Another Tea Party member told the board he wanted it on the record that he opposed creating a Tehama County Trails and Open Space Coordinator as it continued to push forward Agenda 21. "I don't even know what that is," said Alan Abbs, who is taking on the new position as part of his Air Pollution Control Officer duties. Abbs was quickly handed an informational packet by a Tea Party member. Earlier in the meeting, Abbs had garnered praise from Supervisor Gregg Avilla in regards to the new position he will fill representing the county's interests with other agen- cies and community groups in regards to trails and open space planning.

Unemployment rates are now below 7 percent in 23 of the 50 states. The Labor Department says rates rose in seven states in October and were unchanged in six. South Carolina's rate fell from 9.1 percent to 8.6 percent, the biggest drop among states. It has fallen a full percentage point in just two months.

The California Office of Traffic Safety said Monday that 14 percent of drivers surveyed tested positive for driving under the influence of illegal or prescription drugs. A little more than 7 percent of drivers were driving with alcohol in their system. The Los Angeles Times says the federally funded impaired driving survey involved more than 1,300 drivers who voluntarily provided breath and-or saliva samples at roadside locations in nine California cities on Friday and Saturday nights.

North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate among states, at 3.1 percent. The state has benefited from an oil and gas drilling boom. THE PASSING PARADE I had in mind to write of when a loved one dies, and how that moment is fixed in time of which they will know nothing of events to come, when I saw an article in the New Yorker by Roger Angell titled "Over The Wall" and sub-titled "What the dead don't know." I glanced at the text concerning the death of the writer's wife, and decided to read no further so as not to be influenced by his own take on the subject. We have had, of course, many deaths in our extended family over the years, but I shall only go back to my father's in 1964, my mother's in 1987…and, more recently, our daughter Madalyn's. The subject will be what they did not know about things to come. Samples were tested for alcohol, marijuana and illegal drugs as well as prescription and over-the-counter medica- tions. Father lived long enough to enjoy his grandchildren, walking on his ranch… and baseball. He lived to see our four children grow to the age of reasoning, but only one boy of my sister Lizann's, as she was pregnant with a daughter at the time of his demise. Father did not know that one day (1969) a man would walk on the moon or that our children would have children of their own…or that the San Francisco Giants would win, not one but two World Series (2010-2012), not in Candlestick Park, but in a new stadium built 36 years after his demise. These were all events he would have certainly enjoyed. However, if he had lived longer, he would have suffered the closing of our meat plant in 1975, the bitterness of our country entering into the Vietnam War in 1965 and the agony of 9/11. And yet he would have been astounded at the folly of our involvement in the Iraq War in 2003 which, in one form or another, continues to this day…our longest war. Mother, on the other hand, lived to see our children grow and prosper, the birth of at least one great grandchild and many other noteworthy events leading up to her untimely death. Daughter Madalyn's life was cut short by complications of diabetes in 2011, but by that time she had experienced much accolade via her writing and her wit. What is therefore to be concluded from the above exercise? For one thing, time marches on. Or, as Omar the tent maker contended, "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." We can go back in time but only through remembrance of things past, the writings of those who have preceded us and the image of our progeny. All else is fleeting and changing and morphing into happenings of which few can imagine. It is best we do not know of things to come, for often the bitter is coupled with the sweet. Live in the present and take no heed of the "hereafter". There is no guarantee of that.
