The possibility of a re- moval of the freight and passenger terminal from Red Bluff to Gerber is again looming large on the hori- zon according to E. H. Ger- ber, the only man and the only spot that would profit greatly by such a move. At various times persis- tent rumors have been cir- culated to the effect that the Souther Pacific was about to move to its pro- posed new terminal. It is generally conceded that some day in all probability, the Company will at least move the freight terminal to that point because of the absolute necessity for increased yard facilities. However, if the state- ments of some of the high- est officials of the road are to be relied upon, there is nothing at this time to in- dicate an early removal to Gerber. Representative of the News have been in communication with offi- cials also in a position to know the inside workings of the Company and there seems to be no official in- tention of making such a change at this time. — Jan. 8, 1916 100YEARSAGO... Possibility of removal of terminal to Gerber is again brought up CONTRIBUTEDPHOTO The February Bird Walk at the Sacramento River Discovery Center, normally held at 8 a.m. the first Saturday of each month, has been rescheduled to the second Saturday, Feb. 13. The outing was moved due to the Snow Goose Festival scheduled at the end of January and the work schedule of the guide. Two sessions on the Snow Goose Festival are planned for the Discovery Center, 1000 Sale Lane, on Jan. 29 and 30. Log onto the festival website and look under Field Trips for more information.

DISCOVERY CENTER FEBRUARY BIRD WALK One might think that since my professional life orbits in the galaxy of helping peo- ple change their habits for good that I might be a fan of New Year's Reso- lutions. One might think that. How- ever, one would be wrong. Don't misunderstand; I believe that any time one wants to make a change for the better it's per- fect. Should the passing of another year be the in- spiration for that altera- tion, I'm all for it. How- ever, the swing side of this first-of-the-year ob- session is that each Jan- uary, everyone and their brother is mouthing, "This year, I promise to…" — yet, they don't. Blah, blah, blah. Moreover, the whole "New Year's resolution thing" provides cover for the whole "over indulgence thing" that runs from each October through Decem- ber. After all, one can fall back on the rationale; "I'll get back in control next year. Give me another serving please; don't be shy with the gravy." Anyway, I'm riding a little high on my horse. I apologize. Bottom line is that the best time to make a resolution is when you're actually committed to do- ing it, whether that is Jan- uary 1, March 22, or Octo- ber 5. As the ad says, "just do it." Yet, as long as I've taken us this far down the road, let's drive on and see what there is. According to Nielsen Ratings, last year the top five were, in order: stay fit and healthy, lose weight, enjoy life to the fullest, spend less and save more, and spend more time with family. Number seven on the list was the most suc- cessful as it was "not to make any resolutions." Odds are that the 18 per- cent of respondents who made that their resolution were the only folks who probably achieved what they said they would do. By the way, for those of us "of a certain age", the next time you're inclined to put down the "younger generation" as less am- bitious or lazy, it might be a good time to resolve to be quiet. According to the University of Scran- ton Journal of Psychology, only 14 percent of people my age (um, that would be over 50) achieve their res- olutions compared to 39 percent of folks in their twenties. Of all respon- dents however, one quar- ter will give up before the first week fades, and 73 percent will throw in the towel overall. Their stated reasons? Too busy or they weren't committed to it in the first place. I'm not quite sure how to interpret this next fact. As it turns out, people who do fully commit to making a resolution were ten times more likely to achieve them than those who did not. Isn't that akin to saying, "people who got in cars with an endpoint in mind were ten times more likely to get to their destination than those who didn't." Head scratching; maybe I'm just reading it wrong? It did get me thinking about what some of the more humorous resolu- tions people came up with were and, after digging through the interwebs, I found some that were worth sharing, especially if your resolution is to find more humor in life. Many were tech related, such as "I will think of a password other than 'pass- word' or 'hello,'" or "I will stop sending e-mail and text messages to someone who is in the room with me." Health related amus- ing pledges included: "I will do less laundry and use more deodorant" and "I will start brushing my teeth with the bristly end of toothbrush." Finally, a few others that stood out included, "I will figure out a way to be more imagi- native," "I will commit to working with neglected children — my own," and "I will find out why the correspondence course on 'Mail Fraud' that I pur- chased never showed up."
