From Our President’s Desk

Wow, I can’t believe that it’s May already! The bloom is about over, the trees have leafed out, and the summer is almost upon us. Thanksgiving is traditionally in the fall, but our Club is fortunate enough to have a great many people to thank year-round. Marcie Skelton and the Orchard Festival Committee have already started planning for this Fall's Festival. They will work hard for months to make this the crowning event for our community, and we couldn't do it without them. Likewise, the Club has allocated $16,500 for scholarships this year - but we depend on the hard work and insight of the two scholarship committees (for Agricultural and Lower-Division scholarships) to review all of the applications and select the recipients from among the many qualified and deserving applications - a hard job for which we are very grateful. Last, but certainly not least, check out the Clubhouse! The work on the Club’s property started in January, when Tyler Christensen & the Edward's Ranch installed a new fence and arranged for the unhealthy trees to be removed around the prop-erty, and continued in earnest throughout the winter. Long & Long Orchards donated and delivered gravel for the driveway. Cyndi Gilles and Frank White and their team (including Rob Schmid, Greg Rash, and West Coast Roofing) have made signifi-cant internal and external repairs and improvements to the Clubhouse, giving it a facelift and ensuring that it remains usable for years to come - all at minimal expense. The Club owes everyone involved a tremendous debt of gratitude, and the officers would like to express our sincere thanks. Our little Clubhouse is the hub of so many activities - including the Orchard Festival - and is the public face of the Club. It’s so nice to see it transform into a more functional and beautiful space.

I am always amazed by how much our community members are willing to help out, and how hard they work when they

do so. That’s one of the great things about living in Dairyville, and being involved with our Club. Please join us at the Club’s events throughout the year and see for yourself!

Arthur Wylene, President

Dear Dairyville

Keeping The Community Informed May, 2013 Issue

45th Annual Dairyville Community Club, Inc. Pancake Breakfast Postponed The Annual Pancake Breakfast, which usually takes place in June, has been postponed this year

because we have been unable to find a chairperson for this event. A new date has not yet been scheduled, but we are hoping that someone will come forward so that we can reschedule the event for some time later this year. It would be a shame to have this long standing Annual Breakfast fall by the wayside. As has been discussed in previous newsletters, the Community Club is seeking a member or members, individuals or families that would be willing to take on the re-sponsibility of overseeing the Pancake Breakfast and/or the Christmas Dinner. We always have an abundance of community members who come forward to take on a particular task to help make these events a reality. The issue we have is that we need someone to oversee the event(s) as a chairperson. Please take a few mo-ments to consider chairing one of these fantastic events. Should you decide to become a chairperson (and we really hope that you will), we will provide you with "How to" materials and support to make the activity easier. Ex-perienced former chairpersons are available to answer questions and eager commu-nity members will be able to assist you with making the event a huge success. Volunteerism is one of the most rewarding ways a person can share their time and talents. Giving back to ones community is so very gratifying. Friendships and con-tacts are created and strengthened. A sense of true belonging is developed. We encourage each of you to become more involved with the Club. It will take all of us working together to keep these special events on the calendar each year. If you are interested in chairing the Pancake Breakfast and/or the Christmas Din-ner or would like more information please contact one of the Dairyville Community Club officers directly or you can send an e-mail or note to us at one of the addresses to the right. We hope to hear from you!

Her work experience includes time spent at Julia's Fruit Stand and Special Times Catering. In her essay, Lily states, "I have always been interested in Sports Medicine, but it is my own experiences that have solidified this pursuit. I, myself, have had three knee surgeries- two ACL reconstructions and a menisectomy. Throughout these I couldn't have asked for a better doc-tor or physical therapists. What they have put into getting me to where I am today has inspired me to do the same. I yearn to help those fallen servicemen to get back to the condition they deserve." Lily's parents are Todd and Karen Brose.

Lauren McFarlan- $2,000 Lauren will also be graduating from Red Bluff High School next month. She has excelled in all of her studies. Her class ranking is 23 out of 321 students.

