VIRGINIAPOLICE Crannis-Curl APPOMATTOX, VIRGINIA The Virginia State Police Appomattox Division's Area 18 Office is beginning the New Year with new leader- ship, as the Area 18 Office in Charlottesville welcomes 1st Sgt. Becky G. Crannis- Curl. Crannis-Curl, a Red Bluff native, was promoted Nov. 25 to the rank of first ser- geant and accepted the po- sition as the Area 18 Com- mander. She graduated from the Virginia State Po- lice Academy in 1995 as a member of the 91st Basic Session. The 51-year-old Red Bluff native is a 1982 graduate of Red Bluff Union High School. Crannis-Curl's first pa- trol assignment was in Area 46, Hampton and Newport News. Progressing through the state police ranks, she has worked in the Culpeper, Chesapeake, Salem and Training divisions. As ser- geant, she has supervised both the Chesapeake Divi- sion Motorcycle Unit and, most recently, the Salem Di- vision Motorcycle Unit. Crannis-Curl is a for- mer member of the Hamp- ton Police Division, a U.S. Army veteran and a recipi- ent of the Virginia State Po- lice Superintendent's Award for her valiant response and safe resolution to an inci- dent involving the shooting of a fellow state police ser- geant on Interstate 81 Me- morial Day 2011. Area 18 includes the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Greene and Nelson. RedBluffnative promoted to area commander Sheriff Boyd returned yesterday afternoon from a fruitless search over the country surrounding Paskenta and Henleyville for some definite trace of Abner Barnard, who ac- cidentally shot Mrs. Mar- tha Uhl through the cheek Thursday night while at- tempting to murder her niece Miss Nancy McClel- land. Barnard fled from the Uhl home immediately af- ter the shooting, leaving be- hind him his hat and the .22 rifle from which the shot was fired. He went to the Olney Burt ranch and there set fire to a large barn filled with hay and from that point started east to- ward Corning. His foot- prints were followed until he reached the Henleyville road, a short distance west of Flournoy. From that point all trace of him had been lost. The entire Paskenta sec- tion is up in arms over the brutal assault made by Bar- nard on Miss McClelland and the shooting of Mrs. Uhl and the entire country has been combed over by a volunteer posse hunting the would-be murderer. It is now believed that Barnard's motive was that of robbery. Mrs. Uhl is re- puted to possess a large amount of money and valuables all of which is secreted in her home. Bar- nard visited a near neigh- bor just before going to Mrs. Uhl's home and was said to be acting rather queerly. He was known to have a rather eccentric dis- position. — Jan. 15, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Find no trace of man who shot Mrs. Uhl You're there for Mom. We're here for you.

Obvi- ously, the only ratio- nal expla- nation is extra-ter- restrial in- tervention with a hefty dose of mind control. The realization that I was altered began inno- cently. We were trying to find a patch of blue sky that matched for both our cal- endars. "What do you look like at 5:30?" She asked. I swiped up on my de- vice until the day came into view. "Can't make it. I've got Zumba." "What about after that?" "Nope," I replied. "I've got another class; it's a high intensity non-con- tact mixed martial arts kind of thing done to mu- sic." "Sounds extreme. You do that right after Zumba?" "Yeah." "Wow. I'm impressed. You're a real fitness en- thusiast." "Not really," I started to respond. But, appre- ciated her view that two hours of non-stop exercise could easily be construed as such. I paused for a moment and corrected myself. "I guess I am." You see, the "me" of older days would pretty much do anything to avoid one hour of working out, let alone two in row; not to mention the inten- sity of the activities. After all, I had excuses aplenty: I'm "old." I've never been an athlete. I'm clumsy. I have asthma. Back then, the extent of my workout was pushing my luck and jumping to conclusions. Yet, somewhere be- tween then and now, "Yesterday Me" morphed into "Today Me," whose calendar has two-hour blocks at least twice a week where I — willingly I might add — jump, run, punch, kick, sweat and even dance — if you want to call what I do dancing. Even more confounding is I was paying for the priv- ilege of putting myself through this. How did that happen? There's no "a-ha mo- ment" where I trans- ported from Coach Potato Supreme to "fitness en- thusiast." It's not like one day someone lit a flame under my sagging behind and I leapt from my sofa, darted to the gym, and panted away to two hour of aerobics. More accu- rately, it evolved. But, see, that's the thing; the real method in how change happens; it's not a light switch. More accurately, it's a dim- mer gradually increas- ing in brightness until the darkness is no more. Habits don't just "pop." They make themselves ap- pear in the same fashion as condensation appears on a cold class of lemon- ade on a hot summer's day, gradually coalesc- ing. The outside of the tumbler starts dry but in short time it's saturated. The drops didn't all sud- denly materialize. They gradually, one by one, lit- tle by little, developed un- til the glass was lousy with them. Habits do that too. One day, I'm "trying out" one Zumba class, forced into it by peer pressure and feeling as relaxed as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Yet — while not intending to make it a routine — I stuck with it until it was. Then, the folks at the gym had the audacity to add a new quasi-mixed-martial- arts class immediately af- terwards. "No way," I emphat- ically responded when asked if I was going to stay. "I will if you will," she said. "Let's stay a little and see what it's like." And so that happened and we let it. She said she'd try it again if I did. I sheepishly agreed. Twice became thrice. Six turned to a dozen. Now I look forward to it so much so that I actually bought a heart rate monitor. "One hundred fifty three," I exclaimed when I came home. "One hundred fifty three what," asked my wife. "That was my peak heart rate in my class; 153 beats per minute. Pretty impressive for an old guy, huh?" She nodded; assuming it was important to me by my reaction. After all, what kind of person is ex- cited about 153 beats per minute? A fitness enthusiast is.

POLICE LOGS By Mary Nugent mnugent@chicoer.com @ER_MaryNugent on Twitter CHICO Florence Mon- trond had a little help cele- brating her 108th birthday Thursday at Amber Grove Place,whereshelives.Fifth- graders from Hooker Oak School arrived in the after- noon to share a history of the more than 10 decades she has lived. They sang Happy Birthday to her, and everyone got a cupcake. "Itjustbreaksyourheart, seeing all these kids," said Montrond, surrounded by the children. Lucid and happy, it was clear that Montrond was moved by the students' visit. She told them how she grew up in Woodland, attended college in Sacra- mento and was a teacher. The 30 fifth-graders helped her celebrate her birthday, some dressed in costumes depicting the years gone by. There was a flapper, a hippy, a boy in a zoot suit. They brought a creative and thoughtful gift for her. With the help of their teacher, Beth Geise, they made posters for each de- cade she has lived and did presentationswiththepost- ers for her. The posters started out with the year 1908, when she was born, and went through present day. The students talked about fads, inventions, sports, historic events and all the presi- dents who have served dur- ing Montrond's lifetime.
