STAFF REPORT

For the third year in a row Williams native Ashleigh

Martini brought home another win from the California State Fair’s Best of Show-Horse Show, after competing in the Senior Trail Class. “It feels really good to hold onto a title like that,” shared Martini. Martini fi rst began taking riding lessons when she was eight years old, after her mother asked her if she was interested in horses. Th ey had purchased her fi rst horse by Martini’s ninth birthday. Over the years she has accomplished many things, some bigger than others, one of which is winning the Senior Trail Class three years in a row. A Williams 4-H Club member for 10 years, Martini has focused on several projects including horse, miniature horse, photography and scrapbooking. Martini is currently attending Yuba Community College to prep for either an engineering or mathematics major, but plans to continue showing as often as she can. “I would also like to become a certifi ed judge, so I can judge horseshows in the future,” she said. She likes to encourage kids who may be interested in horses to take a few riding lessons and join a local 4-H

group, but she also warns that it’s not all about the riding-horses are a lot of work. “Th ere is so much to learn,” she explained “It’s important to learn all you can before making a decision on whether or not you are serious about getting into horses. If you are dedicated, it can be very rewarding.” What has it been like for Ashleigh? “Horses have brought a lot of good into my life,” Ashleigh said “…happiness, love, fun, knowledge, patience.” She

also went on to describe how she had to learn to deal with responsibility, commitment and how to lose with dignity. “Every day is a learning experience, every time my horse and I can improve on even the easiest maneuver, I look at it as another accomplishment,” she explained. Martini continues to compete and will be participating in the Sacramento Horseman’s Association Schooling Show on October 4.

In today’s economy the phrase budget cuts, can send a shiver down the spine of many educators. When it comes to schools and their programs, it seems that music is one of the fi rst programs that are cut. In spite of that fact a new musical experience is sweeping area schools and their music departments. Students and teachers are treated to an experience of a lifetime, an opportunity to see fi rsthand the process of putting on a major performance. Th e Legends of Music Concert Series is a three day program that provides a unique opportunity for music, theater and production students to get a glimpse into all the aspects of the music industry; From developing a program, marketing, writing full orchestration, preparation of the concert, performing and all the behind the scene action that it takes to make the concert happen. It’s a multi-faceted program the blends an educational experience for both students and teachers, fundraising opportunity for local music programs, and an entertainment experience that puts a full, 32 piece orchestra together with some of the most talented musicians of our time. ....................Continued on Page 2

Th e program and series was developed by Dr. Keller Coker of Western Oregon University and Don Kennedy, formerly the Director of Marketing for Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City, Oregon. Kennedy is currently the Director of Marketing for the Colusa Casino Resort. “My hope is that it spreads with true musical legends giving back to their communities, that colleges, high schools and middle schools all work together to make music a successful program and that we provide our kids with lots of options growing up to be well rounded people,” said Kennedy. Th e three day program kicks off with a Wednesday visit to area schools by members of the production to talk to students and teachers about their various roles in the LMCS. Th ursday the students and teachers would be on site for a late afternoon production preview including room and seating preparation, sound, lighting, a full rehearsal, question and answer session and a meet and greet with the Orchestra Conductor and the guest artist and fi nally they will end the day as audience members for the performance. Both Th ursday and Friday’s concert performances will be on sale to the public and the music departments will be selling blocks of tickets with half of the proceeds going to their respective programs. Th e featured orchestra is the American Metropole Orchestra, which is based on the famous European Metropole Orchestra of the Netherlands. Dr. Coker, an accomplished performer and composer, will be the conductor. Some very lucky, specially selected area music students will shadow orchestra

members, production staff and singers of the series. Th ey will even have the opportunity to be selected to work on and perform in future concerts.Th e guest artists are legendary in the music world. Sonny Turner is the lead singer of Th e Platters who have old time favorites such as: Only You, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Th e Great Pretender, Red Sails in the Sunset and dozens more. Th e Grand Lady of Country Music, Lynn Anderson whose timeless hit I Never Promised You a Rose Garden is just one of dozens of gold records.

Th e program is the second of its kind. Th e fi rst was on the central Oregon Coast in a region similar in size to Colusa County, where 300 students and teachers participated in the series. For this series, half of the orchestra will be from Yuba, Sutter and Colusa Counties including Mike Phenicie as well as one student musician from Colusa High School. As each concert approaches, more local students will join the orchestra and singers.

Creative Looks in Maxwell played host to the Colusa Re-gional Medical Center Art Show and Share September 19, with over 120 pieces of art, it was a resounding success. Kyla Lees, 16, of Williams was the youngest artist whose work was displayed. Her pho-tography showed life through her eyes with experience be-yond her years. Th e Art Show and Share was her fi rst foray into the art world. “It’s more than I thought it would be,” shared Lees of her experience. Lees and her family are recent transplants to Colusa County by way of San Antonio, Texas. At the tender age of nine, while on a family trip to Niagara Falls, Lees took some of her very fi rst photos. “Seeing the beauty you could capture with something so small-the highlights and lowlights always fascinate me,” she explained. Also at the event was a Yuba City musical group the Saxsa-tions. With a mixture of 500 pieces to their repertoire, they

have songs for every occasion. Th e tranquil setting of the Creative Looks’ gardens, the music and artwork, it made for a pleasant event for all who at-tended. Th e event is not a fund-raiser but rather a way to bring art into the community both at the show and later when it is displayed at Colusa Regional Medical Center, many are also available for purchase. Being displayed at CRMC is a great way for budding artists to gain exposure for their works. Th ose artists include: Susan

Alvarez, Alandra Arambula, Jean Boyes, Deanna Day, An-nie Dirks-LaGrande, Rodrigo Duran, Josh Edwards, David Fermin, Margery Fuson, Sue Graue, Cheryl Hennessy, Al-ice Kaeslin, Patricia Kalfsbeek, Kyla Lees, Bonnie Lee Mar-tin, Mary Ann Nation, Me-lissa Oden, Tracy Pitts, Kevin Roddy, Jenna Smead, Sue Sut-ton, Augusta Bell Tremayne, Cheryle A.

