The third annual Arlo Stroing Memorial Scholar- ship and Range Manage- ment Internship has been awarded to Grace Wood- mansee of Chico. Grace is attending Cal- ifornia State University in Chico to earn her Animal Science degree. She has been working as an in- tern this summer along- side Josh Davy, the farm advisor for the Univer- sity of California Coop- erative Extension office in Tehama County, where she has been gaining first- hand experience with live- stock and rangeland re- search projects. Grace's desire is to pur- sue a career in Range Sci- ence, contributing to the agricultural industry and support for the produc- ers. Studying rangeland science and management has motivated her to learn more about maintaining a balance between social, environmental and pro- duction issues in agricul- ture. Her undergraduate studies and research have motivated her to pursue a career in range science by conducting applied re- search that has inspired her career path in range- land science and manage- ment. Arlo Stroing passed away in December of 2011. The Hemsted and Stroing families came together to honor and carry on Arlo's deep love of rangeland, ranching lifestyle and his cattle production legacy by creating this combined Internship and scholar- ship opportunity for youth studying range manage- ment. The $1,000 Scholarship along with the summer internship provide an op- portunity for students to see first-hand what is in- volved in range manage- ment and how research shapes the future of the industry. Arlo would have been greatly honored to be a part of the Grace's future goals to improve the cattle industry. AGEDUCATION AnnualArloStroingMemorial Scholarship, Internship awarded COURTESYPHOTO Pictured, from le , are Faye Stroing and Grace Woodmansee, who was recently awarded the third annual Arlo Stroing Memorial Scholarship and Range Management Internship. The first week of August is designated as National Farmers Market Week and Tehama County's five mar- kets are in full gear this week as annual local fruit and vegetable production is reaching its peak. Tehama County is ranked by a UCLA study as the second worst perform- ing region in the state for adult obesity rates. Dur- ing the past 10 years those rates have increased al- most 14 percent. To coun- teract this trend, it is re- ported that an increase in fruit and vegetable con- sumption decreases fat and sugar intake among children and their parents thereby reducing obesity. With one market in oper- ation year-around and four other markets open weekly during the summer, there is always a place to purchase local, fresh fruits and vege- tables. The following local markets are scheduled: Frontier Village Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sat- urdays in The Home Depot parking lot year round. We d n e s d ay M a r - ket Downtown, 5-8 p.m. in downtown Red Bluff through Sept. 9. Northside Farmers Mar- ket, 5-7 p.m. Thursdays at 6th and Colusa streets in Corning through Aug. 27. Market by the River, 7:30 a.m. to noon Saturdays at 100 Main St. in Red Bluff through Sept. 26. Lake California Farm- ers Market, open only to Lake California residents, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays at the Club House through Sept. 27. Farmers Market Week in Tehama County is being supported by the Commu- nity Food Alliance, a pro- gram of Tehama Together.

SHOP LOCALLY Observe Farmers Market Week for better health The midnight ride of Paul Revere astride a fi- ery steed had nothing on the one taken Friday af- ternoon by Wesley Bak- ervil astride a box car in the local yards, and mov- ing picture concerns look- ing for thrillers should be willing to pay him an at- tractive sum to repeat his thrilling escape from the summit of a refrigerator car the fractional part of a second before the wreck occurred. It all happened shortly after one o'clock yester- day afternoon on the spure track leading from the main line to the Brown & Doane Lumber yards. There were eight empty re- frigerator cars on the spur, between them and the lumber yard was a box car that had just been emptied of blocks by Henry Scha- fer. A carload of lumber had just arrived fro the Brown & Doane yards and in order to get to the yards it was necessary to pull out the nine empty cars. The switch engine and crew went down onto the spur after the string and Bakervil mounted the re- frigerator cars farthest from the engine in order to flag the engineer on down to the empty box car. The switch engine backed into the first refrigerator car and made the coupling. Then it was discovered that some passing pedes- trian climbing between the cars had leaned heav- ily on the lever that pulls out the clutch (or whatever they call it) on the draw head coupling, thus re- leasing four cars from the others. The impact of