A comparatively slight eruption of Lassen Peak could be seen in Red Bluff early this morning. B. L. Wells said shortly before 6 o'clock he saw a little black cloud of smoke aris- ing from the crater, curl- ing skyward. How long before that time it had been erupting could only be conjectured from this distance. Fifteen minutes later, Wells added, the smoke ceased to rise and the small eruption was over for the time being. — Oct. 3, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT Consider the Vote-By-Mail option for Nov. 4 election SUBMITTED BY SUZY NOBLE TuckerNoble-Peery,age2,veryexcitedtoseethemon- ster trucks this weekend.

READER PHOTO Excited for monster trucks I entered the planet at nine pounds 14 ounces. Assuming that to be nor- mal, 30 years later, as a newly minted fa- ther, I pan- icked when the doctor informed me that my firstborn weighed six pounds six ounces. Looking me in the eye, attempting to calm my jit- ters, he replied, "Six-six is normal. I promise he's fine." "But I weighed ten pounds when I was born," I protested. "I can't help it if you were cruel to your mother," he replied. Moral of the story: I was born big, and from that moment, packed on the pounds, tipping the scales at ten pounds for every year. To explain, I weighed 50 pounds at age five, 90 pounds at age nine, and 130 pounds when I was a teen. From there, I ac- celerated, reaching 230 upon entering high school — poor timing to say the least. Of the 1,107 students in my class, I was the sec- ond fattest. Further put- ting this in perspective, that was in the day when childhood obesity was an oddity, rather than unfor- tunately as it can be today, quite common. Kids are brutal, so what were supposed to be some of my best years were any- thing but. Girls ignored me; guys badgered and bullied me. Physical education was the lowest of the low. With- out exception, I was the last one chosen for team sports, disgust unhidden in the expression of the luck- less team captain forced to have me on his roster. Yet all that paled to the torture of taking group showers af- ter P.E. Walking past the jocks in my all together, at- tempting to wither from them while covering my ex- posed self was the lowest level of Hell. Teased and humiliated, I was shoved into lockers naked while pushed from jock to jock down the narrow aisles un- til finally, I could put my clothes on and run from the gym, seeking respite from the merciless cruelty for 24 hours; knowing it would resume the next day. Outside of school was no break. My clothes came from the "husky" sec- tion, a degrading experi- ence unto its own. Doctors hounded me, family mem- bers chided me and my parents put me on diet af- ter diet, all to no avail. So, I obsessively became a "serial dieter." In lay- man's terms, that means that I have been on and off diets and programs be- yond count. I jokingly tell people that I've lost 2,357 pounds — if you add up all the weight I've lost and gained since childhood. Actually, it's probably not too far from the truth. Although I briefly achieved my correct weight a few times, I al- ways put it back on. On one occasion, someone in a meeting displayed her "before" picture, proudly stating she had lost 100 pounds and kept it off ten years. I thought to myself, "I can never do that. Why bother to try?" I'm thrilled to admit I was wrong. Last Saturday was twenty years since I achieved my correct weight. I'm smarter than some and not as smart as oth- ers, so it's not a sign of intelligence that got me here. Also, I am not "fixed;" I still slip up and stumble. So what's the secret? Simply put: Our "inner jerk" is not helping us. Af- ter all, if guilt and shame were motivational, we'd all be skinny. It doesn't work. Instead of bullying our- selves into submission, we must look at flubs in the same fashion a toddler views falling down while learning to walk. "Oops, that didn't work. Let's try again." Who we were does not dictate who we can be. Also, it matters not what we've tried before — or for that matter, what we have not. All that is of conse- quence is the right now, the immediate. After all, that's really all we have. Make it count more times than not and everything else eventually does fall into place.
