There isn't much encour- agement to kill a panther these kidding days and be- come a hero. Our friends be- little our achievements and josh us out of all the ap- plause. If we tell the truth they doubt it, and if we lie they catch us and swear that we never saw a panther. We are moved to make this dis- closure by the presence of a fox squirrel pelt in the show window of the Paul Stoll company. Clearly it is as we havestated—asquirrelhide. But accompanying the hide is a placard reading, "This is the lion with ferocious teeth that Tom killed." Peoplepassingbystopand read the sign and smile and pass on. And the man that really did kill a panther, and killeditdead,stickstohisan- vilandletsthejoshingpublic have its fun. He is strong in the knowledge that he had a keen eye and a steady hand, and that fellows like Judge Lennon and George Fritz spend their vacation catch- ing minnows and grasshop- pers. There is nothing of the heroic in their makeup. — Sept. 23, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Exhibit pelt of the lion Tom killed Tehama County has re- ceived a few letters mailed by the Voter Participation Center and is aware of com- plaints received at the Secre- tary of State's office regard- ing letters sent from a group calledtheVoterParticipation Center, said Tehama County Clerk and Recorder Jennifer Vise. The following press re- leasewasissuedbytheoffice of SecretaryofState Alex Pa- dilla. County elections officials and the Secretary of State's office have received more than 100 complaints from voters who have received letters from a group called the Voter Participation Cen- ter. The organization's let- ters claim that the voter is not registered to vote and offers a pre-filled voter reg- istration form that has in- correct or outdated infor- mation, or information for persons who don't live at the address. In many instances, the voter is in fact properly registered to vote. Causing confusion right before an election is wrong. It is important that organi- zationsconductingvoterreg- istration drives through the mail ensure that their voter data is up-to-date and accu- rate. "If you have questions about your voter registra- tion status, check directly with your county elections office," Padilla said. "Many counties have online tools that allow voters to verify their voter registration in- formation." Contact information for countyelectionsofficialsand links to county online voter registration status tools are available on the Secretary of State's website at www.sos. ca.gov/elections/registration- status/." New voters or persons who want to update their voter registration informa- tion can visit the Secretary of State's official voter regis- tration website: http://regis- tertovote.ca.gov/. Ifyouneedtoupdate your voter registration informa- tion, the deadline is Oct. 24. ELECTION Voter Participation Center co mp la in ts r ec ei ve d In September 1993, the thing for men was silk long-sleeve shirts hiked to the elbow, and bold, brightly col- ored ties. Radio sta- tions played The River of Dreams by Billy Joel, Runaway Train by Soul Asylum, and Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart. True Romance, A Bronx Tale and The Joy Luck Club flickered on movie screens. Television's offerings included Mur- phy Brown, Roseanne, and Seinfeld. The Internet — as we know it now — didn't ex- ist. E-mail was in its in- fancy, but I'm sure there was spam. Our president was Bill Clinton with Tom Foley as the Speaker of the House. Finally, news sto- ries included PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin shaking hands; and the continued legal fallout from the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco. The biggest news story in my world was my 39th birthday on September 28 and that my life was ca- reening out of control. I suffered from severe back and chest pains; my fi- nances were a mess; my marriage was hanging by a thread — and I topped the scales at 250 pounds. Taking self-inventory, I came to the shocking re- alization that what was in common among all these difficulties was me; I had become my own enemy. From past experience, I knew that my canary in the coal mine was my eat- ing. When I got that under control, everything else fell in place. But if you added up all the weight I had lost, and then regained, over the course of my not- quite-forty-years, I'm sure it would have been in the thousands. I had even helped others lose weight. Yet, I always regained it, reverted to old habits over time. Defeated, overwhelmed, and hopeless — but seeing no alternatives — I opted to try "one last time," promising myself that by September 28, 1994, I'd be "fit, fun, and fiscally sound." It was that de- spair that led me to ac- tion. I went to a meeting; I reached out. A small step, yes, but still it was movement. When I entered the room, I wanted to fall through a hole in the floor. It took ev- ery ounce of will I could muster to prevent me from turning and running to the nearest bakery. Yet I stayed; one more small step. Shedding several pounds the first week was cer- tainly exciting — but I had such a long way to go that it seemed a drop in the bucket. I decided I needed more support; I expanded my circle of friends and be- gan therapy — more steps. I took a walk daily; quite literally lots of steps. As my weight changed, my sense of control began to return. I smiled more often and hurt much less. I felt lighter — literally as well as figuratively. My old self was shedding, re- vealing a new, more confi- dent inner being. With the exception of my faltering marriage, my relationships deepened. My wife, seeing obvious changes, asked, "You're losing weight because you want to leave me, aren't you?" Compassionately — but honestly — I replied, "No, I'm doing this because I'm going to be health- ier. I hope you'll come with me — but I'm going either way." Sadly, we parted ways soon after. September of 1994 saw the release of The Shaw- shank Redemption, the premier of Friends and ER. Radio stations played I'll Make Love to You by Boyz II Men and the top news story that dominated the headlines was the begin- ning of the OJ Simpson murder trial. For me, it was that I lost 70 pounds in 364 days and reached my goal on Sep- tember 27, 1994 — one day before "deadline." Twenty-two years have slide into the past, but I'm still here; struggling now and then and also often surprised by new victo- ries I didn't expect. After all, how could I? I've never maintained a weight goal this long. Yet when asked recently, "What's the biggest lesson you've taken away from this?" It's easy to answer. It all starts with asking for help and taking one small step; putting one foot in front the other and not worrying about how far is the road nor how long it will take. After all, if we could do it on our own, we would have already done it — whatever "it" is.
