AlternativestoViolence is gearing up for Trivia Night 2016 scheduled for October 22 and is seeking community members and businesses to join to sup- port ending domestic vio- lence in Tehama County. Trivia Night is the orga- nization's only fund rais- ing event of the year, with more than 400 members of the community coming together for an evening of trivia, fun and fund- raising. Funds raised sup- port the important work of Alternatives to Violence — a safe place to escape abusive relationships and get assistance with pro- tective orders, education and counseling to build new lives with hope for the future. Trivia Night is your op- portunity to help Alterna- tives to Violence continue this challenging and life- changing work. Supporting Trivia Night is easy and fun. Plan to bring your family, friends, employees and co-workers by reserving a table for 8 for a $120 donation. Give them a night they'll never forget while helping to raise awareness and sup- porting the cost of put- ting on this night of fun and community education. Donating to the si- lent auction and Trivia Night's two ever-popular raffles — gift certificates, retail items, passes to your event or attraction, at whatever level is com- fortable for you — helps raise vital core support for the program and gets the word out that your busi- ness supports healthy re- lationships. Organizers are includ- ing a save-the-date flyer to help plan your support. Please post it in your of- fice or place of business to help get the word out.

ALTERNATIVESTOVIOLENCE Donationssought for Trivia Night auction, raffles Charles Mueller Truck- ing and the Red Bluff Round-Up Association re- cently presented Mercy Foundation North with a check for $16,500 to help support the RN Navigator Program. Each year during the Red Bluff Round-Up the en- tire community comes to- gether as local businesses bid on rodeo day auctions to support their local hos- pital. This year, first time bidders Charles Mueller Trucking won the auction with a bid of $14,000. The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign is a way for rodeos and west- ern events to promote breast cancer awareness and to raise money lo- cally. The campaign was started in 2004 when en- trepreneur and breast can- cer survivor Terry Wheat- ley found a way to blend the support of the west- ern community with a campaign against breast cancer. Since its inception the campaign has raised more than $10 million for breast cancer charities, most of which stays within local communities. "Tough Enough to Wear Pink is a community-wide event and many businesses, service organizations, and individuals participate in the event," said Jolene Ke- men, a Round-Up direc- tor. "Since 2006, Tough Enough to Wear Pink ac- tivities have brought in over $360,000 in dona- tions that benefit St. Eliz- abeth's Community Hospi- tal's breast cancer related services." St. Elizabeth thank the above mentioned sponsors. "We are more than grateful to the Red Bluff Round-Up Association and all the organizations in Te- hama County that partici- pate in Tough Enough to Wear Pink for their contin- ued support and generos- ity, without their help the excellent level of service provided in state-of-the- art centers would not be possible," President Todd Smith said.

Dear Mary: I just read your recent col- umn about the ASUS Chromebook laptop, and I wanted to send a be- lated thank you. A cou- ple years ago I needed to replace my laptop. I had read about the ASUS lap- top on your blog, and I purchased one. The price fit well within my bud- get, and I have been very happy with it. Thank you very much! — Wendy Dear Wendy: Thanks for letting me know how happy you are with your Chromebook. The ASUS Chromebook is an amaz- ing laptop for what it costs — about $269. Dear Mary: You must be able to read my mind. I've been meaning to write you to ask if you have any recommenda- tions for dish towels. Our home is filled with lux- urious dish towels from high-end home furnish- ing stores. They look good, but I cannot wipe up a single stain with them. How is it possi- ble someone could make a cloth that is completely nonabsorbent? I'm tired of dish towels that look nice, but can't even dry my hands. I am purchas- ing a set of the Utopia bar mop towels today — the ones you so highly recommend. It sounds like they are exactly what I need. Please, keep read- ing my mind. — Bronson Dear Bronson: You are not going to be disap- pointed. I have 5 dozen of these perfect, small kitchen towels, and I use them with aban- don — like many peo- ple use paper towels. It's nothing for me to go through eight or 10 of them while preparing and cleaning up a sin- gle meal — for two peo- ple! I have a small ham- per in the kitchen, and I just toss them in there. I launder them in hot wa- ter and detergent with cup of white vinegar dur- ing the final rinse to re- move all of the detergent. That keeps them soft and fluffy. About once a month I add bleach dur- ing the wash to keep them white. I can't wait to hear your review. Dear Mary: What is the best way to get our fifth wheel clean? We live in the Pacific Northwest, and during the winter moss grows on the fiber- glass exterior. Thanks. — Laurel Dear Laurel: There is a product called Wet & Forget that is a moss, mold, mildew and algae stain remover. It comes highly concentrated. It gets to work once diluted with water. Just spray it on. Each time it rains (It rains a lot where you live, right?) Wet & For- get gently removes the moss, mold and mildew. You don't need to scrub or rinse! It really does work. The good news is that Wet & Forget does not contain bleach or tox- ins; it is noncaustic and nonacidic. That makes it safe to use in areas where there may be chil- dren, pets and or vegeta- tion. This product works on any surface you can imagine, from aluminum, to brick, to cement, to stone, to stucco, to other textured surfaces. I'm quite certain this is ex- actly what you're look- ing for to clean up your moss-laden trailer — and keep it clean. As always, let me know what hap- pens.
