My brother informed us that he cannot afford to buy us din- ner, so we will have to pay for our own meals. My hus- band and I would like to get the "birthday girl" a gift but feel a bit strange about the invitation. What is the proper response? -- Deborah S., Wisconsin Dear Deborah: Here's a principle to live by: Be cheap with yourself but not with others. If going to this party would improve your relation- ship with your brother and his wife (even if it's already great), that's what you need to do. If paying for your own dinner means not eating out for the next three months or skipping a couple of new outfits, that's a small sacri- fice for all the good this will do in the long run. Take a nice card and a small gift if you can swing it. If not, just being there and participating in a fabulous meal will be a wonderful gift. It will demonstrate your love and generosity. By the way, these days I don't think this is an unusual or strange invitation. I think we're going to see a lot more of this kind of creativity as more and more people are facing tough times. Dear Mary: It is important to me that I feed my family an organic diet. I feel that it is an investment in our health to avoid foods full of artificial ingredients. We go vegetarian a few nights a week to help with costs, but is there a way to save at natural foods stores? My local supermarkets leave a lot to be desired in their organic food choices, and Whole Foods is expensive. Do you have any tips for being a fru- gal and savvy organic consumer? -- Holly, e- mail stands for community supported agriculture -- in your area. Find one that specializes in organic products. Go to http://www.LocalHarvest.org/csa to find a CSA near you. Here's how it works: A farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Interested con- sumers purchase shares, or memberships, and, in return, receive boxes (or bags or baskets) of season- al produce each week throughout the farming season. Mary Hunt Dear Holly: You can shop at Whole Foods. Just make sure you only buy things when they are on sale. Plan ahead. Peruse the weekly spe- cials, and plan accordingly. You also can grow your own Everyday Cheapskate food. Yes, it's a big job, but if you are committed to an organic diet, do the work yourself and reap the financial benefits. Consider joining a CSA -- which Here's another idea: Go in together with friends or neighbors to purchase a side of beef once each year. Check with a local rancher or butcher shop to learn more about organically raised beef in your area. Do you have a question for Mary?

Sutter Buttes stories stroll The Buttes Lore with Ira Heinrich stroll is scheduled 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 24. A life-long study of the Middle Mountains endows Heinrich with intricate knowledge of the Sutter Buttes’ cul- tural history. He will weave tales that take us back in time — before Aaron Pugh, who pio- neered Peace Valley, or the fur trappers of the 1830s, all the way back to the Maidu and Patwin Indians who considered the Buttes the center of their universe. This gentle hike will traipse through the low- lands of Peace Valley and include a visit to the Moon Cave, posi- tioned above Cat Rock Creek. Cost is $15 for Yuba Historical Society members and $25 for non-members. Member- ship price begins at $15. To register, learn more about this and other hikes and get directions to the meet- ing site, call 846-3024, email: Daniel@yubahistory.co m or visit www.yubahistory.com.
