The assignment was simple: Write down 10 things for which you are grateful. I even suggested that they send me their lists. My mailboxes were sizzling for days. Weeks later, lists are still trickling in. The responses were all heartwarming, but perhaps none as poignant as the one from Allie, a high school student. "I am having a really tough time in high school right now, and even though most times I have positive thoughts and attitudes, sometimes it gets really hard, but I usually catch myself and try to reverse the negative thoughts into positive ones. After reading this I wanted to send you my 10 good things in life. 1. I have a caring family. 2. I have amazing friends. 3. I have the opportunity to wake up in the morning. 4. I am able to watch the snow fall. 5. I am able to go skiing with my friends in the winter. 6. I was able to be at the beach this last summer for a whole week without my parents. 7. I was blessed to have a special person in my life that is now in a better place. 8. I have another very special you.

Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Medicare counselors needed Passages Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) is looking for individuals to become Volunteer HICAP Counselors who help people on Medicare navigate the complex healthcare system. Beginning in 2011 the first baby boomers began to enter Medicare and it is estimated that over 10,000 boomers turn 65 each day and they'll keep turning 65 through 2029. Why should boomers or anybody choose to volunteer? Research has proved that volunteering is beneficial to the volunteer, and that there is a strong relationship between volunteering and the health of volunteers. Volunteers have lower mortality, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression. Comparisons of the health benefits of volunteering for different age groups have shown that older volunteers are the most likely to receive greater benefits from volunteering. Historian Steven Gillon calls boomers "the largest single generation in our country's history" and by volunteering boomers can continue the idealism the generation is known for. After thorough training both on and off the job, HICAP volunteers help clients understand Medicare, including supplemental and drug insurance, Medicare health plans and long term care coverage. Volunteers become registered with the California Department of Aging, and provide answers to many questions and problems that confront Medicare recipients. Interested candidates can call Tim Sonnenburg at 898-6641 for a job description and application. Informational orientation will be held July 16 and training will begin Aug. 12. HICAP is a program of Passages, an organization dedicated to help older adults and family caregivers with important services to empower them to remain confident in their ability to sustain and enjoy independent lives.

Ask DMV — Answers to common DMV questions Do you have questions about general driving related requirements like registration or insurance? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. "Save Time, Go Online," at www.dmv.ca.gov. You can submit any DMV-related questions at AskDMV@dmv.ca.gov Q. I recently purchased a car from a local dealership, and I was told by the sales staff that I had a 3 year warranty. I went back to the dealer where I bought the car for repairs but they told me the warranty had already expired last year. The car is used and I was told the dealer's warranty started when the previous owner bought the car. My main issue is that the sales staff told me I had enough warranty until the end of the year but now I'm told the warranty actually expired last year. What should I do? A. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle purchase. Most manufacturer warranties are time and mileage based upon the original date of reported sale, or first date of operation in the case of Dealer Demo vehicles. Most are transferable, however, that varies amongst vehicle manufacturers. The DMV Investigations Division diligently enforces laws, rules, and regulations that apply to new and used vehicle dealers, brokers, dismantlers, registrations services, vehicle verifiers, driving schools or traffic violator schools, and other vehicle-related businesses. If you'd like to file a consumer complaint against any of the abovelisted groups, please fill the Record of Complaint Form. Follow the directions for completing the form and then mail it to an Investigations office in your area-see address listing on form: http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/forms/inv/i nv172.pdf Q. Is it true that minors are never allowed to use cell phones when driving, even with a hands-free device? A. That is correct. It is against the law for a minor to use a cell phone while driving, even one that is equipped with a hands-free device. Drivers under age 18 are only to use their cell phones when the vehicle is safely stopped or parked. If a minor violates this law, they will be subject to fines. The only exceptions to this law are in the event that a minor must use a cell phone in an emergency situation to contact law enforcement, a health care provider, the fire department, or another emergency entity.

Significantly dry conditions are present due to historically low precipitation and high temperatures. Everyone has the responsibility to prevent human-caused wildfires. Please use extreme caution when traveling on highways. One fire impacting a highway is the Kyburz fire located east of Placerville, Calif. on the Eldorado National Forest. The fire began the afternoon of 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 • Joseph Arthur Alt- July 8 near the community of Kyburz. It is impacting travel on State Route 50. You can help prevent these destructive fires by following some simple guidelines: Be wheel safe – Check tire pressure. Driving on an exposed wheel rim throws sparks. Be prepared – Carry a shovel and a fire extinguisher in your vehicle and Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV). Follow all public-use restrictions and access closures – It is important to check with local agencies about any closures before venturing off road. Keep vehicles off dry grass – Exhaust systems can heat up to 1,000 degrees and ignite adjacent grasses and shrubs. Check your spark arrester – Before heading outdoors, clean your OHV spark arrester. This will reduce the chance of a spark starting a wildfire. Nothing dragging – Make sure vehicles are properly maintained with nothing dragging on the ground. We can all make a difference in reducing human-caused fires during this season. Remember One Less Spark – One Less Wildfire.
