It's not two days old, and you pluck two cloves from it to make your famous spaghetti sauce. Now what? Where will you keep the rest of the head to keep it fresh until the next time you need garlic? On the countertop? In the refrigerator? Thankfully, our first great reader tip has the perfect solution: KEEPING GARLIC. To keep your fresh garlic for an extended period of time, peel and place the cloves into a glass jar. Pour olive oil over them and put the lid on top. Store it in refrigerator until you're ready to use it. -- Audrey, e-mail GREEN CHEESE. Keep your cheese from growing mold by soaking a paper towel in white vinegar. Wrap the towel around the cheese before putting it in a baggie. This really extends the shelf life of your cheese. -- Camille A., Texas BANANA SPLIT. Don't buy a whole cluster of bananas. They will all ripen at the same time. Buy sin- gles at different stages of ripeness so you don't have every banana ripen at once. -- Linda S., Nebraska PANTRY PARTY. I love using http://www.recipekey.com to plan my meals. I can enter all of the items that I have in my pantry and freezer. It will suggest recipes I can make with just the items I have avail- able. I love it because I get to try something new and I don't have to go to the store for just one thing. - - Sarah, e-mail RECIPE WONDER.

I save the crumbs at the bottom of cereal, cracker or chip bags and put them into a plastic con- tainer. Later, I use these crumbs when making meatballs, hamburgers or meatloaf. The cereal crumbs are loaded with iron and make my meat- loaf even better. -- Emily S., e-mail Correction: A tip in your column titled "Fight back against the creep fac- tor" involved canceling a bill on an unordered pack- age and returning the package marked "Refused." According to my postal clerk, if you open any part of the package, including the bill envelope on the outside, you must pay return postage to send it back. Unwanted mail can be returned without cost to you if you write "Refused" on the package, but it must be unopened. If you have opened the package, use the postage-paid return label if there is one. Otherwise, call the sender to request one and, at the same time, cancel the unwanted subscription. - - Mary J., e-mail Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Obituaries Local Calendar To add an upcoming event in the Local Calendar, submit information well in advance to the Daily News, attention Calnedar, P.O.

The total loss was $150. •A cord of firewood was reported stolen Friday after- noon on Highway 99W. The loss is $150, and the suspect was last seen dri- ving a green and white gold pickup, a black shirt and blue jeans. •A five-gallon bucket of roofing materials was reported stolen Friday after- noon from Del Norte Drive. •Leon Rathai reported the theft of tools and power equipment Saturday after- noon from a Benson Road garage. •Daniel Earl Yokum Jr. reported a house break-in Monday morning on Palmero Avenue. It is believed a wallet was stolen. •An apartment was reportedly broken into Monday morning on Wal- nut Street. •A break-in was reported Monday afternoon on South Main Street. •Frederick Clifford Gon- salues reported a break-in Saturday afternoon on Cen- ter Avenue. Odd The Sheriff's Depart- ment was called to respond to an explosion Friday after- noon on Bailey Road. It turned out the explosion was the result of a science experiment that a pair of boys, 12 and 13, had been working on for school. Collision • A collision between a big rig and a Toyota Corolla at 12:14 p.m. Sunday on northbound Interstate 5, south of Burch Creek and Corning Road, sent three people to the hospital with minor injuries. Hit and run • A hit and run took place at 5:30 p.m. Sunday on Houghton Avenue, north of Gallagher Avenue when a red and white van of an unknown make and model sideswiped a vehicle driven by Ethel Mae Wilson, 73, of Corning. Police reports the show and that it was not a good idea. "I have been very forth- coming when it pertains to a second monster truck show at the Tehama District Fair- ground," Froome said. "With the unprecedented economic times we are all faced with, a second show is going to hurt the long-stand- ing show. I understand and appreciate the fact that the fairground must always look out for ways to generate rev- enue, but, I ask you, at what cost?" Froome reminded the board that his event is a sta- ple in the community. "Instead of working to ensure the stability of this event, you are once again undermining it," Froome said. "I understand that the fairground needs renters, but I feel it's time the Fair Board addressed the issue of why events keep leaving. Pirating off of one of the successful events for a second pay day for the facility is not a solu- tion, it's just trading dollars. This will cause more harm then good in the long run and eventually you will just end up with one renter because it will be tough for both to survive." Eidman said he was not worried about having two shows. "His (Froome's) thoughts are that the area is not big enough for two shows," Eid- man said. "My feeling is, as long as they are five months, apart we'll be fine." Continued from page 1A TRUCKS Larger outages include 1,647 customers in Corning that lost power Tuesday morning due to a broken pole. Another 1,030 cus- tomers in Los Molinos were without power due to a cir- cuit breaker failure around 11:05 a.m., Tuesday. All the outages reported were storm related. In most cases the wind caused wires to slap together, creating the out- ages. Toppled trees and broken limbs contributed to the failures. The weath- er cleared a little on Tues- day afternoon, allowing crews to make good progress on the repairs, PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno said. PG&E expects more outages will occur today as the second wave of the storm hits. The Red Bluff Police Department has prestaged 12 portable stop signs at traffic signals throughout the city in case there are outages affecting the lights. Period of heavy rains are expected through Fri- day with an wind advisory in effect. Wind speeds of 25-45 mph with gusts of up to 60 mph are possible. As of 9 p.m. Tuesday 2.27 inches of rain had already fallen in Red Bluff. Fire Chief Michael Bachmeyer said some relief will come Saturday, but another wet tropical storm is expected by next Wednesday. This first storm was a cold front that brought snow and the next will probably melt the snow, which could cause flooding. Continued from page 1A STORM greater Red Bluff-Cotton- wood area, based on reports from his patients. "Every year it seems like we get a case now and again," Gray said. "But this one's gotten to a lot of places really quick." A vaccine for equine influenza is available, and, if administered nasally, takes effect in 24-36 hours. The vaccine, however, loses its effect after several months and needs to be readministered over the course of the year to remain effective. Because the vaccine is typically given in a cluster of shots, including tetanus and encephalitis shots, ranchers may make the mistake of thinking their horses are already protected, Gray said. The vaccine is common- ly available and can be pur- chased at Gray's office and from other Tehama County veterinarians. The vaccine is not advised for horses who are already showing flu symp- toms, which may include a temperature of 103 to 106 degrees, loss of appetite, hacking cough and conges- tion.
