Adult and teen volun- teers are planning activi- ties for Tehama County 4-H Youth Camp, scheduled for Saturday, July 11 through Wednesday, July 15 at Camp Tehama in Mill Creek. Camp Director Keith Skelton is excited about his first year at camp as the di- rector. Skelton is new to the director position but not new to 4-H, being a 4-H member as a youth and involved with 4-H Youth Camp as a teen. Skelton encourages all youth to get involved in the camp program as it teaches positive life skills and cre- ates lifelong memories. Camp activities include campfire songs and skits, archery, fishing, creek play, team games and crafts. All youth, ages 9 as of July 11 through ages 13 as of July 15, are invited to attend as campers. Bring a friend or meet a new face. Being a 4-H member is not required. The cost for the five-day camp is $123 for youth and $85 for 4-H members. Ap- plications must be turned in by 5 p.m. June 18 to the Tehama County 4-H Office at 1754 Walnut St. in Red Bluff. Applications will be accepted based upon avail- ability. Fees include food, lodg- ing, accident insurance and all activities. Trans- portation must be individ- ually arranged.

Recently, I had a revela- tion: I am no longer in my twenties. There were obvious signs prior to this new dawning. For example, of late, in or- der to read small print, I must either remove my glasses or post the document across the room. Conversely, I must also use the "zoom" feature on my computer monitor to increase font size for virtu- ally everything on screen. I also must admit a tinge of guilt in continuing to list "brown" as my hair color on driver's license applica- tions. Rather, "gray with a small bit of brown remain- ing" is more appropriate. Since there is not enough space to use this accurate description, I rationalize "brown" as being as honest as possible. Oh yes, one other in- dicator that I am no lon- ger in my twenties is that I am the biological father of a 31-year-old. Even the most forward thinking and mature twenty-something would be hard pressed to have 31-year-old offspring. Alas, despite this ever- growing chorus of facts, the dawning of my age did not fully appear un- til I weighed myself last week. I have been trying to knock off another six pounds and have stalled for some time. OK, to be honest "some time" is ap- proximately five years. As I stood on the scale, glaring at the wretched red LED flashing between my toes in its hateful block num- bers, a river of rushing thoughts coursed through me. In that cacophonous cascade of cognizance, one thought rose above all oth- ers: "I'm as diligent as I was 30 years ago but my weight won't budge. Back then; I lost three pounds a week! It's not fair!" As I stomped from the scale (heading directly for the kitchen), a thunder- bolt realization crashed through me: "It is not 30 years ago." No longer a young man of twenty- something, I am now post-middle-aged. The rules for twenty-some- things do not apply. Instead of trying to un- derstand the ins and outs of a healthy weight and diet for a 60-year-old, I waste energy lamenting the fact that it is not as easy as it was "back then." How much precious time have I thrown away com- plaining about what no longer is rather than ac- cepting the realities of what actually can be? "I've never had to work so hard to lose weight." "I've always eaten this way." "I didn't have to work out when I was younger." The thoughts and ideas we hold from earlier days were accurate and appro- priate — in earlier days. But time moves forever backward into history, leaving us hostage to it, or empowered by the oppor- tunities of the present. This is neither a trea- tise against getting older nor a complaint about the travails of aging. Mostly — as long as my health holds out — I welcome the wis- dom and peace of being an older man. But instead of grousing that I cannot lose weight like a 25-year old, it makes more sense to learn the rules for a 60-year-old — at least until I'm 61.

Police Logs "There are a bunch of things to do in your town," remarked a visitor to a News reporter yesterday. "The river spills over a little ev- ery year and reminds you that you need a bridge. Ev- ery time you the courthouse square — well — I do not need to say anything further about that. The grammar schools are crowded. The high school is demanding new, larger and better quar- ters. It has been demanding this for two or three years bun now its demands have reached a climax and the voters are waiting to express themselves. "All these things must be done within a very few years. "The most imperative need of the community, however, is a new high school that will fill the bill for ten years to come; that will provide for the needs of tomorrow." — June 12, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
