Cover Story

‘From Rat Pack to Rock & Roll,’ a Valentine’s Day show at Pacino’s

Since Pacino’s Spaghetti Fac-tory opened at 1100 W.Tehachapi Blvd., Tehachapi hasenjoyed the food — and theentertainment — with actsranging from Meatballs comedyto murder mystery dinner the-atre and tribute acts of all kinds.

Many look forward to holidaysand special events with ownerFrank Spacarelli going all out tobring something new and fresh toeach season.

For Valentine’s Day, a specialdinner show has been arrangedand even if you’ve seen SteveWaddington as Dean Martin atPacino’s in the past, you shouldknow that he has something newto offer for his Feb. 14 appearanceat Pacino’s.

“From Rat Pack to Rock & Roll”will be different from the Rat Packand Martin and Lewis shows he’sbrought to Pacino’s in the past,Waddington said.

His earlier “track shows” havefeatured performers singing liveover pre-recorded musical back-ing in lieu of a band, the entertain-er said.

But the Valentine’s Day show atPacino’s will be all new.

“This time we are doing some-thing different,” he said. “I ambringing a live band and we arecovering a wider range of styles…what we call “From Rat Pack toRock & Roll.”

For the younger crowd who maynot be familiar with the “RatPack,” the term was used in the1950s and early 1960s to refer to agroup of entertainers who oftenappeared together on stage and infilms. Humphrey Bogart, FrankSinatra, Dean Martin, SammyDavis Jr., Peter Lawford and JoeyBishop were among the entertain-ers of the time who gained recog-nition as the “Rat Pack.”

The music of the era was a prel-ude to Rock & Roll, hence the sug-gestion that the Valentine’s Dayshow at Pacino’s will cover tunesof the earlier time as well as Rock& Roll.

Waddington will perform withhis band and he said the recentaddition of vocalist/ guitarist/femme fatale Susan Ritter allowsthe musicians to expand into newterritory,” bringing the audiencesongs reminiscent of Linda Rond-stat, Bonnie Raitt, Ann-Margret,Cher and Grace Slick.

“And we’ll have a few fun,romantic duets and a whole lotmore,” he said.

Waddington said he has been a“tribute artist” for longer thanthat term has been around.

“I was one of the first Elvis andearly Rock & Roll tribute artists,”

he said. “Being a singer/guitaristwith a knack for mimicking othersvoices and styles gave me anadvantage of being able to cover alot of ground musically. Elvis,Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, BuddyHolly, the Big Bopper, EddieCochran, Johnny Rivers… andcomedic, tongue-in-cheek send-ups of “singer-songwriters” BobDylan, Donovan, Gordon Lightfoot,Lou Reed and others.”

In later years, he said, he startedpresenting the music and stylingof Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nat“King” Cole, Bobby Darin, TonyBennett... the whole Rat Pack era.”

He said he has long wanted tobring the repertoire together intoone show as he will at Pacino’s onFeb. 14.

“Combining all of this into oneshow has been something I’vewanted to do for a long time, but Ididn’t want to go the route of ‘aman of a thousand voices’ (alaDanny Ganz and the whole fast-paced Vegas thing),” he said,“because I wanted to presentit more authentically, more organ-ically, and have more fun with it.And to leave some room for a littleimprov and audience participa-tion!”

And, with the recent addition offemale vocalist/guitarist/femmefatale Susan Ritter, we are able toexpand into new territory... LindaRondstat, Bonnie Raitt, Ann-Mar-gret, Cher, Grace Slick, a few fun,romantic duets and a whole lotmore.

The evening’s program will starWaddington and Ritter with musi-cal director/keyboardist DavidMoscoe, bassist Bill Markus anddrummer Gary Gibbons.

As for the folks at Pacino’s,they’re looking forward to hostinga fun, romantic evening — and toa year of entertainment that willinclude the Tehachapi Idols com-petition.

Reservations are required forthe Valentine’s Day dinner andshow ($49.95 per person). Call822-9400.

Steve Waddington, tribute artist, will be bringing his show, “From Rat Pack toRock & Roll,” to Pacino’s Spaghetti Factory, on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14.

