TheDeltaKappaGamma Society International, Beta Lambda Chapter, has hon- ored three key women ed- ucators in Tehama County this year. On March 14 at the Area II Spring Luncheon, Gretchen Allen received the Service to Chapter Award for her superb work dur- ing the past three years as Chapter Treasurer. In keeping with its mis- sion to promote both profes- sional and personal growth of women educators and ex- cellence in education, Beta Lambda presented awards to two other educators on June 16. Becky Huskey received the DKG Professional Ser- vice Award in recognition of her wonderful contri- bution to keeping music alive in the hearts of chil- dren. Becky inspires both her students and commu- nity members. In addition to teaching music at An- telope School, she has cre- ated a fiddle program for children, is involved with the Western Open Fiddle Competition, and has orga- nized countless community performances. Stacey Garrett received the DKG Community Ser- vice Award in recognition of her work helping students in Tehama County to expand their career horizons. As U.C. Davis Gear Up Site Co- ordinator in Tehama County for College Options, Stacey enthusiastically collaborates with local schools, provides up-to-date college informa- tion, organizes student trips to college campuses, and as- sists our students and fami- lies in making informed de- cisions about post-second- ary education. DELTAKAPPAGAMMA Threelocalwomen educators honored Words matter. What we say to ourselves in our quiet spaces gives birth to ac- tions. Life is the conse- quences of those events. If we wish to alter the courseofour existence, to change its path, or to enjoy more the process,wemustbeginwith the thoughts that steer it. For example, let us take the overused, beaten down, threadbare expres- sion: "I'm going on a diet." At the point when the peo- ples of all nations unite in solidarity and appoint me Head Honcho in charge of Global Linguistics, I shall ban the expression; I find its limited options lead to broken promises, loss of joy, low self esteem, and even- tual failure. In the stark and barren world where one "goes on a diet," it automatically im- plies one must — at some time — go off a diet. All is black and white; there is no gray; only "on" or "off," "good" or "bad," "following the diet" or "cheating." The gradations of in-between, whichfillmostoflife,donot exist as, in that thought pro- cess, one cannot be "a little off" anymore than one can be "a little pregnant." This perfect/awful thinking supposedly drives us to be perfect, which is an impossibility, so we inevita- bly label ourselves as "fail- ures." Those of us who are recovering perfectionists know well the mantra of the dieter who has crossed to the dark side: "As long as I blew it, I might as well really blow it! I can start again tomorrow." (or "Mon- day," or "next year"…) Once I have failed, I might as well get all of the "failing" out of my system, cleaning myself so I will be ready for to be perfect next time (ig- noring the fact that it too will end up the same way). Success in anything is rarely cut and dried. Rather the definition var- ies from one person to the next; sometimes even within oneself, depending on circumstances. Success is fluid; it requires parsing and nuance. More times than not, it is a two-step forward, one-step back- ward progression. In the sphere of success, one does not have it one day, lose it the next, regain it the third. She is more successful than she is not, learns from mis- takes, makes adjustments — and therefore moves in a generally successful di- rection. Successful people have setbacks; the differ- ence is they don't see them as the end of the line. Only in mathematics and science, can lines can be clearly drawn. Two plus two will always equal four. In matters related of the heart and mind, crystal clear, straight-line delinea- tion is not possible. We are not rigid robotroids fitting precision machined, pre-or- dained molds. One cannot apply a formula to us and expect an exact result. We are too complex — and too human — for that. The nice thing about that is if we accept that we will make mistakes, and can find a way to label them not as "failures," but rather "feedback," we can adjust, change, and even excel. Words do matter; choose them wisely. Scott"Q"Marcusis a nationally known weight loss expert for baby boomers and the CRP (Chief Recovering Perfectionist) of www. ThisTimeIMeanIt.com.

POLICE LOGS The dog license ordi- nance has been out of use so long in Red Bluff that its sudden resurrection and return to active ser- vice has puzzled some of the dog owners of the town to remember its provisions. The city trustees have in- structed the marshal to en- force this ordinance and collect the two dollars per head tax on each dog ac- cording to its provisions. The city marshal has duly empowered John E. Neas- ham to go among the dog owners of the town and ei- ther sell them a tag for $2 or take the dog. — June 26, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
