Annie Lyday Teisseire Gould will be 100 years old on Mondahy. Gould was born in Bon- ham, Texas in 1916 and the Lyday family moved to Cal- ifornia and settled in Te- hama County in 1923. Annie and her twin, Mary, gradu- ated from Los Robles Ele- mentary School and in 1934 from Red Bluff High School. Gould married Ben Teis- seire in 1940. They have two daughters, Pat Teisseire of Freemont and Jean Hansen of Red Bluff. Annie has been active in the University of California Extension Service Home De- partment and is a 50-year member of the Red Bluff Art Association. In 1988, Annie married Herb Gould. Following his death in 1994, she made her permanent home in Red Bluff. BIRTHDAY An ni e Ly da y Te is se ir e Gould celebrates 100 years Signing an agreement that their employees may join the State militia, at- tend drills and summer en- campment without preju- dice to their positions, the merchantsofRedBluffhave sent a worthy example. The ranks of the Na- tional Guard in this state havebeendebarredofmany valuable members, who did not dare court possible dis- chargebyjoininganorgani- zationthatmighttakethem away from employment du- ties at inopportune times. Although ostensibly based on the other reasons, em- ployers occasionally have discharged employees be- cause membership in the National Guard required their absence on certain oc- casions. No proper preparedness can be had in this country unless everyone is willing to do his duty. The young men working at various trades and occupations do theirs in joining some organization which will train them for military service to the nation. The merchants and employers, older men mostly, perform some of their share by see- ing that none of their em- ployees should suffer by doing as they should. Any employer should be proud that his employ- ees have the spirit and de- termination to join a mili- tary organization for it in- dicates aggressiveness and courage that are an asset to his business, as well as a means of defense to the nation in time of danger. — Feb. 6, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...

A comic strip called Mutts delves into the spe- cial bond between animals and guard- ians, while advocat- ing for var- ious ani- mal issues. Last year, the Mutts team created a Manifesto, to encourage compassion with animals, humans, and the planet. The first point on it is "To Be Kind." I wondered, isn't be- ing kind what all humans should be? Unfortunately, acts of kindness are not the typical headlines dominat- ing the news. A kind per- son often appears as the exception, rather than the rule. In today's society, it is a sad commentary. So, how do we change the sta- tus quo? We start by set- ting an example and treat- ing not only our own pets, but all animals with the re- spect and compassion they deserve. Humans do have a moral obligation to animals be- cause, if for no other rea- son, we and they are not as disparate as we believe. According to the July 3, 2014 New York Times arti- cle "Zoo Animals and Their Discontents," by Alex Hal- berstadt, "A profusion of recent studies has shown animals to be far closer to us than we previously be- lieved — it turns out that common shore crabs feel and remember pain, zebra finches experience REM sleep, fruit-fly brothers co- operate, dolphins and el- ephants recognize them- selves in mirrors, chim- panzees assist one another without expecting favors in return and dogs really do feel elation in their own- ers' presence." If we pay at- tention to the scientific data that indicates animals have emotion and are self- aware, then it is a valid ar- gument that we should also reconsider our treatment of them. Science is not our only source to aid us in reach- ing the conclusion that an- imals should be treated with respect. All of the world's major religions rec- ognize the value of animal life and the need to avoid animal suffering. Juda- ism embraces the Hebrew concept of tsa'ar ba'alei hayim — a principle which bans inflicting unneces- sary pain on animals. Ev- idence of caring attitudes towards animals can be found in the Bible, an ex- ample being: 'A righteous man regardeth the life of the beast' (Proverbs 12.10). With Hinduism and Bud- dhism, nature is held sa- cred and humans are not any more significant than any other living thing. The prophet Mohammed said, "It behooves you to treat the animals gently". Native American traditions and beliefs vary extensively, but the common premise is all of Nature is sacred. According to the Na- tional PTA Congress, "Chil- dren trained to extend jus- tice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their relations to each other." What that tells us is, when children learn to treat animals kindly, even the least adored, they are also learning how to treat fellow members of society. Learning about compas- sion in the formative years aids in helping reduce in- stances of violence to all living beings. It is believed that Ma- hatma Ghandi said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its ani- mals are treated." If this is true, then the ethical stan- dards of the community are weakened by the accep- tance of inhumane treat- ment of animals. If we can discount and ignore the well-being of animals, then it becomes much eas- ier for us to ignore the wel- fare of other humans. Our capacity to understand an- other person's condition from their perspective be- comes diminished. We find that we are no longer em- pathetic and our ability to look beyond our own self- absorbed interests to help others is decreased. Teach- ing kindness and respect for animals is a good first step in teaching empathy. On another note, re- search documents the im- portance of the human-an- imal bond in child develop- ment, elderly care, mental and physical illness, de- mentia, abuse, and trauma recovery, and the rehabili- tation of the incarcerated. By cultivating our com- passion for all living crea- tures, we can consequently improve our own physical and mental health. In the 1975 book, "An- imal Liberation: A New Ethics for Our Treatment of Animals," author Pe- ter Singer states "The ani- mals themselves are inca- pable of demanding their own liberation, or of pro- testing against their condi- tion …Human beings have the power to continue to op- press other species forever … Will our tyranny con- tinue… Or will we rise to the challenge and prove our capacity for genuine altru- ism by ending our ruthless exploitation of the species in our power ?… The way in which we answer this ques- tion depends on the way in which each one of us, indi- vidually, answers." We can answer with compassion, respect, and kindness to animals. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@ gmail.com.
