In a game that proved to be merely exercise for the Red Bluff rang toss- ers the Gridley quintet met defeat last night on the local floor to the tune of 41 to 6. The visitors had no chance at any stage of the game, knew it, and put up a weak fight. "Bill" James refereed the con- test in his usual impartial and satisfactory manner. The two much praised college stars didn't cast a shadow in the way of an easy Red Bluff victory. The visitors scored two field goals and converted two free throws on fouls. For a time it seemed they would not be able to score and Red Bluff had 23 points to its credit when a Gridley man accidentally shot a basket. The score at the end of the first half was 28-2. Owing to a misunder- standing of dates it is probable the locals will not meet the Swastikas, the 145 pound team of the San Francisco Olym- pic Club, until after the game with the Olympics unlimited team and pres- ent world's champions on February 26th. There is some talk of a game with the Chico Nor- mal at an early date, prob- ably the only game to be played between now and the date of the big game. —Jan.30,1916 100YEARSAGO... Tehama county teams have little trouble holding champ titles Yesterday, January 29, was the official birth- day of the Seeing Eye Guide Dog. Eighty- seven years ago, the first see- ing-eye dog school in the United States was founded in Nashville, Tennessee. Known as The Seeing Eye, Inc. (http://www.seeing- eye.org/), it is the oldest existing guide dog school in the world and, even to- day, maintains its position as a pioneer in the field of guide dog services. Its history began a few years earlier, when a woman named Dorothy Harrison Eustis moved to Switzerland, from the United States, to set up a facility to breed German shepherds and train them to work as police dogs. During this time, sev- eral schools in Germany began to use dogs to as- sist the World War I vet- erans blinded by mustard gas. Dorothy, after vis- iting one of them, wrote an article for the Satur- day Evening Post chron- icling her observations. Shortly after the article's publication, she was in- undated with letters from people who were blind, requesting her assis- tance. Among them one stood out. It was from a young man named Morris Frank, who promised to spread awareness about these special dogs. Morris went to Swit- zerland and, on June 11, 1928, returned to New York City with his guide dog, Buddy. There, be- fore masses of news re- porters, he demonstrated the dog's abilities on a number of busy streets. His one-word telegram to Mrs. Eustis summed up the experience: "Success." Thus, The Seeing Eye was born. Their mission is to enhance the indepen- dence, dignity, and self- confidence of people who are blind, through the use of specially trained dogs. In 1930, Muriel Crooke and Rosamund Bond, of Great Britain, contacted Dorothy Eustis, who dis- patched a trainer to their location. In 1931, the first four British guide dogs — Judy, Flash, Folly, and Meta — completed their training and, three years later, The Guide Dogs for the Blind Associa- tion was founded in the United Kingdom. Since then, guide dog schools have opened all round the world. When the guide dog movement began, the founders realized that providing a blind indi- vidual with a guide dog would allow them to ac- tively participate in the normal undertakings of daily life. However, the other issue was to ensure that blind individuals who used guide dogs would be accepted in business es- tablishments, allowed on public transportation and in their areas of employ- ment. As a result, over the years many laws and a great deal of legislation has been enacted to pro- tect the rights of access for guide dog users. In 2013, 7,327, 800 peo- ple in the United States were reported to have a visual disability. Un- der Titles II and III of the 1990 Code of Federal Reg- ulations for the Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Seeing Eye Guide dogs are defined as ser- vice dogs for disabled per- sons and therefore pro- tected. This legislation allows these service ani- mals to accompany their people into any public fa- cility that allows the per- son. Even if the facility has a "no pets" policy, it may not deny entry to a person and their guide dog. Further informa- tion regarding laws and regulations as they per- tain to service animals can be located at (http:// www.ada.gov/service_ani- mals_2010.htm). The National Associa- tion of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) (813-626-2789), a division of the National Federation of the Blind, is an excellent organization which provides resources for blind people who cur- rently use guide dogs, those considering getting a guide dog, or those who want to learn more about utilizing guide dogs. In addition, a listing of ac- credited guide dog provid- ers can be found on their site at (http://www.nagdu. org/programs.html#usa ). In California, Guide Dogs of America (1-800- 459-4843) (http://www. guidedogsofamerica. org/1/) provides guide dogs and instruction in their use, free of charge, to the blind and visually impaired in the United States and Canada. Also, located in San Rafael, is the organization Guide Dogs for the Blind (1- 800- 295-4050) (http://wel- come.guidedogs.com/) whose services are also free of charge. For someone facing the challenge of vision im- pairment, with the resul- tant possible loss of in- dependence and mobil- ity, the future can be dim, both literally and figura- tively. A guide dog can be a wonderful solution in brightening and enhanc- ing that life. Isn't that a good reason to celebrate the Seeing Eye Guide Dog's Birthday?
