FREE DRAWING with any purchase And then there was ice Today's first reader tip reminds me of a very impor- tant financial principle: In nearly all situations, it's cheaper to repair than to replace. That's a principle that we've allowed to be forgotten in a time when electronics and appliances are constantly improving. When the TV goes out, we just assume it's better to buy a new one because the newer models are so much better than our old piece of junk. Or when the icemaker quits mak- ing ice, it must be time to get a new refrigerator. Well, not so fast, Buckaroo. There may be an easier and cheaper way. REMOVE AND THAW. When our 11-year-old icemaker stopped working, I wondered if it was worth replacing since the fridge is getting old and a repairman would charge at least $250. It was still going to be $100 if we replaced it ourselves. Prior to doing anything, we took the ice- maker out of the freezer to let it thaw out before ordering and replacing the motor. We decided to reinstall it, and it's been work- ing fine ever since. We do have to check the bar to make sure it goes down all the way, so now I do that every time I open the door. - - Jodi, Texas Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff ’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • A residential bur- glary was reported Monday evening in the 900 block of Monroe Street. Officers took a report about currency that was reported stolen. About three hours later, another call from the same residence reported that a person was sitting on the front porch refusing to leave. Officers arrested Christopher Gable Barfield, 32, of Rich- mond on charges of public intoxication. Bail was set at $500. • A woman reported multiple people fighting with her husband in front of her residence just after 8 p.m. Monday in the 18500 block of Farquhar Road in Cot- tonwood. The suspects left the residence before officers arrived. Howev- er, a few minutes later a second caller reported suspects in a similar vehicle damaged his fence. California High- way Patrol officers pulled over a matching vehicle nearby. Court- ney Danielle Wyman, 21, of Cottonwood was arrested for possession of concentrated cannabis. The man who had reportedly been in a fight initially with the five people in the car, suffered a cut to his nose but refused to press charges. Wyman’s bail was set at $15,000. • Stephen Nebres Goldstein, 36, of Seattle was booked Monday at the Tehama County Jail. He was charged on an arrest warrant for vehi- DISHWASHER FOR THE DISH RACK. I wash my dish rack and drain board in the dishwasher from time to time. It gets them really nice and clean, with no effort at all. -- Ruth, Cana- da OXICLEAN LIQ- UID TRUMPS POW- DER. I tried the tip about cleaning grout with a paste made of OxiClean powder. It cleans great, but the mess of making the paste, applying it only to the grout and then cleaning the floor of the gritty mess was a pain. I experimented with other cleaners, but the OxiClean paste still worked the best at cleaning grout. While shopping one day, I found a liquid version of OxiClean. It comes in a spray bottle, and it works fabulously! I sprayed it on the grout, let it sit, scrubbed with a toothbrush and wiped it up with a damp rag. -- Julie, Arkansas VINEGAR HAIR RINSE. For 60 years, I've been using vinegar as a hair rinse after shampooing. I pour some vinegar in a glass, cle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle. Bail was set at $30,000. • Michael Lawrence Barnett, 23, and Shawan Montrell Wimberly, 20, both of Red Bluff were arrested Sunday at Wal- mart. Both were charged with attempted burglary.

My Soft Scrub cleaner had pretty much dried up in our Ari- zona heat, but I couldn't just toss it out. I boiled about 1/4 cup of water in the microwave and then slowly poured the water into the Soft Scrub bottle. I shook it up thoroughly. My Soft Scrub came alive again. -- Marlene, Arizona Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.
