REDDING The Trinity River Management Unit of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest will be hosting the annual cleanup of the Trin- ity River and State Highway 299, Saturday. Volunteers will gather at the Big Bar Ranger Station 25 miles west of Weaverville on State Route 299 starting at 9 a.m. Cleanup activities in- clude floating the river in rafts, canoes, and kayaks as well as walking along the highway, beaches and river bars to pick up trash and debris. Participants are en- couraged to bring their own raft or boat. Safety instruc- tion and equipment will be provided. Walking on rocky, un- even surfaces and some lift- ing of heavy objects may be involved. However, volun- teers can select a level of activity to suit their abili- ties and preferences. In appreciation the vol- unteer efforts, a barbe- cue will be provided at the Skunk Point campground near the community of Big Flat on Highway 299 at 3 p.m. following the cleanup. The Trinity River Adven- ture Park in Big Flat will be sponsoring a raffle to bene- fit the volunteers. For more information, call Cindy Garrison at the Weaverville Ranger Station at (530) 623-2121. ENVIRONMENT River, highway cleanups set Dear Mary: HELP! I just pulled a load of dried, white clothes out of my dryer and dis- covered a blue ink pen was in that load. How do I get blue ink out of al- ready dried white clothes? Thank you. — Jenny Dear Jenny: Go to the drug store and buy the cheapest can of hairspray you can find. Cheap is the operative word because the cheaper it is the more acetone it will contain. That's what you want here. Aqua Net is one example of a very cheap, mostly ac- etone hairspray product. Saturate the ink stains with that cheap hairspray. If those stains can be re- moved, you will see the ink begin to dissolve and run. Great. Let it sit and soak for a bit, and then hit the stains with your regu- lar laundry detergent, and launder as usual. On a personal note, I was ready to walk on stage to speak at a large conven- tion many years ago, wear- ing a pale blue wool blazer. I didn't realize the Sharpie pen handed to me did not have a lid attached and, you guessed it, somehow I laid a big black perma- nent-ink mark right across the lapel. Fortunately someone had a can of hairspray handy. I sprayed it liber- ally (how could it get any worse, right?) and it was amazing. That ink dis- solved and actually dis- appeared by the time I reached the podium. While my ink stain was very fresh, it was perma- nent ink! I hope you have equally good luck with your ink stains. Dear Mary: What is an AMT card, and how does it differ from a debit card? — Nancy Dear Nancy: Many peo- ple think of them as the same, but an ATM card is quite different than a debit card. ATM cards operate over a network of different banks that are connected together to service their customer's needs. Look on your card to find out which network(s) it can ac- cess. The most common are STAR, LINK, Cirrus, PULSE, PLUS, Interswitch, Interac and so forth. You will know you are making an ATM purchase/transac- tion because when you do so, you will be required to enter your PIN. ATM cards are used mostly with ATM machines to either withdraw or de- posit money. Some retailers that have PIN processing ma- chines and are part of a bank network (some gasoline, grocery and conve- nience stores), of- ten accept payment by ATM card. Debit cards are more common these days than ATM cards. With a debit card you have the ATM ca- pability mentioned above and also the ability to make purchases with- out a PIN over the Visa or MasterCard network, processed the same way as a credit card transac- tion. That's why you have to select "credit" instead of "debit" to do this. That doesn't mean your debit card is also a credit card, only that it can be pro- cessed over the credit card network. So, you may be asking, which is better? That de- pends on your needs and how convincingly I can ad- vise you. What you need to know is that you might be liable for fraudulent transactions if your PIN was used to commit them. That's why you need to be very, very careful to keep your ATM or debit card PIN secret. If fraud is committed without a PIN (as a credit transaction over the Visa or MasterCard network), then usually you have sim- ilar protections as a credit card — not by law, but by the terms offered by Visa and MasterCard. However, I must to point out that the fraud protection laws in this country are for credit cards. Debit card transac- tions that are processed as credit are not considered the same, so technically, you are at the mercy of your bank or credit union if your account is hacked or compromised. You get the best fraud protection with an actual credit card. Pairing that with an ATM card allows you to use any ATM in your bank's network with- out having to pay a fee or surcharge and enjoy fed- eral fraud protection as well.

EVERDYDAY CHEAPSKATE Grabacanofthischeap product to get out ink stains Mary Hunt USFISHANDWILDLIFEPHOTO Pheasant standing alertly in short grass with brush around in Siskiyou County. Severe drought contin- ues to plague the state of California and with it, wild pheasant populations, re- ports Scott Gardner, se- nior environmental scien- tist with the upland game unit for the California De- partment of Fish and Wild- life. "Severe drought is ex- pected to adversely affect pheasant populations," Gardner says. "Our department has recently funded a pair of projects through the Up- land Game Bird Stamp with Pheasants Forever and the United States Geo- logical Service (USGS) to conduct a status review of factors affecting pheasant populations and habitat in California. In addition, this study should provide pheasant population dynamics and habitat use in the Cen- tral Valley of California. We hope these studies will provide details for differ- ent methods to positively affect future pheasant pop- ulations." On the upside, fallow fields due to drought may provide both hunting and reproductive opportunity in 2015. The season opens Nov. 8 and runs through Dec. 21. The daily bag limit is 2 for the first two days of the season and 3 for the re- mainder of the season. Pos- session limit is 3 for first two days of season and 9 for remainder of the sea- son. Hunters looking to chase wild roosters should focus on the northern ar- eas of California's Central Valley for best chances of success.