Delicious cake and people of all ages mingling

amid the hum of friendly conversation combined on Sunday, September 20th, as the Arbuckle Community Church marked its 130th anniversary. A beautiful Bible-shaped cake inscribed with the words “Great is Th y Faithfulness” refl ected the celebratory mood of the congregation. Th e event marked the exact date in 1879 when fi ve faithful pioneers organized the fi rst charter. Since then, the church’s colorful history has been marked by continuous renovations and remodeling, small group Bible studies, a prayer chain and annual events such as the Almond Blossom Tea, the Quilter’s Raffl e, rummage sales, church picnic/campout and Men’s Breakfast. Various community service and outreach activities have been conducted through the decades, including food baskets, canned food drives, vouchers for gas and groceries, and the support of numerous missionaries around the world. In 1925, voluntary tithing replaced the subscription method of fi nancing, a practice in faith that continues today. A commitment of setting 10 percent of the annual

budget aside for missions also continues. During the social hour celebration, highlights of the church’s history were shared. One entry noted that in 1932, Pastor A.D. Bruce and a Mr. Chandler were concerned about the rowdy young people in Arbuckle, so they started baseball games at night to provide clean recreation for the town youth. Christian education, especially for children, is evident in the many decades of Sunday School, children’s messages during the worship service, summertime Vacation Bible School and a variety of youth programs. “Th e cake may be gone and the social hall quiet,” said one church member, calmly scraping icing off the social hall carpet, “but the ongoing fellowship of believers and their personal relationship with God will go on until the next anniversary!” Th e current pastor, Matt Woodward, serves a congregation that upholds the whole Bible as the inspired Word of God. Th e congregation recognizes the 130th anniversary as a testimony to God’s faithfulness to them as a body of believers and to the work of sharing the gospel with the community of Arbuckle and beyond.

Th e County of Colusa, the City of Williams and the City of Colusa have announced the next step in creating an economic development roadmap for the entire county, soliciting input from county residents on what economic development they would like to see in Colusa County. “We want to hear from everyone,” said Supervisor Kim Vann. “Th is is about our county’s future.” October 8 has been set for the next meeting in Williams. “Th e future of the City and County of Colusa is too important to leave to chance. We need to take charge of our economic future,” said Colusa City Manager Jan McClintock. Th e Economic Development Roadmap project started in 2007 to create an enterprise zone in Colusa County. An enterprise zone would create tax incentives for businesses to locate or expand in the county.

Th e county and cities learned in the process that to be successful in establishing an enterprise zone, an economic development plan, or roadmap, was necessary. In late 2008, the county and cities began to create a plan to be a roadmap containing not just where we want to go, but also identifying the steps needed to reach those goals. Th e fi rst meetings held in May were hosted by the City of Colusa. Key members of the business community were interviewed for their thoughts on economic development for the region. Another key component was a visit by a professional site locator who specializes in assisting companies wishing to relocate or expand. Th e Williams meeting is scheduled for Th ursday, October 8, at 6:30 p.m. at Granzella’s meeting room. Area residents are encouraged to attend to help create a future of economic stability and prosperity.

Colusa County residents interested in a tour of the

Holy Land need only travel as far as Woodland. Individuals and groups alike are able to stop by the Woodland Museum of Biblical Archaeology at Woodland United Fellowship, 240 N. West Street, to visit a collection of artifacts from biblical times. Since its inception a year ago, the Woodland Museum of Biblical Archaeology has hosted more than 800 visitors. “Most people are very surprised that a display concerning biblical archaeology of this quality is local,” says WUF pastor Carl Morgan. “It’s not something they expect to see in a church. I believe we are the only church in the country with a museum like this.” Of the 800 guests in the last year, says Morgan, many return with friends to share their enthusiasm about the collection of genuine artifacts from biblical times. Th e museum also hosted a weeklong summer children’s camp, “Truth Quest.” Almost every piece in the museum has a Bible story to accompany it, leaving both children and adults with a greater appreciation for the Bible and biblical history. “Th ey call it the ‘Secret Treasure’ of

Woodland,” Morgan says. Th e museum welcomes groups from schools, churches, youth groups and more, and it is also open to the public every Friday, Saturday and Monday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Th e museum’s humble beginnings began in the foyer of Woodland United Fellowship in 2007. Morgan created a display case with a few juglets and lamps from archaeological digs in which he had participated, and the collection continued to grow. “When you can actually look at (and sometimes hold) objects that come from the period of Abraham, Moses, David or Jesus, those stories about them become more alive,” Morgan says. “It tends to remove the approach to Scripture that these characters were bigger than life and somewhat mythological. Th ey were as real as you and I.” On the west wall of the museum artifacts from mainly the Middle Bronze Age (2,200 B.C. to 1,550 B.C.) are displayed. Visitors will fi nd sling stones, which were used as weapons and swung with a leather strap. Th ey will also see swords from 2,000 B.C. and a sacrifi cial knife from the time of Abraham. Th ere is pottery dated before 3,000 B.C. and a battle-axe on display that dates to at least 500 years before the time of Abraham. ................Continued on Page 5

Sometimes it’s really hard not to get caught up in the rat race called

life. Rushing here and there, school, meetings, karate, dance. It’s enough to make my head spin on my shoulders. I always have to remind my-self to stop, take a deep breath and focus on the important things in life, my fam-ily. So, I take a step back and remember the reason I started the WPR was to be able to con-tinue what I en-joy, writing and meeting people, while being there for my family. With that I re-focus and feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. I see things in a new light even though I am still as busy as always. As a society we tend to get caught up in the drama of the moment, it’s easy to do. But, once we take a step back it’s easier to see what our original goals were and get back on track. We are in charge of our

lives, or should be, let’s make the best of them. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I think it’s awesome how our county comes together for the cause. Whether you are able to make a monetary donation to

a local charity or show up for the Breast Cancer Walk in Colusa October 10th, it’s crucial we all participate in some way. Even if you can en-courage a friend or a loved one to go get a mam-mogram, you are doing something pro-active

ANDREA MOOREPublisher

Life has a way of bringing you up, then tries to pull you back down.