In her article, McCallion shares what shelearned when visiting the oldest botanical gar-den in America that was established in 1728. Itwas the place where some of the AmericanFounding Fathers like Franklin, Washington, andJefferson bought seeds and plants for their owngardens. The friendships and historical connec-tions of these men to the Bartram family areexplored for the benefit of gardeners, andAmerican history enthusiasts.

This is the third article by McCallion that hasbeen published in the magazine, which is theNational Journal of the Herb Society of America.The magazine is available in Tehachapi at Booksand Crannies.

Ask the Doctor

Shingles pain lingers after rash is goneDEAR DR. DONOHUE:

Two years ago I had shin-gles, and I now suffer theaftereffects of it. Thesores went away in amonth, but the stinging,burning, throbbing painis still with me. I cannotwear clothing over theaffected shoulder. Nomedicines have easedthe pain so far. Is thereany help? -- M.L.

ANSWER: You now aredealing with postherpet-ic neuralgia, pain thatlingers long after theshingles rash has gone.The virus that causesshingles is the samevirus that causes chick-enpox. Almost everyadult on this continentharbors that virus, nowcalled herpes zoster. Itlives on in nerve cells.

From time to time, atolder ages, it wakensfrom its hibernation,travels down the nerveto the skin and causes anoutbreak of blisters on ared base. The outbreakgoes away in about threeweeks. Pain can lingerfor a long time --months, to years. In trav-eling down the nerve,

the virus damaged it. I can list some of the

posther-petic neu-ralgiamedi-cines.Two areantide-pressants-- nor-

triptyline and amitripty-line -- given not fordepression but for painrelief. Cymbalta (duloxe-tine) is another antide-pressant that can lessenpostherpetic pain. Lyrica(pregabalin) is an anti-seizure medicine that'sapproved for this prob-lem. Neurontin(gabapentin) is anotherseizure medicine usedfor control of the linger-ing pain of shingles.

Capsaicin lotion,cream or gel (Zostrix,Capsin, R-Gel) is applieddirectly to the involvedskin. A higher concentra-tion of capsaicin comesas a patch that's appliedin the doctor's office, lefton for an hour and thenremoved. Treatment canbe repeated in threemonths. It's called

Qutenza. Another skinpatch is the Lidodermpatch. The latest medi-cine is Gralise, anextended-release formof gabapentin -- Neuron-tin. It requires fewerdoses.

The entire shinglesstory is covered in thebooklet on that topic.Readers can obtain acopy by writing: Dr.Donohue -- No. 1201W,Box 536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order(no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6 Canada with therecipient's printed nameand address. Pleaseallow four weeks fordelivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Iget my calcium by drink-ing milk. I believe naturalsources are the bestsources of vitamins andminerals. The problem isthat whole milk raisesmy cholesterol. Myfather died of a heartattack at a young age.Does skim milk have asmuch calcium as wholemilk? -- R.T.

ANSWER: Skim milkcontains a little more

calcium than whole milk.An 8-ounce glass ofwhole milk has 291 mg ofcalcium. The sameamount of skim milk has300 mg.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:Many months ago, myfeet turned numb. Thenumbness has spread upto my knees. It has mademe quite unsteady whenI walk. My doctor can'tfind a cause or treatmentfor this. Can you suggestanything? -- L.O.

ANSWER: Yourdescription fits peripher-al neuropathy, a deterio-ration of nerve function,often of the leg nerves.The causes for it aremany. Frequently, how-ever, a precise causecan't be determined. Youneed to make anappointment to see aneurologist as soon asyou can.DR. DONOHUE regrets that he isunable to answer individual let-ters, but he will incorporate themin his column whenever possible.Readers may write him or requestan order form of available healthnewsletters at P.O. Box 536475,Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Peak of flu season is nowvaries from year to yearand is unpredictable, Cal-ifornia generally sees anincrease in cases in lateDecember or early Janu-ary and it often peaks inFebruary or March.According to CDPH sur-veillance indicators,influenza activity in Cali-fornia is beginning toshow a steady increase.

“The best defenseagainst the flu is gettingvaccinated. This year’svaccine is an excellentmatch against this year’sinfluenza strains,” Dr.Chapman says. “There isno shortage of vaccine inCalifornia and it is not too

late to get vaccinated.Our flu season may notpeak for several moreweeks, so I encourageeveryone to get vaccinat-ed to protect not onlythemselves, but thosewith whom they comeinto contact.”

