M&M Fish & Chips is looking forward to our Fifth Anniversary on Feb. 3. We knew it wasn't going to be easy or that we would get rich quick. We had a pretty bad opening, but through the years we learned a lot (and still have a lot to learn). We changed fish three times and this last time people seem to like it much better as it's thicker and a better quality. We are also doing fried chicken now, you pick your pieces of chicken and the sides you want with it, that way you get what you want and...
“I have a 700 FICO!” You’d think such words would be music to a mortgage advisor’s ears. Maybe, but maybe not. Credit scores are important, but a home loan credit pre-approval is concerned with so much more than just a number. Credit scores were put in place to help predict which consumers would experience a credit default in the coming twenty-four months, by examining their credit usage. Years of data were analyzed to come up with profiles of how consumers behaved right before their credit...
In 2010 Greg Harvey and Victoria Randall purchased their mountain home to be used for vacations and, eventually, retirement. They found the area through a friend of Victoria’s. This last August they both finally retired and made the move from Atascadero, in San Luis Obispo county, and became permanent residents of Bear Valley Springs. They say they are still getting used to retirement and their new location. Greg said that they met while riding the bus to Cal Poly. Victoria is a top notch admini...
The Art Studio will be hosting an event in which local artists and art lovers come together to share in a unique showing of “tasteful” art. On Feb. 14 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. guests will experience gallery art accompanied by a matching food sample for a full art experience. For example, one entry was that of an apple painting accompanied by caramel candies and therefore the viewer enjoyed a “caramel apple”. Other artists may be on the adventurous side and may serve you an oversized foot with a slice of cheese. Fun and creativity is what this sh...
Since the moment of her escape on Christmas morning, several volunteers and friends of Marley's Mutts had scoured the landscape for any signs of Maggie with no luck at all. On the fourth day of Maggie's "pilgrimage", several volunteers met to formulate a plan for her recovery. We split up into teams to cover as much ground as possible. Some hit the original disappearance zone with their dogs. A couple of us hit every agency and local business in town, posting flyers, summoning help from local...

OK, this might be a bit geekier than I sometimes get, but in one of the Star Wars movies (I think it was The Empire Strikes Back) Yoda tells Luke: “Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.” Which may be true when you’re trying to save the galaxy from an evil empire, but in normal everyday life, there can be lots of trying. A person doesn’t have to always succeed or fail, trying in and of itself is an accomplishment. Last year another writer friend started a contest, or maybe a bet, to see whi...
I hope everyone’s holidays were merry and bright. My family’s certainly were. Now it is January, and time to focus on all the hopes and anticipation of a brand new year. It feels good to start fresh, look forward to better times, and yes even setting those lofty New Year’s Resolutions. We are now in the month of January, and probably have already broken a few of those resolutions. On Jan. 1, it’s exciting to set lofty and grand goalsa. As the year progresses, the reality of our lives, our res...
First I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. As with all new years, we tend to make our resolutions to make change for the betterment of our lives (i.e., lose weight, exercise more, etc.). You get the picture. For me, it's always the same, "I'm going to fish more this year than last." Sometimes it works out but more often than not, it's a draw or I end fishing much less than the year before. Winter is now upon us and so our opportunities to fish different...

Have you ever driven down West F Street and noticed the building on the north side of the street at 311 (next to Wood Family Funeral Service)? You may have noticed the name on the building – Mountain Pathways – or perhaps not. The building itself certainly is not an architectural wonder – just a plain building with a name across the front. Your writer has driven by this building more times than she can count and always wondered "what is Mountain Pathways?" Is it a tour guide service offer...
For many retirees and their families, Social Security provides a dependable source of income. In fact, for the majority of retirees, Social Security accounts for at least half of their income (Source: Fast Facts & Figures About Social Security, 2013). However, more of that income is being spent on health-related costs each year, leaving less available for other retirement expenses. The importance of Social Security Social Security is important because it provides a retirement income you can’t o...
As churches and the Pro-Life community around the world celebrate Sanctity of Human Life on Sunday Jan. 19 we are reminded how precious and fragile life is. We are reminded of the powerful impact one decision can make for generations and how hope for better days to come, can move our hearts to serve those in unplanned pregnancies who are scared, and in need of hope for the future. Family Life Pregnancy Centers board, staff, and volunteers strive to fight this battle with mercy, love, and a...

Over the many years that I have been involved in the Chiropractic profession I have noticed a large number of celebrities in the sporting field and entertainment field have utilized the services of chiropractors to keep their bodies in the best shape possible. Jerry Rice, the great wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers has been an avid chiropractic patient since he began his professional football career in San Francisco. Many of the players from that team were patients of a Chiropractic...

I found an extensive article in my mother, Marion Deaver's files, about two sisters who traveled in 1970 to visit their old home, by then located at Tropico Mine and Gold Camp. The two sisters were Viola White Jennings, from San Bernardino, and Marjorie, from Buena Park. When they first looked for their home at Soledad Mountain they thought it had been torn down, but later learned that it was located in Rosamond at the gold camp. Visiting the old home and other old buildings at the camp brought...
One thing which gets all of us sooner or later is nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. It is hard enough to bring up with your doctor, let alone anyone else. Let’s face it: worshiping the porcelain goddess, with either vomiting or diarrhea, loses any appeal quickly and can become very scary. The biggest problems with either malady are the potential for dehydration and what is known as an “electrolyte imbalance.” When everything seems to be going through you without stopping or [is] coming up like a trampoline, certain minerals which were desig...
In its nearly four years as a venue, Fiddlers Crossing has been introducing Tehachapi to a wide variety of acoustic musicians. Some are well-established favorites in blues, Celtic, bluegrass, folk and Americana. Some are bright young stars-to-be. Amber Cross is one of those singers that you'll soon enough be able to tell your friends, "I heard her first at Fiddlers Crossing." Listening to her old-school country songs and honest back porch voice has been likened to putting an archival...
