The clerk stated that without the number, she would be unable to give me a quote. Some companies ask for it as a second form of identification. When is it appropriate to give your Social Security number, and when is it inappropriate and risky to give this information? -- Thomas W., Illinois Dear Thomas: Anybody can ask for your Social Security number, but that doesn't mean you have to give it out. When a company asks for your number even though it is not authorized by law to have it, you should ask these questions: Why do you need my Social Secu- rity number? How is my number going to be used? What laws require me to give you my SSN? What are the consequences if I refuse to provide you with my SSN? Are there any alternative numbers I can use to obtain this ser- vice? You should be able to give an alternative source to identify your- self, such as the last four digits of your SSN or your driver's license number. According to the Social Security Administration, there are specific laws that require a person to pro- vide his or her SSN for certain purposes. In general, an SSN is required by the Internal Revenue Service for tax returns; the Department of the Treasury for U.S. savings bonds; employers for wage- and tax-reporting purposes; banks for monetary transactions; the Depart- ment of Labor for work- ers' compensation; the Department of Education for student loans; states to administer taxes; gen- eral public assistance; and states for child sup- port enforcement and for services such as com- mercial driver's licenses, food stamps, Medicaid, unemployment compen- sation and the Temporary Assis- tance for Needy Families program. Dear Mary: I've come to trust the great advice you give us day to day. So before going out to buy cleaners for my travertine floor and granite counters, I wanted to hear your sug- gestions. I've searched, and of course, I get the advertisers claim- ing their products are best. I prefer products that are as "natural" as possible. Any advice? -- Araceli M., California Dear Araceli: Both marble and Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate travertine, as beautiful as they are, can be tricky to maintain. Any kind of product that is acidic will dull the shine, and some things can cause the colors to darken over time. That being said, do not use Windex, vine- gar, bleach, Lime-A-Way, ammonia or lemon juice to clean those surfaces. All will dull the shine over time. For general cleaning, use non-citrus liquid dish- washing soap and water. Original blue Dawn is ideal. To remove a stain, make a paste of 1 table- spoon of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Cover the stain, and allow the paste to sit until it's dry, or about an hour. Then remove the dried paste, and rinse with clear water. Buff it dry. To make the marble and travertine shine, buff with dry cornstarch and a soft clean cloth. Do you have a question for Mary?

Local fami- lies are invited to come together for Red Bluff’s annual One Minute Hug at 12:10 p.m. Monday, July 19, at the Cone & Kimball clock tower, on the corner of Main and Walnut streets. This free event is part of Global Hug Your Kids Day, which was started by a Reno mother in 2008. The celebration will be short, and is expected to be over by 12:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to be on time and ready to celebrate the love of a child. The event will conclude with a bal- loon launch. This year’s event is hosted by local success coach Faydra Rector, MA, owner of Faydra and Company. Rector is hoping to highlight the fact that in recent years Tehama County has seen a large number of chil- dren and young adults who have had untimely deaths. Faydra and Com- pany is dedicating this year’s event to those chil- dren; highlighting the importance of hugging your children every day as if it were your last. “The focus of the ‘Hug Your Kids Day’ project is simple — to encourage all working mothers and fathers to forget the crazy idea of ‘work-life balance,’” said Michelle Nichols, the founder of Global Hug Your Kids Day. “Instead, 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.
