Observation number one was the num- ber of chick- ens and roosters roaming free about the is- land. From the moment we left the plane, chick- ens sur- rounded us. They were at baggage claim, the car rental, even — dare I say it — crossing the road when we were driving to our ho- tel. Apparently, chickens have been part of the cul- ture since the Polynesians settled it. However, in 1992, when Hurricane Iniki leveled the Garden Island, it also flattened the chicken coups, releasing them to the wild. Now, over two decades later, these free range birds are legally pro- tected and roam free (with the additional side effect of waking tourists up at 4:30 to the sound of roost- ers crowing.) One location on our must-see itinerary was the Na Pali coast, the rugged northwest beach that puts postcard photos to shame. The catch is it's unreach- able except by an extensive trek, multi-hour boat ex- cursion, or via helicopter. We ruled out walking that distance and the forty- foot swells knocked boat- ing out of the options, so we found ourselves at the hotel front desk, mak- ing reservations for a heli- copter. (Just to be clear, it comes with its own pilot.) Our concierge informed us that the trip's time and day will be determined by our heights and weights, ex- plaining that helicopters must be balanced correctly for safety. "How tall are you," she asked. "Five eight," I lied. My doctor says that I've shrunk to five seven and a half but I'm in denial. "And your weight?" If you've known me for longer than say, oh, thirty minutes; you know this is a tricky question. Whereby the average person might say something like, "About 180 I guess," I track my weight in the same fashion a stock broker follows Dow Jones' economic stats. "Will this be before or after breakfast?" I que- ried. As a "professional," I understand that makes a difference. After all, the most unfavorable out- come would be a scream- ing headline in tomorrow's Garden Island newspaper: "Helicopter crashes due to fat lying tourist." "Um," she reacted, un- derstandably confused, "Af- ter breakfast, most likely." "Great. Is it cold in the helicopter?" Still perplexed, she cour- teously answered, "Well, it's air conditioned so I guess it could be." Pause. "Why would that make a difference?" "If I wear a jacket, it could add to my weight." "Oh," she nodded, "I see. Well, we don't need to be that exact. An approxima- tion will be fine." Running some numbers through my mind, I consid- ered the weight of a morn- ing meal, adjusted up- wards for shoes and long pants instead of sandals and shorts, and reacted, "In that case, 188 and a half." "One eighty eight — and a half?" "Yep, that's only an ap- proximation of course." "Of course." With information in hand, our reservation was set for Wednesday. "Show up 30 minutes early to pre- pare," we were told as we left the desk. Per instructions, we ap- proached the front desk of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters 30 minute prior to take off, where the receptionist took our names and requested, "Please stand on the mat with the two blue Xs." Looking down I ob- served what I originally as- sumed was a floor mat. "Please stand with one on foot on each X," she continued, referencing blue masking tape in the shape of the letter taped to the mat. "What's this?" I asked. "It's a scale. We weigh you to determine where on the aircraft you'll sit." "I told them I was 188.5." "Yes, but now we need an exact weight. Please stand on the X." I did as instructed. Checking a computer screen, she said, "Your weight was wrong. You only weigh 183." "Really?" I exclaimed. "Wow! I lost weight on va- cation." "Yes, I guess you did." Best. Trip. Ever. Oh yes, and the view from the helicopter wasn't bad either. Scott"Q"Marcusis a nationally known weight loss expert for baby boomers and the CRP — Chief Recovering Perfectionist — of www.

On the way he passed the clock, just striking twelve, and the mystery was solved. The New Year was greeted in Red Bluff with noises of all kinds. Loco- motive whistle screamed, klaxons shrieked, and the populace generally cele- brated. For the first time in several years the fire bell in the City Hall was silent during the celebration, all good firemen being at the big ball. The New Year brought as a travelling companion the first snowfall of the season, which by press time had covered the ground with a mantle of white. — Jan. 1, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... New Year gets cool reception in Red Bluff PATH wishes to thank the com- munity for all its support in its Mega Buck Ticket drawing fund raising event held this last year.
