As families settle into bed- times, lunches and home- work, I've pulled out a few of my favorite back-to- school tips -- with the hopes of making this transition a little easier (and cheaper, too!). ASSIGNMENT BOOK. If your child is forgetful about homework and household chores, get a special notebook for writing down assign- ments. This will give your young- ster an incentive to keep track of homework, just like Mom and Dad jot down appointments in their spe- cial books. ARTIST SMOCKS. Old pillow- cases can be turned into inexpen- sive smocks for kids to use when finger painting or doing other messy stuff. Just cut two holes on each side for the arms and one large one at the top for the head. BARTER. Whether it's an educa- tion for your children or for your- self, you may be able to barter for the tuition. Offer to clean the music teacher's house in exchange for piano lessons or work in the office of the preschool. Whatever you do well may be just what the tutor, pri- vate school or university needs des- perately. The school year has officially that you would have tossed. Place in the oven until melted, about 20 minutes. When the crayons are melted and the colors have run together, remove and allow to cool in the refrigerator until Pop the big crayon out of the can, and your kids will have a big new rain- bow crayon. Note: Don't stir when crayons have melted or you'll have a new Crayola color: Mud. BOOK COVERS. Instead of buying expen- sive laminated book cov- ers, use clear contact paper. It is much cheaper and performs equally well. hard. ened gelatin. Divide into as many portions as you choose to have col- ors (four or five is best). Add food coloring to each portion. Note: A pinch of detergent added to each color makes cleanup easier but eliminates the edible feature. MATS. Cover your kids' drawings with clear self- adhesive contact paper, and use them as placemats. You can also give these great works of art to the grand- parents as gifts. FINE ART AS PLACE- Mary Hunt BIG CRAYONS. Clean out a small, flat can (tuna-like). Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Fill can part- way full of broken and small crayon pieces (paper wrappers removed) You'll need one envelope unfla- vored gelatin softened in 1/4 cup warm water, 3 tablespoons granu- lated sugar, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 2 cups cold water and food coloring. Mix together sugar and cornstarch. Add water, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat, and add soft- CHALKBOARD. Instead of buying an expensive chalkboard for your kids, purchase a piece of clear plywood and chalkboard paint (available at any paint store) for less than $20. Paint according to instructions. EDIBLE FINGER-PAINTS. Everyday Cheapskate Cover a large piece of card- board with flannel using glue, staples or tape. Cut shapes from felt like rec- tangles, squares, triangles, circles, trees, letters and numbers, and so on. Kids will spend hours creating scenes and pictures by sticking the felt to the flannel.

Disabled parking violation on the rise The Red Bluff Police Depart- ment has seen a significant increase in drivers, without disabled license plates or placards, parking in park- ing stalls designated for disabled people. All disabled parking stalls should be distinctively marked. The markings consist of painted blue stall lines, a painted wheel chair emblem, and a sign indicating the stall is a disabled parking stall. Many times, drivers find the open disabled parking stall, which are typically close to the entrance of a business or public building, and park believing they will only By ANTHONY SIINO MediaNews Group A Magalia man Friday announced his candidacy for Doug LaMalfa's recently vacated state 4th District Sen- ate seat. Democrat Mickey Harrington ran for Assembly seats in the past three elections and felt he had to run to "give people a choice," he said. Assemblymen Dan Logue, R-Loma Rica, and Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, have announced their candidacies for the seat as well since LaMalfa resigned on Sept. 1. "I wasn't planning on running for this one, you know," Harrington said. confirming his candidacy: jobs, education and universal health care. Jobs weren't a major talking point in his previous 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. Arrests •A woman reported at 3:39 a.m. Monday being awakened by noises in her yard and finding a man she had never seen before on her back porch. The woman said the man was making odd statements and told her he was look- ing for his dog. She also reported that, in order to get in her back yard, the man would have had to jump a six-foot fence. Jar- rod Alan Janeway, 35, of Cottonwood was arrested at the same address and booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge of possession of a con- trolled substance. Bail was set at $15,000.

Bail was $15,000. • Someone named Kirk Barnes reported a man named Norm held a knife to his throat after he made a comment about the food to the man's wife that the man felt was inappropri- ate. Norman Lee Talley III, 29, was arrested and booked on the charge of criminal threats.

Meanwhile, someone who truly needs the stall might find it occu- pied and will have to find another parking stall. citations a person can receive. RBPD would like to remind The disabled parking violation includes drivers who park in areas designated for wheel chair ramps. These stalls are either to the right or left of a disabled parking stall and marked with horizontal lines. Some say "no parking, wheel chair accessible" and others just have the painted lines. The fine for parking in a dis- abled parking stall is $275 and is certainly one of the most avoidable drivers who have a disabled plac- ard rather than the disabled license plates, to please remember to display the placard whenever they are occupying a disabled parking stall. RBPD would also like to encourage residents to telephone the police department to report any disabled parking violators to the Red Bluff Police Department at 530-527-3131. The RBPD Traffic Unit will be conducting increased targeted enforcement, focusing on drivers who violate this section. Harrington announces candidacy for state Senate seat candidacies, but it was obvious he needed to address the problem, he said. He discussed three important platform points after "I'm strong about getting jobs, and jobs for our mil- itary people coming back," Harrington said. His focus on education centers on giving teachers more time to educate students directly, he said. The increase in class sizes over recent years worries him in particular. "We're hurting our children by not getting them a good education by the fact that they're crowded." As for universal health care, Harrington believes that in times where people are losing their medical plans and their jobs, ensuring coverage is especially important. "I want people to be covered," he said. Harrington is retired and currently serves as presi- dent of the Central Labor Council of Butte and Glenn Counties. He spent 21 years with PG&E and was part of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. block of Enos Road. Nothing further was avail- able.
