It might sound a little silly, but I promise that putting a little fun into money management really does work, as evidenced by today's first reader tip. CREATIVE GAS CARD. I bud- get $40 per week for gas, and each week, I add that amount to my cash card. I use the cash card when I get gas. I'm never short when filling the tank, and if the balance on the card gets high enough, I plan to use it for a Christmas present at the end of the year. -- Barbara, Florida SECOND LIFE FOR RUGS. Once the rubber backing is gone on a rug, I toss it into the trunk of my car. During emergencies, such as having a flat tire, I rather would sit on a rug than on the ground. Old rugs are great for other uses, too. You can put one under messy stuff you're hauling, use one as a kneel- ing pad in the garden and use one to line a pet crate. -- Denise, Mary- land FRUIT FLY "DIP." I use a home- made mixture to get rid of pesky fruit flies and gnats. In a small dish, An important deadline is coming up for those who want to sign up for Fiscal Year 2011 Farm Bill conservation pro- grams. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) in Cali- fornia has set the deadline for Friday, Nov. 12. The deadline includes all California Environmental Quality Incentives Pro- gram (EQIP) and WIldlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) priorities, except the EQIP Organic Initiative which has a later deadline. In fiscal year 2010, California NRCS obligated over $75 million in EQIP funds for over 1,970 contracts and 1.1 million acres statewide. Howev- er, the number of applications received 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. Arrests • Sharon Ann Wilson, 56, of Red Bluff was arrested Monday in the 20200 block of King Road.

Bail was set at $35,000. • Joshua Rolin Coyle, 35, of Red Bluff was arrested Monday behind a residence in the 14000 block of Baker Road. He was booked into jail on the charge of criminal threats.

During the fight, Coyle placed Spliethof in a ‘bear hug’ and squeezed him and Spliethof and 35th Annual I mix together 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tea- spoons of sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Then I add a drop or two of dish soap. I place the dish anywhere the pests congregate. No pesticides or sticky tape to deal with. -- Stephanie, Missouri SHOUT OUT SCALDED MILK. My white enamel pan was left with scalded milk at the bottom. I tried everything to clean it, but it wasn't until I used liquid Shout that it got clean. I let the Shout sit for an hour in the pan, and the stuck-on milk came right off. -- Jo, Minnesota LOTION EXTEN- DER. I buy an inexpensive lotion and add a few squirts of my expen- sive perfumed lotion. This makes it last longer and also tones down the scent a little bit, so it's not so strong. This way I can enjoy my perfume smell all year at a fraction of the cost. -- Karen, Oklahoma COLORED SOCK PINS. Everyone in my family wears white athletic socks. Before Conservation program deadline approaches far exceeded the amount of funding available. NRCS is anticipating similar funding for 2011. Farmers and ranchers are encouraged to apply immediately to ensure consideration for this funding cycle. Landowners with a conservation plan for their operation receive priority for financial assistance. NRCS staff is available to help landowners create con- servation plans on a first come, first served basis. Applications can be submitted throughout the year, but those received after Nov. 12 will be held until the next cut-off date. For more information visit www.ca.nrcs.usda.gov.

Theft • Richard Metzger, 74, of Red Bluff was home at 5:55 a.m. Monday when someone cut the lock to his front gate and throwing them in the wash, each person is responsible for pinning them together with diaper pins of his/her assigned color. After washing and drying, I can just separate the colors of pins into each person's pile, and I don't have to find mates or figure out which socks belong to whom. -- Diana, Indiana CAST-IRON SKILLET Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate INTO THE FIRE. I clean my cast-iron skillet in my fireplace. When the fire is burning well, I put the skil- let directly in the fire. When the fire burns out, the skillet gets rinsed and re-seasoned. I have friends who take their cast-iron skillets camping with them and clean them in their campfires. -- Adella, e- mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
