Sierra Health Founda- tion will continue its Responsive Grants Pro- gram in 2010, with $1 million committed for nonprofit organizations and public agencies in its 26-county funding region. Grants up to $25,000 each will support projects that improve health and quality of life in Northern California. At least 30 percent will be available exclusively for projects serving rural areas of Sierra Health Foundation's funding region. There will be two funding rounds this year, with $500,000 awarded in May and $500,000 in October. Grant applications for the first funding round are due by noon March 22. Informational teleconfer- ences will be offered Feb. 22, Feb. 26 and March 2, and in-person conferences will be held in Willows on March 3. Grant applications for the second funding round will be due on Aug. 9, and informational conferences will be announced later this year. Application materials, a funding region map and online registration for the conferences are available at www.sierra- health.org.

Now Accepting E.B.T., Debit, Credit Cards Remember us for that Special Valentine's Day Dinner For V-Day, have a heart-to-heart financial talk Q: What's an appropriate Valen- tine's Day present this year? I don't have a lot of money to spend in these tough times. A: I usually don't give relation- ship advice, but Valentine's Day during a recession offers a good opportunity to get away from tradi- tional hearts, flowers and choco- lates. So forget the last-minute rush to find an appropriate card. And take a pass on Victoria's Secret. Think about the things that will really make your romance a last- ing one. Talking money is not as unromantic as it might seem. A new PayPal survey caught my eye. It says that the No. 1 subject of arguments in relation- ships is money and finances, with half of the couples surveyed reporting they fight about money at least once a month. Could you help your relationship by buying an expensive valentine? That's doubtful -- especially if money is already a sore subject. Instead, here's a terribly unromantic suggestion: How about using this holiday to get your financial issues sorted out? Call it a down payment on happier times together in the future. As all successful lovers know, the first step is in the presentation. It's not usually the perfume that makes the impression -- it's the packaging. And that's why candy in a heart-shaped box draws oohs and ahs. So how about a small box, ele- gantly wrapped -- with a key inside. She may think it's the key to your heart, but you know it's the key to a calmer discussion of the things you fight about most. (Just Google "locked jewelry box" and you'll find dozens of them in every style.) You don't want her (or him) to be disap- pointed that there aren't diamonds inside -- so some advance warning is necessary. Here are a couple of things you could stash inside your gift box that would start you on the way to that discussion. You could go to Quick- en.com and download the latest personal finance software, set up the links to your indi- vidual or joint checking and credit card accounts, and then print out the home page and scribble the password on it. Then offer him or her a glass of wine and head to the computer to do some financial planning. Or you could go to my website, www.TerrySav- age.com, and fill out the sign-up box with your name and e- mail address. By return e-mail, you'll receive a link to my Personal Financial Organizer form. You can print out as many copies as you like for friends and family. But you and your sweetheart can fill them out together, keeping the information handy in case of an emergency -- and triggering a dis- cussion of everything from credit card debt to life insurance coverage. Or you could make the ultimate Valentine's Day sacrifice. Go to www.AnnualCreditReport.com and click on the links to the three major credit bureaus to get a free copy of your credit report. Will your partner do the same -- thus revealing all outstanding debts and other historic financial woes? Sounds frightening, but what kind of romance is it if you can't talk hon- estly and openly about money? If this sounds totally cal- lous, consider this report from the PayPal survey: A third of respondents say they would wait to marry someone until their credit score improved. After all, when you marry someone, you not only marry their family and their history of sexual experiences. You marry their balance sheet, as well. This exercise in roman- tic revelations might be just the excuse you need - - to put off that wedding, or to help your partner make some important changes. The only thing worse than a broken heart is a devastated credit report. That's the Savage Truth.

Funding for this pro- gram was provided by a grant from the Cali- fornia Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin- istration. Foundation commits $1 million for grants National Forest has new Web site REDDING – The Shasta-Trinity National Forest has adopted a new look and address for its public Web site. The changes are part of a Forest Service effort to adopt a consistent look and feel for all its public Web pages and content. Offices and units are adopting standardized templates to provide Web audiences accessible, instant recognition of Forest Service sites. Content remains primarily the same, but the look of the site and nav- igation links have been changed to be consistent with National Forests around the country. The migration of content from the old site to the new site will continue in the coming weeks until transfer is complete. The new address is www.fs.usda.gov/stnf. Users accessing the old site address will be automati- cally redirected to the new one.
