It cost $350, plus now he'll be on expen- sive prescription cat food for the rest of his life. He is not even 4 years old, so that's a lot of prescription cat food. I'm look- ing for advice on how to reduce the cost of having a pet. Do you think pet insurance is a good thing to buy? -- Mary, email Dear Mary: Pets, like humans, can get medical insurance. There are, however, factors that determine the cost of that insurance, including pre-existing conditions, age and breed. And of course, there are always exclusions in the fine print. Check http://www.Embra- cePetInsurance.com to get a quote and information about whether your cat is insurable. No matter what you decide, you definitely need to create a subaccount in your "freedom account" for pets. Dear Mary: What is the best way to restore a black leather jacket? My 5-year-old jacket shows some wear, with fine scratches and a dull look. What can I do myself to recondition it? -- Donna, Maryland Dear Donna: According to a shoe repair and leather expert in my area, to keep your jacket looking good and the leather healthy, peri- odically condition it with Lexol conditioner ($7 to $10) or Meltonian leather lotion (about $5). The leather also should be treated with a water repellent, such as Meltonian water and stain pro- tector (about $5), to help protect it from the elements. You can find these products in shoe repair shops, leather stores and online. Dear Mary: I live in Illinois, and every year since 1985, I have pur- chased flood insurance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The premium is climbing at an alarming rate, and I am beginning to wonder whether $700 a year is worth it. I have not seen any sign of flooding in 36 years, and we're more than 30 miles from the Mississippi River. -- Sarah, Illinois other possible hazard insured in my life and had money left over for flood insurance. But that's just me. Please do your own research and come to your own independent con- clusion. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Sarah: My experience is that certain areas are designated as flood zones. If you're in one, your mortgage lender is likely to require you to have flood insurance. If this is not your situation and the insur- ance is optional, I wouldn't carry it unless I were so wealthy I had every Dear Mary: I wanted to thank you for your recipe for the general purpose cleaner. My hands break out using most cleaners unless I wear gloves, but I have no problems with your cleaner. I modified the measure- ments to make smaller batches. Mix together in a plastic bottle 1 cup of rub- bing alcohol; 1 1/2 tea- spoons each of liquid dish- washing detergent, non- sudsing household ammo- nia and white vinegar; and 8 cups of warm water. Shake well. Transfer to a spray bottle. Great for cleaning windows, chrome and bath fixtures. -- Carol, email Do you have a question for Mary?

Hartz featured in special fiddle concert California State Old Time Fiddle Association District 6 will be spon- soring a special concert with world famous champion fiddler Matthew Hartz. The concert is sched- uled for 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, at the Bohemian Art Loft at 2204-B Bechelli Lane in Redding. Tickets are $13 Adults, $5 students, $35 Family. Matthew Hartz will also teach an Old Time Fiddling Work- shop at 7 p.m. on Tues- day, May 17, at Bernie's Guitar, Bechelli Lane, $25. Matthew Hartz is an artist shaped by count- less musical influences. From an early age, he found himself fascinat- ed by varying genres of music. From Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys to Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio, Paul Simon, Flatt and Scrug- gs to old time fiddlers such as Major Franklin, Orville Burns, Benny Thomasson, Bryant Houston, Norman and Vernon Solomon, Louis Franklin, Jim ‘Texas Shorty’ Chancellor, Dale and Terry Morris, Randy Elmore and oth- ers. He established him- self as champion fiddler in the 1980s and early 1990s by winning: * 1983, 1984, 1985 Idaho State Grand Championship — Lewiston, Idaho * In the span of one year, from 1988-?89 Matthew won, — The Big Three: The Grand National Fiddle Cham- pionship, Weiser Idaho, the Grand Master Fiddle Championship, Nashville, Tenn. and the World Fiddle Champi- onships, Crockett, Texas. He went on to win: * 1992 Texas State Grand Championship - Hallettsville Texas * 1992 Grand Nation- al Fiddle Champion- Weiser, Idaho * 1993, 1995 Grand Masters Fiddle Champi- on-Nashville, Tenn. Attending regional and national fiddle con- tests enabled Matthew to hone his skills and allowed him the oppor- tunity to learn directly from several of his aforementioned heroes. In 1985, Matthew met Orville Burns, the full-blooded Choctaw Indian fiddler from Oklahoma whom Matthew had listened to and revered since he was young. Their friendship led to their playing the Grand Ole Opry togeth- er and a record released in 1989 — Texas Style Old Time Fiddling with Matthew Hartz and Orville Burns. Though a respected presence in the fiddle world, Matt is also an accomplished guitarist whose lifelong obses- sion with pop & jazz has influenced many aspects of his music.
