ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You're eager to take on that new opportunity opening up as January gives way to February. Now all you need to do is resist quitting too early. Do your best to stay with it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel comfortable in your familiar surroundings, but it might be time to venture into something new. There's a challenge out there that's just right for you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Doff a bit of that careful, conservative outlook and let your brave Bovine self take a chance on meeting that new challenge. You could be surprised at how well you do.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your love of things that are new gets a big boost as you encounter a situation that opens up new and exciting vistas. How far you go with it depends on you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might not want to return to the more serious tasks facing you. But you know it's what you must do. Cheer up. Something more pleasant soon will occupy your time.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That recent workplace shift might not seem to be paying off as you expected. But be patient. There are changes coming that could make a big difference.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you dutifully tidy up your end-of-the-month tasks, your fun self emerges to urge you to do something special: A trip (or a cruise, maybe?) could be just what you need.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While few can match the Goat's fiscal wizardry, you still need to be wary in your dealings. There might be a problem you should know about sooner rather than later.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your achievements are admirable as you close out the month with a roar. Now you can treat yourself to some well-earned time off for fun with family or friends. (Or both!)

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Easy does it when it comes to love and all the other good things in life. Don't try to force them to develop on your schedule. Best to let it happen naturally.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be sure you know the facts before you assume someone is holding back on your project. Try to open your mind before you give someone a piece of it.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprise decision by someone you trust causes some stormy moments. But a frank discussion explains everything, and helps save a cherished relationship.

MASSAGE IN OFFICE massage can help Born This Week: Sometimes you forget to take care of yourself, because you're so busy caring for others. But you wouldn't have it any other way.

‘Chamber pop’ artist Jann Klose at Fiddlers Crossing Feb. 1 BY DEBORAH HAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Jann Klose, who will perform at Fiddlers Crossing in Downtown Tehachapi on Feb. 1, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who epitomizes the “Crossing” part of Fiddlers Crossing. Klose is truly an international musician, having lived in Germany, Kenya and South Africa and the United States. His music is a genre becoming known as “Chamber Pop,” a form of pop-rock performed in an intimate style more like folk music. His lush, beautiful voice is well-suited to bringing out the deep emotions of his lyrics. Klose first came to the United States as an exchange stu-

Jann Klose dent in Ohio. He now lives in New York City, but tours throughout the U.S. and Canada. In the month before the Fiddlers Crossing concert, he will be performing in Germany and Canada, as well as Penn-

sylvania and Ohio. He last played at Fiddlers Crossing in 2011. As a singer and songwriter, his music reflects his international background in his lyrics and melodies, as well as his rhythms and guitar work. The Washington Post writes of him, “Klose wins over the listener with his soaring voice, which may be a staple of chamber pop for a long time to come.” Klose has also performed on the stage, as well as in film and soundtracks. His stage credits include “Jekyll & Hyde” on Broadway, and in the touring companies of The Who’s “Tommy” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

He appears as a singer and guitar player in the new Jeff Buckley biopic, “Greetings from Tim Buckley,” that is making the rounds of film festivals overseas. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2012 to rave reviews. His songs can be heard on “Dead Broke,” a Warner Bros. film featuring Paul Sorvino. The musician also has a “world citizen” outlook in helping others. He was involved in cleanup efforts on Staten Island after hurricane Sandy decimated that region of New York City. He has donated his time and talents to a CD produced by the Healthy Food for Thought organization, designed to

teach kids the benefits of healthy eating. “Good Enough to Eat” was nominated for a Grammy in the “spoken word” category in 2010. The CD was produced as a benefit for the New York Coalition for Healthy School Food. The compelling music of Jann Klose makes a fitting way to top off the First Friday evening. It will start at 7 p.m., giving people plenty of time to visit the galleries and businesses first. Fiddlers Crossing will not be holding a First Friday Open House in February but will resume in March. Tickets to this concert are $15, and as always, coffee and goodies are included. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Fun is theme for First Friday Art Walk on Feb. 1 Fun seems to be the theme for Downtown Tehachapi’s First Friday Art Walk for Feb. 1, with a number of venues rolling out the red carpet for guests. Galleries, the Tehachapi Museum and some shops will be open for the special event from 5 to 8 p.m. plus there is a show continuing at the Beekay Theatre (curtain time is 7:30 p.m. for “Almost, Maine,” $15) and Fiddler’s Crossing is hosting Jann Klose in concert (7 p.m., $15.) With the exception of the concert and show at the Beekay, events are free. Tehachapi Treasure Trove, 116 E. Tehachapi Blvd. is hosting a First Friday Fun Fest as part of its Jewelry Jamboree Weekend. Food, beverages and an extensive display of jewelry created by local artists will highlight the evening. In addition to the wide variety of jewelry already available at the Treasure Trove, tables will be available for rent for the weekend by other artists not already showing in the downtown area. The jewelry will remain on display through Sunday, Feb. 4, providing extra shopping time for Valentine’s Day gifts.

