She's be- come a local icon, popping up on TV the minute we start to rock and roll, keep- ing us cool, calm and col- lected. While we have hundreds of small quakes every day, now and then we can actu- ally feel one. That's when my mind naturally moves to thoughts of disaster pre- paredness. Now I'm not talk- ing weird or paranoid kind of "prepper" stuff -- just the ba- sic, commonsense quick list of things every family needs to have on hand. It's good to be prepared because it offers peace of mind and a sense of calm. Below is a list of basic emergency items. Use it to re- view your family's level of prepared- ness. If you come up lacking, start right now to get things in order. I can tell you from experience that being pre- pared brings with it a level of calmness and assurance that will help you think more clearly when disaster pays a visit, and sleep bet- ter, too. 1. Water. One gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation. This is your most impor- tant consideration on this list. You can live without a lot of things, but water is not one of them. It takes only one quart of water or other fluid to sustain life, but not happily. Drinking water should be stored out of direct sun- light in clean, non-corro- sive, tightly covered con- tainers. Stored water should be rotated every 6 months; prepackaged bot- tled water should be ro- tated once a year. Because disasters can result in contaminated wa- ter, you need a water purifi- cation product in your sup- ply as well. 2. Food. At least a three- day supply of non-perish- able food 3. Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batter- ies for both 4. Flashlight and extra batteries 5. First aid kit 6. Whistle to signal for help 7. Moist towelettes, gar- bage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation. 8. Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities 9. Manual can opener for food 10. Cell phone with char- gers, inverter or solar char- ger For information about specific products men- tioned, visit www.everyday- cheapskate.com/prepared. There is no shortage of ex- cellent disaster prepared- ness information avail- able to you on the Internet. Do a search that is spe- cific to your area, and then take what you learn seri- ously. It's never too soon to get prepared, but never too late, either, provided you start now. WritetoEverydayCheap- skate, P.O. Box 2099, Cy- press, CA 90630. EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE Earthquakes:Howtobeprepared,notscared Mary Hunt COURTESY PHOTO Pictured are students from Manton School who performed recently for residents at Red Bluff Health Care Center. Young musicians pre- sented their debut perfor- mance May 23 to the delight of residents and guests at Red Bluff Health Care Cen- ter. More than a dozen stu- dents from the Manton mu- sic program, who call them- selves Manton Bluegrass Kids, ranging from age 8 to 14 have been learning to sing and play a variety of musi- cal instruments. The group is under the direction of several teachers, including 15 year-old Matthew Song- maker who teaches violin and mandolin, Lloyd Raeg, banjo and guitar and Patti Anglin, instructing in vo- cals and guitar. The one-hour presenta- tion began with an old blue- grass song titled, "Boil Them Cabbages Down," which in- cluded a number of violin and vocal solos. Nine-year-old Bailey Fer- guson has been in the pro- gram for three years, she said her favorite part of the event was making people happy. Many of the residents ex- pressed delight in the pro- duction and a desire for the Manton Bluegrass Kids to return soon for another per- formance. "These wonderful stu- dents have worked hard to prepare for this event," An- glin said, "They will also be performing at 'Bluegrass on the Mountain', June 7 at Ce- dar Crest Vineyards in Man- ton." Manton Bluegrass kids present debut performance CONCERT The Tehama County De- partment of Social Services - Adult Protective Services is commemorating World El- der Abuse Awareness Day, June 15, by raising aware- ness of what abuse, neglect and exploitation are, and how you can help prevent the elderly from experienc- ing this trauma. This year's theme is "One person. Once action. One Nation. United against el- der abuse." Every day 10,000 people turn 65 in the US alone and because of the baby boomer generation this trend will continue for the next 20 years. Soon there will be more elderly people in the US than ever before. At the same time the population is growing, a startling number of elders face abusive condi- tions. Every year an estimated 1 in 10 older Americans are victims of elder abuse, ne- glect or exploitation, and for every case that is reported, it is believe that 23 go unre- ported. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day serves as a call-to-action for individu- als, organizations, and com- munities to raise awareness about abuse, neglect and ex- ploitation of elders. Abuse comes in many forms: Ne- glect, financial abuse or ex- ploitation, psychological or emotional abuse, physical or sexual abuse or abandon- ment. Elder abuse can occur anywhere, and it affects all socio-economic groups, cul- tures, and races. If you suspect elderly abuse, neglect or exploita- tion, report this to Adult Protective Services at 530- 528-4077, 530-528-4052, or call 911.

TO DO Shasta Dam tours have started for summer season Why I support HARLEY NORTH for Tehama County Superintendent of Schools Paid Political Advertisement As a former student of the Evergreen Union School District and a long time family friend, I have experienced and witnessed Harley's leadership first hand. Harley set and sustained new standards for the north state and never lost sight of the needs of students in the process. His 28 years as the superintendent in the same district speaks volumes regarding his values. I am also a graduate of Red Bluff High School and was never encouraged to attend any other high school. Join me in voting Harley North on June 3rd. Joe Vine Servicing your disposal needs in Tehama County, and the City of Red Bluff including Residential, Commercial, and Temporary bin services.
