Forthelast20years,Di- ane Penner of Di'z Art In- struction has been teach- ing art in Tehama County. This summer, however, was the first time that she offered a Master Artists Workshop to students of this county. With the help and part- nership of the Tehama County Arts Council grant from the California Arts Council Plate Program as well as several private do- nors, Diane was able to ex- tend and fund scholarships to her 2015 Summer Art Camps, which she held in June and July. Penner said she was pleased to offer artists ages 8-18 a new experi- ence in art by studying famous master artists' work. The students not only learned some intriguing history of each artist, but applied specific painting techniques used by those master artists with acryl- ics on canvas. Each student not only had clear direction of how to create an art piece step by step, they took home their finished piece of "Blue Dog with Flowers" inspired by George Ro- drigue, or their own inter- pretation of Vincent Van Gogh's "Wheatfield with Cypresses." Several students hand wrote an expression of their gratitude for being spon- sored by writing cards to the donors thanking them for the opportunity to at- tend this unique fine art summer camp. ARTS Master Artists have summer camp success The property of Tuscan Springs, or as much of it as will be necessary to satisfy a claim of about $43,000, will be sold at public auc- tion as the result of a de- cree handed down in the superior court Friday by Judge Ellison. P. J. Dowl- ing who holds a mort- gage against the prop- erty brought suit for fore- closure on the grounds of non-payment of principal and interest and has been awarded judgement. W. P. Johnson is attorney for Dowling. Tuscan Springs is one of the most famous health resorts in Northern Cali- fornia. The property con- sists of several hundred acres of land, a fine ho- tel, bath house, small res- idences, etc. and a large number of mineral springs of unquestioned medici- nal value. It is part of the estate of the late Ed. B. Walbridge, and the fore- closure suit was brought against his widow, Martha C. Walbridge, who is exec- utrix of the estate. — Oct. 2, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

Paddy Chayefsky's "Network" (1976) con- tains a par- ticularly strong one. In it, How- ard Beale, a fired national newscaster (played by the late Peter Finch), ral- lies his viewers to channel their anger over the cur- rent state of the country. Almost four decades later, it is nothing less than un- canny how prescient were the character's words. Says Beale: "I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad… we know things are bad — worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like ev- erything everywhere is go- ing crazy…" The famous scene cul- minates in Beale hollering, "I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your win- dows, open them and stick your head out and yell — 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any- more!' Things have got to change. … You've got to say, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.'" Just yesterday, I saw a crawler on a news chan- nel declare that accord- ing some poll, the word describing best our elec- torate for 2016 is "Angry." Captain obvious to the rescue please. It doesn't take a degree in psychol- ogy to see that. The Mid- dle East appears to be ex- ploding even more than before, if that's possible. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are flooding Eu- rope. China is hacking the United States. Russia is booming in Syria. Our cli- mate is heating up while at the same time drying out. At least one of the main presidential candi- dates is a boorish, loud- mouth whose idea of in- telligent conversation is to call people "losers" or in- sult their looks. Civil dis- course? That's almost a quaint concept. I don't like this turn of events anymore than any- one else but I do under- stand from where it rises. I too am angry. I also know I am not alone. The fum- ing path on which we now find ourselves is not an isolated trail; it's more like Madison Avenue at rush hour. I get it that I am not — at least in this venue — a political or news com- mentator. I write a "life- style piece" on wellness, motivation, and change, leaving the "hard news" and punditry for oth- ers. Yet, it is foolish to deny that one's emotions are disconnected from our perception of how the world is turning; so it stands to reason that the state of current af- fairs is, at least, a men- tal health issue, if not so much more. Maybe anger is only a defense to quell the sense of panic that — on a regular basis — rises up and seizes us around the throat. For when nei- ther angry nor frightened, what remains is a sense of almost despondent, dark- ening, despair. This state of affairs is not the man- ner in which my genera- tion promised to leave our planet for its children. We had such high hopes, great expectations, and vast vi- sions, which now seem an impossible fairy tale. The state of the world therefore affects me — and you — intimately. But — and here comes that unrelenting, undy- ing optimist — maybe, just possibly, please God, could this sense of frustration and anger be a catalyst to create a better world? As Benjamin Franklin said, "We shall all hang together, or most assur- edly, we shall all hang sep- arately." We are bound as one, like it or not. Is it feasible that history will record this era as the period where humanity turned the corner, realized our potential, and started moving forward as one? Could a better, health- ier world burst forth from these painful flames? We can always hope; we still have that.
