Wealth Check: 'Should I pay off my student debt now or later?'
Saturday 21 August 2010
Michael Brooks graduated from university this year and recently started working as a junior project manager for Unilever. He is currently earning £24,000 per year and lives with his parents in Hemel Hempstead.
Having just finished his studies, he is worried about how to clear his student debt. "Despite being careful with my spending at university, it has left me with a large student debt and very little in my current account," he admits. He wants to know if he should be making overpayments on his loan now while interest rates are low.
Michael, 21, is also planning to rent his own property in London within three years, and hopes to buy within seven years. However, with the high house prices in London and the little savings he has, he is unsure how to achieve this goal. Thinking about the future, Michael wants to know if he should be paying more into a retirement scheme now.
Case notes
Annual income: £24,000
Annual expenditure: Tax and NICs: £5,516.35
Living expenses: £1,800
Holidays: £0
Savings/insurance: £600
Pensions: £1,200
Other costs: £3,880
Total: £12,996.35
Advice this week comes from Nick Evans of One Life Wealth Planning, Diane Weitz of Ashlea Financial Planning, and Lorreine Kennedy of CareMatters...
Michael has done well getting a place on a graduate scheme and is earning a much higher salary than the average graduate. The fact that he is considering retirement schemes so thoroughly is both impressive and unusual, says Kennedy, as the average age of starting a pension in the UK is 28.
However, Evans warns that Michael must look at the broader picture and consider his short-term goals before putting additional payments into a pension scheme.
"Money saved in pensions means it's not available for other things," he points out. "It therefore comes down to the timescales Michael sets himself to achieve other savings goals such as a car or house deposit. That said, an additional £100 per month into a pension now would pay huge dividends in the long term."
Michael's pension scheme is particularly valuable, says Weitz. "It's a career average scheme which takes a contribution of 5 per cent salary from the employee and provides benefits of 1/60th of his salary for the current year. It means each year that Michael remains with the company he will gain a defined benefit of 1/60th of that year's salary."
Kennedy suggests that Michael could make larger contributions now if he wishes but says "as his immediate needs are to generate liquid assets, I would not recommend tying up his money to age 65 other than by making the current 5 per cent payments".
Michael should take advantage of the tax-free interest in an ISA and use the annual cash allowance of £5,100 to save for emergencies and buy a car. Weitz says that the best rates are currently around 2.7 per cent, so Michael should check his account matches that. She also recommends that he increases his monthly savings to make the most of an ISA.
"As Michael's salary increases, the savings will become increasingly valuable, as the interest is free of tax," she says. "I would recommend building up an emergency fund of around £12,000. Saving £200 a month into the ISA over four years, in addition to the lump sum of £2,000, should produce around £12,300 at current rates."
Student loan
A deduction of £65 a month, or £780 a year of Michael's salary is being made though PAYE towards his student loan. Although the loan interest was 0 per cent for a short period of time last year, it is not going to rise dramatically and so will remain a very cheap form of debt. Evans recommends that Michael pays off his overdraft before he worries about paying off his student loan for that reason.
"While it may go against his natural instinct, there is an argument to suggest Michael should consider using his savings to pay off your overdraft immediately. Even if you delayed any new savings for a while, it's still likely to take you at least three months to clear your overdraft just through income," he points out.
Buying a property
Kennedy warns of the difficulties of taking first steps on the property ladder. "As a first-time buyer Michael will need savings of around £25,000 to provide a deposit and fees associated with house purchase," she warns.
"Without parental support or financial encouragement from the government Michael may find himself in a similar situation as many other first-time buyers – unable to buy for the foreseeable future." However, she recommends that he takes advantage while living with his parents to save as much as possible.

Temperature rating
There is no universal standard for rating sleeping bags. Ratings vary according to manufacturer. How a bag performs greatly depends on its insulating material, construction and loft. When selecting a temperature rating for a sleeping bag, be sure to consider the following:
Most sleeping bags are filled with goose or duck down or with synthetic insulation. These materials are sandwiched between the sleeping bag's shell and lining via enclosed channels, layers or baffles.

