ReadeR photo Ex press Employ ment Professionals of Red Bluff is hosting the 2014 Refresh Leadership Simulcast, a na - tionwide leadership event featuring co-founder and co- CEO of Whole Foods Mar- ket John Mackey; legend- ary sportscaster and former basketball coach Dick Vitale, and professional speaker and expert on handling con - f lict and stress Christine Cashen. Scheduled for Wednes- day, April 16, the Refresh Leadership Simulcast will be broadcast at the Shasta College Tehama Campus. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and the simulcast be - gins at 9 a.m. Business leaders, human resou rce profes siona ls , chamber of commerce offi - cials and chamber members can register at RefreshLead- ership.com/Live or call the local Express office at 527- 0727. There is no cost to at- tend. "Express is proud to present this exciting oppor- tunity for business leaders from throughout our com- munity," said Lisa Hansen, Red Bluff Express franchi- see. "We know poor leader- ship is the No. 1 reason why people leave companies, so we're offering support to businesses with a focused day of learning about great leadership." Refresh Leadership Live speakers will discuss what they believe makes great leaders and what they've learned throughout their professional careers about th e im po rt an ce o f de ve lo p - ing those skills. A strong believer in free market principles, Mackey also co-founded the Con - scious Capitalism Movement to challenge business leaders to rethink why their organi- zations exist and to acknowl- edge their roles in the global marketplace. Presenting on Conscious Leadership, Mackey will share how leaders can de - velop personally while grow- ing their employees and the company itself. Vitale's ex- perience and enthusiasm for the game of basketball are unparalleled and his "Vi- tale-isms," like "Awesome, baby!" and "diaper dandy" have taken on a life of their own. With humor and opti - mism, Vitale's presentation, The Game of Life, will share lessons he has learned from sports for addressing the problems of life. As companies are forced to do more with less these days – fewer staff, declining resources, and 40 hours of stuff to do in a 24-hour day can really wear one down. In her topic, Stop Global Whining!, Cashen will share the secret to getting what you want with what you've got to make a difference in the workplace and in life. The Refresh Leadership Simulcast is in its fifth year and will be broadcast to more than 175 locations. "Express has a strong presence in Tehama County and we are pleased to offer Refresh Leadership Live as a way to give back to the busi - ness community," said Han- sen. FRee tRaining Simulcast to feature leadership experts Toy bucket Use a large plas- tic bucket to store children's plastic toys. Drill several drainage holes in the bottom of the bucket, and you can wash the toys in the bathtub or outdoors with the hose when the kids are finished playing. Extra cash If you get paid every two weeks, you have prob- ably settled into living on that same amount each month. And you know that twice a year you receive a third paycheck in a month. Since you live within your means on two paychecks, the other 10 months, plan to use these two "extra paychecks" to boost your savings account, fund your holiday shopping or get a jump on a college fund. Free help Many credit unions of- fer counseling to mem- bers, and it's absolutely free and not reported to the credit bureaus. Check that out before consider - ing other types of credit counseling if you are a member of a credit union. Measure n' save You may be using too much detergent when you do the laundry. Read the box to determine the amount of de - tergent recom- mended. You might find that the manufac- turer's plastic cup holds almost twice the recommended amount. When the cup is filled, the box will hardly wash half the number of loads indi - cated in the directions. Instead, replace the cup included in the box with your own 1/3 cup dry measuring cup. Now you'll get twice as many loads per box of detergent as before. This for that Have a craving for yo- gurt? Don't sweat it. Cot- tage cheese blended un- til smooth makes an excel- lent cup-for-cup substitute for plain yogurt. Army trick After polishing and buff- ing white tennis shoes, use an old Army trick and spray them lightly with shellac. They keep a nice, polished look for a while and wipe clean easily.

This program is specif - ically designed to replace on-road heavy-duty trucks specific to the replacement of logging trucks.

In order to be eligible for funding, fleet owners will be required to have selected the compliance option Logging Truck phase-in option on the State Truck Reporting sys - tem (TRUCRS) prior to Jan. 31. The operator will have to be in compliance throughout the voucher term. The District will start accepting applications on Thursday, April 10.
