No, not for the superb food. Not for the speedy cook time. Not even for providing my tummy with that extra side that I'm certain does not actually come with my entrée. My gratitude stems from something more valuable than a temporarily satisfied stomach — viable knowledge I can take to my own kitchen. So this one is dedi- cated to you, restaurant chefs, who provide me with something I can take home and isn't bound by Styrofoam box. Learn from the pros to save time and money when catering to your own dinner rush crowd — the fam- ily. 1. Make a menu OK, so maybe going the leather- bound and laminated route is overkill, but making a "menu"/meal plan of your family's entrees each week is a smart way to budget your time and money. Meal-planning, a blogging buzz- word, is all the rage these days for good reason — it works. By know- ing which dish to prepare a week in advance, you'll be better equipped to take on the grocery store run without overspending. Keep up with in-store coupons to save even more. 2. Keep your workstation tidy Face it. A recipe's "prep" and "cook" time estimates are just that — estimates. Unfortunately, "cleanup" time is not a typical recipe component although it's a given with any cooking. Cut your cleanup time by tidying up as you go. Done dicing the tomatoes while you wait for water to boil? Wash the cutting board and knife while you wait. But be careful to keep track of what's cooking. A watched pot never boils. A forgotten pot is a whole other story. 3. Get some helping hands Cooks are team players when it comes to churning out food by the tray-load. Though a professional team of sous-chef, saucier, butcher, pastry chef and dishwasher might be hard to come by in a normal American home, kids are eager to get their hands dirty. As common sense dictates, save the chopping and heating to the adults and leave the mixing, mash- ing, kneading and tasting (it's an important job) to the little chefs. Family time and help in the kitchen? Life can't get sweeter. 4. Know what to buy in bulk Though buying in bulk may seem like a good idea at the time, save the buy-in-bulk items for non- perishable family favorites, like cereal, crackers, chips and even rice or pasta. Even though it may seem like a good deal to get 10 avocados for $8, you more than likely will never need that many avocados. In the restaurant world, it's cru- cial to cut down on expenses before the front doors even open every day. Buying in large quantities makes sense in a restaurant setting. Buying certain items in large quan- tities, such as favorite snacks and dinnertime staples, makes sense at home, too. 5. The customer is (almost) always right Feedback is key to running a healthy restaurant. The formula is simple: make more X when the customers want X. Make less Y when the customers don't order Y. The rule is so simple and implied that it's often overlooked. Food, and therefore money, go to waste when this rule is forgotten at home or in restaurants. Take the lesson home by gaug- ing what the family digs and what the family disses. But do keep in mind: if meals were completely up to kids, dinner would be gummy bears and birthday cakes. So please, take feedback with a grain of salt. Dinner rush, shminner rush. No need to fear. Behind-kitchen-doors tips are here. Diaper drive is a success The annual diaper drive was a huge success, thanks to all the volun- teers and generous com- munity members, with nearly 9,000 diapers col- lected during October. The cost of basic fami- ly needs is on the rise and the challenges for fami- lies has hit a staggering new level. More families cannot make weekly ends meet. Families find them- selves making choices between groceries or medicine, rent or car insurance, and diapers for their babies or purchasing a bus pass. Babies are left in wet diapers for hours at a time, and baby formula is being diluted with water so that it will go further. As a result, more fami- lies are seeking help from the annual No Butts Left Behind Diaper Drive, coordinated by Tehama County Health Partner- ship. Darwyn Jones, district manager of the Walmart Distribution Center in Red Bluff, once again donated the most diapers by an individual busi- ness, representing 44 per- cent of all diapers donat- ed. The community at large came in second with Red Bluff Kiwanis suc- cessfully collecting more diapers than the Red Bluff Rotary in a friendly chal- lenge. The diaper drive has come to an end for this year but the need contin- ues. The community may continue donating diapers and other related items.

Technology connects doctors to moms in labor Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), the nation's fifth largest health system, announced Tues- day it will implement AirStrip OB across its three-state hospital sys- tem, including St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital in Red Bluff. The technology will provide CHW-affiliated physicians with remote access to up to four hours of patient monitoring data, includ- ing fetal heartbeats, maternal con- traction patterns and vital signs. "Giving our physicians the ability to view this data remotely, in near real-time, is an important component of ensuring the safety of m oms and their newborns," said Robert Wiebe, MD, CHW 's chief medical officer. "We are pleased to be able to provide this advanced technology to physi- cians and patients across our sys- tem."

Arrests • A man was arrested on a warrant Wednesday at Walmart. A caller reported the suspect had returned to the store. The fetal monitors, as well as the hos- pital's labor and delivery docu- mentation system, and transmits information in near real-time to the physician's mobile handheld device. Doctors can receive this confidential patient data securely on a wide range of mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad, Black- Berry and Android. The technolo- gy is FDA cleared and compliant with all HIPAA patient confiden- tiality requirements. The technology means that doctors can be at the bedside vir- tually, even when they can't be present for every hour of labor. Traditionally, nurses read bedside monitors, call a doctor and verbal- ly describe what they are seeing. With AirStrip OB, doctors can remotely monitor their patients and see up to four hours of data.

"CHW is improving the safety of new moms and their newborns by giving physicians the ability to view data critical to quality care anywhere,anytime," said John D. Hoff, MD, obstetrics/gynecology. "This technology enables doctors to identify and troubleshoot prob- lems early and communicate immediately with nurses and other caregivers, when necessary. This advancement will result in faster, more comprehensive care,while giving patients and care providers greater peace of mind." with failure to appear after a written promise, posses- sion of drug paraphernalia and two counts of failure to appear on felony charges.