Criminal justice records are a source of data on victims and offenders of human trafficking that were part of investigations, arrests, prosecutions and convictions.
Service providers' records are a source of data on victims identified by public authorities and sheltered by service providers.
Other administrative sources may provide data on foreign victims returned to their countries.
Data available on human trafficking is usually incomplete and based on methodology that varies from one country to another.
Some of the countries that have been able to provide some information on the number of victims or offenders, are not yet able to provide basic information about victims and offenders, such as sex, age or citizenship.
Data on human trafficking may be mingled with data referring to smuggling or irregular migrations, which may have a different gender pattern.
Cases of men victims of human trafficking may be more likely to be under-detected, because they are more often trafficked for forced labour.

As Long As the CHAR-KOOSTA Wat°" F'™ • • • PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY. MONT Vol. 3 — No. 3 ribal Ownership on Lake Shore Discussed* Hope to Issue Permits In the December issue of the Char-Koosta, we carried an article on the elevation of Flathead lake and what it means to the Tribe. We have a meridian line surveyed in 1913 for flood and power purpose's at 2902.02 which takes in some valuable land of property owners, however 2902.02 only pertains to flooding and for power purposes. We realize this should not be confusing because the Tribe is not interested in the land between 2902.02 and 1893, however, when we get to the high water mark of 2893 then the Tribe claims all land and water below that elevation. It is true that there are many fine homes on Flathead lake and many people own lots that probably there are no buildings on, and we do not question their owneship but we do confirm the fact by our treaty and prior court actions that whenever any one gets on our waters or land below 2893 they are in trespass. We have never indicated we should go to court, because we have nothing to prove. Our rights are recognized. We understand the Flathead Lakers association which is a newly organized association for the purpose of probably taking the Tribe into Court, and have hired attorneys, etc., but we are still not excited and we intend to issue longtime permits at about $2.00 for each boat dock, not transferrable, this will be supported by a Tribal Ordinance. Fortunately, your writer had the opportunity to talk before the Rotary Club at Poison on January 8, 1959. The Rotar-ians at the close of the question and answer period were very well satisfied with the intentions of the Tribal Council. It was also brought out that feuds between the non-Indians upon the lake have not contributed very much to solving the problem. This picture was taken of the primitive area where Kerr Dam is now built. The very appropriate picture is taken of the rapids on the Flathead river where the Indians used to live close to nature near the boiling blue waters and fish to their heart's content. This picture is typical of Chief Eneas Koostahstah, the last recognized chief of the Kootenai Tribe, Chief Koostahstah, always dressed in the finest way, whether he dressed in street clothes or in his Indian costume. Kerr Dam is up the river a little way from where the Chief is standing. As has been stated from some politicians, Kerr Dam was a dam built without too much money being spent, just fill the natural rock canyon with cement and there it is. Flathead Tribe Gets $4,384 In Timber Trespass Case Superintendent Charles S. Spencer reports that the Civil Court case against Emil Sirucek for timber trespass on tribal lands has been successfully ocmpleted in the United States District Court with a favorable dicision rendered by U. S. District Judge W. D Murray on Feb. 15, 1959. The defendant had been charged with cutting and converting to his own use 182,9000 board feet of timber belonging to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The finding of the Court Was that the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribse will recover $4,384.48 for the timber illegally cut by Emil Sirucek. This action completes the timber trespass case started in 1953 when Emil Sirucek cut tribal timber from tribal lands near Schwartz Lake. This is one of the first cases of this kind completed through the courts.

I don't have got the hardware, first i would check the pci-id of all devices if they are in the intel driver or not.
lspci -nn
could be helpful. Then maybe you find a difference in the driver when you can find that specific id for the VGA chip. I don't think you can blame the hw vendor if intel maybe changed a little thing in the latest hw revision.

It's entertaining!
By joysann

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
My cats will watch it for a few minutes before moving on to other things (they're very young; short attention spans), but then it will catch his or her eye again for more serious watching for another few minutes. Since it has soothing/calming sounds and visuals, it's not annoying for humans, like a screen saver that can be ignored. The only thing I find questionable is the really close up shots of critters like tarantulas and rodents... on a larger TV screen, they appear HUGE, much larger than the cats watching. Wouldn't the kitties find that threatening rather than fun? All in all, tho, my cats and I enjoy the DVD.

Great for the right cat!
By Tbird
from Los Angeles, CA
I have two cats - one loves this video, the other is completely oblivious, so it all depends on your cats. One "knows" it's "just a video" and the other is captivated and bats at the TV screen, and sits waiting for it to come on. Even he will tire of it, though, so it's no use to leave it on indefinitely. If you don't want your animals going behind the TV to hunt for the critters, don't leave them unattended with it. It's great IF your cat responds to it.

