The burglar whose op- erations in the Storm hardware store Thursday night were suddenly in- terrupted, left a trail of blood that may yet lead to his arrest. He proba- bly received serious cuts about the head or body as a result of jumping through heavy plate glass in the front door of the store, ragged edges of the glass being left at the top of the window. Evidently the crook made a desper- ate lunge into the glass to break it and escape, when surprised by the approach of Night Policeman T. R. Ward. — Dec. 12, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

POLICE LOGS Now that Northern Cal- ifornia has entered the winter rainy, high wind and flooding season, the Red Bluff Area of Califor- nia Highway Patrol would like to remind the motor- ing public of some driving safety tips. First, make sure you inspect your vehicle for proper tire tread depth and air pressure. Check to assure the windshield wipers work properly and your windshield defogger is used before traveling on the roadways. Have a safety kit stored in your vehicle containing water, a blanket, snacks, a radio, flares, and a cell phone charger, especially when traveling. When driving in the rain, state law requires that if your windshield wipers are on continu- ously, your headlights must be on. Stay alert for hydroplaning and ap- ply brakes more slowly; they may pull. Leave ex- tra distance between your car and the next motor- ist and reduce your speed. Avoid driving through flooded areas and do not drive around road clo- sures signs. If you have to drive though areas with snow, carry chains, even if you have 4-wheel drive. If you have to chain up, park off the roadway out of the path of snow removal equipment and install chains on vehicle drive tires. Observe speed lim- its in chain control areas. Speed limits in chain con- trol areas are either 25, 30, 35 or 40 mph, based on conditions. Watch for paddle-shaped markers- they show the road's edge, and if you break down, stay with your vehicle. For high profile com- mercial vehicles, travel trailers and other vehicles towing considered vehi- cles in combination, the maximum speed limit is 55 mph, and are required to travel in the right lane. Drivers of these types of vehicles should be aware of high wind warnings by checking with local weather forecasts, and avoiding those areas un- til safe to continue trav- eling. Motorists can tune to 1610 AM on their radio or call 1-800-427-ROAD (7623) for current weather and roadway conditions. CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Driving tips for inclement weather In a previous lifetime, when I was in radio, there was an expression: "You can tell how successful a disc-jockey is by the size of the trailer at- tached to his car." This was a reference to how often on- air person- alities had to pack up and move, usually seeking larger markets or better opportu- nities. Such is the saga as to how Humboldt County became my home. Much like Harry Chapin's song, "W-O-L-D," I bounced around the western U.S., ending up as morning per- sonality and music director at a classic rock station in Southern California, where I also published an indus- try newsletter. A newly hired consultant for a pair of ra- dio stations among the red- woods followed my peri- odical and brought me up here. Initially, my strategy was to remain "a couple of years" and take family and trailer to San Francisco. If 31 years constitutes "a couple of years," I might still be on track. Elsewise, it looks like I'm here for the duration. After leaving radio with a background in promotion, I earned my take as a market- ing consultant (which I still do at times). Some of my clients were political cam- paigns. Following so far? (There will be a test.) Anyhoo, a dozen years ago, I was one cog in the wheel of a team that helped manage the successful cam- paign of a local official, who was since been re-elected twice, and is now retiring. We don't see each other very much these days. It's not that there's any animos- ity, quite the contrary; he's always very warm when we bump into each other. It's just, you know how life is, right? He's doing his thing and I do mine. However, re- cently his "team" personally reached out to me, extend- ing a special invitation to his retirement soiree, basically saying, "You were there at the beginning. It would be great if you showed up." Touched by the genu- ine warmth in the invite, I skipped the last half of Zumba (no small sacrifice I assure you) and attended the party. I had not seen most of those in attendance for the better part of a de- cade; yet, you wouldn't have known it by my reception. I was greeted by double- clasped handshakes and all encompassing hugs of which a bear would be proud. Al- though initially planning to stay a few minutes and get on with my night, I was sur- rounded by so many good wishes and regaled with sto- ries of the past dozen years that I altered my plans. Al- though neither food nor drink passed my lips, I left the gathering with more of a sense of satisfaction and fullness than any meal could provide. Therein lies the moral of the story. Especially this time of year, we are surrounded — nay, buried — in all manner of sugary indulgences. It of- ten doesn't feel like "holi- days" if I don't get to have my favorites. A few here and there would not be a problem — if I kept myself in check. Alas, one leads to two, which becomes six, which turns out to be ten. Before one can say, "Ho, Ho, Ho," any plans to stay in con- trol are more of a memory than is my first Christmas. Yet, if we slow down for a moment, we realize that what really, really matters — not only this time of year but for the remainder of the calendar — is the quality of the relationships which sur- round us. A "catching up" conversation with a rarely seen friend or an "I've-re- ally-missed-you" hug from a former co-worker whom you bumped into on the street are actually what provide the true sweetness to our existence. Time spent with those we care about — past and present — lends itself to a sense of fullness that no amount of chocolate fudge will ever satisfy. May your holidays be full.
