MARINECORPSLEAGUE Riflerafflewinnerannounced The rivers and harbors congressional committee will be in Red Bluff this evening for a short time for the purpose of look- ing over the Iron Canyon dam site and for cursory view of the territory to be affected by the irrigation system of which the dam is a part. A delegation will go from Red Bluff by automo- bile to Orland to meet the party and escort them to this city, from which point they will take their private car north. Owing to the limited time which they will have here, and in order that they can have all this time for the Iron Canyon proj- ect, they will be taken by automobile to the coun- try adjacent to the reser- voir site, and from Look- out Point they can have a splendid view of the en- tire country. No formal entertainment has been planned for the party, as they have requested that no time be wasted in this way. However, arrange- ments have been made to serve light refreshments in the country, giving vis- itors an opportunity for any expression of opinion they may feel disposed to make. They will proba- bly be in Red Bluff about 5 o'clock. —June19,1915 100 YEARS AGO...

TAILGATE Food giveaway event set In April 1996, I received a phone call from a TTY telephone operator. She introduced herself and asked if I had ever worked with someone like her. "No," I re- plied. "On the other end of this line is someone hearing- impaired," she explained. "When she wants to call someone, she contacts me and then types what she wants to say into a device. It then appears on a screen in front of me. I'll read it to you. You reply to me. I type it back. It's a slow process but it allows her to 'talk' to you. Ready?" "Yes," I replied hesi- tantly. She then — in a stilted, halting manner — read the words as they traipsed across her screen. Not wait- ing for full sentences to appear, she pronounced each syllable as it materi- alized, like someone read- ing a news crawler on the bottom of the TV screen; with the caveat being that the text was scrolling too slowly. Not only was it a sluggish process, it was ee- rie, and unnerving. "My… name… is… Mary…" read the operator. "I'm… sorry… to… tell… you… that… your… father… has… passed… away…" Some background is in order. Over the 11 years I've been publishing this weekly column, I have written about my wife, mother, children, grand- mother, aunts; even my pets. However, there's a glaring omission: my fa- ther. Obviously, I had one; and yes, I knew him. How- ever, we didn't get along and my rebellion mani- fested itself as me growing up to be his polar opposite. Over the years, I invested a great deal in therapy to re- lease myself from the be- havioral bonds that I felt shackled me to a person I did not want to be. Fathers and sons have had differing viewpoints since Adam and Abel. Un- derstanding that, I tried to maintain a relation- ship; even moving him up here when things got tough for him. However, after he split in the dead of night, requiring me to clean up his financial and actual messes, our relationship bottomed out. We stopped speaking. This odd phone commu- nication was the first time I had any contact with his world since that time, sev- eral years prior. "How did you know my dad?" I asked. "I… was… living… with… Sy… He… was… a… warm… and… wonderful… man…" The conversation — like my relationship with my fa- ther — then deteriorated, becoming Kafkaesque, with Mary blaming me for every ailment my father ever had, physical, emotional, even hypothetical. To say I was upset would be an under- statement, as I had shut the door on that stage of my life a long time ago. Or so I thought. Years passed and the resentment I harbored against my dad — and now Mary, whomever she was — never diminished. Obvi- ously, it didn't make sense, but isn't that the thing about much of anger? As a child, I remember my dad buying an Ed Ames album for my mother. On that LP was a song, "My Cup Runneth Over." I have memories of them danc- ing in the kitchen while he sang it to her. It is one of few fond recollections I have of their relationship. For some reason, years after the call from Mary, I heard that song and re- alized that I feel the same way about my wife today that my father must have felt about my mother over five decades ago. It made me realize that what I feel must be similar to what he felt. Put another way, a mea- sure of my father still lives within me. He wasn't a perfect man; none of us are. I'm sure he'd do things differently if he could. Wouldn't we all? But to dislike someone whose soul flows through your veins is a form of self- hatred. Hence, I released and I forgave. I do not condone much of what he did, and no, I'm still not similar to him. Yet, that song remains one of my favorites, despite its age. When I sing it, I feel I am channeling my father. More importantly, I like that I am. Happy father's day Dad, wherever you are.