A few weeks ago my decision to resign the presidency of the Colusa County Chamber of Commerce was made because I wanted to fulfi ll my dreams to become the person I wanted to be. While recovering from having my wisdom teeth extracted, I had some time to refl ect on my life over the past few years and realized that I really have accomplished a lot for a person my age, yet, I wanted more. Not material successes, but relationships of friends and family. With the growth of my business, my new home and life in general, it was time to move on and pass the torch. Although my decision was publicly scrutinized with the obvious aim to tear down my reputation of reliability and devotion to community service, I remain standing on my feet. Th ere were times I thought of giving up to run away from it all, but I knew better. I have nothing to hide, but I could not have guessed the number of people who believe in me and voiced their

support, who recognized the critical ink as nothing more than an attempt, under the guise of an “investigative report,” to manufacture a controversy where there was none. A friend of mine says, “You never know what the other person is going through to make decisions or to act the way they do.” Often times we take things at face value. Sometimes we grumble at the espresso bar employee who is taking longer than usual to make our favorite coff ee, with little cons ide r a t i on that the server may have been up all night with a sick child, or completing fi nal course papers, one step closer to becoming the doctor or other professional they aspire to be. It may seem like a cliché, but no matter how bad you might feel or what is going on in your life, just smile at every person you see. Th at smile can brighten someone’s day, and you just might inspire a life. Our community has been unfortunate recently to

lose four people who thought there was no more love and their luck had run out. If you feel down on your luck or are just having a bad day, week, month, or year, be assured it will get better. Th ere are people who love you, even if it may not seem so. So the next time you are having a bad day, take a moment to talk to someone; maybe a friend, or a loved one or even a complete stranger. You might learn something new about that person, good or bad, but don’t judge. Th e next time you see

someone and you greet with “Hi, how are you?” stop for a second

and listen for the answer. I often think, “Why complain, it isn’t as if anyone is going to listen.” It is true. We don’t like to hear complaints. We all have complaints of our own that always seem bigger than the complainer’s, no matter the situation. We may act as if we care, but do we? Voicing you opinion or discussing the situation may take that big complaint down to a little situation when you fi nally realize, “Th at wasn’t so

bad now, was it?.” We are all human, and I think we get so caught up in our computers, iPhones and our personal schedules that we often forget the human element. We all make mistakes, and we all have those bad days, but is it really worth “sticking” it to a person forever? If you have ever held a grudge against anyone or make it your purpose to get back at someone, try sitting down and writing a list of the factual things the person did to you. Th en write a list of things you have done in return. I’ll bet the list won’t balance. So, pick up that phone, or grab that iPhone and email that person to say you are sorry, and make up over a nice cup of coff ee or lunch. Over the past few weeks I have learned that love is stronger than hate. My mother has always preached it, but I never listened. However, when you get to a moment in life when it feels as if everyone is out to get you, and you realize people are there to support you, the meaning of the lesson

becomes a reality. Now that I have moved on and am writing a new chapter in my life, I will never let one of my dreams fade, because dreams don’t work without action, and no one can stop me but me. As I continue my community service as a director of the Colusa County Chamber of Commerce, I am happy to support the merging of the Chamber with the Colusa County Economic Development Council and the Colusa County Business and Visitors Center as progress for the community and to the benefi t of all who live and work here.

“Th ose who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to fi nd that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.” - T.E. Lawrence

WHAT DOESN’T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER

Lloyd Green Jr.Writer & Contributor

Despite numerous late-night meetings and

many public hearings, we have missed the deadline to come up with a comprehensive water solution this year, but a special legislative session has not been ruled out. Th e perfect storm of below-average rainfall and water cutbacks due to environmental regulations has left California farmers and ranchers with an uncertain future. Five water bills i n t r o d u c e d this summer fell short of addressing the real issues facing the Delta. Th e bills attempted to deal with the governance structure of water deliveries, but would have only added more red tape to an already bureaucratic process. In recent weeks the lack of farm water being delivered in

the Central Valley has made national media headlines, fueling the frustration of Central Valley farmers. A quick drive down Interstate 5 and anyone can see the numerous signs that reiterate the frustration, “Congress Created a Dustbowl.” Many can debate the numbers of acres of farmland being fallowed because of lack of water, but whether 150,000

acres or 300,000, neither is acceptable for one of the

largest agricultural-producing regions in the nation. It is paramount for farmers in the Central Valley to tell their story. Our state’s water crisis is simply not pitting interest groups against each other, such as farmers versus fi sh, it is about our state’s livelihood. Th e environment does not have a higher moral

calling than the farmers who grow the food that feeds our families and our nation. Simply saying we don’t have the money will only cause the Central Valley of California, which is known as the bread basket of the world, to have communities that cannot even feed themselves. Californians should be ashamed of political inaction and erroneous environmental policy that has brought our $36 billion agricultural industry to a breaking point. Pushing a package of bills that does not address infrastructure as a solution to California water crisis is a naive attempt that will be as successful as the ”kink your hose” mentality to solve the real problem that faces our state.

Pottery includes terra-cotta dipping juglets and other household items from around the time of Job. Th e north wall of the museum displays items from the Iron Age (1,250 B.C. to 587 B.C.), or the time of Israel’s monarchy and King David, to the Babylonian captivity in 587 B.C. Guests will see on display un-translated cuneiform tablets, made of mud and then fi red to make them hard, which were an early method of contracts and covenants,. Also of note are clay containers used for various things such as holding oil, and several have been found with traces of opium inside. A priest of that time would use opium in a ceremony, or a woman in labor might take opium for the pain. Other relics include alabaster jars from Egypt, cooking pots, juglets, everyday ware, tableware, pitchers, bowls, tablets, storage jars, wooden

Egyptian mummy mask, scarab beetles used to make the seal impressions of diff erent pharaohs, mantle deities, a pilgrim’s fl ask from Judea used to carry wine pulp to mix with water, an incantation bowl from Lydia used by priests to read the future, and more. “Archaeology helps us understand the culture and lifestyle of people from biblical periods,” Morgan says. “Most of the information you read from biblical commentaries about everyday life and culture in biblical times is available because of the works of archaeologists.” Th e museum’s east wall has some items from the late Iron Age, like a fruit bowl, but also artifacts from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras. Even in biblical times there were makeup applicators, perfume bottles, mending needles, fi sh needles and surgical tools. Th ere are also oil containers from Petra, blown

glass from Phoenicia, Roman nails and spear points, and a solemn child’s burial urn from Carthage, where infanticide was rampant. For those who don’t have their Bible history down pat, do not worry. Th ere are 2-feet by 10-feet parchment timelines along each wall to show visitors the chronology of Bible history. Th e timeline dates key biblical periods and relates biblical characters and events with those periods. Th e timeline also reveals the books of the Bible that emerged from those periods. Underneath the timeline are contemporary objects along with a description of each and a Bible verse to give it context. “Most of us appreciate visual enforcements for what we are taught or read about,” Morgan says. “By seeing these objects in their context, the Bible stories come alive and are more easily understood.” In the south corner of the museum is the Tall el-Hamman corner, where Morgan has participated in an archaeological dig for the past four years. Th e site in Jordan is believed to be the city of

