It all starts with frozen coffee cubes, which I make from the flavored coffee of my choice and freeze in ice cube trays. That's the secret. Most recipes call for adding things to cold coffee and then blending with ice. But the ice can water it down. By starting with frozen coffee, there's no need for ice to make the drink frozen. My favorite recipe is frozen coffee cubes, hazelnut or caramel syrup, chocolate milk or powder, light cream or milk and a little sugar (I like mine sweet). Blend until smooth. Yummy! I just keep a zip-type bag full of coffee cubes in my freezer. — Lori FOIL THE FOOLS Since it's not recom- mended to put your home address in your GPS in case your car is stolen, I've set my "home" ad- dress as my local police station. I figure if a thief is dumb enough to think they can steal a car, they'll be dumb enough to pull into the police station. If my car is ever stolen I'll tell the police to keep an eye on their parking lot. While I don't know if it would actually work, if it did I'd have the story of stories. And, by the way, I do know the way home from the police station. — Tim KITTY LITTER TRACTION When I have to walk across surfaces that are icy or slick, I carry a zip- type bag of kitty litter with me to sprinkle ahead of me as I walk. I keep a spare bag in the car, too. It costs less than two dollars for a five-pound bag. — Kay CAR KEEPERS My children like to have blankets in the car during the ride to school in the morning. Keeping these clean on the ride home in the afternoon is hard, since the kids are eating their snacks, are sweaty from practice and so on. I bought cushion covers at Target. I quickly fold up their blankets after I drop them off in the morn- ing and stuff them into the cushion covers. I wash the cushion covers and blan- kets every week instead of washing the blankets ev- ery day. They also serve as pillows when the kids are tired and need a little nap. — Juni SINGLE SERVING PIZZA I'm a single girl and live alone, so I'm always looking for ways to save money. I love to cook, but sometimes I opt for a fro- zen pizza. Instead of cook- ing one and then hav- ing leftovers, I open the pizza box as soon as I get home from the grocery store, cut it into quarters, wrap each slice individu- ally in foil and put them back in the box and into the freezer. On those days when I'm too tired to cook, all I have to do is pull out a slice and pop it in the oven. — Sheri Wouldyouliketosendatip to Mary? Email to mary@ everydaycheapskate.com.

The Gathering is having its second bi-monthly event 7-9 p.m. Friday, May 16 at Grace Hall, next to Commu- nity Baptist Church's back parking lot at 598 Roundup Ave., Red Bluff. The Gathering is a new and regular worship night that's geared toward the 18- to 35-year-olds of Red Bluff. The night features mod- ern, cutting-edge worship music as well as speakers and videos that cover top- ics relevant to the young- adult generation. The ultimate purpose of The Gathering is to offer a place for any and all of Red Bluff's young adults to come together, connect with each other and connect with God in a positive way. The Gathering Band has had the pleasure of play- ing for churches and city events of surrounding coun- ties and would love to offer to give concerts to local church high school and col- lege youth groups.

THE GATHERING Youngadultworshipnight set again in Red Bluff In celebration of Safe Boating Week, members of the public are invited to trade in their old life jackets for a fresh, clean, new one noon to 2 p.m. Saturday at the U.S. Army Corps of En- gineers' Black Butte Lake in Orland. Old jackets will be ex- changed for a new U.S. Coast Guard-approved type III life jacket, courtesy of the California State Parks Division of Boating and Wa- terways. "Life jackets that are sun- bleached, punctured, dried out or exposed to strong sol- vents can become less effec- tive as life-saving devices," said Jonathan Friedman, senior district park ranger for the Sacramento District. "Through this program, our boaters and swimmers can receive a fresh, new U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket to begin this new sea- son on the water." "It is also vital that your life jacket fits you properly," said Friedman. "Our Corps rangers will be happy to make sure you have the proper size water safety equipment." "DBW encourages boat- ers to take part in this life saving program," said Syl- via O. Hunter, deputy direc- tor of DBW. "Life jackets that are too small will not be able to keep your body afloat. Life jackets that are too big will cause the device to push up around the face, which could be dangerous." Full information includ- ing how to properly fit a life jacket and the state-wide lo- cations where you can par- ticipate in the life jacket ex- change can be found online.
