I'd like to bring their old things to a consignment shop to earn a little extra cash. Can you give me some tips on how to make the most money? -- Debbie, Michi- gan Dear Mary: I always have donated online consignment shops or an online auction like eBay.com. Or, you may find that selling your kids things at your own yard sale nets you more Dear Debbie: Make a list of the children's consignment shops in your area, then do some research. Each will have its own unique policies on what clothes and condition of items they accept. Find out the terms -- i.e., once an items sells, how will they split the proceeds with you? Do they accept only pristine condition items or gently worn? Must clothes arrive in dry cleaner bags or freshly laun- dered? Once you have all the facts, decide which shop you will try first. Make sure your items fit the store's criteria, and make your first delivery. Keep careful records. Many shops have a policy that what doesn't sell is given to charity unless you pick up the item in a timely manner. Consignment shopping and selling is a great way to turn good items back into cash. Another way is through money for less trou- ble. You just have to experiment. If all else fails, remember when you donate to a qualified charitable organization, you are allowed to deduct the fair market value of each item from your taxable income. When you itemize your tax return, that can add up to a considerable amount and benefit you with a larger tax refund or smaller tax bill. father has warned me over and over about store credit cards: He says they try to reel you in with that initial 10 percent savings on a purchase, then slam you with high interest rates for a few chintzy perks. But lately I've seen store-brand Visa and Mastercards. Are those better? -- Britney, Georgia Dear Britney: Not really. Most co- Dear Mary: Since I turned 18, my Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate branded cards, unlike store cards, have an annual fee. And if it has no fee, watch out because the interest rate will more than make up for it. Remember, stores are look- ing out for themselves, not you. Co-branded cards save them a lot of money over issu- ing their own credit card. Co- branded credit cards serve to strengthen customer loyalty by offering a variety of value- added incentives, and that encourages you to spend more because it feels like you're get- ting something for nothing. The only way to make a co- branded credit card, or any card for that matter, work in your favor is to make sure it has no annual fee and that you pay the balance in full every month.

Meganumber: 19. Warmer days are finally here, along with mosquitoes and the West Nile Virus (WNV) they carry. West Nile Virus has been found in 15 other Cali- fornia counties so far this year, and the first human case has just been detected in Kern County. Dr. Ron Chapman, State Health Officer, states that, "West Nile Virus activity is greatest during the summertime. This first confirmed (human) West Nile virus case reminds us that we must take precautions to protect ourselves and our families from mosquito bites." What is West Nile Virus (WNV)? West Nile virus is a potentially seri- ous illness that affects the central ner- vous system; it can be life-altering or fatal. WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected with the virus after feeding on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can spread WNV to humans and other animals that they bite. How can I Fight the Bite? People can stay healthy by using simple, proven strategies to protect themself and their family. The best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites by remembering the five D's: • DEET - When outdoors, use insect repellents containing Deet (N, N- diethyl-meta-toluamide). Always fol- low label instructions. • DAWN and DUSK - Stay inside at heiser, Tehama County Public Health Officer, is urging all Tehama County residents, "to take precautions to pro- tect themselves from mosquito bites, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. West Nile Virus is here to stay in Tehama Coun- ty!" dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. If you must go outside, use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants. Light-colored clothing can help you see mosquitoes that land on you. West Nile Virus (WNV) was first reported in the United States in New York during the summer of 1999. Three years later, the first human case was detected in California. In 2004, the first reported human case was detected in Tehama County followed by nine more cases that year. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in 2011 there were a total of 158 cases of human illness and 9 human deaths from WNV in the state of California. It is clear that WNV is established in our region, and we can expect it to reappear every summer.

Although most will recover from the infection, about one out of three infected horses will die or have to be put down. Horses become infected in the same way humans do – from mosquito bites. Those that are bitten may show signs of stumbling, circling, hind leg weakness, inability to stand, and muscle tremors. There is a vaccine to prevent West Nile Virus for horses, and horse owners should contact their veterinarians for more information. You Can Help Fight the Bite! California monitors dead birds so we can tell when WNV is in a commu- nity. If you find a dead bird, do not touch or pick it up; use a shovel, gloves, or inverted plastic bags to handle the animal, place it in a plastic bag, then dispose of it in the trash. Then report what you found by calling: 1-877- WNV-BIRD (1-877-968-2473) or by filing an online report at www.west- nile.ca.gov. To report standing water where mosquitoes may be breeding or prob- lems with increased mosquito activity, please call Tehama County Mosquito and Vector Control at 527-1676.
