Do you have any tips for washing dark colors inexpensively? -- Avis T., e- mail Dear Avis: Follow these steps and you can wash your dark clothes with the same laundry detergent you use for your whites and brights. 1. Inside out. Washing and dry- ing are tough on the outside sur- faces of the items and cause dark colors to become dull and rough, so wash and dry colored items inside out. If you hang these items in the sun to dry, leave them inside out. Sun is brutal on colors. 2. Cold water. If you want to pre- vent your colored clothing from fading, wash it in cold water. Deter- gents have come a long way in the past several years, and most do as well in cold water as they do in hot or warm water. The warmer the water the likelier it is to pull color from the fibers and wash it down the drain. 3. Short cycle. You want colored laundry items to spend as little time as possible exposed to water and detergent. That means no soaking and a short wash cycle, no longer than six minutes. That is plenty of time to get those dark items clean. 4. Under-dry. Over-dry- ing can cause colors to fade. Pull clothes from the dryer or the line while they are still slightly damp. 5. Use vinegar. Add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle of your bright or dark colors to help "set" the colors and to prevent premature fad- ing. Dear Mary: Can you explain the difference between a contingency fund and a freedom account? -- Beth B., e- mail Dear Beth: Your con- Mary Hunt tingency fund is a pool of money that you keep in a safe place for a dire emergency. It should be enough to pay all of your bills and living expenses for six months with no paychecks. Every household needs a contingency fund. Your freedom account is a sepa- rate checking account that you open in your bank or credit union and designate to be your freedom Everyday Cheapskate account. The purpose of your FA is to help you to turn your irregular and unexpected expenses into pre- dictable monthly expenses. It's like a Christmas club account, if you remember what that is. I'll use auto mainte- nance as an example of an irregular expense. Statistics say it costs about $765 per year to maintain and repair a car. You anticipate this with your FA. Divide $765 by 12 to get $65. Treat this as a new monthly expense by depositing $65 into your FA. Now when you need tires down the road, the money will be there in your FA to pay for them. Do this for all of your irregular expenses and you'll break free from dependence on credit. Do you have a question for Mary?

Campground renovations starting today Beginning today, Mill Valley Campground will be unavailable to the pub- lic due to construction and renovation activities. Weather permitting, the campground is sched- uled to reopen Saturday, May 1. New fire-rings, tables and barriers will be installed in April. Forest Service personnel and CalFire conservation crews are assisting with the project. Mill Valley Camp- ground is on the Grind- The California Department of Fish and Game completed and filed the Hatchery and Stocking Program Environmental Impact Report/Envi- ronmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) on Jan. 11. A link to approved waters for DFG stocking can be found here http://dfg.ca.gov/fish/Hatcheries/Fish Planting/Evaluation.asp. It will be updated as pre-stocking assessments are completed and plantings are scheduled. DFG will continue work to imple- ment mitigation measures and moni- toring protocols identified in the EIR/EIS to reduce stocking impacts to native species. Before being stocked, each California water body will be evaluated to determine whether stock- ing can take place there with little or no impact to native species. 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.

Covered in the EIR/EIS are the operation of hatcheries (both those owned and operated by DFG and those that are not), stocking of those fish, issuance of private stocking per- mits, the Fishing in the City Program and the Classroom Aquarium Educa- tion Program. Measures already taken by DFG to mitigate past stocking-related impacts were also included in the document.

Fish and Game seeks comment on hatchery and stocking trout. Since 1998, DFG has been removing previously stocked hatch- ery trout from dozens of frog habitats, eliminated stocking in waters with existing frog populations and selec- tively planted areas where the frog is not present, and where stocking improves angling. The final EIR/EIS is the culmina- tion of a two and a half year effort to evaluate and analyze impacts of fish stocking on certain California native species. The review was ordered by the Sacramento Superior Court in July 2007, in response to a lawsuit by the Pacific Rivers Council and the Center for Biological Diversity. DFG’s filing of this document addresses the requirements the Cali- fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in accordance with the court order. railroad tracks.
