RED BLUFF — The Whitt Hall Fire Museum will open its doors and host tours during a special event. Retired Fire Captain and Curator of the Whitt Hall Fire Museum, Dom Catona, will give tours on Saturday, March 8, from 10 to 2 p.m. Catona recently invited Tehama County Genealogical & Historical Society members, followers and the general public to view the museum and hear its history in Red Bluff. People of all ages are welcome. Antique fire trucks will also be on display. Catona has a goal of re-opening the museum to visitors on a regular basis. The firehouse has been a staple of Red Bluff since 1906. It was the home of Engine Company No. 2. When built, it had four stalls for horses and “two box stalls for the fiery steeds,” which were on duty ready to haul the apparatus to fires. According to historical records, the upstairs was fitted as a meeting room, and there was a hayloft. The Whitt Hall Fire Museum is at 835 Cedar St. in Red Bluff.

I can’t help but dream this time of the year. It’s the thick of winter, you see, which means I’m spending hours huddled in my home office getting a million tax details in order for my CPA. And I’m dreaming of tax simplification. President Trump has shared a bold vision to potentially replace the income tax entirely in favor of tariffs. Though I can’t imagine that ever happening, he has also promised to simplify tax filing to such a degree that “nine out of 10 Americans will be able to file their taxes on a single, little, beautiful sheet of paper.” Could tax filing become as simple as it was for my father in 1959? My dad kept a work draft of his return that he filled out in pencil, then completed the final version in ink before sending it to the IRS. I still can’t believe how simple his tax form was. In 1959, he paid a measly 5 percent in federal taxes. Though the top income tax rate was 91 percent that year — President Kennedy would slash rates a few years later

When I wake up and after starting my morning coffee, I walk through my house room-by-room to greet the many members of the green kingdom that share my home. Yes, I garden. The Peace Lily, Angel Wing Begonia, Crossandra, Boston Fern, and Norfolk Island Pine all enjoy their morning mist; the little Rat Tail Cactus eyeing me with disdain as I move past, mister in hand. The Norfolk Island Pine is the most recent addition to my household, acquired the week after Christmas when living trees are plentiful and generously marked down at the local retail store. Since he is quite slow-growing and currently only 20 inches tall, I take him to the kitchen sink, relieve him of his drip pan and turn the faucet on low and cold for a drink while misting from above, simulating a moist, sub-tropical environment. Visually, the water drips gently from the holes in the bottom of the planter, ensuring the tree drains well in porous soil. The soil should be kept damp but not soggy. The Australian or Norfolk Pine is softly textured with flowing foliage that grows

This week, as I reached into the mailbag, I pulled out two questions, neither of them with easy answers. I was tempted to set them aside and try again, but I decided to tackle both, knowing that my letter-writers are not the only ones facing these kinds of financial situations. Dear Mary: If my parents are in debt and they die, who pays the bills? I am terrified of inheriting my parents’ debts. — Bethany Dear Bethany: First, let me be clear that I am not an attorney, so what follows is my opinion. When a person dies, creditors can only look to his or her estate (the assets that person owned upon his or her death) for the payment of debts. If the debts are shared legally with another person still living, as in the case of a spouse in a community property state, or someone else who can sign on the account, that person may be responsible for part or all of the debt. Having said that, generally, unless you are a cosigner with your parents on their credit cards and other debts

LUBBOCK, Texas — An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first death associated with an outbreak in the western part of the state that has infected more than 100 people. Lubbock city spokesperson Lauren Adams confirmed the death to ABC News on Wednesday. In a press release, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) said the child was hospitalized in the northwestern city of Lubbock last week and tested positive for measles. As of Wednesday, 124 cases of measles have been confirmed associated with the outbreak, according to data from DSHS. Almost all of the cases are in unvaccinated individuals or individuals whose vaccination status is unknown, and 18 people have been hospitalized so far, DSHS said. Children and teenagers between ages 5 and 17 make up the majority of cases with 62, followed by 39 cases among children ages 4 and under. The outbreak began in Gaines County, which has become the epicenter, with 80 cases confirmed among residents, according to DSHS. The outbreak has since spread to several counties in the region and is “suspected” to have spread

Thursday, February 27, 2025 6:16AM Host Conan O’Brien plans to set right tone on Oscar Sunday, using humor while addressing LA fires LOS ANGELES — The Eaton and Palisades fires will be acknowledged during the Oscar ceremony on Sunday. It’s personal to host Conan O’Brien, whose assistant lost her home in Altadena. “The Oscars is a show that is very much a hometown show. It’s a Los Angeles show, so what’s happened here needs to be addressed,” O’Brien said while wearing a shirt that read Altadena. “It’s a celebration of hard work that’s been done by many people.” O’Brien thinks the Oscars should lift people up and get people back to work. “There’s a needle to thread, there’s a line to walk, and I’m determined to do that correctly,” he said. “But I want to make sure there’s humor, that we have some fun, and that we have some joy.” O’Brien was asked about a promotional poster that sees him transformed into an Oscar statue. “Isn’t it cool? I can say that because it wasn’t my idea,” laughed O’Brien. “All I’ve ever wanted to do

By MARCIA DUNN, Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A private company launched another lunar lander Wednesday, aiming to get closer to the moon’s south pole this time with a drone that will hop into a jet-black crater that never sees the sun. Intuitive Machines’ lander, named Athena, caught a lift with SpaceX from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. It’s taking a fast track to the moon — with a landing on March 6 — while hoping to avoid the fate of its predecessor, which tipped over at touchdown. Never before have so many spacecraft angled for the moon’s surface all at once. Last month, U.S. and Japanese companies shared a rocket and separately launched landers toward Earth’s sidekick. Texas-based Firefly Aerospace should get there first this weekend after a big head start. The two U.S. landers are carrying tens of millions of dollars’ worth of experiments for NASA as it prepares to return astronauts to the moon. “It’s an amazing time. There’s so much energy,” NASA’s science mission chief Nicky Fox told The Associated Press a few hours ahead of the launch. This isn’t