Dr. Chapman alsonotes that in addition togetting vaccinated, it’simportant to practicegood hand washing andother good health habits.People who are ill shouldtake actions to stop thespread of germs such as:

• While sick, limit con-tact with others

• Cover your nose andmouth when coughing or

sneezing• Wash hands thor-

oughly with soap andwater or use an alcohol-based rub

• Avoid touching youreyes, nose and mouth

Those at highest risk -the elderly, pregnantwomen, infants, or thosewith other health condi-tions - who show flusymptoms should con-tact their physicianimmediately in order toget the most effectivetreatment. Symptomsinclude fever, cough, sorethroat, runny or stuffynose, muscle or bodyaches, headaches andfatigue.

JourneyMinter Field; dedicated to preserving the golden years of flight

If you like war birds thanMinter Air Field is a great littleplace to go. Not too many peo-ple, easy to get in and out of,and surrounded by rich avia-tion history.

The tiny airfield just east afew miles east of Shafterbegan operations in June of1941 and by the end of theWorld War II in 1945 it hadserved in training 11,0000 USArmy Air Corps cadets, beforeshortly thereafter beingturned over to the County ofKern, which managed the air-port until 1985.

Today the 1,206-acre site isoperated by Minter Field Air-port District — a private groupof local avaiation enthusiasts,dedicated to preserving thegolden years of flight.

The main attraction for visi-tors is the airfield’s museum,which is inside the ground’soriginal fire station built in

1941. The building remains asone of the few original struc-tures and houses numerousaviation and WWII artifacts,including photographs, uni-forms, aviation headgear,radio gear, model planes and

many pieces of aviation art. There are also several

maticulously resotored mili-tary aircraft and utility vehi-cles that includes an AeroncaL3B "Grasshopper", Vultee BT-13 Valiant, Fokker DR.1 Tri-

plane —as flown by the RedBaron — a 1928 home builtPietenpol Sky Camper, LinkTrainer, 1945 Minter Field firetruck, 1940’s era Plymouthstaff car, military jeeps and aGerman railroad cannon.

After touring the museumguests can visit the on-site giftshop and grab a bite to eat atthe Brookside Café where youcan enjoy a great sandwichwith rare front-row view of air-planes landing or taking off.

Minter Field is a hub for vin-tage aircraft restoration withseveral shops scattered aboutthat specialize in rebuildingWWII aircraft. Just pop into afew, as most of the skilledcraftsmen are willing to giveyou a private tour of the fasci-nating work they are doing.

Minter Air Museum is locat-ed less than one hour fromTehachapi. To get there takeHighway 58 west to Highway99, head north from Bakersfieldabout 12 miles and exit at LerdoHighway. Then go approximate-ly one mile west. The museumis open on Saturdays from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission andparking are free.

Q&As from theCalifornia Dept.of Fish & Wildlife

BY CARRIE WILSONCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Question: What aresome of the new stur-geon fishing regulationchanges that went intoeffect Jan. 1? I’ve heardmeasurement methods,size limits and methodsof take are a few ofthem. What’s new?(Anonymous)

Answer: Sturgeonmust now be measuredby fork length, thestraight-line distancefrom the tip of the headto the center of the tail.Tip of the head shall bethe most anterior pointon the fish with themouth closed and thefish lying flat on its side(California Code of Regu-lations, Title 14, Sections1.62, 5.80, and 27.90).Now no fish less than 40inches fork length orgreater than 60 inchesfork length may be takenor possessed (CCR, Title14, Sections 5.80 and27.90).

For methods of take,only one single barblesshook may be used on aline when taking stur-

geon. Use of a snare toassist in landing or killingany sturgeon is prohibit-

ed. Asnare is aflexibleloop madefrom anymaterialthat can

be tightened like a noosearound any part of thefish (CCR, Title 14, Sec-tions 5.80 and 27.90).

For more informationabout the life history ofwhite and green stur-geon, please go towww.dfg.ca.gov/fish/Resources/Sturgeon/.

To learn more aboutthe new sturgeon regula-tions, please go tohttps://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?Docu-mentID=58288.

