Meganumber: 6. Hot water, bleach are cheap laundry products Dear Mary: I live in an apart- ment building, and all the ten- ants share the washing machines and dryers. Is there a way to sterilize the tubs before I put my clothes in? Many of us no longer wash with hot water, so bacte- ria and viruses don't die. Or does the heat from the dryer kill off the germs? -- Naomi L., Illinois Dear Naomi: Don't count on a clothes dryer to sanitize anything. It's better to bring a weak solution of water and liquid chlorine bleach with you to wipe down the inside of the machine. Contact with this solu- tion for a minimum of one minute will kill most infectious agents, according to the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention. The recipe is 1 tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach to 1 gallon of cool water. Bleach-and-water solutions lose their strength and are weak- ened by heat and sunlight, so mix a fresh solution each time. By the way, for good health, you should wash sheets and towels in hot water (at least 120 F). Dear Mary: How can I get the sour smell out of my bath towels? I've tried everything. -- DeAnna, Tennessee Dear DeAnna: Many readers with front-loading high-efficiency washing machines have written about this problem. That foul smell is a telltale sign of lingering bacteria, and your washing machine may be the culprit. Because front-loaders are built to be water- tight, they can't dry out between loads if the door is closed. That encourages the growth of mildew. No matter what type of machine you have, try this: Set the machine to the longest, hottest cycle available. Don't add any clothes, only 1 1/2 cups of Lime-A-Way (you can find this in most super- markets), and allow it to go through the entire cycle. Another sugges- tion is to replace liquid softener with white vine- gar. Softeners can cause a buildup of gunk, possibly adding to the mildew problem. If you have a front-loading machine, leave the door slightly ajar when the machine is not in use so it can dry thorough- ly. Rewash all of those smelly tow- els in the hottest water possible, with a small amount of detergent and, if they are white, bleach. Believe it or not, too much deter- gent could be contributing to the problem, as well, so be sure to mea- sure every time so you are using the correct amount. Dear Mary: We signed a contract with a food company. Our food bill used to be $400 per month. Now we pay a little less than $400 a month, which includes a freezer. The company sup- plied us with five months' worth of food, paper items, dog food, etc. We still have to buy vegetables. Have you heard about deals like this? I would like to have your com- ments. -- Alan K., Colorado Dear Alan: You've given Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate me very little information, but from what you've described, I have a feeling you're on your way to own- ing the most expensive freezer in the universe. I wish you'd written before you signed the contract so I could have advised you that this sounds like a shady deal to me. Do you have a question for Mary?

LaMalfa invites students to fellowship program Senator Doug LaMalfa, R- Richvale, is encouraging college graduates to apply for the 2011-12 California Senate Fellows class. Applications for the 11-month program are due Feb. 23. The Senate Fellows program is jointly sponsored by the Califor- nia State Senate and the Center for California Studies based at CSU, Sacramento. The program has been ranked by Forbes as one of the top 10 internships in the country because of the work expe- rience, the benefits and the post- fellowship successes of alumni. "The Fellowship Program was an incredible experience,” explained Sutter County Supervi- sor James Gallagher. “The oppor- tunity to work in the Legislature with then Assemblyman Doug LaMalfa gave me a unique tool set and knowledge base which has carried over into my professional life and in my duties as a County Supervisor. This is hands-on learning you cannot get anywhere else." 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. Thefts • Three residents in one neighborhood report- ed Tuesday that items had been stolen overnight from their vehicles. A purse, containing a students from rural areas apply because they bring a unique per- spective and background,” said Senator LaMalfa. “So many peo- ple in the capitol only understand urban California, that’s why it’s key to have a Northern Californ- ian perspective in the program.” Completion of a bachelor’s Each year, eighteen Senate fel- lows are assigned as full-time leg- islative staff, supplementing work experience with an academic sem- inar that is equivalent to six units of graduate credit at Sacramento State University. The experience has proven invaluable for alumni, with many transferring their expe- rience to successful careers in the private and public sectors. “It is especially important that wallet, driver’s license, debit card, $40 in cash and miscellaneous other cards, a Texas Instru- ments calculator, an iPod attachment and an AT&T cell phone, were stolen from an unlocked vehicle in the 1900 block of Winchell Court. The loss was estimated at $300. Another purse was nabbed from a 2007 Chevrolet in the 1900 block of Gentry Way. The loss of five credit cards and items was estimated at $20. A third vehicle was degree by the end of the 2011 summer semester is the only pre- requisite for application, and there is no preferred major because public policy covers a vast array of issue areas. Current fellows hold degrees in political science, economics, biology and other fields. For more information and to download an application, visit www.csus.edu/calst/senate_fel- lows_program.html.

No further information was given. Vandalism • A rear passenger tire of a 1996 Chevrolet was I love what chiropractic can do for people. As a middle school student, I jumped off a cliff into a sandbar and broke my back. I was unable to lay on my back on any hard surface for over a year. It was chiropractic care that helped me get back to normal. Since that time I have always had respect for chiropractic care. I decided that I wanted to help people have healthy and happy lives. I attended Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX. Parker College provides one of the best educational experi- ences available for chiropractors worldwide. I am proud to be a Parker alumnus. I have also received extra training in pediatric and perinatal chiropractic care through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (I.C.P.A), and I am a certified animal chiropractor through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (A.V.C.A). I believe that the body is capable of healing itself. I feel that chiropractic helps facilitate the body to work at its full potential. The human body is amazing in its ability to heal, grow and function healthily. I love spending time with my amazing wife, Emily, and my beautiful daughter Jane, who was born on Father’s Day, 2009. I also like to play with my Great Dane, Cosmo. I love being out- doors and I might love cooking even more. I especially love to barbeque! I collect cookbooks and enjoy reading them. I enjoy sports like racquetball, ping pong, and tennis.