Tehachapi Treasure Trove invites you to its Jewelry Jamboree Weekend, kicking off on First Friday, Jan. 1. Down the street at Gallery ‘n’ Gifts, 100 W. Tehachapi Blvd., the Tehachapi Valley Arts Association will be showing the work of photographers in the 8th annual TVAA Photo Contest. Photographers once again took up the challenge and entered their photographic visions in the contest,” said Gale Caldwell of the association. The winner of the highly competitive event will be announced

at a First Friday reception, during which the public is invited to view the photos, which will remain on display during the entire month of February. Proceeds from the event will go toward art scholarships to graduating seniors, as well as to provide art supplies to area schools, Caldwell said. Music is a popular part of First Friday and at the Back Street Gallery, 106 W. Tehachapi Blvd.

Gayel Pitchford and Ron Blair will perform. At the Tehachapi Community Church, on the corner of Green and "E" Streets, will open its Friendship Hall on First Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. for a display of glass beads made by polymer clay artist Cheryl Harris. Harris, who relocated from San Diego to Tehachapi in 2000 and learned the polymer process from Karen Lewis, aka Klew, will also discuss the process of making beads out of glass with a torch. A lthough an artist in various mediums including oil paints acrylics, Harris finds bead making a favorite activity for her creative efforts. Her work has been published in PolymerCare magazine and Belle Armoire Jewelry. And the Tehachapi Museum, 310 S. Green St., will have a fun new exhibit installed in time for First Friday. “Toys of the 20th Century” includes a variety of toys that delighted children in times past. While you’re downtown check for various shops that may be open late — from antiques to fashion for all ages — or enjoy dinner at your favorite restaurant.

Health & Fitness Ask the Doctor

Soaking night sweats are daily torment BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. KING FEATURES

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This year I retired, at age 66. Since retirement I've been tormented with drenching sweats nightly. I mention the retirement because it's the only thing in my life that has changed. Could there be a connection? I have to change my pajamas every night, and sometimes the bed linens. I feel well otherwise. I will appreciate anything you can tell me. -- D.D. ANSWER: You and your doctor have to look for the rare but serious causes of night sweats. In the past, infections were the major cause, and tuberculosis headed the list of infectious

causes. That's no longer true. Diabetes, an overactive thyroid gland and cancers -especially lymphomas (lymph node cancers) -- are other possible causes. It's most unusual for night sweats to be the only sign of such illnesses. I can't link your retirement to the problem. Have you taken your temperature at night? A normal temperature points to causes that are less indicative of something that has health consequences.

Medicines might provoke sweating. Antidepressants, some of the diabetes medicines and thyroid hormone are examples. Aspirin resets the body's thermostat. When its effect begins to wear off, profuse sweating can result. The following tips for controlling sweating are banalities, but they're always mentioned. The heat and humidity of the bedroom have to be on the low side. Humidity of less than 40 percent is optimum. If sweating is confined to a particular body area, like the palms and soles, the face or the underarms, you have more treatment options. For generalized

sweating, the choices are not as plentiful. Fans and air conditioners are another banal solution, but they often work. Some have found that Robinul (glycopyrrolate) or ProBanthine, each taken 45 minutes before going to bed, stop the production of excessive sweats. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

What to do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick, but not sick enough Doctors agree that cold and flu symptoms are nothing to sneeze at and that the sooner they're treated, the better chance there is for a quick recovery and minimum disruption of lifestyle. Yet, people hesitate to take medication at the crucial early stage for lots of reasons. First, it can be difficult to tell where early symptoms will lead. Some people try orange juice or a nap, adding different treatments, step by step, as time passes, if symptoms grow worse. "I see it all the time," says Chris Gilbert, M.D., author of

"Dr. Chris's A, B, C's of Health." "Patients take great proactive steps like washing their hands frequently and taking a multivitamin. They don't know what to do, though, when they start to get sick. They wait until their condition gets so bad that they can't sleep at night or function during the day, so they have nothing to lose by taking something that will put them in a fog." Drivers, equipment operators, pilots and night workers can't take antihistamines or decongestants that can cause drowsiness. Others just don't like to

take medication or don't like to admit they're vulnerable. The problem is that when cold and flu sufferers get to the point of taking a medication that will suppress symptoms until the body heals on its own, the action of suppressing symptoms is counterproductive to what the body is doing to help itself. However, there are overthe-counter medicines that help nip symptoms in the bud. Homeopathic medicines work with the body to help it rebalance and heal itself instead of simply masking symptoms.