She is employed as a receptionist by Dave's Tractor, Inc. In Lauren's essay she states, " Personally, I look at teaching as a way to change the world. I will be able to impact children and give them educational strategies as well as life strategies. I will be able to provide them with wisdom which will carry them through life. Also, teaching is a

way of inspiring children to be who they are and to do great things. While teaching may not be the highest paying job or the most exciting, I believe it is one of the most important. I have had many teachers throughout my life who have inspired me. I have learned not only from their academic teaching but also by their examples. I would like to be that kind of teacher, one who teaches academics along with morals." Lauren is the daughter of Rob and Melody McFarlan.

Meredith Lord - $2,000 Meredith will be graduating from Red Bluff High School in June with straight-A's and a grade point average of 4.294. Her class ranking is 4 out of 321.

Her work experience includes being a Pianist and Choir Accompanist for the First United Methodist Church of Red Bluff. In Meredith's essay she states, "I have been fascinated by movies and have always wanted to learn exactly how they are created. In my mind, movies were like an entirely different world that a person with the right skills could make beautiful and compelling, and my dream is to become one of those people, that I can leave that kind of impression on a movie. So, for the past two years, I have been developing some skills in film and sound engineering by uploading videos on You Tube. Since I began, I have received increasingly positive feedback on my projects and have been encouraged to continue with it as my job. Since it is something I love to do and seem to have talent in, I have decided to follow my dream and pursue a career in film." Meredith's parents are Peter and Kimberly Lord.

I will then finish my high unit major of Engineering, with a minor in Bibli-cal Studies at the Christian George Fox University in Portland, Oregon where I also hope to play football.

Lower-Division Scholarship Recipients continued.

reading and playing the guitar. He has volunteered his time for the Re-lay for Life and Scouting for Trees. Robert is a youth soccer referee. In his essay Robert states, "I might seem like the type of person that likes not being behind a desk, and until recently I thought the same way. Last year I took metal shop and I realized that there are more choices for employment other than the behind-the-desk jobs that schools are almost forcing everyone into. This year I am taking auto shop, and that has also helped me discover the opportunities that there are for people that do not want to be stuck in jobs that are repetitive, commuting day in and day out, spending both work and their at-home time in front of a computer doing work until they retire." Robert is the son of Michael and Kellie Massa.

Corey Carpenter- $2,000

Corey is a 22 year old Tehama County native and graduate of Red Bluff High School. He completed his freshman and sophomore years of higher learning at Mod-esto Junior College. He is currently in the process of completing his Bachelor of Sci-ence requirements at California State Univer-sity, Chico. In June of 2013 he will be trans-ferring to Oklahoma State University where he will pursue a Masters Degree in Animal

Science with an emphasis in Swine Nutrition. Upon completion of his Masters Degree he is planning to continue his studies in order to obtain a PhD in Monogastric Nutrition. Upon completion of his education, Corey hopes to be directly in-volved in production agriculture. He would also like to become a profes-sor at a junior college or university. In his essay, Corey states, “I plan to contribute to the livestock indus-try on a very broad spectrum. Not only do I plan to raise purebred Hampshire hogs and commercial cattle throughout my entire lifetime, I plan to educate young people about livestock and livestock production so that they may go into the world and give the livestock industry a bet-ter name. I believe that true success comes from setting your wants aside, and making a sacrifice so that someone else may succeed. We as agriculturists can only get better at educating the common public about not only what we do but why we do it. Ultimately, no matter where I am in five, ten or twenty years I know I will be involved in agriculture in some fashion or another. Agriculture is not a job; it is a lifestyle and has been instilled in me as a passion from my family and those whom I sur-round myself with.” Corey received a Letter of Recommendation from Celina Phillips, Associate Professor at CSU, Chico. She states that “Corey’s potential for success is great! His passion and enthusiasm for the livestock in-dustry are infectious to those around him! Regardless of the task, he tackles the challenge with determination and thoroughness. He is an effective communicator and works well with diverse personalities.” He also received a Letter from Mike Paul, CEO for the National Swine Registry. In his letter, Mr. Paul explained that, “In his position as the NSR field staff intern, Corey was asked to accept the responsibility and duties of a much more seasoned employee, as we utilized his peo-ple skills and love for the swine industry to make visits and calls on our senior members. Also, Corey’s peers have recognized his leadership strengths as they first elected him to the NJSA Board of Directors and he currently serves as the President of this organization which includes over 12,000 members. He has demonstrated a very outstanding work ethic and the initiative it takes to be a self-starter.” While in college, Corey has received numerous scholarships and awards and has provided many hours of community service to several causes. He currently manages a 30 sow production hog farm at the CSU, Chico Swine Unit, which produces hogs for 4-H and FFA members to show at county fairs.

