Arrests • Lori Dionne Elderidge, 37, of Red Bluff was arrested Tues- day at Walmart. Elderidge, also known as Lori Dionne Smith and Lori Dionne Wells, was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge How to respond to social obligations Dear Mary: I've been invited to three different "jewelry/candle" home parties within a two- month period. I live in a small community where everybody knows almost everybody. I don't want to step on toes, but how do I say no to these parties? It's really hard, especially when most of the ladies I know who sell this stuff are my church friends. -- Sara C., Califor- nia Dear Sara: This is a good exam- ple of what I call a "social obliga- tion." These are situations that find you sitting with co-workers in a restaurant, searching the menu madly for anything you can afford. Or you're at a friend's house where you are expected to buy a $25 can- dle you just saw at Walmart for $2.19. You have to prepare your mind ahead of time for how you will respond when you feel socially obligated. If you have the money and you want to spend it on eating out or buying pricey candles, great. If not, don't even go to the restaurant or the home party. Instead, when invited to anything for which you are not prepared to spend money, say sim- ply: "Thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately the money I've ear- marked for (eating out, fun stuff for TWO Continued from page 1A who lost to Mayor Gary Strack in November’s race, have sent letters to Clerk-Recorder Bev Ross and District Attorney Gregg Cohen expressing concern over the matter.

But catch me next time!" Now you have communi- cated two things: You plan your spending, and you do not spend money you do not have. Rest assured that you will be regarded highly, if only in secret, for being smart enough to even have a budget. Dear Mary: Several years ago, my wife arranged with her bank to pay off a loan at about half what she owed. The amount she did not pay wound up on a Form 1099-C, and we ended up owing taxes and penalties on it to the Internal Revenue Ser- vice. The IRS notice said, "If a federal gov- ernment agency, financial institu- tion, credit union, or other lender cancels or forgives a debt you owe, you must include the canceled amount in your income on page one of your tax return." The debt was written off by the bank, which reported it to the IRS. Unfortunately, we never got the 1099-C. This triggered an audit, and after we went back and forth for several months, almost $5,000 “From a lay perspective it appears Mr. Lopez should never have been appointed to the Library or the Planning commis- sions,” Leach said. “I also question the legality of his candidacy for council.” Leach then goes on to ask Ross whether the com- mission appointments were legal, if not, what remedies or penalties are available, and whether Lopez was eligible to be a candidate. In a Nov. 9 letter to both men, Ross said that her office, which has no involvement in commis- sion appointments, was not able to provide a suit- able forum for a resolution to such a potentially com- door prizes. asked to bring a non-perish- able food item to be donat- ed to Food for the Hungry.

Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Please tell your readers to plan accordingly if this happens to them. -- David S., e-mail Dear David: Banks and lenders are required by law to report loan forgiveness to the IRS. It is not a choice. For years, I have been warning my readers about this law. In these days of falling home prices and short sales, there are going to be lots of shocked sellers. Taxpayers are required by law to report loan forgiveness, whether they receive a 1099-C or not. When it comes to the IRS, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Do you have a question for Mary?

At this point Lopez, who was originally sched- uled to be sworn in at a special meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7, said he is just going to sit back, wait and see what happens. “I can’t think it’s some- thing personal,” Lopez said of Cofer and Leach’s letters. “They’re just doing their part to stay involved and trying to make sure everything’s on the up and up.” ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com.
