stops at Dahlias’ Boutique,Petra’s, and the AppleShed,” said Jill, “and thisyear we have some awe-some booths featuring ourBark For Life sponsorCanine Creek, and manyothers from Mrs. BeardsCookies to origami jewel-ry!”

“So this is the perfectevent to start your Moth-er’ Day shopping,” said Jill,who has gathered togeth-er an eclectic group ofvendors, “so be sure tograb your leash and come

on down and walk yourdog and then do someshopping for the perfectday!”

Ask the DoctorWhen the heart hasbecome a weak pumpBY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Iam 79 and have congestiveheart failure with some highblood pressure. Please givethe information you have onmy illness. -- F.W.

ANSWER: Congestiveheart failure is a common ill-ness in older people. Up to 10percent of those older than65 have it or have had it. Themeaning is that the heart hasbecome so weak that it can'tpump enough blood to sup-port all body organs and tis-sues. You can call it just heartfailure. The "congestive"word confuses people.

The signs of a weakenedheart are breathlessnesswhen trying to do even rela-tively easy physical tasks,along with a feeling that allenergy has left the body. Athird sign is swelling, mostoften of the feet and ankles.The lungs also fill with fluidfrom backed-up blood, andthat adds to the breathing

difficulty. The lungs are con-gested with fluid.

Clogged heart arteries,heart-valve problems, a pre-vious heart attack, a formerviral heart infection anduncontrolled high bloodpressure are some of thecauses of heart failure. Agingis a major cause. The heart isbeginning to wear out.

This sounds hopeless; itisn't. Plenty can be done. Forone, reduce the amount ofsalt and salty foods that youeat. Salt causes fluid reten-tion in the body. Water pills(diuretics) remove excessbody fluid, and they're a con-stant part of treatment.Drugs called ACE inhibitorsnot only regulate blood pres-sure, but they also ease heartfailure. This is only a sampleof the drugs that are usefulfor the treatment of this con-dition.

Once under treatment,you ought to be breathingwith ease and feel a return ofpep. An exercise program is

then possible and an essen-tial for treatment. The pro-gram is one that should bedevised by your doctor.Walking is an excellent wayto strengthen both body andheart muscles.

The booklet on congestiveheart failure providesdetailed information on thecondition and its treatment.Readers can order a copy bywriting: Dr. Donohue -- No.103W, Box 536475, Orlando,FL 32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order (nocash) for $4.75 U.S./$6Canada with the recipient'sprinted name and address.Please allow four weeks fordelivery.DR. DONUOHUE 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.

Heart attack risks higherin women with PAD

(NewsUSA) - Womenwith peripheral artery dis-ease (PAD) are in dangerof a heart attack andbecoming one of the500,000 women who diefrom them each year.

"Women who have PADcan have significant coro-nary disease," saidKatherine Gallagher, MD,a member of the Societyfor Vascular Surgery'sWomen's LeadershipCommittee. "Mostwomen with PAD have ahigher risk of a heartattack than from the com-plications they have fromPAD. As women age, acommon complaint is dif-ficultly with walking; sothe PAD diagnosis can bemissed. Proper treatmentwill limit complicationsfrom PAD and the futurerisk of cardiac events."

Dr. Gallagher addedthat campaigns aboutheart disease haveincreased awarenessfrom 30 percent to 54

percent during a 12-yearperiod. "Vascular sur-geons are working on pro-grams to educate the pub-lic and to make womenmore aware about thesymptoms, dangers andtreatments of PAD andother vascular diseases,"said Dr. Gallagher.

"Chest pain and/or dis-comfort are the mainsymptoms of heartattacks in men andwomen," said Dr. Gal-lagher. "Women may notfeel the excessive chestpressure that many menhave. Women can havemore common symptomslike shortness of breathwith or without chest dis-comfort, nausea/vomitingand back or jaw pain."Other women's symp-toms can include:

• Uncomfortable pres-sure, squeezing, fullnessor pain in the center of thechest. It lasts more than afew minutes or goes awayand comes back.

