Safety class CORNING — Traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for teens, with 65 percent of teenaged passengers killed in traffic collisions in vehicles being driven by anoth- er teenager. The Corning Police Department and the California Highway Patrol are teaming up to do something about it. On March 12, the agencies are sponsoring a free Start Smart class for new drivers at the Neighborhood Full Gospel Church, 901 South St. The class will help educate new teenage drivers and their parents on what can kill teens at the start of their driving careers. It provides teaching techniques and intervention tactics to parents. Topics of discussion include the responsibilities of dri- ving a motor vehicle, primary causes of accidents, seat belt use, cell phone and texting laws and provisional license laws pertaining to young drivers. Interspersed throughout the class are real life experiences and stories shared by offi- cers that help drive home the overarching theme of the class: The class is 6:30-8:30 p.m. Young drivers attending the class must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Those interested should call the CHP office in Red Bluff at 527-2034 to reserve a spot. Any organizations in the county that sponsor a youth group with driving age teens can co-sponsor a class by con- tacting Officer Phillip Mackintosh at the CHP office in Red Bluff. 2A – Daily News – Wednesday, March 10, 2010 THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 Editor: Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews.com Sports Editor: Rich Greene sports@redbluffdailynews.com Circulation Manager: Kathy Hogan khogan@redbluffdailynews.com Production Manager: Sandy Valdivia sandy@redbluffdailynews.com On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area 800-479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

Starve the fear, feed the faith There is a story about an Indian boy who was to set out into the wilderness on a vision quest. Out in the wilderness he would be all alone to face whatever may come into his existence with only his wits about him; a ritual for a young boy turning into a man. In the days leading up to his journey, he came to the Chief of his tribe and confessed to him that he was struggling with con- flicting thoughts about his quest. He told the Chief that he felt there were two dogs at war within him. One dog fought telling him he couldn't do this on his own and that he was doomed to fail and most like- ly die in the wilderness alone. The other dog fought back telling him he was strong, had many skills and an incredible heart and that he would be victorious on his quest and learn his life's purpose. He asked the Chief what to do. The Chief told him that it is true that the two dogs were at war within him and that only the strongest dog can win. The young boy asked which dog would be the strongest and win and the Chief said, "The one you feed." The thoughts that you give your attention to are the ones that grow. Most often when you are scared, or on the cusp of a personal expansion opportunity, you are facing conflicting emotions. Some thoughts are positive and encouraging, and oth- ers are negative and defeat- ing. The ones you feed are the ones that grow and ultimately beat out the conflicting thoughts. Focus on the thoughts that tell you it is possible, you can do it, and you will succeed. Feed your positive thoughts. Nur- ture the aspects of you that are faith- ful to the promise of who you are and who you want to be. Starve out the negative thoughts by giving them no energy. Every time you think something negative, say "Go lay down" to that dog. Every time you think something positive, say "Good boy" to that dog and throw him a treat. The best way to feed your faith is to surround yourself with an envi- ronment that supports you. Listen to positive music, hang out with posi- tive people, and immerse yourself in all things good. The best way to starve your fear is to avoid people, places and things that bring you down. The more you feed your faith, the stronger your ability to withstand the occasional fear or negative energy that comes into your life. It is just like muscle fiber, build it up and it can bear a heavier load. The next time you sense fear welling up inside of you, find the thought that counters it and throw that dog a bone. Feed the faith and let the other dog lie. Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