Kitty and people NOT impressed
poor -- wasted money to buy it -- worth zero stars but had to enter one for system to accept review
(6 of 6 customers found this review helpful)
I have never seen a funnier sight than my cat watching this video! I turned it on for him and he was captivated by it throughout the entire video! When it ended and I turned it off he sat by the TV just looking at me, as if he wanted me to turn it back on. I highly recommend this product! It is worth every penny and then some!

Sample ballots missing info, supplemental ballots on the way
Delaine Fragnoli
Managing Editor
When they received their voter guides and sample ballot booklets last week, sharp-eyed voters were quick to report missing information to county election officials. Specifically, information about the U.S. Senate race was omitted.
"We wish to thank the voters who called this to our attention so quickly," Williams said. "While we strive for perfection, working under such tight timeframes can cause something to be missed in proofreading, as was the case in this situation."
She pointed out that all official ballots and vote-by-mail ballots include all the candidate races.
Williams reminds voters that if they have moved since they last voted and have not re-registered, they need to do so by May 24.
Also, those voters who have requested a ballot and not received one within one week should contact the elections office at 283-6256.
Those with any other voting questions may call that number or 283-6129.

Soapsuds Hollow: Scenic Dells, picture puzzle make excellent combo
Many people who spend most of their time at home enjoy the challenge of a good picture puzzle.My niece, Sophie, brought a puzzle to me while we waited for Thanksgiving dinner, and asked if I would like to help put the puzzle together. Of course, I agreed. Sophie has been putting this puzzle together for several years now, so it only took a minute to find the right places for all 12 pieces.The map of the United States was the old standby when I was young. Each state was cut from a small piece of wood, and Rhode Island was most likely lost the first day we had it, but we would have fun placing the pieces in their respective area of the country.It also helped us learn the State Capitols. Every now and then at dinner, Mom would ask, "What's the capitol of Kentucky?" Another time, it would be Vermont or Montana or Florida, but we had to be on our toes. That map was our textbook.Lois Bunkers Schwebach likes to work picture puzzles. She's good at it. She always has one going at Orchard Hills at the top of the balcony, it seems. Sometimes Lois will choose one with an exceptionally nice picture, complete it and then frame it. Local photographer Craig Kummerfield has taken some fantastic photos, many of them of the scenic beauty surrounding the Dells and the Big Sioux River at Dell Rapids. One of my cousins and I were visiting recently about his work, and the question arose regarding the possibility of having one of Craig's photos made into a puzzle for Lois.Mr. K was most obliging.He found a nice digital of the Garfield Bridge, taken from the east looking west, as the fall colors were in their glory. He found someone to make it into a puzzle for us.My guess is that Lois will frame this one, too.

"A copiously illustrated guidebook to a system of learning about birds, The Crossley ID Guide: Eastern Birds is quite unlike anything previously published. The guide relies on extraordinarily detailed, digitally composed photographic montages of 640 bird species that Crossley created from his own portfolio. Plates contain numerous depictions of a species superimposed against a background of its most common North American habitat. Visual learners will find it well suited to how they process information."John E. Riutta.

Welcome to the website of the Parliamentary Press Gallery.
We represent the news organisations and journalists that report on the British parliament.
Our members are the journalists and commentators with a pass to work in the Palace of Westminster, covering British politics for newspapers, magazines, agencies, online news sites, radio and television stations.
In short, the gallery represents the whole gamut of UK's political media.
In theory, the Press Gallery does what it says on the tin: it covers proceedings in the House of Commons from the gallery in the chamber from where the press can watch the debate taking place beneath them.
But in practice, our members cover pretty much any piece of news that breaks at Westminster.
For news flows through the houses of parliament like water through the Thames.
Fleet Street may be dead but this is the one place left in the UK where journalists from across the industry work together.
So that makes the Press Gallery a unique forum for the sharing of gossip, ideas and stories; a place where political narratives are formed and where the collective consensus of the political media is established.
And as you will see elsewhere on this website it is an organisation with a long and distinguished history, formed in 1803 when public demand for information about the war against Napoleon forced the Speaker to reserve some seats in the House of Commons for the press.

