Award winning author Reyna Grande, who wrote "The Distance Between Us," will give a commu- nity presentation and dis- cussion at 4 p.m. Wednes- day, Jan. 25 at Red Bluff High School's Cafe Sparta. Grande's memoir was selected as the high school's Book in Common this year and all students and community members were urged to read and discuss it. BOOK IN COMMON Re no wn ed a ut hor t o speak at Red Bluff High If you were awake at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 2, you heard it. That giant clunk was the sound of the na- tional psyche slam- ming over from "How much can I eat" to "How quickly can I lose weight?" It happens ev- ery year and continues until New Year's reso- lution's are faded mem- ories. Interesting fun fact, 80 percent of peo- ple give up by mid-Feb- ruary. Yet, this is the time of year, when, without fail we are inundated with advertisements, spam, boosted posts, spon- sored searches, TV pro- grams — and yes, col- umnists — who pro- vide astute coaching on how to lose "those extra pounds" you put on dur- ing the holidays and get in shape. Warmed-over, threadbare, time-and- again guidance is ladled out in generous propor- tion each January and early February, as reli- ably as rain and snow make the headlines. Chefs explain lower- fat meal preparation. Size zero models adorned in $500 leotards and $2,000 running shoes champion their personal workout plans. Equally ubiquitous, snake oil in- fomercials and radio ads attempt to pry con- sumer from wallet with assurances of medica- tion and machines that "melt weight off without effort." Been there, heard that. Over and over and over and over again. Yet, at one time, I still weighed 250 pounds. Let's be honest. We know how to lose weight, shut your mouth and move your feet. It need not be belabored ad nausea. What blocks our progress is we just plain don't want to do it. It seems overwhelming and we've tried it too many times previously. Sure, we desire good health. Yes, we like it when we look attractive. No, we are not fond of the stuffed-to-the-gills- can't-budge gastric dis- tress following a binge of belly-busting burg- ers dripping with cheese and wrapped in a pigful of bacon. The hitch in the get-along is that di- eting takes forever; re- quires excessive, unend- ing, Herculean effort; and feels like it never succeeds. Why embark upon a laborious, frus- trating voyage with de- feat at its termination? As said in college, "Flunk now, avoid the June rush." When I started these weekly missives sev- eral years ago, I prom- ised myself, the editors — and most important: you — that I would not dwell on "carbs, calories and calisthenics;" that's everywhere already and we're not listening. Yes, nutrition and activ- ity are essential to suc- cess, but what is lacking in the public dialogue is a conversation about the feelings, beliefs and thoughts required for change. We are not "food zom- bies," in control one mo- ment, consuming un- countable calories the next, without some in- tervening thought pro- cess. In that illogi- cal flash, I consider al- ternatives, rise from the couch, head to the kitchen, figure out what foods will comfort me — and only then do I drain the cabinets. I know it's not healthy but this is not about smart, this is about feelings. For the next few weeks, I'm doing a se- ries: What goes into the heart and brain before whatever goes down the mouth and stomach — i.e., why do we do what we do when we know we won't like ourselves later? Whether you're trying to lose weight, stop smoking or just change your attitude, I hope you enjoy. Besides, at least for the time it takes to read this, you won't be eat- ing. And that's as good a start as any. Scott "Q" Marcus is a nationally known weight loss expert for baby boomers and the CRP — Chief Recovering Perfectionist — of www. ThisTimeIMeanIt.com.

CALTRANS I-5 to close Saturday for demo completion The final chapter of the seduction charge against Roy L. Beauchamp was written yesterday when the young man was united in marriage to Eva Higgin- botham, the young woman who caused his arrest on the serious charge. The wedding took place about seven o'clock last night in the county clerk's office. The license was is- sued to the couple after Sheriff Jud Boyd and E. F. Lennon returned with the young lady from her home at Kirkwood. These two officers went to that town yesterday afternoon and secured the consent of the parents of the girl to the wedding. Besides the two the wedding was wit- nessed by Mrs. S. E. Lyon, a neighbor of the Higgin- botham family who ac- companied the party to this city. Beauchamp is a South- ern Pacific brakeman and he and his bride will make their home in that city. After the wedding the charge against Beau- champ was dismissed on the advice of the district attorney. — Jan. 13, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
