MISSOULACHILDREN'STHEATRE Auditions set for local Treasure Island production The State Water Re- sources Control Board is reminding several cate- gories of water right hold- ers in California that they must file their annual wa- ter use report for the 2016 calendar year by April 1. The reporting require- ment applies to appro- priative water right hold- ers, including holders of water rights permits, li- censes, stock pond certifi- cates and registrations for small domestic, livestock stockpond and small ir- rigation uses. Those who file statements of water diversion and use, which include pre-1914 water rights and riparian rights, are required to report wa- ter use by July 1. The reporting require- ment was adopted by the State Water Board on Jan. 19, 2016, and affects about 18,800 surface wa- ter rights. The number of surface right holders is smaller, considering a number of entities own multiple water rights. Water users who divert 10 acre-feet or more per year are also required to install monitoring devices to measure their water use. Information regarding the new reporting and measuring regulations adopted by the State Wa- ter Board is available at http://www.waterboards. ca.gov/waterrights/water_ issues/programs/measure- ment_regulation/. This website explains the key provisions of the new reg- ulation and the deadlines for compliance. All diverters, regard- less of size, are required to report their monthly diversions on an annual basis. The regulations also allow the State Wa- ter Board to require more frequent reporting when available water supplies are determined insuffi- cient to serve all water right holders in a water- shed or necessary to pro- tect the environment. Failure to comply with the regulations is a viola- tion subject to civil liabil- ity of up to $500 per day under the California Wa- ter Code. The reports must be filed online using the Re- port Management Sys- tem at https://rms.water- boards.ca.gov/. Water us- ers should have received previous correspondence containing a user ID and password, which is re- quired for logging into RMS. If a password needs to be reset, or if a water right changes ownership, water users are respon- sible to contact the Divi- sion of Water Rights to get ownership records up- dated to obtain a new user ID and password or to re- set an existing password. Water users can contact the division by e-mail at eWRIMS@waterboards. ca.gov or by phone at 916- 323-9393 or 916-445-2812 if they need assistance with logging in. Water users needing assistance completing the report should contact the Division of Water Rights at 916-323-9393 or 916- 445-2812. WATER Rights holders required to file annual report Mercy High School will present the musical "Cin- derella" opening Friday at the school, 233 Riverside Way in Red Bluff.

MERCY HIGH SCHOOL CONTRIBUTED Pictured is the cast and crew of Mercy High School's "Cinderella." Every year about this time, my mailbox tells me it's time to review the gen- eral guide- lines on how long to keep statements, paid bills and other impor- tant paper- work. Today's quick review should help you get your paperwork in order just in time to file your 2016 tax return. Here are the general rules for how long to keep important household pa- pers: Oneyear Keep pay stubs for at least one year, so you can reconcile them against your W-2 (this is the form from your employer that shows how your annual earnings were allocated, which you attach to your tax return) and your So- cial Security Earnings Statement (which you re- ceive once a year in the mail, though you can re- quest a copy any time on the Social Security web- site). You'll be happy to have your pay stubs to prove your earnings and withholdings if your re- cords do not match the entries on these forms. Active/Indefinite As for receipts and re- cords of bills paid, keep them only as long as the situation is active. For ex- ample, a paid water bill is no longer active, but the receipt for your new water heater is active. Attach it to the owner's manual and warranty. You can confi- dently destroy statements for closed accounts, ex- pired warranties, cancelled checks for minor items that are not related to a proof of purchase or in- come tax, and instructions for appliances or equip- ment that you have sold or discarded. Every home needs a paper shredder. Three years minimum The IRS requires that you keep your tax returns and substantiating documentation as long as is necessary to prove the validity of those returns. There are some experts who say that means forever. Others say seven years is sufficient. You decide for your own particular situation. Seven years Seven years from the last date of activity is suf- ficient for moving ex- penses, business or em- ployee expense records, appraisals, charitable contributions and medi- cal expenses. Forever Some of your important papers should be kept for- ever, such as birth re- cords, military records, marriage records, divorce records, death records, education records, em- ployment records, med- ical records, lawsuit re- cords and family history documentation. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get or- ganized. Four boxes with lids and a highlighter pen make a dandy sys- tem. Label the boxes "Ac- tive/Indefinite," "Three Years," "Seven Years" and "Forever." Next, get all your paperwork out and into one place. As you go through the stacks, as- sess how much time has passed from the last date of activity. Once you find the date on the docu- ment, highlight it so you won't have to search for the date the next time you go through these items. Then, assign each item to its proper box.
