You'll see the world in a beau- tiful new light and work up a dandy sweat at the same time. The way I see it, when it comes to windows, you have three choices: Spend hundreds of dollars to hire a professional (forget it); learn to live with dirty, streaky win- dows (what could be worse?); or learn the professionals' trade secrets, and do it yourself. Well, have no fear; the secrets are here. First, you need to invest in a profes- sional-quality squeegee. I bought one for $5 at a janitorial supply store. Make sure you keep it fitted with a sharp, new rubber blade. Next, the secret to sparkling win- dows is in the cleaning solution. To 1 gallon of water add 1 cup of plain household ammonia (not lemon-scent- ed or sudsing), 1 cup of white vinegar and 4 drops (no more, no less) of liq- uid dishwashing detergent (Joy is the best for this job). If the windows are particularly dirty, use a large sponge or cloth for a scrubber and apply solution to the windows in a circular scrubbing Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol. Arrests • Edward Reginald Thomas, Jr., 26, of Gerber was arrested Sunday in the 300 block of Mariposa Avenue in Gerber. He was booked into Tehama Coun- ty Jail on the charges of possession of narcotics and receiving known stolen property. Bail was set at $20,000. Tehama County Sher- iff’s Deputies conducted a bicycle stop for not having proper lighting and a con- sent search of the bicyclist was made. A pill container with 54 hydrocodone pills for which Thomas did not have a prescription was located. The pill bottle had the name of the owner on it who when contacted said the pills had recently been taken from his residence in Gerber. • Calvin Carl Henry, 38, of Platina was arrested Sat- urday on Highway 36W. He was booked into jail on the charge of taking vehicle without the owner’s con- sent. Bail was $10,000. Burglary • Kathy Lowe suffered a $13,420 loss following a burglary from her Woodson Avenue barn in Corning. Between 4 p.m. on Jan. 16 and 3 p.m. Friday some- one entered an unlocked door and took five saddles, five breast collars, two bri- dles with bits and two hal- ters. Also taken were two sets of saddle bags, five sets of skid boots, four sets of bell boots, two extra bits, one set of rawhide reins, wheel- barrow and smaller items such as hoof picks, hook knives and brushes. •A burglary believed to have occurred between 7 p.m. Wednesday and noon Friday at an unoccupied home on View Drive in the Cottonwood area has resulted in a $1,238 loss for Tytus Bassett. Unknown persons entered the resi- dence using a pry tool to force the front door open, causing damage to the door and frame, before removing several items. Items taken include a GE propane water heater, valued at $350, Bis- sel vacuum cleaner, valued at $89 and Frigidaire clothes dryer, $500. Remaining loss was in $300 damage to the door. A Clean, Reliable, Trustworthy, Chimney Company... Possible? ”Their tarps are always clean and my home is always clean afterward. What I like best is their reliability and quality.” “I can trust them!” Dr. Evan Reasor Flue Season 527 3331 THE Chimney Professionals motion. For windows with minimal dirt, just spray the solution on them. Wipe them clean with your powerful squeegee. Sweep the squeegee back and forth across each window in one continuous motion. This "fanning" technique takes practice to master. If your squeegee is in tiptop shape, it should remove every bit of the cleaning solution from the glass without the need to follow up with a rag. However, until you master the tech- nique, you may need to follow with a microfiber cloth to get every last bit of solution off the glass. That's it! It will take a little practice to get really good at window washing, but when you do, you will feel so accomplished. By the way, this cleaning solution works great on lots of things, including windows, mirrors, countertops, stove- tops, shower doors, bathroom fixtures and ceramic tile. Because there is so very little detergent in it, there is no Collisions • A 53-year-old Vina man received minor injuries in a collision with a run- away pickup at 6:50 p.m. Friday on private property on Rowles Road. The 2006 Dodge Pickup began mov- ing northbound with no one in control of it and hit Michael Hamilton. Hamil- ton said he would seek his own aid. • A Rancho Tehama woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs fol- lowing a collision at 3:45 p.m. Friday on Dusty Way, west of Rawson Road. Ursula Ruks Brady, 51, was driving south on Rawson Road behind another vehi- cle, approaching Dusty Way. Thomas Hoffman, 51, of Corning was driving east on Dusty Way, slowing for a stop sign at the intersec- tion. Due to her alleged level of drug intoxication, Ruks Brady didn’t see Hoffman and made a wide turn onto Dusty Way where her vehi- cle collided with Hoff- man’s. No one was injured, but Hoffman’s vehicle, which came to rest block- ing the eastbound lane, had major damage. Ruks Brady’s had moderate dam- age. • A 24-year-old Red Bluff woman was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for minor injuries following a collision at 2:24 p.m. Friday on Antelope Boulevard near Sherman Drive. Melinda Casey had been driving her vehicle east on Antelope Boulevard when it was rearended by a vehi- cle driven by Glen Harold Everett, 60, of Red Bluff. The collision caused moderate damage to both vehicles. Everett was deter- mined to be under the influ- ence and was arrested and booked into Tehama Coun- ty Jail on the charge of DUI. Bail was $5,000. Crashes •A 16-year-old Corning girl and her passenger, also a 16-year-old Corning girl, were taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with minor injuries following a rollover crash at 12:10 p.m. need to rinse when using it for window washing. Caution: Because ammonia can remove wax and even some paints, take proper precaution. As you do with all cleaning solutions, label it clearly and keep it out of the reach of children. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate I calculate this solution costs about 45 cents per gal- lon, compared with $20 for the same amount of Windex. Wow! Cheaper and better. P.S. It suddenly occurred to me that not all of you are as fortunate as I to live where it is summerlike year-round. If you are up to your win- dowsills in snow, clean all your mirrors now, and wait a few months on the windows.

The driver was cited for being an unlicensed driver and for making an unsafe turning movement. • A 1989 Toyota Pickup registered to someone in Corning was left behind in a hit and run crash that damaged about 150 feet of a barb wire fence and sever- al wooden fence posts.