• Pressure, pain or dis-comfort in the lowerchest, upper back orupper abdomen, neck orin one or both arms

• Being dizzy or light-headed, faint or breakinginto a cold sweat

• Fatigue• Feeling like you have

the fluWomen who have a

higher risk for heart dis-ease include AfricanAmericans, BabyBoomers, diabetics andthose who are 65 andolder, post-menopausal orin early menopause.Younger women are atrisk if they smoke or havehigh blood pressure, dia-betes, high cholesterol, ora family history of youngpeople with cardiovascu-lar disease.

Stone Mountain Well Represented atTHS Basketball BanquetBy Moe Cramer Jr., PTA

I would first like to congratulate and thank Coach Chris Olofsen and his assistant Larry Scaggs for a very exciting basketball season. The Warriors competed in the toughest league Tehachapi has ever been in and were predicted to come in fifth. It is commendable that the team proved the prognosticators wrong and came in third,but it is even more impressive that they did it with such a young team, three sophomores and three freshmen.The seasons to come are bound to be even more exciting.

I have always loved and been involved with sports in one way or another and am blessed to have a job thatkeeps me close. Working at Stone Mountain Physical Therapy gave me the opportunity to personally train some ofthese young athletes and to help heal them from injury and get them back on the court. The icing on the cake is having the privilege of assisting Coach Louie Saavedra and his brother, Marc with the freshman team. After our games we hurry over to the varsity games like a bunch of kids, excited to watch our varsity Warriors. I have a great seat, I get to stay close to the bench to help keep an eye on our wounded. This allows me to be close enough to hear what’s going on inside the huddle and hang out in the locker room to hear Coach’s wisdom.

What a great time I had this year! I was especially grateful to sit with the coaches at this year’s banquet andwatch all of the proud families listen as the head coaches shared their thoughts on this past season, ending eachpresentation with the awards for the most outstanding athletes. At the freshman level Jacob Burt was named Most Valuable Player. Junior Varsity player Nick Madden was named Most Valuable Player and Phil Baquerizo named athlete of the month. Coach Oli named Dalton Scaggs Co-Most Valuable player and Andrew BacquerizoMost Improved Player.

While driving home and reflecting on the night I realized that all of the above named award winners are clients of Stone Mountain Physical Therapy. What a joy it is to see our clients have such success. I’m proud of each and every one of these young men as well as some of the others we have seen; Anthony Curiel, Ryan Kelly, Andrew Borst, Micah Fjeld, Chris Llamas, Lars Olofsen, Preston Terle, Brian Cotta, and Sage Voda.

Of all these young men, there are two that I will never forget. These are jewels in theStone Mountain crown. First, Andrew Baquerizo; this young man showed dedication and persistence worthy of the name Warrior. Andrew trained every week, in season and out, sometimes before school at six in the morning. Coach said his hard work and dedication should inspire all athletes to follow suit. Last, but not least, one of the most amazing athletic feats I have ever witnessed. Dalton Scaggs tore his ACL near the end of last football season. He was told he needed surgery. He was told by several orthopedic surgeons that he was crazy to try and play basketball in the upcoming season, he’d never be able to do it. Dalton did not want to sit out his senior year and could not let his team down, he committed himself to do the impossible, play with a torn ACL. Dalton asked my opinion, I gave him the prosand cons and told him no matter what his decision I would give him all of my support. Well, he chose to play andcame in at 6 am, faithfully, three days a week for training; and many rolls of tape later he receives Most Valuable Player and 1st Team All League, how remarkable! Thanks again guys, what a year!

Journey

Mentryville, one of California’s first oil boomtownsBY MATTHEW MARTZ

TEHACHAPI NEWS

Aptly named after oiltycoon Charles Mentryand located within SantaClarita Woodlands Parkat the bottom of theSanta Susana Mountainsof Pico Canyon in SantaClarita, Mentryville wasone of the first oil boom-towns in the state.

Once home to over 100families in the early1930s, the entire settle-ment was built aroundthe first commerciallysuccessful oil well in Cali-fornia — Pico No. 4,which produced millionsin oil from 1878 until itwas shut down in 1990.

Donated to the SantaMonica Mountains Con-servancy in 1995 bythen-owner Chevron,today the Mentryvillesite and the 800 acressurrounding it, outdoorenthusiasts a uniqueopportunity to explorethe beautiful Santa Clari-ta Valley backcountry,while providing visitors aglimpse of early turn-of-the century California

history. With a few remaining

structures, includingMentry's beautifullyrestored 13-room Penn-sylvania style mansion, aone-room school houseand a period barn, theCalifornia Historic Land-mark stands as a silentreminder of a time whenprospectors combed Cal-ifornia's landscape insearch of gold — bothyellow and black.

