But there's something else they inherit that many parents don't consider - - their financial behaviors. Most parents believe that kids should start learning how to manage money before they start kindergarten. But many admit they don't know where to begin or what to teach. From the moment they're born, kids learn how to live by observing their parents. You can start teaching your kids about money by simply explaining to them what you're doing when you make day-to-day saving and spending decisions. And even when you blow it, don't stop teaching. Let real life give you the opportunity to teach them what to do under those circumstances, too. • Never spend it all. Show your children how to save money. Tell them what a retirement account is, how interest works to make money grow. Most importantly, teach them that they never will be broke if they always save for the future. • Delay gratification. Look for opportunities to explain about waiting until you have the money to buy all the things the family would like to have. It's better to save now and pay later. Teach the difference between needs and wants. Children need to under- stand how making financial sacri- TAX Continued from page 1A The housing depart- ment does not have any authority over the city's TOT ordinance, a depart- ment administrator wrote in a letter to City Manager Martin Nichols. The proposed amend- ment is an attempt by the city to collect TOT from Durango RV Resort after failing to get to the RV park to comply. Durango owner Gary Breen and employees spoke against the pro- posed amendment during the July meeting when HAW Continued from page 1A over the weekend. What is unique about the minia- ture donkeys is their personalities, she said. "You can train them just like a dog," Lanham said. They are very intelligent and docile animals, she said. "Donkeys take two things: a sense of humor and lots of patience," she said. Other regulars had farther to trav- el, such as Lynn and Gloria Walter of Paso Robles. The Walters have been in all but one of the Red Bluff shows, Lynn Walter said. He was sad to find out that this year's show may be the last, he said. Show coordinators, Cheryl Austin and her family, have decided to step down as hosts. The Walters brought 5-year-old "Cinnamon Bun" of Luv Me Tender DEBT Continued from page 1A plan the panel comes up with must ask everyone to sacrifice before he can vote yes. ''I'd say on the tax cut side, you'd probably look most at people who have benefited the most,'' he said. ''Warren Buffett has proba- bly said it better than most in talking about how multi-mil- lionaires and billionaires are paying a lower tax rate than probably the secretaries who work for these folks.'' The budget ''supercom- their financial situations in the future. • Compare prices. The gro- cery is a great place to show the kids how you compare unit prices -- each product's price per ounce. Show them that just because something is on sale doesn't mean it's the best value. Comparing prices is like getting a second opinion so you can make the best deci- sion. • How banks work. Kids think ATMs are magic, so this is a lesson you need to address soon. They see you stick a plastic card in the slot, and out pops money! The underlying truth in all of banking is that you have to deposit more than you withdraw; you only can take out what you've put in. Teach them how a checking account works. Let them catch you in the act of recording the checks you write and reconciling the monthly statement. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate create a mountain of debt or blow through the contents of a bank account with a little piece of plas- tic. More importantly, there's a big world of consumer credit pulling on them to use plastic to live beyond their means. Even if you've made mis- takes by using credit cards, you can make that a learning experience for your kids. You don't need to reveal all of the details, but an occasional financial faux pas can provide a great opportunity to humanize money manage- ment. Kids benefit from seeing how problems are solved, too. Talking to your kids often will give you the opportunity to communi- cate about life's many lessons. Teaching them about money will be eye- opening and fulfilling, not only for them but also for you. Mary Hunt is the founder of • Debit and credit cards. Your kids are growing up in a plastic world. It's important that they understand as soon as possible what that means. First, it's easy to Breen raised the question of the council's authority to impose what he said would be a new tax. In a memo to Nichols, City Attorney Richard Crabtree reaffirmed his position from the July meeting that Proposition 218 is not applicable to the proposed amendment. The city has consistently inter- preted the TOT ordinance to apply to RV parks. The city's TOT ordinance was adopted around 1965. Proposition 218 was adopted in 1996, and does not apply retroactively.

Other agenda items • A public hearing will be held on a rezone ordi- nance that would allow the city to adopt updated flood zone maps. • Finance Director Sandy Ryan will give reports on first quarter sales tax and development impact fees. • Police Chief Paul Nanfito will give a presen- tation on AB 109, the pub- lic safety realignment that will become effective Oct. 1. • The council will con- sider making a change on Farm, who placed as a champion jennet this year. Over the years, the event has become more competitive, Lynn Walter said. The quality of animals has grown. From so many backgrounds, show participants had different rea- sons for raising miniature donkeys. Lynn and Louie Podesta of Jack- son have been in the donkey busi- ness for nine years. "Breeding, training and showing is what we're all about," said Lynn Podesta. They began with quarter horses, she said. Then, it was ponies while they had children at home. After their children were older and Lynn saw the donkey in the movie "Shrek," things changed, she said. said.

"It's more of a passion than a money-maker," Lynn Podesta said. They have been coming to the local show for five years. The Northern California Minia- ture Donkey Show will now be in the hands of a new host, but nobody knows yet who that will be, or if the shows will simply end. The Austins, who raise and sell about two dozen miniature donkeys, started the three-day show ten years ago after a successful four-hour show at the Tehama District Fair. Last year, the local show was also a national competition for the Nation- al Miniature Donkey Association. Show results for past years in Red Bluff and for other donkey competitions are available at www.thedonkeyshowsite.com.

Becerra said many of his constituents work multiple jobs to make ends meet, but those jobs typically do not offer health insurance or retirement benefits, which explains why so many are opposed to trimming Social Security and Medicare. ''They figure we proba- bly could do without the Bush tax breaks more than we can do without a decent Medicare program or a decent Social Security pro- gram or a decent program for our schools,'' he said.
