Meganumber: 15. Give the kids flying lessons Kids of elementary school age are becoming aware of the real world around them. They are eager to learn, and they still believe everything adults tell them. And they want their own money. For all of those reasons, I suggest that now is the perfect time to start a simple allowance sys- tem. This will create wonderful opportunities for you to pass on your values as you closely guide your young children through simple lessons on giving, needs versus wants, and delaying gratification. • How much? So, how much allowance should a young child receive? The amount depends on your financial situation. Some fam- ilies set an allowance according to age, say, one dollar for each year of age. This eliminates questions about when and how much to increase. • How often? At this age, chil- dren do better with close supervi- sion and short time frames, so giv- ing their allowance weekly is best. • Tied to chores? Many experts say absolutely, that allowance should be the payment children receive for doing their chores and assigned jobs. No work? No pay. Other experts feel that citizens of the "family community" should share in its rewards, income and responsibilities. Allowances should be the child's share of the family income. They say an allowance should not be the payment for chores and assigned jobs, that with privilege comes responsibility. Citizens must do chores and jobs because they are part of the com- munity. That's what good citizens do. A third alternative is to give your child a base allowance that is low, assigning him/her regu- lar chores that are sepa- rate from the allowance. Then post a list of optional jobs that are available for additional pay. Children can count on a portion of the com- munity income; they are responsible to work for the community; and they have an incentive to earn more money when one of those posted jobs looks interesting. A simple way to teach your child basic money management is to get four jars and label them: Giving, Long-Term Savings, Short-Term Savings and Spend Now. "Giving" is money your child Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate your child can spend right away. Using the four-container system, you might decide on a 10-30-30-30 plan or 10-30-40-20. Whatever it is, make it nonnegotiable, and then help your child develop a habit of managing his/her money before he/she spends it. Start your child early. Tracking his/her spending (date, how much and what for) will become an excellent lifetime habit. The goal of parenting is to help children grow wings to eventually fly away. Building financial confidence early in your children's lives is one important way you can pre- pare them for the flight. You may believe that you will not have to deal with the letting-go part of par- enting for many years. But let me tell you from experience: It will be here sooner than you think, and it will be a lot easier if you start now. Mary Hunt is the founder of gives to charity or church. "Long- Term Savings" is for college or something far in the future. "Short- Term Savings" is for something sig- nificant, such as a new bike or a special toy.

Local students to celebrate Arbor Day In honor of California Arbor Day being cele- brated the week of March 7-14, PG&E will engage Red Bluff ele- mentary school children in a discussion about tree and power line safety, including a table-top model demonstration of what happens when a tree falls into a power line. Presentations are scheduled 1:30 p.m. March 7 at Bidwell Ele- mentary and March 8 at Antelope Elementary, conducted by Kelly Fred- erickson, of PG&E vege- tation management. California Arbor Day celebrates tree planting, care and safety. In addi- tion, PG&E reminds cus- tomers to plant the “right tree, in the right place.” Trees may be small when planted, but at mature heights they can interfere with overhead power lines. PG&E’s Vegetation Management Department is a 16-year winner of the Tree Line USA Utility Award. Mustangs, burros available for adoption North Valley residents will have the opportunity to provide homes for wild horses and bur- ros, when the Bureau of Land Management brings its adoption program to Red Bluff and Chico on two weekends in April. Animals will be available Sat- urday and Sunday, April 2-3, at the Tehama District Fairground in Red Bluff, and Saturday, April 16, at the Silver Dollar Fair- grounds in Chico. Both adoption events run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with previews from 2 to 6 p.m. on the preceding Fridays. Each event will feature 30 mustang mares, geldings, colts and fillies ranging in age from about a year old to five years old, and 10 wild burros of all ages. “Most of these animals are from the Twin Peaks Herd Man- agement Area northeast of Susanville,” said Nancy Haug, the BLM’s Northern California District manager. “They have been vaccinated against a range of equine diseases, including rabies and West Nile virus, and they are ready to train.” To qualify, adopters must be at least 18 years old and residents of the United States. Adopted animals must be kept in corrals that offer at least 400 square feet per animal and are surrounded by six-foot pipe or board fences (five and a half-foot fences are allowed for horses under 2 years old; four-foot fences are allowed for burros). Two-sided roofed shelters are required. Title to adopted animals ini- tially remains with the U. S. gov- The following defendants were sentenced in Tehama County Superior Court, according to the Tehama County District Attorney’s Office: —————— Recent State Prison Commitments: • Patrick James Armstrong was sentenced to four years in state prison for sale of a controlled substance and sale of a controlled substance.
