What dif- ference could $5 here or $10 there make when we were more than $100,000 in debt (not counting the house and cars)? So what if I increased our debt by such a small amount -- it wouldn't really matter because we already owed so much. I used the same argument for not paying any- thing more than the minimum month- ly payments on our credit cards, because that too would make no dif- ference. Boy, did I have a lot to learn. The truth is that we five-and-10-dollared ourselves to death. It was the little things that added up to create a huge monster. Thinking that the little things didn't matter freed us to think $2, $5 or $20 didn't matter ... then $50 didn't matter, and on and on it went. Ironically, it was the little things that turned us around, too. Sending an extra $2, $5 or $20 every month to rapidly repay the debt we were target- ing helped us find a way to make the payment $22, then $35 and soon a $100 payment became standard. I've had people look at me like I was a little weird when I suggested they should not use a first-class stamp on a postcard. I mean, does 15 cents really matter? I think it does, not so much for the dime and nickel, but for the attitude. You see, if you casually throw 15 cents away when it comes to a postage stamp, it's much easier to begin think- ing slightly larger sums don't matter, either. And soon you'll be on your way to thinking $20 is not a big deal. Then you'll be headed for trouble. Yes my friends, 15 cents does matter. If you understand that, then $1.50 matters and $15 will matter even more, and on and on right up to $15,000. Some wise person once said, "Watch the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves." I have proven that to be true ... and I hope you will, too. Here are three easy ways to stash cash: • Coins. Don't spend them. Save them, instead. Every evening, empty your pockets, purse and wallet of all coins. Even if the bill comes to $4.05, hand the clerk a $5 bill and stash the difference. When you accumulate $25 or so, roll, wrap and send them off to your savings account. • Windfalls. No matter Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate how small, make it a habit to bank all coupon savings, rebate checks, refunds and other "found money." • Save an extra 10 per- cent. Stash 10 percent of your pocket money, gro- cery money and any other "walk around" funds you control in your secret sav- ings spot. Chances are you won't even miss it. But soon you'll discov- er that $2 here and $4 there really adds up. Seasonal route restrictions for Lassen forest Lassen National Forest snowmobile and ski routes are off-limits to wheeled vehicles through March 31. The roads where wheeled vehicles are restricted from traveling during the winter recreation season are identified on the Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs) available at Forest offices and on its website. "We have delayed placing these route restrictions in place until now due to the lack of snow across the Forest," said Forest Supervisor Jerry Bird. "Weather forecasts indi- cate the need to limit wheeled vehicles on these routes now to provide you with a safe and rewarding winter recreation- al experience on your National Forest," added Bird. In 2010, the Forest added 275 more miles of seasonally restricted roads to protect resources and enhance visitor safety. Wet weather softens the ground and roadbeds, which can lead to damage by wheeled vehicles. The ruts created by wheeled vehicles in the snow can also result in hazardous conditions for snowmobilers and skiers. Violation of road and trail closures is not only dangerous, it can be costly. It could mean a fine of up to $5,000 for an individual, $10,000 for an organization, and imprisonment for up to six months. Violators could also bear the cost associated with repairing damage. Visitors are reminded that in designated wilderness areas the use of any motorized vehicle is prohibited. There are six major designated snowmobile areas on the Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.

Zelinka transported him- self to St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital. Fires • A power pole on fire was reported at 7:59 a.m. Friday on Harden Avenue, cross of Merrill Road, in the Corning area.

The Forest will soon begin posting a weekly groomed trail report on its website to keep snowmobilers and other win- ter recreation enthusiasts apprised of current conditions. Funding for grooming and maintaining the winter recre- ation trails comes from the State of California's Off-High- way Motorized Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) Division. According to Public Services Officer Christopher O'Brien, "This funding allows the Lassen to maintain one of the largest groomed snowmobile trail systems in Califor- nia." Snowmobiling on Lassen National Forest can be a fun and memorable experience. However, snowmobilers are reminded to ride safely and to respect the rules. The fol- lowing are some suggestions for doing so. • Always check the weather forecast • Never ride alone • Be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you will be back • Obtain a map of your destination and determine which areas are open to snowmobiles • Ride only where permitted, respecting private property, the environment, and wildlife Additional information about maps, restricted areas or conditions may be obtained by visiting fs.usda.gov/lassen or by calling (530) 257-2151.
