Thewomenandchildren of the PATH Sale House are getting ready for their an- nual giant yard sale Fri- day, July 31 and Saturday, Aug. 1. The ladies and children will be receiving donated items now and until the sale. If you would like to help or donate, call Jenni- fer Ragsdale at 727-7191. Ragsdale, who is the case manager, was once a resi- dent at the house. She was living in the PATH shelter for a short time, then moved into the Sale House and re- gained custody of her two children. From there she moved to her own place, attended and graduated Shasta College, received two scholarships from So- roptimist International and will be attending California State University, Chico in the Fall. Her success story is celebrated by the PATH organization along with many others. It costs PATH about $1,500 a month for all ex- penses of the house, which can hold only 15 peo- ple. Right now there are 7 women and 8 children. Most of the women are working regular jobs, at- tending school or volunteer- ing in the community. The goal is to raise $18,000 between the yard sale and monetary dona- tions, which would help fund the house for one year. Come and support the Sale House with donations for the sale or come by and make a monetary donation. All donations will be greatly appreciated.

LOSMOLINOS in a spectac- ularrunawayofseventeams hitched to mowers and one to a dump rake early this af- ternoon on the Dunn place owned by Sommers & Co. near Tehama, two men were injured, several of the machineswerebrokenanda number of horses were crip- pled. A small team of mules hitched to a dump rake startedthetrouble.Allofthe teams were going from the field to the ranch house sin- gle file, with the rake team in the lead. This team took frightandstartedtorunand alloftheteamsthatwerebe- hind followed suit. Fortu- nately the sickle bars were up and the mowers out of gear, or the machines would doubtless all have been de- molished. The noise of the bounc- ing mowers and rake fur- ther frighted the teams, which were soon going at a terrific speed. E. Sinkey of Corning, who was driv- ing one of the mowers, was thrownfromhisseatandthe teamandmowerjustbehind him ran him over as he lay on the ground. His elbow was badly wrenched and he was severely bruised about the body. Joe Stevens, another driver, was also thrown fromhisseat,butheldtothe lines and was dragged for some time before his hold gave way. He was also run over by a team and mower, but escaped with a bruised leg. One of the teams near the lead fell down in cross- ing a ditch and the racing animals behind were un- able to stop. In an instant teams were piled on mow- ers and prostrate horses in a confused heap. The horses kicked and plunged wildly to be free. The uninjured drivers seized the struggling horses and succeeded in disengag- ing them before any seri- ous damage was down. An inventory of damages done showed the two injured men, broken mowers and two crippled horses, besides a number of minor breaks and bruises. — June 20, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

Pet Sitters International (PSI) created the day in 1999 to cel- ebrate how dogs are great com- panions and to encour- age adop- tions from local shelters and res- cues. PSI believes that, through events like this, non-pet owners are able to observe, first-hand, the special bond people have with pets and will be en- couraged to adopt a furry friend of their own. In ad- dition, for those who have other types of pets, the en- tire week, leading up to the 26th, is Take Your Pet To Work Week™. The en- tire week is not only fo- cused on celebrating the value of pets in the work- place, but to enforce the idea that adopting a home- less pet is the way to go. Less than 300 busi- nesses participated in the first celebration in 1999. Since then, tens of thou- sands of companies in the United States, Can- ada, The United King- dom, and Australia have participated. In addition, companies such as Face- book, Ben & Jerry's, Ama- zon, Huffington Post, and Google allow dogs to come to work daily because they believe that having dogs in the workplace enhances quality of work. Support- ing this belief are studies conducted by institutions such as Central Michigan University and The Society for Industrial and Organi- zational Psychology. Both found that when dogs were present, employees were more likely to trust each other and collaborate more effectively. In addi- tion, according to a sur- vey conducted by Ameri- can Pet Products Manufac- turers Association (APPA), companies which allowed pets in the workplace had lower absenteeism rates, and employees were more willing to work overtime. As an employer, why would you want to partic- ipate? Many businesses, due to increased costs, have had to reduce em- ployee benefits. This is an affordable benefit that shows employees that their employer not only cares about them but also rec- ognize the importance of pets in their lives. Involve- ment enhances a compa- ny's ties within the com- munity and can augment any existing relation- ships with shelters, res- cue groups, and pet fo- cused businesses. Most of all, participation actively shows that the company supports the adoption of homeless animals. If a company cannot al- low dogs or pets in the workplace, they can still help celebrate and pro- mote the day. A busi- ness could organize a fun- draiser and assign the funds to a local animal charity, shelter or rescue group. Creativity is the key. Businesses can hold wish- list drives, photo contests, etc., to raise money. Use the day to educate employ- ees about local homeless pets, the health benefits of having a pet, and pet care, by inviting a representa- tive from local pet chari- ties and rescues, vet clinics, etc., to come and speak. For those first-time em- ployers who are willing to allow dogs in the work- place for the day, send out a memorandum to all employees regarding the guidelines for the day. Be sure to include where Fido is allowed to go, and what areas are strictly off-lim- its, taking into consider- ation anyone who may be allergic, among other con- siderations. It would also be wise to require that all dogs be spayed or neu- tered and up-to-date on shots. Highlight that dog aggression will not be tol- erated and that the owner of a dog displaying hos- tile behavior will be asked to remove his pet immedi- ately. Outline items such as what to do in case of a "doggy" accident and how others should approach an unfamiliar dog. Employees can ensure the day is a success by observing a few courte- sies. Check to see if any- one is allergic or has a fear of being in the prox- imity of dogs. Be sure that where the animal will be located is safe, and there are no hazard- ous materials easily ac- cessible. First impres- sions are usually lasting, so a trip to the groomer beforehand helps create a good one. Not all ani- mals like being in unfa- miliar environments. If the animal is aggressive, shy, fearful, or not well behaved around strang- ers, it is probably best he stay home. Bring items that help ensure not only the dog's safety and com- fort but coworkers too. A baby gate to block an opening, or a portable kennel, keeps the ani- mal from wandering un- supervised. Bring along food, treats, dishes, chew toys, a leash, paper tow- els, and clean-up bags. Be sure that adequate clean water is available. Locate appropriate areas where the animal can go to the bathroom and be sure to clean up any messes. With a little preparation and consideration, taking your dog to work can be a fun day for humans and canines alike. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter.
