Meganumber: 12. Whatever it takes If you owe a ton of money, you probably have said it more than once: "I'd do anything to get out of debt!" But would you, really? Are you willing to do what- ever it takes to pay off all of your credit card and other unsecured debts? A few years back, Akira Hare- ruya, a ranked boxer in Japan, did a lot more than just talk about it. His horrendous debt situation got so bad he had to find a way to dodge the shame of bankruptcy. He became, quite literally, a human punching bag. He charged for one-minute all- you-can-slug sessions. Customers were handed a pair of boxing gloves and told to shout out their name, age and occupation and the reason for their stress -- which they released by punching Hareruya as hard and as much as they liked. Over the years, I have heard from thousands of people who are committed to doing whatever it takes to wipe out their debts. So far, their "whatevers" have not been so flamboyant as Hareruya's, but then their reported debts weren't $1.3 million like Hareruya's. Take Susan D. She's working a second job nights and weekends so she can devote every spare moment and bit of energy to her mission. Vicki M. and her husband assembled everything they owned but did not use on a daily basis and sold all of it. That, plus their self-imposed spending morato- rium, netted the funds they needed to get out of debt. A woman I know quite well paid back a load of her debt working nights as a process serv- er. She earned $35 per attempt, plus $70 when she located and then con- firmed the defendant's certain identity and handed over a subpoena with the words "You have been sued..." writ- ten. Many people have written about how they've become one-car families in a two-car society, redi- recting their car payments and other related expenses into their get-out- of-debt plans. Others whose debt situations have gone from serious to severe have swallowed their pride and entered a reputable credit counsel- ing debt-management program -- a clear commitment to do whatever it takes to get out of debt. I could go on and on about what others are doing, but right now I'm more interested in you. Have you come to a place of commitment, or are you still hanging on to your list of buts -- I'll do anything but get a job, but give up my pricey car, but move to a home I can afford, but stop shop- ping, but put the kids in public school, but cancel the cable service, but close the accounts. That attitude might be what is standing between you and financial freedom. Don't be afraid. Quite Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate frankly, I don't think you'll get your nose broken or your ribs busted. And if you should decide to work for an attorney service at night in unfamiliar cities, I would highly recommend you find someone to accompany you. That was just about the scariest thing I ever have done. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including her best-selling classic "Debt-Proof Living."

Andrew Cox Tehama County Mosquito and Vector Control District manager Tree hole Mosquitoes have begun their spring emergence and with all the abundant rain that has occurred they are out in large numbers. These tiny dark mosquitoes are hatching from hollow tree trunks and limbs holding rainwater. Oak trees are the primary source but Cottonwood, Walnut, Olive or any tree with holes holding water will be a good source for these mosquitoes. Roof gutters and other contain- ers with leaf and tree debris can also be hatch- ing places. Spring rains have maintained these holes full of water keep- ing the Tree hole Mos- quito around until the water begins to dry up. With the recent record rains and expected pre- cipitation these Tree hole Mosquitoes should be a major problem through June. Besides being annoy- ing, Tree hole Mosqui- toes can carry Dog Heart Worm Disease and infect dogs not protected by preventative medication. The mosquito will pick up the microscopic stages of Heartworms when bit- ing an infected dog and after an incubation period the same mosquito can transmit the disease to a healthy dog. Dog owners are urged to protect their pets by checking with their veterinarian and getting appropriate med- ication. Control of Tree hole Mosquitoes at the source is difficult and requires checking every tree for cavities and draining or treating the water. The hardest part is locating all of the holes, since many can be high and out of reach, or with small openings. The hollows can hold from a few cups to several gallons of water. Sometimes sprin- klers can repeatedly fill a tree hole and provide a source for these mosqui- toes all summer. The best way some relief can be provided is if property owners can drain or fill with sand any holes con- taining water or treat them with appropriate insecticide. Homeown- ers should also be sure to overturn cans, buckets and containers around the yard, and clean debris from rain gutters. The Tehama County Mosquito and Vector Control District has begun evening ULV (Ultra Low Volume) adulticiding for these mosquitoes as well as the early Culex mosquito which can transmit West Nile Virus (WNV). The ULV adulticiding has been limited due to the windy and wet weather. In order for the adulticide to be effective on adult mosquitoes, warm tem- peratures and limited wind with a temperature inversion is needed. ULV adulticiding will reduce the number mos- quitoes in the immediate area sprayed for 1 to 2 weeks but will not elimi- nate the problem. Dis- trict personnel have been out spraying during the twilight hours and con- trol operations are expected to continue for the next 3-4 weeks trying to reduce the problems associated with these Tree hole Mosquitoes when the weather per- mits. Big populations of other species of mosqui- toes are also expected later once higher temper- atures begin. With all of this water, conditions are there for a potential out- break of WNV, a mosqui- to carried disease that is very dangerous and, on rare occasion, fatal to humans. In typical years, the virus doesn't appear early in the Sacramento Valley and the District can keep the spread of the disease limited by reducing mosquito popu- lations. However, in a year such as this with abundant water, the mos- quito populations can be high, causing concern that disease outbreaks are very possible and not to mention just a plain nui- sance to the public in enjoying outdoor activi- ties. Some good news for residents of the District is at the last District’s Board of Trustees meet- ing the Trustees voted to not increase the benefit assessment or any fees. This was done due to the economic conditions in Slow Food potluck and show set The Weston A. Price Nutrition Foundation Potluck and Slide Show will be 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, at the Tobacco and Brew's community room, 2143 Hilltop Drive, in Redding.

Dan Martin from Lazy 69 Ranch will be continu- ing his Tongue- to-Tail Series where he tries to educate on the many dif- ferent cuts of beef. Local herbalist and Wintu healer Ted Dawson will be selling his locally collected herbal medicine and will take a minute to share his wisdom. Don't miss his poison oak reme- dy. Lance Alldrin from Alldrin and Sons will have his fabulous salmon for sale--if he has enough. Local dairy producers Marc and Lori Duivenvo- orden of Cottonwood will help us get fresh milk through their cow-share program. Laurie and Wayne Kessler of Shambani Organics of Shingletown will get you motivated to grow your own vegeta- bles. They will be selling plant starts and answering your questions about gar- dening. Weston A. Price Foun- dation is a non-profit nutrition group that sup- ports local farmers, tradi- the County and rising fuel and food prices that affect all citizens. The District took this action even though the increases for fuel, chemicals and other expenses have increased operational costs. This action will not reduce any control operations to reduce mosquito populations. The District's mosquito control program ensures the public of reduced health risks from mosqui- to-borne diseases, a bet- ter quality of life and healthier environment to work and play.