Night drivingwith flashlights

Question: My wifeand I are outdoors loversand we don't want tobreak the law. We oftendrive back roads or dirtroads in and aroundButte County armed withonly a flashlight and noweapons to view andenjoy wildlife thatwouldn't be possible toenjoy in the daylight. Isthis legal? (Dan, Oroville)

Answer: Yes, as longas you do not have amethod of take with you.You may, however,attract the attention ofwildlife officers that areon the lookout for poach-ers using spotlights tofind game. These offi-cers may pull you overand detain you to inspectyour vehicle to ensureyou do not have amethod of take. Thereare also some vehiclecode provisions that pro-hibit the use of a flash-light or headlight on apublic highway if it isshone into oncomingtraffic or prevents othervehicles from seeingtraffic control devices.

How far awayfrom highwaysand parking lotsmust I be toshoot?

Question: I hunt theNapa-Sonoma Marshregularly and havenoticed that there aremany birds that hang outjust outside one of theparking lots off of thehighway. My question ishow far do I have to beoff the highway in orderto legally discharge afirearm in pursuit of

these birds? (James)Answer: Firearms set-

backs from highways orpublic roadways are gen-erally established bylocal governments. Youwill need to check withthe local jurisdiction,which is usually theSheriff’s Department,regarding distance awayfrom a public roadway.Keep in mind that youcan’t shoot across anyroads and you are notallowed to shoot within150 yards of any buildingor structure without theconsent of the owner(Fish and Game Code,section 3004(a) and(b)).

Acquiring fishfor a 200 gallonaquarium

Question: I dive andwant to collect variousmarine species to placein a 200 gallon tank atthe Boys and Girls Clubbuilding in Lompoc. Thiswould be for educationalpurposes for the chil-dren’s after school pro-grams. The fish andinvertebrates would besupplied by local diversand fishermen and theywould not be undersized.Most species would bereleased after a brief

amount of time. Whatwould the permit fee be?How difficult would it beto obtain? These specieswould not be for sale.(Rick)

Answer: Fish andGame regulations pro-hibit transporting livefinfish from the waterwhere taken, includingthe ocean. Shellfish aregenerally not covered bythis regulation. However,returning or placing anylive fish (including shell-fish) into state waters(stocking) is illegal,especially if the fish isone that has been kept ina private aquarium. Thisprohibition does not pro-hibit catch-and-releasefishing or the immediatereturn of undersize fishto the water.

One option, as long asthis is truly for educa-tional purposes, you mayapply for a scientific col-lecting permit to beauthorized to collectspecific species yourself.Go towww.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/research_permit/ to learn more andsee if you qualify.

Otherwise, Fish andWildlife law does providefor individuals who arelicensed to collect live

fish for the marineaquaria trade to take andsell certain species ofmarine organisms. Thisactivity requires you tohave a commercial fish-ing license, and if youuse a boat it has to beregistered. The total costfor this is approximately$1,000 per year. Infor-mation regarding thevarious license and feesis available online atwww.dfg.ca.gov/licens-ing/commercial/com-mdescrip.html.

One more option youmay find practical is topurchase fish from a petstore that has obtainedfish from a licensedMarine Aquaria Collector.The California Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife(CDFW) does not main-tain a master list of suchstores, but an onlinesearch or review of thephone book might helpyou find what you arelooking for to place in theBoys and Girls Club tank.

CARRIE WILSON is a marine envi-ronmental scientist with the Cali-fornia Department of Fish andWildlife. While she cannot person-ally answer everyone’s questions,she will select a few to answereach week in this column. Pleasecontact her [email protected].

HapiWhen Hapi was still in its planning stages, I thought it would be a shoe store. Then

one day, lounging around the Bear Valley pool, I noticed how many kids there are inTehachapi and how there is no place for them. Busy parents don't have time for trips toBakersfield and Kmart doesn't suit everyone. I stumbled upon the building at "TheStockyard," which contains two rooms, so my idea changed (again!) to not only a chil-dren's store, but teens, too. Soon, Hapi was born. I've been open for almost 2-1/2months now and I'm still changing my mind! I'm finding in-demand areas (Girl's size 2-10) and less in-demand (teen). So, I'm starting to focus more on clothing for newbornto size 10 (both boy and girl). I will still offer skateboards and parts and hopefullyexpand to scooter and BMX parts too.

