Today's reader tips have you and the great outdoors in mind with so many clever ways to save time and money. BIRD FRIENDS. Birds love lint from the dryer. They use it to build their nests. We can help our little feathered friends by throwing dryer lint into the yard for them in the spring. -- Mil, e-mail GLORIOUS GARDENING. I reuse cardboard tubes from paper towels and toilet tissue. Cut the tube to a depth of 2 inches, and place the rings into a plastic saucer or tray. Fit them tightly together, and fill with potting mix. Use these to start your vegetables and flowers from seed! You can plant them directly in the ground, cardboard and all, when the seedlings are strong enough and the ground is warm enough. Happy gardening! -- Angel P., Alabama FREQUENT FIRES. We live in South Africa, where "braaivleis" (similar to an American barbecue) is a popular weekend event. I make my own fire lighters by stuffing used and dried tea bags into a suit- By DENISE SNIDER Special to the DN To provide additional resources to families and continue its mission to help young children reach their fullest potential, First 5 Tehama and community partners will participate in the annual Children’s Fair on April 24 in honor of Week of the Young Child. The Tehama County Educa- tion Foundation and the Tehama County Depart- ment of Education host the event, which features free health screenings, nutrition and fitness activities, safety presentations, educational games and crafts, and infor- mation on local resources for parents and caregivers. All area families are invited to attend this free event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tehama District Fair- grounds in Red Bluff. April is Month of the Young Child and National Child Abuse Prevention month – both reminders of how important a healthy able jar and then filling it with paraffin. When you put the lid on tightly and shake the jar a lit- tle to cover the tea bags, you have lots of lovely fire lighters. -- Janice J., South Africa RUSTIC RECY- CLING. I reused an old washing machine drum to store the outside gar- den hose. I placed it near the outdoor faucet and coiled the hose in it. The old porcelain tub is navy blue with white speck- les, so I didn't even paint it. It fits in well with the "country rustic" look. -- Linda, Georgia HARE CARE. Pro- tect your garden from becoming a buffet for critters. Hook up with a local barber or beauty parlor that is willing to give you the hair that is swept up from the floor. Sprinkle a little hair in the garden itself, and spread the rest around the edges. The animals will smell humans and will not want to go near the area. -- Melissa, e-mail SOOTHING SALVE. Soothe a environment is for a young child’s well-being and healthy development. Stress and responsibility can feel overwhelming for parents and caregivers, but the way you react to your child’s behavior has a lasting impact on his or her self confidence and emotional development. To help all families build positive and supportive rela- tionships, First 5 Tehama offers the following tips for addressing tense situations with your child: • Take several deep breaths until the frustration passes. Remember that you are the adult in the situation. You can also put yourself in "time-out" to remove your- self from the situation and consider what is really caus- ing your anger. • Try and understand the mindset of your child. Con- sider what he or she is like- ly thinking in the situation. Remember that children do not understand the concept of "yes" or "no" until they’re about a year old. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate poison ivy rash this way: Make cof- fee as strong as you can. Add bak- ing soda to make a thick paste. Apply the paste directly on the affected area. Wrap it up tightly, and sleep with the bandage on. In the morning, take the bandage off and cleanse. If necessary, repeat the process the fol- lowing evening. -- Yvonne M., Georgia JAVA JOLT. In an effort to be green, I reuse my coffee filters. I put them in the bottoms of flowerpots so the soil does not wash away. I also mix the used coffee grounds in with my potting soil to use as mulch. -- Leslee H., Cali- fornia Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Debt- Proof Living" and "Tiptionary 2." Strengthening families for the benefit of children • Put your child in "time- out" for a limited period of time (usually one minute per year of age). This will distract your child and help him or her calm down. • Remember a happy time with your child or a time when your child made you laugh. Look at a funny photo of your child to decompress the situation. • Get support by calling a friend or family member when you are tense. You do not need to bear every situa- tion alone. • Model appropriate behavior. Your child watch- es you closely for cues on how to behave. Children imitate parents and care- givers and the old saying, "Do as I say, not as I do" doesn’t work with kids. • Shaking or hitting your child is never appropriate. Physical punishment teach- es your child that violence is a way to solve problems and young children tend not to learn from it. • Shaming or belittling your child damages his or Department of Transportation District 2 will join 11 other Caltrans districts for an all out litter clean up day on Thursday, April 22. Every year it costs California tax- payers millions for cleanup and dis- posal of trash along roadsides.