Yea, I know what you mean susieQ. We live around lots of black dudes and my wife will fuck one every so often, showing me up, seeing as how I'm about 5 inches and they are usually 9 or 10 inches. But I love watching their big cocks pound her pussy while she moans in pleasure and her big tits bounce around. Then I watch them empty their big huge cum filled balls into her pussy and I get to clean it up. Sometimes after she'll suck me off and then kiss me and give it all back to me so I can swallow even more cum. Or somtimes her lovers will fuck her and then pull out before they cum and she'll suck them off and I'll kiss her and get it that way. I love it!
karin November 3, 2011
susieQ, like me!
susieQ September 22, 2011
My husband lets me do this. I pick the guy from a bar and take him home explaining my husband enjoys just watching. Most BBC like the idea of 'showing-up' my hubbys little dick and a few times made him rub their balls while filling me up !

My wife fucks her lover when I am at work sometimes. Then I come home and she shows me her pussy which is still cummy and red. She will usually have some cum in her hair too. It makes me huge and hard to know that she is full of another man's cum. I like to spank her and tie her up and fuck her arse hard and fill it with cum.

The XCEL Infinity Drylock - Wetsuit of the Year!
The 3/2mm Men's XCEL INFINITI DRYLOCK Fullsuit with dual barrier system is the recipient of the SIMA Wetsuit of the Year Award! If you want every feature known to man, this is your suit. Water stays out thanks to a combination of Drylock gaskets at wrists, ankles, and neck, plus a waterproof chest zipper. The horizontal chest zip also has an inside seal, and has been reconfigured for easier on/off.

Rather a Neo Protestant one. Since 1054, in Europe the Church founded by Jesus Christ splitt and was divided in Eastern Church (also knew as Orthodox Church) and Western Church also knew as Catholic Church. At its turn the Catholic Church divided and became Protestant Curch and Catholic Church. Beginning with half of 18th century from Protestant Church separated groups of believers who became Neo Protestants, the most perfidious association of "christians". During all these times, the Catholic Church and Orthodox Curch (this last lesser) were penetrated by false believers of Jews nationality whose main objective was to seed confusion among christians, to preach false teachings, having nothing in common with the originary Church, with christian traditions and teachings.
You know how the nervs and synapses in everyones brain contact together and how it looks like? Ok, now look at this picture, showing millions of Galaxies...
With your way of thinking, you are already more than half way there to becoming a muslim!
Maybe, i do this way of thinking since i was a little child. For me its normal
It's interesting to see that understanding here of Christians and the Christian faith are just as muddled as understanding of Islam in the US.
Hmmm..Shouldn't you be more concerned about how Christianity has been twisted over the ages to suits ones comfort level than being concerned about the "understanding" of it the members have here on this forum ?Todays christianity looks more like an underwear than a religion to me which can be easilly changed the way one wants.
Who cares what a religion looks like? Only superficial ritualists....
I thought my point was concise. Christianity is fractured into sects, each believing they are the sole possessors of divine truth. Many militantly so. Some do wear their Christianity as you describe. I would say they are "cultural" Christians as opposed to religious Christians who take their Christianity personally.Does not Islam suffer similarly?
It is a human nature to disagree on even the most transperant things.but the point I am trying make here is that Islam will never goto a level where the definition of god itself is changed and been twisted in many ways the way christianity has done..like believeing jesus as son of god or as a god itself.
Yes, it is human nature. Your comment, however, on changing the definition of God, goes back to my original point. Christianity has not "twisted" God's definition. I think all Christians agree on Christ's divinity, the Son of God in that he was God's manifestation in human form, sacrificed for all to redeem them from sin. Proving God's loving nature seeking to redeem all who will believe from their sins against Him.
It's not just christians who beleive in jesus christ divinity.Majority of Muslims have faith and belief in jesus christ and virgin Mary.Its jews who hate jesus christ and in turn the christians have provided an unending support to them. Now back to the original question.First believeing jesus christ as so called "son" of god is a much vibrant proof of twisting the definition of god itself which is despicable.Just imagine a god having a son.So what would you say about a father who lets his "son" be tortured and killed so mercilessly ??
If most Muslims believe as you say, why are Christians persecuted throughout the Islamic world?
As to Christ being the Son of God, you are entitled to your beliefs and I, mine.
Christians believe that Christ's suffering was God's will to atone for the sin of mankind as the perfect sacrifice. Frankly, I'm hardly qualified to fathom the mind of God or to pass judgment upon his actions. You may feel you are, but I, certainly, am not.

