Gallery opens On Jan. 20, Laurel Sparrow opened a fine art gallery and antique store at 644 Main St. in Red Bluff. Sparrow, and her husband Dan Kratz, moved from Sacramento to Red Bluff in September 2009. Sparrow has delivered high quality fine art and antiques to the general public since 1997. She had a successful gallery in Solana Beach, special- izing in Early California art, along with a large collection of Socialist realism painted during the Russian Soviet era. The gallery offers Native American items, Navajo jewelry, antique furniture and the overall theme is dedi- cated to pre-1940 original works by well listed American artists. Typical scenes depict the old west, Native American, northern California landscapes, wildlife and cowboys. Nationally known Red Bluff artist, Jamie Means, will show his works at the store. The grand opening is under way and clients can regis- ter to win one of Jamie's signed and numbered prints. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and Sparrow can be reached at 527-2783.

Do not impose mediocrity on our youth Last week I was part of a very i m p o r t a n t conversation that included m a k i n g c h o i c e s about the future of a teen. During the meeting I was shocked when one of the partici- pants went out of his way to share reasons he thought a child's dream may be out of reach and therefore she should consider other options. I was struck by the thought that someone who has the position that he does would not realize the dam- age he caused. Thankfully, I was there to undo any permanent harm. When we are in a position of per- suasion or authority over children, it is paramount that we recognize our power to encourage or demoti- vate every time we interact. Those in certain professions that lend themselves to child development or otherwise impact a child's esteem need to make sure of a few things before they open their mouths. Everything is possible for every child on this Earth. Our duty as adults is to encourage, provide guidance and mentorship to show children what is possible. It does not matter what you have seen in the past, what the trend is or what you perceive as possible. It only matters what the child believes. If you have a child before you who thinks they can, you have a duty to support them, encourage them and model for them what it will take to succeed. Here is what not to do: Don't tell a child who has a dream that most don't make it, because some do, and you aren't clairvoyant. Don't tell a child that they don't have what it takes, tell them what it takes and let them make the choices to walk the walk or not. The fact is that natural selection will decide who will end up where. As a child peruses a dream, they will decide along the way if what it takes is too much for them, they do not need your negative forecasting to influence them. It is important to realize that teens are dealing with emotional issues that are compounded by the sphere of influence in their lives. Their peers, parents, teachers, coaches and clergy are affecting their esteem. If you fall into any of these categories, make sure that your motives are positive. Make sure you have no hidden agendas or fears that you are putting into some- one else's reality. Your frame of ref- erence should be neutral and posi- tively focused. Our children look to their fami- lies and communities for encour- agement and it is our collective responsibility to have an attitude that each child can be, do and have anything that they desire and that we are here to teach them to believe in themselves by our modeling belief in them. Some will fail, but who is to say that they won't suc- ceed? Many of the world's most amaz- ing accomplishments happened because someone had no idea that they weren't supposed to be capa- ble of doing it. One of the worst things we can do as adults is impos- ing mediocrity on our youth. Be supportive, be positive, be an exam- ple and believe they can fly.