Jadda Miller- $2,000

Jadda is a 23 year old native of Tehama County and graduate of Red Bluff High School. She completed her freshman and sophomore years of schooling at Shasta Col-lege. She is a junior at the University of Cali-fornia, Davis working toward earning a Mas-ter's degree in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems. Upon graduating with her degree, Jadda

Introducing the 2013 Upper-Division Scholarship Recipients The Upper-Division Scholarships are awarded to registered full-time college students who have graduated from a Tehama County high school. These scholarship awards are to be used during the student's junior or senior year of college and the recipients must be majoring in some aspect of agriculture. Scholarships are also awarded to graduate students who previously graduated from a Tehama County high school. The scholarship funds are used to pay for tuition, fees, books and supplies.

Tehama County and begin practicing where I also hope to increase my cattle herd and run them as a commercial cow-calf operation." Brooke received a Letter of Recommendation from Celina Phillips, PhD, Associate Professor at California State University, Chico. In her Letter, Ms. Phillips states, "Brooke is not just 'book smart', she can apply what she learns to the everyday world around her. She has the desire to attend veterinary school, and I can gladly say that Brooke is someone who I would be happy to have as a vet. She has a great blend of com-mon sense, knowledge and critical thinking ability. Furthermore, her desire to increase her knowledge regarding the livestock industry is strong. Her love and passion for the livestock industry is apparent every time I get the chance to visit with Brooke." Brooke also received a Letter from Sandra Flournoy, DVM at the Antelope Veterinary Hospital in Red Bluff, CA. Dr. Flournoy states, "As an employee she is the 'whole package', with a great sense of humor and great work ethic. She is responsible, dependable, cool under stress, sensitive and sensible. Attention to detail is essential as mis-takes can be disastrous, and Brooke has quickly become a valued em-ployee in that regard. She is what I call a 'set and forget' employee - one you can give instructions to and be confident they will be followed without further supervision. Brooke has quickly become proficient in all areas of the hospital dealing with reception and scheduling, finances and inventory, anesthesia induction and recovery, surgery prep and assistance, patient restraint and care, and facility maintenance and sani-tation." Brooke continues to carefully balance her educational requirements with her employment and volunteer activities.

The Dairyville Community Club, Inc. wishes all of our Scholarship Recipients great success with all of their educa-tional and career endeavors.

Upper-Division Scholarship Recipients continued plans to use her education in a career as a Sustainable Agriculture En-trepreneur. In her essay, Jadda states, "I grew up on a cattle and horse ranch outside of Red Bluff, where I was raised to love and respect food. Be-fore I could walk my mom and dad had me on the back of a horse help-ing them gather and sort cattle. This lifestyle instilled in me a love and appreciation for where our food comes from and inspired me to attend culinary school in Napa Valley. My interests with where our food comes from only grew stronger while at culinary school. I had always been conscious of how I sourced my food that I consumed, however I never had taken a deep look into our world's current food system. I became especially aware of how different cultures ate when I studied at the Sor-bonne University in Paris, France. Families ate produce straight from the farmers market, outside in parks- this gave me a whole new per-spective on not just what people ate, but how people ate." Jadda received a Letter of Recommendation from Carol Hillhouse of the UC Davis Student Farm Agricultural Sustainable Institute. In her letter, Ms. Hillhouse states, "Ms. Miller's unique and varied educational and work experience provide her with a broad background that is serv-ing her very well as she completes her undergraduate education here at UC Davis. She brings a practical California farm family sensibility to her recent studies in culinary arts and now at UCD in sustainable agriculture and food systems (SAFS). I have been impressed observing her active-ly making the very most of her time here on campus." "She is an excel-lent team member and an individual from whom everyone in our pro-gram has benefited." Jadda has also received a Letter from Chip Thompson, Editor for the Daily News and Tehama the Magazine. In his letter, Mr. Thompson explains, "Jadda is a bright, motivated and professional woman who has been producing editorial content for the Daily News and Tehama the Magazine in Red Bluff for more than a year. Her love of local, organic and flavorful produce is evident in her writing and she is able to not only explain complex farming practices in simple terms but take local foods to the next level by providing recipes that showcase their virtues." While in college, Jadda has received several awards. She has also provided many hours of volunteer service to the community.

