BY THOMAS MORIARTY The World

COOS BAY — Port officials aren’t saying much about the departure of two key partners in a major coal exporting project. An amendment to the port’s exclusive negotiation agreement for Project Mainstay was signed last week, indicating that both Mitsui & Co. and the Korean Elec- tric Power Corp. have terminated their involvement. Elise Hamner, communications manager for the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, confirmed Saturday that Metropolitan Stevedore Co. of Wilmington, Calif. — doing busi- ness as Metro Ports — remains the port’s sole partner in the project. The amended agreement expires March 31. “We’re in an agreement with Project Mainstay through the end of the month, and then we’ll see where we’re at,” the port’s Chief Commercial Officer Martin Callery said Monday. How the loss of two partners will affect the coal project is unclear. Callery would give no indication of the port’s plans or its Photos by Alysha Beck, The World prospects for finding new part- Scott and Kathleen Peebles swing dance to the music of Stolen Sweets,a band from Portland,during the 24th Annual South Coast Clambake Jazz Festival ners. at the Mill Casino-Hotel on Saturday.Top: Gator Beat musicians Jesse Adams, accordion, and David Scott, saxophone, jam during the festival.

I’m so excited. There’s a baby on the way! I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited for this — years and years and years, ever since the wedding. Not my wedding, silly: Will and Kate’s. I get to call them Will and Kate, even though they don’t know me from Adam, because I’m a reporter. It’d be rude if you did it, but we reporters are almost part of the family — the part of the family they don’t let in the house. And now we’re having a baby! Our baby will be the most wonderful baby in the world. This child’s diapers will smell like roses; its spit-up could be bottled and sold like JIM IM vintage Dom Perignon. MULLEN I’m just so excited,

C M C M Y K A6• The World • Monday, March 11,2013 Y K Life’s money DILBERT rules — rule 4: Anticipate your irregular expenses If I asked you to stop what you’re doing, add up your monthly expenses and deduct the total from your monthly income, I can near- ly predict the result. You’d FRANK AND ERNEST look up with a big smile on your EVERYDAY face. There CHEAPSKATE it is, proof that you spend less than you earn. Your income is greater THE BORN LOSER than Mary your outgo. Hunt You’ve nailed Rule 1 in my book, “7 Money Rules for Life: How to Take Control of Your Financial Future.” At first glance, your list looks reasonably thorough. But it is not complete. The mystery for many people is if their spending is ZITS so much lower than their income, why can’t they get through an entire month without using credit to cover unexpected expenses, like medicine for a sick child, a semi-annual insurance pre- mium or a family birthday party? Most people, without actually thinking things through, assume their nec- essary expenses are those CLASSIC PEANUTS they pay every month. But not all necessary expenses recur as systemati- cally as the rent, grocery bills THE FAMILY CIRCUS and car payments. And that is why Rule 4 in my book is: Anticipate Irregular Expenses, Then Prepare Accordingly. Monthly expenses we pay for every month are general- ly not the problem. Somehow the rent and utili- FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE ties get paid and the family gets fed. The problem is irregular expenses. The purpose of Rule 4 is to plan ahead for irregular and even unexpect- ed expenses in the same way you anticipate the expenses that you are keenly aware of each month. But if these expenses are irregular or intermittent, how — you ask — can you anticipate them? The way to ROSE IS ROSE do that is by looking at the past year. And what better time to do that than now, while you’re reliving 2012 in preparation for tax time? Your credit card statements and check registers will help jog your memory of car repairs, insurance policies, summer camp, seasonal sports and property taxes, to name just a few. The next step is determin- LUANN ing how much you’ll need to save to fund these expenses throughout the year. As part of the debt-proof living plan, I created a budg- eting tool that works on the same principle as a Christmas Club Account. I call it the Freedom Account. Once you determine how much you will need for your yearly irregular expenses, you divide that number by GRIZZWELLS 12. Each month one-twelfth of that total gets deposited into your Freedom Account. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard from who tell me the Freedom Account has truly brought freedom to their financial situation. Instead of being surprised by things such as car repairs and Christmas, they’re prepared, funded and ready to go. And all because they’re smart enough to plan ahead by sav- ing just a little bit every month.
