GRAPE ICE. Frozen grapes work like ice cubes to chill white wine or other summer drinks, but without watering them down. And they look great, too. -- Des, email SUMMER FUN. A visit to our local library recently reminded me that public libraries across the nation often have free concerts, puppet shows and other programs in the summer. Many events are geared toward kids. And the price is right. Check your local library's website for information. -- Molly, Pennsylvania QUICK-RELEASE TRASH BAG. To avoid suction, which causes resistance, when removing bags from a trash can, drill a couple of holes in the bottom of the container. -- Bob, Kentucky ICE CREAM TRICK. For easier serving, cut ice cream with a knife. If serving ice cream from a round container, cut down the middle of the full container from top to bottom. Lay ice cream on its side, peel off the container and slice. -Suzie, Colorado NO-DRIP ICE PACK. For doit-yourself ice packs that don't drip, saturate a sponge with water, place it in a zip-type freezer bag, and freeze. Useable straight from the freezer. -- Sid, Germany Dear Readers: Last week, one of our reader-submitted tips had to paid $2.50 a pound of the original do with rinsing browned 5-pound package of 20-percent fat ground beef in a colander, content ground beef, then she is allowing the grease to throwing away at least $2.50.

A direct hand-line was started on the east flank of the Shelly Fire and a secondary line was continued up the ridge west of Sawyers Bar. Firefighters continued construction and reinforcement Tuesday of defense perimeters around structures in the Idlewild and Mule Bridge communities. Construction of the fire-lines east of the Shelly Fire continued. Smoke continued to limit aerial support. The Boulder and Shelly Fires are still separated by the Little North Fork drainage, but are expected to combine into one fire, the release said. Fire spread to the northeast is expected to be about three-quarters of a mile due to topography and southerly winds. The fire is expected to continue to spread onequarter of a mile to the southwest into Olsen Creek. All communities near the fire should expect to be impacted by smoke. Southerly winds are predicted for the next several days and may help improve air quality within the river corridor.