My absolute favorite part of owning Hapi is my weekly models. Every week local kidscome into the store, have their picture taken in one of our adorable outfits, and I post itto Facebook. However many "likes" their picture receives determines their discount inthe shop. It has been SO much fun taking the pictures and meeting the "Future Modelsof Tehachapi." I encourage everyone to come in and talk to me if their child is interest-ed, or send a message facebook.com/hapi.ness2012. I cannot believe all of the supportI have received thus far, and am truly thankful for all of my wonderful customers!

(Family Features)Maybe it's the single serve proportions, perfect cake-

to-icing ratio or approachability of this iconic treat, butAmerica's love affair with cupcakes is holding strong.These tasty treats can be adapted to any occasion, andwhether it's a favorite holiday, birthday bash, girl's nightout or just because, the color, sweetness and fun of cup-cakes makes people smile.

Think of cupcakes as a blank canvas easily person-alized with the right tools. For example, Wilton hasproducts to make it easy for bakers and decorators ofall skill levels to make their cupcakes amazing, nomatter the occasion. Wilton's new book, "Cupcakes!"is available at your nearest craft store andwww.wilton.com, and showcases unique tips, tech-niques and products for swirling your way into cup-cake greatness.

• Play Dress Up. Add personality with playful bak-ing cups - from vibrant stripes to pretty polka dots tofestive flowers. Top off your favorite cupcakes withcookie decorations; try a Shamrock for St. Patrick'sDay or an apple for an unexpected teacher's gift onthe first day of school.

• Entice with Icing. Play with icing color to addvisual interest - think icy blue for a wintry treat orpale yellow for autumn. Sprinkles are an easy way tomake icing sparkle. Sugar gems create an eye-catch-ing crystal effect, and seasonal toppings add an extraspecial touch.

• It's Hip to be Square. Round out your cupcakerepertoire with Wilton's Square Cupcake Pan andbaking cups; the square shape is a fresh take oneveryone's favorite treat.

Colorful Cupcake TrioEach cupcake serves 1You'll Need:

• Pink Wave, Black and White Doily Kit or Warm Stripes Square Baking Cups

• Favorite cupcake recipe or mix• Ready-to-use White Decorator Icing• Rose Icing Color (Ombre Cupcakes)• Pink Sugar Gems (Sugar Striped Square Cupcakes)• Lemon Yellow Icing Color (Zebra Lace Cupcakes)• Zebra Icing Decoration (Zebra Lace Cupcakes)

Preheat oven to 350F. Place wave or solid blackbaking cup in standard muffin pan; place square bak-ing cup in square cupcake pan.

Prepare cupcake batter per package or recipeinstructions. Pour cupcake batter into prepared pan.Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick comes outclean when inserted in center of cupcake. Removepan to cooling grid; let stand 10 minutes. Removecupcakes from pan; cool completely.

Rose Ombre Cupcakes Divide icing, and tint six shades of rose from dark

to very light. On top of cooled cupcake, using a tip 12and the darkest rose icing, pipe large dot in center;add ring around dot at edge of cupcake. Switch to aslightly lighter shade of rose icing and, with tip 12,add another large dot to center top of cupcake, makea second ring around the inside edge of the first ring.Continue piping next three shades of lighter roseicings with tip 12 and create smaller rings of icing onthe inside edge of the previous ring. Once at the cen-ter using the lightest shade of rose icing, pipe onelast ring around top with tip 12, adding a swirl.

Sugar Striped Square CupcakesUsing white icing and tip 12, cover top of cooled

cupcake with large zigzag. Top with Pink SugarGems.

Zebra Lace CupcakesTint icing yellow. Add tip 12 swirl to top of cooled

cupcake. Add Zebra Icing Decoration.

Swirl Like a Pro To prepare, start with cupcakes that have been

baked according to package directions, in the bakingcup of your choice, and fully cooled. Place a couplerand a large round tip (like a 12 or 2A) on your Wiltondecorating bag; fill with the icing of your choice.

1. Hold the decorating tip approximately 1/4 inchabove the cupcake at a 90 degree angle to the cup-cake. Starting at the center, pipe a large dot of icingonto cupcake top.

2. Pull the dot of icing to the outer edge of cupcakeand begin piping a spiral of icing around the cupcaketop, working inward and upward.

