Cowboys and Kids is a school program designed to use rodeo and the western lifestyle to teach kids about making wise choices. The program teaches about rodeo and its history as well as motivates kids to stay away from drugs and gangs, and to stay healthy. For the past five years, the Cowboys and Kids program has been presented at area schools. The cowboy and rodeo theme is the background for the more important mes - sage, says Janet Lemmons, presenter. "The rodeo part gets their attention," she said. "Our Cowboy Up segment is about making your own path, making good choices, staying away from drugs and gangs and not being pres - sured to do what everyone else is doing." Lemmonsknowswhenthe program is working. "Once we have the kids' attention, the rest flows to - gether," she said. "I get prin- cipals, lunch ladies, even parents peeking in the door. Then we know we're catch- ing their attention." This is the fifth time that Sacred Heart School stu- dents saw the program, and Principal Susannah Nelson knew her students enjoy it. She likes that the program uses cowboys and cowgirls as positive role models. "That's why they use the rodeo," she said. "These are men and women who work really hard to be the best at their craft. They take care of mind, body and spirit, and that's the focus for the stu - dents as well." Nelson says the program is worth the time. "It teaches young peo - ple to make good choices in life, and to think about what will make you a happy and healthy person, and how that has an effect on your fam- ily and friends," she said. "You're not only lifting your own life up, but lifting up the people around you."

Discovering that you'll be getting a tax refund is certainly not the worst news you've had. In fact, it's easy to see a tax refund as some kind of gift from the uni - verse. But here's the truth: It's part of your paycheck that you should have been getting all along. Plan now for how you'll manage it or your refund could evapo - rate into thin air. You have options. Choose well. 1. Treat it like a pay- check. Give away 10 per- cent, save 10 percent and put 80 percent into your household account. 2. Stash the whole thing. Your Contingency Fund or Freedom Ac - count — or both — are the likeliest candidates. 3. Open an IRA. Any amount will compound nicely. See your bank. 4. Invest. Rich people start out as poor people. If this is money you will not need for at least 10 years, put it to work in the stock market. 5. Reduce credit card balance. You can send any amount any time to your credit card account. Stop using that card, and keep paying extra until it's at $0. 6. Prepay the mortgage. When you make your next regular mortgage payment, write a second check in the amount of your refund and mark it "Principal Prepay - ment Only." Use the calcu- lators at debtproofliving. com to see just how this will affect your payback time and how much interest you won't have to pay. 7. Replace a monster. It might be time to replace that energy-guzzling refrig - erator or furnace. 8. Pump it into your car. You will get more years out of your car if you per - form routine maintenance and keep it in tip-top shape. Maybe now is the time to do some of those costlier tasks such as servicing the trans - mission. 9. Build a stockpile. Set this money aside to be used weekly at the grocery store to stock up on "Best Deals." These are items on sale for which you have a coupon. They'll be really cheap, so your refund will go a long way. 10. Invest in you. Perhaps it's time to take a personal inventory of your health and wellbeing. What do you need? A trip to the dentist, a couple of hours with a good therapist, a day at the spa? If that renews your joy, it might be the best money you've ever spent. Wouldyouliketosendatipto Mary?
