For a high-school grad, it's col- lege. For a college grad, it's a job, an apartment or grad school. The next step may be pulling long hours preparing for a state bar exam or taking a trip abroad. Select a gift that addresses that next step. 1) Prepaid anything. Your grad is sure to love anything that already is paid for. A gift card for movie tick- ets, gasoline, groceries, fast food, Walmart, Starbucks or Ikea, curren- cy of the country he or she will be visiting -- let your mind go wild. 2) Books. A reasonably priced gift can be found in the reference books aisle of any bookstore. Books every college-bound graduate needs include The Elements of Style, On Writing Well, Gray's Anatomy, The Associated Press Stylebook, The Chicago Manual of Style, and Writ- ing Research Papers: A Complete Guide. A good dictionary and the- saurus are great ideas, too. And don't forget textbooks. You can't buy them for the graduate, but a gift card to Amazon.com or another online bookstore could really help with textbook costs. 3) Laundry kit. Make or pur- chase a fabric laundry bag that you can personalize with the graduate's name or initials. Fill it with laundry 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. Arrests • Kelly Francis Caha- lan, 45, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop on Highway 99W at Tyler Road. Tehama County Sheriff’s Deputies contacted the driver, Cahalan. A zip- lock bag with 0.5 grams of crystal methampheta- mine was found discarded on the driver’s seat where Cahalan had been seated. A search of the vehicle turned up another zip- lock bag with 0.6 grams of crystal methampheta- mine on the driver’s side floorboard and other evi- dence that suggested the methamphetamine was possesed for the purpose of sales. Cahalan was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of transportation and pos- session for sale of methamphetamine. Bail was $30,000. • Robert Guy Hill, 24, of Chico was arrested Thursday on Edith Avenue and Short Drive.

Crashes • An Elk Grove man was flown to Mercy Med- ical Center in Redding for moderate injuries follow- ing an ATV crash at 8 a.m. Saturday on private property on the R-Wild Horse Ranch, south of Highway 36W. Edward Arroyo, 44, was driving down a steep, descending dirt and gravel detergent, softener, stain treatment and a laundry "how-to" guide you've written yourself, found online or purchased in a bookstore. Top it all off with a roll or two of quarters for use in the coin laundry. 4) Bucket of stuff. Get a small bucket and write on the side, "Buck- et of Stuff." Fill it with all kinds of stuff the graduate is going to need in his or her new phase of life in a dorm or an apart- ment. Ramen noodles, box of macaroni and cheese and other small pantry items. High- lighters, paper clips, washcloths, stamps, stickers, envelopes, bat- teries, shampoo, condi- tioner, bar soap, pens, pencils and so on. Get crazy. Use lots of ribbons and brightly colored paper. Add a card and you're good to go. 5) Kitchen starter set. Buy a large kitchen mitt and fill it with kitchen utensils from the dollar store. And don't forget to throw in a favorite recipe or two and a cook- book to match the graduate's kitchen expertise. 6) Monogrammed towels. We have insider information at DPL trail at speeds of 5 to 10 mph when due to his unsafe speed the ATV overturned, throwing Arroyo onto the trail.

In fact, mono- grammed anything is helpful when the graduate has roommates. 7) Phone card. Free phone minutes tucked into a greeting card would be welcomed by any graduate. The best places to buy phone cards are dollar stores and warehouse dis- count clubs. 8) Bus, subway or train Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate tokens. Give tickets for the mode of transportation the grad will be using. Or splurge on an open airline ticket between school and home cities. 9) Money. Go ahead; it's OK. When it comes to gift- ing a graduate, cash is never impersonal or inappropriate. I'm sure every grad reading this is thanking me for setting the record straight.
