But perhaps that's a good thing, because it helps me define in my own home what needs to be recycled and what must be thrown away right now. Assuming that you are not looking for excuses to hoard stuff that you never will need or use, I offer the following clever ways that readers have found to add second lives to things that otherwise might be thrown away prematurely. RECYCLED NAIL BRUSH. Rather than toss out a worn hand and nail brush, I kept it to clean tile and grout. It worked really well. The bristles, although a little worn, were still good enough to work with a lit- tle scrubbing. I liked it because, unlike the big brushes, it fit in my hand. Plus, my hand didn't get as tired. -- Maria, Georgia DISHWASHER RACK CADDY. Our 10-year-old dishwasher finally gave up. I decided the bottom rack with wheels would be good for putting stuff on and wheeling around. I currently have some plas- tic file baskets sitting on it, which I can move easily from one spot in my office to another. I also kept the silverware baskets from the dish- washer, thinking they might be handy for carrying utensils out to the barbecue area in our yard. They also make good holders of pencils and tools. There are endless uses for dishwasher parts. -- Carol, e-mail MICROWAVE PLATE REDO. I work at a recycling center where we get loads of microwave ovens, which are readily recy- cled. However, there's no market for the tempered glass microwave plates. Rather than throw them away, I place them on the "reuse" shelf at the cen- ter and encourage patrons to use them for cake or dessert plates, serving trays and plant stands. These tempered plates come in all sizes and many shapes. Maybe the best thing about using them is that when you make your favorite dessert to bring to a friend or neighbor, you don't have to worry about getting your good plate back. -- Marilyn, Texas POP-UP BAG STORAGE. Store plastic shopping bags in an empty tissue box. It holds quite a few and stores them neatly with easy pull access when you need one. -- A.M., British Columbia WATER BOTTLE PACKAG- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ING. Several years ago, I needed to ship a breakable item to a friend. To protect the item, I came up with the idea of using empty water bot- tles with lids. I stand them upright in the corners of the box and, if possible, line the bottom of the box with them, too. Then I layer some Bubble Wrap. I place a few bottles across the top of the item if I have extra space to fill. There is no room for the item to shift, which is excellent. One other benefit is that the box is much lighter with empty water bottles than it is with other pack- aging materials. I ship Pol- ish pottery and pack the boxes using this method. - - Sherry, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

What’s happening across the river “What’s Happening Across the River” is the topic for the presentation by Jeff Sutton, general manger of the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority, at the Sacramento River Discovery Center’s Thursday evening pro- gram on Oct. 21 at 7pm at the Center. Since the beginning of the construction of the new pumping facility, scheduled for completion by May, 2012, visitors to the SRDC and to the Red Bluff Recreation Area have heard the sounds and seen the moving of vast quantities of soil from its original location to higher ground. Sutton will provide information on plans for the numerous cubic yards of covered soil as well as updates on the progress of the pumping plant con- struction. He will share some of the challenges and success that have occurred thus far. There are only nineteen months remaining to complete the construction and be ready to permanently raise the Diversion Dam gates. The permanent raising of the gates will allow fish and people the ability to travel Courtesy photo “What’s Happening Across the River" the view from the SRDC at the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority’s Fish Passage Improvement Project Pumping Plant construction. the river from San Fran- cisco to the China Rapids area in northern Tehama County year round.
