Clearly, our list is not com- plete, because we never thought about using it to strip wallpaper! Apparently, according to today's first tipster, it works great. SLIPPERY WALLPAPER. The wallpaper in my home was glued right onto the drywall, making it very difficult to strip off. I didn't want to use any chemicals, so I tried warm water in a spray bottle, but it was taking forever to strip off. It finally "dawned" on me that if I added a drop or two of Dawn dish soap, it might help. BINGO! I sprayed it on and let it set for a minute or two, and the wallpaper came off in very large pieces. Once again, Dawn saved the day! -- Peggy, California WATERPROOF SNOW GLOVES. With all the snow we've had this winter, I've had to dig out my car a lot. I don't have those thick waterproof gloves, so I wore my regular gloves and put on large latex gloves over them. It worked really well. My hands didn't get wet or cold during any of my long shov- eling sessions. -- Kay, Maryland HANDY SOAPING. I get frus- trated when I have to toss the small remainders of bar soap that get too small and slippery to use. Instead of throwing them away, I decided to put a bunch of them in a knee-high nylon sock and tie the end. My soap sock sits by my sink. It soaps up beautifully, and nothing goes to waste. -- Barbara, Minnesota ELECTRONIC DRY- OUT. If you ever have knocked over a drink onto your cell phone, your iPod or another electronic device, keep this tip handy. Get a bowl and fill it with cat box filler. Turn the device off, and stick it into the bowl, making sure it is com- pletely covered. Leave it overnight. By morning, it should be dried out. I tried this, and it worked. This saved me from having to pur- chase yet another new phone. -- Amy, Vermont FABRIC MARKER STAND- IN. Recently, I lost the fabric marker that I use when sewing. I had just purchased a set of wash- able markers for my preschool-age son, so I used the black one to mark the pieces of my daughter's white nightgown. It worked great and washed out once the garment was complete. I can use different colors -- for example, yellow on a darker fabric -- which is really helpful. A single fabric marker costs $2.50, but a set of eight washable markers is about $5. -- Christa, Georgia WINTER SAND RES- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate CUE. We live on a hilly road, and when it snows, the town throws a lot of sand on the road. At the end of winter, there can be a lot of this sand, so before the town comes with its street cleaner, I sweep up a bucket or two and save it to use on my driveway and walkways next winter. -- Judy, Connecticut Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.

DFG seeks comments on suction dredging The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has complet- ed the first round of environmental review documents related to Cali- fornia’s currently suspended Suc- tion Dredge Permitting Program. The Draft Subsequent Environmen- tal Impact Report (SEIR) is now available for public review and comment. The Draft SEIR addresses the potential environmental effects of the permitting program, which was suspended in 2009 pending comple- tion of this review, and proposes amendments to the regulations that existed prior to the current morato- rium. In addition to proposing the revised program, the document also evaluates the potential impacts of four alternatives: a No Program Alternative (continuation of the existing moratorium), a 1994 Regu- lations Alternative (continuation of previous regulations in effect prior to the 2008 moratorium), a Water Quality Alternative (which would include additional program restric- tions for water bodies listed as impaired for sediment and mercury pursuant to the Clean Water Act, section 303(d)), and a Reduced Intensity Alternative (which would include greater restrictions on per- mit issuance and methods of opera- tion to reduce the intensity of envi- ronmental effects). The Draft SEIR and supporting documents are now available on the DFG website at www.dfg.ca.gov/suctiondredge, and can be provided upon request by calling (530) 225-2275. Copies of the Draft SEIR are also available for review at DFG regional offices Five public meetings will be held in late March including one at Region 1 headquarters, 601 Locust St., in Redding.
