I have always spent money carelessly and recently had a job where I started paying some of my bills with money I stole from my employer. I need help desperately. I have confessed to my husband and need some professional help. Please help. -- Kit, email Dear Mary: Please help me. I never dreamed possible. At some point, and sooner than later, you must go to your employ- er with all of the money that you stole, and you must con- fess what you have done. How this will be received is completely Dear Kit: While I know so very little about you or where you live, what I do know is that your situa- tion has spun out of control. You embezzled money from your employer, which is a crime -- a felony. Please stop what you are doing right now and go to DebtorsAnony- mous.org. Look on the left side of the webpage, and click on "Find a DA Meeting." unknown, but something that you must do. My best advice is that you immediately find a Debtor's Anony- mous meeting in your area and get there as soon as possible, if not sooner. There is no charge for this. Just go there knowing that you will be immediately overwhelmed by what you hear. Promise me that you will stay through the entire meet- ing. Then return tomorrow and the next day and every day until you begin to recover. Then keep going. At DA, you will learn so much, but only if you keep showing up. Your life will change in ways you doing well in school. -- Bill, Min- nesota Dear Bill: Do you want to give the kids money to buy something like a computer? Or are you more interested in doing some- thing that will impact their lives in a much bigger way? Dear Mary: My two grandkids will be gradu- ating from high school in a couple of years. Since they were born, I have put aside a small amount of money regularly. When they graduate, I will have about $6,000 for each of them. I'm wondering the best way to give it to them. Should I give them the entire amount at once, or hold some in reserve to dole out once they are in college as a sort of "stipend" on a monthly or yearly basis? Both are very responsible kids who are Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate One idea would be to use this money to open investment accounts in their names (go to a web- site like Vanguard.com or Fidelity.com for informa- tion and help with open- ing custodial accounts), then add to them each year, rather than give cash to the kids. This would be a great way to teach them about the risks and rewards of investing in a practical, meaningful way. Do you have a question for Mary?

Celebrate fall at Whiskeytown Whiskeytown National Recreation Area staff and the Friends of Whiskey- town invite visitors to join them for the 2nd Annual Harvest Festival 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at the park's Tower House Historic District. This fun and family- friendly event will feature apple tasting, an apple- themed bake-off contest, games for all ages, and tours of the historic Cam- den House and orchards. Additionally, the festival will also offer a tour by world-renowned arborist Rico Montenegro, who will speak about ongoing efforts to restore and manage the historic orchards in the Tower House Historic Dis- trict. More than 15 varieties of apples will be available for tasting, all of which are heirloom cultivars, planted in the mid and late 19th century by Charles Camden and Levi Tower. These cul- tivars were grown organi- cally, possess unique char- acteristics and are not found in modern apple varieties. The bake-off will be judged by a local panel that include representatives from the culinary industry — prizes will be awarded to those with the best tasting creations. Please include the recipe for your dish, as it will be compiled into a harvest-themed cookbook, featuring historic Whiskey- town recipes from the jour- nals of early settlers. Visitors can park in the Tower House Historic Dis- trict parking lot and follow the footpath to the Camden House where the festivities will be held. The day-use fee will be waived for those participating in the Harvest Festival event. For more information, please contact Danica Willis at (530) 242-3438.
