Twounmaskedbandits held up and robbed Dad's Waffle Cafe in Gerber at 3 o'clock Friday morning. While one pointed a re- volver close to the head of H. E. Rhodes, propri- etor of the eating house, the other bandit securely bound him from head to feet, likewise muzzling him. They then threw him into a corner of the place and tried to open the cash register. Failing in this the robbers grabbed Rhodes, untied the rope used in binding him and again at the point of a gun forced him to unlock the cash register. — Aug. 22, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

SHINGLETOWN An nu al c om mu ni ty harvest sale coming Recently, a male "news" commentator on a national "news" network was ref- erencing Michelle Obama's cause about better childhood nu- trition and made a rather insulting re- mark — while sit- ting on a couch sur- rounded by four women no less. One of the female panel- ists berated Mrs. Obama's initiative saying, we don't need "the federal govern- ment projecting these stan- dards upon us." The man augmented her opinion with, "How well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few." After a shocked reaction from the women, he went on, "No, let's be honest...who are we tak- ing nutrition advice from? There's no french fries hap- pening? That's all kale and carrots? I don't buy it." Okay,wheretobegin?Step one;reassemblemyexploded head. I've said before, and will most likely have oppor- tunity to say again, that I don't get the thing about putting down the First Lady's attempt to make our next gener- ation healthier. Sugar is still as aplenty as sand in the desert and shadowy men wearing trench coats do not yet sell chocolate candy in dark al- leys. Can we have a reality check? Our kids are get- ting fatter; it's undeniable. Something has to be done and whether your like her or not, the First Lady has pro- pelled the conversation into the spotlight so that unto its own is already a success. You don't like her ideas? That's fine. Step to the plate and come up with something else, but we need to adjust the vector of this country's future health, and weneedtodoityesterday.All hands on deck. Additionally, if hypoc- risy were water, he'd drown. Not trying to be catty, but his own waistline "was ob- viously not the product of kale and carrots; there had to be a few french fries hap- pening."Andhello?Whowas he looking at? Mrs. Obama is amazingly fit. She might not be perfect but she's a heck of a lot closer to it than most of us when it comes to being in shape. Yet the greater ques- tion is why is it acceptable in this day and age to still judge the value of a wom- an's idea based on how she looks or what she weighs? Why are so many men given a pass when they possess a large belly overhanging their jeans, while if a woman isn't spot-on faultless, people wag their fingers and whisper how she's "let herself go?" Lest you think I'm a self- hating male, I want to point out that not all men think that way and not all women share my analysis. On the same day as the previously referenced comment, a fe- male columnist in the New York Post wrote a piece ti- tled, "Hey Ladies — catcalls are flattering. Deal with it." Her premise is that when men call out or whistle at a woman as she walks by, it's a high compliment and the receiver of such attention should feel appreciated. Granted, I am not — nor have I ever been — a female, but some of my very best friends are. Not every "cat call" is as benign as "Wow, you're an attractive woman who appears to be intelli- gent while possessing high- self esteem. Do you think we could take some time to know each other a little bet- ter on a deeper more inti- mate level?" I believe most women can relay stories of degrading, insulting, even frightening attention being directed at them while going innocently about their busi- ness.Why?Becausetheypos- sessed the necessary "parts" and they were in the "cor- rect" proportions to elicit the vocal reaction from the observer. Maybe I've been "fem- inized," or I'm not macho enough, but I don't get it. Could it be that, instead of trying to put down women for whatever real or per- ceived flaws they possess, we "real men" could emu- late their self-care and focus on improving ourselves?
