I feel so overwhelmed with every- thing. He has already forgot- ten to pay some bills, so I have gotten involved with our finances. My husband wants to sell our home, but houses aren't selling in our area -- and I really don't want to sell. We're looking into refinancing. We need to get out of debt. I don't know where to start with all this. -- Rhea, email Dear Rhea: It's time for you to step in and take over the household finances. If you have not been involved all along, just plan on it being daunting. Make an appoint- ment with a fee-only financial advi- sor, who will charge you a flat fee based on an hourly rate, rather than try to sell you financial products to earn a commission. Once you have this appointment, gather together all of your financial information that you can find or know about, and take it with you. Go alone to this meeting so you will be free to speak openly with this counselor. You may also need to speak with an attorney who can work with your husband's doctor to give you power of attorney over future legal and financial matters. Dear Mary: After my children left for college, I decided to go back, too. I am getting my education paid by financial aid, but I also qualify for student loans at a very low inter- est rate. I don't need the loans for tuition, but wonder if I should use them to pay off my car, and then use the car pay- ments to pay off the student loans? It makes sense to me, but what do you think? -- Pamela, email Dear Pamela: This might look I am so sorry that you are facing this situation, but now is not the time for a pity party. You need to move into the role of family decision-maker, diplomatically and lovingly. The National Associa- tion of Personal Finan- cial Advisors has a list of fee-only advisors in your area on its website, www.NAPFA.org. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate like a good idea on paper, but be very cautious. Unless you have demonstrated a high level of finan- cial maturity and personal disci- pline in the past, you could be step- ping into a trap. Will you really make the same car payments you're making now to your student debt, even though not required? Should something happen that prevents you from working now (I assume you have a job), finishing school or working in the future, how will you make those stu- dent loan payments? A traditional car loan could be repaid or dis- charged through a variety of methods, from selling the car to voluntary repos- session or even bankrupt- cy. If you move that debt to a student loan, you will lose all of those options. Before you know it, you'll be tempted to consolidate the student debt to a 10-, 15- or 30-year payment schedule, which would be a terrible mistake. I wish you well in making this decision.

Bird walk Saturday at Discovery Center The last official guid- ed Sacramento River Discovery Center Bird Walk of the 2011-12 season is scheduled for 8 a.m. Saturday at the center. The monthly walks will take the hot months of July and August off and resume our regular- ly scheduled guided walks in September. Points of interest for Saturday's walk include: • The TCCA Pump- ing Plant is ready to operate — the metal wall is gone and the Fish Screen is visible • They are ready to start digging the Slough By-Pass/Free Flowing Channel on the east side of the river. Lots of orange netting setting the boundaries and equipment is starting to show up. • The owls are still in evidence. $100,000 donated to state parks Chipotle Mexican Grill will donate $100,000 to support the California State Parks Founda- tion's (CSPF) Answer the Call fundraising campaign following a $22 million budget cut to state parks, resulting in the scheduled closure of up to 70 California parks on July 1. On Saturday, June 30, the restaurant urges guests to take advantage of California's parks, the day before many of them close, by offering half off Burri- tos by the Box orders of six or more from its California restau- rants. As an added bonus, anyone that participates in the restau- rant's promotion will receive a free day pass for the admittance of one vehicle into a California state park of their choice. In addition to the monetary contribution, the restaurant's sponsorship also includes provid- ing lunch and free meal cards for individuals who participate in CSPF's Park Champions Program and volunteer their time in state parks to fill in the gaps left by funding cuts. "CSPF is thrilled to announce Chipotle Mexican Grill as our first corporate donor to our Answer the Call fundraising campaign, which was created to address the impending closure of dozens of state parks on July 1," said CSPF President Elizabeth Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff 's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. of a silver 2003 Honda Civic was reported shattered Tuesday in the 1100 block of Cedar Street, causing $200 damage.

"Chipotle's generous contribution of $100,000 and its ongoing support throughout the year through restaurant promo- tions, membership incentives, and volunteer refreshment provi- sions will enable us to work to help keep parks open. We look forward to partnering with them in various ways that will benefit state parks into the future." The restaurant is dedicated to supporting family farmers, culti- vating more sustainable sources, and respecting and preserving green spaces. A cornerstone of the restaurant's business model is a commitment to providing pre- mium quality ingredients that are accessible and affordable. "Our commitment to sourcing local produce, pasture-raised dairy, and naturally raised meat is similar to CSPF's efforts to keep parks and open spaces accessible to all, and not attached to a hefty price tag," said Chris Arnold, the restaurant's communications director. "In the grand scheme of things, this donation is a small step in the right direction. We hope to inspire our customers to explore the wonders of Califor- nia's parks with burritos in tow and give back in their own way to CSPF." To participate in the Burritos by the Box promotion, customers can pick up an order form from any California Chipotle, or log his face on the way to court Tuesday. A deputy was escorting him.
