DUI Continued from page 1A Bluff, was driving eastbound on Walnut Street near Bid- well Elementary School around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday when she drifted over the oncoming lane and into a brick wall on the north side of the roadway, according to FEUD Continued from page 1A ber of Commerce, said the fairgrounds is the biggest event center in the coun- ty and to ask organizers to pay such an exorbitant amount is not fair. Moule, as a member of the Red Bluff Rebound Group, has been asking the city to consider partnering with the fairgrounds instead of working against it. He said it is not the council’s responsibility to charge anyone at the fairgrounds for anything. He ques- tioned if Police Chief Paul Nanfito had purview to charge for traffic control on that stretch of the road, which is a high- way. 33 Continued from page 1A Lotto numbers SACRAMENTO (AP) — The winning num- bers drawn Wednesday night in the California Lottery’s ‘‘SuperLotto Plus’’ game were: 3-18-21-22-42 Meganumber: 15 Board of Supervisors meet- ing Tuesday, Colombo opted for a smaller presentation in the office Wednesday. There, he had the opportuni- ty to thank his co-workers and to reminisce with some of the same people he’s known since he was hired. Colombo’s wife of 13 years, Rosalie, a lifetime Tehama County resident, mingled with his colleagues. “He did get emotional in front of the staff,” she said. County employees from every office, as well as old friends and retired col- leagues, were invited to the a statement released Wednesday by Red Bluff Police Department. As officers spoke to Daley about the collision, she showed signs of intoxi- cation, the statement said. No other vehicles were involved in the collision and Daley suffered a small cut on her right hand. Ali Syed, 18, of Corning, Clovis I. Brittain, 89, passed away December 16, 2010. Step out in faith and give Dear Mary: I am reading a sec- ond book by you, and I am very inspired. However, I am very worried about giving 10 percent of our income away. That would be more than $700 a month, and we have $30,000 in credit card debt. Plus, I have $130,000 in debt from law school -- not to men- tion a child in day care. Saving the $700 a month would mean I could pay off law school in 15 years instead of 30. Please help. I want to do your plan, but thinking of giving away all that money makes me sick and makes me feel as if we will be in debt forever. -- Catherine M., Illi- nois Dear Catherine: I understand; really, I do. Our mortal minds can't understand how it is that we can do better with 90 percent of our incomes when we invite God's supernatural intervention through the act of giving. Let me be perfectly blunt: If your method of managing 100 per- cent of your resources were a better plan, you wouldn't be sitting on $160,000 of unsecured debt. I have yet to hear from a single person who has reported that he became a giver and that is what kept him in debt for an extra 15 years or other- wise ruined his life. But I have mountains of letters that attest to the opposite; step- ping out in faith and giving when they could not see how they could do it changed their lives in ways they could not have imagined. I think you should ask God to make you willing to give out of a heart of gratitude, with no strings attached and just because you are so grateful for the life with which you've been blessed. Dear Mary: My hus- band recently had a fend- er bender. Two years ago, he had a speeding ticket. Our insurance agent (AAA) warned us that if we were to claim the accident, that would be two dings on his record and would raise our annual insurance premium by $500. The estimate for repairs is $1,000. I'd rather not pay for the repairs, but my husband doesn't want to damage our record further. We have paid more than $15,000 in insurance over the past seven years and never have claimed anything before. What would you do? -- Diana, Cal- ifornia Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Diana: First, stop thinking of your premiums as deposits into an account with your name on it. Insur- ance doesn't work that way. Next, recognize that if you were to pay for the repairs out of your pocket, it would take you only two years to recoup the difference in increased annual premiums. If you were to file the claim, you'd pay the increased premium for many years to come. That wouldn't make good sense. The answer is clear: Pay for the repairs yourself, and then watch carefully how you drive. Also, ask your agent about ways you can reduce your annual premium, e.g., by increasing the deductible, dropping any duplicate cov- erage and applying for all the discounts you can.

Councilman Wayne Brown said adoption of the policy would be fruit- less if the city sends organizers a bill and they do not pay it. He recommend- ed the council send the issue back to the Budget Committee, which is made up of him and Mayor Bob Carrel. The council unanimously agreed. While the committee retools the policy, Nanfito will continue to build his reserve program. By staffing reserve officers to handle traffic control the department has been able to cut the costs by 30 percent to 40 percent, Nan- fito said. “Hopefully this will mitigate the cost, but I can’t make it go away com- pletely,” he said. their vacation home in Kla- math Falls, Ore.

They even had roles as each other’s supervisors. “It’s been a long, produc- tive relationship,” Stroud said. “He’s worked hard. I hope he gets out and does what he wants to do.”