Sodom as written in Genesis. Th e corner will be a 3-D area depicting the actual square Morgan is excavating in Jordan. It will display tools used in archaeology and will show the meter of ash found at the site, which is crucial evidence since the Bible declared Sodom was destroyed by brimstone and fi re. Morgan plans to return for a fi fth year of excavation in January. “Th is season we will be focusing on the well-preserved Early Bronze city which was the Sodom of Genesis 10 listed in the Table of Nations after the Great Flood,” Morgan saysof the upcoming dig in Jordan. Seven Woodlanders are set to go on the dig in January, and all are welcome to participate. Woodland United Fellowship’s Upcoming Community Events:Archaeology Kids’ Club: Meets every other Friday from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. to learn how archaeology and the Bible work together. Games are played as well as excavation of a mock square. Ongoing Greek and Hebrew classes: Open to the public

for a small fee. Basic New Testament Greek meets from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Th ursdays.Lecture Series: Th e museum off ers at least two lecture series each year concerning archaeology and biblical history. Th ey are free and open to the public. Dr. John Moore will lecture beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 about the Intertestamental Period (the 400 years between the writing of the Old and New Testaments) and continuing in the afternoon at 1:00 p.m. Dig at Tell el-Hammam: Sunday, November 15 at 6:00 p.m. Dr. Steven Collins, the director of the archaeological dig in Jordan, will be sharing the most recent information about the ongoing dig he believes to be the biblical Sodom. All are welcome to attend the lecture and participate in the dig.For more information, visit www.wufonline.org.

Approximately 300 CSU, Chico students will

provide marketing assistance to local nonprofi t organizations through a joint project with North Valley Community Foundation. Forty-fi ve nonprofi t organizations currently working with the Community Foundation are participating in this project. An orientation meeting was held on campus Monday evening, September 21, to match students with representatives from the organizations they have chosen for this project. Th e September 21 gathering included a training session, “Telling Your Story”, by Laura Cootsona, Director of the Nonprofi t Leadership Institute, a program of North Valley Community Foundation. Cootsona presented information to help the students and nonprofi t representatives present to maximize the impact of this project. Th e goal is for these nonprofi t organizations to signifi cantly increase their visibility, thus increasing donations, volunteers and public understanding of their services. Cootsona stated, “Nonprofi t leaders typically assume that because the work done by their organizations is important, the public understands what

they do and that the public cares. We cannot operate with these assumptions and be successful.” Students involved in this project are all enrolled in Management 300, a Business Communications class that is primarily for students seeking a degree in Business. Professor Bob Sprague is coordinating this eff ort to provide students with relevant “hands on” experience and nonprofi ts with expert advice. “Everyone benefi ts when students and community

organizations collaborate,” stated Sprague. “Th e College of Business students receive a real experience of developing communication products for an organization. Th e non-profi t organizations receive quality products and the innovative energy unique to university students. Both groups grow deeper in what it takes to develop a local community.” Also present was Alexa Valavanis, CEO of North Valley Community Foundation. “Th is is a unique opportunity to connect

resources and needs. Th e students walk away having truly contributed to our community, and the nonprofi ts have access to a whole new resource,” Alexa explained. “Th is project is especially important right now, as nonprofi ts are facing unprecedented funding diffi culties. More than ever, nonprofi ts need the public to understand the services they provide, and ways in which they as community members can help out” she stated. Small groups of students will be meeting with representatives from the 45 nonprofi ts involved during the semester, and developing marketing projects and goals tailored to meet the needs of each organization. North Valley Community Foundation serves Butte, Glenn, Tehama and Colusa with a variety of services. Th ese services include helping donors fi nd the best way to carry out their philanthropic goals, helping nonprofi ts maximize their impact, and educating the community about the importance of supporting their favorite charities.

YELLOWJACKETS TO USHER AT ST. MARY’S-CAL GAME

A rare opportunity will be afforded thirty fi ve members of the Williams High School when they leave on the school bus at 6 a.m. Saturday morning to attend the annual Gael-Bear gridiron classic. The group will work as ushers for one complete aisle, with Coach Mathiesen acting as aisle captain. At 11 a.m. the boys will report at the north end of the California Memorial Stadium where their aisle assignment will be given to them. Upon arriving in Berkeley the group will be divided into several smaller groups and will be shown some of the interesting highlights at the campus by Mr. V. Binsacca, Mr. Austin George, and Coach Marty Mathiesen. The only cost to the boys will be a small fee charge for the passage over and back on the Carquinez Bridge.

BARLETT SPRINGS MAY BE REBUILT SOON

Mrs. C.C. McMahon passed through Williams Monday en route to San Francisco from Bartlett Springs. She stopped for a brief visit with F. E. Kidd, former local representative of the springs.

Mrs. McMahon stated that the springs will possibly be developed be a company. An option has been taken and it is probable that these springs which were at one time, the most popular in the northern part of the state will again be attracting patrons from great distances. Whether a hotel will be rebuilt or individual cabins will be constructed is not known. The rebuilding of the springs would be a big asset to Williams as all shipping and most patrons of the spring pass through Williams.

HANK RHOADES WRITES FROM KOREA

(Contributor’s note-The Smith’s referred to in the letter were Dick and Harry Smith, editors and owners of the Williams Farmer at this time.)Dear Folks- This letter is meant for all the Smiths responsible for my receiving the Williams Farmer. Some of them get lost and others arrive on the mountain top quite beaten to be readable. Magazines and newspapers are passed one man to another and by the time the platoon reads it, a good many pages have been used for lighting fi res and under blankets to keep the dampness out. The Williams Farmer pages are strewn on many ridges and mountain tops here in Korea. Some of the hills we own and a few the Chinese still have.My job is that of a rifl e platoon leader in Easy company of the 21st Infantry Regiment. I have the 2nd platoon and according to the book, it should consist of three nine-man rifl e squads with an automatic rifl e team in each and a fourth squad consisting of a light machine gun

