Museum to host appraisal day fundraiser This might come as a shock — but I haven't writ- ten this column for the last 13 years for the money I get. I know, I know; I've shattered your world with that rev- elation. But I trust you'll get over it. Of course, that begs the question, "Why do I write it?" Okay, I'll tell you. Well, as soon as I figure it out at least. I mean, I like to write, mostly, and it causes me to think, which is a good thing, mostly. And the discipline from writing ev- ery week has allowed me to publish nine books on Amazon. So, I guess that's something. However, prob- ably the biggest reason is that lots of folks come up to me and tell me that they like it, again, mostly. A typ- ical conversation went like this last week: Stranger: "Do I know you?" Me: "Um, I don't know, where might we have met?" "Wait, I know now. You're that guy, aren't you?" I've lived too many years to respond with "yes" to a question like that without knowing the full context. It could be "Are you that guy who was sleeping with my wife?" I am most certainly not That guy. So, I answer, "Which guy?" "You know, the guy that writes that column in the paper?" "Oh, yeah, that's me." "I really like your writ- ing." "Thank you." "Do you mind if I ask you a question? "Sure, would you like to ask another?" "Huh? (pause) Oh. I get it. (chuckle) That's funny. Anyway, what exactly is it about? Is there like a cen- tral theme to it or some- thing? I mean, it's enter- taining — and sometimes you say some pretty intelli- gent things." "Sometimes?" "Well, you know; just keeping it real." "Yes, I understand. Anyway, it started out about weight loss but it's morphed. I help people change habits they don't like about themselves in a motivational and light man- ner." "Hmmm… so if it's about changing habits, especially about weight loss, what's the best advice you can give me to stick to my diet?" I get asked that ques- tion a lot, believe it or not. So, I have an answer at the ready. "Don't fo- cus on changing the be- havior; instead, realize it's the thoughts that trig- ger the feelings that trigger the behavior. Change the thoughts and the behavior will fall in line." "Let me give you a spe- cific example: I feel re- ally deprived when I think about giving up my favor- ite foods, so even though I start the day with good in- tentions, I inevitably give in. Then I feel like I blew it, so as long as I blew it, I might as well really blow it and I can start tomorrow. Then I go really nuts and eat everything bad. How do I change that?" "You're setting up a false choice. You're comparing eating well to depriving yourself, so you feel angry. Because you do, you rebel by 'telling' your diet that no one will control you and you'll eat anything you damn well want. Is that right?" "Well, yes. But it sounds ridiculous when you word it that way." "No judgment, just ex- plaining what I see. If how- ever, you changed your thoughts to 'I'm learning to eat a new way to eat be- cause I like feeling in con- trol and being healthier and I'm enjoying all the energy I'm getting from eating well,' how does that feel?" "Much better; empow- ering" "Therefore, you're more inclined to do what you need to do. It's still the same food, but your thoughts about it changed and so did the feelings asso- ciated with it. Due to that, you'll act differently; you'll eat better. What you say to yourself determines what you do to yourself. Change your thoughts; change your life."

SCOTT MARCUS Changeyourthoughts; change your life Scott Marcus Report of the Grand Jury Committee on Court- house: "We, the courthouse committee, after carefully inspecting the building, and various offices, beg to submit the following: "That the offices are as well and neatly kept as possible under the pres- ent conditions, and the of- ficers both courteous and efficient. "We find the building in the most deplorable condi- tion; the walls settling in places; some of the win- dows out of plumb; the under pinning rotting and the floors unlevel; the plaster and paper loose, cracked and torn, and the whole building so anti- quated, and in such a state of decay, and so entirely inadequate to properly house the several county offices (six of which, the treasurer, tax collector, district attorney, superin- tendent of schools, county librarian and county hor- ticulture commission) having to be provided for with offices, not within the courthouse, but in various buildings about town. "And the building, in general, is a discredit, if not a disgrace to our pros- perous county and com- munity. "We therefore recom- mend that the taxpay- ers and people of Tehama county at once take the necessary steps prepara- tory to the building of a new courthouse that will be ample and sufficient for the county's needs."
