Two internationally recognized environmental activists and filmmakers bring their feature-length documentary to Califor- nia State University, Chico at 7 p.m. Monday, March in Rowland-Taylor Recital Hall. Alice and Lincoln Day will screen and discuss their film, "Documentary Filmmakers of Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives: The Environmental Footprint of War." In all its stages, from the production of weapons through combat to cleanup and restora- tion, war entails actions that pollute land, air and water. War destroys biodi- versity and drains natural resources, yet the envi- ronmental damage is rou- tinely underestimated, underreported and ignored. A dialogue with the filmmakers will follow the film, discussing the war in Iraq, sustainability and the environmental impact of modern war- fare. Free and open to the public.

Or crocuses. The promise of spring looms large, and with it comes the promise of some really great bargains for those who are patient and know where to look. • Bicycles. A great place to find a good used bicycle is at a local police auction. These typically are held in the spring. Bikes for sale are ones that were stolen, recov- ered but never claimed, or they're bikes that were used in crimes and confiscated by the authorities. Either way, the bikes are cleared and ready to be sold to the highest bidder. You should expect to pay only 10 to 25 percent of a bike's retail price. Just make sure you use the inspection period well so you know what you're bidding on. • Sports equipment. Whether you need a T-ball stand, soccer shinguards or skis, spring is the time to find a bargain. As the snow melts and spring-cleaning gets under way, garage sales pop up across the country. Let someone else's attempt to clean out be your opportunity to pick up the stuff you and the kids will need soon. • Thrift shops. Some families will be holding big garage sales, but others prefer to donate all the stuff in their attics and garages they no longer need. This time of year, thrift shops get crowded with mer- chandise, and managers will mark down the goods, especially winter items. The best time to shop at a thrift store is the off-season, when you'll find the best deals. Look for heavy coats, scarves and gloves in the spring and summer. • Frozen foods. March is National Frozen Food Month, the brainchild of the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association. Look for big sales in the frozen food aisle and plenty of coupons for name brands of everything frozen. Take this opportunity, if you can, to load up your freezer for the coming months. • Snowblowers. I know. Snow may be the last thing you want to think about right now. However, if you discovered in the months past that your equipment was not ade- quate, now is the time to get great deals on replace- ments. Stores don't want to warehouse blowers over the summer, so they're discounting them just before winter ends. Start looking now to find a deal. The only problem for you is that you'll be the one storing it over the summer. Of course, there will be many other bargains out there as retailers struggle to stay in business, and those who are unsuccess- ful hold going-out-of- business sales. Just be forewarned: No bargain is a good deal if it is for something you don't need. Be careful out there.