3. Once at the center, stop pressure and pull tipaway. It's as easy as that.

The latest candy and chocolate trendsTo the enjoyment of tastebuds

around the country, each year morethan 2,500 new candy and chocolateinnovations, tastes and flavor cre-ations hit store shelves. According tothe National Confectioners Association(NCA), steady innovation and upwardsales trends for the confectioneryindustry prove that despite a soureconomy, candy is sweet.

"Candy and chocolate are affordableluxuries that deliver sweet rewards,"said Susan Whiteside, vice president ofcommunications for the National Con-fectioners Association. "This yearwe're seeing candy manufacturersoffer reinventions of classic favorites,embrace gourmet trends and createexciting and unexpected new flavorcombinations that show the originalityand creativeness of the industry yearafter year."

Expect to see everything from inter-national influences to super-sour andfruit-filled flavor creations new thisyear. Some of the leading new producttrends include:

• Super Fruits and Exotic Origins.New confections and snacks crossinternational lines and tantalize tastebuds with super fruit essences andexotic influences. Jelly Belly introducestwo new super fruit flavors, BarbadosCherry and Acai (Ah-sigh-EE) Berry, anexotic Amazon rainforest fruit, in theirnew Superfruit Mix. New from Nestle,

Cranberry Raisinets offers antioxidant-rich dried cranberries coated insmooth milk chocolate.

• Chocolate Indulgence. New choco-late offers are indulgent, but at pricesthat won't break the bank. Try Ghi-rardelli's new LUXE MILK premium milkchocolate line. Or unwrap ChuaoChocolatier's new Chinita Nibs Choco-Pod for a decadent flavor pairing ofcaramelized nibs and nutmeg inside adark chocolate shell.

• Super Sour and Flavor-Full. Innova-tive super sour flavors and tangy fill-ings are daring consumers to puckerup with new tastes like Cadbury's SourPatch Chillerz, a soft and chewy SourPatch candy creation with a surge ofcool. Or for an intense sour taste,American Licorice Company's ChewyExtinguisher packs a punch with threedifferent layers of sour flavor wrappedaround a sweet center inside.

Common misconceptionsabout cats debunked

There are some things that every-body knows about cats, such as theypurr when they're happy. But youmight be surprised to learn that manyof the "facts" you know about cats areactually untrue. For example, whilecats often purr when they're happy,they may also purr when they're anx-ious or uncomfortable.

Do you know fact from fiction aboutyour cat? Here are a few common catmyths debunked:

Myth 1: Cats should drink cow'smilk. Cats do not need to drink milk. Infact, cats typically lose the ability todrink milk after they're weaned, sofeeding them milk can give them diar-rhea.

Myth 2: Cats should eat fish. It'sperfectly fine to give Fluffy fish everyonce in awhile, but it's far from kitty'sideal food. Cats need an amino acidcalled taurine in their diet, and fish donot provide it. Fish, as a regular part ofthe diet, could make your cat sick.

Myth 3: It is natural for cats tohave bad breath. If kitty's "morningbreath" makes you want to heave, it's asign that your cat has an oral healthproblem and should see a veterinarian.You can prevent dental problems bybrushing your cat's teeth. If your cat is

uncooperative, try adding oral careprobiotics, like Teddy's Pride Oral Care(www.MyTeddysPride.com) to its food.Teddy's Pride Oral Care has beendesigned specifically for the oral careneeds of dogs and cats. The probioticsflood pets' mouths with good bacteria,so harmful bacteria are less able togrow. These probiotics can be used inaddition to brushing or as a stand-alone oral care routine.

Myth 4: Cats always land on theirfeet. Cats are agile creatures with theability to twist in mid-air, but if they'refalling from a short height, they won'thave time to put themselves feet-first.A fall from a great height could kill orseriously injure a cat, whether it landson its feet or not.

Myth 5: Cats gain weight if theyare spayed or neutered. Cats' metab-olisms do change after they are fixed,but weight gain can be easily avoidedby simply decreasing the amount offood that you feed them. Spaying orneutering is one of the the best thingsyou can do for your cat, as it reducesthe risk of some types of cancer andhelps your cat avoid contributing tothe pet overpopulation problem.SOURCE:NEWSUSA

Practical Money Management

Avoiding tax refundidentity fraud

BY JASON ALDERMANCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Many people file their income taxreturns as early in the year as possible.Some are eager to claim their taxrefund the right away, while others aresimply following their New Year's reso-lution not to procrastinate until mid-night, April 15.

