and know that I helped make that smile That smile that is so
like the smile you see when someone who loves you walks
into a room. Yes, I am a fool for love and I love art. So this
fool is going to continue to rush in where the angels wouldn't
go on a bet. 1 just need some help from other fools and
lovers. The Left Coast group has $1240 in the bank I need
$760 immediately to send Sally’s book to the printer, and then
another $2000 in six to eight weeks to get 1000 copies back
I am planning some local events to raise funds, but I would
like to ask all of the readers of the Upper Left Edge, especially
those who visit our web site, to do what they can to help these
projects. All donations are tax deductible, thanks to the
Cannon Beach Arts Association, a 5O1C3 non-profit
corporation. Just send your donation to the le ft Coast Group,
Box 1222. Cannon Beach, OR 97110. Make checks payable
to the Cannon Beach Arts Association if you want the tax
deduction and put Left Coast Group on the memo line. If you
don't care about the deduction just make it to the Left Coast
Group. Any donation over $100 will get you copies of a the
books we have published so far, as well as Wildlife on the
Edge, North Coast, and the chap books, as they come off the
press Thanks, I love you.
Mo’ Stuff
This month some of Sally Lackaff’s illustrations for
Charles Le Guin’s novel North Coast are scattered throughout
the paper. Your beloved editor and his new band the
Phoreheads will be appearing in Portland this month; see the
music page for a listing. And for some more bulletins: we at
the Edge seem to get an inordinate amount of press releases
about all kinds of stuff, some, in the mail, some from the net
as e-mail and some are handed to us across the bar at Bill's.
So, briefly, to fulfil, our task as a newspaper of record, we
will pass them on to our readers. One frightening new
political move on the part of the multinational industries is
the MAI treaty; contact Agatha Schmaedick at 503-343-5717
or agatha@gladstone for more scary information. And yet
another attempt to fool you is the efforts by the major
chemical corporations to define “organic” as anything they
chose. You can call 800-357-2211, or on-line, contact
www.saveorganic.org. for more information.
Locally there is a need for someone to fill a vacancy on the
Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Association Board; you can call
436-1581 for more info. Also there is a need for support for
the Adult Literacy program locally; call 800-228-8813 to find
out how you can help.
There’s a Spring Garden Seminar a, Astoria High School,
April 4th, with Ketzal Levine. Call 503-325-8573 if you
wish to participate.
O f all the articles that 1 have w ritten the one I
have received the most requests for copies o f or
additional inform ation on was about cleaning
products that are non-toxic. So in the spirit o f spring
cleaning here are a few different non-toxic cleaning
recipes. 1 have tried all o f these and they work. They
are all made from inexpensive easy to find materials.
So on the next sunny day you have free open your
windows and let the spring cleaning commence.
* O V EN CLEANER: Commercial oven cleaning
products work well but the fumes are not my idea o f
m aking my house feel fresh and clean. A method I
use to avoid cleaning the oven is to catch spills
quickly before they get cooked onto the oven surface
for too long In a cold oven place a small bowl o f
ammonia on the top rack and a bowl o f boiling water
on the bottom rack. Close door overnight. In the
m orning wipe out the bottom o f oven w ith a wet
soapy sponge.
O V E N SPILLS: Pour salt onto spill and let it sit for
5 minutes. Then wipe up w ith damp sponge or rag.
M IL D E W STAINS: rub gently w ith a lemon cut in
half. I f the stains w ill not come oflT make a paste by
m ixing 2 cups baking soda and 1/2 cup water. Using
a sponge wipe away m ildew w ith the paste. To
remove m ildew from grout apply paste w ith a
toothbrush and gently scrub. How do you keep your
plastic SHOWER CURTAINS m ildew free? Soak
them in salt water before hanging them up. I know
this sounds bizarre but it does work.
W ATER SPOTS: remove by rubbing gently w ith
rubbing alcohol. Another method is to rub gently
w ith white toothpaste
CLOGGED DRAINS: M ix equal parts baking soda,
salt and vinegar. Pour down drain, let sit for 15
minutes. (It w ill foam) Flush drain w ith a pan o f
boiling water.

Every man is a damn fool for at least five
minutes everyday; wisdom consists of not
exceeding the limit.
— Elbert Hubbard
A L U M IN U M PANS: F ill pot w ith water and add
baking soda (ratio 1 quart water to 1/2 c. soda). B o il
5 minutes. When 1 do this I add more soda as my
pans tend to get really dingy.
M U S T Y PLASTIC CONTAINERS: Refresh them by
pouring a teaspoon o f vanilla onto a sponge and
w iping container. Then wash w ith soap and water.
Another method is to crush up newspaper and place
in container. Put cover on and leave overnight. Then
wash w ith soap and water. This also works in
garbage cans.
GREASE CUTTER: Add a tablespoon o f vinegar to
the soapy water and it w ill help cut grease. Works
well on appliances, dishes and counters.
C A N OPENERS: Many o f us forget that hand or
electric can openers often get food splashed on them
which can create a germ breeding surface. Clean
routinely w ith hot soapy water and 1 Tablespoon
vinegar.
A R T IF IC IA L S ILK & D R IED FLOWERS: Place in
a bag fille d 1/2 way w ith salt and shake. Trust me it
really works.

Let us be thankful for fools. But for
them the rest of us could not succeed.
- M ark Twain
S M A L L N EC KE D VASES & GLASS VESSELS:
F ill w ith water and add a denture cleaning tablet. Let
sit for 20 minutes and rinse w ith clean water.
PHOTOGRAPHS: Rub w ith a piece o f bread. I have
never tried this but a friend o f mine who owns a
photography store does it routinely!
COUNTER STAINS. Pour club soda onto stain, let
sit a few minutes then wipe clean. I f stain is still
there try soaking a paper towel in hydrogen peroxide
and laying it over the stain. Place a heavy frying pan
over the toweling and let it sit for an hour. Wipe
clean.
The important thing to remember when trying to
cut down on the toxic products and aerosol cans we
use is that there are many simple remedies that work
just as well. Most o f the above listed "recipes" are
ones our grandmothers used effectively. Products do
not have to be made commercially to be effective.
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art.
