You have either heard that lowering you salt/sodium intake is healthier for you or your doctor has told you that you need to follow a low sodium diet. How do you do this and survive? It depends, especially on how far you should lower your intake. First for perspective, one teaspoon of salt has about 2500 milligrams (mg), or 2.5 grams, of sodium.

Many doctors will recommend what is known as a “No Added S...
In 2010, the principle water purveyors in the Greater Tehachapi area completed a Regional Urban Water Management Plan. In it, the Tehachapi-Cummings County Water District as Watermaster, the city of Tehachapi and the Golden Hills, Stallion Springs and Bear Valley community services districts mapped out a long-term plan for water management and conservation. The State Water Project's Jan. 31 declaration of a zero allocation for all its customers was not on the radar when that report was written....
Former United States District Judge Oliver W. Wanger told a Feb. 13 audience at the Tulare Ag Expo that Congress has given non-human species priority over humans, and the way to win the "water wars" is to elect legislators who will change the law.

Industrial vendors may write their entire year's contracts at the expo, which is the world's largest annual agricultural exposition (there's a larger one in Europe that is held every two years). The agricultural machines cost in the hundreds of thousands of dol...

I have heard that many people in my life either trying to conceive or announcing pregnancy. This time in a family’s life is so exciting. Just the single thought of creating, growing, and bringing a new life into this world is truly amazing. As I look back on my four pregnancies, I have fond memories of the first time my husband and I agreed that it was time to try for another baby. All of my pregnancies were very different, but many feelings remain the same: Excitement of opening a new c...

Hello fellow pet lovers. I'm the Pet Nanny, and it's time to share a true rags to riches "tail". I received a call from a dear client one afternoon requesting my service.

Her own fur family consists of a medium size black and white female dog named Maddie; a small white dog called Phyllis - if anyone recalls Phyllis Diller's hair, they could be twins!- and a...
