The problem I continu- ally run into is where to begin. I don't have enough money to pay all my bills each month. So how do I begin to save money? My bills come to $2,440 a month, whereas my income is only $2,700. This does not include food, gas or any other "incidentals" that may crop up. I have two mortgages (totaling $1,500 a month), two credit cards and a $10,000 loan that we are try- ing to pay. I do all the things that you suggest. I only buy things that are on sale or at yard sales or con- signment shops. We have done away with all extras except for basic cable. I don't know what not to pay in order to free up some money to get started. Any ideas or sugges- tions? -- Sue T., Pennsylvania Dear Sue: With the limited infor- mation you've given me, I conclude that your situation is dire. Shopping at consignment shops is not going to fix a situation in which your mort- gages alone consume more than 50 percent of your net income. With your current income, you simply cannot afford this house. Unless the other part of the "we" in your letter can contribute a second income to your household, you need to sell. Move in with friends or family, or find a really cheap apart- ment. Debt has put you in an untenable situa- tion. As for what to do right this moment, pick up the phone and call the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, at 800-388-2227. The peo- ple there will put you in contact with a counselor who can give you more specific help and advice. This will not be easy. Just remember that this is a season. Better days are up ahead. Dear Mary: I love the soft texture of whipped butter with olive oil, but the stuff in the tubs costs a fortune when compared with stick butter. How can I make my own whipped butter? I have no idea what type of proportions I would need or whether a third ingre- dient is necessary so it will spread easily. -- Sara S., e-mail Dear Sara: You'll need 2 sticks of real butter (1 cup, and please do not substitute with margarine), 1 cup of canola oil or olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and an electric mixer. Allow the butter to come to room temperature in a medium- sized mixing bowl. Mix it with the electric mixer on low speed for about 30 sec- onds, or until it becomes creamy. Keep the mixer running and add the oil in a small, steady stream. Add the salt. Keep mixing until it looks very light and fluffy. Store the whipped butter in an airtight con- tainer in the refrigerator. Enjoy its spreadability even straight from the refrigerator. By the way, the nutritional values of canola oil and olive oil are almost identical. It is more cost-effective to use canola oil. Do you have a question for Mary?

Call 527-2151, Ext. 112 Police reports collected. Under the current tax code, medical marijuana dispensaries are not required to identify mari- juana sales as their prima- ry business, making pre- cise estimates of sales and taxes paid difficult. Medical marijuana advocates with the group Americans for Safe Access conducted their own study in 2007 that estimated dispensaries contribute closer to $100 million annually to state coffers. Americans for Safe Access spokesman Kris Hermes said that estimate was calculated when there were 400 dispensaries in the state, a figure that may have as much as tripled with the explosion in the number of dispensaries in Los Angeles. Hermes' group has long opposed the imposi- tion of sales tax on med- ical marijuana, saying the drug should be treated like prescribed medications, which are not taxed. He said he did not see the need for additional tax laws regarding dispen- saries, especially if new regulations required them to pay more than they already do. ''I don't know that a piece of legislation is nec- essary for dispensaries to pay sales tax since that's already a policy,'' Hermes said. He said requiring growers to register was an even greater concern because of the possibility of self-incrimination. The proposed legisla- tion is modeled on a law crafted by Horton in 2003 that imposed tighter tax rules as a way to crack down on illegal cigarette sales. That law also pro- vided the Board of Equal- ization with additional funding to enforce sales tax compliance. A 2006 report by the California State Auditor found that the cigarette law helped to stem a decline in cigarette sales tax revenue but said the board's own estimates of increased revenues owing to the law were overstated. Continued from page 1A POT burgh that he ate marijuana cookies while waiting for his flight to depart in Philadelphia. ''Chan advised he has a medical marijuana card and he took double his normal dose,'' the complaint said. Margaret Philbin, a spokes- woman for the U.S. attorney's office in Pittsburgh, said Chan has a legal- ly issued medical marijuana card for a ''legitimate'' health issue, which she declined to identify. The flight was diverted to Pitts- burgh International Airport, where Chan was arrested, then jailed until a federal magistrate freed him on bond Tuesday, Philbin said. Chan arrived at Philadelphia International Airport after attending a conference in the Dominican Republic. The flight to Los Angeles was part of his trip home to San Francisco, authorities said. Chan was scheduled for a prelim- inary hearing Wednesday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The charge carries up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Continued from page 1A FBI STATE BRIEFING Warrant issued for dispensary owner FRESNO (AP) — The operator of Fresno marijuana dispensary is a wanted man after authorities say he missed a court appearance. A judge on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for Rick Morse, the owner of Medmar Clinic, after he failed to appear for his arraignment on a contempt-of-court charge. In issuing the warrant, Fresno County Superior Court Judge Donald Franson Jr. said once Morse is taken into custody he would be held without bail. The judge ruled last month that marijuana dispensaries could not oper- ate in Fresno because they violate city zoning laws. City officials say Morse had contin- ued to operate the dispensary despite the order. Morse had not hired an attorney, and was expected to represent himself for the arraignment. Inmate released arrested next day SACRAMENTO (AP) — A Sacra- mento inmate who was released this week as part of a state plan to reduce the prison population is back in jail again. After being released Monday night, Sacramento police say 22-year-old Kevin Peterson was arrested a little after noon Tuesday on suspicion of attempted rape. Police Sgt. Norm Leong (LEE- ong) says Peterson is being held with- out bail after allegedly trying to rape a female counselor he was meeting with and holding her captive. Peterson had been released 16 days early from the Sacramento County Jail after serving two months of a four- month sentence for violating proba- tion. He had previously served a one- year sentence for felony assault. Under a law signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger jails are now required to release inmates for good behavior after serving half their sentence. Committee backs lt. gov. nominee SACRAMENTO (AP) — The full Senate will consider Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's nominee for lieutenant governor after a key legislative committee supported the appointment Wednesday. Some lawmakers in both parties oppose the nomination of Republi- can state Sen. Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria. He has sometimes crossed party lines to provide cru- cial budget and tax votes, while at other times he has stuck with his GOP colleagues.
