Report immediately A friend of mine recently mis- placed her cell phone. She assumed it would turn up if she were patient. After sev- eral weeks with no such luck, she stopped in at the Verizon store to get a replacement. That's when she got slammed with the news that indeed her phone was alive and well, but in the hands of a thief who was having a great time calling and texting with reckless abandon. Verizon immediately disabled her number, but would do nothing about the hundreds of dollars in charges incurred up to that moment. She's responsible for every penny of it, which should be a good lesson for all of us: The minute you cannot find your phone, report it stolen. When you find it, you can have it reactivated. In the meantime, you might want to take this preventive measure, in the hopes a decent per- son happens to find your phone: LOST PHONE, CALL HOME. When I lost my phone, I called it -- and when a woman answered, I told her I was the owner of the phone. She had found it in a parking where I dropped it. Since then, I pro- grammed my home phone number into my contacts under HOME, with no address. If lost, hopefully some kind soul will make the effort to call my home. -- Shirley, email NO MORE SPLATTERS. I use the plastic liner bags in cereal boxes to control splatter in my microwave. By opening the bag top com- pletely, I can often fit the bowl or plate inside. If it won't fit, I cut the bag open along the seam and lay it over the plate. The bag has sufficient body that it doesn't touch the food, and I don't have an extra plate to wash. I think of it as the fourth R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repurpose. -- Mar- garet, email ance.

When I get a free sample of dry cat food that our cats have never tried, I put it in the "treat jar," instead of feeding it to them as their regular food. Given as a taste, I feel I can better judge whether the new food agrees with my cats' tummies and if they really like it. -- Melanie, Geor- gia Mary Hunt POOL SHOES FOR MOPPING.

According to state- ments received, there was a party in progress and some of the individuals at the party questioned Simon Garcia, 36, of Corning, about an inci- dent that had occurred the night before. Garcia got upset over the questioning, at which point Kristina Martines, 20, of Corning, told Gar- cia he needed to leave and she opened the front door for him to leave. Garcia became more upset and took a knife from the kitchen and, holding the knife out to his side, started walking toward Martines. Two other individuals at the party, grabbed Garcia and forced him outside, at which point he left the area. Red Bluff Garden Club CHRISTMAS BOUTIQUE ALL FRESH WREATHS, ARRANGEMENTS AND MORE
