You never would believe some of the things that people are doing to save time and money. Sometimes I just sit back and wonder, "What were you thinking?" But most of the time, I receive tips like the ones I'm sharing today, and I think, "Why didn't I think of that?" HIDING THE PAINT. We have decided to paint our dining room and purchased a small amount of the color we thought would look best to try on the wall. I took down a spice rack we have hanging in the room and painted the test color within the outlines of the spice rack. After evaluating the color (we didn't care for the shade), we sim- ply rehung the rack and completely hid the sample. We have lots of wall art to try more samples. -- Alan, Cali- fornia LABEL THE SPONGE. I discov- ered a great solution to keeping track of my cleaning sponges. I label the sponges with my Sharpie pen. For example, on one, I wrote "COMET," and on another, I wrote "TOILET." After all that cleaning, even with bleach, the lettering has stayed perfect- ly legible. -- Cindy, email ORANGE PEEL CLEAN- ER. A buildup of greasy dirt on furniture can be peeled away easily. Grapefruit or orange peel rubbed over the dirt leaves the surface clean, fragrant and oiled, all in one step. I did this on a grungy wooden kitchen table edge in steps. Every time I ate an orange, I used the peel to rub out a few more inches of filth. Before I knew it, the table looked like new. -- Millie, Illinois HOBO DINNERS. We email STAIN REMOVER. My puppy Mary Hunt have been making "hobo" dinner packets for years and love them. We use a hamburger patty and sliced potatoes, carrots and onions. Season well. Add about 1 tablespoon of water and a pat of butter. Tightly seal everything in aluminum foil, and cook it on the grill (or in the oven) for about 30 to 45 minutes. These make wonderful meals. -- R.P., Tehama County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Ser- vice Authority announces the month of June is County Cleanup Month. Free removal of up to four abandoned or non-opera- tional vehicles or vehicle parts, excluding tires, from your property within Tehama County will be offered. The authority receives funds from a $1 vehicle reg- istration fee imposed upon vehicles registered to an owner with an address in Tehama County. Such funds may be used for the abatement, removal and disposal of any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle or parts from private or public property in Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Travis Lee Hill, 29, of Red Bluff was arrested Monday in the 900 block of Jackson Street after he reportedly called police to report harassing phone calls being made to him. Officers contacted the woman who Hill said was repeatedly calling him and told her to stop. However, Hill was arrested and booked on war- rants for forgery of narcotics prescription and second degree burglary. Bail was set at $15,000. • Just before 4 a.m. Tues- day, a man was arrested and booked on a warrant after reports that a 6-foot-tall white man, dressed in black, was walking down the street in the 800 block of Orange Street. Justin Edwards, 27, of Red Bluff was charged with failure to complete a work program and failure to appear. No further informa- tion was available. • Erin Chavonne Jordan, 34, of Red Bluff was arrest- ed Monday in the first block of Gilmore Road. Jordan, also known as Erin Bishop, was charged with posses- sion, manufacturing or sale of a dangerous weapon and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. She was also arrested for warrants of failure to appear on a misdemeanor and inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. Bail was set at $21,000. Violence • Staff at Shari’s Restau- rant called police Monday when a man came into the restaurant bloody, saying he was just assaulted. The crime was committed in county jurisdiction, but offi- cers took a report of the incident for the Tehama County Sheriff’s Depart- ment. • Police officers respond- ed to a report of two men fighting in the parking lot near Enterprise Rent A Car. The two had separated before officers arrived and Salon Bella Dona Full Service Salon 3 per foil or Nicole Richardson May Highlight Special $ $ 60 for full highlights Call for appt. 527-4843 (exp. May 31, 2011) Everyday Cheapskate threw up on my light-colored living room rug. Because a lot of dog foods contain dye, I used a product that is meant to remove red wine stains. It worked so well that now you can't find the spot. This is normally a stain that is very hard to remove. -- Penny, Maine CREATIVE WRAP- PING. As a wedding gift, I purchased a laundry basket and filled it with a bunch of laundry cleaning supplies. Then came the problem: How do I wrap this? Wrap- ping paper wouldn't work, and gift bags were too small. At the store, I spotted a vinyl tablecloth. It was not only big enough but also cheaper than the wrapping paper, plus it was something they could use. I bought a roll of ribbon and used it to tie the ends together. I made a note in the card that the wrap was a tablecloth. The couple will be able to use everything. -- Karen, Nebraska Free removal of abandoned or inoperative vehicles in June accordance with the TCAVASA Plan.

Once a request form is filled out we simply contact the tow company and make arrangements for it to con- tact you and have your vehicle(s) hauled away. All we ask is that the tow company have easy access to the vehicle. no injuries were reported. However, one person who was with one of the men was wanted on a Red Bluff police warrant and was sub- sequently arrested. Theft • A coin collection was reported stolen Monday from a residence in the 9700 block of First Street. Animals • A woman reported Monday that a mountain lion was laying in her front yard in the 14500 block of Nevis Road. The call was canceled when it was dis- covered that it was only a feral cat. Odd • A man reported Mon- day that he had found a 12- foot aluminum boat in the river. He told deputies that the boat had been in the water for some time and he had taken it to his home in the 100 block of Second Avenue in Los Molinos. The expired plates on the silver 1995-model boat led authorities to the boat’s owner, and the boat was returned. Fires • A control burn escape caused the fire that burned an eighth of an acre in the area of the northbound Interstate 5 rest stop. The fire was reported at 2:59 p.m. Monday and was con- tained at 3:10 p.m. CalFire and Tehama County Fire responded.
