Raker Friday stating that the bill creat- ing the Lassen Volcanic National Park had passed the Senate. This means in effect that the park will be an assured thing as it is now up to the President to sign the bill. The passage of this measure, which has been up in some form or other for several months, is re- garded as a great accom- plishment for the four counties directly affected, Lassen, Plumas, Shasta and Tehama, as well as for the entire northern section of the state. For it has long been predicted by men familiar with the conditions in the section comprising the park that it will ultimately be the playground of California. This will hasten its real- ization, as well as preserve to the people of the state a section replete with inter- est and abounding in nat- ural grandeur on a mam- moth scale. The new park com- prises about 80,000 acres, and is on the line of the state highway from Su- sanville to Red Bluff. Within its borders are to be found such interesting phenomena as the Lassen volcano, from which the park gets its name; Cin- der Cone, considered to be the most recent violent volcano activity in the United States; Snag Lake, formed by the lava forced from Cinder Cone; innu- merable boiling springs; a boiling lake, cold springs, ice caves, tumbling moun- tain streams teeming with fish, deep canyons, pictur- esque flats of great eleva- tion and pretty little val- leys and meadows, snow covered peaks and sunny dales, splendid forests of pine and fir and cedar, and throughout the tract won- derfully fascinating lakes of all sizes. It is not too much to pre- dict that the Lassen Volca- nic National Park is des- tined soon to be the play- ground of California. And as it develops the commu- nities adjacent to it will develop. —July29,1916 100 YEARS AGO...

Near it stands a sign, "When this candle is lit, a fam- ily is saying goodbye to their beloved pet. Please respect their grief and speak quietly." I told my wife, "I never want to be the family for which the candle is lit." Last Saturday, alas, we were. Although he lived with us nearly a decade, there were probably fewer than a dozen humans who ever had the good fortune to meet Motor, our younger cat. It's not that we don't invite people over, but Motor was the Cowardly Lion; everything fright- ened him. A knock on the door or a new voice over- heard could send him scurrying across our hard wood floor, trying to get traction, to take cover in our bedroom closet. He was there so often that many times my wife brought his dinner to him; a ritual I referred to as "Motor's home delivered meals." When visitors did glimpse a flash of him, we referred to it as a "Mo- tor sighting," generating the same sense of awe and wonder as one would feel in seeing a mythical crea- ture like a unicorn. At this point, let me ex- plain his name. Despite his trepida- tion with people, "Motor" was so christened because when he did feel safe, he engaged in a constant, in- cessant (sometimes an- noying), astoundingly loud purr. From the mo- ment we rescued him as a kitten our house rum- bled with the ongoing vi- bration of this ginger with wonderfully round, bril- liant eyes. The only time he would discontinue his purr would be when he was meowing — which he also did noisily and with- out end. Motor would emerge from exile and let out with a high-decibel "Mew- www," scaring the stuff- ing out of me on multiple occasions. Then, as if he'd done nothing alarming, head-bumped my hand un- til I petted him repeatedly. Recently, the purring ceased. We wrote it off to a cold but it refused to get better. The vet as- sumed hairballs, admit- ting it could be more. We'd start with the simplest di- agnosis and walk down the road if necessary. Never having been a boxer, I now know what it's like to be emotionally punch- drunk. From believing that he had a cold, we con- tinued further and fur- ther down the rabbit hole, each time assuming we had found the cause, and each occasion being pum- meled again. After hair- balls, the diagnosis was an internal inflammation, fol- lowed then by pancreati- tis, then a blockage was discovered. It's a topsy- turvy world when one is rooting for the result to be Lymphoma (because of its treatability). Lymphoma it was. Treatable? Not so much. While in the hospital, the vet called to inform us that our sweet souled, big eyed, always gentle, ex- tremely loquacious kitty had taken a severe turn for the worse. "Please get here quickly. There isn't much time." The ultimate irony was that — despite how he has appeared the last several times — he was perky, awake, and atten- tive. Unfortunately how- ever, his insides were not functioning and any min- ute he could "crash," caus- ing extreme suffering. We hugged Motor, told him how much we loved him, thanked him for all the joy he brought, and tearfully, wished him peace in his transition. It's remarkable how 15 pounds of fur can burrow so deep into your heart. We so wish the song ended on a different note. Yet, since I believe Motor came to us to us for a rea- son, I have to accept that his music is over and it's time for him to conduct on another plane. With great grief — I must then re- spect that. All things happen for the greatest good. I also trust that sometimes the "greatest good" just frankly sucks. Maybe his final lesson to us is that both sometimes exist in the same sphere. Who would have thought? We will purr again soon, but not right now. Scott "Q" Marcus is a nationally known weight loss expert for baby boomers and the CRP — Chief Recovering Perfectionist — of www.