and a 3.5 bazooka team. The two medics and four litter bearers make a total of 42 men. Platoon headquarters consists of me, a platoon sergeant and a runner. This makes a total of 47. The platoon since I have had it has ranged from 52 to 19 men. The present moment fi nds us back to full strength and attached to a tank company as armored infantry. We have been on one mission with them. And despite some 200 mortar rounds the Chinese threw, we are still able to tell about it-thanks to the tank company commander. We are a miserable lot in the infantry, for all we own, we carry on our backs. Each night we dig in on ridge lines and pull foxhole guard, which means one man on guard in each hole all night. The least noise down the slope usually has one of my men tossing a grenade. If there happens to be a squeal, everything opens up. Morning fi nds us thankful for the light and for a ridge line that is still ours. I don’t know when in my life I have been subjected to such physical strain as the mountains and weather in Korea have placed on me. This, plus sleepless nights, early morning attacks and patrols which go on day in and day out, make me wonder if it isn’t hell on earth. The war in Europe saw the C-rations along the roads. This war fi nds the C-rations along the ridgelines. The tanks are far below and the artillery two mountain ridges behind. The air corps is usually fl ying around overhead, waiting for an AT6 plane

to point out their target by fi ring white phosphorus at or near the bunkers. We are thankful they are here and only wish they could win the war without us. It’s hard to believe that after seven battalions of artillery have shelled a hill, the air corps has dropped napalm and the tanks have put in their

licks that you would have over a hundred Chinese to gain its top. The Chinese are small but with a rifl e, he is a tough customer. It gives you a strange feeling to fi nd you have fought up a mountain all day your own against and enemy armed with your own equipment such as machine guns, M1 rifl es, carbines, automatic rifl es and

mortars.My grandfather fought for the South, my dad in WWI and have been in WWII. I have been told this may be the war may be the turning point in civilization. Dad told me he fought the war to end all wars. I’m a bit confused about the principals for whom we fought all these wars, but I am not one bit confused about what will happen if I should fail to keep the high ground for this country. I have met a number of people in the last war and it isn’t uncommon to hear the remark “It’s another war, but still the same people”. The army says six months of combat duty and I will be rotated. I’ll have that in another month and a half, I wonder-? Thanks so much for the paper, but best of all thanks for the spirit behind it.As Ever-Hank

Why? Recent discoveries in the health benefi ts

(anti-oxidants) have caused much publicity. Th e juice has been found to be extremely good for you. Its anti-aging properties appeal to the masses. It’s easy to grow here, and easy to eat. Th e fruit stores easily, and the longer it sits, the better it gets. Most of us have only heard of one variety called “Wonderful”. Actually, there are dozens of varieties out there somewhere, and just now are being collected for propagation and further testing. I have

managed to fi nd the following varieties that show promise here in the valley.

Wonderful – Most common, • medium red, tart fruit. Excellent for juice, jams and fresh fruit

Mellow Yellow – (shown in • photo) Jumbo in size, up to 10 inches, yellow with red blush outside, pink inside, soft edible seeds, excellent in fruit salads

Sweet – Just as they sound, make • excellent juice without adding sugar

Ambrosia – Gigantic fruit, up to • 12 inches in diameter, long living in any soil, will take more moisture

than other varieties, semi-sweet mild fl avor

Kashmir – Pinkish-red fruit with • ruby red seeds and intense fl avor, slight spreading growth pattern

Angel Red – Large red 6-8 inches, • nearly seedless fruit, develops a month earlier than Wonderful, excellent for fl avor

Red Silk – Bright red fruit, very • high in sugar content with an unusual berry fl avor, medium to large fruit, semi-dwarf spreading growth pattern

Ornamental Dwarf – Super heat • tolerant, free fl owering most of the

season, beautiful orange fl owers followed by small tart fruit, grows 6 to 8 feet tall

Miniature – Several new types • exist with fruit as small as a quarter, little leaves and lots of fl owers, excellent potted plant that takes heat, various heights from 2 to 4 feet, very slow grower

More health benefi ts are being discovered with pomegranates all the time!

Pomegranates… Th e most requested tree in Colusa County.

Gardening Tips: Collect iron fi lings from un-der grinders in any metal work-ing shop. Sprinkle them on the ground under your roses, red-woods, camellias, gardenias and especially hydrangeas. (It will of-ten turn hydrangeas blue.) As it rusts, it produces chelated iron, which helps prevent iron defi -ciency in your plants. Ashes from the barbeque will rid your plants of aphids and pro-vide potash to the soil. Just dust this organic treatment on the plants. A little dish soap, vegetable oil and water in a squirt bottle will take care of many insect prob-lems. Just spray on the plants be-fore they get out of control. Make sure to spray in the early morning or late in the day to avoid burning the leaves. Do not use on ferns. Ferns don’t get many bugs; what look like bugs on the underside of the leaves are often spores, the very special way ferns reproduce.

What do Greek columns and pottery from antiquity, a sombrero, a Native American in traditional headdress and a frog have in common? Th ey are all examples of hand-sculpted cakes designed by cake artisan Katrina Struckmeyer. Struckmeyer began her career as a journeyman baker at Raley’s and Bel Air in Sacramento in 1985. After some twists and turns, she landed in rural Arbuckle in 2004 and opened Th e Sidewalk Café in 2007. Th e café serves lunch specials and traditional espresso fare and acts as a front for Struckmeyer’s blossoming cake empire, Sophisticakes. “Cakes can taste as good as they look, and you don’t have to live in a major metropolis to have access to artistry,” Struckmeyer says. “It’s in your backyard.” Clients often bring an idea or a photo to Struckmeyer and ask her to replicate it as a cake. Th e artisan fi rst visualizes the project, then stacks cake and fi nally sculpts. Fondant is easier to work with, but she also sculpts with whipped topping as well. “It is so satisfying when the customer sees the cake for the fi rst time and it exceeds their expectations,” Struckmeyer says. “What a rush!” Struckmeyer creates cakes for all occasions, including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, dog birthdays, bachelorette parties and baby showers. Th ere is no design or theme that is out of the question – just ask. From a barbecue grill with hamburgers and hot dogs on top to a gun in a holster, the artisan’s skill is limitless. “I enjoy the challenge of trying to replicate something and make it look as true to form as possible,” Struckmeyer says. “Th ere’s always somebody wanting a design I’ve never done before. I also take a lot of pride in my work because I’m a perfectionist.” Have a favorite photo you’d love to see on a specialty cake? No problem. Struckmeyer has a special photo printer, which makes capturing an image in frosting, well, a piece of cake. Struckmeyer grew up in the small community of East Nicolaus in south Sutter County, not unlike Arbuckle. Her family