Let me add another good reason tofile your taxes right away: tax refundidentity fraud.

That's where someone uses yourSocial Security number (SSN), birthdate and other private information tofile a fraudulent income tax return inyour name and then pockets the result-ing tax refund. Often, a victim's firstclue is a letter from the IRS contestingtheir legitimate tax return, saying onehas already been processed under thatname. It can take months – andmounds of paperwork – to unravel themess.

This scam has proliferated in recentyears thanks to a confluence of events:

• There's a thriving black market inpersonal information stolen fromhealthcare facilities, nursing homes,schools, insurance companies andother institutions that require an SSNas identification.

• The IRS is pressured to begin issu-ing refunds shortly after taxpayersstart filing returns in mid-January, eventhough employers and financial insti-tutions aren't required to submit with-holding and income documentationuntil the end of March. Thus, dispari-ties often aren't caught until monthslater.

• The growing popularity of electron-ic filing, where hard-copy documenta-tion (like W-2 and 1099 forms) isn'trequired.

• Many people receive refunds viadirect deposit and prepaid debit cards.Criminals open and close accountsusing bogus addresses long before thetheft has been detected.

Thanks to severe budget cuts andchronic understaffing – not to mentionconstantly playing whack-a-mole withthieves who dream up new schemes –

the IRS is hard-pressed to keep up. Inone extreme example, the agencyissued more than $3.3 million inrefunds for 2,137 tax returns filed to asingle address.

But all is not lost. The IRS has signifi-cantly beefed up its fraud-preventionefforts. In 2011, they intercepted nearly262,000 fraudulent tax returns seek-ing almost $1.5 billion in refunds relat-ed to identity theft. And they nowissue special personal identificationnumbers (PINs) to impacted taxpayersto protect their future tax filings.

So what should you do if you've beenvictimized? Typically, the IRS will sendyou a notice that:

• More than one tax return for youwas filed;

• You have a balance due, refund off-set or have had collection actionstaken against you for a year in whichyou didn't file a return; or

• IRS records indicate you receivedwages from an employer you don't rec-ognize. This could indicate that some-one has used your personal informa-tion to get a job.

If you receive such a notice, don'tignore it. Complete an Identity TheftAffidavit (IRS Form 14039 atwww.irs.gov) and return it with a copyof the notice to the address providedon the notice. If you did not receive anotice but believe you may be at risk,the form contains separate submissioninstructions.

The IRS's Identity Theft Protectionwebsite (www.irs.gov/uac/Identity-Protection) includes tons of helpfulinformation, including ways to tellwhether your identity may have beenstolen, how to report a breach and tipsto avoid identity theft.

And finally, file your tax return asearly as possible to beat potentialscammers to the punch. If you owemoney, you can always file your returnnow and mail the payment by the April15 deadline.

A merger process thatbegan more than sixmonths ago has now con-cluded, strengthening twolocal community banksand providing customersin Bakersfield, the SanJoaquin Valley and the out-lying communities of KernCounty and the HighDesert with expanded andmore convenient financialservices.Bakersfield-based MissionBancorp (OTCBB:MSBC),the parent holding compa-ny for Mission Bank,announced today the com-pletion of the merger withMojave-based MojaveDesert Bank, N.A.(MOJA:OTC US).Mojave Desert Bankbranches in Mojave, Ridge-crest, Lancaster andHelendale will now operateas Mission Bank businessbanking centers. As of Jan.25, the merger has result-ed in Mission Bank havingapproximately $400 mil-lion in assets, $350 millionin total deposits, $183 mil-lion in total loans, 85employees, and a networkof seven banking centers.“We welcome MojaveDesert Bank’s customers,employees and sharehold-ers to Mission Bank’sfinancial family,” said Mis-sion Chief Executive Offi-cer Richard Fanucchi. “Thecombined two banks areuniquely suited to provid-ing the personal attentionthat customers, particular-ly small businesses, havecome to expect from thesetwo institutions.”“The completion of thismerger is an exciting mile-stone. It will provide Mis-sion Bank growth opportu-nities, while benefitingcustomers by improvingefficiency, increasing theavailability of innovativefinancial products, andexpanding the reach ofMission’s premium rela-tionship based bankingservices,” said MissionBank President A.J. Anton-giovanni.In conjunction with themerger, George Nagy, for-mer president and chiefexecutive officer of MojaveDesert Bank, N.A., hasbeen appointed corporate

