With the coming ses- sion of the legislature the question of just when the fishing season should open will be under discus- sion. Word has reached this city that the state game commission in- tends to again change the date of opening the sea- son. Under the law which was passed by the last ses- sion of the legislature the date was changed from the first day of April to the first day of May. This date was decidedly unsatisfactory to those who take pleasure in hooking the finny trout. In fact the entire system of opening the fish sea- son is entirely wrong, ac- cording to those who have made a study of this ques- tion. On top of this comes the information that the commission had in view an amendment to the present game laws which would put the date of the opening over until the first day of June. In connection with this proposed change the sportsmen of this city and county are arrang- ing to have a petition cir- culated in the northern part of the state asking for many changes, which they deem advisable and for the best interest of all concerned. Prominent in this list is E. C. Powell, a man who has made deep study of fish and fishing conditions in his part of the state. Mr. Powell has already written the com- mission setting forth his ideas of what he and other fishermen think pertain- ing to the question. —Dec.16,1916 100YEARSAGO... Localfishermen want laws changed WouldopenseasonApril1 North Valley PG&E em- ployees donated 2,775 pounds of food to area food banks recently, which consisted of frozen birds, canned oysters, stuffing mix and pasta. In all, PG&E and employ- ees donated 120 frozen tur- keys, dozens of hams and a variety of cans containing soups to nuts. For the second consecu- tive year, employees from the division organized a food drive for the North State Food Bank in Oro- ville. The agency serves an eight-county area, which in- cludes Tehama County, and provides food to individu- als, group homes for youth, seniors, soup kitchens and church pantries. "PG&Eemployeesarepart of the community where they live and work. We give back to our communities and are proud to support the Food Bank," said Lia White, senior manager of PG&E's North Valley division. Employees in a flatbed truck and trailer on Dec. 12 delivered the collected food, which was supplemented by a donation from the com- pany's shareholder-funded communityrelationsdepart- mentthatpurchasedthetur- keys, hams and cheeses. "This donation is won- derful. This food will get us through the holidays and into January," said Lisa Roehling, manager of the food and nutrition program for the Community Action AgencyofButteCounty,Inc., which runs the food bank and serves Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Plumas, Sierra, Sut- ter, Tehama and Yuba coun- ties.

Because many people know me as the "weight loss guy," they think I'm monitoring what they eat or how they act. As I have stated on numerous occasions, should we bump into each other at a restaurant or gro- cery store, I'm not watch- ing what you eat or put in your grocery cart — and I would appreciate you re- turning the favor. After all, it's just plain weird to monitor someone else's food anyway. This time of year also brings out from people "true confessions." I bump into someone who used to go to one of my meetings or that I coached and they feel the immediate need to justify their absence. The conversation will go some- thing like this: "Oh, hi Scott. Nice to see you, how have you been?" "Doing great — but I'll get better." A line I "stole" from a radio talk show host I like. "How are you?" "Well, I've been having some trouble with my diet. I'm definitely coming back to the meetings, but I just wanted to wait until the holidays are over." Firstly, there's no need to justify to me whether or not you're on a diet or go- ing to meetings. We each lead our own lives. We each have our own priorities. I won't try to run your life if you won't run mine. Having said that, I've al- ways found it curious when one says he or she will "wait until the holidays are over" as they've been going on for a couple thousand years. I don't think they're ending anytime soon. The reality of that raised my cu- riosity level and prompted me to take a look at the holidays this time of year. There are more holidays in December than chocolate Santas at the office holiday party. Of course, we all know about New Year's, Christ- mas, and Hanukkah. How- ever, we might not know that the reason Hanukkah or Chanukah, or Hannuka has so many spellings is be- cause of the guttural sound of the first letter when spo- ken in Hebrew, its natural language of course. Appar- ently, that sound cannot be rendered properly in Eng- lish. December also brings with it Kwanzaa. Most of us have heard of the festi- val but I'm not sure we all understand its significance. It's a seven-day holiday, cre- ated in 1965 by Dr. Mau- lana Karena with the in- tention of providing Afri- can Americans with a link to their heritage. Each of the seven days celebrates one of the Seven Principles, known as "Nguzo Saba." These principles include unity, self-determination, collective work, cooperative economics, purpose, cre- ativity, and faith. Another holiday in this final month of the year is Mawlid Un Nabi, celebrated in many countries as the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. Even within Islam, there is a split about whether to celebrate this holiday as Sunni Mus- lims discourage celebrat- ing birthdays while Sufis do honor it. December 8 is the Feast of the Immaculate Concep- tion, primarily celebrated by Roman Catholics in the solemn belief in the Im- maculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Also celebrated by Roman Cath- olics, as well as some Prot- estant denominations is the Feast Day for St. John the Apostle on December 27, the third day of Christmas. (The Orthodox Church re- fers to it as the Feast of the Holly and Glorious Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian and they celebrate it in Sep- tember.) December 21 marks the Winter Solstice, the short- est day and longest night of the year. Many pagan rit- uals have long celebrated that day, which is some- times on December 22. The shortness of the day and the length of the night prompted rituals that were intended to bring back the sun. Another interesting factoid about that day is that the Mayan Calendar's last day was winter sol- stice in 2012, prompting many to expect the world to end at that time. Um, they were wrong in case you didn't know. Although there are many others, I'll conclude this list with Super Saturday, a "holiday" that marks the end of shopping season. It is the last Saturday prior to Christmas, and with the exception of Black Friday, has been the top sales day for the last several years. In 2014, it actually out-grossed Black Friday. Whatever and however you celebrate — and for that matter whether you do so at all — may the com- ing year be filled with awe and wonder and peace for us all.
