Reminds me of a news story I read recently about the rise in popularity of thrift stores. They're becoming so popular, in fact, new ones are popping up about as fast as traditional retailers are clos- ing. It's all about supply and demand, and clever ways to pay less for the things we need and want. This came to mind when I received today's first great reader tip. VACATION TOYS. I recently went to Florida on a vacation with a friend and her young child. Instead of packing bulky beach toys, we made a quick stop at a local thrift store when we arrived. For a couple of dollars, she got cups, strainers, spoons, shovels, toys and all sorts of things to play with in the sand. The toys were new and exciting, and my friend's child had hours of enjoyment. When the vacation was over, we gave them to a family with kids also vacationing at the beach. - - Maribeth, Ohio CHEAP MASCARA. I was eager to ditch my expensive brand of mas- cara and try something cheaper, so I jumped when I found a coupon for a brand that was also on sale. I didn't like the applicator brush, but remem- bered reading that mascaras are basically the same except the design of the applicator brush. So I cleaned the one from my old mas- cara and found that it fit the new bot- tle. I couldn't be happi- er. I really can't tell the difference from the expensive brand! -- Abby, Minnesota HEIRLOOM HISTO- RY. On the back of every piece of heirloom furni- ture that I own, I've recorded the following information with a per- manent marker: who it used to belong to, and how and when I acquired it. (You could write this information on a card and tape it in an envelope to the back of the furniture, too.) On the furniture that I've given to my adult children, I added the date and the name of whom I gave it to. My hope is that when I'm gone it will be easier for my kids to decide what to keep and what to sell. I've also included notes in the china cabinet and in my jewelry box. Doing this should help my kids save a lot of time when they have to go through my things. -- Mary Ann, Michigan COIN JAR FOR VACATIONS. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate We keep a jar that we put all our change into during the year. At vacation time, that change becomes spending money for the kids. They con- tribute all the change they have during the year, too. This teaches them to save for something they want on vacation. Before we leave, we cash in the money and divide it between the two of them. They get to spend it how they want during our vaca- tion. We've saved between $200 and $400 each year, just in change! -- Angie, email Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

National Burn Awareness Week Across California thousands of people are burned every year in fires and countless lives are lost, including young children. During the week of Feb. 5-11, CalFire is teaming up with fire departments across the country to highlight the fire risks and burn injury prevention during the winter months for National Burn Awareness Week. This year fire officials are focusing on the increased risk to children for burn injuries and offer safety tips to keep them protected from burn injuries. Each year about 465 children ages 14 and under die due to unintentional fires or from burn related injuries, with children ages 3 and younger at the greatest risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A 2009 report from the American Burn Association indicates that the most common cause of hospitalizations to children under 5 years of ages is scald burns caused from hot liq- uids. Hot tap water accounts for nearly 1 in 4 of all scald burns among children and is associated with more deaths and hospitalizations than any other hot liquid burns. CalFire reminds parents of these simple safety measures for protecting loved ones from burns: • Reduce water temperature. Set your hot water heater to 120 degrees. Consider putting anti-scald devices (about $40) on each faucet and showerhead. Check the bath water with your wrist or elbow before placing your child in the 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. Arrests • Calli Marie Bag- naschi, 24, of Red Bluff was arrested Monday at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital. Officers responded to the hospital and talked to Bagnaschi, who reportedly admitted she'd used a relative's name to get prescription medication. She also had a felony warrant for her arrest. She was charged on the warrant and with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and obtaining credit or ser- vices using another per- son's identity. Bail was set at $30,000. • William Richard Anstead, 49, of Anderson was arrested Monday by drug task force agents in the 19700 block of Lake California Drive in the Cottonwood area. He was charged with possession of marijuana for sale, selling marijuana and possession of concentrated cannabis. Bail was set at $105,000. Theft • A light blue Dia- mondback single speed bicycle, valued at $250, was reported stolen Mon- day in the 1300 block of Second Street. The bicy- cle, which had a flat tire and a single foot peg on the front wheel, was taken from the front porch of a residence between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. • A wallet was reported stolen Monday from inside an unlocked vehi- cle in the 3700 block of Marguerite Avenue in Corning. The wallet was taken between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday from a white 2009 Ford truck. Juveniles • A caller reported hearing teenagers at about 10:45 p.m. Monday yelling on the field at Bid- well Elementary School. One boy was reportedly yelling that he wanted to die. Officers contacted four juveniles on the field and medical was dis- patched to the scene. One of the juveniles, who was highly intoxicated, was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital. The other three were given rides home and released to family members. Disturbance • A 911 call came in at about 8:30 p.m. Monday and a large disturbance could be heard in the Beautiful Flowers Clark's Drug Store Clarks Floral inside 824-3971 2126 Solano St. Corning tub. • Prevent spills. If possible, cook with pots and pans on back burners and turn handles away from the front where a child could grab them. Avoid wearing long sleeves or baggy clothes in the kitchen. Don't place containers of hot food or liquid near the edge of a counter or table and remove tablecloths so a child cannot pull containers onto themselves. • Establish a "kid-free zone." Make the stove area a "kid-free zone" (three feet is a good distance). Mark it on the floor with bright tape and tell the kids they are not allowed in that area. Never leave your child alone in the kitchen. Don't hold children while cooking or while carry- ing hot foods and beverages. • Test food and drink temperatures. Taste cooked foods and heated liquids to make sure they're not too hot for chil- dren. Never microwave a baby's bottle. Instead, heat bot- tles with warm water and test them before feeding your child. •Keep electrical cords out of reach – especially exten- sion cords and cords connected to heating appliances such as coffee pots and deep fryers. Make sure electrical cords can't be pulled or snagged into a bathtub or sink. Don't leave a hot iron sitting on an ironing board unattended For more information, visit the CalFire website at www.fire.ca.gov. background in the 17000 block of Stagecoach Road. A woman possibly had a gun. The suspects reportedly left in a tan SUV or truck. California Highway Patrol was called in to assist. At least two subjects were detained, but no arrests were made. • Deputies were called to Fast Track Gas & Food in Los Molinos Monday when someone said a man in his 20s wearing a dark sweatshirt and beanie beat someone up and put him in the trunk of a black 2001 Volkswa- gen Jetta with Oregon plates. The suspects denied any physical fight and said they had only been arguing. Nobody was found in the vehicle's trunk. However, one of the suspects was cited for driving on a suspended license and had to wait for a licensed driver to come get the vehicle. Animals • A woman reported Monday that her neigh- bor's dogs had come over and tried to attack her goats in the 10800 block of Cody Drive.
