Some are just show machines, but at least one of the decades-old tractors TAX Continued from page 1A Overall. In operation from Feb. 2 through April 15 at Family Resource Centers in Red Bluff, Corning and Los Molinos, volunteers prepared 64 returns this year, which is up from the 10-12 they did last year. They were able to find $81,000 in tax refunds and $43,900 in Earned Income Tax Credits, DeVries said. “We’re schooled to find them,” Crosby said. “We had several people tell us we did their taxes wrong (because they had never gotten money back).” In addition to doing taxes, the group can do amended tax returns, which involves looking at previous years’ Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Arrests Adaleberto Sandoval, 18, Dagoberto Sandoval, 18, and four juveniles, all of Corning, were report- edly arrested Thursday evening after entering a on display belonging to Hunt still gets busy on the farm. “It’s not all pretty and clean, ‘cause she’s still wear- ing her work clothes,” Hunt said of his work tractor. The real value behind Hunt’s collection is not the durability of his machines, but their history. Studying the machines can give us an understanding of how past generations succeed- ed with fewer resources Join the all-cash challenge for a week Could you live without plastic for a week? I mean, could you completely, cold turkey, give up the credit and debit cards in your day-to-day spending? Would you per- ish, or could you find a way to survive? As scary as that thought might be, I have no doubt that you would survive. More than that, I am nearly certain you would be better for having done so. To that end, I want to invite you to participate in the first ever "Everyday Cheapskate All-Cash Challenge" during the week of May 4 through May 10. The challenge's rules are sim- ple: For one full week, spend only cash for any and all local spend- ing. This includes gasoline, gro- ceries, eating out, kids' expenses and so forth. (This does not include paying your mortgage, auto payments, bill payments, pur- chases you make long distance or online, or ATM withdrawals.) Sounds simple enough, right? Great. Prove to yourself that you are not a slave to plastic by going to my blog, at http://www.Mon- eyRulesDebtStinks.com, and sign- ing up as an All-Cash Challenge participant. It's easy. Simply use the comments feature in the "All- Cash Challenge" post to make your pledge. Then come back every day to log your progress, experiences and what you're learning about yourself. I anticipate that our spending is going to plummet dur- ing Challenge Week. That's because spending cash is more real, inten- tional and in the moment. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of the challenge: 1) Anticipate. Look at the calendar. What expenses will you have during the week of May 4 through May 10? Will you be eating out? Stop- ping for coffee on the way to work? How about gasoline and groceries? Place a dollar figure on what your day-to-day needs will be for the week. very elementary, but just go with me. Label one envelope for each of the needs you anticipated in Step 2, and write the amount of money you are estimating for that expense. Keep it simple. 4) Divvy up the cash. Place the correct amount of cash into each of the envelopes. Preferably, you want to carry these envelopes with you so you have the cash handy when you need it. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate 2) Get the cash. You know what you'll need, so make sure you have that amount of money in cash prior to May 4. I suggest you get it in small denominations, which will make the next step easier. 3) Get envelopes. Yes, this is 5) Separate yourself. On May 3, you separate yourself from your plas- tic. All of it. Put the cred- it and debit cards into a safe place that is not in your wallet or handbag. That's it, just five sim- ple steps to prepare for this event. I can't wait to learn that you will be participating in the All-Cash Challenge. It's going to be great. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com.

Looking at the all-purpose antique motors on display, it would be easy to forget they were once used for not just water pumping and corn milling, but modern domestic con- venience as well. Some were even used returns to look for missed refunds, Reid said. Amended returns can be done up to three years back, Reid said. “Our goal is to increase (the number of amended returns done) and the num- ber of volunteers every year,” Reid said. Vita would like to have more bilin- gual volunteers next year, Overall said. Several of the women volunteering this year told Reid at the luncheon they looked forward to coming back in 2011. Winters said she was able to find as much as between $4,000 and $5,000 for people and Rodriguez found as much as $7,000. “I got money back (for myself) for the first time,” Rodriguez said. Winters said she enjoyed having the knowledge to do taxes, which helped pair of gang fights at West Street School and on Grant Avenue. Charges included bat- tery, participating in a criminal street gang, resisting or delaying a police officer and filing a false police report. Bail was set for the Sandovals at $12,500 each.