farmed rice and tomatoes, and she was one of 48 people in her graduating class. But she is no stranger to the global community. Struckmeyer is a seasoned traveller and has found inspiration from Rome to the Caribbean. “It’s interesting travelling to diff erent places and sampling their customary food and seeing how they use regional produce, nuts, dairy, etc,” Struckmeyer says. “It’s also interesting to see the diff erent decorating techniques from people all over the world.” Her love aff air with cake decorating and sculpting was birthed from a day in the kitchen with her best friend’s mom at age 15. Struckmeyer had fun learning to decorate cake and a seed was soon planted. “I was always artistic when I was younger,” Struckmeyer says. “I never really recognized it until I got older and started doing

cakes and could mix my artistic ability with my profession.” Besides the sheer enjoyment of making people happy with cake, Struckmeyer also fi nds cake decorating therapeutic. “It’s total therapy for me,” she says. “It’s fun and challenging at the same time. I believe when one is given the gift of creativity, it’s essential to express yourself as often as possible. Th is is an outlet for me with my art.” After baking for 15 years at Raley’s and Bel Air, Struckmeyer pulled a 180 and decided to do something completely diff erent. She worked as a psychiatric nurse for the following six years, during which time she met her almond farmer husband, Mark, on a blind date. “I joke that I went crazy and got married and had a child late in life,” Struckmeyer says. “I stopped working as a nurse and wanted to do something more fl exible after I had my son. Owning my own business was a pretty obvious choice.” After taking some time off to be a mother to her son, Colt, Struckmeyer opened Th e Sidewalk Café in 2007 and rediscovered her passion for cake decorating and designing. “It’s very gratifying working in a small town because you can build wonderful

relationships within the community,” Struckmeyer says. “Everyone has been so supportive. I really enjoy the social interactions the coff ee shop has to off er.” Still, there are drawbacks. “You can only do so many wedding cakes if you only have 1,500 people in the whole town,” Struckmeyer says. “Expanding the business regionally would bring more cake business, which is what I ultimately

want to focus on. Bring it on!”

To contact Struckmeyer, call (530) 476-3663 or e-mail [email protected]. Th e Sidewalk Café is located at 311 5th St., Arbuckle and is open Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Winchester houseA Definite Mystery

BY ELIZABETH KALFSBEEKWriter/Contributor

The Winchester Mystery House is exactly that, a Th e Winchester Mystery House is exactly that, a mystery. While there are theories, no one really knows why

widowed Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress to the Winchester rifl e empire, bought a farmhouse on the outskirts of San Jose and demanded construction take place 24 hours per day for 38 years, at the cost of $5.5 million. Some believe Sarah Winchester bought the farmhouse on the advice of a Boston psychic who told her if construction ever stopped on the property, spirits killed by the Winchester rifl e would haunt her. Sarah sought to appease these spirits, whom she believed responsible for the deaths of her husband and only child. Money was no object, and Mrs. Winchester had the means to design a house in whatever style suited her fancy. She inherited a $20 million fortune following the death of her husband and mother-in-law, as well as 2,777 shares in Winchester stock. Her income was around $1,000 per day, which was tax-free until 1913. Now visitors are able to tour the eccentric mansion designed by the even more eccentric four-foot-ten-inch tall Sarah Winchester. Th e guided mansion tour lasts an hour and is a little over a mile long, covering 2,400 square feet, including doors leading to nowhere and stairs leading to the ceiling. Participants will see many of the home’s 10,000 windows (including one built into the fl oor), 2,000 doors, 47 fi replaces, 40 bedrooms, 40 staircases, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 3 elevators, 2 basements … and 1 shower. Born in 1839, Sarah Pardee married William Wirt Winchester in 1869, the second president of the Winchester rifl e company. Four years later their only child, Annie, was born, but only lived for six weeks. In 1881 Mr. Winchester died of tuberculosis. Mrs. Winchester subsequently left New Haven, Connecticut, in 1884 and moved to San Jose, where she purchased an unfi nished eight-room farmhouse.

Carpenters were hired to work ‘round the clock on construction. Th e house, alas, was never fi nished, when Mrs. Winchester died in her sleep 38 years later September 5, 1922, at the age of 82. Of the 160 rooms in the house, of particular interest is the séance room, which served two purposes for Mrs. Winchester. Th e fi rst was to communicate with the spirits, whom she believed responsible for the death of her family. Th e other was to spy on servants through windows. Sarah Winchester was the only person with a key to the room, which has one entrance but three exits. She visited nightly to commune with the spirits killed by the Winchester rifl e, who guided her construction plans.

V i s i t o r s w i l l also see the damage to the mansion from the 1906 earthquake. Sarah Winchester believed the earthquake was a sign of anger from the spirits for spending so much money on the front 30 rooms of the house. She subsequently boarded up the 30 front rooms, which weren’t opened again until her death. T h e fourth

fl oor balcony, the highest point in the home since the 1906 quake, gives a great view to the bell tower. Th e bell rang daily at noon and 5:00 p.m. to alert servants of meal times. Legend has it the bell also rang daily at midnight and 2:00 a.m., alerting the spirits to enter and leave the séance room. At any given time, Mrs. Winchester employed 18 house servants, 13 carpenters, 10 gardeners and 2 chauff eurs. She paid servants $3 per day in cash, twice the going rate. She paid the servants in cash so she could fi re anyone on the spot if she so

desired. Th e front doors to the mansion are also of interest.

She paid $3,000 for the exquisite stained glass doors from Tiff any’s in New York, yet they were never used. It is said only three people ever walked through the doors; the carpenters who installed them and Mrs. Winchester. Mrs. Winchester never had any guests to use the front doors. Even President Th eodore Roosevelt was denied an audience. Many of the stairs were replaced with easy riser steps, due to Mrs. Winchester’s arthritis. Elevators were eventually installed when she was confi ned to a wheelchair. Th e hallways are mostly narrow and seem a bit claustrophobic. It’s worth the drive

to see the bizarre nooks and crannies of “the mansion designed by spirits.” Don’t miss the door opening to a blank wall, the largest cabinet in the mansion that goes straight through to the back thirty rooms of the mansion, the smallest cabinet that is one-half-inch-thick, the number 13 that recurs throughout the house and other strange phenomena. One tour mate nailed it on the head; “Th is house makes you feel anxious,” she said. “It’s like you’re living in her crazy head.” When to go: Th e museum is open daily from 9:00 a.m. Call for the schedule of fl ashlight tours off ered in October. Located at 525 S. Winchster Boulevard, San Jose 95128. Call (408) 247-2101 for

ATTENTION, ALL PARENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS:


