CHICO Lassen National Forest invites the public to an open house 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 to collect ideas for sustain- able recreation opportuni- ties in the High Lakes. The event will take place at the Trinity United Methodist Church, 285 E. Fifth St. in Chico. High Lakes is a high-el- evation region of the Las- sen National Forest located on the south side of the Al- manor Ranger District be- tween Highways 32 and 70. This popular recreation destination is visited by an- glers, campers, rockhounds and off-highway vehicle en- thusiasts. Lassen National Forest is considering several man- agement actions to main- tain routes, improve wa- tershed condition, and en- hance public access. "Some of the actions we're considering include rerouting trails, relocating campsites, and improving staging areas and opportu- nities for dispersed camp- ing," said Almanor District Ranger Kathleen Nelson. "We're holding the open house to discuss ideas with those who have an interest in the High Lakes area." Forest Service staff will incorporate the public in- put from this informal in- formation gathering into a proposed action plan that will be released after Jan. 1, 2016 as part of the public scoping process.

"We are encouraged by their desire, drive and determination to obtain a higher education and are grateful to assist in that cause." EDUCATION Marinelli awarded grocers foundation scholarship The PAL Martial Arts program continued with hard training and exercises Aug. 20 with Sensei Terry Shackleford encouraging a tug of war, which strength- ens the grip for techniques in Jujutsu and Karate. Hard physical training, mixed with fun, develops confidence and endurance when dealing with bullies and other difficult situa- tions. This strengthening process includes positive role modeling and messages from adults who volunteer, and law enforcement per- sonnel in PAL programs. Living a healthy, drug, alcohol, tobacco and bully free lifestyle is the core mis- sion in the program, which was the first anti-bullying program with the drug free message in Tehama County. It began in the fall of 1998. There are several other qualified adult black belt instructors in the program and all have been cleared by PAL and the Department of Justice. The program meets 3-5 p.m. Mondays and Thurs- days at 1005 Vista Way, across from Trainor Field. The program is for children from age 5 to 18 if in school. Women's Wellness and Empowerment self defense is scheduled to resume after the summer break 5-6:30 p.m. on the third and fourth Thursdays of each month.

PAL If you're planning a home rehab — or in the throes of one right now — just imag- ine how wonderful it would be if all it took to make the place like new was a spritz or two of our favorite odor-eliminating, disinfecting and cleaning spray. That's all it took for some very lucky birds. FRESH HOME I have an- other use for Nok-Out. I have a gourd birdhouse and I thought it was get- ting too full of nesting material so I cleaned it out thinking the birds would start over the next spring building a nest in it. I was wrong. I went two years and still no bird nested. I decided to spray it with Nok-Out be- cause maybe a bird could smell the prior resident, so to speak. I sprayed it; let it dry in the sun, hung it back up and now I have a new resident. Love your column, by the way. —Kathy DEAR KATHY Nok-Out is an amazing product, and proven safe for all things aviary! Something else amazing?

These are bet- ter than any non-stick cookware on the market. An easier way to get rid of rust on an old cast-iron pan is to fill the pan or pot with Coca-Cola and boil it. This will take the pan down to bare metal and leave it ready to be properly seasoned. — Jim REASONABLE FACSIM- ILE I read your arti- cle about Soilove Laun- dry Stain Remover. It isn't available in Min- nesota but we do have Greased Lightning Su- per Strength Cleaner and Degreaser. It works great as a laundry stain remover as well as many of the other uses that you mentioned for Soilove. Greased Light- ning is especially effec- tive on greasy or oily stains on clothing, even items that have gone through the dryer. I've rescued many articles of clothing from the rag bag with Greased Light- ning. I don't know how it compares to Soilove but I've been very im- pressed with the results. — Cindy PICK IT CLEAN I hate de- boning a roasted chicken or Thanksgiving tur- key. It always seemed to take forever, until I put on a clean pair of rub- ber gloves and instead of utensils, used my hands to pull everything off. Roasted chicken takes about 10 minutes to pick clean. The gloves are tacky enough to grip, and I don't get my hands slip- pery and messy. I can get every morsel. Fast, no frustration and it's sim- ple. — Kay MAKE IT GREEK Create your own Greek yogurt by folding a full size pa- per towel into quarters and placing it on top of plain yogurt. It will ab- sorb the sour-tasting whey. Replace the towel when soaked or each time you eat some yogurt. The more often you replace the towel, the tastier the yogurt becomes. We buy the larger size tubs and after a couple of towels it tastes a lot smoother and less tart. Be sure to buy yogurt that is stiff and not runny or the towels will stick. — KC Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
