Whether it's dinner during the week, baking for the holidays or cooking for a crowd, I enjoy trying new recipes and making the family favorites. And I am always looking for ways to cut the fat and keep the flavor. Today's first tip got my attention! FLAVOR, NOT FAT. In the South, we like to cook our veggies in bacon drippings. However, with health and weight issues, it's frowned upon. I wondered why I liked the bacon fla- vor so much and suspected that it was the "smoked" flavor. Now when I cook vegetables, I add a couple of drops of liquid smoke instead of bacon drippings. It tastes great; just be careful not to add too much. -- Susie, Oklahoma STYLE CONVERSION. I had a red dress I liked, but when the styles changed it was too short. One day I slipped a gray skirt over the dress, and it looked great. The top of the dress made a beautiful blouse, and the skirt took the place of a slip. -- W.W., email D.I.Y. FOOD SEALER. My do-it- yourself food sealer requires only a The Red Bluff Fire Department will be con- ducting a drill Thursday evening at Red Bluff Union High School in the plastic bag, aluminum foil and my iron. I place a piece of aluminum foil over both sides of the end of the bag I'm sealing. Then I run a hot iron over the foil. Just make sure there's foil on both sides of the plastic so it doesn't stick to the iron- ing surface. No expensive sealing gadget required. -- Shellie, Texas just as if I were sewing with thread. The floss threads through a needle just like regular thread. It's invisible, very durable and will not rip out again. I have sewn up many dog toys and my kids' stuff animals, and they are still going strong. -- Kay, Illinois SAVE ON TEAM PHO- HIRE THE KIDS. I hired my kids to clip and organize the grocery coupons. It's a great way to teach them about saving money. They're in charge of clipping, organizing and accompanying me to the store. Whatever savings we receive from the coupons we use, it's theirs. My kids have quickly learned the unimportance of brand loyalty. -- Lenore, California DENTAL FLOSS FOR SEWING. Dental floss works great for sewing up holes in stuffed animals. I take clear dental floss and sew up the rip Performing Arts Center.

Neighbors and parents year, everyday choices we make directly dictate the quality of life for the residents of Tehama County. The Tehama County Sanitary Landfill Agency encourages Tehama County residents to conserve natural resources through rethinking how we all handle waste. This includes waste reduction, reuse, recycling and com- posting efforts as well as minimizing the production of hazardous waste. Reducing the amount of waste we generate is a great starting point in conserving natural resources. Here are few Waste Reduction tips to fol- low: In your home and garden, try • Resealable, reusable containers for lunch and leftovers instead of plastic bags/wraps and foil. • End excessive junk mail, contact sender to remove you off their list. • When spring cleaning or moving, have a yard or swap sale instead of throwing items out. Donate items to charities or post the unwanted, use- able items on FreeCycle, Craigslist or CalMAX. For clothes in poor condi- tion, turn into cleaning rags. • Give old magazines and books to nursing homes, charities, schools, 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.

Celebrate conservation; waste reduction tips Though Earth Day is one day a lawn. This helps to recycle nutrients, does not produce thatch, and reduces the amount of time and money you spend on lawn care. Clippings can also be mixed with leaves and brush as a simple mulch to protect the soil, suppress weeds and conserve water. • Composting: use grass clip- pings, together with yard waste, veg- etable & fruit scraps, coffee grounds and filters, tea bags, stale bread and eggshells to make soil out of your food and yard waste. Contact the Landfill Agency at 528-1103 for additional composting tips. When purchasing please consid- er ing you buy, reuse what you can, and recycle the rest. • Reducing the amount of packag- • Looking for products without packaging - tools, fresh produce, dry goods. • Avoiding individually wrapped portions (cheese slices, juice, candies, etc.). Purchase items from bulk bins when available. • Avoiding disposable, single-use products. Consider reusable plates, cloth napkins, and kitchen towels. 5:56 a.m. Tuesday in the 22000 block of Riverview Drive in Lake California was caused by a lamp falling onto a pil- low that caught fire.

The community is encour- aged to join the Agency to improve our own health standards and that of the environment by thinking through our daily choices.

There are far too many opportunities to spend excessive amounts of money on pre-packaged sports pho- tos. Instead of avoiding the pictures entirely and missing a memory, I take my camera to the team photo shoot. There is plenty of time and space to stand out of the photographer's way and snap my own shots. I have recycling information visit www.tehamacountylandfill.com or call the Tehama County/Red Bluff Landfill at 528-1103 for more tips.
