You won't have to travel farther than your local Walmart to check it out for yourself, either. FLEA SHAMPOO KNOCKOFF. Rather than buying expensive flea shampoo, I buy Equate Head Lice shampoo at Walmart. I discovered this product when I had a pup who was about to die from flea infestations. Nothing seemed to work until a friend gave me a bottle of the shampoo. Equate worked excellently, and I con- tinued applying it for a couple of months. I mixed it into a small amount of name-brand shampoo, and then I applied a little conditioner. This extends the shampoo and gives my pet a fine looking coat in the process. -- Steven, email POCKET MASSAGER. I recently discovered the best massage tool ever. I had a pesky knot in my shoulder, and I came across an old baseball at home. I thought the shape might put the right pressure on the knot, and ball would let me rub it out. Now I carry it with me everywhere. It's small enough to fit into my purse and way cheaper than other personal massagers. -- Sheri, email LAUNDRY SOAP PEST SPRAY. We have a problem in our area with boxelder bugs. They don't bite or sting, but they're pesky and keep getting into the house. A friend suggested a bit of laundry soap in a sprayer full of water would kill them. I was thrilled to discover that not only are the box- elder bugs dead within 30 seconds, it works on wasps and hornets, too. I haven't bought a can of wasp spray in years. Whenever I see a nest forming, I get out the sprayer. The siding looks nice after a soapy applica- tion, too. I use about a half cup of laundry soap poured into the jar of my hose-end sprayer. -- Stephen, New York OXI-CLEAN THE Mary Hunt GROUT. I mix Oxi-Clean with water to make a paste that I use to cover all of my dirty grout. I brush the paste onto the grout and let it set for about an hour. Once it's rinsed off, the white grout looks like new. And I didn't have to do any scrubbing, either. -- Delores, Cali- fornia POTATO MASHER FOR MIX- ING. I make Gougeres (a cheesy roll Everyday Cheapskate similar to a cream puff) for special occasions. The last time I made them, the batter was thick like cement and my hands were getting tired and cramped. I had to fully incorporate eight eggs into the batter, one at a time. I finally gave up on my wooden spoon and pulled out my potato masher. Not only was the handle wider and easier to grip than a spoon, the mashing end did a beautiful job pulling the dough together and mixing it thoroughly with much less effort and strain on my part. I will never hesitate to put my potato masher to work in other ways in the future. A true hand-saver -- Amy, North Carolina Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Firefighters cautious with runoff By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer Fire personnel responding to a dumpster fire Saturday night at CC Myers Inc., 21075 Highway 36W, dis- covered a gel-like substance coming from the dumpster. CalFire and Tehama County Fire were initially dispatched to the scene at 5:55 p.m. Saturday, however, about two hours into the process it was dis- covered the fire was in Red Bluff Fire jurisdiction, said Red Bluff Fire Chief Michael Bachmeyer. Fire personnel had the fire con- tained to the dumpster area by about 6:05 p.m., however, while doing mop- up, they saw a strange crystalline mate- rial in the top of the dumpster.

Sigur, also known as Elva Lue Beene, was arrest- ed after she called to report that she was dropped off by a friend in the area on High- way 99 south of Gyle Road and had no way to get home.

Bail was set at $51,035. • Amanda Mari Tadeo, 23, of Red Bluff was arrest- ed Monday in the 22000 block of Antelope Boule- vard after deputies were called to see about a possible victim of violence. Tadeo, also known as Amanda Mari Herrera, had gone to a residence in the area to dis- cuss money owed her. The resident reportedly hit Tadeo in the face during an argu- ment. No injuries were reported and no complaint was filed. However, Tadeo was arrested on an outstand- ing bench warrant charging her with making fictitious At that point, since it was not known what the product was, initial respon- ders pulled back, putting water on the affected area from a distance, Bach- meyer said. It was then noticed that fire water runoff heading toward Dibble Creek and standing puddles appeared to have an orange tint and the operation transi- tioned into an unknown product haz- ardous materials call, he said. About 8:30 p.m., Red Bluff Fire and Police were sent to the scene after it was determined to be in Red Bluff Fire jurisdiction, continuing to treat it as an unknown hazardous material call. Red Bluff Fire notified Environ- mental Health, Fish and Game and Regional Water Quality and made con- tact with a representative of the respon- checks. No bail was set. Animals • A resident reported Sunday that three dogs were chasing cattle in the field off Paskenta Road at Rancho Tehama Road. Deputies searched the area but were unable to find the dogs. Boating • Deputies were called when a sailboat overturned Saturday on Black Butte Lake. However, people at the lake helped upright the boat before deputies arrived. • Deputies towed a group of rafters in the upper river area Monday after they reported having problems because of the wind.

Crash • Hector Castanon, 20, of Corning was uninjured in a crash at 3:15 p.m. Sunday on Columbia Avenue, south of South Avenue. Castanon was driving west on South Avenue, preparing to turn onto Columbia Avenue when he failed to negotiate the turn and his vehicle trav- eled off the west road edge of Columbia Avenue and hit a powerpole. His vehicle had moderate damage. Fires • The vegetation fire reported at 11:09 a.m. Fri- day in the 14800 block of Oak Knoll Drive in the Dib- ble Creek area was caused by a debris burn escape. A quarter of an acre was burned before it was con- tained at 11:22 a.m. • The vegetation fire reported at 12:27 p.m. Fri- day on Cannon Road, south of Highway 36W burned two acres.

He was taken to St. Elizabeth Com- sible party who provided a Material Safety Data Sheet, Bachmeyer said. It was later determined that the end result compound, which solidifies, is inert and non-toxic when in its solid state and that the product is used as a roadway sealant on freeway bridges, he said. “It appears as if the orange tint of the fire water runoff was most likely the result of approximately 1000 feet of orange mesh temporary fencing locat- ed within the dumpster that melted dur- ing the incident,” Bachmeyer said. The company did have a preventa- tive measure in place in the form of pre-deployed waddles, which is straw wrapped in mesh to contain sediment in water run-off, along the creek bank, he said. munity Hospital and treated before he was returned to custody.
