Ifyou'veeverhadabig ol' ugly red stain in your otherwise beautiful car- pet, you know the meaning of heartbreak. You've tried everything to get it out, but still it's there. What you wouldn't give to find some kind of magic potion that would erase it once and for all. Right? Well, today is your lucky day because you're about to discover just what that potion is. RED CARPET STAIN SOLUTION. Need to re- move a horrible carpet stain left by a red drink? Or coffee? Try Folex, which is a clear spray in a non-aerosol bottle. It is available online for about $10, and also at some Walmart and The Home Depot stores. Simply spray the stain and work the product into the stained fibers with your fingertips. Blot with a clean cloth. No rinsing is necessary. I've used Folex on dark red wine stains, on ivory-colored carpet and also on the shadows of old coffee stains. Fo- lex removed every trace. I highly recommend! — Re- becca ABANDONED PHONE CHARGERS. Once on a trip, I forgot to pack a phone charger. I was so desperate, I asked at the hotel's front desk if they had one I might use. A security guard took me to the storage room where there were at least 12 large plastic bins full! I dug through the spa- ghetti-like mess and found one. When I offered to re- turn it, he said, "Keep it, we probably have 300 more just like it!" Some- how, someone needs to figure out how to get lo- cal hospitals that could re- ally use phone chargers for their patients and nearby hotels (that have way too many) together on this phone charger issue! I al- ways enjoy your columns. Thanks! — Deborah DEHUMIDIFIER RE- BATE. Mary's review and recommendation for a home dehumidifier came at just the right time. I was able to purchase one at my local home store and also discovered that it qualified for a $25 rebate from my electric company. It's possible that other en- ergy providers are offering a similar rebate on an En- ergy Star rated dehumidi- fier. It can't hurt to ask. — Brett FREEBEE FIRE START- ERS. I make my own fire starters from dryer lint, cardboard egg car- tons and old candle stubs. To get started, place an empty carton near the clothes dryer. As you clear the lint trap of the dryer, don't throw the stuff in the trash. Instead, stuff it into the egg holes as tightly and as much as each will hold. Once all are filled, melt old candles in a tin can that has been placed in a pot of water over medium heat on the stovetop. Remove the lid off the egg carton and place it under the bottom half to make it double-strength. Carefully pour hot wax over all until the lint in each compartment is well-satu- rated. Once cooled, break into 12 cubes. When you need to light a fireplace, campfire or other type of fire, place a few in the bottom of the fire and light. Once ig- nited, place wood on top, sit back and enjoy. — Janet Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

"The open house gives folks the rare opportunity to walk onto the sanctuary and view wild mustangs in a natural setting," said Di- anne Nelson, co-founder and president. "It is also an opportune time to thank our Wild Horse Sanctuary friends and supporters and share our story with others who aren't aware of what we do." For 38 years the Wild Horse Sanctuary has been rescuing wild horses and burros and providing them a home. Today some 300 wild horses and bur- ros freely roam the 5,000- acre sanctuary in the foot- hills near Lassen Volcanic National Park.

The sanctuary is at 5796 Wilson Hill Road near Shingletown. For more information and directions, visit www. WildHorseSanctuary.org or call 474-5770. WILD HORSE SANCTUARY Annual open house set for Saturday in Shingletown The Tehama County Photo Club is hosting its 2016 Images From A Glass Eye International juried photography show, which opens with a reception 5-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19 at the Tehama Country Visitor Center Gallery, 250 Ante- lope Blvd. in Red Bluff. The show will feature 40 images by photographers from around the world in- cluding some of the best in the north state. Juror Sean Arbabi said he found it challenging se- lecting the images from a record submission of close to 500 entries. "I enjoyed judging and thoroughly reviewed all of the images multiple times before making selections," Arbabi said. "The tough- est aspect is selecting im- ages when there are no cat- egories, because it becomes extremely subjective, and comparing completely dif- ferent subjects and tech- niques is not easy." Local photographers se- lected for the exhibit from Red Bluff are Amy Brown, Jeny Crews and Adam Wyman. Cottonwood pho- tographers are Shelley Ed- wards and Stephanie Luke. Those attending the open- ing reception will have the opportunity to meet many of the artists and ask ques- tions about their photogra- phy on display. Arbabi will present the $2,650 in awards and com- ment on the winning en- tries. Winners will receive the following: Best in Show $1,500; second place, $500; $250 for third place and four awards of merit of $100. The show is open to the public and will con- tinue through Oct. 21. A commercial travel photographer and author for more than 25 years, Arbabi specializes in ad- venture, lifestyle, nature, travel and studio work for adverising, corporate and editorial clients. His first book, "The Better Photo Guide to Exposure," gives readers an idea of the tech- nical skills needed to take their creativity to the next level. His second book, "The Complete Guide to Nature Photography," is a testament to Arbabi's pas- sion for the outdoors. Arbabi will conduct a photography workshop open to all photographers on Saturday, Aug. 20 in Red Bluff. He will bring his unique perspective on each topic covered. Partic- ipants will come away in- spired with extra tools to improve their skills and stretch their photographic imaginations. The workshop will in- clude an outdoor photo shoot at a Red Bluff ranch and an indoor session on methods of utilizing pro- cessing software and cri- tiques of participants' pho- tos.
