2A Daily News – Wednesday, March 7, 2012 Community people&events Invitation to musicians The Red Bluff Community Band, a wind and percussion ensemble made up of members from the ages of 13 to 92, invites members of the community to come and join their ranks. The band has a nice nucleus of musicians but the ranks are very thin and in desperate need of reinforcements. The band rehearses on Monday evenings 7-9 p.m. at the Pres- byterian Church on Jefferson Street, just north of the Post Office. Rehearsals will be continuing through the month of May, giving new members time to learn a good portion the band's repertoire. The band plays original authentic marches from the 1800 and early 1900s, old standards, broadway and show tunes, older pop tunes such as the Beatles, Bacharach and the Carpenters, folksongs, patriotic music and some light classics. The band performs at 8 p.m. Monday evenings River Park June through August, putting on a one-hour concert for the public in the park. The band rehearses the next hour for the following week's program and concludes it's rehearsal by 10 p.m. People come from as far away as Junction City, Weaverville, Douglas City, Shasta Lake City, Redding and Anderson to play in the band. More musicians are needed, especially clarinets, French horns, trumpets and alto saxo- phones. All band instruments are welcome. There are many folks in the community that used to play in bands but have been away for some time, and they could be a lot of help to the group if they would come and give it a try. There is no audition, just come with your instrument and have some fun. There are three months of rehearsals left. "Music is like typing or riding a bicycle," Red Bluff Community Band Conductor Jay Thiel. "It may have been a long time since you have attempted either one but with a little effort, it will come right back, and you will not get hurt in the process. " Students in middle school with at least two years and preferably three years of experience on their instrument are welcome to join the band. Piano players without any band experience can learn the percussion instruments if they know their note values as well as vocalist who can read music. Instruments in the per- cussion section will be provided. The band needs three more musicians in the percussion section. For more information about joining the band call Thiel at 527-3486, or Micah Stetson, the band's president, at 727-8744. Blocked calls are not accepted.

Strong Ships 4 Carloads Of Fat Stock To Oakland In response to the demand for livestock in northern California, C. L. Stong of this city has been buying con- siderable cattle and hogs in Shasta county of late. He has just shipped three carloads of beef, steers he pur- chase from the Menzel Meat Company. The 77 head averaged 1,100 pounds in weight and constituted a fine lot of steers. — March 7, 1922 I have been married for 43 years. He retired three years ago. We didn't socialize with any of his co-workers, so I didn't know them well. Last Christmas, Bill got a card with no return address. It only had Bill's name on it. I handed it to him so he had to open it in front of me. It was a really nice card from ''Betty'' and a note telling him how much she missed him, their talks, their lunch- es and their personal conversations. She suggested they get together for a holiday lunch. When I asked Bill why he never mentioned Betty to me, he said the lunches didn't mean anything and he probably forgot because they were so insignificant. I don't believe him. We have always told each other everything. He put Betty's card on display with the oth- ers, but I asked him to take it down since it wasn't sent to us as a cou- ple. He said he'd throw it away because it made me unhappy. But, Annie, my instincts said he was lying, so I checked the trash. No card. The other day, I saw his old briefcase, and inside was Betty's card. He had written her phone number on it. If this card meant nothing to him, why keep it? Why lie to me? I love my husband. I want to trust him. I've never had reason not to, but I'm Cowboy poetry Red Bluff Round-Up Kickoff Weekend will include a special event presented by Tehama County Cattle- Women and Red Bluff Rotary Sunrise with Michael Martin Murphey, Campfire on the Road at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 14, at the State Theatre, 333 Oak St. in Red Bluff. On the boot heels of our popular Lone Cowboy release, Murph's first solo recording ever, comes his second solo recording, Campfire on the Road. New from Western Jubilee, and recorded in front of a live audience in 2011 at Western Jubilee Warehouse Theatre, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Annie's Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar shaken to the core. Now I pay close attention when he leaves the house and keep track of how long he's gone. Last week, he said he need- ed to run some errands and was gone for nearly two hours. He claims he ran into ''Dave,'' a former co-work- er, but I wonder if this was Betty's holiday lunch. I hate feeling this way. My kids say to forget about it before I make myself sick. Are they right? Am I just paranoid? — Card Woes Dear Card: No. Your husband is not being totally truthful about Betty, and this creates suspicion and distrust, both of which undermine your relationship. You need to have a long talk with him and explain why his behavior is hurting you. If he cannot reassure you sufficiently, the next step is counseling. Dear Annie: Recently, my wife and I were in Las Vegas and had a terrible experience at a buffet at one of the top hotels. I sent an email to the manager, and she forwarded it to the executive chef. The executive chef apologized, invited us to dine at any of the hotel's restaurants and suggested the most expensive one. He met us at the restaurant and said to order anything we wanted on the menu, starting with wine. The total bill came to $350. I said we should leave a tip, but my wife (who has a restaurant back- ground) said that when the manage- ment invites you, you do not tip. Who is right? — Comped Bill Dear Bill: You are. The waitstaff still had to work to serve you, no matter who paid the bill. Unless there was an added service charge that was then picked up by the owner, the waitstaff should not be penalized because you had a bad experience at another location. Dear Annie: ''Hurt in Califor- nia'' felt bad that she called the police on a brother who might be raising children in a neglectful, pos- sibly abusive environment. As a person whose childhood was very similar to that scenario, I would have been rescued many times over if an adult had had the courage to call Child Protective Ser- vices. I cringe when I hear my aunts say they still wonder whether they should have done the same, but ''didn't want to interfere.'' Please take the risk of sticking up for those kids. They will remember for the rest of their lives that some- one was paying attention. — Shoul- dawouldacoulda Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