Perfect fit
Absolutely love these! Got several compliments both times I have worn them. Very comfortable and fit true to size. I am 5'6", 150 lbs and the 8 fit me perfectly. Would highly recommend.
July 5, 2013
What's up with the sizes?
I'm surprised no one else has been having issues with the sizes. I have always been a 2 in the pants and jeans. I decided to try on a 4 bc the last pair of 678's I purchased would barely fit. Been having issues all fall with 678 sizes. Not sure if my body has changed but I tried on 2 in shorts and Drews and they fit just fine so I still think the jeans are off. However, the 4 fit nicely, a little loose but not enough to pass on. Worried about stretching :/ Other than that GREAT quality. Excited to wear. It's a cute pattern and great light color.
April 20, 2013
Not for curvy petites
I hate to be the only one to give a low rating, but these jeans did not work for me. For reference, I am 5'2", with 28" waist and 36-38" hips, and these jeans did not do me any favors >_< Unfortunately, the light color and wash - which I avoid to begin with but overlooked due to all the glowing reviews - ended up being as bad as I first assumed (made me look so much wider), and the fit of the size 4 is surprisingly big. Perhaps a 2 would have fit me better, but I don't think it's worth sending back for one. The fabric is great though, very comfortable and stretchy - so if it fits you well, this is a keeper.
April 19, 2013
Love these jeans!! I usually wear a 6 but I got the 8 on Clearance since they were out of 6 and I must say they fit perfectly. I am 5'7 140 lbs and I look very curvy in these unlike most of my other "skinnies"! These are a must have!
April 8, 2013
a must have!!!
i'm a solid 8 but am curvy and struggle with 'skinny' jeans....but not these. they fit PERFECT!! i'm 5'6" and about 140. the picture doesn't do them justice!!
March 2, 2013
So cute.
Looove these pants. The polka dot print is adorable and the color is perfect for spring. Of course, I couldn't wait until spring to wear them and have already received multiple compliments. Would definitely recommend!
February 26, 2013
LOVE these jeans!
These jeans immediately caught my eye in store because of the pretty polka dot pattern so I immediately got my standard size 4 to try on. 98% of the time I'm a size 4 in Limited bottoms, including the 678 skinny jeans but occassionally I have to go up a size even in the 678's. The size 4 fit perfectly! I was a little worried that the lighter wash on these wouldn't be as flattering on as I tend to carry my weight in my bottom half but these are incredibly flattering on. For some reason, the denim on these seems to be just a tad bit thicker than the colored 678 skinnies that I have but that's definitely not a detraction. In fact, the extra touch of thickness seem to suck everything in a bit more. These still have the give that the other 678's have so that combined with the pretty polka dot pattern really slim the legs. These are perfect for spring but I might not be able to wait that long to wear them. I seriously could not be more pleased with these jeans. Of all the skinnies I have, I think these just might be my favorite because of the pretty pattern and great quality. I would LOVE it if the Limited came out with these in a dark wash with white polka dots. Highly recommend if you're wanting to get on the polka dot trend that's still going strong. The online picture does not do these justice. I think these will sell out fast!

I love these jeans!
If you love the fit of the 678, then these jeans are for you! Polka dot prints are going to be huge in the spring and summer, and these jeans are perfect to start the trend! They're really comfortable, and adorable.

