Meganumber: 23. If your vehicle registra- tion is due during the month of July, wait until you receive a billing notice in the mail to pay it, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced today. “Our best advice is this: wait until you receive a bill from us to pay your fees,” said DMV Director George Valverde. “We will begin mailing billing notices on July 1, and all customers will be given a 30-day grace period to pay fees without penalty.” The department will also be regularly updating its Website with informa- tion including the specific registration expiration dates for which customers can renew their vehicle registration. Note: Recent law (SB 94) prohibits the renewal of a vehicle registration until either the registration expiration date or the Have a news tip? Call 527-2151, Ext. 112 DMV generates a renewal notice, whichever comes first. The law requires reg- istration renewal notices to be mailed out on or close to the expiration date of a vehicle license, instead of 60 days in advance. Customers whose vehi- cles require a biennial smog check will still be reminded on the registra- tion renewal, as in previ- ous years. However, cus- tomers may smog their vehicles before they receive their renewal notice since smog certifi- cates are good for 90 days. A cure for the disease to please I could never be a medical tran- scriptionist. It's not that I couldn't keep up with the typing or figure out the doc- tors' handwriting. My prob- lem would be the symptoms and medical conditions. I'd have all of them. To say that I am easily influ- enced is like saying the Titanic sprung a leak. Knowing this about myself, I wasn't all that surprised to end up with yet another condition after watching an old episode of "Oprah." She and her experts called it a disease, the Disease to Please. I passed their little "Do You Have the Disease to Please?" self- diagnosis quiz with flying colors, including their first question: "Do you ever say yes when what you really want to say is no?" Well, of course I do -- doesn't everyone? I thought about it for a few days. I have to admit this need to please played a huge role in my own expe- riences with getting deeply into debt. I rarely spent for myself. I was forever buying for others, picking up the tab, giving the best gift. I wanted recognition, approval and acceptance. That can create a lot of pressure. I was always conflicted. Aren't we called to generosity out of hearts of gratitude and service? Isn't it selfish to say no? So I began asking myself: What's my motivation? Is my action pure, or is it a sneaky way to demand something in return? For example, are you giving that expen- sive birthday gift to a 3-year-old so she will call you her favorite grandma or because you love her and it will improve her life? Are you serving on that board so others will notice you and think you are a good person or because you have an authentic emotional investment in the cause? Gift-giving occasions present a terrible dilem- ma for people who believe they can buy love, approval and acceptance. There's this unspoken belief that if something small should return a small amount of love, then a great big expensive item should bring even more love and approval. pure. If there's another answer, it's probably some form of manipula- tion. Realize you are in control. Becoming assertive is the way to arrest this disease. It takes courage to say no, to be honest and to set limits. Decide right now that you cannot buy love and approval, so don't even try. Next, decide how much you will spend, and then stick to it. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Buy time. Experts say that time is the best anti- dote for the Disease to Please, whether that's five minutes or five months. Nothing is so urgent you cannot take time to think about it. Pleasing others can be noble and gratifying as long as the decision to do so is for the joy it brings, not for what you expect to get in return. Mary Hunt is the founder of Analyze your motivation. Before you say yes to anything, do a quick self-analysis. Why am I doing this or buying that? What am I expecting in return?

DMV changes drivers license and ID applicaton Customers will notice changes to the original DMV application when applying for a California driver license or identifi- cation card. As a result of the first change the applications will include two check boxes specific to organ donation to further clari- fy the applicant’s intent: (A) Yes, add my name to the donor registry, or (B), I do not wish to reg- ister at this time. The second change includes a question giv- ing customers with prior military service the option of having their contact information pro- vided to the California Department of Veterans Affairs in order to receive information on possible benefits. In the past, the driver license application form only contained a “yes” box which was optional for customers to mark if they wanted to be included on the Organ Donor registry. If a customer later decides to be an organ donor, they may still sign up on the California Donate Life registry at www.donatelifecalifor- nia.org. U.S. veterans resid- ing in California can simply check a box on the form to approve hav- ing benefit information sent to them by the Cal- ifornia Department of Veterans Affairs (CDVA). Once the cus- tomer affirms their mili- tary service on the dri- ver license application, the DMV will then send the mailing address of the customer to CDVA for distribution of infor- mation relative to important services and benefits available to all veterans who served honorably in the mili- tary. Series of car break-ins at Whiskeytown There have been a series of vehi- cle break-ins with valuables stolen at Whiskeytown National Recre- ation Area this spring and summer. There have been 20 thefts reported so far. On June 20, suspect Jason Alien Corbin, 38, was arrested by Redding police officers during a traffic stop on suspicion of possession of bur- glary tools, receiving stolen proper- ty, possession of methamphetamine and driving on a suspended license. During a follow up investigation, Corbin was identified as a suspect in multiple burglaries at Whiskeytown based on evidence located in his vehicle during the arrest. Corbin was subsequently inter- viewed by Whiskeytown Law Enforcement Rangers and confessed to committing three vehicle burglar- ies at Whiskeytown. He is facing multiple charges of offenses listed above as well as vehicle burglary. Visitors to Whiskeytown and other natural areas can easily pre- vent theft from their vehicles by leaving no valuables and no visible personal property while away their vehicles.
