We also have mold. Our homeowners insurance won't pay for anything, but they are requiring we get everything fixed in the next three months by a licensed plumber, or they will no longer cover us. We will have to use funds from our retirement account, which allows us $8,000 without penalty. The remainder (up to $20,000) will be charged a 6 percent penalty. This is about half of our retire- ment. Should we go ahead and get this necessary work done and use our retirement money to pay for it? -- Marlene, email Dear Marlene: I wish I had more information, like your age, how many bids you've received, and whether you've considered doing the abatement work your- selves and then having it inspected by a licensed professional approved by your insurance com- pany. It's not child's play, and you want to make sure you know exact- ly the precautions to take to protect yourself, your family and your home. I assume that since you are looking to your retirement account as your only resource, you have no savings for emergencies. Given what I don't know, and what I have to assume, I do not recommend that you raid your fledgling retirement account until you have exhausted all other possibilities. If it comes down to your retirement account truly being your only option, that will be a shame. In that case, I hope that you have the time it will take to restore those funds and get back on track. Dear Mary: What are good ways to save money on dental care? What do you think about going abroad for med- ical or dental care? -- Ellyn, Florida experiences, good or bad to, plus recommendations and referrals. When they email me at Mary@EverydayCheapskate.com, I'll report back. Dear Mary: Is there a way to save on the Glade plug-in refills? -- Sharon, email Mary Hunt Dear Ellyn: My den- tist assures me that den- tal and periodontal dis- ease is preventable with daily brushing (I use Oral-B Power Toothbrush, which is very effec- tive), flossing and regular visits with a dental hygienist. Those three activities will save you a ton of money over the years. As for restorative work abroad, I have no experience at all with that. That's not to say I would advise against it, only that I lack good, reliable information. However, I have a feeling that readers will be anxious to weigh in with their Everyday Cheapskate Dear Sharon: I have actually done this, and it worked quite well. The trick is finding fragrance oil that is cheaper than a plug-in refill. Check your local dollar stores, or online with a search for "fragrance oil." I've found these oils to be highly con- centrated, so mixing them with mineral oil helps stretch the product to make it last longer. You'll need to pry the plastic top from the empty plug-in, using a knife or other object (be careful!). Then slowly and careful- ly pour the oil into the container, replacing the top. Good luck!

Urgent plea for Salvation Army volunteers The Salvation Army Red Bluff Corps hit a record low in bell ring- ing at the Red Kettles on Nov. 29, and are in urgent need of volun- teers. The reason for the record low was lack of volunteers. "Our volunteers so far have been amazing, but we still need more help," said Lt. Heather Paap. Bell ringing is the main form of fund rais- ing for The Salvation Army since the Salvation Army Red Bluff Corps aims to only use On-call, paid Bell ringers to fill in holes where volunteers have not signed up to ring bells. "The more volunteers we get to help donate two hours of their time to bell ring, the more money we can spend on our community of Red Bluff," Paap said. "We couldn't do it without Tehama County volun- teers' help." The goal to fundraise this year is a $63,000, roughly $1 per person in Tehama County. The Salvation Army has two- hour shifts available from 9:30a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday. "We are trying some- thing new this year in that we are asking our Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Antone Marty Durrer, 36, of Gerber was arrested Tuesday at Aramayo Way at Oak Street in Los Moli- nos. Durrer, also known as Tony, was a passenger in a black 2003 Hyundai Accent that deputies pulled over for expired registration. He was charged with possession, manufacturing or selling a dangerous weapon after deputies found an 8-inch, fixed blade knife con- cealed on the back of his right hip. Bail was set at $15,000. Durrer has already been released on bail. • Randy Dean Troxell, 22, of Oakdale was booked Tuesday at the Tehama County Jail. He was charged with posses- sion of narcotics. Bail was set at $75,550. • Chad Randle Hem- bree, 32, of Red Bluff was arrested Tuesday morning when officers of the Dis- trict Attorney executed a search warrant at a home in the 1700 block of El Cerrito Drive. Hembree was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and being a pro- hibited person in posses- sion of ammunition. Bail was set at $40,000. Fire • A vehicle fire was reported at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Antelope Boulevard and Interstate 5. The fire was extin- guished quickly and offi- cers reported that a mal- function with the vehi- cle's brakes appeared to be the cause. Violence • A woman reported Tuesday morning that she and her 15-year-old daughter had been in a physical fight in the 300 block of Jefferson Street. The daughter was released to her stepfather and no charges were filed. • Some four or five boys, two of whom were wearing 49ers jerseys, were reported in an argu- ment in the roadway at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Cedar and Lincoln streets. However, the group was gone when officers arrived. Courtesy photo More Salvation Army volunteers, like Steven Agens pictured here at Grocery Outlet, are needed to ring the bell.To volunteer stop in at the Red Bluff office, 940 Walnut St., or call 527-8530. volunteers to come in to fill out a volunteer form, pick-up their kettle and bell before their two- hour shift, then bring back their kettle so we can save on gas money and using our paid, on- call ringers," said Lt. Paap. "The bottom line for us is the less money we have to use or pay out for bell ringers, the more money we can use to help feed, clothe, help with utility assistance and other programs." For more information volunteers can contact Lieutenant Heather Paap at: (530) 527-8530, or come into the office at 940 Walnut Street in Red Bluff, California to sign- up.
