ThomasMahomed,amer- chant of Benicia, was in Red Bluff Saturday trying to ap- prehend Jack Robinson and employee of one day in the Mahomed store, on a charge of stealing a large truck. Ma- homed said he and Robinson were together as far as Da- vis on a trip they planned to make to Klamath Falls, Or- egon, with some goods. Ma- homed had business that detained him at Davis and Robinson drove on with the truck with the understand- ing they were to meet at Wil- lows. Mahomed followed in a touring car. On arriving at Willows Mahomed found Robinson had left for the north. Later it was learned that he might be headed for Toledo, Ore- gon, his former home. Stan- ley McNeil, a young tourist from Pocatello, Idaho, met RobinsonnearWeed. McNeil declared Robinson was driv- ing the heavy truck at a high rate of speed. McNeil met Mahomed by chance in Red Bluff and is helping the latter in efforts to locate Robinson. — Aug. 15, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

The first involved a powerful video fea- turing CNN's senior international corre- spondent, Ivan Wat- son, as he reported from a helicopter fly- ing to Mount Shingal in Northern Iraq. Their mission was to drop supplies to those trapped there. Upon touch- ing down, the aircraft was besieged with hordes of peo- ple, so desperate to escape that they were throwing chil- dren on board in what Mr. Watson accurately described as "chaotic" and "crazy." As they flew back over the front line, with the rat- tat-tat of machine guns fir- ing at the enemy below, the civilians on board were cov- ering their ears, many sob- bing uncontrollably, eventu- ally changing to tears of joy as they reached their destination. Roll forward a few hours. My son texted me, "I know you are a big Robin Williams fan. He passed away apparently due to sui- cide. Beyond sad." Again I was surprised as I felt tears well up. I never met Mr. Williams but I, like so many millions, have been impressed for de- cades with his quick wit and wide range of talent. Possibly however my strongest bond to him was that he starred in the movie "The Birdcage." In addition to it being one of my favorites, my last mem- ory with my mother before she passed was the two of us watching that film together and, despite her condition, wewerelaughing.RobinWil- liams's humor is inextricably intertwinedwithmylastmo- mentswithmymother;that's powerful stuff. Mr.Williams'sheartbreak- ing suicide is a reminder that, despite all he had and what looked like a glamor- ous life, he was tortured by demons of depression and addiction. How dreadful to have the world at your beck and call and, because of an imbalance of brain chem- istry, be unable to see light at the end of a non-existent tunnel. Should he have been able to reach out, countless people would have stepped to his aid. We have also been schooled that "depression" is not "being sad," and the ap- propriate response to some- one who suffers from it is not, "look on the bright side." Like cancer or hypertension, it's a disease, and has been tragically illustrated, can be just as deadly. As with the Edwin Robinson poem, Richard Cory, appearances might deceive. So, to address the ques- tion: Why do these seem- ingly unrelated events get juxtaposed in my column? Ineach instance,therebut for the grace of God, could be any one of us. In another time or place, my wife and I could be fleeing tyrants, scrambling to survive. More probablyhowever,atanymo- ment, any one of us can be struck down with a debilitat- ing condition robbing us of thewilltolive. Allourhopes, dreams, and plans wrenched from us neither with notice nor with concern for who we are. We are all alike. If we are not throwing our children into helicop- ters, scrambling for boxes of rations, our health is hold- ing out, there's food in the refrigerator; and a roof over our head, maybe we need to give thanks. I'm not being preachy; for I'm as guilty as the next person of getting cranky over "small stuff." It ticks me off that I can't eat whatever I want. I see red when I'm stuck in traffic. Or — God forbid — it takes 30 seconds to load my Facebook page! Gasp! Ain't it awful? Nevertheless, these truly are first world problems and can be smoothed out with a dose of patience and a salve of priorities. And, yes, in an instant, everything can be shattered; it's true. Although equally true is it hasn't. So in the present, if there's some blue sky in your life, join me and remember to put things in perspective and en- joy what you have right now; for that's the only time we have. (It also wouldn't hurt to hug your loved ones more and take a walk in the sun more often.) If you're doing okay, count your blessings; be grateful for what you do have. Conversely, if your world is being torn asunder, please reach out. Whether you need a friendly hand and a loving hug, or a helicopter, someone is waiting to help you.
