Wildlife will migrate and feed along the edges of freshly harvested fields, making these areas prime hunting spots. With many fields adjacent to Union Pacific tracks, hunters find it very tempting to hunt on or near the tracks. "Too many people have been injured or killed trespassing on railroad property over the years. As part of our UP CARES initia- tive, we want to remind hunters that walking on or near railroad tracks is extremely dangerous Police reports Arrests • Melinda Jill Horne, 42, of Red Bluff was arrested Friday morning at the inter- section of North Main St., north of Adobe Road. She was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of DUI: alcohol or drugs, child cruelty: possible injury or death and failure to com- ply with a court order. Bail was $55,586. • Someone was arrested late Sunday evening in the 17400 block of Snively Road in the Cottonwood area and booked into jail on the charges of criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon and inflicting cor- poral injury on a spouse, cohabitant or former cohab- itant. Tehama County Sher- iff's logs show a 20-year-old woman reported she was fighting and arguing with her estranged boyfriend and would like him removed from her property. At 11:54 p.m. someone was arrested and at 12:06 a.m. CPS was requested. Nothing further was available. •Tess Megan Carter, 29, of McKinnleyville was arrested at 12:15 a.m. Friday during a traffic stop in the area of Highway 99E at Rose Street, in Los Molinos.

"It can take a mile or more to stop a train, and, by the time a locomotive engineer sees you on the track, it is too late to stop," said Dale Bray, Union Pacific director – public safety. "Loco- motives and rail cars overhang the tracks by at least three feet on either side of the rail. If you are too close to the tracks, you can be hit by the locomotive or a rail car." Hunters are not the only ones session had expired. The search and interview with Carter turned up addi- tional evidence that support- ed the marijuana was pos- sessed for sale. Carter was booked into jail on the charges of transportation and possession of marijuana for sale. Bail was $40,000. Crash •A 27-year-old Red Bluff woman was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with minor injuries following a crash at 6:55 p.m. Friday on Pine Creek Road, north of Reeds Creek. Carissa Cunningham was driving north on Pine Creek Road at 40 mph when she swerved, losing control of her 2002 Nissan Pickup, which went off the east road edge and overturned down an embankment, coming to rest on its roof. Cunning- ham, who was able to exit the pickup and called 911, said she swerved to avoid deer in the road. The pickup had major damage. Fire • A 45-acre fire reported at 12:11 a.m. Saturday at the Manton Shooting Range on Manton Road, across of Inks Creek Road, was caused by someone shoot- ing. The fire did $1,000 damage to fence posts and winter grain before it was contained at 1:05 p.m. There was a $60,000 save. drawn to railroad tracks – hikers, bikers, fishermen and snowmobil- ers are, as well. Anyone choosing to walk on or near railroad tracks could face a tragic consequence. Last year, 442 peo- ple died and 388 were injured while trespassing on railroad property throughout the United States according to the Federal Railroad Administration. People who enter railroad property can be arrested for vio- lating trespassing laws. They could serve jail time and/or have to pay a fine. Do not become a statistic; stay away from railroad tracks during this hunting season.

Ameri- cans spend more on cele- brating Halloween than Thanksgiving or Easter, sec- ond only to Christmas. How scary is that? Not to worry. There are dozens of ways to cut the cost without cutting out the fun. CHEAP DECORATIONS: Hal- loween Luminarias Clean aluminum cans in various sizes Simple Halloween outlines (like cats, jack-o-lantern faces, ghosts, witches and bats; from coloring books, magazines, clipart or your kids' simple sketches) 8.5 x 11-inch paper Black marker Hand towel Nail punch or very large nail Hammer Yellow and black spray paints Sand Votive candles Fill cans with water; freeze until solid. With a pen, trace your design onto paper; one per sheet of paper. To make one luminary, wrap the design around the frozen can and tape in place. Fold a hand towel into thirds and place the can on its side on the towel. Tap evenly around the design using the nail punch (or large nail), and hammer to make holes in the can. Hole size will vary depending on pressure used while tapping. Run the can under hot water to remove the ice; dry. Spray inte- rior with yellow paint and exterior with black paint; dry. Fill bottom of can with sand. Place candle in sand. Place your luminaria along walkways or to decorate your porch. Be extremely cautious whenever dealing with an open flame. CHEAP FACE PAINT: Halloween Makeup In a tiny container, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1/2 tea- spoon water. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon cold cream and 1 to 2 drops food color- ing to create your desired color. Find an old water- color paint box or other similar compartmentalized container to make an entire array of face paint colors. CHEAP SWEETS: Crisp Candy Corn Treats 1/2 cup butter 10 cups crispy rice cereal 9 cups miniature marshmallows 2 cups candy corn 3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips Candy pumpkins Orange food coloring Melt butter and marshmallows; add orange food coloring (or half red and yellow to make orange) to Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate your desired intensity. Stir until smooth. In a large bowl, mix rice cereal, candy corn and miniature chips together. Add marsh- mallow mixture to cereal mixture; stir quickly to combine. Spread in a large (13 x 18) buttered jellyroll pan (or divide between smaller cookie sheets); press with buttered hands to desired thickness. While warm, press on candy pumpkins spaced about two inches apart. Refrigerate and cut into squares. CHEAP LEFTOVERS: Creative Candy Corn Icing In a microwave-safe bowl, add candy corn and a few drops of water. Place in the microwave and heat, stirring often until it reach- es a smooth consistency. Add fla- voring or color, to taste. Use the icing to drizzle over banana bread, spice cake, muffins, pumpkin cook- ies and any type of fall or holiday treats. This is also a great way to get rid of all that extra candy after Hal- loween! Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.
