One of the principles of debt-proof living goes like this: More money will never be enough until you learn how to manage well the money you have right now. When "more money" drops into a person's life, it acts like a magnifying glass. It takes who you are right now and just enlarges it. If you manage your paycheck according to a plan of giving, saving and not spending more than you earn, no matter how challenging that might be, more money will allow you to take financially responsible living to a new level. On the other hand, if you're over your head in debt, always falling behind, overdrawing your bank account, running from creditors, don't know how or even where to save -- more money will multiply all of your troubles and create even more chaos in your life. Look, if you can't seem to manage the $50,000 you earn now, what makes you think that if you suddenly get some big windfall that you'll mag- ically know what to do, and how to do it? Tony Middleberg of California became the heir to his mother's per- sonal fortune of more than $5 million. He quit his job, got married and set out to live the life of ease. With- in three years, he filed for bankruptcy and divorce, simultaneously. Currently he's on welfare and looking for work. Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jer- sey Lottery twice, in 1985 and 1986, for a total of $5.4 million, gambled and gave away all of her money. By 2001, she was applying for public assis- tance and living in a trail- er. William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988. Within a year, he was $1 million in debt. He's now living on his Social Security of $450 a month, supplemented by food stamps. winnings in a lump sump, she cashed in the remaining amount. But she stopped making payments on the loan. She blamed the debt on lengthy illnesses of uninsured fam- ily members who needed $1 million for medical bills. Ken Porter was a machin- ist when he inherited $2 mil- lion. He moved to California and went into the car busi- ness with his brothers. With- in five years, he had filed for bankruptcy. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in the Virginia lottery in 1993. Now she's deeply in debt to a company that lent her money using the winnings as collateral. She borrowed $1,907,746, which she agreed to pay back with her yearly checks from the Virginia lottery through 2006. When the rules changed allowing her to collect her Here's an idea: Stop dreaming about winning the lottery or an inheritance. Learn how to manage your current income. Then if there is more money in your future, you'll have the matu- rity and wisdom to handle it well.

With almost 800 projects in construction throughout the State of California, including 55 in Northern California in District 2, it is vital that motorists remem- ber to slow down when approaching a construction zone and, when on a multi- lane highway to move over or slow down when they see a Caltrans vehicle flashing warning lights. Travelers will encounter highway construction wher- ever they travel this sum- mer, in addition to highway maintenance activities that continue year round. This “Move Over” law, signed by the governor in October of 2009 requires motorists traveling on a freeway to move over when safe or slow down when they see a Caltrans vehicle flashing warning lights. Highway workers face the same dangers from fast moving traffic as emer- gency personnel and tow truck operators. Violation of the provision is punish- able by a fine. Cone Zone Safety tips include: • Do not speed in work zones; obey the posted speed limits. • Stay Alert! Expect the unexpected. • Watch for workers; Free meals for children Free meals will be provided through the summer for all children 18 and younger at Jackson Heights Ele- mentary School, 225 S. Jackson St., in Red Bluff. The program, sponsored by Butte County Office of Education Migrant Education Summer Food Program, will run 8-8:30 a.m. for breakfast and 11:30-noon for lunch from June 20 through July 22 except for July 4. No preregistration or documentation is required, however, all meals must be eaten on site.

Since 1924, 177 Califor- nia Department of Trans- portation employees have been killed on the job, 12 of those were from District 2, which includes Tehama County.
