Locally born artist wins People’s Choice What a rewarding surprise I experienced when I was told that a Northern California, Red Bluff born young woman has won an award for the February Hawkman Studios Conditions of the Heart Art Show in Redding. Dejon Weldon had a number of photos on display which she paints in reverse on plexi-glass to create her newest artistic work. We have acquired one of Wel- don’s paintings in the described media and greatly enjoy it. I must admit that I have known this artist since her birth and have observed her exceptional artistic abilities through the years. She attended one of my preschool classes and Dejon’s artis- tic accomplishments were blossom- ing even then. Having known her since birth I have been able to observe her for many years. She attended both private and public schools in Northern Califor- nia, Red Bluff and Mineral in Tehama County and Fletcher Walk- er Elementary in Westwood. She both attended and worked at Shasta College in Redding. In 2004 she married husband, Scott Weldon and moved with him to Vicenza, Italy. As were many who visit European countries, Dejon was greatly inspired by all the culture that surrounded her in Europe. It was then she contin- ued her education and her passion for art by studying Art History. Her camera became her constant companion and she continued to work in multi- ple art mediums. As a continuing artist her art is motivated by people she meets, places she has visited, imagination and her constant urge to create. Dejon Weldon has plea- sure in displaying her art both in public institutions and in private residences. We are privileged to have one of Weldon’s most recent paintings on our living room wall. The painting reminds us of the European culture and the woman sitting on a bench in the picture reminds us of a dearly loved rela- tive.Many people who have observed it on our wall have expressed the same observation. Dejon has not limited herself to one medium of art so has created a large variety of mediums using many varieties of painting and photo prints. She is motivated by people she meets, places she has experienced, Carolyn Barber imagination and her ever present urge to cre- ate. Presently living in Redding again she is sharing the experiences she gained while living in Italy and visiting many other adjacent countries. More knowledge by this dedicated artist can be obtained at: http://www.dejonsvi- sion.com She has definitely held fast to her dreams as is so clearly depicted in the fol- lowing excerpt from a poem by Louise Driscoll: "Hold Fast your dreams!...With- in your heart, Keep one still, secret spot, Where dreams may go, And, sheltered so, May thrive and grow, Where doubt and fear are not, O keep a place apart, Within your heart, For little dreams to go!" Thanks so much for sharing your many artistic creations with us, keep your dreams and artistically present them for others to enjoy. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hur- car@yahoo.com.

Luncheon Given By Mrs. Wilcox To Honor Miss McCoy Mrs. Grant B. Wilcox gave a delightful luncheon at her home on Main street Fri- day evening in honor of Miss Alice McCoy. Miss Hallie Owen entertained with several musical numbers. – Daily News, May 1, 1920 Activities League Martial Arts Program began in 1998. On Monday, April 26, Ben- jamin Renteria came to the dojo at Ginger's Fitness Palace and taught his last class — at least for a while. Renteria is graduating from California State University, Chico with a degree in psychology with an emphasis in youth advocacy. A lot of people encouraged Renteria and didn't yell at him or tell him he wasn't going to make it — which is what he heard a lot of back in those days from friends and family and even at school. He was never told by anyone at 8th Annual FIBER ON THE FOOT May 1-2 • 9 to 5 Fiber Livestock Festival Family fun Handcrafter’s Paradise Plus 6 other events at the TDFG www.fiberonthefoot.com PAL that he was never going to make it. It was PAL that created a program that interested him. Leslie (Slate) Pettifor also hung in there for nine years with the same kind of background as Renteria. She made it, too, serving in the Air Force in law enforce- ment, happily married with two children and having been to Afghanistan. PAL made these opportunities possible for Pettifor, Renteria and several of the others. One of the many conferences that these kids went to was at CSU Monterrey Bay. It was called "The Future is Now!" Three hundred kids from all over the state learned about what happens after high school. Nearly Card Party The Los Molinos Woman's Club Card Party and Salad Bar Luncheon is today, at the Los Moli- nos Senior Center, 25199 Josephine St. The luncheon starts at noon and the card party goes from noon to 4 p.m. all of the PAL participants that went over the years have made it. After Renteria graduates, he'll be waiting for a call from the Peace Corps, where he hopes to make a difference in a country to which he has never been. That takes courage. Back in the day, he never figured to have any kind of courage but PAL showed him the way. During his last class, Renteria gave a small but powerful speech about how PAL saved his life from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gangs and violence. His speech, no doubt, will save a few of the younger students’ lives as well. For more information about PAL, visit www.tehamaso.org. COMMUNITY CLIPS The cost, $7 each, is for lunch and card party. Anyone can make a table or just come for lunch. Bring your favorite card game and friends.
