PALMartialArtshasbeen incontinuousoperationsince summer 1998, but this sum- mer the dojo was closed due to the long heat wave. Reg- ular hours are resuming 3-5 p.m. Mondays and Thurs- days. Mondays are for begin- ners, with intermediate and advanced on Thursdays. Three instructors will be involved, to be introduced soon. The founder and pri- mary instructor since the be- ginning is retiring by the end of the year due to health is- sues. Within the first few years two students stood out more than most — Benjamin Ren- teria and Leslie (Slate) Petti- for. They've moved on and have done extremely well, as many others have. But they both had an idea that was never pursued — PALoween. The parents and students at dojo want to hold a safe and anti-bullying PALoween and Harvest Festival celebra- tion. They're working on it and would like more parents and students to help out. The scary date for the free event will be Friday, Oct. 31 begin- ning at 5 p.m. Only 31 students since 1998 have earned their black belt first degree as the pro- gram strives for quality over quantity. Minimum time in trainingis4 yearsuntileli- gible to take the exam, which can last up to an hour with one five-minute break to use the rest room and get water and a quick snack. Those who do pass the test are encouraged to stay on and begin teaching newer studentswhat they just spent years to accomplish. An old sayingis,"Anyonecanweara blackbeltbutcanyouteach?" When a student begins to teach they learn those tech- niques even better. Mondays and Thursdays will most likely remain the same but a Saturday class is being considered by one of thenewinstructors.Thatmay involve Ninjutsu — the art of stealth,evasivenessandstrat- egy. But it will also continue withtheATMstrategy—Ask, Tell, Make a bully leave you alone. At each stage adult in- volvement is encouraged. For more information, visit http://www.tehamaso. org/PAL.htm or call the PAL Board at 529-7950. PAL pro- grams are free and instruc- tors and mentors are pre- screenedbylawenforcement. All students are concerned, healthy and fit while in- volved in PAL, sports and af- ter school programs. POLICEACTIVITIESLEAGUE Anti-bullyingmartialarts program resumes for fall The conviction is grow- ing in official circles that the man whose headless body was found today near the surface of the ground half a mile north of Tehama railroad depot was the victim of a black hand outrage. The body which Coroner Charles E. Fish believes has been there about a week was so badly decomposed that in- vestigation was rendered most difficult. FromTerlock,Nevada As nearly as the au- thorities can determine now the name of the mur- dered man was Kelipi Nieneter. This was found on an identification slip in his shirt pocket which stated he was from Ter- lock, Nevada, had dark hair, brown eyes, weighed 150 pounds, was five feet five inches in height, was 40 years of age and a na- tive of Italy. After removing the head of the victim, the slayers had placed the body on a quilt in a plowed furrow, then cov- ered the body over with loose ground. The hands and feet were protruding through the plowed soil, leading to discovery of the result of the fearful crime. Seen at Tehama recently Minor Carter of Los Molinos, one of the county traffic officers, said this af- ternoon he recalled see- ing a man answering the description of Nieneter about Tehama a few days ago. The stranger seemed to be on friendsly terms with a man suspected of bootlegging in the neigh- borhood. Owing to the condi- tion of the body it was necessary for Coroner Fish to hold an inquest at Oak Hill cemetery at 5 o'clock this afternoon. At a late hour the offi- cers had not obtained a clue to the identity of the murderers. — Aug. 29, 1924 90 YEARS AGO... Headless body found at Tehama identified COURTESYPHOTO Christian Zimmerman and McKenna Groves. I am a "one-unit" eater, consuming one of whatever I eat. Should that "one unit" be an appropri- ate size, such as one apple or one individ- ually wrapped treat, I will be content. Con- versely, should the "one unit" be abun- dantly excessive; i.e. a "family size" bag of tortilla chips or a wheelbarrow-di- mensioned bucket of pea- nut butter, alas, when will falters, I will still consume one (rather enlarged) unit and waddle from the ta- ble. Therefore, I surround myself with pre-measured small portions. I am not unique. As em- pirical evidence, I do not notice Olestra products on store shelves anymore. Why? Because, IMHO, their marketing department missed the boat. OK, to be honest, I cannot deny that some of the less pleasant repercus- sions of consuming Olestra might have come to play also. (Should you not re- member, Olestra is a substi- tute for fat that doesn't dis- solve completely upon con- sumption, causing one to absorb fewer calories with- out sacrificing taste. Yet, these nutrients must go "somewhere," requiring one to be, hmmm, how shall we delicately put this…ex- tremely aware of the near- est restroom. Capish?) So, regarding marketing: when these products hit the stores, I sought snack-size units. However, only find- ing them in full size bags, I understood my limits. "If one unit is one ounce, I'll be content. Yet, if it's 14 ounces, I might — in a mo- ment of weakness — still eat one very large unit." Be- cause I prefer avoiding un- expected, urgent, immedi- ate dashes to the bathroom — and since snack-size servings