the coupling started these four down the spur, which has a perceptible grade. The switch engine and crew could do nothing but stand idly and watch Bak- ervil on the front car of the runaway string rushing to his fate. Bakervil thought he was tied to the other four cars and engine and gave them the highball to pick up the box car. He picked up the box car all right, but when he failed to stop he began to real- ize everything was not as it should be and look- ing back perceived he was wending his way unac- companied. By that time the five cars had almost reached the bulkhead at the end of the spur track, on the other side of which a large shed which housed a big donkey engine. Bak- ervil grasped all these de- tails at once and immedi- ately recalled having left his purse on the bench at the round-house, or some- thing like that. Anyway, when the crash came he was safe and sane and far from the wrecks of man or box car either. The box car which bore the brunt of the collision escaped with a broken air rod and one or two other minor bruises. The don- key engine and its resi- dence were pointed south by southwest and started for Corning. The house was pretty badly wrecked but the engine unhurt. No blame can be at- tached to anyone for the accident unless the per- son who disconnected the string of refrigerator cars can be located. —Aug.7,1915 100 YEARS AGO... Lo ca l ma n in a real thriller Switchman demonstrates some speed departing from a near wrecked car My, but we've become a grouchy lot, haven't we? Maybe it's climate change, or the econ- omy; who knows? It could be the align- ment of the stars for all I know, but we've got our cranky pants hitched on and we're wearing 'em a little too snug around our sensi- tive parts. Okay, maybe YOU are not cranky, but many of us are, and if you won't own it, I will. I'm at the supermar- ket loading up on low- calorie, high-fiber, sugar- free, non-fat, no-taste foods that I force down my gullet in order to keep my weight in check. I really want chocolate, french fries, and chips; but that's not happen- ing, so I'm feeling de- prived. Adding insult to injury, I don't have time for this errand, but since my refrigerator resem- bles an arctic cave, I'm cooling my jets in the check out line. The lady in front of me waits un- til after the clerk has to- taled all her groceries be- fore she takes out her checkbook, enough of a trigger to kick my in- ternal curmudgeon into overdrive, "Hey lady!" the voice in my head screeches. "You didn't re- alize you were going to have to pay for this be- fore hand? Couldn't you have check ready when you got in line … be- sides you've never heard of debit cards?!!" Since I won't comment out loud (I'm too "polite"), I roll my eyes, exhale with ex- asperation (making sure she hears it), shift my feet restlessly, cross my arms, and set my attitude to low burn. Or have you ever had your cell phone drop a call? Jeeze! That irks me! It wasn't even a partic- ularly important call, and to be honest, I didn't want to talk to him any- way, accidentally select- ing accept instead of de- cline because the layout of the phone is so stupid. Nonetheless, I'm now heavily vested in com- miserated about how his 62-inch 3-D TV's glasses suck. Really? That's your grievance? There are people who would love simply to witness a sun- rise, and you're grouchy because your nifty cool absolutely amazing in- vention doesn't come with rechargeable bat- teries? I mean, come on! Yet, I'm empathiz- ing — at least until his call explodes in a burst of static and I detonate a blast of curse words at my phone, cellular car- rier, and even the gov- ernment for allowing such inferior systems to get to market. Time for a chill pill; on the grand scale of life, most of what ran- kles us is not even a blip on the radar screen of "real" problems; it's mi- croscopic. Half the time, we don't even remem- ber it long enough for it to survive the ride home, let alone why we got so upset in the first place; yet we're singing "ain't it awful" with the volume on full. I've got a phone in my pocket that connects me to anyone on the planet, lets me watch family movies, listen to music, and take photographs. It's got more power than the entire computer sys- tem on the Apollo space crafts; and I have the gall to launch a hissy fit be- cause I have to push re- dial? Or I complain about having to drop a few pounds — while half the planet would beg for what I throw away? Spoiled, you're table's waiting. We don't live in a golly-gosh-gee-willikers fog of happy thoughts and pink ponies; I'm not saying that either. Some- times, life is tough, sure. But equally true is that most of our "problems" are better than what most of the people on most of the planet face most of the time. For that I need to be mostly grateful.
