POLICE LOGS MANTON Farmers and orchards living in this vi- cinity particularly those on the Shasta county side of the creek, are anxious to have a public road built connecting Manton with the Battle Creek bottom and extending to Balls Ferry, a distance of 20 miles. The Northern Califor- nia power company unites with the settlers in asking for the "way out." Fred J. Engle is circulating peti- tions. As it is now, the people of this region wishing to go to the county seat find the best way is to go to Red Bluff and there take the train to Redding. It is a long way round. By building 20 miles of road to Balls Ferry the people of Manton will have a short and natural outlet. Manton has been bottled up for 25 years. Thirteen years ago the county sur- veyor mapped out a route and estimated that the twenty miles of road now sought would cost $2,500. — April 24, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

IFYOUGO Online: For more information, call 527-3101or visit HTTP://CETEHAMA.UCANR.EDU.R As children, we couldn't wait to get older. The first coolest thing was when our ages hit double dig- its. Then, something else new and excit- ing was al- ways around the bend. At 13, it was my Bar Mitzvah. Sixteen brought a driver's license; 18 ushered in the newly earned right to vote; 21 celebrated with (too much) champagne. There was al- ways another reason to move on to the next year. Bring 'em on. Line 'em up! Don't stop! However as John Mel- lencamp lamented in "The Real Life," "It's a lonely proposition when you re- alize/That there's less days in front of the horse/Than riding in the back of this cart." Aside from the fact that it should be "fewer days," (sorry, I couldn't re- sist) the concept is spot on. It's macabrely humor- ous that as soon as one be- gins to realize he's on the downward slope of the hill, vainly pumping the brakes, the calendar's pages flip ever faster. When we were young and immortal, time crawled at a fossil's pace. As the clock ticks louder, it also accelerates. The result is many of us begin to poorly affirm what aging is about, view- ing it negatively. I mean, yeah, sure, there's that "death thing" looming out there, which does cast a pallid gloom on post-mid- dle-age. Yet, spending my remaining (hopefully) many years bemoaning a natural and unavoidable process seems a pretty rotten way to appreciate those very years, wouldn't you say? Therefore, I thought it would be good to wrap my brain around the cool things about get- ting older so whenever yanked to the getting- older-sucks magnet, I can repel easier. First, the hastening stride of time allows a much richer appreciation of "smaller moments." Sit- ting on a couch with my wife reading, observing a toddler giggle with joy- ful abandon while chas- ing a puppy in the park, or indulging myself long enough to simply soak in the red-orange-yellow sun as it melts behind the ocean brings with them joy and peace I rarely took time to experience when building a career or grow- ing a family. Also, I don't care as much what others may think. Sure, I'm still disinclined to wear a Hawaiian shirt, plaid short-shorts, check- ered knee socks, and black wing tip shoes as an ensem- ble. Yet, self-acceptance ush- ers in an attitude of "this is me, take it or leave it". With that, comes freedom. Don't misunderstand; "take it or leave it" doesn't make one necessarily rude; as aging also car- ries with it a lower toler- ance for cruelty. Never was I harsh, but now, with age, comes the wisdom about when to open my yap and when not. Should I dis- agree with someone, my credo has evolved from "me first" to "compassion first." The awareness of how words and actions af- fect others makes a mas- sive difference in how I utilize them. Finally, whether it's the result of these other lessons or not, the unsurpassed im- provement about these days in which I find myself is the quality of relationships is far superior to any I had previously. Not only am I less likely to spend precious moments suffering the fate of fools, but correspond- ingly the people I care about mean so much more now than I ever knew they could. Even better, that tra- jectory appears to be con- tinuing. There is fullness to every moment with friends and family, which — as with good wine or fine cheese — cannot be rushed but only arrives with the patience of aging well.
