Toastmasters is an in- ternational organization that helps people develop confidence in their leader- ship through public speak- ing and the local club, Sun- rise Speakers, has been do- ing just that. The club meets every Thursday at noon at 220 Sycamore St. in Red Bluff. Every meeting provides members the opportunity to expand their skills in public speaking with planned and unplanned speeches. Members are finding the skills learned at Toastmas- ters have been very valuable professionally. "I joined Toastmasters about three years ago," said one member. "I was look- ing for some form of pub- lic speaking training. It had to be a non-pressured and non-judgmental envi- ronment. Toastmasters fit the bill. It has helped me to communicate better at work. I highly recommend it." Another member recently used his newly found skills to secure a promotion to a management position. "As a returning college student, I had to take a couple of public speaking courses, but those courses were not enough to pre- pare me for a career in business," the member said. "On the advice of my man- ager, I joined Toastmas- ters. I never realized that there was a club here in Red Bluff. I am very fortu- nate that there is one be- cause it makes it very con- venient. I joined Toastmas- ters about one and a half years ago and since then my communication skills have improved dramati- cally. I am no longer afraid of speaking in front of peo- ple. I have learned to or- ganize my speeches and I can now confidently make a business presentation. Since joining Toastmas- ters, I have been promoted to Manager and I owe part of my accomplishments to Toastmasters. The public is always wel- come to visit meetings.

Police logs Visitors from practically every town of importance on the Sacramento river north of Sacramento at- tended the hearing in this city Monday conducted by Major Rand of the War De- partment for the purpose of getting date with ref- erence to the Sacramento river between Chico Land- ing and Red Bluff with a view to securing appro- priations that would make possible the restoration of navigation over that por- tion of the river. Rand called attention to the fact that irrigation projects were now un- der way or proposed that would take practically the entire low water flow of the Sacramento river, and that if navigation were to be protected the people of this section should see that their representatives in Congress secured the necessary legislation by which the War Depart- ment could be governed and act to prevent the to- tal prevention of naviga- tion. — March 1, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Ri ve r na vi ga ti on i s ur ge d by pertinent facts at hearing The Tehama County Animal Care Center will be holding a dog adop- tion event through Friday. During the six-day event, the Care Center will re- duce the adoption fees for "bully" type dogs to $45 or less. In keeping with the feeling of springtime, each bully type dog ad- opted comes with a pair of bunny ears, Animal Care Center staff are hoping to highlight some of the dogs that are often overlooked or forgotten. "Pit bull type dogs are often singled out, when that label is often applied to many different breeds, often collectively referred to as the 'bully breeds,'" said center manager Christine McClintock. "The bully breeds include the American Stafford- shire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terriers and Bull Ter- riers. Boxers, Bulldogs and Boston Terriers are also breeds in the bully family." But being one of the bully breeds doesn't mean these dogs aren't suitable as pets. "American Pit Bull Ter- riersandmixesofthesame breed can be wonderful pets and family dogs," Mc- Clintock said. "Here, we want to show that these dogs might be labeled as 'bullies,' but are really just easygoing, happy-go- lucky dogs looking to en- joy the spring time. These goofballs might be called bullies, but they are really just looking for somebody to love." There are 23 bully breed dogs up for adoption at the Animal Care Center. Dogs ready for adoption are mi- crochipped, licensed, cur- rent on vaccinations and have been tested for heart- worm. Additionally, all spay and neuter and rabies vaccination fees for dogs adopted during the event will be paid for by Provid- ing Essentials for Tehama Shelter, or PETS. The Tehama County Animal Care Center is at 1830 Walnut St. in Red Bluff. Care Center hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Fri- day, and 10 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Saturday. Adoption hours are 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. If you would like more information regarding adopting, fostering or be- coming a Care Center vol- unteer, call McClintock at 527-3439 or write to cmc- clintock52@sbcglobal.net.
