The Red Bluff Roller Derby Girls will be hosting the Toughest Crawl in Town 7 p.m. to midnight Wednes- day, Sept. 3. The event will kick off at Enjoy the Store at 7 p.m. and move to the Palomino Room at 8 p.m., Firehouse Pizza at 9 p.m., Round-Up Saloon at 10 p.m. and Tips at 11 p.m. There will be a T-shirt de- sign competition in which participants can create their own derby name and number and put them on the back of a shirt. Tickets are available at any of the participat- ing venues for $20 and in- clude a T-shirt design com- petition and prizes, a crawl Survival Kit, which includes festive items needed to sur- vive as a roller derby partic- ipant, four drink tickets and food specials at half time. There will also be raffles and drink specials. The event provides a chance to meet the girls, find out what they are about and learn about the things they do for the com- munity. FUNDRAISER To ug h en ou gh t o cr aw l? Can you spot a govern- ment imposter? Even if your phone's caller ID says "FTC" or "IRS," or shows Washing- ton, DC's 202 area code, it could still be a scam. Scam- mers know how to show fake information on caller ID. The Federal Trade Com- mission is warning consum- ers about scammers who pretend they're with the government to scare you into sending money. They say you owe taxes or some other debt, and tell you to put money on a prepaid debit card and tell them the number — something no government agency would ask you to do. Others say you've won big money in a sweepstakes the FTC or some other agency is supervising, and that the money will be yours when you pay for shipping, taxes, or some other expense. But it's just phony baloney. Fed- eral government agencies will never ask you to send money for prizes. To learn more about how these scams work and how to avoid them, read the FTC's consumer blog posts "Can you spot a government imposter?" and "Government Impos- ter Scams." The Federal Trade Com- mission works for consum- ers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair busi- ness practices and to pro- vide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in Eng- lish or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC- HELP (1-877-382-4357). SCAM ALERT FTC warns against imposter scams The Sacramento River Discovery Center had a busy and successful sum- mer season thanks to the assistance of the members of the Red Bluff Commu- nity. The Discovery Center was visited by many long term local residents who did not realize that there was a Mendocino National Forest's Red Bluff Recre- ation Area at the end of Sale Lane for use by all community members. The grounds of the RBRA are not their usual green color this summer because of the drought and well problems, but the large trees still provided shade and the trails still al- lowed people to walk them- selves or their dogs. The SRDC Summer Camps program provided environmental education to the largest number of students ever. The five weeks of camps for those 6 to 12, and one week for those 10 to 14, pro- vided the students a vari- ety of experiences thanks to the financial support of corporate organizations such as Pacific Gas & Elec- tric Co., Rolling Hills Ca- sino and Union Pacific Foundation. Donations from Ex- change Club, Red Bluff Ki- wanis, Soroptimist Inter- national of Red Bluff and individuals provided stu- dent scholarship support. Aaron's furniture provided bottled water for all activi- ties and there were numer- ous volunteers who pro- vided physical and moral support to Zach Whitten, camp director, and aides Amanda Myers and Rocky Rodriquez. The camp themes and hands on activities pro- vided a fun learning ex- perience for 175 students. Sears and Aaron's donated large pieces of cardboard that built a 12-foot-tall gi- raffe this year. Camp photos are posted on www.srdc.tehama.k12. ca.us. The plants of the Dis- covery Center are surviv- ing the drought thanks to the US Forest Service permission to use spe- cial water for the garden area. The SRDC continues to improve the two acre Discovery Garden with a mulching program to help conserve water by reduc- ing soil evaporation. Large pieces of cardboard cover the ground and then 3-6 inches of wood chips are placed on top of the card- board. The wood chips con- tinue to be provided by Davey Tree Service and cardboard has been do- nated by Furniture Depot and Aaron's. The SRDC continues to need volunteers to help with spreading the mulch. The plans include addition of more of the timed under- ground water system to be installed by Oct. 1. The Fall Fest Plant Sale is set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 1. This year we are adding seed packets of wildflow- ers that have been grown in and around the Discover garden. The garden will con- tinue to introduce people to native drought tolerant plants that have previously been found in this part of California. It is being planted with plants to attract butter- flies, pollinators and ani- mals back to this area and reduce the number of inva- sive plant species living in the county. There is a fox fam- ily living near the gar- den and some Canadian geese are regular garden visitors. Environmental educa- tion programming is avail- able, by appointment, for all ages. To learn more about the variety of programs avail- able or to become a vol- unteer to help teach oth- ers, call the center at 527- 1196. Propagation classes will be offered in late Sep- tember. The SRDC Thursday Evening program series will resume at 7 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Farm Bu- reau building, 275 Sale Lane. Allan Fulton, UC Irriga- tion and Water Resources Farm Advisor for Tehama, Glenn, Colusa and Shasta counties will be the pre- senter. Fulton will provide information about the unique Antelope Ground- water Sub-basin. This will be the final presen- tation in the water series for 2014. The SRDC 2015 Mem- bership Drive will have its kickoff event at the State Theatre 6-9 p.m. Satur- day, Nov. 1. The evening will feature a series of wild and scenic films, a silent auction and prizes. Watch for informa- tion in the Daily News and on Facebook. The center is at 1000 Sale Lane and hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
