PoliceLogs In such tumultuous times as these, one might consider me crazy but I still believe in the basic goodness of people. Because of that, my feelings to- wards most are benev- olent; most of the time, I cut peo- ple some slack, assist the downtrodden when possi- ble, and experience a gen- eral contentedness with life. The result is, on the whole, people treat me well and I feel fortunate. (Although I periodically forget, so you might need to remind me.) Because I believe, I act. Actions cause re- sults, which feed into — or work against — my be- liefs. In that process is another of the great cir- cles of life. Net to Identity — what we say after we the words, "I am…" — beliefs are the bedrock of who we are — and who we be- come. To a large extent, they determine whether we live well, the quality of our relationships, and even our connection with God and the Universe. Powerful forces, they are not to be reckoned with lightly. So what are they specif- ically? Beliefs are closely held values accepted as facts and validated by obser- vation; they are the es- sential component in life- style change (or stagna- tion). It is hard to look in the mirror while weigh- ing 250 pounds and have faith that "this time" I will be successful, when in fact, all previous at- tempts merely ended as "failure," leaving me weighing more now than I ever have previously. If I do not believe, it matters not how many experts tell me to eat less and be more active. In my mind, I know I will not succeed and will therefore see failure, not setbacks; de- feat, not delay. I will quit. In a contest between be- liefs and logic, beliefs will always triumph. It won't even be close. I was not born believ- ing that I would always be fat; that took time to develop. As a child, my parents, concerned about my size, stressed its dan- gers. Doctors put me on thousand-calorie diets with purple-ink mimeo- graphs and lists of low calorie foods. My clothes came from the "husky" section. Boys teased me; girls avoided me. Each time I was impeded in my diet, internal voices screeched, "See, you can't change; it's impossible!" I stopped, further validat- ing my beliefs. Yet, it's essential to note that we are not born with our believes. We develop them based on what's im- portant to us (values) and what we experience (ob- servations). Therefore, it's inarguable that we can in- deed develop new beliefs when our old ones no lon- ger serve us. What's counterintuitive is that process happens not by thinking big, but small. One's life is not con- structed in years, rather via minutes and seconds. Small, almost unperceiv- able ticks of the clock come together to make me who I am, leaving behind who I was. It is almost im- perceptibly slow, but is happening — even now. The "you" who started reading this column is not the same "you" who will finish it as time and expe- rience have passed even in these 500 or so words. On a larger level, once I no longer looked at 70 pounds — or even ten — as the validation of suc- cess, changes began. In- stead of the "whole thing," I targeted five pounds, or three, sometimes even one. At times, success was getting through the next five minutes. Each slight triumph — if focused upon — became an in-your-face defiance of the old guard, knocking down its structure, brick- by-brick, girder by ledger. To adjust beliefs, con- centrate on minor victo- ries. They will get larger when given their due.

Oldestfiremanplacedonthehonorarylist The driving under the influence task force will be conducting roving patrol Friday in the area of north- ern Tehama County. The task force will be targeting drivers who are under the influence of al- cohol or drugs and strictly enforcing a zero tolerance policy on juvenile drivers who have been drinking or are in possession of alcohol. The DUI task force is comprised of the California Highway Patrol, Red Bluff Police Department, Corn- ing Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department and Tehama County District Attorney's Bureau of Investigation Of- fice. Each member of the task force has specialized training and expertise re- lated to the recognition and apprehension of impaired drivers. SAFETY DUI task force plan to patrol on Friday Scott Marcus The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Los Angeles County officials have filed documents seeking to be- come the guardian of a Cal- ifornia man with dementia who was found disoriented and alone at a British bus station two years ago and became the subject of a TV documentary, according to a newspaper report. Earl Roger Curry, 76, was returned to the U.S. last year by British author- ities after the BBC aired the show examining how he was found so far from home. He is now in a Los An- geles-area nursing home, with county officials seek- ing conservancy of him, the Los Angeles Times re- ported Wednesday. "No one in his family is prepared to accept re- sponsibility for him," said the document filed by the Los Angeles County public guardian. The BBC documentary alleged that Curry's family simply left him in England, though no charges have been filed against them. Curry's son has denied the allegation, which was also noted in the county docu- ments. Curry's family mem- bers could not be reached Thursday for comment. Curry spent months at a nursing home in central England as British police investigated his origins with help from Interpol. All he could recall was his name was "Roger Curry," according to the documen- tary. With few clues, investi- gators made an interna- tional public appeal last March for help identifying the man, and internet de- tectives around the world took up the challenge. One woman came for- ward to say she had gone to high school with Curry. Authorities eventually figured out that Curry lived in the Los Angeles County city of Whittier, where some neighbors told the BBC that he often roamed the neighborhood in a dis- oriented state. The LA County public guardian said it was exam- ining the circumstances of how Curry came to be on his own in Britain. LOS ANGELES Officials seek custody of man with dementia By Sophia Bollag The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Campaign committees raised a record $466 million to influence proposals on the 2016 bal- lot in California from legal- izing marijuana to limiting prescription drug prices, according to an Associated Press analysis of campaign finance documents. The tally for more than 80 committees supporting or opposing 17 measures on the state's November ballot surpassed the previ- ous record of $438 million raised for ballot proposals in 2008. Campaign finance re- ports submitted this week also provided an early glimpse at fundraising for the 2018 governor's race, with Lt. Gov. Gavin New- som, state Treasurer John Chiang and former Los An- geles Mayor Antonio Vil- laraigosa reporting seven- figure hauls.