There are also rem-nants of various oilindustry related andother artifacts that canbe found around the siteand along some of the

trailheads leading intoand out of Mentryville,including the main trailthat winds its way up anearby hillside to a shadypicnic area, which usedto be the party area forthe oil well workers.

Along the way, hikerswill discover the remainsof an old bakery built byAnthony Cochems, abaker for Standard OilCompany in 1897.

From the bakery, sev-eral other trails vein offinto the chaparral shrubland, grasslands and oaksavanna covered hill-sides.

More advanced hikers

can trek deeper into thebackcountry via a pavedaccess road leading outof Mentryville, whicheventually meandersthrough several parks inthe area, including EdDavis Park, Rocky PeakPark and O'Melveny Parkto the east.

Just 96 miles fromdowntown Tehachapi,getting to Pico Canyon,

Mentryville and all of thearea's parks is easilyaccomplished in a day.

From the Golden StateFreeway (I-5) in Valencia,exit on Lyons-PicoCanyon Road and headwest. Near the end ofPico Canyon Road, bearleft at a Y and continue tothe end. A large parkinglot is opposite the his-toric Mentryville.

The park is open daily,sunrise to sunset andthere is $5 parking fee.

What are rules for collecting roadkill raptors?Q&As from theCalifornia Dept. ofFish and Wildlife

BY CARRIE WILSONCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Question: What arethe rules concerning theuse of birds of prey, suchas owls, which have been

killed byvehicles? Ihavefound sev-eral in thelocal areawhich

seemed to be dead alongthe side of the road butwithout evidence ofdamage to the body. Myguess based on wherethey fell is they are "indi-rect roadkills." If I want-ed to save these animalsfor taxidermy or anotheruse, would I need somekind of documentation?If so, what sort of permitwould I need? It wouldbe simple to documentthe finds I have madephotographically at the

site, but preserving themfor inspection later byCalifornia Department ofFish and Wildlife (CDFW)would be harder. Thanksfor your help with this.(Ken Z., Visalia)

Answer: Under bothstate and federal law, itis not legal to collect orpossess any species ofbird that is protectedunder the U.S. MigratoryBird Treaty Act. Thiswould include all raptorsthat have been killed byvehicles. There are per-mits available, undervery specific circum-stances that allow scien-tific or educational facili-ties to salvage these

birds. Organizations thatbelieve they may qualifyfor these permits wouldbe required to obtainboth a federal SalvagePermit and state Scien-tific Collecting Permit.More information onthese permits can befound atwww.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/research_permit/ andwww.fws.gov/forms/3-200-10a.pdf.

Legal to collectmoon jellyfish forpersonal use?

Question: I am inter-ested in collecting somemoon jellyfish just formy personal use butwant to be sure its legal.They would not be soldor traded. If legal, can Icollect them under abasic fishing license orwould I be required tohave a marine collectorspermit? (Tucker M.)

Answer: Moon jelly-fish occurring outsidethe tide pool zone (1,000

ft. seaward from meanhigh tide) may be legallytaken with a fishinglicense and the bag limitis 35 (California Code ofRegulations Title 14, sec-tion 29.05 & 29.05(a)).

Fishing license andsecond rod stamp

Question: I have a Cal-ifornia sport fishinglicense but did not payfor the second rodstamp. When I am outocean fishing on myboat, am I only allowedone rod? I thought sinceit was the ocean I canhave two rods out, evenif I did not pay for a sec-ond rod stamp. (Anony-mous)

Answer: The secondrod stamp is onlyrequired when fishing infreshwater with twopoles. In the ocean, anynumber of poles andlines generally can beused, with some excep-tions. For example, fish-ing for lingcod, rockfish,greenlings or cabezon is

limited to one line withno more than two hooks.Also, when fishing in SanFrancisco Bay or whenfishing for salmon northof Pt. Conception, onlyone rod/line may be usedper person.

Other exceptionsexist, such as when pierfishing - only two meth-ods may be used. Thereare only a few excep-tions like these, but I'drecommend reviewingthe Gear Restrictionssection of the OceanSport Fishing Regula-tions booklet and anyregulations for thespecies you're pursuingto ensure you're follow-ing the law.

