Meganumber: 24. RAIN Continued from page 1A Benjamin said. Despite the rain, no flooding or related problems have been reported, though the California Highway Patrol reported an increase in crashes in the San Fran- cisco Bay area early Satur- Something for nothing I couldn't pass it up. And I mean that quite literally. Dumped right in the middle of my secret shortcut, I had two choices: Hit it head-on, or stop to investi- gate. Closer examination revealed a unique piece of furni- ture -- a solid wood, five-drawer, dresser-wardrobe. It was nearly intact. It would need a little work, but it had definite possibilities. I checked with the closest shop owner to make sure this was indeed part of an inappropriate middle-of-the- night rubbish dump. She confirmed and thanked me for taking it. I was more than willing. After all, even in its needy condition, it was free ... something for nothing. Had this item appeared with a price tag in the classified ads or at a garage sale, would I have been so eager? Not likely. It wasn't on my list of needs, even my wants. But free? Hey, that's different. I'll take it, no questions. Don't we believe that free means we get something for nothing? If it's free, it must be good. With all our hearts we believe that free means, well, free. But we shouldn't. Free is rarely what we assume it should be. Many times it's just a marketing technique -- the bait attached to a serious hook. But free Jimmy Edwards Jimmy Edwards of Corning died Saturday, June 4, 2011 in Chico, Calif. He was 79. Brusie Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. No services are planned. Published Monday, June 6, 2011 in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. CLASS Continued from page 1A makers and screams of “Woo!” and “Yeah” came down from the bleachers and from different spots in the crowds on the ground. Hundreds of guests stood trying to peek and squint through the crowd to get a glimpse of gradu- ates or speakers. Many carried bouquets of flow- ers, gift bags and handfuls of balloons that shim- mered beneath the stadi- um lights. A few balloons escaped and disappeared slowly into the darkened skies above. Rain began to sprinkle just as the last dozen or so names were being called. Family and friends emptied the bleachers to meet all the graduates on the field as the band played its last song. Shouts of “Class of 2011” and “Yay graduates” rip- pled through the crowd as the ceremony ended. gets our attention. Free gets results. Free sells. Free has appeal. Before we accept anything for free, we should assess the real cost. Price Tag: A Purchase. The deal is that you get a "Free Gift," but only if you make a purchase. That technically removes the free-ness. As long as you understand that, you will get something extra with your purchase. Price Tag: Privacy. The concept is you get something free in exchange for your private information. Or you get a chance to win something in exchange for your information. So what's wrong with that? Noth- ing, provided you are aware and willing to release that information. Price Tag: Repair. Remember my free dresser-wardrobe? It really was- n't free. I spent money on new draw- er pulls and stain, and a couple hours of my time. By the time it's pre- sentable, I will have spent about $50. But all things considered, it's still a fabulous bargain and a piece I adore because it has a story. Death Notice Price Tag: Maintenance. If you've Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ever been drawn to "Free Puppies," you know about this price tag. The costs for medical exams and shots, neutering and licensing can quickly add up. Even pets from the pound are anything but free. A free pet is not free. Con- sider the costs before you become attached. Price Tag: Hidden costs. I just might lose it if I get one more email message offering me a free copy of my credit report. The hidden costs are buried. Unless it's from AnnualCreditReport.com, it's not free. The next time free jumps out at you, pay attention. Don't fall for it before you check the price tag. If you find it's too expensive, walk away. But if it's something reasonable, load it into your truck and drive it home.

CHURCH Continued from page 1A In the works for more than a year, the event celebrated the long his- tory of the church and its members. Members led guests on tours that showed the many stained glass win- dows and newspaper clippings associated with the people whose names are on the win- dows. In the church base- ment, guests and mem- bers could look at some 15 tables of photographs showing weddings, mis- sion projects, ministries, and pictures of the building through the years. There was also a handwritten record book that dated back to the beginning of the church. The original church was established July 21, 1860. Bruce Johnston of Gerber has been a mem- ber of the church since his Baptist church closed down in Gerber in 2004. Already famil- iar with the Red Bluff church, he and his wife Carol were married in the church in 1959. He is now on the board. The 150th year cele- bration event involved many trips to the county library archives to col- lect historic articles and research, he said. “We feel blessed to Daily News photo by Rich Greene The first balloon launches Sunday morning, as the crowd sang the National Anthem. day. Dispatchers weren’t sure if the accidents could be blamed on slick roadways. In the mountains, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the Sierra Nevada. As much as 7 inches of snow was expected to fall in the higher elevations of the Sierra from Saturday through Sunday, forecasters said. Body of missing diver found in Mendocino County FORT BRAGG (AP) — Authorities have recovered the body of a Los Angeles man who disappeared while diving for abalone off a remote stretch of the Northern California coast. Mendocino County authorities say the body of William Kim was found Saturday during a search by friends and rel- atives on a beach south of Fort Bragg. The 37-year-old Kim disappeared May 28 when he and another diver became caught in rough surf. The other diver was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard, but rescuers could not find Kim. A third diver made it safe- ly to shore. Authorities say Kim’s body found about 100 yards from where he was last seen. He and the other divers have been described by authori- ties as ‘‘very experienced divers.’’ The exact cause of Kim’s death is pending autopsy results. have this to show peo- ple,” Johnston said. The event also fea- tured community booths and the Red Bluff Com- munity Band that enter- tained in the street out- side. Members offered free hot dogs, popcorn, cookies and bottled water. Games were available for children. However, rain ham- pered large crowds from gathering. They thought they’d pick a date that would have good weather, Johnston laughed. They had arranged to give away cold bottled water for the warm weather typical to June. The celebration con- tinued otherwise as planned. Even in the rain, a booth put togeth- er by P.E.T.S., Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter, a new animal- saving group in the county, saw several dogs get adopted Saturday. Inside the main audi- torium of the church, several musicians played the grand piano through- out the day for anyone who wanted to stop in and listen or sing along. Page took his turn at the piano late in the afternoon after he and his family made a visit to the cemetery to see the Carroll plot. Joining him for the weekend were William Hubert Page, 63, and Christian Page, 23, both of Kailua, Hawaii, and Carol Wright, 65, of Graham, Wash. They all made a special trip to Red Bluff for the celebration. A pamphlet describ- ing the detailed history of the building and its members talks about the survival of the church even though its member- ship even dwindled to three at one point. “Over the years there have been many changes in not only the buildings themselves, but the membership as well,” the pamphlet reads. “We believe God has a pur- pose for His community to give Him the glory.” It concludes with a detailed list and pho- tographs of all the pas- tors that have served the church over the years. The event gave the church a chance to put its best foot forward, Johnston said. For more information about the church or its history, contact Pastor Bruce Cloutier at 200- 4441.