Brooke Hencratt- $1,000

Brooke is a 20 year old native of Te-hama County and a graduate of Los Moli-nos High School. She completed her fresh-man and sophomore years of higher edu-cation at Shasta College. She will be con-tinuing her education at California State University, Chico in the fall, majoring in Animal Science. Her ultimate goal is to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine de-gree.

Upon completion of her studies, Brooke plans to become a Large Animal Veterinarian. In her essay, Brooke states, "I have been employed at Antelope Vet-erinary Hospital in Red Bluff for the past two and a half years, where I am a Kennel Technician." "After completing my first semester at Chico State I decided that I wanted to become a Veterinary Technician as well, so I applied to Penn Foster Community College where I am currently taking classes online. When I'm not working or going to school I volun-teer with the Deer Creek Watershed Conservancy and attend meetings and work at social gatherings." "My career plans following graduation are to hopefully attend University of California, Davis's veterinary school. My plans are to follow the large animal tract and to become a Large Animal Veterinarian specializing in cattle. I am then hoping to return to

A Note From Our Treasurer

Hello from your Treasurer & Scholarship Chair! After approximately 10 years, our Clubhouse has received some attention.

Wildflower Race Donation

In late April, the annual Wildflower Race was held. This event draws professional and amateur athletes to Red Bluff for this grueling yet exciting challenge of mental and physical strength. Alan and Bev-erley Abbs, world-class athletes themselves, host the event each year. Once again this year, the Abbs have generously contributed a por-tion of the race proceeds to the Dairyville Community Club, Inc. Upper-Division Scholarship Fund. The amount that they have donated this year is $1,665. Through the years, Mark and Cyndi Gilles have assisted the Abbs in a variety of ways including recruiting Community Club "Cookie Queens" to bake cookies for the race participants. The Cookie Queens provided hundreds of cookies to the delight of the athletes. Our thanks to all of the Cookie Queens: Terri Buchner, Becky Calkins, Joanne Carroll, Mary Christensen, Kari Dodd, Mily Garrison, Marilyn Long, and Susie Mustaine. On behalf of the Dairyville Community Club, Inc. and the students who will receive benefit from their contribution, we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the Abbs for their very generous donation.

A Few Words From Our Secretary Many of you who are reading this newsletter know me. I have been actively involved with the Dairyville Community Club, Inc. for decades. My earliest memories of the Club were when I was a child. I fondly remember standing in line at the Pancake Breakfast, breathing in the aroma of the outdoors blended with freshly prepared pancakes. I remember thinking this is such a wonderful community, and everyone seemed to know everyone else. The enthusiasm of the crowd was amazing. There was a need and the community pulled together to make that fundraiser a big success. My memories are of the first Pancake Breakfast that was held outside in front of the clubhouse back in 1968. I have spent my entire adult life volunteering for one cause or another, becoming more and more passionate about each or-ganization and activity. Some of the most rewarding times of my life have been when I have volunteered my time and talents to a cause that was important to me. Whether it is putting together a reading program at the school, raising money for college scholarships, helping in a classroom, or preparing this newsletter, I feel certain that I have made a difference. Volunteerism fills me with pride, joy, and great satisfaction. You too can make a difference! I have found that some of the most successful activities, events and fundraisers in the not-for-profit sector are organized and put on by dedicated volunteers. It is my experience that volunteers are involved because they want to be, and because they feel that it is their responsibility to give back to their community. It is easy to sit back and let someone else do all of the work. I encourage each of you to step up and become more involved in the Dairyville Community Club's events and activities. As a group we have many accomplishments to be proud of: the Dairyville Orchard Festival, Pan-cake Breakfast and Christmas Dinner; the $142,500 in funds that have been awarded to local students in the form of college scholarships; the ongoing partnership with Lassen View Elementary School, etc. Whether you have a limited amount of time to contribute or lots of time to volunteer, we welcome you. When more of us lend a helping hand the burden is lightened for us all. You will have an opportunity to make new friends and you will be able to share your talents. Please contact the Community Club today and become more involved! We really do need your help. The officers can be reached by e-mail at www.dairyvillefestival.org or by standard mail at P.O. Box 973, Los Molinos, CA 96055.
