charged with the same crime as generally believed. Testimony already submitted in the trial of John Robbins would seem to make the conviction of James M. Robbins certain. James Robbins arrested yesterday is out on bonds of $150. The habeas corpus proceedings had before Judge Ellison Mon- day in the matter of the release of John Robbins has not yet been de- cided. In the mean time the status of this case is uncertain and the de- fendant doesn't know just "where he is at." — April 14, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
