Operating with the Adult Felon Drug Court Pro- gram, deputies from the sheriff’s and probation offices searched a resident in the program on Byron Avenue. While there, deputies also searched Thompson and Procari- one, who are not in the drug court program. Thompson was report- edly found with hydrocodone pills he had no legal right to possess. Deputies also found less than a gram of crystal methamphetamine on Procarione. Both men had marijuana as well. Thompson and Procari- one were charged with possession of a narcotic controlled substance. Bail was set at $15,000 each. Animals • A couple reported Wednesday that they’d bought a boat and found several wild kittens inside in the 20500 block of Vin- tage Drive. The husband was bitten trying to get them out. A bite report was taken. Vandalism • Sprinkler equipment was reported vandalized Wednesday in an orchard off Barham and Viola avenues near Corning. The sprinkler piping and sprinklers will cost about $300 to replace. Theft • A scooter was report- ed stolen Wednesday in the 800 block of Kimball Road. The scooter, a sil- ver Currie Technology worth $350, was taken from a front porch between 1 and 4 p.m. • A purse was snatched Wednesday from a shop- ping cart inside Wal-Mart. No further information was available. • When out on a call about a disruptive man, a vendor flagged down the officer about a purse that was stolen. The brown, homemade purse was for sale at the farmers market and was worth $60. • A blue and silver Mongoose BMX bicycle was reported stolen Wednesday from outside the Shepherd’s House of Prayer, 601 Monroe St. The bicycle, valued at $100, was taken between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Odd • A Hispanic man wearing a blue hoodie sweatshirt with “Siskiy- ou” written on it caught the attention of people during the Wednesday evening farmers market at Washington and Oak streets. First, around 6 p.m., a person called police about the man yelling at himself and vehicles but officers were unable to find him when they arrived. Almost two hours later, a caller report- ed seeing the same man in front of a residence where he appeared intoxicated. However, officers deter- mined that he was not under the influence. • Also at the farmers market, someone reported finding a metal smoking pipe on the grass near where the band played. At first, officers couldn’t find the person reporting it or the pipe. However, about two hours later, officers found a metal pipe and some lost wallets at the market. The pipe was marked for destruction and officers tried to con- tact the owners of the wal- lets.

July 31, 2011) Shucking corn prices It is undeniably a summer favorite and prices are rising. Unraveling those green husks to reveal a brilliant yellow, golden treat is a welcome sight to any budget at prices like four ears of corn for a dollar. These unbeatable deals make corn the perfect veg- etable to grill as a side to any dinner. Rainy days threaten to make these bargains a thing of the past with smaller crop yields expected for next year. A wet spring will likely cut the size of this fall’s corn harvest mak- ing prices high through 2012. Futures prices are expected to rise by 10 to 20 cents a bushel because of the shorter supply. However, the corn prices dropped last week fol- lowing the previous week’s all-time high prices. Corn is enjoyed in more ways than on the cob and is present in a variety of foods as cornstarch or corn syrup. Here is a list of foods that have corn as one of its ingredi- ents. • Yoplait yogurt • Wheat bread • Soft drinks — Coke • Condiments — mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup • Instant coffee and tea • Candy bars — Twix • Peanut Butter • Cereal- Special K • Tortillas • Flour The harvest shortfall won’t just affect your plate. Cornstarch and processed corncobs are used in most of these products during the manufacturing stage. Here’s a list of other non-edible things that con- tain corn. • Tires • Cosmetics • Fertilizer • Toothpaste • Spark plugs • Antibiotics • Paint • Paper plates and cups • Insecticides • Disposable diapers Whatever the cost of this sum- mer staple crop, one thing is cer- tain: there is a corn in just about everything. Since there are such a variety of uses for corn, its demand does not seem to be slowing down. Savor the cheaper kernels while you can. Store, fuel stop, car wash holds grand opening
