We have two cars, a 2008 model with a monthly payment of $350 and an older car with a monthly payment of $270. My husband would like to trade the 2008 for a car with four doors. We believe we could get a lower payment on a new car because of the recession. How- ever, I am reluctant. I plan to quit my job after the baby is born. If we could trade his car in for a lower payment and still get a four-door model, would that be a good finan- cial decision? A lower car payment would help make the transition eas- ier. -- Melanie C., Arkansas Dear Melanie: That would not be a good decision. Look, in a few months, your lives are going to change in ways you cannot imag- ine. Your expenses are going to soar while your income takes a dive. The number of car doors you have is so not important in light of your cur- rent $620 combined car payments. You need to sell the better of the two cars to lose its monthly pay- ment and all of its related expenses of insurance, registration, gasoline, maintenance and repairs. That will be a start in getting your expenses below single-income. Contrary to popular belief, a stay-at- home mom does not require a car. It takes planning and coordination, but you can become a single-car family. I wish you well as you enter this new and excit- ing chapter of your lives. Dear Mary: I am a longtime reader of this column and have tried many of your sugges- tions, from Nok-Out for odors to baking my own bread. Now I have a question. My fiance and I inherited a set of cast- iron pans from his grand- mother. They are rusted. How can we return them to their former glory, or are they lost forever? -- Lisa Z., Ohio the rust is gone, wash the pans in hot soap and water, rinsing well. Dry them quickly by setting them on a hot burner. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Lisa: This is easy! Pour 2 tablespoons each of table salt and vegetable oil into the middle of a pan. Using a sponge or cloth (or steel wool, for severe situations), scrub the rusty areas vigorously. You may need to add more salt to get a good, gritty compound. Once Then you will need to re-season the pans. Lightly coat all surfaces, except the bottom that touches a stove burner, with vegetable oil. Put the pans in a 250-degree oven for an hour. Re-coat the surfaces, and leave them in the oven for another 30 minutes. Wipe any excess oil, and allow them to cool. Your pans should be as good as new. In the future, do not wash them with soap. Just scrub them with salt and oil, and then rinse them and allow them to dry completely over low heat before storing them. Do you have a question for Mary?

Great Sierra River Cleanup set Volunteer registration for the Second Annual Great Sierra River Cleanup is open with the launch of a new website that enables users to easily connect to a water- shed cleanup site of their choice. The site is at www.sierranevada.ca.gov, where visi- tors can click on the Great Sierra River Cleanup logo for information about registration, the purpose of the event and pictures and details from last year’s cleanup. “The first Great Sierra River Cleanup was a tremen- dous success last year, and early indications suggest we could double the number of participants this year and cover just about every watershed in the Sierra,” said Sierra Nevada Conservancy Executive Officer Jim Branham. “With 65 percent of California’s water com- ing from the Sierra, it’s exciting to see so many neigh- bors and friends joining in to practice good stewardship of this valuable resource.” The cleanup is scheduled 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 25. The event is held in partnership with the California Coastal Cleanup Day — now in its 26th year — mak- ing it the largest one-day volunteer effort in California. In the Sierra alone last year, some 3,500 volunteers from more than 100 community groups removed more than 130 tons of trash and recyclables from Sierra rivers. The effort spanned 20 counties and more than 500 river miles, netting appliances, cans, tires, furni- ture, cigarette butts and plastic waste. Interested volunteers can use a map on the site to locate a cleanup in their community and then pre-regis- ter with their local cleanup organization using the con- tact information provided. This event welcomes volun- teers of all ages and is a great opportunity for people to connect with their neighbors and their watershed. The list of participating organizations this year is still growing, and some of the sites are yet to be deter- mined. Individuals and organizations interested in coordinating their own cleanup are encouraged to get in touch with the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. For more information, call Brittany Juergenson at (530) 823- 4670 or go to the site. The cleanup is presented by the Sierra Nevada Con- servancy with major support from CalTrans’ “Don’t Trash California” litter prevention campaign and Waste Management, Inc. Additional support comes from The Pacific Forest and Watersheds Stewardship Council, Sierra Pacific Foundation, The Houston Group, Cali- fornia Ski Industry Association, Crystal Geyser and Nature’s Path. This event is made possible by the hard work of hun- dreds of local non-profits and government agencies throughout the state and thousands of volunteers annu- ally.