executive vice president atMission Bank. He hasserved in various manage-ment banking positions inLancaster for over 25years, the last seven atMojave Desert Bank.“Our customers will bene-fit from gaining access to awide range of productsand services, while contin-uing to receive the samehigh quality of service theyhave come to expect,” saidNagy. “I look forward toworking at Mission Bankand the opportunity togrow the customer base ofour current business bank-ing centers.”Earlier in 2012, the FindleyReports, a highly regardedindustry organization thatmonitors California-basedbanks, called the merger awin-win for both Missionand Mojave.“This transaction expandsMission’s focus into theeastern Kern County andHigh Desert marketplace,”Findley noted, adding thatMojave “was in need ofraising capital if it wasgoing to remain independ-ent. Therefore, joiningforces with Missionbecomes a good opportu-nity for the shareholders,and at the same time, pro-vides additional productsand services for the cus-tomers of Mojave.”Under the terms of theagreement, Mission willpay approximately$7,190,000 for MojaveDesert Bank, N.A. commonstock. The consideration iscomprised of $3,620,000in cash, subject to adjust-ment, and 140,000 sharesof Mission Bancorp com-mon stock, which the par-ties have approximatedthe per share value at$25.50. Mission Bancorp is theparent holding company oftwo wholly owned sub-sidiaries, Mission Bank andMission Bank 1031Exchange, LLC, and a 50%owner of Double W, LLC, anentity that owns commer-cial property including thebank’s Shafter BusinessBanking Center. MissionBancorp is headquarteredin Bakersfield, California.On Jan. 25, Mission Ban-

corp was trading at $24.75and Mojave Desert Bank,N.A. at $14.55.Forward LookingStatementsCertain statements con-tained in this release thatare not statements of his-torical fact constitute for-ward-looking statementsfor which the companiesclaim the protection of thesafe harbor provisionscontained in the PrivateSecurities LitigationReform Act of 1995 (the"Act”), notwithstandingthat such statements arenot specifically identifiedas such.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t get carried awayTie your metallic balloons down

This Valentine’s Day, think of yourloved ones with chocolates, flowersand maybe some jewelry. And if yourgift of choice is a Mylar, or metallicballoon, make sure to tie it down.

That’s because helium-filled metal-lic balloons, often given as gifts dur-ing this special day, can float intopower lines and cause outages thatcould last from a few minutes to

hours at a time. Southern CaliforniaEdison (SCE) asks that customerskeep the balloons inside or keep themtightly secured to a weight heavyenough to prevent them from driftingaway.

“Southern California Edison wantscustomers to enjoy their Valentine’sDay, but would like them to keep inmind that metallic balloons can easilyfloat away into power lines causingshort-circuits and outages,” said BillMessner, SCE’s manager, CorporateHealth and Safety. “We don’t wantavoidable outages to ruin this specialday.”

In the last several years, SCE hasexperienced close to 2,000 poweroutages caused by balloons. In 2012,there were 583 balloon-related out-ages, with a 110 percent increase inoutages in February compared to Jan-uary. The number of outages in 2012was the highest since 2007.

SCE recommends some simplesafety tips for handling metallic bal-loons:

• Keep metallic balloons indoors,and never release them outside.

• Helium-filled metallic balloonscan drift and come in contact withhigh-voltage lines and cause power

outages, so be sure to attach a weightheavy enough to prevent them fromfloating away.

• Never attach streamers to anyballoon — latex or metallic.

• If you buy and fill your own bal-loons with helium, be sure to tie themsecurely to a weight heavy enough toprevent them from drifting away.

• Do not attempt to retrieve a bal-loon or any foreign object tangled inpower lines. Instead, call SCE at 800-611-1911 and report the problem.

More information on metallic bal-loon safety can be found atwww.sce.com/metallicballoons.
