My stuff is all highly desirable and very useful. And I plan to use all of it. Someday. Soon. I was born with a propensity to be a pack rat. I don't know where that came from, and quite frankly, it doesn't matter. I have the problem, and I'm learning to deal with it. And I'm happy to say I've made excellent progress. But this did not happen until I was willing to admit to the high cost of clutter in my life. Disorder creates distractions and confusion. Clutter costs us time, money and, for some, jobs. I have a theory that most of us would be more than willing to let go of the stuff that's cluttering our homes if we knew these things would serve a worthwhile cause or help someone else. With that in mind, here are those worthwhile causes for your seven biggest clutter problems: 1. Vases, baskets, containers and anything else that held flowers you The following defen- dants were sentenced in Tehama County Superior Court, according to the Tehama County District Attorney’s Office: —————— Recent State Prison Commitments: • Patrick Michael Lee was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for assault with a semiautomatic firearm, special allegation- prior felony, first degree residential robbery. Lee went to the victim’s residence and hung out for a few hours before leaving. Lee returned to victim’s house hours later, pulled out a gun and pointed it at victim’s head. As the vic- tim tried to push the gun barrel aside a shot went off leaving a hole in the ceiling. Lee grabbed some marijua- na from the residence and fled the scene. • Thomas James Pittman was sentenced to four years in state prison for posses- sion of a controlled sub- stance, special allegation- prior felony, possession of marijuana 28.5 grams or less. Pittman was on active parole and had warrants for his arrest when he was con- tacted by a deputy who rec- ognized him from previous contacts. While conducting a pat down search the deputy located a folding knife, marijuana and methamphetamine in Pittman’s pockets. • Worthy Don Stephens was sentenced to 32 months in state prison for fFailure to update registration annu- ally. Stephens is a registered sex offender and failed to register within five days of his birthday. • Jacob Gerald Cook was sentenced to two years in state prison for grand theft person. Cook and victim got into an argument which escalat- ed into a fight. Cook ended up holding a knife to vic- tim’s throat and then stole a wallet and watch from vic- tim. • Travis Wayne Sams was sentenced to two years in state prison for receiving stolen property. Deputies responded to a have received. If they're cracked or broken, no one wants them. But those in like-new condition? Take to the closest flower shop to be recycled. 2. Excess dish- es. If you do not use them at least once each year, sell them to an antique dealer or give them to a local thrift shop or the church's annual rummage sale. 3. Pots and pans. Offer them to family members, take them to the thrift shop or see if your church kitchen or camp could use some decent cookware. 4. Clothing. Can't bring yourself to dump your good clothes into a collec- tion bin? Find an organiza- tion with specific needs. Crisis pregnancy homes, battered women's shelters and drug rehab centers are just a few of the places that will be so grateful to get gently-used clothing that their clients can wear to job interviews.

In the event the defendant violates a non- drug related term of proba- tion the court may then elect to sentence defendant to jail or prison. The Tehama County District Attorney’s Office contends that each criminal case is unique and that in certain, specific, cases a defendant should be sen- tenced to a combination of drug treatment and jail time. We further contend that in other specific cases where a defendant has an extensive criminal record and/or a his- tory of non-compliance with either previous grants of probation or previous grants of drug treatment, a state prison sentence should properly be imposed. • Bart Dwayne Craig was sentenced to Prop. 36 probation for (NCR78440); HS11352(a)-Transporta- tion of a Controlled Sub- stance.
