Local fly fishers from the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers and Shasta Mayflies will again be sponsoring six youth, ages 10 through 15, to attend a week-long fly fishing camp this sum- mer. It is the mission of the club to spread fly fishing knowledge and enjoyment to the next generation, as well as help them learn to appreciate our local streams, rivers and lakes. For the past 16 years, The Fly Shop of Red- ding has run a kid's fish camp, being held at its private preserve, Ante- lope Creek Ranch, near Weed. The experienced pros at this camp teach youth various casting techniques, how to select and tie on artificial flies, how to read the waters, and how to land and safely release the fish they catch. Other fun parts of the camp experi- ence includes great meals, nightly camp- fires, fly tying classes, and group games. These scholarships will be for camp ses- sions held in June and July. Each session is limited to 20 campers. The full $795 cost of the five-day and four-night program, including accommodations, meals and equipment, will be covered for youth ages 10 through 15 by the Shasta Trinity Fly Fish- ers and Shasta Mayflies scholarships. Although youth from all over the United States attend these sum- mer sessions, only those from Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama and Trinity counties are eligible to participate in this con- test to win one of the six scholarships. Any youth, age 10 through 15 ,who would like to apply for a scholarship, is asked to complete a one-page application available at Shastatrini- t y f l y f i s h e r s . o r g / p r o - jects/kids camp or The Fly Shop.com or by calling Ralph Lestar- jette at 530-524-9975.

Box 990002, Redding, 96099-0002. All submissions must be received by April 2. Winners and alternates will be announced and notified by April 13. 2B Daily News – Tuesday, February 25, 2014 Smog Check (MOST CARS & PICK-UPS) 527-9841 • 195 S.

LIC#829089 What to do when you're too tired to cook If money is leaking out of your household and you aren't quite sure where it's going, I have an idea: fast food. Busy households mean tired par- ents, and that can easily result in getting takeout two or three times a week. Does anything about this sound famil- iar? The last thing you need is for someone to tell you to get a grip and plan ahead! So I won't. Instead, I'm going to tell you what worked for me when I was in somewhat your situation (two boys 17 months apart) and a few things I've learned since. Five-menu rotation. Come up with five simple menus you know your family will eat, one for each night of the week. These don't have to be gourmet or anything fancy at all. For example, Monday: Spaghet- ti, salad and bread. Tuesday: Meat- loaf, baked potatoes, green beans and so on. Ask your spouse to han- dle one weekend dinner and give it a name like Daddy's Delicious Din- ner or let the kids give it a title. That leaves one Family Fun Night or some other reason to order in pizza. Post your weekly menu on the refrigerator. Now everyone knows what to expect, including you. This will simplify your grocery shop- ping, too. As the children get older and you get more courageous, you can expand your repertoire, but for now stick to the five- menu rotation. Set the table. I know you're going to think this is nutty, but it really works. Set the din- ner table for the next day before you go to bed at night. I learned this from Emilie Barnes, author of "More Hours in My Day" (Harvest House). Waking up to a nicely set table sends a silent mes- sage that dinner is important; we eat around a table, not in front of the TV. And it will help you to start thinking about dinner long before you run out of steam. Hint: Even a five-year old can learn to set a table, so dele- gate. Shine the sink. I learned this from Marla Cilley, author of "Sink Reflections" (Bantam), flylady.net. Before you go to bed, clear out the sink of everything (either wash the dishes or load them in the dish- washer), scrub, rinse well and then shine it with a towel. Five minutes to a new attitude. There really is something magical about waking up in the morning to an empty, clean and shining sink no matter what condition the rest of the house is in. Surely there's no more difficult job in the entire world than being a mom to young children. And noth- ing more rewarding. Make dinnertime an anchor in your day now while your kids are young, and the tradition will come back to bless you as they get older. Even though they'll never tell you, dinnertime will become something they know they can count on in an otherwise uncertain world. Enjoy these pre- cious days and take it from me: It does get easier.

These scams often use the IRS name and logo or fake web- sites that look real. Scammers often send an email or call to lure victims to give up their personal and financial information. The crooks then use this information to commit identity theft or steal your money. Some call their victims to demand payment on a pre-paid debit card or by wire transfer. But the IRS will not initiate con- tact with you to ask for this information by phone or email. If you get this type of 'phishing' email, the IRS offers this advice: • Don't reply to the message. • Don't open any attachments or click on any links. They may have malicious code that will infect your comput- er. • Don't give out your personal or financial information. • Forward the email to phishing@irs.gov. Then delete it. If you get an unex- pected phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS: • Ask for a call back number and an employee badge number. • If you think you may owe taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS employees can help you. • If you don't owe taxes or have no reason to think that you do, call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Admin- istration at 800-366- 4484 to report the inci- dent. • You should also report it to the Federal Trade Commission by using their "FTC Com- plaint Assistant" on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint. Be alert to scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS will not initiate contact with you through social media or text to ask for your personal or financial information. More information on how to report phishing or phone scams is avail- able on IRS.gov. Simpson to present 'Faces of Love' benefit REDDING — Enjoy an elegant evening of choral music, hors d'oeuvres and dessert, and a silent auction, presented by the Simpson University Music Department. "Faces of Love" will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, in the Her- itage Student Life Center at Simp- son University. It will feature per- formances by the Simpson Chorale, Trinity Repertory Singers, and university music pro- fessors Dr. Cyril Myers and Jen- nyRebecca Winans. The cost is $15 per person. All proceeds benefit the Simpson Uni- versity choral program. The silent auction includes gift baskets, travel opportunities, and home décor. A featured item, donated by Members 1st Credit Union, is a 7-night stay through Wyndham Properties, which offers hundreds of destinations to choose from nationally and worldwide. The evening's music will focus on the many facets, or "faces," of human love. "Love affects all of us and is an intrinsic part of being human. We will visit music that evokes aspects of love in various forms of relationships: familial, romantic partners, humanity, nature, those who have passed, country, spirituo/religious, nostal- gia of lost love," said Myers, direc- tor of choral studies. Myers, who has been a choral director at several universities, including Indiana University-Pur- due University Ft. Wayne, is an alumnus of three professional ensembles: Oregon Bach Festival; Gaechinger Kantorei - Stuttgart, Germany; and Male Ensemble Northwest. Winans, who recently joined the adjunct music faculty at Simpson, is a soprano who received her mas- ter of music degree from the Man- hattan School of Music in New York. She has performed in Berlin, Spain and Norway, as well as with opera companies in the U.S. In addition to opera, she writes and sings original compositions in a jazz/folk/indie style. Tickets can be purchased online at simpsonu.edu/facesoflove, at the Simpson Bookstore, or by calling 530-226-4507. Those interested in donating items for the silent auction can email Grace Thompson at gthomp- son@simpsonu.edu. Donors will be advertised in the event program. Kids' fishing camp scholarships