Public forum on Measure B held in Quincy
Linda SatchwellStaff Writer8/4/2010
The Measure B forum held by the League of Women Voters July 29, at the Veterans Hall in Quincy was notable for a couple of things: its civility considering the contentious nature of the debate on this measure, and its lack - for the most part - of new questions or ideas.
Measure B proposes to cap the hospital tax at $50/$100,000 assessed value.
Every facet of this debate, which has hit voters and taxpayers hard in their minds and pocketbooks, has been discussed and argued already.
Because the tax cappers were discussing the issue with fellow citizens in the Save Our Hospital group, rather than the board and administration of Plumas District Hospital, the debate was calmer, less extreme and, while each side showed its areas of entrenchment, they also showed sincere interest in this community and in the fate of its hospital.
Jane Braxton-Little of the League of Women Voters moderated the forum, and Nancy Lund was the timekeeper. Braxton-Little introduced the pro-Measure B $50/100K members as Bob Herr, private citizen and taxpayer, and Skip Alexander, private citizen and taxpayer.
Peter Hentschel, attorney, and Bill Coates, former supervisor and businessman since 1974, represented the Save Our Hospital group.
Opening statements presented the mantra that each side would intone for the rest of the evening, with some slight, but interesting variations.
Skip Alexander opened by saying, as he has many times before, that the hospital had "taken advantage of" taxpayers when they put together Measure A, that the tax was "excessive," and finally, that "the hospital won't close."
Hentschel and Coates, on the other hand, maintained an absolute certainty that the death of Measure A would mean the eventual death of the hospital. Hentschel pointed out that the hospital can't purchase bonds if there is a cap on the tax, because the bonds couldn't be guaranteed.
Further, Measure A money was raised specifically to pay for the new hospital building; it can't be shifted to pay for upgrading the old building. If Measure B passes, then, "it will devastate healthcare," said Hentschel.
Coates expanded on the hospital's demise theme by saying PDH was down three doctors already, and it had been unsuccessful in recruiting new physicians over the past three years.
Coates also said repeatedly the community has been strong for 160 years, having weathered both natural and economic disasters. To his mind, what's been behind that strength is the way this community has always bonded together in times of need.
He said, further, that he'd hoped for a Quincy Library Group-type of discussion with the tax cappers, but this hadn't happened.
Coates is also one of the prime movers behind the recent board meeting decision to make $125/$100,000 of assessed value its upper limit.
Coates' group consulted with bond counselors and state financial managers in coming up with a figure they feel is viable in two ways: It will cover the cost of bonds if the hospital gets the USDA loan they've applied for - currently at 4.0 - 4.5 percent. In addition, it is an amount they feel, after talking to a large number of district taxpayers, that is affordable.
The July 15 special board meeting where PDH's board hammered out the language of this agreement with members of the SOH group was one of the points of contention for the pro-Measure B group at the forum, however.
They said the reason they were conspicuously missing from that meeting was that no one had told them it was occurring.
To the Measure B proponents, the meeting appeared to a planned effort to keep the Measure B group away as the Save Our Hospital group worked with the hospital board.
It was pointed out in this newspaper, the Measure B group could request PDH notify them of special meetings via email. not sure what this has to do with anything in the forum discussion
On the other hand, when one questioner asked how the $50/$100,000 amount had been chosen, Alexander explained it had been figured by taking the $87 estimated high tax, and working out that at a 2 percent inflation rate, $50 now would equal $87 in 30 years, at the back end of the loan.
Herr said, "Of course, part of the problem is that bond payments or taxes are front loaded. The $87 high actually comes very early in the life of the bond, then declines from there."
That statement put a dent in the reasoning behind the $50 figure. When another questioner noted even some tax cap proponents were beginning to admit $50 was too low a figure, Alexander said he hadn't heard that.
In addition, Alexander raised the specter of a Measure C. He said if the money raised can't be used to fix the existing hospital, then "maybe they need to come up with a new measure to let that happen."
PDH will find out at the end of September whether it will receive the low interest USDA loan; however, the cap would effectively kill that possibility, said Hentschel and Coates.
When asked what solution the tax cappers have to the hospital's problems, Alexander said "I don't know ... the hospital should figure it out."
Hentschel countered the board had spent the past 10 years doing just that, and the much reduced new hospital building paid for by Measure A was their long considered answer.
Coates said, "It's up to us to figure it out," reminding the audience repeatedly that PDH is "our hospital."
Alexander responded that the "$125/$100,000 doesn't sound good and it's not guaranteed."
Hentschel explained, "with the benefit of hindsight," the SOH group could ask a lot of questions and do research to develop their figures.
"We're comfortable with the numbers. We're satisfied that you'll not pay more than $100/$100,000 average over the life of the bond."
Coates said his group did the research and brought these figures to the board "because we were afraid to lose the hospital. We came up with a plan," adding they'd repeatedly asked the Measure B group to offer a plan, but they hadn't done so.
Alexander said he didn't trust the $125 figure, and that PDH has "said the same thing before."
Given the dismal economy, he said, "maybe we need to stop with this until people get their jobs back."
Herr, however, said he thought the USDA loan was a good idea, and the board should have been looking at this from the beginning.
Herr pointed to a recent downturn in the hospital's financial picture, saying they'd experienced a "$502,000 operational loss" and a "$250,000 net loss."
Alexander also hit the figures, saying that according to County Assessor Chuck Leonhardt, assessed values were likely to be lower by about 5 percent countywide.
This, he said, "drags the assessed value pool down," though Leonhardt was estimating that "Quincy is up 1 percent."
When contacted, Leonhardt said the actual figure is worse - the countywide assessment is down by 8.3 percent.
Shawn Montgomery, Auditor, said Plumas District Hospital's secured roll assessment was down 4.8 percent from last year. She said that it usually goes up 2 percent, so this marks a 6.8 percent drop.
She and Leonhardt agree this is a historic decline.
Moreover, Alexander said if the assessed value pool goes down, the hospital couldn't borrow as much money. Already they'd cut the amount from $17 million to $15.3 million, since the district can only borrow up to 2.5 percent of the assessed value of the district.
"Where," asked Alexander, "is the extra money going to come from?"
Coates replied the hospital needs $21 million to build. "If we get 15.3 million [in USDA bonds], and $4 million in revenue bonds from PDH's revenue stream and then the rest from fundraising. We'll just ante up."
Herr and Alexander suggested PDH might consider a takeover by a larger hospital. He said PDH would be a great asset and a buyer could be told they'd have to build a new hospital building here.
Coates said giving up local control inevitably means the larger institution only does for the local hospital what benefits the takeover hospital - such as increasing referrals - and that eventually it would close PDH.
In closing statements, Coates reiterated points he'd made during the forum, He added a poignant personal note, however. "I lost my son, Brady, on an ambulance ride," from Brownsville/Halsey in Oregon on the way into Eugene.
Coates said he would have paid any amount of money to have a hospital nearby. "We are better than this, please. Let's save some lives."
Herr had the final word of the evening. "No matter what the outcome of the election, we, the property taxpayers and the supporters of Measure B have already won.
"Why do I say this? If it wasn't for Measure B, the hospital would not have set a cap. Finally, two weeks prior to the election, they did.
"Second, if there was not the public outcry and we had not suggested the USDA loan option, the hospital was intending to lock in the remainder of the bonds at a 7 percent rate and a cost to the taxpayer of more than $350,000 a year.
"What we really need at this time is a cooling off period. In November, we will have a new hospital board. If the current hospital CEO's contract is not renewed, we will have to search for a new one. He or she will have fresh ideas, and we need to listen.
"We cannot afford to be a community divided. We need to take the time to see if we can unite for a common cause. Measure B will allow time for this to happen. It will provide plenty of money for the bonds already issued. It will put the proposed building on hold and provide the time to investigate any or all of the options we have talked about tonight."

