She was trying to be funny when she said it, but hearing this underscores the need for clarity about financing. If you had a million dollars, maybe you wouldn’t need leverage. For the rest of us, the path to owning real estate has to do with making informed decisions about how to borrow money. When you’re considering getting into the market, you should start with a good understanding of your financial health. Can you comfortably afford your current expenses? Is your job stable? Do you have some...
Kathi and Scott Chattin have just settled into their home in Bear Valley. Kathi had been commuting from Lancaster, Calif. daily since June when she began her job as Administrative Assistant for the Bear Valley Springs Association. They had been in Lancaster for a long time. Scott had been there for 12 years and Kathi since 1989 but they knew they needed to make the move.

I just finished a five-mile run during which, by some sweet stroke of serendipity my iPod went dead, leaving me undistracted to ponder the life and influence of Dr. A Richard Grossman. While he was not generally a practicing veterinarian, rather a doctor for humans, Dr. Grossman handled one of the worst dog injury cases Marley's Mutts has ever seen. Not only did he save the lives of two special puppies; he greatly influenced my life as well, and I am a better man for having known him. Phoenix...

provided by Ranch Supply, the original article can be found at: http://www.backyardchickens.com/Edited to fit The Loop newspaper's format. Brooders The chick's first home will be the brooder. For brooder designs and ideas see our chicken brooders section. The size of the brooder will depend on the number of chicks you have. Aim for at least 2.5 sq feet per chick, if possible more is better. The bottom of the brooder should have a layer of clean litter (pine shavings or similar). For very small...

Extensions Whether you file a tax return by the April due date, or obtain an extension to file, filing an annual tax return is mandatory if your income is above a certain level, which will vary depending upon your filing status. There are many reasons to file an extension. You may be waiting for an important document such as a late 1099, or K-1 form showing income which needs to be reported on your tax return, you may be overseas and unable to file by the April deadline, or you may just be a...
Normally I write about articles my mother Marion Deaver wrote about, area history, and things that other people did. Today I am writing about my mother and some of the things she did. I found an article that the Bakersfield Californian wrote about her. The paper was writing articles about various correspondents in honor of National Newspaper Week. My mother had the bad habit of tearing things out of the newspaper and not leaving the top of the page with the date on it, so I am not sure when...
Being an expert simply means that you have a very good understanding of something. Being a wine expert means you have a very good understanding of wine. All of them. Being an expert simply means that you have a very good understanding of something. Being a wine expert means you have a very good understanding of wine. All of them. You've got to be kidding. There are painfully few wine experts out there and Bob the “Wine Guy” certainly isn't one of them... really. I am well versed in a few win...
Last issue I left you with time for a pause. During this pause I learned a bit about the Tehachapi Trail Angels. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail 2000, commonly known as the PCT, is a pathway that leads intrepid backpackers from the border of Mexico to the border of Canada – over 2,500 miles. A few attempt to cover the long distance in one journey. Most, like myself, do what is called "section hiking." (A little bit here and a little bit there.) I have also volunteered as a local "...
A touch of art and whimsy in most everything she does is how best to describe the life of Bear Valley Springs photo artist Leslie Vo Villa. From ink stamping her initials on eggs freshly laid by her hens, watercolor painting, flower gardening, growing vegetables "to become dinner for the deer," and now into the world of photography. An avid artist all her life, The Loop recently visited Leslie in her studio at her hilltop home in the Bear Valley Springs community: Q: "I see you have eggs of...
Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let's face it, your knees aren't as young as you used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn't any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing's worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won't go away! My name is Dr. Brian Martin, Doctor of Chiropractic and owner of Mountain Vi...
We are all presented with ethical/moral questions in our life. The actions or behavior we choose can impact both our life and the life of others. The fundamental question is: as an individual person (including corporations) of our society how should one act? The term deontology comes from the Greek words for duty (deon) and science (or study) of (logos). Deontology deals with what we ought to do (deontic theories). The deontic theory views morality as comprised of duties and rights. Deontologism is a rule based approach that defines moral actio...

Working with a trusted financial professional is one of the best ways to help improve your overall financial situation, but it’s not the only thing you can do. Educating yourself about personal finance concepts can help you better understand your advisor’s recommendations, and result in more productive and potentially more prosperous financial planning discussions.

Kelly Saunders, who many may remember as a former manager of our local Union Bank, has joined Keiffe & Sons Ford as their Fleet Sales Consultant. Kelly is involved in the Tehachapi branch of the Rotary Club and was a co-founder of Rotaract – the young adult version of Rotary. As a lover of music, he has also donated his time, talents and use of his sound equipment to several local events at no charge to non-profit organizations in order to make their events even better. He is not a stranger to the automobile industry, it’s a job he really enj...
This column is about aerospace happenings in and around Tehachapi. I'm going to stretch that definition and tell you about a marvelous trip to Tucson, Ariz. If you don't mind driving ten hours at a stretch, you can get there in a day. I chose to go by train: Metrolink from Lancaster to Union Station, and Amtrak will get you there at dawn. The 24/7 party at the Congress Hotel across from the train station will probably still be going strong. (Complementary earplugs are available for hotel...
This is one of those winters where I am really grateful I live in California. We had snow in December, and – while more would be welcome – our snowplows remain parked. We pray for any drop of moisture we can get, but I am really enjoying the sunny days. I admit I am a weather wuss. I complain about the cold when temperatures are in the teens and can’t imagine what my friends in other parts of the country must endure with temperatures below the zero mark for days. That’s not even includi...

Meowy greetings! I'm The Pet Nanny, and it's my pleasure to share the story of two of my kitty clients - Moe and Bowie. I remember the day I met them. I lightly knocked on the door, and I was met by their fur mom. I would also like to mention a very special family member Dixie, a gorgeous Bloodhound, who greeted me nose to chest at the front door. I glanced across the room to see two long haired black kitties. Moe, the male (and older of the two), came cautiously out to see who I was, then...
