EDUCATION FIELDTRIPDAY InthepastIhavewrit- ten on the subject of be- ing highly sensitive and how it keeps peo- ple from having the outcomes they truly want. How high sensi- tivity actu- ally drives people away and creates a sense of fragility that can annoy others. Pointing out highly sensitive be- haviors is one thing, but stopping the behavior is another. First off, highly sen- sitive people have built a hedge of protection around themselves that justifies the behavior and they have most likely trained everyone around them to accommodate that behavior or face con- sequences. The people closest to a highly sensitive person may be the least likely to call out the behavior. High sensitivity is mostly recognized when outside forces come into play. When friends stop send- ing invitations to get to- gether, when promotions aren't extended at work and when there is a sense of being at odds with multiple people over time. Becoming anti-frag- ile takes commitment be- cause letting go of being easily wounded, means you are taking responsi- bility for your own pain. It means dropping the habit of blaming someone else if you aren't happy, satisfied, in love, thin, popular or otherwise liv- ing the life you say you want. It is hard to admit that it is nobody's fault if you aren't satisfied. Most likely there are years of programming that need to be undone, but it can happen. One of the best ways I know is to look to anti-frag- ile people you know and watch how they operate. What do they do differ- ently and start to mimic their behavior. Read books like The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine N. Aron. Get into therapy and really peel back the curtain about why you are so sensitive and fragile. Essentially, there are many psychological rea- sons why people are so fragile, but the bottom line is if fragility is keep- ing you from the success you want, you must stop being so easily wounded. You must cut out the con- nections you have to those who shame you, be- little you, gossip about you and worse. You must engage in activities that have a higher purpose than survival and just getting by. You must be of service to others who can never pay you back. You must stop internal- izing everything you see and hear to make it about you. You must get in touch with who you are, what you like and stop trying to fit your round life into someone else's square hole. I'm not saying becom- ing anti-fragile will be easy, but it may be the single best thing you do to turn your life around and it creates a new foun- dation for you to have the things you say you want out of life.

EMPLOYMENT Workshopongettingastatejob 400,000 bricks are now in the process of "cook- ing" at the brickyard of the O'Connor Brothers, just south of Red Bluff. The kiln, which measures 35 x 100 feet and is about 15 feet high, was completed last Friday and the fire was started that evening. The entire mass is now at al- most a white heat and will be kept at that temperature until next Friday evening when the bricks will have been burned sufficiently. It will require about 15 days for the bricks to cool so that they can be handled after the fire is allowed to die out. — Aug. 25, 1915 100 YEARS AGO... 400 ,0 00 b ri ck s no w bu rn in g Big brick kiln at edge of city spectacle worth visiting at night The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Po- lice Department, Red Bluff Fire, Tehama County Sher- iff's Department, Corning Police Department, Corning Fire, Cal Fire and California Highway Patrol logs.

POLICE LOGS SUSANVILLE Lassen Na- tional Forest has hired Steve Griffin to be the or- ganization's forest fire management officer. "Steve will be a great addition to our team," said Forest Supervisor Dave Hays. "He brings both strong fire management ex- perience and excellent lead- ership skills to the Lassen." Griffin began his Forest Service career in 1988 at the Sequoia National For- est as a fire lookout, in time working his way up to be- come a member of the en- gine crew. He left to take on a three-year assignment as a hotshot crew member at Sequoia/Kings Canyon Na- tional Parks before return- ing to Sequoia National Forest as a hotshot squad leader. He subsequently worked as a fire engine op- erator and engine captain before becoming a hotshot superintendent and district battalion chief. Most recently, Griffin served as the fire training officer at the Forest Ser- vice's Northern California Operations center, where he provided regional over- sight for training programs, supervised workforce devel- opment initiatives, and rec- ommended changes to pro- grams and policy at both regional and national lev- els. His success depended upon strong cooperation with other regions, as well as federal, state, and local agencies and stakeholders. "I'm honored to have this opportunity help lead the fire program at Las- sen National Forest," said Griffin. "I look forward to working with both the For- est and our cooperators to advance an already strong program to protect the re- gion's natural resources."
