Lunar eclipse captured READERPHOTOS COURTESY PHOTOS BY DAVE SCHLOM DearMary: Thanks for your most informative recent column on poultry labeling. I have seen chicken in the supermarket that includes "en- hanced" on their label. As nearly as I can figure this means pumping salty wa- ter into the meat. What is all this about? Thanks. — Mimi Dear Mimi: The USDA allows meat products to include solutions that de- liver benefits such as adding moisture, ten- derize meat or add fla- vor. However, such addi- tives must be fully dis- closed on the label, which you know because you have seen this. Turns out that a lot of our meat is enhanced. About 30 per- cent of poultry, 15 percent of beef and 90 percent of pork are injected with some kind of liquid solu- tion before sale, accord- ing to the USDA, and it's usually something high in sodium. According to the American Meat Insti- tute, the solution pumps up the meat's volume and can "replace the flavor and moisture loss that results from raising leaner an- imals or from po- tential overcook- ing." What you figured is right on. Dear Mary: I have an is- sue that I would like cleared up. On the strength of your gush- ing review of the LG Wave Force washer and dryer that you purchased at very good prices, we bought the exact same set. Recently, you wrote that you had changed washer and dryer to something else and said "more about that later" (may not be your exact words, but something like that). Please explain. — Martha Dear Martha: Wait. I gushed? I guess I did because I loved that washer and dryer. As you know, that is a top-load- ing washing machine. If you've been following along with my life (which is sounds like you do and thanks for being such a careful reader), we sold our home and will be re- locating next year to our new home in Colorado. As I write we are still in our 18-month interim, liv- ing in a very small apart- ment. That LG set would not fit, and I have to tell you that kinda broke my heart. However, the LG's are safe and happy in our son's home nearby. For this small apartment, we got a full-size stackable GE washer and dryer set. You may recall my warn- ings about front-load- ing washers in the past. Having no choice be- cause space limitations, we went with it. And I'm happy to report that this set is fabulous, as well. I am careful to do the "basket clean" every 30 days, running a full cy- cle with hot water and a lot of bleach, as outlined in the owner manual. And I leave the washer door open between use to allow it to dry out. So far no odors, no prob- lems. I hope you are en- joying your set. I'm still a big fan. Dear Mary: How can I get rid of wasps? I have used wasp spray, and they die and the nest is de- stroyed. But as soon as I get rid of one nest, a few days later two more show up in other areas. — El- eonor Dear Eleonor: There's something around your property that those wasps really enjoy. Do not keep any food (including your pet's) lying around. Keep drinks covered when out- doors and always ensure that garbage cans are tightly sealed. Also, keep any fallen fruits from nearby trees or shrubs, as well as in the garden, picked up, as their sweet juices attract the wasps. If the nests are large or you're dealing with the more aggressive types of wasps, such as yellow jackets and hornets, you may want to call in rein- forcements (professionals) to handle the job. There are times when, in the end, it just doesn't pay to handle difficult problems yourself. Wasps have a nasty sting and can pose health problems. Please be careful.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE Chicken plumped to look and taste better Mary Hunt The Pacific Southwest Region of the U.S. Forest Service will soon begin en- vironmental analysis un- der the National Environ- mental Policy Act based on Subpart C of the Travel Management Rule. Five national forests in California are undertak- ing Subpart C analysis to improve their manage- ment of over-snow vehicle use and to designate a sys- tem of over-snow vehicle trails, including groomed trails, to meet the terms of a settlement agreement between the Forest Ser- vice and Snowlands Net- work, Winter Wildlands Alliance and Center for Bi- ological Diversity. The Forest Service will soon begin the process of preparing a separate en- vironmental impact state- ment for each of the five forests: Lassen, Tahoe, El- dorado, Stanislaus and Plu- mas. The environmental impact statements will be prepared as part of a stag- gered completion sched- ule — separated by several months for each of the five forests — starting with the Lassen National Forest. The Regional Forester's office is coordinating this effort. The Forest Supervi- sor on each of the five for- ests will be the responsible official and will sign the fi- nal decision for each for- est. Public participation is essential for the project's success. A meeting for Lassen National Forest will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednes- day, Nov. 5, in Susanville, at the Lassen National Forest Supervisors Office, 2550 Riverside Drive. The Plumas National Forest meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in Quincy at the Min- eral Building on the Plu- mas County fairgrounds, 204 Fairgrounds Road. Meetings are also scheduled in Sonora Nov. 3 and Placerville Nov. 4. Additional public in- volvement opportunities will be available during the formal public scoping process — once the NEPA process begins.
