EC reader Beth has a great suggestion that will please everyone, even the kids. BALANCED TOY INVENTORY. A family friend had a great system that avoided too many toys no longer being played with. Their children knew that each year after their birthday and Christmas there would be a count of the new toys they received as gifts. They would then go to their rooms and find the same number of toys they no longer played with, to give away. Of the toys they picked, one could be put away and kept in a memory box. As a family, they would take the toys to a local charity where they would donate them. Doing this each year helped to keep their house less cluttered, and the kids learned a valuable lesson about making choices and allowing other children to benefit from things they had once enjoyed. -- Beth, email SWEET SKIN CARE. I have a great home recipe for exfoliant that uses what I have in my pantry. I mix equal amounts of honey and cornmeal, and apply to my face, elbows and heels. It leaves my skin feeling wonderful, and it smells nice, too. - Lee, email RUBBER BAND GRIP. Instead ing, I faced a tough job cleaning of using those rubbery disks to the dried-on pancake batter in a open jars, I simply put a rub- bowl.

Crash The driver was uninjured, but a powerbox was damaged, causing loss of phone and internet to residents in the McCoy Road area following a rollover crash at 2:25 p.m. Monday. Brigette Cook, 30, of Red Bluff was driving a Ford Explorer south in the 14000 block of McCoy Road when for unknown reasons she allowed the Ford to drift right, running off the road edge where it hit an AT&T utility box. The impact caused the Ford to roll over coming to rest blocking the southbound traffic lane. The Ford sustained major damage. Fire The cause of the fire reported at 8:44 a.m. Monday in the 18000 block of Ridge Road is undetermined. The double-wide mobile sustained $100,000 damage to the structure and contents with a $5,000 save. The fire was contained at 9:41 a.m. Red Bluff Fire, CalFire and Tehama County Fire responded. Fraud Police contacted a Red Bluff resident Monday for a fraud report and learned the woman had made arraignments to buy an airline ticket from a "Denise Wisee," an unknown person in the Sacramento area, through a Craigslist posting. The victim wired money to another woman on behalf of Denise Wisee. When the victim tried to confirm the flight, she learned that the ticket had originally been purchased with a stolen credit card and had subsequently been declined. In a huff Someone at the Burger King on Route 99W in Corning reported two men who appear to be transients were huffing aerosol cans. A citation was issued. Nothing further was available. Thefts ��� Police responded to Raley���s Monday regarding a shoplifter. Upon arrival, officers contacted a 16-year-old boy, who was being detained by Raley���s staff.

The 16-year-old boy was taken to Tehama County Juvenile Hall and booked for petty theft. ��� Someone on Colusa Street in Corning reported Monday afternoon that two trash cans with recyclables were missing from the front yard.