studies show that top seller Oscillococcinum helps reduce both the severity and duration of flu-like symptoms. In fact, when patients took it within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, nearly 63 percent showed "clear improvement" or "complete resolution" within 48 hours, according to a study published in a British scientific journal. These results confirm results from previous studies. "Patients have told me that they feel much better the next morning, even when they thought they would be bedridden the evening before. It's the step to take after proactively trying to prevent illness with vitamins but before it gets to the point where you think you need to mask symptoms with heavy-duty medication," says Dr. Gilbert. "For years I've been telling my patients to keep Oscillo on hand." This family treatment for 2 to 102-year-olds has a 65year safety record, no side effects such as drowsiness, and no interactions with other medications or supplements. When you're feeling run down and have a headache, body aches, chills and fever, you will be glad that these sweet-tasting pellets dissolve quickly under your tongue without water.

Journey

Time stands still for more than 110 years in Randsburg Restored to its former glory of the Gold Rush era, travelers are transported back in time when they visit The Randsburg Living Ghost Town located just off Highway 395 in eastern Kern County. First discovered in 1895, prospectors flocked to the area 17 miles south of Ridgecrest and quickly formed Rand Camp named after the Witwatersrand mining area in South Africa. At one time the area boomed to nearly 3,000 miners, but is now home to less than 70 people who inhabit the once abandoned gold and silver mining settlement. Situated in the Rand Mountains at an elevation of 3,500 feet, the mine has produced a reported $25 million in gold and silver and today employs over 80 people around the clock. While current mining production for the Rand Mining Company is shrouded in secrecy, rumor has is that it turns out about 5,000 ounces of gold a month. Although gold fever is no longer the

Sprinkled along the town’s main drag amid various decaying structures

and historical monuments, including a small jail cell and a variety of rusted out abandoned vehicles, are a couple of antique stores, an authentic western saloon, an opera house, a general store with an old fashioned soda fountain,

two small inns, and the infamous "Joint" where travelers can quench their thirst. Nearby Historical Marker No. 938 designates The Rand Desert Museum. Built in 1942 it is one of the first museums in Kern County. Inside are some amazing relics and outside is an area full of rusty mining machinery including a Five-Ton Steam Locomotive used in the Yellow Aster Mine in the early 1900s.The museum is open weekends and long weekend holidays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free. Besides attracting history buffs, rock hounds are often seen sifting through the silt in search of that rare and perfect gem, as well as off-roaders who come to explore this peculiar little spot on the map. Getting to Randsburg is an easy onehour drive from Tehachapi, which begins heading east on Highway 58 towards to Mojave. Then traveling north on Highway 14, take the Redrock Randsburg Road cutoff 20 miles to town.

Fish & Wildlife

If white-tailed deer stray into California, can we shoot? Q&As for the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife BY CARRIE WILSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Question: If whitetailed deer were to

PHOTO COURTESY OF USFWS

White-tailed deer cannot be taken unless under normal hunting provisions for the area in which a person is hunting.

migrate into California from Oregon or Idaho, could they be shot here on sight since there is no season or provision for that species? (Scott H.) Answer: No. Since Fish and Game Code, section 3950(a) defines deer as genus Odocoileus, which includes white-tailed deer, white-tailed deer can only be taken under the normal deer hunting provisions for the area in which it wandered.

How many hooks are allowed when sturgeon fishing? Question: When fishing for sturgeon, how many hooks are allowed?

Answer: Only one single point, single shank, barbless hook may be used on a line when taking sturgeon.

Spearfishing in the Sacramento River Question: I live in the Valley District and am wondering if it is legal to spearfish in the Sacramento River? I know there are carp, pikeminnow (squawfish) and western suckers. I’ve been searching online and many people say you can’t spearfish in any fresh water system, including streams, lakes and rivers. I have spearfished in the ocean but not in fresh water yet. I keep hearing different things from people regarding the spearfishing. Also, is there any recommended equipment

for spearfishing? Can homemade or custombuilt equipment be legally used for spearfishing? I know the Valley District is only open for a short time (five months) for spearfishing. (J.T. Moua) Answer: Spearfishing is allowed but there are some restrictions. First of all, please pick up a copy of the 2012-2013 Freshwater Sport Fishing Regulations booklet available free of charge at most stores or DFG offices that sell fishing licenses or online at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations/. Section 2.30 (page 15) lists the only species that may be taken in the Valley District between May 1 and Sept. 15. For a description of the boundaries for the Valley District, please see section 6.36 (page 27). In addition,

you may not spearfish in designated spawning areas. There are no specific definitions regarding the spears that may be used, so you may build your own or buy a custom made spear. For a definition of what regulations constitute spearfishing, please see section 1.76 (page 13).

