2A Daily News ��� Friday, December 28, 2012 Community people&events Celebrating 60 years Courtesy photos Dec. 12 was a special day for Marge and Joe Brunk of Red Bluff. It was their 60th wedding anniversary. They were married Dec. 12, 1952, in the Presbyterian Church in Santa Rosa. There was a special celebration arranged by their children, Rick Brunk, son, and Cathy Harrison, daughter. Dinner was enjoyed at the Countryside Cafe by friends and family. The star of the entertainment was their great-granddaughter, 7-yearold, Clarissa Barone, who sang Silent Night. Following her solo ghreat-Ggrandpa Joe sang Silent Night in the original German words. Glasses were raised to toast Marge and Joe���s 60 years of marriage. Following dinner and entertainment, a beautifully decorated cake was served and enjoyed by all. SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc. What works out of 600 diets? Can you imagine a car company advertisement: "Never use another drop of gasoline again, and drive as far as you want"? What would happen to an investment firm that guaranteed to "double your money overnight with no risk"? Or how about mortgage companies that tout, "no money down, no interest, own your own home, whether or not you can pay for it." Oh, wait. The last statement did happen ��� and we are still dealing with the results. So why can so many in the weight loss industry make equally blatant false claims and still remain in business? More importantly, why do normally rational, intelligent people ignore what they know and put their faith in untested, poorly documented, heavily hyped diets listed on dubious web pages or shouted at us during 30-minute infomercials? Like the coal fire in Pennsylvania that���s been burning for 50 years; no matter what we try, we cannot make the yearly onslaught of false claims and unreliable statistics that permeate the media at the beginning of each year go away. If the results weren���t so dangerous (gambling with our health), some of the claims would be laughable: "Lose 20 pounds in one week!" "Don���t exercise or change what you eat ��� while dropping weight overnight!" Of course, there are always my favorites, the conspiratorial, secretive, clandestine ones: "The weight loss program the diet industry doesn���t want you to know about!" I found a web page dedicated to reviewing virtually any diet it could find. Listed there were 610 titles (yes, I counted) with an incredibly wide range of names.

For just an afternoon, the area around the TCM looked like it had returned to the early 1900s. There developed an interesting divergence of attention ��� the horseless carriage owners wanted to tour the Museum, but the Museum staff wanted to stay outside and enjoy the auto spectacle. In the end, all got what they came for ��� an afternoon of good people sharing elements of the past and enjoying the company of others with similar or complementary interests. The TCM invites any and all groups to tour the Museum and delve into Tehama County's past. Arrangements for any day of the week may be made by calling 384-2595. 90 years PATH schedule ago...
