Kenneth Harney is a nationally-syndicated columnist on real estate for the Washington Post Writers Group. Here’s his March 29 post about credit scores. When is your “credit score” irrelevant in buying a house or refinancing a home loan? A new federal legal settlement with a major credit bureau has the answer: The only score that matters is the one your lender uses to evaluate you, not some random score you got on a website. All the others you might buy or see — there are dozens of them hawked...
I had my first colonoscopy in 2001, I was 53 years old and my doctor thought it was a good idea. A colonoscopy is a routine, preventative procedure that involves a tube with a camera being slid up the rectum so the doctor can get a good look at innards like the colon. But while it does sound gruesome, it can also be a lifesaver (discovering colon cancer early makes it treatable) and the magic age of 50 is the point at which everyone should get checked. I didn’t know anything about c...

If you’re like most Americans you’ve just passed two milestones this year, Tax Freedom Day, which is recognized on April 12, and Income Tax Filing Day, which is usually recognized as April 15 but for 2017 was Tuesday, April 18. Tax Freedom Day is the day of the year when the country as a whole has earned enough income to pay its taxes for the year. No explanation is needed for Tax Filing Day! The average American pays approximately 20% of their income towards their federal income taxes. To som...
Will and Kami Dennis lived in Bakersfield for five years but wanted to move their family to more open spaces. They looked for more than two years. Will said that he wanted to go back to Wyoming where he was born but Kami had relatives in Bakersfield and wanted to stay close by. They found that there were wide open spaces, natural surroundings and four seasons available right here in Tehachapi and that would be a good solution for everyone. They finally found exactly what they needed, 53 acres...

Like a surprise visit from your least favorite relative, aging can bring more than you’d bargained for: a few more wrinkles, a little less stamina, floppy arms, baggy kneecaps….Sound familiar? Worse, though, are the big health changes that may accompany aging. Many of these you can’t even see. Here are some tips to point you in a healthier direction. Where’s the fat? As it turns out, not all fat is created equal. Where you carry your fat can make a big difference, especially as you age. A recen...

You can't cure acne but you can have clear skin if you know what you are doing. There are a few key concepts that you need to know to get your skin clear and get rid of acne. 1. You need to use the right acne products for your type of acne. A product that is good for inflamed acne (pimples, pustules and cysts) will not be good for non-inflamed acne (blackheads and whiteheads). 2. You need these products to be strong enough for your type of skin. If they are not, your skin will not change much....
In the bible, Peter states that God "shows no partiality" to one group of people over another (Acts 10:34). God is not partial to Jews over Gentiles or Americans over Somalians. I wonder how God feels about nationalism and other favoritisms... When I read Peter's statement, I think of a slogan used by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Melinda's explanation of it: " 'All lives have equal value' is not just a principle, it's a strategy...if you're not moving toward equality, you're not rea...

The City has approximately 100 decorative light posts on Tehachapi Boulevard, Green Street, "F" Street, Curry, Robinson, and the Mill Street corridor right...
Assemblyman Vince Fong spoke in absentia at the April Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Fong, who was called out of town, phoned in his update on the new California gas tax and other issues in Sacramento. Only in the Assembly for three months, Fong found himself Vice Chair of the Transportation Committee. The gas tax issue was just "pure raw politics" said Fong; a vote being taken only when they were sure they had the votes for passage. The 12 cent a gallon tax, which goes into effect on Nov. 1, wil...
Walmart update At the April 17 City Council meeting, Development Services Director Jay Schlosser presented two Walmart related issues. At their Feb. 21 Council meeting, the Tehachapi City Council voted for Mayor Ed Grimes to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Tehachapi and Walmart for the formation of a Mello-Roos Communities Facilities District. This CFD, financed entirely by Walmart, would ensure that Walmart would pay for landscaping, lighting and any additional police...
Determine your investment time horizon The period of time for which you plan to stay invested in a particular vehicle is referred to as your investment planning time horizon. Generally speaking, the longer your time horizon, the more you can afford to invest more aggressively, in higher-risk investments. This is because the longer you can remain invested, the more time you’ll have to ride out fluctuations in the hope of getting a greater reward in the future. Of course, there is no assurance t...
It's been almost a year since more than 70 motorcycles rumbled into the Tehachapi Love's Travel Stop, escorting an Alaska Airlines truck with a special cart in tow. A crowd of fascinated onlookers, cheering and waving American flags, had lined the sidewalks and parking lot to greet the procession. Veterans, youth groups, and members of the community had come to witness the transfer of a special cart known as Alaska Airlines "Fallen Soldier Cart". The turnout in Tehachapi was reported by one...

Technology advances everyday making yesterday’s methods of doing business obsolete, or is it? Communication is the key to successful relationships in both our personal and business lives. The way we communicate is constantly evolving as technology advances, and so does the way we talk or better said, communicate with each other. We live in a world of text messages, direct messages, personal messages, and video chats when it wasn’t that long ago we actually talked to people face to face. Opi...
