Whenever I get a catalog in the mail, I need to call and purchase a few things. Help me! I try to rip them up and discard them, but when another cat- alog arrives, I'm hooked on buying more. It's only clothing that I purchase. I have charged up my credit card, and it's still climb- ing. How can I stop? -- Dorothy, e- mail Dear Dorothy: I don't believe for a moment that you are addict- ed. A really bad habit? Yes. But not a true addiction. As long as you tell yourself you are addicted, though, you give yourself a pass, because you believe you are unable to control the behavior. If you truly want to break this habit, you can. Right now, while you are not looking at a catalog, find a pair of scissors, and cut up your credit cards -- every single one. Next, I want you to tell one person about this bad habit you have, which you are determined to break. Ask this person to make you accountable for your behavior over the foresee- able future. Get a calendar, and mark tomor- row as Day One. Start counting the days that you do not open a single mail-order catalog. The goal is to reach 21 days in a row that you have not looked. Say you fall on Day Three. Don't give up. Instead, pick yourself up and start again, starting back at Day One. I promise that when you have gone for 21 days with- out opening a mail-order catalog, you will have broken that habit. Then plot another 21 days and you will have created a new habit for life. Good luck! In the meantime, go to http://www.Catalog- Choice.org to get off all of the catalog mailing lists. Dear Mary: Help! Mary Hunt I've completed my holi- day shopping, but I'm starting to feel pressured to buy more gifts and fill the house with presents. I want a debt-free Christmas, but I'm getting weak. Can you help? -- Mary Jane, Con- necticut Dear Mary Jane: Take the time to analyze your motives. Are you hoping that more gifts will net you more love and approval? They won't. If you want the house to look more festive, wrap up empty boxes. Still feeling unsatisfied? Write short letters to your recipi- ents, telling them what they mean to you, and tuck the letters in with their gifts. Come Dec. 26, you will be so glad that you didn't second-guess yourself. Dear Mary: I need help cleaning several suede jackets that have stains on the collars from normal body oil and makeup. How can I remove the stains and make the jack- ets wearable again with- out spending a fortune sending them to a leather cleaner? -- Levada, e- mail Everyday Cheapskate Dear Levada: This is one time I suggest you not attempt a do-it-yourself shortcut. If you care about your fine leather items, take them to a pro. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Can I Pay My Credit Card Bill With a Credit Card?" Seasonal restrictions planned forest-wide Lassen National Forest snowmobile and ski routes will be off-limits to wheeled vehicles from Dec. 26 through March 31, 2011. The roads where wheeled vehicles are seasonally restricted from traveling are identi- fied on the recently-pub- lished Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs) that are available at Forest offices and on the Forest website. This year, the Forest added 275 more miles of seasonally restricted roads to protect more ski routes. These restrictions stem from concerns for both resources and visitor safety. “The wet weather we get during the winter soft- ens the ground and roadbeds, increasing the chance of wheeled vehi- cles getting stuck and causing damage," said Forest Supervisor Jerry Bird. “The ruts created by wheeled vehicles in the snow can also result in 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 • Mario Daniel Azeve- do, 37, of Riverbank and Ronald Calvin Butler, Jr. , 36, of Modesto were arrested Tuesday on northbound Interstate 5 at Diamond Avenue. Azeve- do and Butler were booked into Tehama County Jail on charges of possession of and trans- porting or selling a con- trolled substance. Bail was set at $50,000 each. • Francisco Coria Valdez, 23, of Corning was arrested Tuesday at the Tehama County Sher- iff’s Department. He was booked on the charge of illegal entry.

We are working to pro- vide you with a safe and rewarding winter recre- ational experience on your National Forest.” Violation of the road and trail closure is not only dangerous, it can be costly. It could mean a fine of up to $5,000 for an individual, $10,000 for an organization, and impris- onment for not more than six months. Violators could also bear the cost associated with repairing damage to trails. Visitors are reminded that the use of any motorized vehicle is prohibited in designat- ed wilderness areas. The Forest has six major designated snow- mobile areas that offer more than 400 miles of groomed trails. A weekly groomed trail report to keep snowmobilers apprised of conditions will soon begin posting to the Forest website. Fund- was booked into jail on the charges of perjury and bigamy. Bail was set at $145,000. • Melina Mendoza, 21, of Red Bluff was arrested Tuesday at the Tehama County Department of Social Services.

According to Public Services Officer Christopher O’Brien, "This funding allows the Lassen to maintain one of the largest groomed snowmobile trail systems in California." Snowmobiling on Lassen National Forest snow routes can be a great and fun experience. However, snowmobilers are reminded to ride safe- ly and to respect the rules of the Forest. The fol- lowing are some sugges- tions: Always check the weather forecast; never ride alone; make sure you tell someone where you are going and when you will be back; obtain a map of your destination and determine which areas are open to snowmobiles; she approached the inter- section with Kirkwood. Edwards’ cell phone rang and she looked down, failing to notice the girl had slowed and causing minor damage to the girl’s vehicle. Edwards vehicle had moderate damage. Both vehicles moved to side of road afterwards and traffic was not affected by the colli- sion. Crash • Marybel Torres, 27, of Red Bluff received minor injuries from a crash at 11:45 a.m. Tues- day on the onramp from Bowman Road to north- bound Interstate 5, but said she would seek her own aid. For unknown ride only where permitted and respect private prop- erty; wear a helmet, eye protection, and other safe- ty gear; respect the envi- ronment and try not to disturb wildlife; and always use common sense and courtesy when on the trails. Keep in mind that in the event you become stranded, it’s best to stay with your vehicle since it’s much easier to find a vehicle in the Forest than a person on foot.
