I went to great lengths to prove it, too. Boy, did that get me into a lot of trouble. It's not cheap to make sure others think you have a lot of money. You might know my story, where that got me and the change that took place in my life to bring me back to solvency and on to financial free- dom. (You can read it at http://www.DebtProofLiving.com, under "Meet Mary.") After facing thousands of dollars of debt, I bold- ly adopted the lifestyle of a cheap- skate. To some, "cheapskate" is an ugly word. To me, it was life- changing. I did not become a bag lady. I didn't -- and never will -- Dumpster dive to feed my family. I still like nice things. I enjoy traveling and am on track to pay off my mort- gage. For me, being a cheapskate means that I give generously, save consistently and don't spend money I don't have. This life philosophy has allowed me to pay off a ton of debt, save for retirement and live a pretty nice life. In the nearly 20 years since I took this cheapskate thing public, Cheap is chic again the U.S. has gone through three recessionary periods. Each time, I've seen an awakening in people to embrace frugal- ity. But never has that surge been as strong as it is during this current recession. I love it. Once again, frugality has come into its own as a fabulous way to live on less while surviving financial chal- lenges and economic woes. Collecting and using coupons is once again in vogue, and I mean in a big way. Any kind of shame that once existed for handing over a big stack of coupons at the supermarket checkout counter has all but van- ished. Instead, enthusias- tic couponers boast of their savings, blogging about who can turn out the cheapest healthy meals, who can find the best bargains at Target and how to get toothpaste for a nickel at Walgreens. (Actually, if you play your cards right, you can get it for free from time to time.) young families are discovering the gold mines that they are. Craigslist, eBay, The Freecycle Network and Web sites like them are setting traf- fic records. Dollar stores are setting sales records and opening new locations wherever they can. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Once again, a new group of people is learning that cheap is chic and that it's fun to be frugal. I have a feeling that this time around, as the recession begins to recede, instead of falling back into their old ways, the many newly minted cheapskates are going to stick to the atti- tude of frugality they've adopted. And why not? If one can live on less and save the difference, who would ever want to go back? Mary Hunt is the founder of Bartering for baby-sitting is back in style, and thrift shops are seeing a monumental surge in business as www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including her latest, "Can I Pay My Credit Card Bill With a Credit Card?"

Tea Party group to hold candidates night The Tehama County Patriots is having the third in a series of Candidates’ Nights at its weekly meeting Tuesday at 6 p.m. The candidates speaking will be LeRoy Anderson, incumbent for Auditor-Controller, Dennis Garton, Super- visor District 3, Dave Hencratt, Sheriff-Coroner, and Todd Bottke, Judge Superior Court. Candidates will be asked how the office for which the candidate is running relates to the Tehama County Patriots’ values of limited government, fiscal responsibility and adherence to the Constitution and how each candidate would implement the oath of office, “To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.” The group meets at the Trinity Landmark Missionary Church, 20920 Hampton Rhodes Drive off Paskenta Road. Open house set on Battle Creek Construction The Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; the National Marine Fisheries Service; the California Depart- ment of Fish & Game; and Pacific Gas and Electric Company will host an open house 6:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday at the Manton Grange Hall to talk with Manton neigh- bors about the upcoming con- struction projects for the Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project. The project will restore approxi- mately 42 miles of Battle Creek's Chinook salmon and steelhead habitat while maintaining the con- tinued production of hydroelectric power. Construction on the restoration project began in February after many years of planning, coordina- tion, compliance and design efforts. More information about the project is posted at www.usbr.gov/mp/bat- tlecreek or the Battle Creek Water- shed Conservancy's Web site: http://www.battle-creek.net. Crews will begin the restoration by removing and modifying various dams/ canals/ and pipelines along the North Fork of Battle Creek at the Wildcat, Eagle Canyon, and North Battle Creek Feeder Diver- sion Dams. Work will also take place along the South Fork of Battle Creek at Coleman, Inskip, South, Lower Ripley Creek Feeder, and Soap Creek Feeder Diversion Dams; and at the Asbury Pumped Diversion located on Baldwin Creek. The project is anticipated to be completed in fall 2014.
