ANNIVERSARY Ma x an d Ma ry J on es c el eb ra te 5 0 ye ar s COURTESYPHOTOS Max and Mary Jones in 1965. Max and Mary Jones on June 7. The Annual Enrollment Period for Part D drug plans and Part C Medicare Advan- tage plans began Oct. 15 and will end Dec. 7. Passages Health Insur- ance Counseling & Advo- cacy Program is providing several community work- shops titled What's New in Medicare for 2016 to help Medicarebeneficiariesmake the best choice possible for theirhealthcareneedsinthe coming year. These workshops will ex- plain changes in drug plans, which plans will be remain- ing in the area, which plans will be leaving and will also be available to answer ques- tionsaboutMedicareAdvan- tage plans. Ronda Kramer, HICAP program director, wants Medicare beneficiaries to know that the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period should not be confused with the Covered California Insurance Exchange enroll- ment period. She warns ben- eficiaries to be on the alert for insurance agents us- ing aggressive tactics to sell health care coverage that is meant for those seeking cov- erage through the Insurance Exchange. Misinforming beneficia- ries would be considered fraud. Fraudsters are very active this time of year. Se- niors and others on Medi- care who participate in the exchange in error may ex- perience complications with their coverage and poten- tial premium penalties with Medicare in the future. Workshops in Butte County are scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 30 and 1-4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2 at the Enloe Confer- enceCenter,5th&Esplanade in Chico.

SENIORS Passages provides medicare workshops At the bottom of the television screen, dur- ing virtually every news- cast, there is now a crawl- ing parade of headlines in- forming us of everything from the lat- est world di- sasters to which ce- lebrity is hooking up with whom. Recently, one story caught my eye: "Weight loss surgery connected to increased risk of suicide." One might assume this to be counterintuitive, rea- soning that if someone's lifestyle was so unhealthy that he underwent suc- cessful major surgery to change it, he would be so relieved with the outcome, that the resulting emotions would be happiness; possi- bly even jubilation. Yet dig deeper. First, the details; accord- ing to a study, troubled in- dividuals were about 50 percent more likely to try to take their own lives af- ter they lost a lot of weight with surgery. "While we are clear and confident about the medi- cal benefits of weight loss, especially through weight- loss surgery, I think we're not as attentive to the po- tential psychological ben- efits or harms of it," said Dr. Amir Ghaferi, director of bariatric surgery at the Ann Arbor Veterans Ad- ministration Healthcare System in Michigan. Some of the correla- tion might be obvious. Af- ter all, morbidly obese peo- ple have a higher likeli- hood to suffer from mental health problems and have a much-higher-than-normal suicide risk than the aver- age population. ("Morbid obesity," affecting about six percent of our popula- tion, is defined as having a body mass index [BMI] 40 or higher. As illustration, a 5' 4" woman's healthy weight is considered some- where between 120 and 150 pounds. That same woman, morbidly obese, would weigh around 235.) Theories abound as to what is causing this tragic bump, including changes in how the body metabo- lizes alcohol metabolism after surgery; other sub- stance misuse instead of food; as well as the in- creased stress of adjusting to a new body, image, and lifestyle; and more. Ghaferi pointed out that not only does one's body change, but also rapid weight loss can shake up important re- lationships. That's what I thought when I first saw the news crawlers. Think about it, an obese couple spends a great deal of time to- gether eating. I don't say this is a judgmental fash- ion, merely a reflection of reality. If you're very heavy, you're taking in more calo- ries than you're spending; pure and simple. There- fore, you're either consum- ing more or eating more caloric foods (or both). If a couple is obese, it's one method in which they can spend time together. Af- ter all, we tend to hang out with like-minded people. Now consider the sce- nario where one partner rapidly loses weight. He or she is no longer willing (or able) to eat as before and will seek out other, healthier activities to fill that void. Therefore, rela- tionships change, leaving both partners trying to fig- ure out new ways to spend time together — or apart — causing stress and lone- liness, not to mention fric- tion between them. If the person who lost the weight already suffered from men- tal health issues, his ability to cope is diminished from the get-go. Add to that, that he no longer "medicates" with food exposing raw the emotions, and the result in- deed could be what is seen in this study. To me, this reiterates that — with very few ex- ceptions — get thin quick weight loss programs might change us on the outside, but if we don't address the root causes of the weight problem — thoughts, feel- ings, and beliefs — the re- sults can actually be worse than tipping the scales at too high of a number. The question we ask must shift from "How fast can I lose weight" to "How do I build a healthier lifestyle that I can live with?" Answer the latter in- stead of the former and not only will you be thin, but also your relationships will improve and indeed you'll find the happiness that you sought.

POLICE LOGS Rumors have been cir- culated here persistently to the effect that the Diamond Match Company was about to reopen its box factory and lumber mills at Red Bluff and Lyonsville and re- sume its former activity in this section. News repre- sentatives interviewed local people who should be in a position to know regarding such matters and always re- ceived the answer that there was absolutely "nothing to it," than the company was curtailing rather than in- creasing its lumber opera- tions. During a recent visit in Chico of W. A. Fairburn, of New York, president of the Diamond Match Corpora- tion, the News, through a special representative se- cured an expression from Fairburn and from V. S. Woolby, Pacific Coast Man- ager, regarding their proba- ble operations in Red Bluff in the near future. In reference to their lum- ber operation there are no plans to open in Red Bluff. — Oct. 16, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
