Fireline safety awareness for hired vendors The Shasta College Center for Economic & Workforce Development Department announces the, Fireline Safety Awareness for Hired Vendors. At times when the equipment needed to control an emergency incident exceeds the resources of CalFire and the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies, the agen- cies hire the equipment and services of the pri- vate sector to supple- ment its own resources. Any private contractor or person employed by a private contractor who desires to participate in a wildland fire and may be subject to assignment on the fire line must complete annual train- ing. The intent of this 8- hour course is to provide private "hired equipment vendors" with the mini- mum training necessary to satisfy CalFire and the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies generic hiring requirements for hired equipment ven- dors. Students who suc- cessfully complete this oneday course will receive a certificate from the California Office of the State Fire Marshal. This class will be held on Saturday, July 21.

Alineup of investment moves worth considering This week, Major League Baseball's All- Star Game was played in Kansas City. Whether you're rooting for the American or National League, you no doubt admired the ability and athleticism exhibited by these tremendous ballplayers. Of course, any all-star team is made up of players who bring different talents to the game. And this same approach — of combin- ing a collection of skills toward one common effort — can be found in other endeavors, one of which is investing. Here, then, is one possible lineup of investment moves to consider: • Diversify. All investments have both benefits and risks. As an investor, your goal is to help maximize the bene- fits and minimize the risks — and one of the best ways to do this is by diversifying your money across a range of assets. Diversifying can help you reduce the impact of market volatility that might affect your portfolio if all your money was tied up in one particular asset class, and that asset went through a "down" period. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee profits or protect against loss. • Rebalance. Even without your taking sig- nificant actions, your portfolio can evolve in ways that may not be to your liking. For exam- ple, if some of your more aggressive invest- ments appreciate great- ly, they may eventually constitute a larger per- centage of your hold- ings than you had planned — and in doing so, elevate your overall risk level. To prevent this from happening, you should meet with your financial advisor periodically to "rebal- ance" your portfolio. • Seek quality. Many people latch onto "hot" investments, only to be disappointed when they "cool off." Instead seek quality vehi- cles — the ones that gen- erally lose the least ground when the mar- ket is down and recover more quickly when the mar- ket rallies. When you invest in stocks, for instance, look self constantly fretting about the market's ups and downs, to the extent that your worries are affecting the quality of your life, you may have a portfolio that's unsuited to your risk tol- erance. Conversely, if Susie Mustaine for those companies that have strong manage- ment teams, competitive products and good busi- ness models. When you purchase bonds, look for those with high rat- ings from the indepen- dent rating agencies. • Stay invested. It's tempting to "take a breather" from investing when the financial mar- kets are volatile. investment sidelines, you may miss out on the beginning of the next market rally. If you've built a But if you stay on the cautiously, which could be a concern when you're striving to reach long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Ultimately, there's no one "right" way for everyone to invest, but you do need to match your portfolio's compo- sition with your individ- ual risk tolerance and time horizon. Your financial advi- sor can help your find the "lineup" of invest- ment moves that is right for you.
