Tuesday, September 4, 2012 – Daily News 3A Handle social obligations on a budget backwoods, you know some- thing about social obliga- tions -- events and situations that invite participation, whether we can afford them not. Unless you live as a hermit in the Then be ready with the appropriate response. Social obligations run the gamut from fundraisers to office lunches to family celebrations, and all kinds of things between. The problem for most of us is that we see social obligations as one big category. We feel guilty if we don't buy something from every school fundraising catalog. We grumble silently, but still show up for all the home parties, school events, office parties and family occasions. OBLIGATIONS TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES. Whether it's the sudden need to get a new car or a certain brand of shoes for the kids, if the true motivation is to impress others, it falls into this category. Whether it's an overpriced buck- et of cookie dough from a school fundraising catalog, another home party where you end up with ran- dom overpriced stuff or full-on par- ticipation in a family wedding that costs so much you can't bring your- self to think about it -- you may know something about the expense of feeling obligated to participate. Social obligations can become a horrible drain on any household budget. But they don't have to be if you know how to mange them. The very first thing you need to do when faced with a social obliga- tion is to quickly analyze into which of three categories it falls. Response: Create a special account that you rightly name: Things I Need to Impress Others. Don't be surprised when that need quickly passes. OBLIGATIONS TO KEEP FROM LOOK- ING POOR. It is this social obligation that finds you sitting with coworkers in an over- priced restaurant, search- ing madly for the appetizers on the lunch menu in hopes there'll be something -- anything -- you can order for the last $5 you have to your name. Or sitting in a friend's living room where you are expected to buy a $25 candle. Response: Don't even attend. Instead, when invited to anything for which you are not fully pre- pared to fund it without overspend- ing, say simply: "Thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately the The following defendants were sentenced in Tehama County Superior Court, according to the Tehama Coun- ty District Attorney's Office: —————— money I've earmarked for (eating out, fun stuff for the house) is spo- ken for. But catch me again next time, OK?" Rest assured that you will be regarded highly, if not secretly, for being smart enough to even have a bud- get. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate REQUIRE PARTICIPA- TION. There are times you must participate out of your respect or affection for others -- a boss, a par- ent, friend or colleague. To do otherwise will be harm- ful in a way that is just not right. social obligations that fall into this third category are not routine. They are rare and should be respected as such and expected. Response: Make sure you are setting aside money into a contingency fund of some kind for Unexpected Expenses, so that you are not caught off guard.

Von Crosson was originally granted formal proba- tion. He violated his probation when he was arrested for assault and failed to appear in court as ordered. • Antonio Montano Martinez was sentenced to three years state prison for driving while having a 0.08 per- cent or higher blood alcohol-Three prior convictions. Officers responded to the scene of a single vehicle accident. Upon arrival, officers located Martinez on the side of the road where he was bleeding and uncon- scious. After investigating the incident officers deter- mined Martinez was driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol when he lost control and was eject- ed from the vehicle. Recent County Jail Commitments • Randal Jon Morley was sentenced to 270 days in days in Tehama County Jail for evading an officer, will- ful disregard, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol. An officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Macedo. Macedo failed to pull over and a pursuit ensued. Macedo reached speeds of approximately 110 miles per hour, failed to stop at stop signs and drove recklessly. Macedo eventually lost con- trol of his vehicle and skidded to a stop. Macedo was ordered out of his vehicle at gunpoint and taken into custody. Tehama County Jail for post release community super- vision. • Sara Vellynn Soto was sentenced to 120 days in Soto was released from prison on post release com- munity supervision. She violated the terms of her supervision when she was arrested for burglary and failed to contact probation upon her release from cus- tody. An officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in which O'Brien was a passenger. Upon contacting the occupants of the vehicle the officer observed an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The officer con- ducted a search of the vehicle and located a large amount of marijuana. Recent Proposition 36 Commitments Note: All cases wherein a defendant is sentenced per the terms of Proposition 36 are not at the request of the Tehama County District Attorney's Office. Per the requirements of Proposition 36, a defendant who pos- sesses drugs cannot be sentenced to confinement time in jail or prison. Instead, the court must place defendant on probation and require drug treatment alone. Per the requirements of Proposition 36, only upon a third drug related probation violation may the court impose con- finement time. In the event the defendant violates a non-drug related term of probation the court may then elect to sentence defendant to jail or prison. The Tehama County District Attorney's Office contends that each criminal case is unique and that in certain, specific, cases a defendant should be sen- tenced to a combination of drug treatment and jail time. We further contend that in other specific cases where a defendant has an extensive criminal record and/or a history of non-compliance with either previ- ous grants of probation or previous grants of drug treatment, a state prison sentence should properly be imposed. • Octavio Magana was sentenced to Prop. 36 proba- tion for possession of concentrated cannabis. A deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Magana. The deputy received consent to search the vehicle and located three bags of marijuana inside the trunk. • John Mourad Marsh was sentenced to Prop. 36 probation for possession of a controlled substance. An officer contacted Marsh after it was reported his vehicle was blocking an off ramp. Upon speaking with Marsh the officer observed Marsh to be displaying the symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance. The officer conducted a search and located methamphetamine.
