Free alternative fuel training in Chico Transfer Flow will be conducting a no-cost, two-day Alternative Fuel Training class at its Chico facility on Fri- day and Saturday, Feb. 24-25. The class is funded by the California Ener- gy Commission's Alter- native and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Tech- nologies Program, with the intention of deploy- ing alternative fuels such as propane autogas to decrease air and water pollutants, while reducing the environ- mental impact of mod- ern transportation. The class is designed to educate fleet man- agers, auto mechanics, first responders, service and maintenance per- sonnel, college students and others about the characteristics and ben- efits of alternative fuels with emphasis on propane autogas. It will help city and county managers and planners understand how LPG vehicles and other types of alterna- tive fuel vehicles will provide them important compliance options for their AB 32-required Climate Action Plans.

Sometimes they are too painful, sometimes we don't know how to man- age them and sometimes we just think that if we turn a blind eye, things will work themselves out. They won't. Failing to address any issue only festers the issue making it far bigger than it need be. Ignoring truths or issues causes unnecessary anxiety that is far more painful than the issue at hand. My daughter and I went in for some blood work last week. At the end of the draw, the technician tried to put tape on my arm to hold the cotton ball where she had drawn the blood. I asked her to wait and not use the tape. I had learned from past experience that tak- ing that tape off hurt worse than the actual blood draw. Sometimes we tape over the holes in our lives, but eventu- ally that tape has to come off and often times it takes hair and skin with it and that hurts worse than the original poke. I have a problem with ignoring my banking balance. Even as I have gotten older and a lot more financially secure, I resist looking at the bank account on line. I have this deep seated anxiety that comes from some past experience of brokeness where I couldn't make ends meet. To this day, my anxiety goes through the roof in the time it takes to enter my password, answer my protective question and click the account to reveal my bal- ance. I know that ignoring the bank balance has dire conse- quences. Being denied at a cash register would be far more embarrassing than suffering the pain of looking at a bunch of numbers on a computer screen. My mind knows that I am being irrational, but the young single mom who had to make decisions about whether to buy diapers and formula or pay the PG&E screams with anxiety and fear. Well fear is only False Evidence Appearing Real. Nothing ignored gets better that comes over you when you face what ever you have been avoiding. Many success- ful people will tell you that they grew, learned some of life's best lessons or felt pride when they dealt with the demons in their lives. Faydra Rector You Matter on its own. Nothing left unsaid or undone rights itself without you addressing it. Even when you think you have dismissed the problem you have simply relegated it to the subcon- scious mind where it will use you like it's puppet to act out and sabotage your life. If you fail to address issues in your life, they will continue to rear up in your life in ways you may never think of. There is the most wonderful peace Who do you need to deal with? How do you need to affect change in your life? What do you know you could be, do or have if you simply addressed an issue in your life? This life is but an instant. To live it underachieving is an insult to yourself and the world who could benefit from you. Stop ignoring your issues. Start being an active participant in your own life.
