Eagle Scout candidate Anthony Aviles, of Boy Scout Troop 417, and the son of Red Bluff Califor- nia Highway Patrol Com- mander Lt. Lou Aviles, has proposed for his Ea- gle Scout project a Tehama County Peace Officers Me- morial at the Tehama Dis- trict Fairground. The proposed time line for completion of this proj- ect is mid-September. Aviles presented the project to the Tehama County Police Activities board of his proposal July 16 at M & M Ranch House. The board voted to donate $500 to help with this project. The Eagle Scout nomi- nee is requesting support for this project from ser- vice organizations, busi- nesses and individu- als. The estimated cost is $8,000. The workforce will consist of Boy Scouts, adult leaders, students, friends and other volun- teers. Aviles is securing all re- quired licenses, permits, inspections and approvals through all of the entities involved. Funds are also pro- posed for the mainte- nance and upkeep of the memorial. From his literature he adds, "I chose the fair- ground because of the amount of people who visit throughout the year. These people, whether lo- cal residents or visitors, will then be able to pay their respects to these brave individuals." Six names of Tehama County PeaceOfficerswillbe inscribed on this memorial. Donations may be sent to 2550 Main St., Red Bluff 96080, attention Lt. Aviles.

On our return stop at tiny Frog Lake to walk on its floating island. Pileated woodpeckers live in this area. This moderate hike is just 4 miles round trip, but has uphill climbs at high elevation.

The group will drive first to Chester by Highways 32 and 36 for a rest stop. The trail head is 12 miles away on a wash- board road that is moder- ately steep the last 5 miles. The 1.9 mile hike to Mt. Harkness at 8046 feet ele- vation is the shortest com- pared to other peaks in the park. The group will see great panoramas from the lookout tower. The open areas may be covered with blooming silverleaf lu- pines. The elevation gain is 1,236 feet with a mod- erately steep 8.3% grade. Leaders: Gerry, 530-893- 5123 and Wes, 530-342- 2293.

The last 9 miles is an unim- proved dirt road most suit- able for high clearance ve- hicles. Willow Lake at 5500 feet elevation is a unique body of water called a fen. Mats of floating sphagnum moss support a variety of interesting plants and as- sociated life forms. Some of the group may choose to hike 1.6 miles each way to Terminal Geyser, a ther- mal area just inside Lassen Park, at 5845 feet eleva- tion. Leaders: Gerry, 530- 893-5123 and Wes, 530- 342-2293. NATIVE PLANTS Mo un t La ss en chapter plans August activities BetterBusinessBureau Romance scams, some- times called "catfishing," are an unfortunate reality of online dating. As the, mo- bile dating app Tinder has grown in popularity, scam artistshavetargeteditsusers andrefinedtheirapproachso they are harder to spot. Howthescamworks: You are browsing through profiles on Tinder, and you spot an attractive man or woman. You flip through his or her pictures and read over theprofile.Youareinterested in chatting with him/her, so you swipe right to show your interest. A few minutes later, you get a message from Tin- der saying you're a match, meaning that person also liked your profile. Then, you receive a message from your potential date. You swap a few messages through the app, and your new match suggests that you text in- stead. Everything seems to be going great, but once you move your conversation out of Tinder, it changes. Tinder has cracked down on obvious spam, so scam- mers are getting more so- phisticated in their ap- proach. Your new match may start telling you to try an "amazing" new service or product. They typically provide links with referral codes, so the spammers get paid for sending new cus- tomers. Scammers will rec- ommend you download an app and provide you with a link that loads malware to your phone. Other scam- mers will ask you for an ad- dress and other personal in- formation under the guise of sending flowers or another gift. HowtospotaTinder scam: Weed out scam profiles by looking for the following warning signs: They reply Way too fast: Many of the fake profiles on Tinder aren't real people, they are spam bots. Watch outforanyone who messages you immediately after being matched. They quickly suggest chat- ting through text message or achatprogram.ManyTinder users will move the conver- sation to text message, but spam accounts will suggest it almost immediately. They don't listen. If your match responds with an- swers that don't make sense in the context of the conver- sation, that's a sign the re- plies are canned. Try ask- ing questions, and if the an- swer doesn't make sense, move on. They have a glamour shot. If your Tinder match looks like a model and is wearing a bikini, she may not be real (although, some reports say that scammers are being less overt and aiming for more of a "girl next door" look). SCAM ALERT Lo ok in g fo r lo ve o n Ti nd er ? Wa tc h ou t Since Red Bluff became a "dry" territory it has been customary for a number of people to purchase beer and taking it with them to restaurants would drink it with their meals. This cus- tom has been followed more extensively by patrons of the local tamale parlors than in any other place and as a result the question has been raised as to whether or not this procedure is le- gal. The question was put up to District Attorney N. A. Gernon several days ago by local people and before an- swering them Gernon pro- ceeded to investigate the proposition from every an- gle and get all the authori- ties on the subject possible. As a result of his investi- gations he has come to the conclusion that such a pro- ceeding is unlawful and that the proprietor of any restaurant or public place where food is served, who allows his patrons to drink beer of other alcoholic li- quors with their meals is vi- olating the Wylie Local Op- tion Law and is subject to prosecution. — July 24, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
