ALTERNATIVE CLEANING METHODS PLUS GARDEN, HOBBY SHOP AND PET CARE REMEDIES Provided by SOLID WASTE AGENCY OF NORTHERN COOK COUNTY Many commercial household cleaners and stain removers con- tain hazardous ingredients that are corrosive, flammable, dan- gerously reactive, or can cause health problems such as respi- ratory irritation. The following alternative general purpose (homemade) cleaning methods provide with you less-toxic or non-toxic substi- tutes. Homemade cleaning solutions work best when you prepare them fresh each time you need them. If you want to make up a small quantity to use for a few days in a row, store it in a tightly sealed glass jar out of the reach of children and pets. Use a dark glass jar or store in a closed cabinet. Remember -- to replace the cleaning power of the stronger chemical you choose not to use, you need to figure on provid- ing some additional muscle power or be willing to wait longer (for cleaners to act) or both. While a little more “elbow grease” may have to be used with some of these products, the benefits in terms of improved indoor air quality, decreased exposure to chemicals, fewer waste disposal concerns, convenience, and lower costs should make the switch an easy one to make. The alternative cleaning methods in this guide have been gathered from many different sources that identify alternatives to chemical-based commercially available cleaners. Due to the large num- ber of alternatives presented, SWANCC has not tested any of the methods, makes no representa- tion about their effectiveness or safety, and is not responsible for any damage or injury that may occur. Always use caution when preparing cleaning solutions and test products on small areas to determine the effectiveness and rule out damage to items.

Bristol 12-Year-Old Wins Wewa Fishing Tournament with 35.03 Flathead
Pitts facing long list of charges after See Page 5 for details on the July 4 parade & fireworks in Blountstown allegedly threatening wife with gun & fleeing deputies at over 100 mph THE CALHOUN-LIBErtY Standoff at road 50¢ includes block ends when tax suspect shoots OURNAL JCLJNews.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 2012 Vol. 32, No. 27 himself in chin by Teresa Eubanks, Journal Editor A 51-year-old Calhoun County man is facing a long list of charges after he allegedly threatened to shoot his estranged wife and led deputies on a chase at speeds of over 100 mph and then turned the gun on himself, resulting in a non-fatal wound when he fired a bullet into his chin, according to a report from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office. Hours after getting the initial call June 26 about a disturbance at a residence on H.A. Varnum Road, deputies caught up with Randall Pitts on Boneyard Road off CR 69, just inside Jackson County. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of his black Pontiac Sunfire, which was parked in the middle of the road. When a deputy, using a loud speaker, urged him to resolve the situation without anyone being hurt, Pitts replied: “Just let me die in peace.” Moments later, Pitts sped off, going eastbound on Boneyard Road. After driving about a mile, he came to a roadblock set up by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Pitts stopped in the middle of the road. Deputies drew their guns and took cover. RANDALL PITTS Pitts ignored deputies as they repeatedly attempted to talk him into peacefully resolving the standoff.

Hair Is Made of Strong Elastic Strands of Protein Called Keratin. the Sources of Hair Are Very Small Tiny Pockets in Our Skin and Scalp Known As Follicles
Hair Hair is made of strong elastic strands of protein called keratin. The sources of hair are very small tiny pockets in our skin and scalp known as follicles. These follicles are found together in groups of two to five each. Every follicle follows a life cycle of its own producing about six inches of hair a year for as long as four years before it falls out and then starts all over again after a short period. The basal tip of the hair in the scalp is known as papilla which is a small out-growth of the skin shaped like a doorknob and lying at the tip of the follicle. The papilla contains the blood vessels to supply nourishment to the hair. During the active period the new cell growth pushes the older part of the hair away from the papilla until the hair falls out. It is the pattern of cell growth at the papilla which determines whether hair grow straight, wavy or curly. The growth pattern usually becomes uneven during the adolescence when the hair growth is at its peak. It declines as we grow older. Though hair strands look as singular fibres, each hair is constructed in three different layers: the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. Cuticle The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair which provides protection to the inner cortex layer. It is made up of flattened, hard, horny cells. Cortex The cortex is the second layer of hair. The qualitative properties of strength, elasticity, pliability, direction and growth pattern, width and the texture of hair depend on the composition of the cortex.

Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
WTD 24 pgs 8-13 alt to 5:WTD 04 pgs 08-12 9/29/09 9:57 AM Page 8 Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN by D.E. McIvor In Sharp Practice, author Anders Larsen reports that 90% of men shave at least once a day. That works out to about 20,000 shaves in an average lifetime or five months in front of the mirror. You could choose to sport a beard and find something else to do with those five months, or you could hit the workshop and come out with a project that makes shaving enjoyable. And don’t think this project is only for half the world’s population—women can covet the sensuous suds this set and a good bar of soap will produce. The shaving brush and mug set offers three of the four basic challenges in woodturning. The mug is face-turned, the brush handle is spindle-turned, and a good project will require careful design. A successful design is critical to small-scale turning, particularly when you hope to end up with a piece that is functional and comfortable to use—something that may actually make you want to hit the sink for that 17,574th shave! Because wood and water don’t mix, keep in mind when choosing raw material that you’re creating a piece that will spend its life in one of the harshest environments for wood. The mug, in particular, will get a lot of exposure to moisture with little opportunity to dry between uses. Although these pieces are small, you also want them to have some density.
