Main St. Rotary project chosen for contest grant Ginny Barrett knew immediately where to donate the money when she learned she had won $500 from Rolling Hills Casino to donate to the charity of her choice. Barrett, who is the presi- dent of the Corning Rotary, chose the organization's Dictionary project as recip- ient of the grant, which she won by participating in the Casino's Gingerbread House Theme contest. Barrett proposed "Towns of Tehama Coun- ty" as the theme for the Casino's gingerbread pro- ject, which each year fea- tures gigantic gingerbread structures as the center- pieces. "It would be a huge pro- ject that people from all over the county would come to see," Barrett said. Barrett envisioned gin- gerbread versions of Cone Kimball tower, Maywood Hotel, railroads, and other historical landmarks repre- senting Red Bluff, Corning, Los Molinos, Vina and Tehama. "Although we didn't have time to develop the theme for our project this year, we loved the idea and are hoping to use it for next year," said James Rosen- balm, executive chef at Rolling Hills Casino. The casino's team of volunteers recently began constructing this year's pro- ject around the Christmas tree, which will feature a 10-foot-tall gingerbread tree complete with decora- tions, lights and a model train. The team plans to Courtesy photo James Rosenbalm, executive chef at Rolling Hills Casino, presents check for the Corning Rotary to Ginny Barrett for her winning Ginger- bread theme. post photos on the casino's blog and Facebook pages as the project progresses. "We are very pleased with Ginny's choice of charity," said Kate Gris- som, marketing director for Rolling Hills Casino. "Education is a top-priori- ty for our charitable giv- ing program, and the dic- tionary project targets youth at an age when enthusiasm for reading is crucial." Rolling Hills Casino champions a variety of edu- cational programs in Tehama County including Expect More Tehama, Col- Christmas tree cutters are reminded to practice caution during outings to the Lassen National Forest. A little prepa- ration and planning can go a long way. Since weather and road conditions may change at any time, it's a good idea to check the weather forecast and road conditions before embarking on a trip to the forest. Infor- mation on highway conditions may be obtained by calling 1-800-427-ROAD. Preplanning should also include leaving a copy of your planned route and itinerary with a friend, neighbor, or family member. Visitors to the forest are urged to pack a winter storm survival kit. A good kit consists of a first aid kit, extra cloth- ing and blankets, extra food and water, a fire- starting mech- anism and cooking pot, a cell phone or two-way radio, and a tool kit. Tool kits should contain jumper cables, a tow rope, a flashlight, and a shovel. Christmas tree cutting locations, especially in the higher elevations, can become inaccessible when storms hit. Favorite tree-cutting areas are often at these higher eleva- tions, where fir trees grow. However, depending on weath- er conditions, these areas can become impassable to most motor vehicles, including four-wheel drive types. Forest visitors are advised to carry chains whenever stormy weath- 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.

"Studies show that read- ing by the end of third grade is important for the lifelong success of a child," Grissom said. "Failure to read proficiently in primary grades is linked to higher rates of school dropout and lower earning potential. Reading literacy not only affects the future of our youth, it is also is crucial for the future of our County, which can only prosper with a highly educated workforce." The Dictionary Project provides dictionaries for every third-grader in Tehama County, which the children get to keep. For some children, it is the first book they ever owned. The Rotary Club of Corning also provides sev- eral scholarships for Corn- ing High seniors, and is a supporter of the Boy and Cub Scouts, International Student Exchange, a bas- ketball program, a pedome- ter project and the Tucker Mesker Memorial Scholar- ship Softball Tournament Fundraiser. Holiday Local & Fair Trade Gift Faire, 1-4 p.m., Keep safety in mind when cutting Christmas trees er is possible. Sandbags used as extra weight in your vehi- cle may help to maintain traction and can be useful in the event you get stuck. Vehicles should be fully fueled and in top mechanical condition. Remember, in the event that you do get stranded, do not panic. The person with whom you left your information should notify the authorities. If you are stranded, you should remain with your vehicle. Keep in mind that it is much eas- ier to find a vehicle in the forest than a person on foot. The vehicle will also provide some shelter. While waiting for help to arrive, signal your distress by using emergency flashers and tying a handkerchief or flagging on the anten- na or mirror. Be sure to keep the tailpipe clear while peri- odically running the engine for warmth. Christmas tree cutting permits will continue to be sold at the Forest Supervisor's Office or offices on the Districts until Dec. 17. More information regarding the purchase of Christmas tree permits can be found at www.fs.usda.gov/lassen.

The juveniles caused $200 damage and were told to leave the home. They left before officers arrived. The woman at the residence declined to press charges. Backfire • Between 7 and 9 p.m. Wednesday, at least three calls came in about shots heard in the Gilmore Road and Mina Avenue area and then on Sale Lane.

Officers spoke to several people in the Gilmore Road area who gave con- flicting descriptions of the reported vehicle. They found no evidence of any- one in distress or shots fired. Sheriff's deputies investigating the Sale Lane incident were told the suspect was possibly shooting at deer. The caller's son followed the reported truck to a resi- dence nearby. The 25- year-old driver denied shooting a gun. He let deputies search his truck and they found no weapons.