This is the compact night vision monocular that fits in a pocket. No larger than a tape measure, it provides handy night optics for spotting wildlife in either dusk's ambient light or the total darkness of a moonless night. Ideal for pre-dawn hikes, nighttime ambles, or spelunking adventures, the monocular uses active infrared technology to illuminate subjects up to 82' away and, unlike models that use image intensifier tubes that provide grainy green images, this digital model's CCD results in crisp black and white images. With adjustable brightness level and a 19� viewing angle. Includes carry pouch and wristband. Requires three AAA batteries. 2 1/2" L x 2 1/4" W x 3/4" D. (3 1/2 oz.)

See in the dark!

I love these. My other night viewer is large and heavy. This is easy to carry and works so well I will buy another if I lose this one.

Seeing in the Dark is Awesome
By Johnny come lately
from Miami FL
I haven't found anything wrong with this product. I found my contact lenses in the dark. I have been looking for the right eye for three weeks. Then I used my night vision Monocular and was able to see the contact lens. AWESOME!Excellent Device!
Portable, compact & great design
By Gadget Man
from Cayce, SC
Very nice. Compact enough to fit into a cell phone holder on one's belt. If there is a power outage and your flashlight dies, you will be able to see with this. Investigating bumps in the night without using a flashlight is cool per my daughter.

Nice for Close Up

I bought this to take on safari. I don't know if it is going to be powerful enough for that kind of use. Will know more in 3 weeks.
