It's the small, seemingly insignificant money leaks, one piled on top of another, day in and day out. How to stop the leaks? Pay attention, get committed to cutting costs and take tips from smart people like today's great readers. CUT COFFEE COST. Even if you prefer your coffee mild, buy the strong variety (each manufacturer offers a range from strong to mild), and just use less. Even if you use only 25 percent less, that's the same as getting 4 pounds for the price of 3. -- Rob, email ALTERNATE COFFEE GRINDER. Here's a great way to make your own coffee grinder. Unscrew the blade assembly from your blender pitcher. Find a small jar that has matching screw threads (small canning jars work great). Fill the small jar with coffee beans, attach the blade, and return it to the blender motor base. The confined space in the small jar keeps the contents close to the blades and makes it grind evenly. Buy whole bean coffee in bulk when it goes on sale, and store it in the freezer until needed. The finer you grind the beans, the less it takes to achieve your desired strength. You can also grind spices in this way to restore their flavor. Use a different jar for each item you grind, and just put the regular lid back on the jar to store leftovers. -Beth, email COLOR SET.

Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Awards dinner and employment fair Innovate North State announced Oct. 30 as the date for the 2nd annual North State Innovation Awards Dinner. The dinner gala will run 6 -9 p.m. in Chico State's Bell Memorial Union ballroom. Sponsors for the dinner are Tri Counties Bank and Recology. For more information and to register for the forum, visit http://innovatenorthstate.com/events/2013 -north-state-innovationawards-and-employmentexpo/. The Innovation Awards nominations period is under way. To submit a nomination, simply send an email to Innovate North State Managing Director Jon Gregory at jon@innovatenorthstate.com identifying the name of the individual, entity or business you are nominating and the award category for nomination. An Awards Selection Committee will make the final decision on the winners. Awards will be presented in multiple categories "Our annual North State Police reports The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Brandon Tyler Gray, 19, Redding was arrested at Dana Drive at Friendly for felony grand theft, theft by a caretaker and misdemeanor fraudulent use of an access card. Bail was $45,000. • Dora Elia Zapata also known by the last name Contreras, 48, Tacoma, Wash. was arrested on southbound Interstate 5 south of Sourgrass Road for felony possession of money from the sale of a controlled substance. Bail was $15,000. Awards Dinner represents a 'once a year' must-attend gala event honoring the tremendous innovation occurring throughout the North State (from Davis and Truckee in the south to the Oregon border in the north)," said Steve Gonsalves, chairman. "Attendees, nominees and awardees are from gamechanging companies ranging in size from the earliest stage start-ups to the largest corporations in the North State, along with representatives from government and education who are focused on fostering an environment conducive to innovation." In a compelling twist, for the first time Innovate North State will be coupling the dinner with the '530' region's first Business and Employment Expo, 1-4:30 p.m. The Expo fills a major unmet need in the region. According to Innovate North State Managing Director Jon Gregory, "After canvassing the region's event landscape, we found there currently is no singular region-wide function throughout the 530 area code that brings together both employers seeking talent and job seekers seeking employment opportunities," Gregory said. "It was only natural to attach an Expo of this kind to our annual North State Innovation Awards dinner considering it already attracts many of the region's best employers -- many of whom are in growth mode and seeking qualified people." The expo will provide an easy, affordable way for businesses in the region to receive maximum exposure in front of hundreds of potential customers, strategic partners and employees, as well as, learn what goods and services are available to support the North State business community. Those seeking employment or are interested in new career opportunities are encouraged to attend and bring a resume. They will be able to meet with a variety of regional, national and inter- national companies that are currently looking to fill new and existing positions. Businesses interested in purchasing an exhibit table or making a presentation should write to Jack Coots at jack@innovate-northstate.com or or Justin Miller at Justin@innovate-northstate.com. Special mini workshops will be presented on highly relevant topics for both employers and those looking for jobs. A special Game Changer Employment Outlook will feature CEOs of growth companies in the 530 region sharing their perspectives on talent needs for their high growth companies. A Taste of the 530 networking reception will follow the Employment Expo and take place in the Atrium at Chico State's Bell Memorial Union. Vendors will provide food, wine, and beer tasting 5-6 p.m. prior to the dinner gala. Doors for the Awards Dinner open at 6 p.m. Dinner tickets are $95 and include the reception and employment expo. reported a suspicious person that was holding a gas can and had the hood of his vehicle up.
