For centuries, people walked in the woods and looked at northern Cal- ifornia wildlife. Today, these sojourns are called nature and bird walks. The walks are new ad- ditions to the historical crafts that come alive during Heritage Day at McArthur-Burney Falls State Park on Oct. 9. Free park admission and park- ing for all the day's activ- ities. "These walks offer an opportunity to view na- ture's wonders in one of California's most popu- lar parks," said Catherine Camp, president of the park's volunteer interpre- tative association. "The walks compliment an af- ternoon of traditional 1870s crafts." Mc A r thur-Bur ney Falls State Park is on State Route 89, six miles north of the intersection with State Route 299, 11 miles northeast of Bur- ney. Wintu Audubon Society members Linda Aldrich and George Horn lead the bird walk at 9:30 a.m. The society helped develop an updated bird list contain- ing over 40 species seen at the park. Dave Ledger of the Shasta Chapter of the Cal- ifornia Native Plant Soci- ety leads a native plant walk beginning at 11 a.m. Ledger is developing a native plant list to share with participants. Both events begin at the park's Visitor Center. "We expect some folks will want to enjoy all the day's activities," Camp said. Traditional Heritage Day activities of histori- cal crafts are scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. Youngsters' eyes are opened to the Pioneer life- style, an era before Inter- net and smart phones. For the mature crowd, it's an opportunity to remember stories told by ancestors. For all, it is a hands-on experience with teachers dressed in period cos- tumes and lots of fun. Among the items par- ticipants can make are candles, dolls using na- tive materials, rope and the lost art of calligraphy. Additional exhibits include blacksmith- ing, brand designing, shave and curl, shin- gle making, two-man saw bucking, spinning and weaving and bead- making. An age old skill bene- ficial to individuals us- ing modern camp stoves is learning how-to start a campfire with flint and steel in case the camp stove fails. Enjoy musical enter- tainment provided by the ever popular Ol' Time Fid- dlers while eating Dutch oven vittles cooked over a fire and drinking hand pressed apple cider. Traditional food and drinks are available for purchase from Burney Lions Club. Free park- ing is coordinated by Rotary Club of Burney- Fall River and Burney Lions Club. The new Visitor Cen- ter features nature, geol- ogy, cultural and recre- ational exhibits. Located just inside the park's en- trance, the center has a covered picnic shelter for families to relax and en- joy a meal or visit with friends.

SERRF SENIORS, STUDENTS The Red Bluff Union High School California Teachers Association will be hosting a Can- didates Night for pro- spective Red Bluff Joint Union School Board members on at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6. The event will be held in the Library Media Cen- ter, located on Douglass Street. The event is free and open to the public and all are welcome. ELECTION School board candidates night set Several events are planned this fall around the 2016-2017 Book in Com- mon, My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem, includ- ing a community kick- off event that took place Thursday. The Book in Common is a joint project of California State Univer- sity, Chico, Butte College, the city of Chico and Butte County. My Life on the Road is a perfect example of the personal being political, as Steinem — a promi- nent leader of the Women's Rights Movement — chron- icles moments in her fam- ily and personal life that in- spired her activism in the political arena. Through humorous and deeply mov- ing anecdotes, the book proves the point that by working together, regular people can drive change, even given enormous ob- stacles. Her stories of respectful partnering and learning from diverse sets of people offer models for a power- fully inclusive and collabor- ative structure. At the same time, Steinem's recollec- tions of her decades work- ing the campaign trail in the pursuit of equal rights, especially during the last presidential elections, of- fer fascinating insights into our current political envi- ronment. "Gloria Steinem has been at the forefront of so many social movements organiz- ing for civil liberties," said Chico State President Gayle Hutchinson. "In her book, My Life on the Road, Ms. Steinem reflects on her life journey with passion, can- dor and humor. We can all learn from her experi- ences." Another key component of Steinem's story is her fo- cus on and respect for di- versity. As pointed out by Butte College President Samia Yaqub, Steinem's ac- tivism has a decidedly mul- ticultural emphasis, being inspired initially by Ma- hatma Gandhi's nonvio- lent activism in India and always incorporating the particular struggles of mi- nority women in the United States. The Book in Common is a shared community read aimed at promoting dis- cussion and understand- ing of important issues fac- ing the broader community. It is chosen each year by a group of University fac- ulty, staff and community members. As in past years, Butte College, Chico State, the City of Chico and Butte County will sponsor a va- riety of events in celebra- tion of the Book in Com- mon throughout the year.

All students at the uni- versity are welcome to au- dition and are placed in a choral group according to their classification and abilities. Singers are re-au- ditioned periodically to de- termine proper placement. "I am greatly enjoying working with these ener- getic and talented musi- cians," says Dr. Pattye Casa- row, who serves as conduc- tor. "These young men and women are a diverse repre- sentation of the freshman class and work diligently to glorify God through the tal- ents He has given them." The University Singers will present an exciting program of music on Nov. 7, entitled "Voices of Amer- ica: Then and Now." The se- lections feature American composers, arrangers, folk music, and sacred tunes from early colonial days to today. In the spring, Univer- sity Singers will join with other choirs to present Dan Forrest's Jubilate Deo on March 2, and then again in the Greenville Peace Center on March 10. Jubilate Deo is a seven-movement setting of Psalm 100: "Make a joy- ful noise unto the Lord, all the earth." The work pres- ents portions of the psalm in eight different languages representing "all the earth" resounding with joy. The choral program at the school is a developmen- tal program comprised of seven graded choirs. Perfor- mances include concerts of standard choral literature, sacred service music, and the annual opera and ora- torio performances. Each participant will have the opportunity to learn to use music for the service of God and to reach their individ- ual technical and artis- tic choral potential within a program that strives for the highest level of musical excellence. Located in Greenville, South Carolina, Bob Jones University is a biblically faithful, Christian liberal arts university focused on educating the whole person to reflect and serve Christ.
