It is believed the thief broke into the vehi- cle. •A possible office break-in was reported Tuesday afternoon at North Valley Baptist Church. •A red wallet contain- ing a driver's license, social security card, Medi-Cal card, a Walmart Visa credit card, and an EBT card was reported lost Tuesday morning at Food Maxx. Goats About 20 dead goats were reportedly seen Tuesday afternoon on Gyle Road near Rawson Road. No further infor- mation was available. Collision • Guadalupe Casillas, 25, of Gerber and Mann Hunt, Jr., 27, of Corning were in a two car collision at 5:40 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of May- wood Lane and Mar- guerite Avenue. Casillas was driving west on May- wood Lane and stopped at the intersection with Mar- guerite Avenue. Hunt was driving south on Mar- guerite about 50 mph approaching the intersec- tion and did not have his lights on despite the fact that it was dark and the weather was bad. Hunt's lack of lighting caused Casillas to be unable to see Hunt approaching the intersection and Casillas made a right turn onto Marguerite Avenue directly in front of Hunt's vehicle. Hunt saw Casil- las and tried to brake, however, the road was wet causing Hunt to slide into Casillas' vehicle. Casil- las' vehicle received mod- erate damage and Hunt's received major damage. Crash • James Faltesek Sr., 65, of Cottonwood was uninjured when his vehi- cle slammed into a paved center divider at 10 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 5, north of Bowman Road. Faltesek was entering northbound I-5 from the Bowman Road on-ramp about 40-45 mph when he began to accelerate as he entered the traffic lane. Due to an unsafe speed for the conditions, as the road was wet from several hours of rain, Faltesek lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle began to rotate counterclockwise and Faltesek braked hard causing the vehicle to slide across both lanes and into the paved center divider. Sliding sideways facing south, the right side of the vehicle impacted a concrete median wall, slid a short distance and came to rest against the wall. The vehicle received major damage. Fire • CalFire responded to a structure fire at 11:47 a.m. on Highway 36E near Lanes Valley Road in the Paynes Creek area. The flue- caused fire did $4,000 damage to the residence with a $125,000 save, was contained by 12:15 p.m. CalFire left the scene at 2:25 p.m. Rescue • CalFire's Ishi Crew was sent out just before 2 p.m. Wednesday to help rescue an 18-year- old man who fell about 125 feet while trying to hike down to some falls on Battle Creek in the Mineral area. The man was taken to St. Eliza- beth Community Hospi- tal to be treated for moderate injuries. Dangerous road Three collisions took place on Tehama Vina Road in the last two days, including two at the intersection with Highway 99E. • Israel Castillo, 23, of Los Molinos was dri- ving west on Tehama Vina Road at 9:55 a.m. on Monday and stopped for the intersection with 99E. He failed to see the vehicle driven by Leo Laustrup, 54, of Los Molinos going north on 99E about 25-30 mph and pulled directly into Laustrup's path. Laus- trup tried to swerve left, but was unable to avoid the collision that caused moderate damage to both vehicles. Castillo's vehicle spun clockwise coming to rest facing on the east shoulder of 99E while Laustrup's vehicle went northwest coming to rest on the west shoulder of 99E. • The second colli- sion, at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the intersection of Tehama Vina Road and 99E, between Monte Vansickle, 74, of Los Molinos and Michael Skelton, 46, of Red Bluff was a minor dam- age collision. Vansickle who was going west on Tehama Vina Road and was stopped at the inter- section, failed to see Skelton going north on 99E as he approached the intersection. Van- sickle began to cross the intersection and while Skelton braked he was unable to avoid a colli- sion. • Julie Ann Johnson, 44, of Los Molinos was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influ- ence after a crash at 7:20 p.m. Johnson was driving west on Tehama Vina Road, east of Marek Road, about 25- 30 mph when due to her extreme level of intoxi- cation she allowed the vehicle to veer left, trav- eling across the east- bound lane and off the south road edge of Tehama Vina Road. The vehicle went through a fence, continued west across a driveway and through another wooden fence before hitting a tree where it came to rest. A total of 35 feet of fence was damaged. Johnson's vehicle received moderate dam- age. Thursday, December 31, 2009 – Daily News – 3A 645 Antelope Blvd. #1 in Frontier Village across from the fairgrounds.

Is there a place to check out As Seen On TV products to see whether they work? Sometimes I'll buy from Bed, Bath & Beyond because it has a good return policy, but I rather would do the research before I buy. -- Barbara, Indiana Dear Barbara: I suggest that you do an Internet search on the exact product you are consider- ing. You're sure to find a plethora of sites and blogs that have reviewed it. Be prepared. You'll read everything from satisfied customers to those who are cry- ing "scam!" You can evaluate their experiences and make an informed decision as to whether you want to take a chance. I suggest that you not order from the TV infomercial itself. Wait, as you suggest, until it comes to a store near you. If you can't wait, check on eBay for the product. I think you will find that the returns on infomercial prod- ucts often are liquidated on eBay. That is how I purchased four Chop Wizards for Christmas gifts one year. I got quite a bargain on one of my all-time favorite kitchen items. I love my Chop Wizard, which I pur- chased new on eBay for just $15 including ship- ping. Not bad! Dear Mary: I have a 3-year-old daughter. My hus- band and I plan to have more children eventu- ally. I have saved lots of baby things -- cloth- ing, toys and other items -- but I am hav- ing trouble storing all of these things. They have taken over my guest room closet. I cannot take up any more space with these things. I have begun bags for donation and garage sales, but there are some things I need to keep for future children. I do not like the idea of paying for storage space elsewhere, but I am not sure what to do with these quickly accumulating things. Can you help? -- Becky, Wisconsin Dear Becky: Do you have friends or relatives with garage, basement or attic space you could use for a few years? If not, I sug- gest you decide what items you really need to retain. For all of the clothes, blankets and other soft items, get a few Space Bags, which easily are filled and compressed using your vacuum cleaner with a hose to suck out all the air. You can stash these under beds or in the tops of closets. As for equip- ment, get out your tools and disassemble it. Put all of the pieces into compact boxes that you can tuck away. Take pho- tos during the process so you'll remember how to put these items back together when the new babies arrive. Do you have a question for Mary?
