If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. Feeling the pain I have staggered into a topsy- turvy world where pain is consid- ered a goal. All is peculiar to me this side of the looking glass, for I have gone through to the dominion of "The Workout." Thinking unclearly in the midst of a sugar-rattled brain freeze, I committed recently to enlisting a personal trainer to guide me in an fitness regiment. For session one, she requested I "come to the park so I can see how you walk." I thought, "Wow! This will be easy!" However, insecure by nature, I rehearsed; walking for- ward and backwards; to and fro, hither and yon. I sauntered, moseyed, even ambled; perform- ing perfectly all permutations. With confidence high, I arrived at the playground; where I discov- ered here there be implements of torture. Appearing to the untrained eye as climbing structures for chil- dren, trainers manipulate them to inflict hurting upon the soft under- belly of unfit middle-aged men. After observing my walk, she asked me to "step up" on the stairs at the base of the jungle gym. I did so (quite well I might add). "Step back down," she said. I did. "Again." I repeated. "Again." Going up and down and expend- ing more than a moderate amount of energy is a frustrating, seeming- ly aimless process; yet, trusting her tutelage, I obliged. "Good, do it twenty times." My breathing increased and dull pain enveloped my legs. However, trying to maintain a modicum of manliness, I refused to let her see weakness. Puffing and huffing my way through the repetitions, counting them down in my head, I pressed on until, upon reaching my target, I planted with great relief both feet firmly on the grass. "Five more," she said. I argued, "You said ‘twenty’." "I changed my mind. Do five more." Upon completion, she inquired, "How do you feel?" Scott Q. Marcus "I'm fine," I gasped, struggling not to show that I had to expel the syllables between heavy breaths, trying not to let on that a two-word reply was testing my endurance. "Great! Let’s do more." From then on, I lunged, planked, walked, twisted, and hung, concluding with an excruci- ating method of pain application whereby one supports himself backwards on the edge of a bench while "sitting" with derriere sus- pended over thin air, forcing the triceps to hold up the entire weight of the upper half of his body. Not painful enough, he then repeatedly lifts and lowers himself, similar to backward push-ups. I believe these are "reverse planks" but the severe, repetitive, throbbing in my arms was exceedingly distracting, caus- ing me to use all my mental resources to hold at bay the fear I would never use my arms again. Seeing my expres- sion, she said. "Pain means you're building muscle." I wanted to rub it away but could not raise my hands. Realizing that should I be required at this moment to lift my limbs for self-defense, I would be a goner, I whimpered. I would have cried, but how would I wipe my eyes? "In fitness circles, this kind of pain is inspiring," she added. "Odd," I thought. In non-fitness circles where I reside, looking forward to sitting on a couch with a bag of chips is inspir- ing; and I don’t ache the next morning.

Military — Osenton Navy Seaman Recruit Sean M. Osenton, a 2006 graduate of Red Bluff High School, in Red Bluff, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Osenton completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is Battle Stations. This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. Battle Stations is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Com- mitment. Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor. 9th Annual FIBER ON THE FOOT Natural Fiber Producer’s Liverstock Show & Fiber Festival May 7, 9 to 5 Fairgrounds, RB
