Hard times bring violence Yes, I said it, "vio- lence." Each paper we read, each TV show we watch brings violence to our eyes and ears. The observation of a young girl being kicked as two security officers stood by and made no move to stop the attack. What a shock to those who were watch- ing the beating on the TV news. We are an interdepen- dent society whether we like it or not. What we do and what we tolerate affects us and others. It has been that way since the beginning of time, the difference is that we have created technology which brings it all to our doorstep. Members of society cannot expe- rience violence and remain the same; we either abhor it or tolerate it. In our toleration we create inno- cent victims, a large number of whom are the nation's children. Some of us hide our heads in the sand and seek to pretend that all is good in the world, we retain the idea that bad things will just go away. Others of us panic and begin to think all is bad. Better that we acknowledge that cruel negative actions travel our way, it is our individual and collective responsibili- ty to deter them as much as is possible. I find myself murmur- ing the phrase; "during these hard times," quite often these days. Our mon- etary incomes are being reduced one way or anoth- er, jobs have been discon- tinued and new ones are greatly competitive or non- existent. Depression of the mind and body takes away our enthusiasm, threatening level head- ed thinking toward better times. Unfortunately crimes of theft and physical hurt are more prevalent. People are losing their homes, banks are increasing interest on loans and credit cards. The food on our table is more costly. We are called upon to stretch the pennies as far as we can. There are those who believe that we have not entered a great reces- sion. We may not be experiencing a depression like that of the 1930s to '40s the truth being that mental depression, criminal acts and self destruction has visited some of our population. Each of us are challenged to make every effort to get through the "hard times," accepting changes by working on our own budgets and not forgetting to reach out to others in dire need. In the 1960s, Jackie DeShannon sang " What the World Needs Now Is Love." It was a song that cried out for the one thing we hunger and thirst for most deeply, yet we often don't know where to find it. Another song, entitled, "Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places," may remind us that if we fail to look in the right places, we will never know the kind of love and well being our hearts crave. As our country faces these "hard times" may we think twice before we ignore those in need, before we spend needless hours discussing what if's instead of tackling the challenge of contributing to the bet- terment of our people and our coun- try.

Senior Menu Carolyn Barber Courtesy photo Jill Wabbel, Donna Wabbel and Vici Miranda are ready and waiting to dip into chocolate fondue at the Chocolate Fantasia event. Chocolate Fantasia, a Soroptimist International of Red Bluff fundraiser, will be held at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Red Bluff Veteran's Memorial Hall, corner of Oak and Jackson streets. Like chocolate? Want to try a variety of choco- late items? There are a limited number of tickets avail- able to the Chocolate Fan- tasia event, at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Red Bluff Veterans memorial Hall, Oak and Jackson streets. Tonight's event marks the return of a fundraiser previously presented by the Soroptimist Interna- tional of Red Bluff. This fun night of deca- dence has been reborn as a scholarship fundraiser by two of the members who worked on the event as youth, Vici Miranda and Jill Wabbel. Vici and Jill helped Donna Wabbel and Jean Shackelford put on the event 10 years ago. "I remember it being so much fun, I wanted to bring it back now that I am a Soroptimist" Miran- da said. "The whole fami- ly are now Soroptimist members and it will be fun to work together to raise money for women and girls for our scholar- ship program." The club provides scholarships and awards for high school seniors, those returning to school and those seeking advanced degrees. Each year it tries and provide more money as costs continue to rise. "We would like the Fantasia to be one of our major fund raisers for 2010 but we will only have 200 tickets avail- able," Miranda said. The cost of the evening is only $15 per person, and tickets are available from Soroptimist mem- bers or by calling Becky Eusted at 597-2342 or sending an e-mail to SIRedBluffClub@yahoo. com.
