Notice all the little green or red lights star- ing at you from TVs, cable boxes, phone chargers, com- puter peripherals, sound sys- tems, the coffee maker and the microwave. I did this recently, and it was like walking through a forest filled with tiny critters staring back at me. Those lights are powered by something known as standby power, and it sucks extra energy from the grid into your home day and night around the clock. That's power you're paying for to keep your electronics in "instant-on" mode. Many gadgets, electronic devices and appliances draw power even when they're switched off or not in use, just by being plugged in. Though it may seem trivial, it can add up over time. Chargers for cell phones, digital cameras, power tools and other gad- gets draw energy even if they're not in use. Appliances like televisions, computer monitors and DVD play- ers can also draw power whenever they're plugged in. Estimates are that all together, phantom energy can account for 10 percent of an individual home's electricity use. Doesn't sound like much? Well, The Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce sponsored a three-person wheelbarrow competi- tion called the Cow Pie Classic. Seven teams, from local business- es and organizations, came dressed in costume with decorated wheelbar- rows to match. At the signal they navigated through an obstacle course, with one person being blind folded. The passengers had to pick up a cow pie and hold it one-handed while the teams raced back to the finish line. The Durango RV Resort team won the Cow Pie Classic Trophy and belt buckles for finishing in first place. The Tehama County Sherriff's Department entry was the crowd favorite for Best Themed and Deco- rated. 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. Arrest Juan Ramos Sustayta, 38, of Red Bluff was arrested Sunday on Sandy Way. Sustayta, also known as Juan Sustaila Ramos and Juan Sustaita Ramos, was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge of inflicting corporal injury on spouse or cohabitant. Bail was $50,000. Crashes •A 63-year-old Red Bluff woman received minor injuries, but would seek her own aid follow- ing a crash at 8 a.m. Fri- day on Rancho Tehama Road. Judith Boyce was dri- ving east on Rancho Tehama Road, east of Elder Creek Circle when she allowed the 2007 Pon- tiac SUV to run off south road edge and into a ditch. The SUV went across a driveway before going back into ditch, across both lanes of Rancho Tehama Road, ran off the north road edge and through a wire fence, damaging 20 feet before coming to rest on its wheels facing southeast with the left front of the vehicle resting against a tree. • A hit and run driver ran into a PG&E power pole at 8:20 a.m. Friday The North State's premier supplier of stoves STOVE JUNCTION The Over 25 years of experience consider this: Cutting your monthly usage by 10 percent will get you over a month of free electricity every year. Here's how to stop the drain: First of all, not every electrical item is drawing phantom power. Your toaster and lamps, for example, do not likely pull electricity when they are "off." But your com- puter with all of its peripherals (monitor, printer and scanner) run- ning 24/7 is. A typical home computer con- sumes about 300 watts. If you only use it four hours a day but it's always plugged in, you're wasting up to $200 a year, depending on the rates in your area. advisable to unplug major kitchen appliances like your stove, refriger- ator or built-in microwave. But it is more than likely that you have dozens of items in your home, including chargers for things like your tooth- brush, cell phone, camera and iPod, that do not need to be powered up at all times. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Items that depend on standby power have digital displays or small "on" lights that glow 24/7. Deter- mine which of these, if any, you must have ready to go in standby mode and which you can spare 20 seconds for them to power up. Perhaps you have a television that loses all of its settings if turned off, or it's located in such a place that getting to the plug just isn't fea- sible. Also, it's not practical or The way to stop this drain on your wallet is to unplug your devices from their power source when they aren't in use. It's that simple. Hint: Plugging bundled devices (think TV, DVD player and DVR; or computer, monitor and printer) into the same power strip and then sim- ply turning it off is the eas- iest and most efficient way to get control over the phantom-energy monster in your home -- and save some money in the process.

The driver, going south on Beaver Lane at an unknown speed, made an unsafe turning movement, ran off the road and hit the base attachment of a guide wire to a PG&E pole.
