Police reports Becoming a statistic Worldometers.info is an extremely easy-to-navigate web site. On one page, one can watch "real time world statistics" on all classes of information. For example, as I write this at 10:12 in the morning 83,036,521,929 emails had already been sent today. (Incidentally, in the time it took me to type that last sentence, the total increased by more than 210 million.) A smattering of other attention-grabbing statis- tics: • There are 2,908,626,597 internet users in the world (grow- ing rapidly) • 288,076 new books have been published so far this year (My future daughter-in-law accounts for one of those!) • There have been 1,683,340,798 Google searches so far today (three of which were mine) I was fascinated to discover that are about 1.5 billion overweight and 529 million obese folks on the planet com- pared to 894 million undernourished. (it appears if we could move some of our food from the "haves" to the "have nots," it would benefit all.) Relatedly, obesity has cost the United States economy over 245 million dollars today alone and approximately 86.5 million dollars have been shelled out on weight loss programs in that same period. If you're into stats, the site will suck you in like a vacuum cleaner on steroids. Our planet is crowded – and growing more at a net rate of about 2.2 people per second (4.1 born and 1.9 die). As of February 12, 2014 we share our planet with 7,212,822,888 other individ- uals. Using those same num- bers, approximately 361,000 will inhale their first breath today while sadly,173,500 will take their last. Not one of those souls is more important than any other. Abhaya's family in India will grieve as deeply over her loss as will Monica's children in California. Hav- ing said that, some names reach a stratospheric level of recognition in their time here; one of which was Phillip Seymour Hoffman, a gifted actor by any measure. What shocked so many people, including myself, was not the sudden and tragic loss of an A-class actor at a young age, but the circumstances sur- rounding his demise. Allegedly found with a heroin needle still in his arm, he had relapsed after over two decades of sobriety. Drug addiction should be treated, not punished. It's a disease, and like any chronic ailment such as diabetes or asthma, it can recur when treatment stops. Mr. Hoffman is terrible, undeni- able proof of that. Each of us battles our own hidden terrors, usually in private, locked in the dark recesses of our thoughts. I don't know whether that's a good thing or not, because once exposed to the sunlight of public awareness, we either go big or go home. Secre- cy, guilt, and shame feed the addic- tion. Fortunately, most of us fight lesser demons than heroin and in a much smaller spotlight. I have seen many beat back their (small-"A") addiction to eating repeatedly, only to have it return. (Lord knows, I've done it myself.) Infused with hubris, we make the blunder of thinking we're "cured" and can "do it on our own." Armed with the false comfort of invincibility, we cease engaging in the behaviors that helped us get healthy in the first place. Old habits never die and we never "win the war." As I stated in my first book, The Shade of a Tree is the Very Best Shade There Is, "Addictions start quietly and without notice. Don't be paranoid about them – but do be vigilant." Awareness is not always easy, but neither is becoming a statistic.

Marcus Girl Scout cookies are here The largest girl-led business in the country is gearing up with young cookie entrepreneurs setting goals, design- ing business plans and preparing for the Girl Scouts of Northern California's annual Cookie Sale. The cookies are only available through Sunday, March 16. Girl Scout's will be making their way door-to-door and be set up outside community businesses offering eight unique varieties of Little Brownie Baker cookies at $5 per box. Find cookies near you at www.iLoveCookies.org. All of the cookie varieties have 0 grams trans fat per serving and have no high fructose corn syrup. Seven vari- eties have no artificial colors and five varieties contain no hydrogenated oils. There's more to Girl Scout Cookies than what's in the box. When a girl sells cookies, she's building a lifetime of skills and confidence. Through the Girl Scout cookie pro- gram girls earn while they learn five key skills: goal set- ting, decision making, money management, interpersonal relationship building, and business ethics. All funds from the sale of the cookies remain here in the local council, minus the baker's fees and the girls selling the cookies determine how their money is spent. After last year's cookie sale, girls were able to travel to Italy, participate in a regional robotics competition, pur- chase their handbooks and sashes, provide memberships fees for underserved girls and host a community event. The possibilities are endless and only limited by imagina- tion and determination. This year, a special "Gift of Caring" program allows customers to purchase boxes and have them donated to military troops overseas or to the local food bank. To find out where you can purchase your favorite Girl Scout cookies or to learn more about Girl Scouting in Tehama County, call the Elsa Martinez at 800-447-4475 x3036 or (530)528-8655 ext 3036 or send an email to emartinez@girlscoutsnorcal.org. Scouter lauded Courtesy photo Pictured are Ron Sargent who presented the Award to Mr. Yates, his wife Carolyn and Jeff Reed, GEC Chairman of the Board. On Saturday evening in Sacramento, the Golden Empire Council of the Boy Scouts of America bestowed the Silver Beaver Award on Gordon Yates of Red Bluff. Yates is a school teacher at Jackson Heights School. He has been involved in scouting his whole life. He has scouted at every opportunity while serving in the Unit- ed States Marine Corp. Yates is responsible for 17 scouting units in the area. They are sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yates has a unique perspective on working with youth. He is a school teacher and retired Marine Major. He tells some interesting stories of using scouting skills while serving in Operation Desert Storm. The Silver Beaver Award is the highest recognition a Boy Scout council can bestow on an adult volunteer leader. The award is presented to those volunteers who have made outstanding contributions to the Scouting program. Nominations are recommended by the local council and approved by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
