Although this is not a theater review, I admit that even though the cast was three weeks out from opening night, my wife and I both truly enjoyed it. The play bounces lightly between humorous and tender moments with an unforced ease and the tight cast of four actors performed well with and up against each other. Never did I check my watch – and that's rare until itself. However, the reason I was invited was not to provide good reviews (um, which I think I just did…) but because the plot, to a large extent, deals with how our inner dialog determines the quality of the lives we lead. Since you're reading this column, I assume you understand that is one of the pillars about which I write. Maureen Mulligan, an overweight woman, is afraid of romance because she might get hurt. Because of her critical self-talk, she masks her pain with humor and conjures up excuses to avoid becoming involved with a sweet, slightly awkward gentleman who sees her for who she is as a complete person, paying little heed to the superficial level of what she weighs. The playwright, Jon Lonoff, must have been overweight, as he gives eloquent voice to what so over 250 pounds; I'm pretty sure many of us with body image the clerk could figure out I didn't support that much bulk "issues" say to ourselves — on carrot sticks and celand then reflects that interery. More importantly, nal dialog's outcome in the she probably didn't care. quality of our lives.

Marcus Red Bluff rounds up recyclables The Red Bluff RoundUp, America's largest three-day rodeo, unites rodeo fans near and far to celebrate all things western. Whether it's clocking the longest the bull ride, rounding the barrels at top speed or roping wild horses, the challenge is in the heart of the rodeo. Rodeo fans are challenged to recycle more beverage containers than last year. Last year just more than 400 pounds of recyclables were collected by the PATH (Poor and the Homeless) Recycling Management Team during the Red Bluff Round-Up alone and will be at it again this year at the Tehama District Fairground. To surpass last year's record, be sure to place empty beverage containers in the designated recycling collection containers. For convenience, the recycling containers will be placed near trash bins and are designed only for plastic, glass and aluminum beverage container collection. The PATH Team provides a free service to the Courtesy photo Daniel Humphreys, left, and Gary Crews, right, of the PATH Recycling Team show rodeo fans ClearStream recycling containers to 'RoundUp' recyclables. community by making recycling available to attendees during various events at the Tehama District Fairground. Recycling is encouraged in an effort to conserve landfill space, conserve virgin materials, reduce pollution, reduce the demand for energy use and support job creation. Recycling at the fairgrounds is a collaborative effort between the Tehama County Pathways Program, Tehama County Sanitary Landfill Agency, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital and Tehama District Fairground. The Agency trains the PATH Recycling Team and in coordination with the hospital, supplied recycling containers. Fairgrounds staff assist in implementation. This partnership aims to not only increase recycling during events, but to support PATH Team members acquiring job skills. Recycling reminds our community and rodeo attendees from all over the world, a cleaner and healthier future is worth investing in. That is a cause rodeo fans can really hoop and holler about.
