Free fatherhood workshop offered April 30
"My dad's the best!" Words
that every father loves to
hear. Whether a new dad or
weathering the teen years
with their children, fathers
will always be the first and
most important man in a
child's life.
Fathers will have the
chance to learn more about
their importance and role at
a workshop Saturday, April
30, at St. John's Parish Hall
on Lawrence Street in Quin-
cy. The free Fatherhood
Workshop begins at 10 a.m.
Lunch will be served and
participants will have the op-
portunity to win prizes. Reg,
ister by calling 283-1242. The
deadline is April 25.
Two sessions will be
presented by Louie Gomes,
the Father Involvement Co-
ordinator for Shasta Head
Start. The first session will
address the differences in fa-
ther love and mother love.
Gomes said that he will talk
about why it's different and
why the differences matter.
"Strategies to Enlist, En-
gage and Equip Fathers and
Father Figures" will provide
participants with an under-
standing of the different
ways rooms and dads show
their love for their children.
Participants will learn tech-
niques that build confidence
and character in the fathers
who are involved with their
children.
Gomes will also present
"Becoming a Love and Logic
Parent" which is designed to
help parents find specific an-
swers and actions for some of
those difficult moments in child
rearing. These simple tech-
niques are effective with all
children, from toddlers to teens.

KEDDIE, from page 4A
seems strange that the De-
partment of Justice wouldn't
have acted on the therapist's
information.
How could two police agen-
cies, one local and one feder-
al, miss two independent op-
portunities to follow up on a
possible confession?
When questioned about this
claim, the Plumas County
Sheriff's Office allowed this
reporter to view a later re-
port, which appeared to be re-
lated to the first one.
The report indicated the
therapist was interviewed by
the Department of Justice in
reaction to the original report.
The document explained
the therapist told investiga-
tors he spoke with Martin
several times but the vet nev-
er admitted to the killings, es-
sentially denying that he told
his friend he received a con-
fession.
The report indicated Mar-
tin's wife called the therapist
after the murders saying she
thought Martin committed
them but that Martin denied
this later.
There is no way to know if
the fimmakers somehow
missed this second report or
why it wasn't included in the
film, but it seems to signifi-
cantly blur the picture pre-
sented in the film.
We are left with three
pieces of evidence: a report in-
dicating a friend of a thera-
pist was told that a confession
occurred, a report indicating
the therapist told the police
there was no confession, and
a modern-day interview with
the therapist saying he did re-
ceive a confession and told
the authorities about it.
Making matters more con-
fusing, the filmmakers report-
ed they had a falling-out with
some members of the sheriff's
office during the final stages
of making the film, while the
sheriff's office responds that
the filmmakers rushed the
documentary out before tak-
ing the time to consider all
the information.

Over 18 years experience_
_ f
chance by a sheriff's depart-
ment to have unprecedented
access to the files related to
an infamous case -- has in
many ways become a symbol
of the convoluted and tragic
mess the unsolved mystery
has always represented in
this county.
One would hope that time
would make the case clearer
rather than muddier, but for
now this film is a mirror im-
age of the Keddie murders
themselves: depressing,
messy and yet strangely cap-
tivating, a reflection of the
type of confusing tragedy
that many people simply
can't turn their eyes away
from, even though it seems
to'be one of those events we
will never be able to truly
make sense of no matter how
closely we look.
