You'll be surprised at what you can do yourself at no cost. 1. Use what you've got. I have a friend who calls herself a professional arranger. People hire her to come to their homes and "redecorate" with the things they have. She goes through every room, cupboard and closet, taking inven- tory of everything available for her final designs. Then she completely clears the room and starts from scratch to furnish and decorate with only the things that she found in the home. The results are amazing. 2. Paint is cheap. Changing the color of one wall can change the entire mood and look of that room. One quart of paint is all you need. You can fool the eye with the way you use paint, making a room appear larger or smaller just by the choice of color. Cool colors and lighter tints make walls look farther apart; rich, dark colors bring walls dramatically closer, creating an inti- mate look in a large room. 3. Strategic placement. The fur- niture you use most should be far- thest from the entrance. If possible, avoid positioning couches, chairs, dining tables and desks against walls. Give yourself at least three feet between the furni- ture and walls. 4. Pictures and art. Most people hang pic- tures and art too high. The focal point for a single pic- ture or the center of a group of pictures should be at eye level for a per- son who is 5 feet 7 inch- es tall. 5. Groups of pic- tures. How you group and hang pictures on your walls makes all the difference between a room that is boring and one that is inviting. Gather the pictures you want to hang in a par- ticular group. Then get a piece of paper that's the size of the area where you will hang these pictures, and lay it on the floor. Arrange the frames on the paper the way you want them hung on the wall. Use a marker to draw around each item. Remove the pictures, and tape the paper to the wall. Now you easily can see where to put each nail. Once the nails are in place, care- fully pull the paper away, and hang the pictures in their proper places. 6. Plants. Select plants that are right for the light available in the areas where you want to display them. Easy growers that don't require a lot of extra care include philodendrons and Boston ferns. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate 7. Do it yourself. Whether it's making slip- covers, painting a wall or ceiling, or laying tile, you'll save a ton of money when you can do it yourself. Search online, or take a class at your local home center. Typically, these are free or you pay only for the cost of materials. The parks and recreation departments of many cities also offer low-cost classes, as do community colleges and universities.

Upper Lake OHV trail system closed The Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail system on the Upper Lake Ranger District of the Mendocino National Forest is closed to vehicle traffic through Thursday, April 8. The closure order covers only the Upper Lake Ranger District and is scheduled to lift the morning of Friday, April 9, conditions permitting. The OHV trails on the Grindstone Ranger District are still open. The closure is the result of rain and snow this week that have left trails muddy and, in some places, covered by more than a foot of snow. Additional storm systems in the current forecast are predicted to bring more rain and snow to the Upper Lake Ranger District and trail system. Using the trails in their current condition would result in damage not only to the trails, but would also impact 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 • Michael Andrew Roberts, 24, of Red Bluff was arrested Friday in the 1700 block of El Cerrito Drive.

Bail was set at $50,000. • Michael Roy Shires, 31, of Gerber was arrested Friday at the Tehama County Department of Social Services.

He had started two vehicles in the yard and it is believed he was going to remove them. It was later learned He is the owner of the vehicles, which were towed by law enforcement in previous weeks. He was booked for the felony charge of attempted grand theft. Bail was set at $12,500. • Roger Lee Hayden, Jr., 39, of Red Bluff was arrested Sunday near Crit- tenden and Jefferson streets.

Bail was set at $25,000. • Kevin John Johnston, 32, of Red Bluff was arrested Saturday. He was being held at Tehama County Jail for involve- ment in a vehicle theft earlier in the day when an investigation by the Sher- iff’s Department, using ATM receipts and video recordings, identified him as a the suspect in a theft from his father’s house. Johnston’s father had reported to deputies that his wallet had been taken from his locked vehicle at his residence when unknown persons entered the garage, found keys to the truck and entered it.

Collisions • Ovie Hayes, 62, of Cottonwood was the only injury in a three car colli- sion at 3:22 p.m. on Bow- man Road, west of Inter- state 5. Hayes had minor injuries, but sought her own aid. She was driving behind Tammy Williamson, 46, who was behind David Hartman, 43, both of Cottonwood, east on Bowman. Hartman slowed for traffic ahead. Williamson saw him slow, but was unable to avoid rear-ending Hartman. Hayes saw Williamson stopping, but was unable to avoid rear-ending her. Both Hartman and Williamson’s vehicles received minor damage. Hayes’ vehicle had moderate damage. • A 2001 Honda Civic was left behind following a collision at 4:20 p.m. Fri- day on Forward Road, east of Manton School Road. The driver, described as a woman in her mid-20s, was going west on For- ward Road at an unknown speed when she failed to negotiate a left-hand curve and lost control, sliding across the eastbound lane and off the south roadway. The vehicle, which had major damage, hit a large rock, rolled over and came to rest on its right side blocking the east bound lane. • Three men were injured in a two-car colli- sion at 9:35 p.m. Friday in the intersection of Edith and Gallagher avenues. John Capistrand, 28, of Red Bluff was driving north on Edith about 60 mph, nearing the intersec- tion with Gallagher and Jay Briseno, 26, of Corn- ing was driving east on Gallagher about 35 mph. Capistrand didn’t stop at the stop sign and entered the intersection directly into the path of Briseno. The impact caused Capis- trand’s vehicle to spin into an olive orchard, hitting a tree. Briseno’s vehicle came to rest in the north- east corner of the intersec- tion. Capistrand, Briseno and Briseno’s passenger Jose Garibay, 23, of Corn- ing, were taken to St. Eliz- abeth Community Hospital for moderate injuries. The vehicles both had major damage. Crashes • An unknown driver in a 1994 Dodge Stealth drove into a ditch and hit a block wall at 10:50 p.m. Sunday while trying to turn onto Barham Avenue from Liberal Avenue.