Fall is here, and with the changing of seasons

come allergies and colds for many. With people losing their jobs, and in turn their healthcare, a natural approach to preventive medicine may be right on the money. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” says Michael O’Connor, who has owned and operated Woodland Nutrition for more than 20 years. “Rather than waiting until you get sick, support your body nutritionally.” Th is can be as simple as stocking your kitchen with wholesome foods for a healthy diet and taking a “good ol’ fashioned multivitamin.” People who prepare their bodies nutritionally and still get sick will heal quicker, and the illness will tend to be more short-lived, than a person who is not nutritionally prepared. Sneezes, itchy eyes, runny noses, sore throat, sinus infections, congestion … sound familiar? Th ere are a multitude of theories for cold and fl u season,

including close proximity of kids back in school, visiting relatives during the holidays, dampness creating mold allergies, and so on. “Once a person gets a diagnosis from a doctor, then the choice of treatment is up to the patient, whether it be a more natural approach or a synthetic approach,” O’Connor says. A Western approach to medicine follows a synthetic approach, treating and relieving symptoms right here, right now. A holistic approach treats the cause of the ailment, strengthening the whole body and building resistance. Herbal or natural remedies are sometimes described as “alternative,” but just 100 years ago treatments were all natural. Homeopathic remedies, which may take more time and patience than instant relievers, re-train the body. “It’s very unfortunate we don’t have formal education on a natural approach,” O’Connor says. “Some countries incorporate both a natural approach, as well as a symptomatic approach, to healing, with synthetic medicine and natural remedies side by

side on shelves.” Without this formal knowledge on natural remedies, it is up to people to try out diff erent homeopathic treatments to see what works for them, rather than receiving guidance from a doctor. O’Connor stresses the approach to nutritional support is individual and is diff erent for each person. He encourages people to stop by the shop to chat with him. “Very rarely do you use a natural approach to treat a symptom,” O’Connor says. “(People) have fantastic systems to keep them in balance, and there are wonderful natural tools for individual needs.” Rather than waiting to run to the pharmacy to treat symptoms this season, a holistic approach to maintaining and treating the whole body may mean less illness … and money … altogether. “Whatever you can do to strengthen your body’s systems ahead of time requires fewer treatments down the road,” says O’Connor. Woodland Nutrition is located at 424 First St. For more information, call 666-4393.

Los residentes del condado de Colusa que estén interesados, en un viaje a tierra santa, únicamente necesitan ir no más lejos de la ciudad de Woodland. Individualmente o en grupos, todos pueden llegar al museo Bíblico Arqueológico de Woodland, en el domicilio de Woodland United Fellowship, en el 240 N. West St, y así verán una gran cantidad de artefactos de los tiempos bíblicos. Desde que se inicio un año atrás, el museo bíblico arqueológico de Woodland a tenido más de 800 visitantes.“La mayoría de las personas se sorprenden de el sorprendente despliegue de productos y la calidad de este museo”. Nos dijo el WUF pastor Carl Morgan. “Es algo que no se espera ver en la iglesia, yo creo que somos la única iglesia en el país, con un museo como este.”De los 800 visitantes que tuvimos el ano pasado varios han regresado, con amigos para compartir su entusiasmo, acerca de la gran colección de artefactos originales, de los tiempos bíblicos. El museo también tuvo por toda una semana en el verano la visita de un campamento de niños.”Lo cual sí que es una gran prueba.Casi todas las piezas en el museo tienen una historia Bíblica que la acompaña, dejando en los adultos y en los niños una gran apreciación por las historias Bíblicas.” Ellos llaman a esto el “Tesoro Secreto”, de Woodland, nos dijo Morgan. El museo recibe a grupos de escuelas, iglesias,, grupos de jóvenes y mas, y también está abierto al público cada Viernes, Sábado y Lunes de 1:00 a 5:00p.m.El museo dio sus comienzos en el salón de entrada del Woodland United Fellowship en 2007. Morgan creó un pequeño aparador con unos cantaros y lámparas de excavaciones arqueológicas, en las cual él había participado, y la colección continuo creciendo. “Lo que actualmente se mira son

objetos que provienen del tiempo de Abraham, Moisés, Y David o Jesús, estas historias hacerca de ellos atreves de estos objetos se convierten mas a la vida.” Tiende en remover un poco el ha cercamiento únicamente atreves de las santas escrituras, ya que estos objetos fueron muy grandes en esa vida y algunos son muy mitológicos. Algunos son tan reales como tú o yo”.La pared lado oeste del museo tiene artefactos algunos de la edad Media de Bronce (2,200 B.C. al 1,550 B.C.). Los visitantes encuentran piedras las cuales fueron usadas como armas, y las cuales eran arrojadas con tiras de piel. También verán e sapadas del año 2,000 B.C. y cuchillos usados en sacrifi cios del tiempo de Abraham. Hay alfarería fechada antes del año 3,000 B.C. y un hacha de pelea que proviene aproximadamente de 500 años antes de los tiempos de Abraham. La alfarería incluye terracota cucharones, y otros utensilios domesticas que provienen del tiempo de Job.La pared Norte de museo ensena artefactos provenientes de la edad de Hierro (1,250 B.C. a 587 B.C.), de los tiempos de la monarquía de Isrrael y el rey David, hasta el cautiverio de Babilonia en 587 B.C. Los visitantes verán unas tablas inscritas sin traducir, hechas de lodo y cosidas al fuego para que se hagan duras, lo cual era un método de contratos y convenios.También notaran los recipientes usados para varias cosas como detener aceite, y muchas fueron encontradas con restos de opio. Los sacerdotes de esos tiempos usaban el opio en las ceremonias, las mujeres en la concesión tomaba opio para el dolor.Otras reliquias incluyen jarras de Egipto, ollas para copinar, alfarería, trastos para el uso diario, sartenes, mesas, ollas para guardar, piezas de madera con forma de personas Egipcias, mascaras de momias, y varias cosas más, como ollas de invocación de Lydia usadas por los sacerdotes para adivinar el futuro.

