Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Theft • An employee from Circle K in Red Bluff reported Tuesday receiv- ing several counterfeit $20 bills from the same customer on two different occasions. Collisions • About 11:08 a.m. Tuesday, officers responded to an injury collision on Kimball Road, just west of Mont- gomery Road. Ernest Provence, 77, of Red Bluff was traveling east- bound on Kimball Road and tried to turn left into a private driveway. He did- n’t see a westbound UPS truck which then struck the side of Provence’s pick-up. The driver of the UPS truck, Lo Saephahn, 29, of Redding, was unin- jured. Provence was transported to St. Eliza- beth’s Community Hospi- tal for complaint of pain to his chest and arm. Both vehicles received moder- ate damage and were towed from the scene. • A collision occurred at the corner of Walnut and Jefferson streets at 3:25 p.m. Tuesday involv- ing a grey 1995 Buick and a black 1993 Honda Civic. No injuries were reported. • No one was injured in a vehicle versus big rig collision at 8:10 a.m. Tuesday on northbound Interstate 5, north of Sun- set Road. Colan Tylor, 23, of Gerber was driving north behind James Rolla- son, 68, of Abbotsford, British Columbia. As Tylor approached Rolla- son from behind he failed to notice that the semi was traveling at a slower speed. Tylor tried to avoid a collision by swerving left, but still rear-ended the trailer of Rollason’s semi, causing major dam- age to his vehicle and minor to Rollason’s trail- er. Arrests • Michael William Phillips, 30, of Yucca Val- ley was arrested Tuesday at the Tehama County Jail. He was charged with felony embezzlement by an officer of more than $400. No bail was set. • Deana Martha Mor- ley, 52, of Cottonwood was arrested Tuesday at the jail. She was charged with perjury. Bail was set at $10,000. • John Freedom Dish- mon, 24, of Red Bluff was arrested Tuesday at the Crystal Motel. He was charged with grand theft and probation violation. Bail was set at $25,000. •Patrick Farrell Nor- ton, 54, a Red Bluff tran- sient was arrested Mon- day at the Vineyard Church, 738 Walnut St, on outstanding warrants. He was charged with sec- ond degree burglary and petty theft. Bail was set at $10,000. Lame duck • Update: The duck that was reportedly taken to a wildlife rescue in Anderson was instead taken to Cottonwood. Community Service Offi- cer Clint Weston located an injured mallard duck on Mina Avenue Monday after someone reported dogs chasing a duck a short time earlier. The duck had a broken foot and was transported to the Tehama Wildlife Rescue Center in Cottonwood. Animals • A resident in the 24700 block of Gardiner Ferry Road in Corning reportedly found the head and hide of a pig on his property Tuesday. The animal appeared to have been shot and dressed out and may have been a domestic hog with a red- dish brown hide, the man said. • Three hounds, later returned to their owners, were chasing livestock Tuesday near Highway 99W and Pomona Drive. • A resident in the 19000 block of Terry Road reported that she had shot a dog that killed her goat, but two other dogs had gotten away just after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. • Also on Terry Road, K W I K K U T S Family Hair Salon 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 with coupon $200 REGULAR HAIRCUT off Not good with other offers Reg. $13.95 Expires 3/31/11 three dogs were recovered and taken to a shelter at 11:47 a.m. Burglary • A house was reported burglarized in the 19100 block of Simpson Road. A .22 rifle and other mis- cellaneous items were stolen after a suspect got through a front door. DUI •A Tracy man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influ- ence following a collision at 8:05 p.m. Tuesday at Jellys Ferry Road, west of Oakwood Drive that sent a Red Bluff woman to the hospital. Kevin Duffy, 22, was driving west on Jellys Ferry when he passed a slower moving west- bound vehicle without noticing an on-coming eastbound vehicle, driven by Constance Lourence, 69. Duffy sideswiped Lourence’s vehicle as he moved back into the westbound lane. Lourence was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with minor injuries and Duffy was booked into Tehama County Jail. Both vehi- cles had major damage. Drain maintenance keeps plumber at bay Dear Mary: I have had the good fortune of receiving spa prod- ucts as gifts over the years, which I have used and enjoyed. What is the best "cleanup" for my pipes after using these products, which contain a lot of oil? I am afraid of running up a plumbing bill that would re-stress me out! -- Brenda, Texas Dear Brenda: Once a month, perform this maintenance on all of your home's drains: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain. Carefully follow with 1/2 cup of white vinegar. (It may bubble up, but it is not toxic.) Allow it to sit for a few hours or overnight. In the morning, pour 1 gallon of boiling water down the drain. That should handle any oily, greasy buildup. Dear Mary: Is there really any difference in brands and types of olive oil? -- Oveeda, Florida Dear Oveeda: Olive oil resem- bles wine in terms of production, complexity of taste, and some- times even price. A high-quality olive oil can fetch as high a price as that of a good wine. It all comes down to taste and your personal preference. Unlike wine, however, olive oil does not get better with age. Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil is typically the most expensive because only a small portion of the initial pressing can qualify as "extra-virgin." Common olive oil has an acidity of 3.3 per- cent or less; vir- gin oil has an acidi- ty of 2 percent or less; extra-virgin olive oil has an acidity of no more than 0.8 percent. Dear Mary: What do you think about perma- nent life insurance? An agent is trying to sell me a policy as a retirement option. For $250 a month, he claims that New York Life will offer me a $100,000 life insur- ance policy that grows incrementally with each month's payment. The cash that I put in is avail- able for withdrawal at any time and is supposedly guaranteed to earn 5 percent. Is this too good to be true? -- Ginny, California Dear Ginny: There are two kinds of life insurance: term life insurance, which is relatively cheap, and whole, or "permanent," life insurance, which is very expensive. The sales associate may have grossly misstated the facts by saying your premiums would be available anytime for withdrawal. It is not a savings account, with which you have access to the funds you put in. In fact, there typically is very little, if any, cash value for at least 10 years. Even then, unless you cash it in, you could borrow only a relatively small amount. Personally, I'd stay Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate away from whole life insurance as a retirement investment. If you want to grow $250 a month, you have much better options, in my opinion. Check out Vanguard or another com- pany with which you could open an individual retire- ment account and set up an automatic investment pro- gram. Learn more at http://www.vanguard.com.
