Get creative, and save money Thinking outside of the box when it comes to spending money can bring tremendous savings. Our weekly tipsters have done it again, with anoth- er batch of great ways to save time and money on a whole bunch of things. CLASS RING ALTERNATIVES. The tip about purchasing a class ring through a local jeweler -- instead of through the company that sells on cam- pus -- reminded me of what my moth- er did when I was in high school. She gave me a single diamond on a chain during my junior year. Then, in my senior year, she gave me the matching diamond stud earrings. The stones weren't large, but were of good quality. I wore the set for many years before making them into another piece of jew- elry. -- Stacie, email ONE STOP FOR SAVING. I keep the weekly circulars from competing stores with me when I'm shopping. Since most stores will match other stores' sale prices, this saves me time and money from having to go store to store to get everything on my list. This also decreases the likelihood that I will buy something that I hadn't intended. - - Patricia, Michigan DIY WARRANTY ACCOUNTS. Instead of buying extended warranties, I put the same amount of money into a separate savings account I named My Warranty Account. In the past, if I didn't have the full amount equal to the warranty, I made monthly pay- ments to that account. Eventually, I started putting $50 each month into the account and renamed it My Appliance Account. A cou- ple of years ago, my refrig- erator died. I had 80 per- cent of the cost to buy a new one in the account. I took advantage of the store's "One-year, same as cash" deal, and by the end of the year I had saved enough to cover the full cost of the refrigerator. -- Sandy, email Mary Hunt FIZZY DECANTER CLEANER. I have a super easy way to get rid of the coffee stains from my coffee decanter: Fill the decanter with warm water, and drop in an Efferdent denture-cleaning tablet. The water will turn blue as the tablet melts. When the water in the decanter is clear, rinse it out with hot water. My decanter is spotless every time. -- PJ, Arkansas Everyday Cheapskate STAND-UP FOR FROZEN BREAD. I stock up on my favorite, more expensive bread when it's on sale, and then I freeze it. To my disappoint- ment, it rarely comes out of the freezer the way it went in. I now save all of my empty bread bags so I can triple- wrap the loaves for the freez- er. I gently press out all of the excess air, seal with a twisty tie, insert the sealed end first into an empty bread bag, and then repeat for a triple bag- ging. I also store the loaves standing upright in a card- board box in the freezer. I do this for all of my bread prod- ucts, and they come out of the freezer so much better. It is well worth the time it takes, and it costs nothing. -- Mary, Indiana Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

California Outdoors Q&As Turning in Wasted Waterfowl Question: Last year during water- fowl season my son and I were hunt- ing in a state wildlife area on a pond. As we were wading across the pond on our way out we found a dead duck on the edge of the pond. The bird had clearly been shot and in the water for perhaps a day or two. We picked up the bird and gave it to the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) folks at the check-out station when we turned in our shoot cards for the day and showed our harvested birds. We were told that since the bird was "in our possession" it counted toward our daily bag total. And since we had lim- ited out, we were now over limit for the day. The folks acknowledged that the bird had probably been dead for a couple of days, but chided us that in the future we should just "let the dead bird lay there" because some animal will eat it eventually. We were not cited but we're wondering if our behavior was illegal. Answer: According to DFG Assistant Chief Mike Carion, picking up the duck does add it to the posses- sion of the person. If you find a dead duck and already have a limit, it is best to leave it. Predators and scavengers will quickly put it to use. Can lobsters be taken from inside San Diego Bay? Question: Do you know if divers can take lobster within San Diego Bay? (Bob S.) Answer: Fish and Game regula- tions do not specifically prohibit div- ing for lobster in San Diego Bay. However, much of the bay is closed to all public use (including diving) by local ordinances and federal regula- tions. Diving in these closed areas by the public for any purpose is prohibit- ed. Contact the San Diego Police Department or San Diego Harbor Patrol for specific information about these closures. Purchasing a bow-mounted laser range finder Question: I am an archery hunter and am interested in purchasing a bow-mounted laser range finder. However, the manufacturer's website does not list California as a state where this device can be legally used to hunt. The device I'm considering doesn't emit a visible light so I am wondering what the DFG's stance is on this before I make the investment into the product for hunting purposes. (L.C.) Answer: Simple laser rangefinders are not prohibited. Just be sure the device does not project any visible light or electronically intensify light for the purpose of either visibly enhancing an animal or providing a visible point of aim on an animal. (See California Code of Regulations, Title 14, section 353(i).) Lead ammo for pistol in condor country? Question: In the lead-free condor zone, can I carry a pistol that is loaded with lead ammo for self defense, with the intention of NEVER using it for hunting purposes? The purpose of carrying it is for self defense only. Of course I'll be carrying lead-free ammo for my rifles, but I want to know about the side arm. Personally, I carry either a Glock 20 in 10mm or a Ruger 44mag. (Brandon C.) Answer: You may not use or pos- sess lead ammunition in the condor zone while hunting, even if you have no intention of using the lead ammu- nition to shoot wildlife. For more information on the non-lead require- ments in condor country, please go to www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/hunting/con dor/ Is it legal to spearfish a marlin while diving? Question: I had an argument with my friend over whether or not we could spear a marlin while diving. I know that you can't spear broadbill, but I looked up the allowed fish that spearfishermen can take and the regu- lations don't say anything about mar- lin (see Title 14 section 28.90). But my friend read that section and he said a broadbill is a marlin, so that means I can't spear those fish. Is he right? (Anonymous) Answer: It is legal to spearfish for marlin but not for broadbill swordfish - they are different species!

It was first reported that sever- al girls had beat up on anoth- er girl who left the area headed west on Walnut Street. Another caller report- ed that her 14-year-old daughter had been attacked by other girls and that one of them had a knife. She said the suspects were following her family.

The girl responsible for the name calling was cited and released. • A man reported at 2:22 a.m. Tuesday that another man burned down his tent underneath the slough bridge on Antelope Boule- vard.
