Lisa Defonte, You Matter This community is filled with amazing peo- ple who have gifts that make others lives better. Perhaps they are a coach, a teacher, a busi- ness owner, a mentor or some other embodiment of quality. Sometimes, their mere presence makes them matter. Sometimes, how they treat others with love is what they do best. Those who know Lisa Defonte know above all things that she is a humorous ray of sun- shine where ever she goes. Her humor is only shadowed by her ability to encourage oth- ers. I have witnessed personally, her reach out to multiple people with words of hope and cope and have seen her take the reins when a job needs to be done. She seems to be involved in everyone's business, but in that good way that you want her to be, not the Mrs. Cravit's sort of way. Recently, she took care of her elderly grandfather and walked with him through his personal journey with end of life issues and she amazed us all with her genuine love, compassion and unique brand of coping skills. Many have encour- aged her to share her memories and insights into this time with a book as she is amazingly clever with her humor- ous way of making heartache funny. Yes, I said making someone laugh in their time of tragedy. Isn't that the most amazing of gifts? Lisa is an example to all of us that how we treat any one is how we will treat everyone. How we show our willingness to help others, use compassion in our everyday lives and give of ourselves makes us the best of people. I know that there have been times in Lisa's life when she was maxed out, thinking things were pretty tough to bear and tight to manage, but she never let 'em see her sweat. She kept her eyes on the bigger prize. As I write this, I realize that she is an example of the golden rule; doing unto others as she would like have done unto her. How cool is it for all of us who know her to have her in our lives. Imagine, if you do not know her, having someone like her in yours. This is what it is all about, my friends; surrounding yourself with the Lisa's of the world. More importantly, being the Lisa's of the world. The Lisa's of the world remind us to be kind to strangers, volun- teer, give of ourselves for no rea- son other than to be of service. The Lisa's of the world remind us that when rain falls into the lives of others, we need to be there until the sun shines and dries up all the rain. The Lisa's of the world teach us that compas- sion is a gift that is best served with a bit of humor on the side. The Lisa's of the world teach us most of all that if we are ever in a bind, we needn't look far for sup- port.

Courtesy photo Antelope State Preschool students in Angel Virrueta's class took a trip to the Sin Fronteras restaurant where, in an effort to make a difference — the classes' motto, students prepared healthy foods with the help of owners Hubbis and Franklin Gonzalez and Red Bluff Gas station owner Jennifer Nguyen. Children prepared spring rolls, made salsa and danced. The experience brought life to what the preschool has been teaching about diversity, acceptance and cultural traditions.
