Hope-iumAddic- tion Being a hopeful person is admira- ble. It is wonderful to be someone full of openness to the possibilities and hopeful that ev- erything will work out for the best. I con- sider myself a positive person and that could be translated to being called hopeful, but putting all of your faith in hope can leave you addicted to hope-ium. Action favors the suc- cessful. Success is rela- tive and doesn't mean the same thing to every- one. No matter your defi- nition, action, more than hope, is the key. Action steps make the likelihood of what you are hoping for more of a reality than passively wishing for things to go the way you intend. Do you hope that you lose weight? Do you hope that things work out with the person you are at odds with? Do you hope that you get the job? Do you hope that you have enough money to last un- til the end of the month? In each of these sce- narios hoping is great, in that it puts the issues at the forefront of your mind. It makes you aware of what you want. That is a great thing, but leav- ing it at that, is not going to make things magically happen. Casting your re- sponsibility onto hope is like leaving your child unattended and believing things will all work out for the best. You can't do that. It is irresponsible to think that the most effort you need to take to get a result is to hope that it happens. Being addicted to hope is sort of like a dysfunc- tional relationship. The hope serves you some- times because of the odds. Odds are that some of the things you hope for, will work out without much effort, but the truth is, the bigger things may not. When things don't work out, you blame the universe, God or hope, believing that you wanted it so badly and it didn't materialize. If, after you set the goal or de- velop the hopeful- ness, you map out a plan and take action, the odds increase that you will see the result you are hoping for. As you take actions and succeed, you realize that hoping isn't as key to your outcome as action is. This is true of most areas of life. If you hope to lose weight and you wait for some divine mind shift that dimin- ishes your appetite and makes you crave physi- cal exercise, you're gonna stay fat. If you hope that you get the job, but make hardly any effort to stand out from the other pros- pects, chances are, you're going to remain unem- ployed. Do you hope that your finances man- age themselves and that you have enough money to last the month? If you haven't paid attention to what money is coming in, how you are creating ex- penses and how you are spending, no amount of hope will keep you from being overdrawn. While I wholeheart- edly endorse being an op- timistic, ethereal, prayer- ful and hopeful person, I suggest that action ac- company the notion that everything works out the way it is supposed to or for the best. I absolutely believe in a divine order, God's plan and all of that, but I also believe in op- portunity, free will and our responsibility to co- create what it is we say we want. Don't let hope get a bad reputation. Take ownership of getting what you want from life. Break your hope-ium ad- diction and take action towards what you want.

Contracts awarded for three bridges across sloughs east of Red Bluff SACRAMENTO The Bu- reau of Reclamation Fri- day released environmen- tal documents that analyze the impacts of implement- ing requirements to protect listed species for the opera- tion of the two major water projects in California. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement analyzes the impacts of implement- ing the 2008 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 2009 National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Opinions associated with the coordi- nated long-term operation of the Central Valley Proj- ect and State Water Project. Four public meetings will be held to gather public in- put on the environmental analysis, including one in Red Bluff 6-8 p.m. Thurs- day, Sept. 10 at the Red Bluff Community Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. In August 2008, Recla- mation submitted a biolog- ical assessment to the Ser- vice and NMFS for consul- tation on the impacts of the coordinated long-term operation of the CVP and SWP on listed fish species. The Service and NMFS con- cluded in their BOs, respec- tively, that the coordinated long-term operation of the CVP and SWP did not com- ply with the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the En- dangered Species Act. To remedy this ESA com- pliance issue, the Service and NMFS provided Rea- sonable and Prudent Alter- natives in their respective BOs. Lawsuits were filed challenging Reclamation's acceptance and implemen- tation of the associated RPAs. The Court ruled that Reclamation must conduct an environmental review to determine whether imple- menting the RPAs causes a significant effect to the hu- man environment. The DEIS analyzes five alternatives that consider modifications to opera- tional components of the CVP and SWP from both the RPAs. All of the alter- natives address continued operation of the CVP, in co- ordination with the SWP. Continued operation of the CVP and the SWP is necessary to provide river regulation, improvement of navigation; flood control; water supply for irrigation and domestic uses; fish and wildlife mitigation, protec- tion, and restoration; fish and wildlife enhancement and power generation. The CVP and SWP facilities also provide recreation benefits and must meet water rights and water quality.
