(530) 529-3877 8 things to do with a tax refund It's easy to see a tax refund as some kind of gift from the uni- verse. It's not. It is a chunk of your annual income you should have been getting all along in your regular pay- checks. Plan now for how you'll manage it, or this refund easily could evaporate. 1. Treat it like a paycheck. Give away 10 percent, and save 10 per- cent; put the rest into your house- hold account. This is especially advisable if you are having trouble keeping up with your current finan- cial obligations. 2. Stash it. Put it in your contin- gency fund (a pool of money you keep in a safe place for serious emer- gencies) or freedom account. Don't think twice. Just get it into the bank quickly, before you are tempted to pick out a new TV or book a vacation trip abroad. Money in the bank lets you back away from the "edge" in ways that buying more stuff cannot. 3. Open a Roth IRA. Talk with your bank or go to http://www.van- guard.com to discover your options. Provided your contingency fund is well-funded and you are not drowning in credit card debt, this may be the perfect opportunity for you to boost your retirement funding. 4. Reduce cred- it card debt. You can send any amount at any time to your credit card account. Sending a great big unscheduled payment could be the jump-start you need to become debt- free. Determine that you will stop using that card and keep paying extra until it's at $0. always cheaper than repairs. 7. Build a stockpile. Set this 5. Replace a monster. It might be time to replace that energy-guz- zling refrigerator or fur- nace. Having the funds in hand to pay cash will put you in a beautiful posi- tion to negotiate a great deal. 6. Pump it into your car. Get the routine maintenance or repairs on your car that you've been avoiding. Preventive maintenance is almost Mary Hunt money aside to be used weekly at the grocery to stock up on "best deals." Carefully peruse the ads, and then match sale items with manufacturer coupons to get rock-bottom prices. 8. Invest in you. What do you need? A trip to the dentist, a couple of hours with a good therapist, a day at the spa? If that renews your joy, it might be the best money you ever have spent.

Black Butte Lake to open for season ORLAND – As the weather warms, more visitors return to Black Butte Lake to take advantage of the great outdoors. To kick off the 2010 Recreation Season, all campsites in the Buck- horn Recreation Area and the Orland Buttes Campground will re- open on Thursday, April 1. Individ- ual and group campsites in both areas can be reserved in advance, for dates after April 1, by calling the National Recreation Reserva- tion Service (NRRS) at 1-877-444- 6777 or at www.recreation.gov . Beginning April 1, the fee for a standard campsite at either camp- ground is $15 per night. The fee for Buckhorn Group Campground is $120 per night. The fee for the Orland Buttes Group Campground is $90 per night. Day use and camping fees are half price with a federal recreation pass. For more information on the new passes, go to http://store.usgs.gov/pass/index.ht ml. The collection of day use fees at the lake is a year round process. Fees will be collected at Buckhorn, Orland Buttes and Eagle Pass recre- ation areas. The fee is $4 per day per car. Fees are not charged in undeveloped areas, such as Grizzly Flat, Angler’s Cove, Burris Creek and Observation Point. A Corps of Engineers Annual Day Use Pass can be purchased for $30.
