The Kingston Trio is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23 at the State Theatre in Red Bluff. In 1957 The Kingston Trio emerged from San Francisco's North Beach club scene to take the coun- try by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music into the main- stream for the first time. During the late '50s and early '60s, the group en- joyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while influencing the mu- sical tastes of a generation. The Kingston Trio is booking more gigs than ever, a sign of the boomer generation's return to acoustic music. They are now sharing the experi- ences online with social media networking tools like Facebook and Twit- ter, where fans can inter- act with their favorite folk music group. They have appeared on countless variety shows and performed at some of the most famous ven- ues in the country, includ- ing Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood bowl. Some of their instantly recognizable hits include "Tom Dooley," "MTA," "Scotch and Soda" and "Tijuana Jail." Tickets are $35-$45 and available at www.stateth- eatreredbluff.com or Te- hama Country Visitor Cen- ter at 250 Antelope Blvd. in Red Bluff. KingstonTrioto perform Oct. 23 TheKingstonTrio STATETHEATRE When Expect More Te- hama started seven years ago, organizers asked the community to come along- side education and its driv- ing question remains: "What can we begin to do or put in place to raise ex- pectations and support youth in continuing their education and skills beyond high school?" Today, schools are less like islands and more a part of the community. In- dustry has joined with ed- ucation so student learning is more meaningful to fu- ture careers. Decisions are based on data and good in- formation. So many are pulling to- gether in the same direc- tion. Help set the course to- ward a strong, healthy com- munity by attending the eighth annual Expect More Tehama Summit scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, October 27 in the event center at Rolling Hills Casino. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. RSVP by Oct. 26 to schandler@rollinghillsca- sino.com or visit www.ex- pectmoretehama.com. EXPECT MORE TEHAMA Annual education summit set for Corning Findusonline! I have no one to blame but myself for the fact that our boys grew up fa- voring Hal- loween over all other holidays, with the possible ex- ception of Christmas. From the time they could walk, I poured my heart and soul into mak- ing sure they had the best costumes. One year they were Popeye's-a-Pair (two tiny boys dressed identi- cally as the sailor). Other years we did a magician, ninja, hobo, gangster and, of course, an array of su- per heroes. The boys are both adults now. While I as- sumed this costume thing would wind down, not long ago I found myself creating Luigi of the Ma- rio Brothers, and let me tell you, it looked fantas- tic. Just this week, I was reminded how far we've come with costumes, and I don't necessar- ily mean that in a good way. I'm talking about the fact that it costs at least $200 to become an authentic Kylo Ren, the villain of the most re- cent Star Wars film. My friend's husband is se- riously contemplating this, and I understand that $200 might be a low estimate to get an authentic hooded cape, robe, belt, gloves, voice- changing mask, elec- tronic lightsaber and boots. When I heard about this I had only one thing to say: Ack! Even that got stuck in my throat. Here's the problem I see with going the pricey route (learn this well, because it's a tac- tic you could use with your kids): There will be too many Kylo Rens this year. Imagine showing up to a party only to see triple of your disguised self. It won't matter who's the most authen- tic. Quantity will dimin- ish quality; you will be reduced to one of many. The way to avoid this is to be unique and clever. Be one of a kind. Be cheap! With these con- siderations, several ideas come to mind. STATIC CLING. Wear any clothing that's a solid color — all white or even all black. With safety pins attach items to yourself, such as socks (no match- ing pairs allowed), under- wear and dryer sheets. Spray your hair straight up in the air, and you're good to go. MISS AMERICA. Bring out an old bridesmaid dress or prom dress (and you thought you'd never wear it again). Add a pair of gloves, a tiara, some oversized jewelry and heels. For the banner, write your title of choice in glitter on a wide white ribbon. 1960s HIPPIE. This one is difficult because the style has curiously re- turned these days, mak- ing us wonder what is real and what is costume. Still, it's a worthy con- tender. You'll want tie-dye clothing, a long wig, san- dals, a headband, any- thing with fringe (vest, purse, etc.), pale-colored sunglasses — you get the picture. THE ALL-AMERI- CAN TOURIST. Guys can wear a loud Hawaiian T- shirt, shorts (if weather permits) and a large straw hat. Gals can wear a bright-colored dress, flats, a big sun hat and a straw bag. Don't forget to don a camera, maps and that "We're lost!" look. NERD. Slick back the hair, and grab pants that are too short, a white shirt, white socks, penny loafers (or lace-up oxfords), a pocket pro- tector with lots of pens, dark-rimmed glasses (don't forget to tape the nose piece) and a brief- case. This year, use what you've got to make a cos- tume. And if all else fails, there's always a ghost. In the midst of all of those authentic but pricey get- ups, you'll definitely be unique. Whatever you decide, the good news is you've got time. Halloween is still weeks away. And don't forget, I'd love to see pictures. Wouldyouliketosend a tip to Mary?

