However, there is much more work to be done to achieve the goals of local businesses and individuals wanting to increase tourism in Tehama County. "The recent Dog Island clean up made trails accessible for several community events including the Thursday Night Free Walk/Run, where local participants can either run or walk the full 5k loop or the 1/2 k route," said Tiffany Gunsauls, one of the organizers. "It is events such as this that drive the Cleaner Greener Red Bluff efforts." Cleaner Greener Red Bluff (CGRB) is a completely volunteer effort with hundreds of local residents pitching in. Gunsauls, Anne Keeler and Sean Rix make up the steering committee. "It is a pleasure to go through all the leg work to intensely plan each clean up event because we know we have the community's support behind us," said Gun- Police reports The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

Will I be eligible for Social Security benefits? -- Emily, Oregon Dear Emily: If you are married, you will be eligible. Your Social Security retirement benefits are tied to your husband's. You can file when he does, provided you're at least 62 at that time. Your monthly check will be equal to 50 percent of his, if he waits until "full retirement age" to begin collecting benefits (65, 66 or 67 depending on the year he was born). If he opts to begin drawing early at 62, then your benefit will be reduced to 37.5 percent of his monthly check. (If you're now single, divorced or widowed, the amounts vary.) We're not talking a lot of money here under the very best of circumstances, so plan on it as a supplement, not enough to live on. To get help, go to the Social Security Administration website, SSA.gov, and check out the FAQs. This site is remarkably user-friendly.

The clean-up efforts were made possible in part by donations by local individuals and businesses. To make it easier to solicit donations for clean-up efforts, the group is working towards becoming a non-profit organization. According to Gunsauls, there have been a growing number of beautification efforts throughout the county since the Red Bluff cleanup in September that was attended by 300 people. "Groups of community members are getting together and cleaning up their own neighborhood," Gunsauls said. "It is amazing. The enthusiasm for beautification in the area keeps growing." One of the newest developments for CGRB is a partnership with the probation department. "We will manage probation crews in early morning downtown cleanups on a weekly basis," said Gunsauls. "The cleanups will include sprucing up alleys and cleaning all gum on the sidewalks." This is great news for the businesses and individuals involved in the Tehama County Branding project. "Beautification efforts enhance tourism and boost economic development," said Kathryn Sarmiento, CEO of the Job Training Center and member of the Tehama County Branding Project. "Projects such as the Cleaner Greener Red Bluff events are vital to the county's ability to attract tourists and make the area a better place to live and work. We applaud the community's support for the cleanups." Many residents believe that the clean ups alone are not enough to improve local landmarks. In his Daily News column on Aug. 27, Richard Mazzucchi lamented the decline of the Red Bluff River Park, calling it an eyesore to visitors and residents alike. Mazzucchi points out that more needs to be done to revitalize the park as well as mitigate the impacts of the diversion dam removal. Mazzucchi and other residents formed the Tehama Action Team to address these issues. Members of the Tehama County Branding Team and those involved with Cleaner Greener Red Bluff agree with Mazzucchi's assessment and see his organization's efforts as complimentary to their goals. "Mazzucchi is right, more needs to be done if we are to deliver on our promise as a tourist destination," said Kristen Behrens, Branding Project team leader. "It's encouraging to see enthusiasm from so many groups and individuals to clean up and improve our local communities. There truly is a movement throughout Tehama County to make it a better place for both tourists and residents. That is exciting." The next CGRB cleanup is scheduled for Sept. 20 to prepare for the Beef 'N Brew event. "We want to make sure that everyone who travels to Red Bluff for the event has a great impression of our downtown jewel," said Gunsauls.
