FUNDRAISER Ducky Derby sponsorships still available The Run4Salmon event, scheduled for Sept. 17 through Oct. 1, is a 300- mile trek that will follow the historical journey of the salmon from the Sac- ramento-San Joaquin Delta to the Winnemem — McCloud River — to raise awareness about the policies threatening Winnemem Wintu wa- ters, fish and indigenous lifeways. Winnemem Wintu Chief Caleen Sisk and a collec- tive of indigenous women, activists and allies are or- ganizing this sacred un- dertaking to bring the salmon runs back home to their native spawning grounds on the McCloud River, ancestral home of the Winnemem culture. It's a dire time in Cal- ifornia for wild chinook salmon, sacred to the Winnemem and many other California indig- enous people. Climate change, giant dam proj- ects, watershed clear cuts and the diversion of rivers for big agricultural irriga- tion threaten the survival of the keystone keepers of Winnemem waters. Salmon bring essen- tial nutrients to the wa- terways, forests and lands. However, since Shasta Dam was built 71 years ago, salmon have been unable to return to their home waters in the Winnemem's mountain watershed. Now, the Winnemem Wintu Tribe is working to bring the genetic descen- dants of their salmon back from New Zealand, where fertile eggs were exported in the 1880s. While oppos- ing plans of the federal government and West- lands Water District to raise the height of Shasta Dam, the Winnemem pro- pose a new fish bypass and reintroduction of the New Zealand salmon to their home waters. The Run4Salmon will shine a light on the threats to salmon's existence and the vital role they play in keeping waters and forests healthy. Participants will lay down blessings along the route the New Zealand salmon will take once they return. This is a ceremo- nial way to bring salmon home. The Winnemem con- sider salmon "the keepers of the water," essential to maintaining healthy wa- terways for human and all other life that depend on these rivers. As partic- ipants run, they will pray to bring balance to the rivers of California and to all the waters of the world, which are connected. Local events will in- clude a cycling journey from Colusa to Woodson Bridge on Sept. 23 and a running segment from Woodson Bridge to the mouth of Cow Creek Sept. 24-25. Youth runners will continue from Cow Creek to Shasta Lake at Jones Valley Sept. 26. A concert is scheduled for 2-10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Sundial Bridge in Red- ding.

FISHERIES 300-mile trek to follow salmon's historic journey Pianist Alpin Hong will perform Chasing Chopin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 at Red Bluff's State Theatre to open the Tehama Concert Series season. Not your usual concert pianist, yet a favorite guest of the North State Sym- phony, the New York Times labeled Mr. Hong "a pianis- tic firebrand." People don't imagine such a talented classical performer as an avid video gamer who can also play your favorite video game musical jingle. Hong em- bodies a rare blend among contemporary classical mu- sicians. It is a delight to watch his myriad expres- sions as he causes Chopin's music to come alive with a dynamic piano technique. This show brings these talents together in a per- sonal narrative that shares his story, punctuating each chapter with incompara- ble compositions. This per- formance will definitely be ear and eye candy for mu- sic lovers. This concert is free to subscribers of the Tehama Concert Series who have purchased a season ticket. Non-members may pur- chase tickets at the theater box office just before con- cert time. Single-concert ticket prices are $30 per adult and $10 for students. Con- cert Series memberships and season tickets for the Tehama Concert Series, which includes admission to this performance, will be available for purchase in the theater's lobby. That means $70 for a new adult membership will admit the purchaser to this Alpin Hong concert plus the four remaining season concerts. The box office will open around 6:30 p.m. For more information, call 727-8727 or visit www.tehamacon- certseries.org. Find the Concert Series on Facebook. RED BLUFF'S STATE THEATRE Pi an is t Al pi n Ho ng t o op en Tehama Concert Series season I just did something I haven't done in years. I took the weekend and the holiday off. It was won- derful. We had friends over for a barbecue. And I made salsa — from scratch. I used my absolute favorite kitchen gadget, the Vidalia Chop Wizard, to chop the stuff that needed chopping (to- matoes, onions, bell pep- pers, jalapeno, garlic, ci- lantro). This thing is amazing. Using the Chop Wiz- ard I was able to chop the tomatoes quickly into uniform slices without launching seeds and pulp across the room or turn- ing the whole tomato into a squishy mess. Then I chopped the other ingre- dients and mixed them all together with lime juice, salt and pepper. I was done in about 5 minutes. Yum! I love my Chop Wizard. I look for things to chop just because it's so much fun. I'm a chopping fool! And the results are always so amazing. I even took my Chop Wizard to the of- fice awhile back and held a demonstration for my (tol- erant) staff. I know I run the risk of sounding like a paid Chop Wizard spokesperson. (I'm not, although that might not be such a bad gig, now that I think about it.) It's just that this gad- get is such a time saver, and given the fact that it makes me want to make stuff from scratch, it's a money saver, too. I bought my first Chop Wizard years ago in re- sponse to a late-night TV infomercial. Remarkably, it is still being produced and is now available in stores and online for about $20. I can't say that everything I've purchased through an infomercial or PBS spe- cial has turned out quite as well. I've been burned a number of times when my compulsive nature met a weak moment head-on. It makes me queasy to think back on all the junk I've bought and all the money I've wasted over the years. When I say I am com- pulsive I mean that with a capital C. So how do I deal with compulsive- ness when it comes to buy- ing stuff? I have these spe- cific questions written on a flowchart that I keep close by, and I force my- self to answer them when I'm thinking about buying something. —Do I need it? —Can I afford it? —Do I already have something that will do? —Can I wait for a more reasonable alternative? —Am I certain I have lo- cated the best deal? —Am I willing to sub- mit to a self-imposed cool- ing-off period to think it over? You wouldn't believe how many times these simple questions have stopped me short and saved me from making a foolish purchase. But there have been just as many times this exercise gave me the confidence and cer- tainty I needed to make a purchase. Wouldyouliketosend a tip to Mary?

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE I'macompulsivechopper The Tehama County An- imal Care Center is holding the fourth Free Cat Friday adoption event of this year on Friday, Sept. 9 in an ef- fort to find forever homes for all adoptable cats. The Animal Care Center will waive the adoption fee for adult cats, making them free to adopt during the event. In addition to free adult cats, kittens will have their adoption fee dropped to only $10. Cats ready for adoption have their initial vaccina- tions, have been de-wormed and have been tested for fe- line leukemia. Additionally, all spay and neuter and ra- bies vaccination fees for cats adopted will be paid for by Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter — PETS. Many of the cats are already altered and will be available to go home with adopters on Friday at the event, though some will stay with the Animal Care Center to get spayed or neutered before going home. "This is our fourth Free Cat Friday event of this year, and they are always a lot of fun," said Animal Care Center Manager Chris- tine McClintock. "We never have a shortage of adopt- able cats, and nothing is more rewarding than to see the animals get altered and placed in to new homes. We encourage you to visit the care center and find the next member of your fam- ily." The Theama County An- imal Care Center is at 1830 WalnutSt.inRedBluff.Care Center hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Satur- day. Adoption hours are 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. If you would like more in- formation regarding adopt- ing, fostering or becoming a Care Center volunteer, call McClintock at 527-3439 or write to cmcclintock52@sb- cglobal.net.