“La arquologia nos ayuda a entender la cultura y el diferente modo de vivir de diferentes culturas, del tiempo bíblico”. La mayoría de la información, que leemos de comentarios bíblicos acerca de la vida cotidiana y la cultura bíblica está disponible gracias al trabajo de los arqueólogos.”La pared del este del museo tiene algunos artefactos de los últimos tiempos de la edad de Hierro, como sartenes para fruta, pero también artefactos provenientes de Helenística, Romanos, y era Bizantina, hasta en esas eras existía el maquillaje, botellas de perfume, agujas, agujas para redes de pesca y herramientas para cirugías, también hay contenedores de aceite, de la era de petra, ollas de vidrio de la era Phoenicia, unas Romanas y solemnes urnas de sepelios de niños de Carthage, donde el infanticidio era desenfrenado.Para aquellos que no conocen la historia bíblica, no se preocupen. Hay tenemos un pergamino de 2 x 10 pies sin tiempo que en conjunto con cada pared ensañara a los visitantes una cronologías de la historia bíblica. Esto nos proveerá de información de los periodos de la era de la biblia, los eventos y lo que caracterizo a estos periodos, también se revelan libros de la biblia que provienen de esos periodos, en la parte de abajo se encontraran objetos que describen algún verso de la biblia. Lo cual la mayoría de nosotros nos interesaremos a leer debido a lo visual de los objetos, mirando estos objetos junto con este pergamino las historias de la biblia cobran vida y son más fáciles de entender.En el lado Sur del museo está el Tell-Hamman, donde Morgan a participado en la excavación de algunos de los objetos en los pasados 4 años. Se cree según el Jordán que es la ciudad de Sodoma así como está escrito en el Genesis. Esta esquina será de 3 dimensión, pues actualmente Morgan esta escavando en Jordania y ahí es donde se colocaran los objetos

que el obtenga, así como también se mostrara el metro de cenizas que existe lo cual es fi el evidencia de la historia en la biblia donde Sodoma fue destruida, por piedras y fuego. Morgan planea regresar el quinto año para el de excavaciones que seria para el mes de Enero del año próximo.Este ano estará enfocado en la edad temprana de Bronce, la cual fue la de Sodoma como está inscrito en el Genesis en la Tabla de naciones antes de la gran inundación, Morgan nos comento ha cerca del proyecto proveniente que es la excavación en Jordán.Woodland United Fellowship’s tendrá los siguientes eventos:El club de los niños arqueólogos: Se reunirá cada otro viernes de las 3:30 a 5:00 p.m. para aprender como la arqueología y la biblia trabajan juntos. Se jugaran juegos como excavaciones de un pedazo específi co.Clases en griego y hebreo: Abierto al público con el pago de una pequeña cuota. Lo básico del Nuevo Testamento griego es de 6:00 a 8:00 p.m. Los jueves.Series de Lectura: El museo ofrece al menos 2 series de lectura cada ano, concerniente a la arqueología y la historia bíblica. Estas son gratis y abiertas al público. El Dr. John Moore comenzara la lectura a las 9:30 a.m. El Sábado 10 de octubre acerca del Interstamental Periodo (de 400 anos en medio del periodo que se escribió el nuevo testamento), y continuara en la tarde a las 1:00p.m.Escava en el Tell-Hamman: El domingo 15 de noviembre a las 6:00p.m. El Dr. Steven Collins, que es el director de la excavación arqueológica en el Jordán, estará compartiendo su más reciente información acerca de la excavación que él cree será el historial del bíblico Sodoma, todos están bienvenidos a la lectura y la participación en la excavación.Para más información por favor entra al www.wufonline.org.

El otoño esta a la vuelta de la esquina, y con el cambio de la estación, también las alergias y los resfriados, llegan a algunas personas. Con las personas perdiendo sus trabajos, declinándoles los cuidados de salud; la prevención con medicina alternativa pude ser una buena alternativa para el ahorro de de dinero en esta crisis económica.“ Una onza de prevención, vale una libra de curación”, nos dijo Michael O’ Connor, quien es dueño y a la misma vez opera el centro de nutrición en Woodland por más de 20 anos. “No debemos de esperar a estar enfermos sino que debemos de ayudar a nuestro cuerpo alimentándolo adecuadamente.”Esto puede ser tan sencillo como tener en la cocina comidas saludables, “así como tomar un buen suplemento de vitaminas”. La gente que prepara sus cuerpos nutricionalmente, y de todos modos se enferman, se sanaran más rápidamente y la enfermedad vivirá menos tiempo en la persona que está preparada nutricionalmente hablando.Los estornudos, la picazón en los ojos, la nariz mojándose continuamente, el dolor de garganta, las infecciones de sinusitis, la congestión…. Se te hacen síntomas familiares? Hay una cantidad de teorías, para la temporada de resfriados y la gripe, incluyendo la proximidad de a cercarse a los niños al regreso de la escuela, visitar amigos o parientes durante las fi estas, lo mojado que crea lama o mojo que trae las alergias, y así sucesivamente.“Una vez que el paciente recibe el diagnostico del doctor, la decisión del tratamiento a seguir es decisión del paciente, si él quiere tomar los tratamientos naturales o escoger los tratamientos sintéticos”, nos comento O’Connor.El oeste se acerca a la medicina sintética, tratando y calmando algunos de los síntomas. Un acercamiento holístico trata esto atreves de la alimentación, reforzando las defensas del cuerpo y en consecuente la resistencia de este ante las enfermedades.Los remedios herbarios o naturales, son nombrados como alternativos, pero apenas 100 anos atrás, los tratamientos eran naturales. Los remedios homeopáticos, reentrenan al cuerpo, lo cual toma más tiempo y paciencia que los calmantes instantáneos.“Es muy desafortunado que no tengamos una formal educación y

ha cercamiento a lo natural”. Algunos países, incorporan los dos lo natural y lo sintético a sus tratamientos medicinales.”Sin una formal educación en los remedios naturales, queda en cada persona el tratar diferentes tratamientos homeopáticos, y mirar que es lo que le resulta mejor a su organismo.O’Connor hace hincapié en el acercamiento a que lo nutricional es individual de cada persona y es diferente en cada organismo. El invita a las personas a visitar su taller y platicar con él.“Muy raramente son usados los tratamientos naturales para tratar síntomas”. Las personas tienen un gran sistema que los mantiene en un buen balance de sanación, pero hay maravillosas herramientas naturales para las necesidades individuales de cada persona.”Podríamos cambiar la visita hacia la farmacia esta temporada y en vez, hacer un acercamiento a lo holístico, para mantener y tratar todo el cuerpo, lo cual puede signifi car menos enfermedades, y el gasto en dinero también se reduciría, todo en conjunto.”“Todo lo que puedas hacer para mejorar y reforzar la salud de tu cuerpo para un futuro requiere de algunos tratamientos atravez del camino” nos termino diciendo O’