Sand Souvenirs Question: I am developing a souvenir that would contain granules of sand from California beaches. I would only require about a half-gallon of sand. Am I able to take sand from a beach and re-sell it as a souvenir to promote the state and its natural resources? (Paul K.) Answer: Generally, beach sand is not protected by any California Fish and Game law. How-

ever, collection of anything (including beach sand) is prohibited in any park or other marine area that has a specific designation and protection in law. In addition, you may want to consider the corrosive nature of beach sand due to its salt content and other unsuitable qualities resulting from decomposition of biotics before using it in your souvenirs. You may find it more beneficial to purchase treated beach sand that is sold in small quantities at many stores that stock landscape and garden supplies.

While she cannot personally answer everyone’s questions, she will select a few to answer each week in this column. Please contact her at Cal.Outdoors@wildlife.ca.gov.

Eating for heart health is actually easier - and more delicious - than you might think. When you have a good plan and plenty of mouthwatering recipes, you'll enjoy taking care of your heart. According to the FDA, diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Here are some tips to help you make these kinds of heart-smart choices: • Choose leaner cuts of meat. You can find plenty of delicious options such as skinless chicken, lean pork and beef. And you can make smart substitutions, too - use ground turkey instead of ground beef to make meatloaf or burgers even leaner. • Add fruits and veggies to every meal. Strawberries in yogurt, blueberries on a salad, carrots and hummus as a snack, roasted sweet potatoes with dinner - it's easier than you think to add nutrientdense produce to your diet. Eat plenty of different colored produce for variety and a wider range of health benefits. • Enjoy more whole grains. Whole grains add carbohydrates for energy, fiber to fill you up, and nutrients important for good health. And, according to a recent national survey, 4 out of 5 doctors recommend Post Shredded Wheat as part of a healthy, lowsodium diet, to maintain a healthy heart, reduce the risk of heart disease, and support healthy blood pressure levels. These recipes are a great start to adding more whole grains - and they're so good, you might forget they are heart smart. Get more tips and heart-smart recipes at www.PostShreddedWheat.com.

Score a touchdown with food choices from TOPS There are many different perspectives on what America’s favorite pastime truly is. This time of year, watching football tends to top the list. With Sunday’s schedule including “the big game,” TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers tips to help keep nutrition on track when cheering on your favorite team. • Have a small snack before you arrive at a party to curb your appetite. Overeating can be avoided if you don’t arrive hungry. • Start out with foods that will leave you feeling fuller faster, like nuts. A handful of almonds, containing about 160 calories, is a smart choice. • Offer to bring a fruit platter or veggie tray, broth-based soup made with fresh or frozen vegetables, flour tortillas sprinkled with parmesan cheese and baked, or sugar-free pudding to the buffet. Then you’ll have a healthy option to snack on. • Go easy on anything with a thick, creamy consistency like dips or casseroles. Most often these foods are high in calories and not very filling. • Take a walk around the buffet and consider your choices before putting anything on your plate. If you choose to have a high-fat or high-calorie item

(wings, pizza, or nachos), take only a small amount and put it on your plate last, after you’ve filled up the space with healthier options. • Consider guacamole! Guacamole is high in the “good” types of fat – mono and polyunsaturated. Guacamole is also high in beta carotene, fiber, folate, and potassium, making this a relatively guilt-free option. • Limit alcohol. Not only is it high in calories, alcohol causes blood sugar to drop, which leads to hunger. If you do imbibe, consider light beer and stagger alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic ones. • Pick filling protein over high-carb offerings, including shrimp with cocktail sauce or smoked salmon served with cocktail rye. TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is the original weight-loss support and wellness education organization. Founded more than 65 years ago, TOPS is the only nonprofit, noncommercial weightloss organization of its kind. TOPS promotes successful weight management with a “Real People. Real Weight Loss.®” philosophy that combines support from others at weekly chapter meetings, healthy eating, regular exercise, and wellness information. TOPS has about 170,000 members – male and female, age seven and older – in nearly 10,000 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. Membership is affordable at just $28 per year in the U.S. and $32 per year in Canada, plus nominal chapter fees. To find a local chapter, view www.tops.org or call (800) 932-8677.

