POLICELOGS Staff reports This story comes from Longville, the summer camp of the Boy Scouts of this district: The boob patrol does the menial work about the camp. They do the drudg- ery for the other patrols. It's a form of punishment for being boobs. In the line of duty they have to collect the material and arrange the evening campfire. Last Sunday the "boobs" put in the usual time and effort building the camp fire for the evening. As evidence that they are "boobs" they neglected to investigate the ashes of the evening be- fore to determine if there were any live coals lurking therein. The material for the evening's bonfire was all beautifully placed, and the "boobs" congratulated themselves as they turned to other campfire duties. But they had reckoned without the live coals. In the middle of the day the bonfire got under headway and there was no saving it. The "boobs" had to build another fire. But worst of all they were mercilessly kid- ded by the other boys dur- ing the balance of the day. — July 25, 1924 90 YEARS AGO... Boob Patrol proves title to being boobs Tehama County Public Works has announced two more scheduled road clo- sures.

Many want to share their thoughts or feelings about what I have written. Most times it's by email, once in awhile by telephone, and periodically in person. Some folks seem drawn to anyone in the media as moths go to light. This is flattering but can be, at times, well, just plain weird. I've been approached about government meat conspir- acies, high fructose corn syrup alternative energy systems, even a faster- than-light engine (no, I don't know how it was tied to my column). If cornered publicly with such theo- ries, I momentarily feign attention, smile awkwardly, mumble an apologetic ex- cuse about "a guy I'm sup- posed to meet," and care- fully; very, very slowly; back away. There are those who offer to me the secret "they" don't want "us" to know about weight loss — for a price of course. I am cynical about "secrets they don't want us know." For one, who are "they?" Secondly, why would they deem you to be the ultimate messenger of such vital intelligence? Moreover, are you putting us in harm's way by pass- ing it along? I would feel miserable knowing that — although I now lose weight quicker — it was at the cost of your life. Actually, I'd feel so darn guilty; I'd probably eat too much, gain back my weight and make your mag- nanimous (albeit merce- nary) gesture to have been in vain. What affects me most are those seeking counsel. I'm not a therapist; heck, I'm not even sure I could be "Dear Abby." But if my words touch someone so deeply that they seek me out for guidance, I'll do my best. Some conventional wis- dom portrays my gender as uncaring, stoic, non- feeling, self-absorbed louts more concerned with cold beer and hot chicks than a supportive relationship, a strong family, and an en- gaged life. If you're still hold- ing that stereotype — some unsolicited advice: let it go. If your man is truly like that, maybe you ought to let him go. Just sayin'… A caring husband, ask- ing for advice on how he can help his wife, is a com- mon focus of emails I re- ceive. They usually go some- thing like: "I love my wife no matter how much she weighs. I think she's beau- tiful. But I want her to be happy and healthy. I'm con- cerned because I think her weight has gotten to a point that it's harming her health. What can I do to make sure she stays on her diet?" If you're in that place, here's my best, most sin- cere advice. Understand that no one can make anyone do any- thing, at least not in a lov- ing supportive relationship. All any of us can do is put out there how we feel, ex- press what we desire, and then hope they will re- spond. People who need to lose weight know it. Many times, they feel embarrassed be- cause they've promised to do so so many times that the perceived risk of hu- miliation yet again is more painful than what they weigh. Often, they simply don't believe they can do it "one more time." Some- times, they're even afraid that if they do, they'll lose their relationships. Your (albeit well-inten- tioned) push will move her in one direction: away from you. So, what to do? Be hon- est. Tell her how you feel. Tell her you're concerned. Remind her you love her and you'd like her to be healthy; and if she wants help, you're there. Then love her for who she is, let go as much as you can, and be there if and when she asks for help.

SCOTT MARCUS Advicetohusbands and significant others KATHY WILLENS - ASSOCIATED PRESS Carolyn Allen, le , a 69-year-old widow who has suffered two strokes, is shown with roommate Marcia Rosenfeld, who owns the apartment in Brooklyn, New York, where Allen lives. The two women are roommates thanks to a home-sharing program run by the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens, a nonprofit agency. The Associated Press NEW YORK It's not ex- actly "The Golden Girls," but for Marcia Rosenfeld, it'll do. Rosenfeld is among thousands of aging Ameri- cans taking part in home- sharing programs around the country that allow se- niors to stay in their homes and save money while get- ting some much-needed companionship. "It's a wonderful ar- rangement," said the white-haired Rosenfeld, who when asked her age will only say she's a senior citizen. "The way the rents are these days, I couldn't stay here without it." She shares her two-bed- room, $1,000-a-month Brooklyn apartment with Carolyn Allen, a 69-year- old widow who has suf- fered two strokes and no longer wants to live alone. Agencies that put such seniors together say the need appears to be grow- ing as baby boomers age and struggle to deal with foreclosures, property taxes and rising rents. The typical situation in- volves an elderly woman, widowed or divorced, who has a house or an apart- ment with extra room and needs help with the up- keep. "Our seniors want to re- main part of the commu- nity they were raised in, where they worked and went to church," said Jackie Grossman, direc- tor of the home-sharing program at Open Commu- nities in the Chicago sub- urbs. "They don't want to be just with other seniors. Maybe they love their gar- den, their tool shed, and they would have to give that up if they move into senior housing." At the New York Foun- dation for Senior Citizens, where applicants have tri- pled since 2008, the aver- age boarder pays about $700 a month. The same average holds at the HIP Housing pro- gram in San Mateo, Cali- fornia, but it is about $500 at the St. Ambrose Hous- ing Aid Center in Balti- more. Agencies handle the background checks and other screening and con- sider various lifestyle cri- teria — smoking, pets, dis- posable income — in mak- ing matches. When a match is made, the new roommates sign an agreement covering chores, overnight visitors, telephone use, etc. Not all agencies limit ap- plicants to seniors. In the New York program, only one of the two people has to be 60 or older. The agencies' services mean people who want a roommate don't have to post notices in neighbor- hood weeklies or online and worry about who will respond. "Craigslist can be very scary, especially for women," said Connie Skillingstad, president of Golden Girl Homes Inc. in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, which refers women to housing resources includ- ing home-sharing. "They'd rather go through a respectable or- ganization." In the past, program di- rectors say, many of the people offering space were willing to take household help — grocery shopping, housecleaning, repair work — in lieu or some or all of the rent. Recently, though, more people have insisted on dollars rather than ser- vices. "In the last five years, we've really seen more peo- ple looking for financial aid rather than barter," said Kirby Dunn, executive di- rector of Homeshare Ver- mont in Burlington. Companionship is an important side benefit. "Independence is great but isolation as we age is a growing concern, so companionship can be al- most life-altering," Dunn said. "People are telling us they're happier, sleeping better, eating better. ... If I could sell you a drug that did that, you'd pay a lot of money." Grossman said many long-lasting friendships develop, "and for others there's just mutual respect and that's fine, too." Rosenfeld and Allen, who have been roommates for three years, both said they feel more like business associates than longtime friends like TV's "Golden Girls," but they gabbed like sisters and giggled about the apparent highlight of their time together: "the bathtub incident." Allen, who gets around with the help of a walker, had slipped in the bathtub and gotten stuck, with one leg wedged awkwardly be- hind her. She tried and tried but couldn't get up. "If I was living alone I might have been there for days," she said. But Rosen- feld was home, and al- though she's too petite to extract Allen from the tub, she was able to call 911 — and provide a towel for Al- len to cover herself when rescuers arrived. "Thank God Marcia was there," Allen said. Seniors share homes for cost savings, help, companionship LIVING PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.
