The men left prior to officer arrival, however, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle driven by one of the involved parties. The case is still under inves- tigation and is not believed to be linked to the vandalism reported at the same location. A vehicle had one of its tires slashed, valued at $500, which was report- ed at 11:55 a.m. and is believed to have taken place between 1:30 and 11 a.m. • A fight took place at 12:50 a.m. Saturday at the Palomino Room.

Hit and Run • A hit and run involving a silver Honda or Toyota took place at 6 p.m. Sunday on north- bound Interstate 5, north of Antelope Boulevard. Jill Kennedy, 57, of Eugene, Ore. was dri- ving north in the fast lane about 70 mph just ahead of the silver vehi- cle that was entering the northbound slow lane from the Antelope Boulevard onramp. The unknown driver entered the slow lane, accelerat- ing rapidly to pass a big rig and change into the fast lane directly into Kennedy's path, side- swiping the right front fender of Kennedy's vehicle. The unknown driver fled the scene, exiting the freeway at Adobe Road at a high rate of speed. Kennedy continued to the Red Bluff rest area where she called for help. No one was injured. Both vehi- cles received minor damage. A be-on-the- lookout for was issued for a Silver 2001 Honda license 6KNE569. Suspicious A Gray 2004 Ford F- 150 with a camper, license 6FQN094, was reported at 4:37 p.m. Friday to have driven from the area of the Cabernet Apartments at an extremely high rate of speed, almost striking a parked vehicle as it backed up. The driver, describe as a man cov- ered in mud, had been looking into windows of residences and had refused to provide apart- ment staff with any information. The same vehicle description and license was given in an incident at 7:20 p.m. Saturday in which a be-on-the-look- out for was given for the vehicle in the 1500 block of Walbridge in which the reporting party believed the driver was under the influence of methamphetamine. The woman later called back at 4:18 a.m. Sun- day to report her power was off and she believed the driver of the listed vehicle was responsible. An area check was not able to locate the vehi- cle.

The number is said to be a highly accurate prediction of how likely you are to pay your bills. If it sounds boring and unimpor- tant, you couldn't be more wrong. Credit scores are used extensively these days. If you rent an apartment, get braces, buy cell phone service, apply for a job or call to get utilities connected, there's a good chance your score will be pulled. If you have an existing credit card, the issuer is likely to look at your credit score to decide whether to decrease your credit limit or charge you a higher interest rate. The higher the number the better you look to lenders. People with the highest scores get the lowest interest rates. And, we hear, they're getting the jobs. Fair Isaac, the company that creat- ed the FICO scoring formula, gives us the following ways to improve our credit scores: • Pay your bills on time. Paying late or letting something go to collec- tion can have a major negative impact on your credit score. If you have missed payments, get current and stay current. The longer you pay your bills on time the better your cred- it score. Be aware, however, that paying off a collection account or bringing an account current will not remove it from your credit report. • Keep balances low on "revolving credit." Using more than 30 per- cent of your available credit on your credit cards brings down your credit score. This applies to individual accounts and when you add up all of your available credit and compare it with how much you are using on any given day during the billing cycle. • Pay off debt rather than move it around. The most effective way to improve your credit score is to pay down your revolving credit. • Don't close unused credit cards. Closing accounts might sound like a great short-term strategy to raise your score, but it's not. This will close the gap between your outstanding debt (the amount of credit you are using) and the total amount available. Instead, use a clear strategy to close accounts, but only as it will not impact the gap between what you owe and the amount of credit avail- able. • Don't open new accounts. More credit might seem wise in order to increase your available cred- it ratio, but it will be seen as a negative to your score. New, or "young," accounts are not useful in credit scor- ing because they dilute your average account age. Unless it's a dire emergency, do not open new credit accounts. • Work on longevity. Make sure you maintain your oldest accounts. A great deal of weight is given to longevity, so the oldest account you have is the most valuable. As with a lot of things in life, time is the best "healer." Do the right thing by manag- ing your finances responsi- bly and your credit score will take care of itself.
