It was sub- sequently put on loan but due to mislabeling was lost until 1964 when it was rediscovered at The British Museum, identified from previous slices, and returned it to the Cal- ifornia Academy. The Paradise Gem and Mineral Club is grateful the California Academy of Science has loaned the "Oroville" to the show for its first return to Butte County in 118 years. In keeping with the theme of the show there will be many other meteorites on display. The show will have many other educational and youth activities, mineral exhibits, a raffle, silent rock auctions, fluorescent mineral display and demonstrating lapidary specialists in silver smithing, faceting and stone carving. The show hosts many of the finest rock and mineral dealers in the North State, Oregon and Nevada. The deal- ers provide a wide array of products and supplies; includ- ing books, specimen minerals, rare rocks, fossils, crystals, beads, finished jewelry, polished stones, jewelry making supplies and lapidary equipment. For the gold bugs, there will be metal detecting equipment and gold panning. The profit from the raffle is earmarked for local schol- arships and community education in mineralogy and lap- idary.

Red Bluff Art Associa- tion's artist of the month for March is Patti Hask- ins, who has won many awards and accolades for her creativity from an early age. "I'm sure Patti was born the unique, strong, independent artist she is today," said Association's President Connie Maxey. "Her works whether painting or photography express the depth of her artistic passion." Patti was born and raised in Southern Cali- fornia where her father worked as a representa- tive for Douglas, which required a great deal of travel and many moves. Patti not only enjoyed roaming the beaches, but her favorite spot was a Manhattan Beach art sup- ply shop, when most other kids enjoyed the candy store. In 4th grade, Patti won a VFW poster competi- tion. "It was a poppy called, 'Peace on Each Petal,'" she said. "This pleased my mother, so I set out to win mother's favor by competing." While in high school she won the Sunnyvale City Seal Competition which was only replaced with a new design in the '60s. Other awards fol- lowed in college where she earned a degree in education and eventually a life-time credential. Patti moved to Red- ding to care for her aging mother in 1984 after 33 years of marriage and raising four children. Here she headed an art program for Bella Vista School's K-8 grades.

In another venture, she and a college friend opened the Stage Stop Cafe which was formerly known as Dales Station. The friend left after a year and Patti continued the operation for 12 more years until lack of water forced clo- sure. Recent years Patti has enjoyed living in Dairyville and now claims Red Bluff as home. Even though family, work and business activi- ties curtailed her artistic endeavors, Patti always found some means of expression. She complet- ed a mural for the Capito- la Mall. She was chosen for the international edi- tion of Baron's Who's Who in 1991, also Baron's Artists of the Pacific Rim. Patti stated that she was pleased to be among the 2007 winners in the Cone-Kimball clock tower "Cards for a Cause" competition and was delighted to see it become a reality—"a Phoenix from the ashes of time." Patti's favored medi- ums are watercolor and acrylic. Favorite artists and photographers who have influenced her cre- ativity are Dorothea Lange, Immogene Cun- ningham, Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keefe, Andrew Wyeth. Patti recently finds photogra- phy to be a satisfying means of expression. One of her photos was accept- ed into a juried group show in Chico's Gallery 9. This exhibit entitled, "Under the Influence: Ansel Adams and His Legacy," represented pho- tographers from India, Canada, Israel and across the U.S. Pattie felt very honored to be one of the 60 selected entrants. Patti is active in Tehama County Art Council and has served on the Board and as secre- tary. She also enjoys the Red Bluff Art Association and served a term as sec- retary. The Red Bluff Art Association bringing art opportunities, education and enrichment to the North Valley, meets 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Snug Harbor Mobile Home Park Recreation Center, 600 Rio Vista Ave. in Red Bluff.
