Other agenda items The council will be asked to approve a MCKINLEYVILLE (AP) — The Coast Guard is crediting the use of an emer- gency beacon with the sav- ing of three people who were dumped into chilly ocean waters without life vests or survival suits when their Oakland-bound cata- maran capsized off the coast of Mendocino County. The two men and one woman on board the 32- foot Calypso had activated the boat’s emergency posi- tion indicating radio beacon signal just before the boat capsized in heavy seas a lit- tle before 1 p.m. Saturday, according to U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Todd Vorenkamp. Lotto numbers SACRAMENTO (AP) — The winning num- bers in Saturday evening’s drawing of the Cali- fornia Lottery’s ‘‘SuperLotto Plus’’ game were: 09-13-25-29-32, Mega Ball: 9 (nine, thirteen, twenty-five, twenty-nine, thir- ty-two; Mega Ball: nine) The beacon, also known as an EPIRB, transmits the GPS position, identity of the vessel and other informa- tion to the Coast Guard. The distress signal was the only communication the Coast Guard received from the stricken sailboat. Though the beacon was able to pinpoint the boat’s location 20 miles from Fort Bragg, it still took a Coast Guard helicopter about an hour to make its way through strong winds to the project that would enhance the down- town area. Fixing Walnut Street, between Main and Madison streets, will now be combined with a street lighting project that was approved in March. About $250,000 of the city’s $400,000 Proposition 1B funds will be used for the Walnut Street Enhancement and Rehabilitation Project. The council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 555 Washington St. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. Coast Guard rescues 3 off Mendocino coast scene. A 47-foot motor lifeboat was also dis- patched, with its crew reporting seas of 14 to 16 feet. When the helicopter arrived, it found the three crewmembers clinging to the hull of the overturned boat as waves washed over. The three were hoisted into the helicopter with the help of a rescue swimmer, flown to Ukiah Airport, then taken to a hospital. ‘‘If you ever wanted to hear a story about how important it is to have a reg- istered EPIRB on your ves- sel and a float plan ashore, look no further than this case,’’ Vorenkamp said. SHIFT Continued from page 1A as they get accustomed to it.” The construction is part of a CalTrans effort to repave and rehabilitate roads and down through California, which have deteriorated and need a fresh layer of pavement, Yergensen said. Sponsored by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, the company expects to wrap up the $35.5 million “Red Bluff Rehabilitation Pro- ject” sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, possibly by November, she said.

Get household help for about a buck a week If the question "What's for din- ner?" fills you with a sense of dread, you should listen in on a conversation I had with my niece Abby Borders, from San Jose. She's a former high-school teacher and now a stay-at-home mom. She told me about her new personal household assistant, E-mealz. EC: What is E-mealz, and how did you hear about it? AB: E-mealz is an online service that offers a weekly menu and shopping list to make grocery shop- ping and cooking a snap. A friend was raving about the meals she was eating all week, so when I asked for the recipes, she directed me to http://e-mealz.com. EC: How does it work? AB: E-mealz offers different kinds of menu plans. We subscribe to the low-fat plan for two. Every week, I go to the E-mealz website and print a two-page document with our meals, ingredients and recipe instructions plus a complete shop- ping list for my local supermarket. I spend significantly less money shopping this way than I used to when I planned meals myself. EC: Is there a cost? AB: The subscription is $5 per month, which works out to less than $1.25 per week. I easily save more than that grocery shopping, not to mention the time I don't spend plan- ning meals. EC: This seems to be working for you. Why? AB: Now I am much more organized. When one area of my life (such as meal planning) is put together, I'm able to keep the other areas together, as well. It's one less thing to worry about. I also love that E-mealz has plans that work for any size family. At this point, we only need recipes that feed two adults. As my daughter grows and as we expand our family, I anticipate changing my subscription to a family plan, which will provide recipes that feed four to six people. EC: Where do you find the coupons you need, or do you really need coupons with E- mealz? AB: E-mealz doesn't require coupons, which I like. Most plans are linked to a specific store, so the menus consist of items that are on sale this week. You really only need to use a club card to get the sale prices. EC: How closely do you follow you.

Keeping cool at River Park A youngster takes his turn on an inflatable water slide at River Park Sunda y afternoon. The slide was one of many children’s activities featured as part of a multi- denominational worship service and family barbecue held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday by a number of area churches. Daily News photo by Chip Thompson the E-mealz menu plan and shop- ping list? AB: I follow it as closely as pos- sible. I make substitutions on occa- sion, depending on taste prefer- ences, but so far everything on the list has turned out really well. EC: How does your hus- band feel about these E- mealz you're preparing? AB: He was a little Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate skeptical at first, but now he is thoroughly enjoying the E-mealz menus. Each meal has a main dish and one or two side dishes, so he likes the variety. EC: Would you recom- mend E-mealz for other busy families? AB: Absolutely! I sug- gest trying out a few of the sample menus on http://e- mealz.com to determine which plan works best for
