The second Annual Se- nior Nutrition Fundraiser will be held at 6 p.m. Fri- day, May 15 at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. Guests will be sere- naded by the Red Bluff High School Choir during dinner, which will include spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, salad greens and garlic bread. There will be a dessert auction following dinner with many specialty home- made desserts. A silent auc- tion and other donation op- portunities will be going on throughout the evening, in- cluding a special drawing for getaway trips to Reno and Lake Tahoe. This fundraiser helps to support the program throughout the year, assist- ing in meeting the needs of our seniors in Tehama County. The Senior Nutrition Program began in the year 2000 and continues de- spite budget cuts. Fund- ing for the program comes from the Older Americans Act, Tehama County and donations. Additional sup- port from the City of Red Bluff and Corning come in the form of volunteers and discounted rental space to serve and prepare meals. Even with this support and significant improve- ments in program effi- ciency, expected expenses outweigh funds received, leaving a gap in funding to meet the needs of area seniors. Many needy se- niors continue to wait to be added to the home-de- livered meal program due to budget constraints. "We are fortunate to live in a county that supports our program and is ded- icated to providing hot, freshly made meals to se- niors at congregate sites and through home deliv- ery," said Amanda Sharp, Manager of the Tehama County Community Ac- tion Agency. "Funds pro- vided outside of the base grant are used to meet bud- get shortfalls." Seniors gather for lunch at the Corning Senior Cen- ter and Red Bluff Com- munity Center five days a week. This allows them the opportunity to social- ize, remain active and healthy and meet new friends. There are various activities during the week at both sites encouraging seniors to participate. Home delivered meals allow the frail elderly to re- main independent in their own home by ensuring they receive proper nutrition as well as a regular visit from the driver delivering the meal. These daily visits are as important, if not more than, as the meal itself. The human contact for these se- niors is priceless — just ask any senior receiving these meals or their family mem- bers. New clients added to the program also receive a handmade quilt donated by the Sun Country Quilters. The program serves Red Bluff, Dairyville, Los Moli- nos, Corning, Tehama and Gerber. You can help support our seniors by purchasing tick- ets for the fundraiser, bid- ding on auction items dur- ing the event or sending a donation to support the program.

SENIORNUTRITION SpaghettidinnersetforFriday COURTESYPHOTO Juanita Rajanen, nutrition coordinator for the Senior Nutrition Program, is pictured with cook Brian Medeiros. I've been plot- ting my escape from Northern Cal- ifornia for two years now. It's long over due. If I am being honest, the escape plan started back when I was thirty-four, newly divorced and fully intended to leave the moment my young- est daughter graduated high school. I often joked that the U-Haul would be parked in the RBUHS parking lot during the graduation ceremony. That plan shifted from time-to-time but the over- all plan to move anywhere south of the Sacramento airport was always in play. I started building a busi- ness about five years ago that was location indepen- dent, meaning it didn't matter where I live to earn my income. I also took radical steps to reduce my living expenses so I had the freedom to choose where I live and how much it costs me. In April I put my home on the market and this week I sat with four offers, two of which were full- priced, and as they say, the shiz just got real. Is it pos- sible to be excited, ecstatic and scared all at the same time? Yes, it is. Now the big push is to find my new home. I know where I am moving; I just don't know what my home will be like. A house, a condo, an apartment, a tiny house… who am I kidding? My shoes would never fit into a tiny house. Thinking back on my exit strategy I realize that there are three phases to getting what you want: thinking, talking and walking. When I first re- alized that my heart and mind belonged in an area outside of Northern Cal- ifornia, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I would like to do and what I would need to do to make this happen. What would somewhere else look like? What type of living was I looking for? What lights my fire? Once I had a vi- sion for my new life, I started talk- ing about it. Many of you know that last year I started a Tehama County bucket list and I have been documenting quintessen- tial Tehama County ac- tivities that I have been able to participate in and write about in the paper and on my blog. Talking about it solidifies that the whole thing is more than an idea. Now I am at the walk- ing phase, taking the ac- tions that I need to take to make my goal a reality. The whole goal was to move, in order to do that I had to create a business. Since then, I've published or been a part of eight books, been a guest with Huffington Post Live and countless radio shows and podcasts. I have my own podcast and am reaching the six-figure mark in my business. Many of you were a part of my thinking phase, my talking phase and will witness my walk- ing phase. I simply want to say that I if I can do this, anyone can do it. I am nothing special. I was simply willing to go where I was lead and do the work. You can too. Think, talk and walk. Three steps to having anything you de- sire. FaydraRector,MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.

Owing to the high water the boat became unmanageable and finally parted the ca- ble. The boat drifted slowly down the river and finally lodged at the Reed ranch. Just before the boat landed, the two men jumped off and although one was seen to swim safely to shore the other seemed to be in diffi- culty and no trace of him or his landing place has been found and it is feared that he was drowned. — May 12, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