were hard to come by — I bought noth- ing. Other diet-conscious consumers apparently ex- ercised the same option. Voila, poor market pene- tration! Marketers, savvy as they are, adjusted. Currently, grocery shelves are now brimming with 100-calorie snack packs hawking ev- erything from jellybeans to cream-filled cookies. Such diminutive, dainty, diet- ing delicacies are aiding us "one-unit" folk to approach a level of intake normalcy one pouch at a time. It will not happen overnight, yet progress marches on. With such advancements come naysayers. In a re- cent tirade, an (obviously skinny) writer said snacks are not healthy meal sub- stitutes and should be avoided, urging dieters to opt always for healthy alter- natives. Ever ready to lend a hand, she provided sev- eral healthy alternatives. Knock-knock. Any- one home? They're labeled 100-calorie "snack packs," not 100-calorie "meals." Re- peat after me, "snacks." I know; 'tis better to eat healthy; but when rub- bing my forefinger around the inside of a 100-calorie pouch of cheese puffs to get every last morsel, I'm not craving celery sticks. If not a regular occurrence (there lies the key), it's OK. Really. Thanks for the concern; now go eat some lettuce. We must understand hu- man nature. If I were the sort who was willing to vig- ilantly count out 20 baby carrots with one table- spoon of onion dip, I would not have a weight problem to begin with! We are here because we took easier, quicker, tastier approaches to what we eat. Change oc- curs not by sharp-angle; but via a curve. I understand that I do not always opt for the healthiest path and, yet, I continue to improve — slowly. "Progress, not per- fection" remains my man- tra and 100 calories is bet- ter than a thousand.

Police logs REDDING Dr. Joe Wyse, superintendent and president of Shasta College, and Dr. Kevin O'Rorke, vice president of Student Services, contributed to the fes- tive atmosphere of stu- dent Welcome Day by participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge in support of dona- tions to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. Commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, theIceBucketChallenge phenomenon support- ing this cause has run rampant across the U.S. "Thischallengewasa unique way to bring at- tentiontoagreatcause," said Wyse. "The latest numbers show that do- nations to the ALS As- sociationfromthiscam- paign are nearing $100 million." This year's Welcome Day focused on cele- brating the 50th an- niversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 pro- hibiting racial discrim- ination in employment and education, and out- lawing segregation in public facilities. Thanks to the sup- portandparticipationof more than 70 local ven- dors, live entertainment and free food and give- aways,WelcomeDaywas a tremendous success. "This event, held at the start of every school year, is a great way for students to learn about vendorsandservicepro- viders in our local com- munity, and become familiar with Shasta College staff and the services we provide," Wyse said. "We believe creatingthisconnection with our students helps directly in their future success." SHASTA COLLEGE An i cy w el co me The upcoming holiday weekend is one of the year's busiest times at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks and lakes, and usually sees an increase in accidents on the water. To help keep vis- itors safe, Corps park rang- ers offer the following water safety tips. Before heading out to the water for Labor Day, make sure you have a life jacket for everyone in your group. Nine out of 10 people who drowned at a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recre- ation park were not wear- ing a life jacket. Check that the life jackets are U.S. Coast Guard approved, the right size and are appropriate for whatyouhaveplanned.Then make sure everyone wears it. The best life jacket ever cre- ated is worthless sitting in the back of your truck. If the heat gets too in- tense and you want to take a dip, keep these swimming tips in mind: • Swim to your abilities. The other side of the lake is much farther than it looks, so don't even try it. • Avoid mixing alcohol and water sports. Not only does drinking affect your motor skills and judgment, it also dehydrates you which could lead to cramping at the worst possible time. • Keep an eye on swim- ming children. A child can drown in 20 seconds — less than the time it takes to send a text or post a pic- ture. Pay attention to signs your little ones are too cold. Indicators like blue lips and severe shivering mean a drop in their core temper- atures, which could lead to hypothermia even in the summer months. Be aware of exposed ob- jects in the water. Water levels at our lakes are ex- tremely low and expose hazards that typically re- main deep down and out of the way. Sandbars, tree stumps and rock forma- tions can cause serious damage to you and your equipment. "There are rules of the road in boating just like driving a car," said Jon- athan Friedman, Sac- ramento District senior ranger. "One rule is to only operate at the speed that's safe for the lake you are en- joying." The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the nation's largest federal provider of outdoor water-based recre- ation, managing more than 420 lake and river parks in 43 states and hosting more than 370 million visits per year.
