Exploring Costa Rica presented by Mike Fisher. Monday, March 17, 6:30 p.m. Chico Creek Nature Center On Sept. 25, 2013, Mike Fisher set out on what he hoped to be an adventure of a lifetime. His goal seemed simple; to see as much of the small country of Costa Rica as he could in three months. He traveled alone and stayed in motels, hotels, hostels, cabinas, B&Bs, lodges, re - sorts, and research sta- tions. He was constantly on the move so every meal was either supplied by the place He was staying or eateng in restaurants or on the street. He traveled by air, car, bus, van, boat, taxi, motorcycle and foot. Budget: $50 per day. Join Fisher as he relives this experience through the photos he took and a daily blog he wrote. He will share with you some of his most memorable ex per iences both good and bad. Marvel at his lucky finds and laugh at his silly mistakes. You will be awed by some of the most amazing birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, in - sects and breathtaking flora you can imagine. By nights end you will leave with new insights into this small but hugely diverse country and know why it is called; the rich coast, Costa Rica Bobelaine Audubon Sanc - tuary field trip, March 1. Trip Leaders: Joseph O'Neil and Kathy Trevino Join us for a 3-mile hike at the Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary. Located along the Feather River South of Yuba City. This 430 acre wildlife sanctuary is main - tained by volunteers of the Sacramento Audubon So- ciety. It was donated to Na- tional Audubon in 1975 by Bob and Elaine Crandall. The preserve is a rare rem- nant of the riparian forests that once spread up to five miles on either side of most rivers in the Sacramento Valley. We will be enjoying the views of Lake Crandall, the confluence of the Feather and Bear Rivers, and also the Sutter Buttes off in the distance.Among the trees we will see are really giant Sycamores, Valley Oaks and Cottonwoods. Over 190 species of birds have been observed here, in - cluding Western Bluebird, Green Heron, Yellow-billed Magpie, White-breasted Nuthatch, Black-crowned Night-Herons, Wood Ducks, Swainson's Hawks, and many different warbler spe- cies. Deer, turtles, river ot- ters, and possibly the fabled wild ram may grace us with their presence. There are over 4.5 mi of connected trails that Joseph has hiked. Kind of daunt - ing if you go by yourself un- guided. Join us to enjoy this registered State Ecological Preserve. Meet at the Chico Park & Ride at 8 a.m. and re - turn by 3 p.m. Contact Kathy Trevino at kathytrev@sbc- global.net or 530-872-8837 Chico Oxidation Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary trip, March 8. Trip Leaders: Raina and Steve King For the March Second Saturday, Steve and his daughter Raina will be at the Chico Oxidation Ponds, behind the Waste Water Treatment Plant. For water - fowl in the winter, and only four miles from Chico, this place is hard to beat. The walk is a little under two miles and lasts a little under three hours. If you prefer to keep the walk shorter, you may leave the group anytime. The walk to the back ponds is about a mile round trip. The full walk is about 2 miles on a good flat path. Meet at 2 p.m., the after - noon keeps the sun at our back and the temperatures warmer. Back to the parking lot before 5 p.m.. To get to the Oxidation Ponds, go west on W. 5th St from Highway 32 in Chico. Follow W 5th St, which becomes Chico River Rd, for four miles. The wild - life viewing parking area is 300 yards past the main en- trance to the water treat- ment plant, on the Left. Bring binoculars, spotting scopes, water, walking shoes and proper clothing for the expected weather condi - tions. There is a chemical toilet on the way out to the viewing blind. Rain cancels. For more information, call Steve King at 530 566-6136. To do Audubon Society events for March Studio 530, a Red Bluff photography studio, has do- nated an $800 Senior Por- trait package to benefit the Red Bluff Community Sober Grad Organization. "With all three of our kids graduating from Red Bluff High School and after donat - ing this very special gift of a senior portrait package for the last four years, and now in our fifth year, we want So - ber Grad to continue strong," co-owner Dianne Rabalais said. Providing a safe, sober alternative on graduation night reflects the goal of the Red Bluff Community Sober Graduation Organization as well as the Rabalais' goal of community service. "We moved here 23 years ago from a big city that wasn't this type of close-knit community," Danny Rabal - ais said. "This community took us in with open arms and helped us become part of their families." Community involvement became the impetus for a hobby turned business. All proceeds from the do - nation will benefit the Sober Grad Night Party on June 5, which will provide food, games, activities and prizes to every graduating senior from the Red Bluff Union High School Class of 2014. Raffle tickets for the por - trait package are $5 each or three for $10 and available at the boys' basketball home games, the upcoming Bunco Night Fundraiser on March 6 at the Elks Lodge and by sending an email to rbhsso - bergrad2014@gmail.com. Donations to the 2014 So- ber Grad Party can also be sent to the Red Bluff Sober Grad Organization, P.O. Box 9311, Red Bluff, 96080.

Saving consistently has become a rarity in America, and this was true even before the Great Recession hit back in 2008. The American Institute of Certified Public Accoun - tants has taken a proactive approach with a certain segment of the population: teens. FeedThePig.org is a personal finance site cre - ated to educate and in- spire teens to take control of their money by learning the benefits of saving. Through YouTube vid - eos, tips, quizzes, resources and fo- rums, teens are challenged to cre- ate a budget, think about spend- ing habits and talk about their fi- nances with close friends and fam- ily. "While it may seem ta- boo, no one wins when you're mum about money," says "spokespig" Benjamin Bankes. For kids in 4th-6th grades, Feed the Pig for Tweens features games and simulations designed for home and classroom in - volvement. Teachers and parents can download re- sources to incorporate into lesson plans or home in- struction, and The Great Piglet Challenge gives kids an interactive experience in saving and spending.
