A whole lot of papers Last Sunday morning we pur- chased our usual Sunday Paper, as we unfolded it there was a huge bulk of advertising inserts. As we quickly looked through them to decide which ones would be looked at, we discov- ered a total of ten copies of one of the advertising flyers. It wasn't one that we were very interested in, it seemed horrendous to have included so many copies. I suspect someone who folds papers every week was in a hurry to get rid of a few copies fast. My ques- tion is: didn't they cost contributors and buyers a few cents and possibly dollars to add the insert to the paper? Personally, I want to read the "news" first and look at the inserts after I am through learning about the happenings in our world. I will not name the newspaper this time, perhaps someone will read the multiple handouts and decide on a better way to interest read- ers. Okay, so I am not in the best mood, I believe I will blame it on the lack of sleep lately. The wind this week also was a challenge. Each of the dogs that live in this house has taken to digging their way to get out of the back yard. They are very clever dogs and keep trying to find new ways to check out the neighborhood. As I sit on the back deck I can observe their continuous tries at escap- ing the yard. Baxter perks up his ears and draws in every sound in the area. Bella is covered with not so white long hair. She definitely needs a bath! She utterly stinks after rolling around in various mud holes she has created in the yard. Now Baxter is a slick young dog, he doesn't roll in the mud. Baxter has no dis- gusting odor; he is a small size Dachshund who loves his master. Are they funny dogs, do yard. Carolyn Barber they love their elderly owners? The answer seems to be a barking yes! They do like to tear up papers outside but do not even try such an attempt to tear up the ten extra papers from the unknown newspaper. It is getting cooler outside and the frogs have started singing or croaking as it is usually named. The dogs stop to perk up their ears and tilt their heads as they try to identify the location of the frog sound. I have a feeling that as spring comes to us I will have a lot of repairs to do in the backyard in order to make us and the dogs a little more appreciative of a nice looking back- The First 5 Tehama Children and Families Commis- sion will host a public hearing, Feb. 28, to discuss the new five-year strategic plan. The plan, "Investing in School Readiness," is the cul- mination of a two-year process that involved communi- ty stakeholders, grant recipients, commissioners and staff. With a goal of creating stability in children's services at a time when county and state budgets have greatly reduced funding for such services, the commission has been working to continue integrating services between agencies and organizations to improve children's health, increase kindergarten readiness and help families with parenting and other issues. The public is invited to join in the discussion at 3 p.m., at the Tehama County Department of Education, D NEWSAILY HOW TO REACH US RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 127, NUMBER 76 On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area (800) 479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Fax: (530) 527-5774 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

She took him off all of his medica- tions. Annie's A year into the marriage, my hus- band and I had a son together. That same year, D.J. was diag- nosed with ADHD and aggressive behavior and was put on medication. D.J. is now 14.

I told my husband he could visit D.J. as often as he wanted, and for six weeks, my husband spent every day with his older son, while our kids barely saw him. The problem is, D.J. will be coming to visit again this summer.

It looks as though the dogs will enjoy my tossing out unneeded items. Having saved a lot of junk for too many years, the clean out may entertain said dogs for a long time. Yes, I admit that I have stored too many paper objects far too many years. I am back on the subject of too much paper in the news- paper and way too much in my sheds. As usual I have had to recognize the fact of way I definitely did too much saving in the fifty some years I have had sheds. I have tossed the 10 extra paper inserts into the recycle container as a symbol that I will toss a whole lot more into the container day by day.

Savage scion scares second spouse this is my husband's son, I must protect our younger kids from his violence. My husband is upset that I don't want D.J. in our home. Please help. — Scared to Death Dear Scared: D.J. sounds like a very dis- turbed young man who takes his hostility out on your children. Based on his track record, he cannot be trusted around them. It must be difficult for your husband to accept that his son is so violent, but we think having D.J. stay with his grandparents is sensible. We hope your husband will consider get- ting some counseling for him, and also for the entire family. Dear Annie: My 90- year-old mother is an Alzheimer's patient. In her younger days, she was very active in the commu- nity and belonged to many organizations and social clubs. Mom doesn't get out of her assisted-living com- munity much. Occasion- ally, I take her in her wheelchair to a local restaurant or a doctor's appointment. Because of her former high profile in the community, many people recognize her, but she no longer knows them. I always tell them to please identify themselves so she doesn't get con- fused. Yet even with this warning, some people insist on saying, ''Hi, Mary! Do you know who I am?'' Of course, I immedi- ately tell Mom their name K W I K K U T S Family Hair Salon $200 REGULAR HAIRCUT off with coupon Not good with other offers 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 Reg. $13.95 Expires 2/29/12 and how she knows them so she can put them in context. But what amazes me is that some people have the nerve to ask, ''Why did you tell her? I wanted to see if she recog- nized me!'' Mind you, she often does not know me. Why on earth would she remember some acquain- tance from 30 years ago? Mom knows enough to be aware that she has a problem with her memo- ry. The shock and despair on her face during these encounters is so sad, it makes me want to smack these idiots. I'm amazed at the stupidity of some people and wanted to tell them so. — Pissed Off in El Paso Dear El Paso: It is always wise to identify yourself when approach- ing someone. It is both inconsiderate and egotisti- cal to assume everyone knows who you are. This is especially important when dealing with a per- son with Alzheimer's. Thanks for saying so. Dear Annie: I've been reading about the barking dogs. Many years ago, we lived next to a lady who had chickens. I called and told her that her rooster was waking us up too early in the morning. She promised it wouldn't hap- pen again. The next morning, the rooster began to crow. I got out of bed and called her on the phone. When she answered, I began to crow like a rooster.