Crab pot dimensions?

Question: My sonwants to build his owncrab pot. I think it's agreat project but I can'tfind any official size reg-ulations. He already hasline, buoys and bait con-tainers. I found a web

page that described acircular pot as measur-ing 42 inches in diame-ter, 14 inches deep andweighing 90 pounds. Arethose the requireddimensions? Can they bebigger/smaller? Any helpis appreciated. (Anony-mous)

Answer: As long asthe trap has at least tworigid circular openings ofnot less than four andone-quarter inchesinside diameter so con-structed that the lowestportion of each openingis no lower than fiveinches from the top ofthe trap (CCR, Title 14,section 29.80 (c)), yourson is free to construct apot using any dimen-sions!

(Family Features) Few things in life areharder to resist than the deliciousaroma of a backyard barbecue.There is just something about thesizzle and smells of grilled farethat brings folks together.

The farm families who grow Wiscon-sin potatoes know how to please thepalates of hungry crowds. The naturalflavors found in the many varieties ofWisconsin potatoes are easy toenhance with the addition of a few freshingredients and a little bit of smoke.

The Wisconsin russet potato makesfor a great tasting baked potato, but itslight and fluffy interior also holds upwell when seared on the grill. Also greaton the grill are Wisconsin yellow fleshpotatoes, which have a just-butteredappearance.

The appearance of the trendy newblue and purple potatoes will certainlyget guests talking. They add color and asubtle nutty flavor to your favorite dish.Everyone's favorite dish at an outdoor

barbecue is often the potato salad. Wis-consin round red or white potatoes areboth well-suited for salads as well asroasting, boiling, and steaming.

Potatoes are an extremely versatileand hearty vegetable. But the one thingall potatoes have in common is nutri-tion. Just what can Wisconsin potatoesdo for you? Well, potatoes are:

• Nutritional powerhouses. In addi-tion to being fat-free, cholesterol-free,sodium free and gluten-free, a mediumpotato has just 110 calories.

• Rich in potassium. According to theUSDA, diets rich in potassium may helpto maintain healthy blood pressure. Thepotato is second only to the banana inthe amount of potassium it contains.

• Packed with Vitamin C. A mediumpotato contains 45 percent of the dailyrecommended amount of Vitamin C.

• Great source of fiber. The USDAreports that fiber helps reduce bloodcholesterol levels and may lower yourrisk of heart disease. Potatoes can also

help make you feel fuller with fewercalories.

Grilled, fried, baked, roasted orboiled, few ingredients get every guestasking for second helpings like the ver-satile potato.

Practical Money Matters

How financially literate are you?BY JASON ALDERMAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I'm not sure whether it was intentional or merely acoincidence that several years ago Congress pro-claimed April to be Financial Literacy Month. April isalso the month when millions of Americans grimlywrite a check to the IRS and resolve to do a better jobmanaging their money; and when millions of otherssquander their tax refund without realizing whyreceiving overly large refunds isn't sound financialmanagement.

In recognition of 2013's Financial Literacy Month,the National Foundation of Credit Counseling justreleased the results of its seventh annual ConsumerFinancial Literacy Survey, which tracks Americans'attitudes and behaviors related to personal finance.

NFCC spokesperson Gail Cunningham said, "On apositive note, by certain measures a large percent-age of Americans do feel they're getting a better han-dle on controlling their finances," she said. "On thedownside, however, many people give themselvespoor grades on their knowledge of personal finance,and worry that they're not saving enough for a rainyday – or for retirement."

Here are some of the survey's key findings:40 percent of adults have a budget and closely

track their spending. In other words, 60 percentdon't use a budget.

Only 32 percent of those polled spend less on liv-ing expenses now than they did last year – a steadydecline since 2009's 59 percent level. At the sametime, 27 percent said they now spend more than theydid a year ago.

About 71 percent pay all bills on time and have nodebts in collection – a 7 percent improvement from2012. Similarly, the percentage of adults who do notpay all bills on time has decreased, from 33 percentin 2012 to 26 percent in 2013.

37 percent carry credit card debt from month tomonth – a 7 percent decrease since the question wasfirst asked in 2009.

