And it's expect- ed to rise by another 10 percent in 2012, with experts warning the price hike will hit by summer. Now seems like a good time to stalk the sales and load up my freezer. More than that, I'm talking to a local butcher about purchasing a side or a quarter of beef, dressed and packaged for home consumption. I'm hoping to get my average price per pound well under the 2011 price. I'll keep you posted. On the heels of rising beef prices, the cost of all foods is expected to rise in 2012. So what's a consumer to do? Start building a food "hedge fund." That means when things are on sale, buy as much as you can afford. At sale prices, not only will you be beating inflation now, depending on how much you buy, you'll knock the socks off inflation in the future. Think non-perishable: flour, sugar, coffee, rice, beans, canned goods, canned meats and tuna. Buying these foods at today's prices is like running ahead of an avalanche, provided you pace yourself and don't slow down. Here are few inflation-beating tips: Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Jose Antonio Gaytan, 20, of Corning was arrested Saturday in the 1400 block of Marin Street in Corning. Corning Police enlisted sheriff's deputies to help with a foot chase near the 7- 11 store at 1:41 a.m. Satur- day in Corning. The suspect was stopped at gunpoint minutes later behind the store in the 1400 block of Marin Street. Gaytan, also known as Lil Turtle, was charged with obstructing a public officer and disorderly conduct involving drugs or alcohol. He also had misde- meanor warrants for failure to appear after a written promise, driving under the influence and driving with- out a license. Bail was set at $28,500. • Lara Obert, 37, of Red Bluff was arrested Friday in the 800 block of South Jack- son Street. She was charged with second degree burglary and probation violation. Bail was set at $100,000. • Duane Dale Davis, 52, of Anderson was booked into Tehama County Jail Sunday on arrest warrants charging him with being an ex-felon with a firearm, not having possession of a license and damaging prop- erty while hunting. Bail was set at $17,000. Burglary • Burglary, vandalism and vehicle theft were reported Friday morning at a residence in the 20200 block of Live Oak Road.

When it's on sale, buy enough to last until the next sale. We know that food retailers work on a 12-week cycle. Every- thing comes on sale at least once every three months. That doesn't mean every brand, but you can bank on peanut butter being on sale some time within the next 12 weeks, for example. 2. Create storage space. You might believe you just don't have room to build a stash of non-perishable food, but consider this: The space under the beds is the perfect size for canned and dry goods, stored in shal- low plastic bins. 3. Buy a cow. Now, I'm not talking about a calf to raise in your backyard. I'm thinking large quantities of beef in bulk, at prices that are better than the average supermarket. There are many ways to do this, the simplest being a local butcher shop. There are also great resources online that will ship you the exact cuts you desire, packaged to fit your needs. Wilson Beef Farms (www.WilsonBeef- owners of the fifth wheel trailers reported $4,000 worth of items stolen, including two 23-inch, two 32-inch Panasonic televi- sions, two 42-inch Vizio televisions, a Cyber Home DVD player, two Honda 2000-watt generators a tanned cow hide and miscel- laneous bedding items.

Chase • At least eight deputies were called out on a chase a suspect who ran from a traf- fic stop of a white 1994 Suzuki Friday morning at Cavalier Drive and D Street in Tehama.

Located in upstate New York, you can purchase a side of beef (about 300 pounds) for $3.72 per pound plus shipping, or any number of smaller "meat packages." 4. Change your eating habits. Just because beef is getting more expensive does- n't mean you must banish it from your diet. Instead, sim- ply cut back. Think of ways beef can become more of a side dish, rather than the main event of your meal. I'm always happy when I get feedback from my read- ers.

MOVIE—FORKS OVER KNIVES Will be shown on March 31st –2:00 p.m. Free of Charge 720 So. Jackson St. Red Bluff JOIN THE CONVERSATION THAT'S CHANGING THE WAY AMERICA EATS. "Forks over knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries they made, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented—and in many cases reversed—by adopting a whole-foods, plant- based diet. The idea of food as medicine is put to the test. Cameras follow "reality patients" who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole-food, plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed. The film features leading experts on health and tackles the issue of diet and disease in a way that will have people talking for years." "A film that can save your life." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The companion books, Forks Over Knives, the plant based way to health, was the number 2 on The New York Times best seller list in the Fall of 2011
