Rodriguez was driving south in the fast lane when, due to her level of marijua- na induced intoxication, she let her vehicle drift into the center divider. She swerved right, over cor- rected, went across both lanes and off the shoulder, going down an embank- ment where the vehicle rolled twice and came to rest on its left side. Fires • CalFire responded at 9:03 a.m. Saturday to a res- idential structure fire on Olive Road in Richfield. The fire, which did $1,000 damage to the residence, was extinguished by the occupant and originated near a fish tank. The cause was an electrical malfunc- tion of an extension cord near the fish tank. • CalFire was called at 9:13 a.m. Saturday to check an extinguished electrical fire on Wannatoddy Lane in the Paskenta area. Smoke was traced back to an elec- trical short in the stove. The fire did $50 damage to the stove. • According to Sheriff’s Department logs, deputies and CalFire responded Sun- day to reports of a bonfire in the Trinity parking lot at the Tehama District Fair- ground and found 15 people and a bonfire.

Through a CSA, consumers choose to buy shares in a local farm and then receive portions of the farm's produce once it is har- vested. In some areas, CSAs have become so popular that there are waiting lists to join. One of the draws is the chance to buy locally produced food. That means food that tastes better because it has not been genetically altered, harvested prematurely or infused with chemi- cals that make it able to withstand a long journey from the farm to your table. Members of CSAs eat seasonal- ly, and they eat very fresh produce. Whether they are organic or not, locally grown fruits and vegetables are fresher and therefore better for you, experts tell us. Some studies show that the vita- mins, minerals and antioxidants that make fresh produce so nutri- tious begin breaking down soon after the fruits and vegetables are picked. So a tomato that was picked six weeks ago, trucked in from Mexico and shelved at the gro- cery for a week has nowhere near the nutritious content that a tomato picked fresh from the vine this week does. Here's how a CSA works: Members pay dues, which buy shares of a farm. These dues go directly to pay for seeds, fertilizer, water, equip- ment and labor. Then the harvest is divided among shareholders. Costs vary widely from one CSA to another, depending on regional location and other factors. Eatwell Farm, which services San Francisco and its surrounding area, charges monthly. Members of the Eatwell CSA can choose to receive boxes of produce weekly, every two weeks or monthly. They also can choose to receive six or a dozen eggs or no eggs at all. For about $140 a month, or roughly $35 a week, a family can receive boxes of seasonal produce and 12 eggs Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate weekly. The federal govern- ment recently reported that there are 12,549 farms participating in community-supported agriculture in the United States. Local Harvest has undertaken the massive project of collecting a database of all of them. Keep in mind that CSAs are grass-roots entities, so each is unique. The best way to find a good one is by getting a rec- ommendation from someone in your commu- nity. To get started, go to www.LocalHarvest.org. Search Local Harvest's network by typing in your ZIP code. Before you join a CSA, find out exactly what produce you can expect in your box and when. Also find out what happens if you are unhappy with the produce after you join. If you pay month to month, make sure you can cancel easily. If you pay a one-time annual member- ship fee, find out whether it is refundable. Rotary offers free alarm testing, free detectors As part of a community- wide fire prevention effort, members of the Red Bluff Rotary will be visiting local residents on Saturday, April 24 to perform free smoke detector inspec- tions, replacing batteries as needed and installing free smoke detectors as needed. Roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke detectors or no smoke detectors that work. Most victims are children and seniors. Cal Fire has donated the smoke detectors so that with the help of the Red Bluff Rotary lives can be saved. Residents who wish to take advantage of this free service should call Tehama County Public Health at 527-6824 to schedule a home visit. Bud’s
