A team of scientists has found that fast food and sit-down restaurants understate the number of calories in their menu items. The average discrepan- cy was 134 calories per menu item, and some items were off by as much as 225 calories. Talk about a slippery noodle. If a body ate out 15 times, dining on dishes that packed 225 more calo- ries than the body thought, that body could be in the rears, literally, an entire pound. If restaurants aren't honest about calorie counts, you have to wonder what else they are fudging about. What if the Coke machine is really dispensing Pepsi? The husband says I am overre- acting, that there's no use in crying over spilled milk and I should just accept that this is the way the cook- ie crumbles. I can't. When the menu says a cranberry pecan chicken salad with pecans has 800 calories, but really packs more than 1,100, it makes you wonder about a lot of things. Has KFC been honest about the 11 secret herbs and spices? Helpful changes are coming to Medicare and premiums for Part D are not expected to rise next year. “Medicare beneficiaries were able to save $641 mil- lion on prescription drugs this past year,” said Natasha Coulter-La Torre, community outreach spe- cialist for HICAP a pro- gram of Passages. This was due in part to the Affordable Care Act. Understanding the application process, paper- work, enrollment deadlines and other ins and outs of applying for Medicare can be overwhelming. There seem to be no end of ques- tions. Do I really need a Medicare Part D prescrip- tion plan? Are there pro- grams available to lower my Medicare health and prescription costs? Is it true 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 • A boy, about 15 years old, was reported fleeing Walmart Thursday after- noon after taking an iPod alarm and speaker box. Officers chased him on foot near the railroad tracks behind Big 5 Sport- ing Goods then toward Diamond Avenue and the Prime Cinemas parking lot. The boy was then caught after he jumped a fence in the 400 block of Homestead Drive. He was booked into juvenile hall on charges of obstructing a public officer and shoplifting. The stolen stereo equipment was recovered. • Francisco Javier Sotelo, 27, of Gerber was arrested on a warrant after deputies pulled over a grey 2001 Chevrolet truck on San Benito Avenue near Chipman Avenue in Gerber Thursday. Sotelo was in the truck with two other people when they were pulled over for a Courtesy photo Natasha Coulter-LaTorre, left, and Tatiana Fassieux, of Passages. that I may have to pay higher premiums the rest of my life if I miss my initial enrollment opportunity? You do not need to do all the research on your own. A series of convenient meetings have been set locally to answer questions and help through the traffic violation. Sotelo was charged on a state case for possession of nar- cotic controlled sub- stance. No bail was set. • Troy Dewayne Gan- non, 35, of Red Bluff was arrested Thursday in the 300 block of James Avenue. Gannon, also known as Troy Gannom, was charged with obstructing or resisting a public officer. Officers had gotten a call about a woman who said her son might be a danger to himself. A few minutes later, officers saw Gannon walking on South Main Street and thought he might be the person in question. Gannon report- edly fled from officers who tried to speak to him and ran past Tractor Sup- ply Company toward the railroad tracks. Officers caught up with him in the back yard of a residence in the 300 block of James Avenue. Bail was set at $3,000. California Highway Patrol representatives couldn’t confirm if the suspect was the same man sought for questioning Today’s Burning Issue Doesn’t The Lint Trap Keep The Dryer Vent Clean? (No!)

Vandalism • A 2001 Ford was reported vandalized Thursday in the 900 block of Walnut Street. A boulder was thrown threw the back window of the vehicle, causing $200 damage, sometime between 10:15 p.m. Wednesday and 6:10 a.m. Thursday. • Several different juveniles were cited and admonished for separate incidents in Red Bluff Thursday. Three boys, approxi- mately 15 years old, fled on bicycles after setting off illegal home- made explosives near the Flying A Trailer Park at 165 So. Main St. Officers couldn’t find the boys but took a report and asked the Red Bluff fire depart- ment to help dispose of chemicals used during the incident. Other juveniles were cited for flattening a neighbor’s tire on a Toy- ota 4Runner in the 1500 1 month unlimited tanning What if it's only 10? What if there are only two secret spices and they're just plain old salt and pep- per? The thing is, when you've been betrayed like this you don't just doubt one bucket of chicken, you doubt them all. This is the type of scan- dal that takes the cake. And it really puts egg on the face of these restaurants chains as well. What about Steak 'n Shake that boasts of "hand- dipped milkshakes." Are they really hand-dipped? Actually, I've always found the image of someone scooping out ice cream with their hands and flinging it into glasses unappetizing so I wouldn't mind if that one did turn out to be false. Lori Borgman Here's the real killer. What if McDonald's was lying? What if I didn't deserve a break today? I don't how much Olive Garden calorie counts are off by, but what scares me most about them is their claim, "When you're here, you're family." When I go out to eat, the only thing I want to bring home is a clamshell with leftovers, not six strangers from the next table over now claiming we're family. I'm so upset I'm even questioning the ice cream store with 31 flavors. Can you tell me when someone last counted? Arby's claims to have "Good Mood Food," but what if they're off a little, say by the equivalent of a 100 calories worth? What if they miscalculat- ed and it's really just "OK Mood Food"? Taco Bell claims to think outside the bun and that's fine, but I want to know exactly how many calories outside the bun it's going to be. The biggest whopper, aside from Burger King, may come from the Dunkin' Donuts stores that claim "America runs on Dunkin'." Oh c'mon. America runs on fuel, nobody runs on a belly full of donuts. We've all got bigger fish to fry. I'm just saying it's food for thought. Lori Borgman is a columnist, author and speaker and can be reached at lori@loriborgman.com.