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE Low-cost costumes: Go cheap this Halloween The Bureau of Recla- mation has made avail- able for public review and comment the Draft Envi- ronmental Impact State- ment for the Long-Term Plan to Protect Adult Salmon in the Lower Klamath River. The Draft EIS de- scribes the environmen- tal effects of the No-Ac- tion and Action Alterna- tives to augment flows in the Lower Klamath River to reduce the likelihood and the severity of any Ich epizootic event that could lead to an associ- ated fish die-off in future years, 2017-2030. An open house and pub- lic hearing to solicit com- ments will be held 5:30- 8:30 p.m., with the hearing 6:30-8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 9 at the Holiday Inn, 1900 Hilltop Drive in Red- ding. Crowded holding condi- tions for pre-spawn adults, warm water temperatures and the presence of disease pathogens are the likely major factors contributing to the adult salmon mor- talities. The proposed in- creased flows would be provided primarily from releases of water stored in Trinity Reservoir on the main stem of the Trinity River. The Draft EIS was pre- pared in accordance with the National Environ- mental Policy Act and is available at http://www. usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_ projdetails.cfm?Project_ ID=22021.

ELECTION Mo nd ay i s de ad li ne t o reg is te r to v ot e No v. 8 With cooler tempera- tures just around the cor- ner, Pacific Gas and Elec- tric Co. is reminding cus- tomers to schedule a free in-home safety inspection of their gas appliances. Inspections help ensure that gas appliances, includ- ing water heaters, furnaces and ovens, are operating safelyandefficiently.During the visit, PG&E will relight pilot lights and check car- bon monoxide detectors at no charge to the customer. Properly installed and maintained natural gas ap- pliances can significantly reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Ac- cording to the Center for Disease Control, every year in the U.S. at least 430 peo- ple die from accidental car- bon monoxide poisoning and some 50,000 people will be sent to the hospital. If unsafe concentrations of carbon monoxide are pres- ent but not detected, the result can be fatal. "Each year, we offer cus- tomers this service free of charge to help them pre- pare for the safe use of gas appliances during the colder months. As custom- ers, we should take ev- ery precaution to make sure our homes and busi- ness are safe. Setting up a safety check with PG&E is easy and one way to maxi- mize the efficiency of your in-home appliances and most importantly, to re- duce risks of carbon mon- oxide poisoning," said Je- sus Soto, PG&E senior vice president of Gas Op- erations. To help provide peace of mind and confidence in the safe use of their gas appli- ances, PG&E suggests that customers schedule an in- spection by calling the cus- tomer helpline at 1-800- 743-5000. Wintergassafety Install carbon mon- oxide detectors to warn when concentration levels are high. As of 2011, all Califor- nia single-family homes are required to have car- bon monoxide detectors. Make sure all carbon monoxide detectors are in- stalled near sleeping areas and common areas and re- place the batteries at least twice a year. Most carbon monoxide detectors have a shelf life of five to seven years. Never use products in- side the home that gen- erate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, such as generators, outdoor grills, propane heaters. Never use cooking devices such as ovens or stoves for home heating purposes. If you ever smell natu- ral gas in or around a home or business call 9-1-1 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
