Submitted ShastaCollegeispleased to present "Everybody Has Doglegs," an exhibition of artwork by Gioia Fonda and Terry Peterson. The exhibition is on display through April 20 at the Shasta College Art Gallery. There will be an artist's lecture, 11 a.m. to noon Thursday, March 23 in room 400 with a recep- tion to follow noon to 1 p.m. in building 300. This event is free and open to the public. As the exhibition ti- tle suggests, these art- ists are flaneurs of a sort, wandering about in their artworks with no par- ticular destination in mind—remaining open to unexpected turns and hoping for serendipitous happenings. Gioia Fonda writes, "A dogleg can be many things; I see it as a sort of U-turn or a crooked path, a meandering. This body of work is all about escapism and divergence; doglegs abound through- out these pieces visually, physically and philosoph- ically." Fonda's work includes two-dimensional art- works as well as sculp- tures she calls "mind- scape terrariums." She describes them as, "imag- inary places, little mind- scape terrariums of a uni- verse far away in both time and space from the one we seem to be trapped in here and now." Peterson's kinetic sculp- tures reflect a deep love of craft and form and a quest for unusual art ma- terials. The artist makes art out of things that one might find on a walk- about here in Califor- nia. Picture river wa- ter, trout, sand, abalone shells, redwood, flotsam and jetsam like ocean water, tools, and elec- tronic fragments. Gioia Fonda and Terry Peterson are Sacramento based artists and profes- sors of art at Sacramento City College. Terry Peter- son is also a graduate of Shasta College's art pro- gram. Shasta College Art Gal- lery is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 6-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday.

What do fire extinguish- ers, hard-to-find phone numbers and handy dandy cleaning tools have in common? Nothing other than the fact that three mes- sages involv- ing these topics re- cently showed up in my in- box. Dear Mary: Your re- cent column on fire extin- guishers and the PASS sys- tem got me thinking about my home fire extinguisher. Like yours, I realized that mine has been there so long that it blends in with the decor, which prompted my questions. Do fire ex- tinguishers expire? How can I know whether it's still good? When should I replace it? — Janine Dear Janine: Fire ex- tinguishers do not have an infinite life span. They expire. A typical porta- ble extinguisher that has not been opened remains in good condition for five to 15 years. But you don't have to guess or wonder whether it's fully charged and ready to go. Look for the pressure gauge on the extinguisher itself. Make sure the needle is in the green zone. That indi- cates it is still good. Once that needle moves into the red zone, it should be replaced or recharged. (Small extinguishers for home use are often sin- gle-use products that can- not be recharged.) During a recharge, the extinguisher service com- pany will completely refill the extinguisher and check to make sure it is holding proper pressure. This pro- cess should take 10 to 20 minutes and can often be done at local fire stations or through private service companies. Keep in mind that it may be more cost- effective to purchase a new extinguisher if the one you have is for household use. By the time the recharge is done, it could be the same price as a new one, if not more. Dear Mary: I have fol- lowed your column for years, first in the newspa- per and then online. Your advice is invaluable, and I am grateful for your tips, your common-sense out- look and your generous spirit. Please continue this column. What you do is unique. I recently bought this vacuum hose adapter and was very pleased to find that it was extremely handy and sturdy enough for real work. I've finally been able to reach inside my dryer, up to my bath- room ceiling fan and in other nooks and crannies that have always proved a headache to clean. I used the adapter with your be- loved Shark vacuum. I'm pretty sure you and other Shark fans will discover that the VaccuFlex vacuum attachment is a worthy tool able to tackle the most difficult corners and crev- ices. — Robin Dear Robin: Another great find! When I got your message, I ordered this VaccuFlex vacuum attach- ment kit online so I could test it myself. With Ama- zon Prime shipping, I got it the next day. My clothes dryer has never been so clean. I couldn't believe all the lint I pulled out of the area behind the lint trap. Now I am thinking about so many other places this is going to come in handy.
