The consumer-credit industry is doing all it can to get your kids to fall for the buy-now, paylater lifestyle. If you do nothing to intervene, statistics indicate that your child is headed for a life that will be severely impacted not by credit -- credit is not the problem here -- but by the debt it can create. When the following three characteristics occur at the same time in the heart and mind of a child, they create a kind of "perfect storm" that has all the likelihood of creating a disastrous situation: 1. Attitudes of entitlement. 2. Financial ignorance. 3. Glamour of easy spending. For our debt-proofing purposes, "entitlement" is that demanding attitude that says, "I deserve it now even if I haven't earned it or cannot pay for it." Some call it the "gimmes," others the "I-wants." No matter what you call it, this attitude is running rampant, and not only among kids. Entitlement affects kids and adults alike. Entitlement is subtle. It creeps into our lives when we compare our lifestyles and possessions to those of the people we respect and want to be below your means, is the best environlike.

Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Spring prescribed burning coming soon to the forest SUSANVILLE — As we move into the spring season, area residents and visitors to the Lassen National Forest could start to notice some smoke in the air. That's because as weather conditions allow for safe and effective burning, spring prescribed burning projects will get underway. In other words, burning will be implemented when air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and fuel moisture are in the desired range; these are some of the parameters identified and used in Prescribed Fire Plans, also known as "prescriptions." Objectives of prescribed burning are to reduce the accumulation of hazardous fuels — dead and fallen trees, dead branches, and brush — that can feed catastrophic wildfires, restore fire-resilient forests by reintroducing fire into the ecosystem, and thereby help return the landscape to a more natural state, improve ecological conditions, via the nutrients released back into the soil from consumed fuels, which leads to greater understory productivity and more forage for wildlife. The combination of thinning and burning done during prescribed treatments also offers benefits to surrounding communities. According to Debbie Mayer, District Fire Management Officer on the Hat Creek Ranger District, treated areas are used to help defend communities against fire. "In several instances on the Lassen National Forest, for example the 2008 Peterson and 2009 Butte fires, treated areas also aided in reducing fire size and lowering suppression costs," said Mayer. Research has also shown that both fire intensity and tree mortality are reduced in stands that are both thinned and prescribe-burned when compared to adjacent untreated stands. The Cone fire, within the Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest on the Eagle Lake Ranger District, is one such example. Projects Area residents and visitors can Police reports The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Curtis Frank Anderson III, 40, Gerber was arrested at Vestal and San Mateo for felony possession of marijuana for sale and selling marijuana. Bail was $30,000. • Jason McKenzie Crabtree, 23, Redding was arrested for felony contacting a minor, arranging a meeting with a minor and attempting to perform lewd and lascivious acts with a child.

The Eagle Lake Ranger District (ELRD) is preparing to implement its spring prescribed fire program. Prescribed burning will occur when weather conditions allow for safe and efficient burning, which could be as early as mid-April and continuing through July. Approximately 1,300 total acres of understory burning will occur in the following locations on the ELRD: Crater Mountain area: 110 acres Pegleg Mountain area: 470 acres Bidwell Springs area: 220 acres Harvey Valley area: 200 acres Dow Butte: 300 acres; Dow Butte is the only project area located within 10 miles of a community (approximately six miles north of Spaulding). Depending on weather conditions during prescribed burning, smoke could be visible from Susanville, the Eagle Lake Basin, and while traveling on Highways 44 and 139 and County Roads A1 and A21. The Almanor Ranger District (ALRD) is planning to implement three prescribed fire underburn projects this spring, weather permitting: Cold Springs project: 35 acres located in eastern Tehama County, 12 miles north/northeast of the community of Cohasset, five miles west of Butte Meadows, and 15 miles due north of Forest Ranch. Prescribed fire is planned along the H-Line Fuel Break, which was constructed cooperatively with Sierra Pacific Industries and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The portion of the fuel break where the prescribed burn will be implemented is a second entry thinby-fire prescription, and this is one stage of moving these units towards a desired fuel loading condition and maintenance for the fuel break. Implementation will occur in April. Smoke from this project will likely be visible from the Valley (Chico, etc.). Turkey project: 126 acres within the Brown Ravine Defensible Fuel • Joshua Kenneth Gayle, 33, Vacaville was arrested for felony petty theft with priors and misdemeanors of driving on a suspended license and hit and run property damage. Bail was $20,000. • Jose Guadalupe Moreno, 32, Los Molinos was arrested at Fern Road and Orange Grove for felony transportation of a controlled substance, stolen property and failure to appear on a felony charge. Bail was $140,000. • Diane Marie Quigley, 21, Red Bluff was arrested on Main Street for felony possession of a narcotic. Quigley had an outstanding case of the same charge. Bail was $15,000. • Justin Bradley Ray, 21, Redding was arrested for The Over 25 years of experience STOVE JUNCTION BBQ PELLETS The North State's premier supplier of stoves Now in Stock!

This project will utilize funding from the National Wild Turkey Federation to improve California black oak forest stands that provide valuable habitat for wild turkeys, as well as a host of other wildlife species. The Turkey burn is located in Butte County six miles northeast of Stirling City. Implementation is planned for May or June, depending on conditions. Smoke will likely be visible from the Sacramento Valley. West Dusty project: Approximately 140 acres of underburning in northern Plumas County. Prescribed fire will be implemented in previously harvested timber units with the purpose of maintaining a DFPZ. The project area is 10 miles northwest of the town of Chester. Because of air quality concerns, this burn could take up to five days of ignition to complete. Implementation is set to begin in May or June, and will be dependent on conditions being favorable for meeting objectives and lifting the smoke up and out of the Almanor Basin. Finally, the Hat Creek Ranger District (HCRD) has plans for spring prescribed burning as follows. Blacks Ridge project area: Approximately 700 acres in the vicinity of Blacks Ridge. Smoke may be visible from the community of Little Valley. North Coble project area: Approximately 500 - 700 acres. Smoke may be visible from the communities of Hat Creek and Fall River Mills, and also from Highway 89. South Station: Approximately 200 to 300 acres, weather permitting. Smoke will likely be visible from the community of Old Station, as well as from Highway 44. The HCRD may also consider some units within the Old Station area if time and weather permit. If burning does take place in this area, smoke may impact the community of Old Station, as well as Highway 44/89. Impacts to all HCRD areas should be minimized by burning under favorable winds and conditions. felony contacting a minor, arranging a meeting with a minor and attempting to perform lewd and lascivious acts with a child.
