MissAllisonCarden,pa- role officer with the Pres- ton school, came up from Marysville yesterday to take charge of Frank John- son, the young man caught a week ago trying to get away with the automobile of Strong Brothers. Johnson is described by Miss Carden as having the mind of a child and of be- ing perfectly harmless. He knows nothing about automobiles and just what he intended do- ing with the one he was trying to push up the street is a mystery. —June23,1915 100YEARSAGO... Young Johnson is described as a harmless youth Years ago, many years ago, I suffered from the comparison syndrome so badly that I spent a lot of my time feeling sorry for my- self and se- cretly won- dering why other peo- ple seemed to be moving forward in life while I was either sit- ting still or perhaps going backward. I spent my time won- dering why I couldn't catch a break and com- paring my behind the scenes life to everyone else's outward appear- ances. In doing so, I was stuck like a hamster on a wheel that squeaked "it's not fair" with every rota- tion. My constant focus was on what I didn't have and what I perceived oth- ers had that I wanted or thought I deserved. Everything changed when I took personal re- sponsibility to find out why I wasn't achieving what I wanted, when I wanted and how I wanted. Sometimes the answer wasn't all that pretty and sometimes the answer was as plain as the nose on my face. All told, the answers were a bunch of ingredi- ents that made a secret sauce for change, growth and achievement. Over the next weeks, I will share one topic at a time that I tackled to make the lasting changes I needed to manage this thing called life in a bet- ter way. Spoiler alert: life doesn't hand me anything any differently than it ever did, I just look at it in a different way and respond to it with better skill sets. When I think back to the very first changes I made it involved my weight and a surgery. To make a long story short, I had an acci- dent where my weight con- tributed to the significance of the damage. I blew out my knee skiing. Dur- ing my recovery period I read a book that set off the self-awareness alarm sys- tem in my head and I lost 100lbs in 9 months. While I didn't stay size 9 forever, I have maintained most of the weight loss for fifteen years. The weight loss was a by-product of getting some serious stuff worked out in my head — stuff that had nothing to do with what I was eating and everything to do with needing control in my life. Food was some- thing I could control. Food was recreation, reward, comfort, a form of love and something I didn't have to feel guilty about buying during the broke years of young parenthood. In addition to changing what I ate, I started to ex- ercise. For me, it was walk- ing, which morphed into running. This allowed me to clear my head and take personal time away from the family, something I rarely did in the name of being a good mom. These two steps were the pivots I needed to make in the game of life that started me on the path of self-awareness and making lasting change. Do they resonate with you? Are there changes you can make in these areas? Stick with me and let's see what nerves I can touch over the next few weeks.

POLICE LOGS Once again the Tehama County community has come forward to support lo- cal high school graduates, including five foster youth who received their high school diplomas this month. The students went through the Indepen- dent Living Program, run through Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, according to program co- ordinator is Katie Fintel. The program is contracted through Tehama County Department of Social Ser- vices and focuses on assist- ing foster youth to become self sufficient, while work- ing on personal goals such as education, employment, housing and life skills. Studio 530 Photography and Custom Framing do- nated a package of senior photos to the youth. The business has done this for the past 10 years. Local community mem- bers and social services as- sisted the youth with grad- uation gifts, such as kitchen ware, gift cards and school supplies. Fintel treated the youth to a lunch to celebrate their achievement. For a lot of foster youth, they are the first in their families to graduate high school. INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM Community helps high school foster youth grads COURTESY PHOTO A number of items were donated by area businesses, agencies and individuals to give to foster youth who graduated high school this month. Jehovah's Witnesses be- gan holding their annual conventions at the Sacra- mento Convention Center in English, Spanish, Pun- jabi and Hmong. They ex- tend an open invitation for all to attend. The theme of this year's program is "Imi- tate Jesus!" "Jesus, the founder of Christianity, is widely con- sidered as one of the most influential and significant men who ever lived," said Mike Vaughan, a conven- tion spokesman. "As Chris- tians, a core belief of Jeho- vah's Witnesses is that Je- sus lived his life as a model for us to follow." A highlight of the pro- gram will be the keynote address on Friday morn- ing, titled "Concealed in Him Are All the Treasures of Wisdom." Starting Thursday, and continuing for 3 weeks, the Red Bluff congregations and others in the state will help distribute personal printed invitations in their respective local cities in Northern California and Northern Nevada to attend the convention. There is no admission fee. Conventions of Jeho- vah's Witnesses are sup- ported entirely by volun- tary donations. The first of nine three- day events to be held in Sac- ramento began Friday, May 22. An estimated combined attendance of 50,000 will come to the Sacramento Convention Center for the Bible-based programs. Je- hovah's Witnesses in the United States are organiz- ing 453 conventions—in 29 languages—in 124 cities.
