MercyFoundationNorth and St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital have selected Emily Gallagher as the re- cipient of the 2016 Chris Lawley Memorial Scholar- ship for Nursing Students. Gallagher is the daughter of Kevin and Rebecca Galla- gher of Red Bluff and is en- rolled in her second year at University of California, Ir- vine in the Nursing Science major.

A goal of the program is to support nursing stu- dents as they complete their education with the hope that they will pursue their nursing career in Te- hama County at St. Eliza- beth Community Hospital or another health care fa- cility. Additional gifts from the community to this fund are welcomed by making a do- nation to Mercy Founda- tion North, Attention: Chris Lawley Memorial Scholar- ship, 2550 Sister Mary Co- lumba Drive, Red Bluff, 96080. Mercy Foundation North is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy and is dedicated to supporting their activities throughout Northern Cal- ifornia. CHRISLAWLEYMEMORIAL Nursing scholarship awarded to Gallagher There were a dozen of us scattered about the ta- bles in the coffee shop. Some were working on comput- ers, oth- ers having quiet con- versations; person- ally, I was preparing for a class later that day. Of course, there were a handful of baristas be- hind the counter. No one — including myself — paid much mind when he opened the door to enter. He looked "rel- atively normal;" forty- something, about five and half feet in height. His clothes and dark brown hair were slightly dishev- eled and somewhat dirty; both of those could have been attributed to him being a workingman end- ing a long day. What was not "relatively normal" was as he stood at the en- trance, blocking others from coming or going, he raised his voice and started shouting at us, making direct eye contact across the room with me. At first I wasn't sure what he was saying; caught off guard by what is certainly not ex- pected or standard be- havior. The gist of his ti- rade was we "had better change teams immedi- ately" or we were all "go- ing to pay." His scream- ing was steeped with fury and rage and punc- tuated with a string of expletives culminating in a warning about how he was going to "f" us all up. Stunned, we sat; gawk- ing and puzzled, until he lifted something from near his worn shoes, slammed shut the door, turned on his heels, and disappeared into the foot traffic flowing along the thoroughfare. We — the patrons and employees — glanced at each other. One of the servers, about to leave for her break, commented, "I think I'll wait a few min- utes." Several moments passed; heart rates re- turned to normal. Our be- haviors returned to what they were prior the rude interruption. I have to be honest; when he bent down, I flinched. Raw anger un- nerves me; especially when it's so seemingly random and unexpected. Add to that we are all too well aware of tragedies at a church in Charleston, South Carolina; a movie theater in Aurora, Col- orado; a college just up the road in Roseburg, Or- egon; an army base in Fort Hood, Texas; a work- place shooting in San Ber- nardino, California; and now 100 victims in Or- lando, Florida. I confess that I considered, "Could the next one be a coffee house in Eureka, Califor- nia?" My anxiety level of late — although not at boil — is certainly at a higher level of simmer. I know I'm not alone wondering, "Could it hap- pen here?" Without warn- ing, or predictive action; another random act of senseless, extreme, blood- letting in a society that is seemingly wobbling on its axis. My heart hurts. My soul is sad. If you've followed my writing for the last dozen years, I hope I've por- trayed myself as an op- timistic person. In my heart, I truly am. I as- cribe passionately to my mother's mantra: "The greatest good is happen- ing at all times." I have taught my children, and espouse evangelically: "Compassion first." Those are my core values. I'm not egocentric enough to believe I have the definitive solution. But I do know that be- coming tribes of "us" and "them" and forgetting the "we" is exacerbating the problem. Does it make a differ- ence if here in my small corner of the globe, I slow down my judgments long enough to strive to look for the best in others, as- suming their intentions are as positive as mine? Will it help "big picture" if we each seek out ways in which we are similar, and be less scornful of our differences? Can our individual behaviors and thoughts influence a col- lective transformation over time? Yes they can. Yes they will. Either way, they cer- tainly can't hurt.

SCOTT MARCUS Findingthebest in each other Scott Marcus EmilyGallagher At a hastily called meet- ing held at the Antelope school house Friday night the proposition of irrigat- ing all of Antelope Valley, an area estimated at about 5000 acres exclusive of the Cone ranch property, was discussed at length and a movement inaugurated to make the proposition a re- ality. The meeting was ad- dressed by Engineer E. G. Hopson, formerly of the United States Reclamation service, and was called in order that the might ad- vise the land-owners as to the feasibility of the proj- ect. As outlined the proj- ect will be accomplished by installing a big pump- ing station in the Sacra- mento river at some suit- able point. It is estimated that 3000 inches of water will be required for an ir- rigation season of seven months. A rough estimate of the cost of the system installed was fixed at $15 per acre. The sum of $1 per year will provide for maintenance and operat- ing costs. — June 17, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