Insufficient savings tops the list of financial wor-ries, with 43 percent most worried that they don'thave enough emergency savings, and 38 percentworried they'll retire with inadequate savings. In fact,a whopping 31 percent say they currently save noth-ing for retirement.

When asked where they learned the most aboutpersonal finance, the largest number (33 percent)said from their parents; yet 78 percent agree thatthey could benefit from advice and answers to every-day financial questions from a professional.

To me, perhaps the most telling statistic is that 40percent of adults give themselves only a grade of C,D or F on their knowledge of personal finance. Shouldwe be worried because that many people with apoor-to-middling understanding of money manage-ment are likely to be the major influence on their chil-dren's financial habits? I think so.

"Fortunately, many financial education tools areavailable for people of all ages," noted Cunningham."The challenge is making people aware of them andencouraging them to seek help when they need it."

Helpful financial education sites include:• MyMoney.gov (www.mymoney.gov), the govern-

ment's website dedicated to teaching Americans thebasics about financial education.

• The NFCC (www.nfcc.org), featuring informationon obtaining free or low-cost help from trained, certi-fied credit counselors.

• Practical Money Skills for Life (www.pmsfl.com),a free personal financial management program runby Visa Inc., that includes saving and budgeting tips,and interactive video games like Financial Footballthat engage students while teaching them money-management skills.

Don't let another April pass without taking steps toimprove your financial literacy – and that of yourkids.JASON ALDERMAN directs Visa's financial education programs.

In an effort to eliminatedangerous behind-the-wheel cell phone use andtexting, the CaliforniaOffice of Traffic Safety(OTS), California HighwayPatrol (CHP), and morethan 200 law enforce-ment agencies across thestate today announcedhigh visibility enforce-ment operations duringApril’s National Distract-ed Driving AwarenessMonth. The overall goalof increased enforcementis to convince drivers of

the dangers of distracteddriving and reduce thenumber of peopleimpacted by this riskybehavior. The “It’s NotWorthy It!” themeemphasizes that a phonecall or text isn’t worth ahefty fine or a collision.

“In a few short years,distracted driving hasgrown to be a nationwidetraffic safety concern,and we all need to putforth the effort necessaryto put an end to it,” saidOTS Director Christopher

J. Murphy. “Law enforce-ment agencies will bestepping up their effortsto help remind drivers tostay alert when behindthe wheel and to notendanger their lives orthe lives of others withdistractions from mobiledevices.”

In recent years, hun-dreds have been killedand thousands seriouslyinjured in California as aresult of collisions thatinvolved at least one driv-er who was distracted.

Nationally, an estimated3,331 people died in 2011.Any activity that divertsthe driver’s attentionaway from the primarytask of driving is distract-ing, but the recent dra-matic rise in cell phonetalking and texting hasgreatly increased thenumber of collisions.

“No text message orphone call is worth therisk of serious injury-ormuch worse,” said BrianKelly, Acting Secretary ofBusiness, Transportation

& Housing Agency.“Always keep your eyeson the road and hands offyour phone while driv-ing.”

Behind the wheel, cellphone use can signifi-cantly reduce the brainfunctions needed for safedriving, sometimes up to37 percent. The cellphone conversation cancause such a reduction inproper brain functionthat good drivers aretransforming seeminglyinto inattentive “zom-

bies” behind the wheel.To avoid falling victim

to “zombie-like” distract-ed driving behaviors OTSis providing drivers withthe following tips thatcan be implemented byany motorist:

• Turn off your phoneand/or put it out of reachwhile driving.

• Include in your outgo-ing message that youcan’t answer while youare driving.

• Don’t call or text

• Adjust controls and setyour song playlist beforeyou set out on the road.

• Stay alert and keep yourmind on the task of driving-often after a long day atwork or a not-so-restfulnight’s sleep, people’sminds can wander whenbehind the wheel. If you findyourself daydreaming- clearyour head and focus on theroad.

In 2012, the CaliforniaDepartment of Motor Vehi-cles reported nearly450,000 handheld cellphone and texting convic-tions, with more than57,000 tickets issued inApril alone. The CHP andstatewide law enforcementagencies are committed toensuring our streets are safeby ticketing anyone founddriving while distracted. Thefine for a first time textingor hand-held cell phone vio-lation is $159, with a subse-
