Secrets to help you keep going Attitude, the way you respond to life and all of its circum- stances, is more important than anything. It is more important than the past, than struggle or success, than education or experience. It is more important than how much money you have, how much you owe, what you would like to do or where you would like to go. While I have never actually experienced them in person, I've seen pictures of the cables leading to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. Those I know who have completed the climb tell me the final ascent up the sheer granite surface of that majes- tic landmass is by far the most chal- lenging. The cables are there to make sure climbers reach the top safely. Once you begin the last leg of the journey and finally see the cables, you stand there, tilt your head to the sky, view the final hun- dred yards or so that lead to the top, and experience terror like you've never known. You realize you have no choice but to finish the trip. At that moment, you are more thankful than you could ever imag- ine for the cables that will become Families looking for fun, educational activities during spring break can take advantage of extend- ed hours at the Gateway Science Museum, which will be open noon to 5 p.m., Monday, March 19 through Friday, March 23, with hands-on science activities. Visitors can explore Toys: The Inside Story, which includes 12 hands- on stations illustrating the simple mechanisms com- monly found in toys, and lets visitors create their own toy-like combina- tions of gears, pulleys, the guardrails you need to pull yourself to the top, not only for a spectacular view, but also for the feeling of accom- plishment. The secret for how to keep going when we feel like quitting is to erect "cables" in our lives ahead of time, before we need them. When we face difficult days and situations, the help we need to make it to the top will already be in place, waiting to protect us from our own fears and self-defeating attitudes. One way to erect cables for your financial circumstances is to memorize a list of all the reasons you will not give in to debt. Drill the rea- sons into your mind so deeply that you could recite them in your sleep. These reasons will act as your cables to hang on to when you feel weak and vulnerable. Here are some examples: 1. I don't choose debt because it presumes unfairly on my future. 2. It is wrong for me to spend linkages, cams and cir- cuits. Visitors will discov- er the worm gear and cam mechanisms that make Jack jump out of his box, learn why it takes a steady hand to win at the classic game Operation and cre- ate crazy optical illusions by connecting movable pulleys. In the Newberry Gallery, visitors can investigate the science of sound, music and hearing with Noise! Visitors can create the soundtrack for a science fiction film, gen- erate intricate designs in sand without ever touch- money I do not have. 3. There is always a way out; I will not stop until I find it. 4. When I step out in faith, I unleash God's power in my life. 5. I trust even when I do not understand. 6. I do the right thing even when I don't feel like it. 7.

Once you have these truths planted deeply in your heart and mind, you will be able to call on them for strength in moments when you feel weak. You will have the strength you need to overcome your quitting point and get back on track in no time!

Arrests • Efrain Corona Castil- lo, 23, of Red Bluff was arrested Wednesday morning at South Main and Diamond Avenue when he was pulled over. Officers were looking for Castillo after he reported- ly tried to hit a man with a baseball bat at about 6:30 a.m. at the Cabernet Apartments. Castillo reportedly went to his estranged wife's apart- ment and chased her boyfriend with a bat through the parking lot. The victim learned the front windshield and tail- lights of his 2001 GMC truck were smashed as well, which may explain why a resident reported hearing a series of loud popping sounds minutes earlier in the area. Castillo left the scene in a blue 2004 Mazda and was seen joining the state assembly from 1965- 1974. He was then elected to the United States House of Representa- tives, serving from 1974-1981. Returning to California, he served in the State Assembly from 1988 to 1996. He was elected to the State Senate in 1998 and was Speaker Pro Tempore until 2004 when he was retired by term limits. Burton championed legislation providing health insurance for Cali- fornia workers, improved care for the mentally ill, homeless and strength- ening the Women, Infant and Chil- dren (WIC) supplemental nutrition program. He was also known for minutes later on South Main Street. He was charged with force or assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism causing more than $400 damage. Bail was set at $45,000.

Corning Police officers asked sheriff's deputies to look into it. No animals were found.

Hines was driving west on Gyle Road when she reportedly had a seizure, causing her vehicle to drive through the intersec- tion with 99W. The Chevy went onto the west shoulder where it went up a small embank- ment and through a wire fence, before going air- borne into an orchard and rolling into a field. The Chevy had major damage.
