2A Daily News – Friday, June 1, 2012 Community people&events Old-fashioned concerts in the park to begin Monday Special to the DN Old fashion band concerts in the park will begin this coming Monday evening, June 4, in the Red Bluff River Park, performed by the Red Bluff Com- munity Band, with Jay Thiel conducting. The programs begin at 8 p.m. every Monday reminisce as these good old tunes are being rendered live in our River Park. Members of the band come from far away as Weaverville, Shasta Lake City, Redding, Anderson, and Cottonwood. One member even comes from San Francisco to play in the band. "It is really a good feeling that people will travel from so far to play in our band," Thiel said. "I'm glad we have something to offer to entice them to travel these distances to support our little band. We have had difficulty rounding up locals so we have to recruit from wherever we can. Instrumentalists and musicians who read music are always welcome to join us." evening June through August and are free, although the band does accept donations to help with expens- es as the band does not have any regular income.

Bring your folding chair and set up for an hour program of original marches, dixieland tunes, broad- way show tunes, light classical numbers, patriotic tunes, a smattering of "old standards" songs through the years, and ending up with a "sing-a-long" num- ber to bring back memories of the great times of the past. The music the Red Bluff Community Band will be playing is seldom heard anywhere today, if at all. Here is a chance to take a musical journey into the great years past, which hopefully will bring up fond memories of time gone by but not forgotten.

Shame or health? isn't always easy because we all possess "secret places;" those spaces we don't reveal; too embar- rassed or ashamed to admit out loud. Like you, I have a firm moral center; therefore my "dark places" are not deep black, more appropri- ately they are shades of grey. Who knows, if I let them loose to be washed in open sunlight, I might learn they're simply "off-white." That belies the issue: I'm not proud of them. That's part of the human condi- tion; none of us have achieved absolute self-acceptance. Sure, we don a strong veneer, and generally, we're pretty good about keeping in place our mask. Yet, it's still one foot in front of the other on the road to self-acceptance, occasionally stumbling in potholes. Lately, I've been in a funk. It originates when I wake up with foggy, upsetting recollections of distressing dreams. Although they evaporate with the morning light, an unsettling, discomforting residual coating on my psyche remains. The day commences with me drained, overwhelmed, and leery of what may come. In effect, my attitude "sucks," which is unlike me. We all go experience that, pass- I attempt to be transparent. It ing it off to "one of those days," or a "rough patch." But when does it become "normal," and one realizes you're no longer who you were, but rather who you have become? One thing leads to another, and I end up attempting to enhance my outlook by falling back on an old habit — for me, that's eating. Logi- effects. In this instance, it's weight gain. When I gain weight — especially self- induced — I become depressed. When that hap- pens, I seek more "treat- ment," leading to more pounds, which… Well, you see the cycle. cally, will it help? No, of course not. But it has nothing to do with rationality when you're stuffing granola bars in your pie hole at 11 PM. That is naked raw jagged emotion; I'm "medicating," pure and simple. Medications have side noggin. But I walked out of the emergency room five hours later. Put it in perspective! Don't misunderstand. I'm not making excuses for my lack of self- restraint. I'm attempting to illuminate the opaque. We feel what we feel, period — for better or worse. We deny it or accept it. Should we choose to change it, the latter is our only choice. Relief comes with Should this be happen- ing to someone seeking my counsel, I'd ask, "What precipitated this change in behavior? When did it start?" I was hit by the car while riding my bike. My answer: October 25, the day Inner critics are always caustic and brash; mine is no exception, so he stomps his way to the forefront: "Really? That's what's bothering you, something that happened six months ago? Get over it. Stop being a crybaby. Suck it up; get on with your life!" Then I realized I'm probably suf- fering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (and mild depression). I'm embarrassed to admit it. It's unmanly. I should be able to cope better. I mean, come on, it's not like I was pinned down in a firefight in Afghanistan. In the big picture, I'm ridiculously lucky.
