How can I liquidate this collec- tion? -- Lorna, email Dear Lorna: The American Stamp Dealers' Association at www.ASDAonline.com, has invalu- able information on how to get your collection appraised, including an article "Things You Need to Find Out Before Selling a Stamp Collec- tion." More than likely, if this collec- tion is found to have value, it will be to another collector. In that case, expect to get wholesale prices for the items that could be less than the face value of the stamps. The wholesale market value will be determined by scarcity and how well the stamps have been protected and preserved. Check out the ASDA website. The information will help you determine what you have ahead of finding a member dealer in your area. Speaking directly with some- one who is qualified and trustwor- thy is the best way to discover the market value of this collection. Per- haps in that way you will also find a willing buyer. Dear Mary: We have an aging car that is a lemon. We are keeping it going until we can afford a differ- ent car. When that time comes, besides our temptation to shove it over a cliff, what should we do with our lemon? In good conscience, I can- not donate it to a charity and take the tax write-off. -- Sue Ellen, Idaho Dear Sue Ellen: If you feel it is not drivable, about your only option would be to sell it for sal- vage. Check with a local auto dismantling yard. Depending on the make and model, they may decide to "part it out," which might make the car slightly more valu- able to them. In that case, they will probably accept the complete car. Just don't expect to get much money from the deal. Dear Mary: Two years ago, my mother loaned us $6,000 to help buy a house. She didn't charge us interest on the loan, as she wasn't earning any at the time. We have paid back $5,000 so far and will have the loan paid in full soon. I insist on paying her interest on this loan. What is a fair rate? And how do I figure interest on this loan? Should I give her 10 percent ($600)? Or would I have paid more if I borrowed the money from a bank? -- Brian, email Dear Brian: A $6,000 loan at 10 percent over 36 months would result in a total pay- back of $6,997, including interest. Interest is calcu- lated each month on the outstanding balance. Or, if you were not making pay- ments, it would be $600 per year, or $1,800 over three years. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Granted, your mom could not have earned that rate in a savings account over the past three years. But it is also true that you could not have gotten an unsecured loan for as little as 10 percent, either. Ten per- cent would be a good deal for both of you. Do you have a question for Mary?

Change the clock, change the battery Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday March 11. As we turn our clocks for- ward one hour this week- end the California Depart- ment of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) and the Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) want to remind everyone to check their smoke and car- bon monoxide detectors as well. Make sure that both smoke detectors and car- bon monoxide detectors are working properly and put in a new battery. These two simple tasks can mean the difference between life and death. When smoke and car- bon monoxide detectors fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are miss- ing, disconnected, or dead. Accordingly, house- holds with non-working smoke detectors now out- number those with no smoke detectors at all. Smoke detectors and car- bon monoxide detectors that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing deaths and injuries. CalFire and Tehama County Fire have the fol- lowing tips for smoke and carbon monoxide detec- tors: •Test detectors once a month, by pushing the but- A lecture and discussion about Islam, its relationship with other religions, and contemporary issues related to Islam and Mus- lims in the U.S. will be held Tues- day, March 13 in the BMU Audi- 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.
