Section 5405.3 of the State Outdoor Advertising Act allows an exemption for the placement of Temporary Political Signs along certain state highways. These signs are not to be placed within the state right of way. If the signs are within view of a state highway, candidates must file a Statement of Responsibility form with Cal- trans. A Temporary Political Sign meets the following criteria: 1. Encourages a particular vote in a scheduled election. 2. Is placed no sooner than 90 days prior to the scheduled elec- tion and is removed within 10 days after that election. 3. Is no larger than 32 square feet. 4. Has a statement of responsi- bility form filed with the Depart- ment of Transportation certifying a person who will be responsible for removing the signs. State law directs the Depart- ment of Transportation to remove unauthorized temporary Political Signs and bill the responsible party for their removal. For more information or copy of the form "Statement of Respon- sibility" for Temporary Political Signs, please go to: http://www.dot.ca.gov/oda/politi- cal_signs.htm.

I thought I had saved the arti- cle that you wrote about the bread dough that you make and refrigerate so that you can bake daily. Now I can't find it. Where can I get the recipe for that dough? -- Deb D., e-mail Dear Deb: I'm certain you are referring to the master recipe from the book "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day," by Jeff Hertzberg, M.D., and Zoe Francois. The method described in their book, complete with very precise instruc- tions and recipes for what to do with the dough beyond just basic daily bread, is revolutionary. Basically, you make a batch of dough, store it in the refrigerator and pull out a big wad to bake whenever you want fresh, home- made bread. I am going to refer you to Jeff and Zoe's blog, at http://www.ArtisanBreadInFive.co m. You will find the recipe there, as well as lots of helpful discussion with Jeff, Zoe and other home bread-makers. Dear Mary: I am 60 years old, and I plan to retire in five or six years. I had to file for bankruptcy this year because of three layoffs, which forced me to live off my credit cards after my savings were depleted and my home was foreclosed on. Now I am renting a condo. My credit is ruined, but I still have an income. I bring home $1,200 every two weeks. When I retire, I will receive a pension of $350. I also have a small 401(k) account through the company that cur- rently employs me, to which I contribute $100 a month. What is the best strategy going forward, seeing as I don't owe anything? Should I con- tribute more to my 401(k), or should I send extra cash to a regular savings account? -- Linda, e-mail Dear Linda: You don't mention Social Security, so I am going to assume that you will qual- ify for Social Security benefits, in addition to that small $350 monthly pension, once you reach the full retirement age of 66. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate were to retire in five or six years, even with Social Security. If you can, you should work until age 70. Then you would qualify for the maximum Social Security benefit. This also would give you a full 10 years to contribute to your 401(k) plan. Begin living more fru- gally than you ever dreamed possible right now so you can contribute the maximum to your 401(k) account. It is imper- ative that you avoid using credit. You cannot afford to fall back into debt. If you were to contribute $300 pretax each month for the next 10 years and see modest growth of 5 percent annually, you would accu- mulate another $47,000 in your retirement account by age 70. It's not great, but it's better than what you are looking at right now. If the U.S. economy were to come roaring back, you would do even better. Do you have a question for Here's the problem I see: You could easily live for 30 years in retirement. Based on the limited information you've shared, I do not see how you would survive if you Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Helping parents with diaper duty Cloth and disposable diapers cost a lot. Cost estimates show that dis- posable diapers will run around $50 to $80 per month, using a diaper ser- vice will cost the same and laundering your own cloth diapers will cost $25 to $60 per month. Across the nation fam- ilies are unable to provide their children with an ade- quate supply of diapers. Low-income families in Tehama County often have to decide whether to buy food or diapers. Help the Tehama County Health Partner- ship give these families a much needed break and donate a package of dia- pers. During the entire month of October, dona- tions can be brought to local Family Resource Center — Corning: 1488 South St.; Los Molinos: 7700 Stanford Ave.; Red Bluff: 220 Sycamore St., Ste. 101. For more information, call 527-6824 or 1-800- 655-6854.