Keep your energy up The next time you feel your energy flagging, consider this advice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other experts. Getting a balance of protein and nutrients in your diet is the key to keeping your energy up all day. That means making sure you eat a variety of whole grains, fruit, veggies and protein at each meal. • For starters, have a good breakfast. After many hours of fasting, a nutritious breakfast helps provide energy for an active day. A breakfast filled with a balance of nutrients— protein, grains, fruit and dairy—will give your brain as well as your body what it needs to get you through the morning at your best. • Next, get moving. Getting a little physical activity each day, activities like taking a 30-minute walk around the neighborhood or mowing the lawn, can help you build strong bones and muscles, reduce body fat and feel great. Being active uses energy, and you’ll feel invigorated. • Finally, snack smart. Rather than empty calories, enjoy something like this:

24-7 Energy Snack Mix • 2 cups roasted peanuts • 1 cup toasted sunflower seeds • 1/4 cup dried mango, diced

• 1/4 cup dried apples, diced • 1/2 cup M&Ms Toss ingredients together in large bowl. Portion 1/4-cup servings into plastic snack bags. Makes: 16 servings An important part of that snack is the protein you get from the peanuts. Sherry Coleman Collins, MS, RD, LD, says, “Peanuts are a powerhouse of protein. With seven grams per serving, peanuts contain more protein than any nut. Protein is one of the essential nutrients in life. It is important not only for growing children but also for maintaining muscles, bones and skin throughout life.” Moreover, peanuts are a natural source of plant-based protein. Collins recommends choosing more plant-based proteins as part of a healthy lifestyle. The government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans specifically point out the need for a shift in food intake to a more plantbased diet; one that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Whether you’re a vegetarian or looking to cut down on saturated fat levels, peanuts can be a smart choice when looking for a boost of protein in any meal. SOURCE: NAPSI

Where's the Beef? BY ANGELA SHELF MEDEARIS

Red meat often has a bad reputation in the world of nutrition and health. Some people have eliminated red meat from their diet. Like most foods, lean cuts of beef are a healthy addition to your diet and, in moderation, a good source of protein. An appropriate portion size is a 3-ounce piece of lean meat, which is about the size of a deck of cards. A lean cut of beef is an excellent source of protein, zinc, vitamin B-12, selenium and phosphorus. Even with these benefits, it is important to select lean cuts that are redder in color, without a lot of marbling. The leanest cuts will have "loin" or "round" in the name. A 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides at least 20 percent of the Daily Value for these nutrients per serving. A 3-ounce serving of beef also is a good source of niacin, vitamin B-6, iron and riboflavin -which means it supplies 10 percent to 19 percent of the Daily Value for these nutrients per serving. All of these nutrients play a vital role in the body. Protein helps build bones, muscles, cartilage and skin. It's also a component of blood, enzymes, hormones and vitamins, and it gives the body energy. Zinc boosts the immune system and promotes wound healing. Phosphorus is required for the formation of healthy teeth and bones. Iron carries oxygen in the blood to the cells and muscles, helping to inhibit fatigue, as well prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Vitamin B-12, niacin, vitamin B-6 and riboflavin all aid the body in the release of energy, help the nervous system function properly and assist with the synthesis of

red blood cells and tissues. When using ground beef in a recipe, it should be at least 90 percent lean. Make beef cuts even healthier by removing any excess fat, and prepare it using cooking methods like baking, grilling or broiling. Be sure to include a variety of protein foods in your diet in addition to beef, like fish, poultry and nuts. As with all foods, remember to eat beef in moderation. (Additional information from Christeena Haynes, MS, RD, LD, nutrition and health education specialist, Dallas County, University of Missouri Extension.)

Warmer weather may still be months away, but Critters Without Litters wants you to “beat the heat” by spaying your cat in advance of her heat cycle and preventing unwanted litters from being born this Spring. To help reduce the number of homeless cats born this spring, Critters Without Litters is offering a special “Beat the Heat” promotion sponsored by PetSmart Charities®. During the entire month of February, Critters Without Litters will spay female cats for a special rate of $20. “Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old,” says Vicky Thrasher, Executive Director. “Most people don’t want to see their

cat get pregnant over and over again, so hopefully our “Beat the Heat” campaign will serve as a gentle reminder to cat owners to sterilize their cats before they go into heat and become pregnant this year.” This special rate is even less than the organization’s normal lowcost price and is available to all residents of Kern County. Cat owners who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Beat the Heat” promotion when they schedule their appointment. Thanks to the PetSmart Charities grant, Critters Without Litters will provide 200 cat sterilizations for $20 during February. Please visit www.critterswithoutlitters.org or call 661-8316000 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
