Tredennick told the board the purchase was a one-time deal and was not made with the intent of picking up additional Sier- REHAB Continued from page 1A the blessing of a number of local officials. Sheriff Clay Parker and Health Services Agency Direc- tor Valerie Lucero both spoke to the success of program’s like Cocellato’s, which are longer and can boast higher success rates than 90-day recovery programs the county offers. Not everyone was convinced Cocellato and his team of volunteers would be enough to police the facility. District Attorney Gregg Cohen, who asked some of the night’s toughest questions and pushed Coccellato on his claim that he had never called law enforcement to any of his facilities, was less enthusiastic. The facility still has yet to prove that it can monitor its clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Cohen said. Welder Jim Robbins, accompanied by his wife Cheryl, are a pair of neighbors who have met Coccel- lato already. The facility has seemingly caused no trouble in the two months it’s been around, Robbins said. “If (Coccellato) is sincere with what he said tonight, let it happen,” Robbins said.

If you're not quite so motivated as you'd like to be, perhaps today's reader tips will get you going SPRING-CLEANING. Last year, I found a gorgeous Michael Kors white nylon and leather hand- bag at T.J. Maxx for an unbelievable price. I gleefully bought it and used it. At the end of the season, I was per- plexed about cleaning it. The nylon turned yellow with spot cleaning, and my dry cleaner wouldn't touch it. I sprayed the really dirty edges with spot cleaner, popped it into a lingerie bag and put it through my washing machine on the gentle cycle in cold water with normal laundry detergent. I was amazed that the bag came out sparkling white and clean. The leather was unscathed, and the brass fittings looked brand-new and shiny! I stuffed it with cotton towels and set it out in the sunshine to dry, and now I have a clean Michael Kors spring handbag! -- Karen C., Tennessee DOUBLE-DUTY DAWN. I love your reader tips and thought I would let you know that the tip from the Cheapskate Solutions booklet regarding using vinegar and Dawn dish soap as a shower cleaner works great. As a bonus, that same mixture is also a fabulous spot remover on clothes. It removed red sauce and chocolate stains that had been through the washer and dryer. I love it. -- Stace H., New Hampshire PASTA PLUMBER. Whenever I cook pasta, instead of draining the hot water down the kitchen sink, I pour the nearly boiling water down one of my bathroom drains. Gunky toothpaste, soap and shampoo melt and wash away. I rarely need to use harsh drain-clean- ing products, and I never have had to call a plumber. -- Barb R., New York makes it shine. However, I've discov- ered that a cheap brand of baby oil does the job, as well. After I apply it, I rub the steel down thoroughly with a soft cloth. I owned a full-line retail bakery for almost 15 years, and this method kept all my stainless steel appliances looking like new more than a decade later. Any "every- day cheapskate" knows that a bottle of generic baby oil is a lot cheaper than a good bottle of olive oil. -- Eunice A., e-mail Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate SHOWER BATH. I recently dis- covered that you can put a plastic shower curtain through the laundry to get rid of the film and gunk at the bottom. For me, a little OxiClean in cold water does the trick very nicely. -- Lynne W., Minnesota SHINY STEEL. A little olive oil rubbed into a stainless steel sink Obituaries MARIO GONZALES Mario Gonzales of Gerber, California passed away on March 18, 2010. He was 7 years old.

He thanked the Obama admin- istration for it its commit- ment to the project in pro- viding the recovery funds. “There were times I never thought we’d get here today,” Sutton said. Sutton thanked a long list of individuals from state senators to his canal authori- ty staff for their support. Gary Schaad, vice chair- man of the canal authority’s board of directors, said he was grateful to reach this point in the project, saying many farmers depend on the water. “We are totally depen- dent on that 2012 comple- tion date,” Schaad said.
