The Tehama County Photo Club is hosting its annual Images From A Glass Eye International Ju- ried Photography Show Fri- day through Jan. 15, 2016 at the Tehama Country Visitor Center, 250 Antelope Blvd. in Red Bluff. A free public artist recep- tion will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday at the Visitor Center and feature images by pho- tographers from around the country as well as some of the best in the north state. Local photographers se- lected for the exhibit from Red Bluff are Steve Arri- son, Vikki Bettman, Ninette Bird, Bruce Perkin and Adam Wyman. Cottonwood photographers are Doug Davis, Shelley Edwards and Stephanie Luke. Those at- tending the grand opening reception will have the op- portunity to meet many of the artists and ask ques- tions about their photogra- phy on display. Jurors Susan and Neil Silverman will present the $2,650 in awards and com- ment on the winning en- tries. Winners will receive Best in Show, $1,500; sec- ond place, $500; $250 for third place and four awards of merit of $100. The Silvermans are a husband and wife team who have taught and pho- tographed together for more than 25 years. Their passion behind the lens is transmitted not only through their images but to the students as well as they travel and teach world- wide. Their images go to several stock agencies and they always have a "multi- purpose" thought in mind when photographing. They have taught for Great Amer- ican Photography Work- shops, BetterPhoto.com, Santa Fe School, PPA affil- iates, PPC and B&H Photo. The Silvermans' work has appeared on the cover of Outdoor Photography, in Elle Magazine, der Spiegel, Sierra Club, the Cure, The Wooden Boat, Nikon World and many more. They now teach and lead their own workshops. They reside in Northern California. The Silvermans will con- duct a photography work- shop on Saturday, Nov. 14.

EXHIBIT PhotographyshowopensFridayinRedBluff DEAR MARY I am a new reader and I'm getting so many good ideas from your column. Thank you! I believe I read in a re- cent col- umn about a super lit- ter-box de- odorizer. My interest is prompted by the fact that our daughter is moving in with us soon and she has two cats. — Your new faithful reader, Heather DEAR HEATHER There are few odors more difficult to control than those that come with a cat litter box. Until someone figures out how to potty-train cats (in- cluding teaching them to flush), the next best option is Nok-Out. The location of the lit- ter box is important. It should be away from doors and windows, as far from family and food activities as possible. Cats want pri- vacy, so this rules out the kitchen or other high-ac- tivity areas. The size of the litter box and the emptying fre- quency are both impor- tant. If the bottom of the box becomes too soiled, or the smell of urine too con- centrated because the box has a cover; if the box is too small, or if there are too many cats per box, your new house guests may choose a spot near the box, and opt out of us- ing the box altogether. Once you are sure that the cats love their litter, the box is well-placed and ev- erything appears to be go- ing well (save for that hor- rible odor), you're ready to put Nok-Out to work. Spray Nok-Out on the bottom of the clean litter box each and every time you change and clean the box, which should be frequently. Nok-Out is ideal here because other cleaners leave a disin- fectant or masking odor that repels cats. Next, fill the box with you litter of choice and lightly spray the top of the litter with Nok-Out. Ev- ery time you remove solid wastes, spray the litter again with Nok-Out. Nok- Out is odor-free and leaves no smells that will offend the cats, but it does have residual effects that con- tinue to combat odors long after it dries. And it will extend the life of your lit- ter because the box will re- main sanitary and clean. That's because Nok-Out de- stroys bacteria, viruses, fungus spores and germs that cause odor and can create disease and other problems. By the way, Nok-Out is going through a brand name change to SNiPER (only the name, not the product, is changing). So whether you see SNiPER or Nok-Out when you go to NokOut.com, you can be confident that when used properly, Nok-Out will make your life much easier as you welcome these pets to your home.

Lots of your tips helped me more than I can say. I just read the tip about removing burnt cof- fee in a coffee carafe using ice cubes and salt. Why not use denture tablets, and let it soak overnight? It works great. After soaking, in the morning, I pour the water down the garbage disposal. Once again, thanks for all the advice and great tips. — Stacie DEARSTACIE You are so right that denture tablets work wonders to remove burned and stuck-on things in pots, pans and carafes. That is, until you take two things into consideration: Time and money. A denture tablet costs about 10 cents, and the method requires an overnight soak. Ice and salt is all but free and take about three minutes flat to accomplish the same thing. I'm fond of the fast and free method. Thanks for your loyalty, love and support. Wouldyouliketosend a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@ everydaycheapskate.com.
