Should I add that amount back to my principal every month? Or should I add it to my Visa card payment? I owe $6,124.09, with a minimum monthly payment of $184 at 8.9 percent interest. Please advise. Thank you! -- Sandra T., California Dear Sandra: I'll take what's behind door No. 2, Monty. Serious- ly. More than that, you need to forgo other spending so you can double or triple your credit card payment each month. There is noth- ing as important right now as pay- ing off your unsecured debt. Not cable television, eating out, new clothes or mindless spending that is eating up the money you need to get rid of that debt! Here's something else: You are sitting on a time bomb with that variable-rate mortgage. Should interest rates take off (experts I trust predict that they will), your mort- gage payment could shoot through the stratosphere. Interest rates on fixed-rate mort- gages are still at historic lows right now, which means you still have a window of opportunity to refinance into a fixed rate. But you need care- ful guidance so you don't get ripped off with fees and sneaky terms. I highly recommend that you read "Mind Your Own Mortgage," by Rob Bernabe, and also visit Rob's very useful website, http://www.MindYourOwn- Mortgage.com. You can trust Rob to guide you through the process and give you the confidence you need to get it right. Dear Mary: I want to be frugal and save money, but I'm also very health-conscious about myself and my 98-pound Newfoundland/golden retriever mix. How can I make my own dog bis- cuits and treats? I don't want to spend the money at pet stores because they don't use natural ingredients as I would. Your advice would be much-appreciated. Thank you and woof, woof. -- Paty and Porter, e-mail sure to enjoy!

It is not only a lot of fun but also a great way to use up small amounts of vegetables, meats and other food items that oth- erwise may have gone to waste in your kitchen. There's a really great website, All-natural-dog-treat.com, that's packed with hundreds of pet treat recipes, research and nutrition- al advice for all dog breeds.

The Vandalism Kimmie Lynn Goodrich reported graffiti Tuesday morning at Mill Stream Mobile Park on Tehama Vina Road on a bus stop, stop sign and a nearby vehicle. The com- bined damage was esti- mated to be $120. Odd A woman complained Tuesday afternoon of staff at a Johnson Street busi- ness who were “inappro- priately touching her in an out-of-body sensitivity exchange through flight and broadcasting.” She also complained of sever- al items stolen from her room. Arrest • Brian Wayne Cun- ningham, 36, of Corning was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on charges of resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer following a brief pursuit that began at 7:07 a.m. Tuesday in the area of Palm Avenue and Fig Lane. Corning Police contacted a man acting suspiciously and he gave them a false name. When officers asked for identifi- cation he fled north onto Fourth Avenue. Officers from Corning Police, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department and Califor- nia Highway Patrol set up a perimeter and called in a helicopter for a search. A short time later a woman who said Cunningham was in her back yard flagged down officers. Cunningham was pursued for several blocks before his capture following a brief struggle with offi- cers. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for a sprained ankle and minor scrapes and cleared before being booked into jail without bail.

Collisions • No one was injured in a three-car collision at 7:17 a.m. Tuesday at the intersection of San Benito Avenue and Gerber Road. Bitaliy Beshta, 26, of Sacramento was driving on Gerber Road and had stopped at the intersection with Joshua Pearson, 31, of Red Bluff stopped behind her. Anne Coelho, 40, of Gerber was driving south on San Benito about 55 mph. As Coelho was approaching the intersec- tion Beshta began to make a left turn onto San Beni- to directly in Coelho’s path. Coelho was too close to stop and braked, steering left to try avoid- ing a collision, but was unable to do so. Coelho’s vehicle bounced off Besh- ta’s and into Pearson’s. Coelho and Beshta’s vehi- cles had moderate dam- age and Pearson’s had minor damage. • A collision at 1 p.m. Tuesday on Highway 99W, north of San Benito sent one Gerber woman to the hospital with minor injuries. Maria Alvarez, 28, of Corning was dri- ving south on 99W direct- ly ahead of Trey King, 23, of Gerber and had stopped in for oncoming traffic.

Alvarez, a 10- month-old girl from Corning and King were uninjured, but Alvarez’ passenger Angelica Alvarez, 47, of Gerber was taken by private party to St. Elizabeth Commu- nity Hospital for minor injuries.
