I described how I wash everything from baseball hats to car mats in my favorite home appliance. Reader letters flooded in. Some conveyed horror at the thought of washing anything other than dishes this way. Others vowed to experiment with their own dishwash- ers. But most responders shared their own unique ways of using this kitchen device to get some surprising jobs done. TREE TRIMMING. I once washed my artificial Christmas tree in the dishwasher by taking the top rack out. The tree had gotten a little grungy from storage in the shed. My experimental cleaning method worked well, except that I was pick- ing loose "needles" out of my dish- washer for ages. -- Cathy T., Pennsyl- vania STORM STRENGTH. Here in hurricane country, it is recommended that you stick all your important papers in freezer bags and put them in the dishwasher when a storm is approaching. The home appliance is heavy, attached to the house and waterproof, which makes it easy to find after a storm. -- Mark H., Florida EXTREME CLEANING. I once saw a dishwasher soap advertisement with the image of a crystal chan- delier in the dishwasher. That's what prompted me to try washing my synthetic horse harness that way. It worked! I did not add detergent. All it took was water to remove a year's worth of horse sweat and grunge. I removed the harness before the heat cycle. I would not do it frequently or use this method with leather tack, but it's worth it before a show when I am pooped with all the other preparations! -- Marty B., e-mail Mary Hunt APPLIANCE COL- LIDE. I put the lint trap for my dryer on the top shelf of my dishwasher to get the dryer sheet residue off. It works really well! -- Barbara U., e-mail HONEY HOPE. If your jar of honey has crystallized, make sure the lid is screwed on tightly and then run it through a normal dish- washer cycle. That easily returns the honey to its normal state. It is so much easier than soaking it in hot water, which never worked for me. Everyday Cheapskate -- Elizabeth L., Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Debt- ProofLiving) FILTER FAVOR. My husband is an appliance repairman. He recom- mends cleaning out all filters and drains in your dishwash- er thoroughly and regularly. Many of the calls he makes are for appliance repairs that could have been avoided had the filters been cleaned out. - - Lisa G., e-mail HAND-WASH HELP. I do not have a dishwasher, so I wash all my dishes by hand. I add about 1/2 tea- spoon of baking soda to my dishwashing water to cut the grease. Then I add about 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the hot rinse water to remove lingering soap. The soda and vinegar help to make my glassware and dishes really shine! -- Mary J., Arkansas Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Burn season suspension in force Thursday Due to the menace of wildfires and their potential to destroy life and Property, the Tehama-Glenn Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal- Fire) and the Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) will suspend debris burning for the eastside of the county, which includes the communities of Mineral, Childs Meadows, Deer Creek and Mill Creek on July 1 until the end of sum- mer preparedness staffing levels. The burn ban for the rest of Tehama County went into effect June 1. In addition, CalFire will suspend debris burn- ing within the State Responsibility Area (SRA) within Glenn County on July 1, until the end of summer prepared- ness levels. Agricultural, forest management and other industrial type burning may proceed if an authorized fire official inspects the area and issues a special permit.

Experience has shown that suspending burning is an effective way of preventing wildfire escapes, especially as Tehama County enters a period of hotter and drier weather. Although all fires cannot be prevented through a burning suspension, the number of fires can be reduced. CalFire would like to again remind homeowners that this is the time that they can help protect their homes and fami- lies, as well as firefighters, by providing 100 feet of defen- sible space around all structures.

Crash • A crash at 4 a.m. Tuesday on Highway 99E, south of Salt Creek Road sent one Red Bluff man to the hospital with moderate injuries. William Bishop, 36, was traveling north on 99E when for unknown rea- sons he allowed his vehi- cle to run off the road where it hit two trees before rolling over. The vehicle had major dam- age. Collision • A two-car collision at 9:35 p.m. Sunday on southbound Interstate 5, two miles north of the Tehama/Glenn County line left three injured. Alvin Pond, 48, of Hay- ward was driving south in the slow lane just ahead of Patricia Gunness, 56, of Orland driving south in the fast lane about 60 mph.

Gunness was flown to Enloe Medical Center in Chico with minor injuries while her passenger Robert Gunness, 61, of Orland was taken by ambulance to Enloe for moderate injuries.
