ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your creative side is enhanced by indulging yourself in as much artistic inspiration (music, art, dance, etc.) as you can fit into your schedule. Take someone special with you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone very special in your life finally sends that reassuring message you've been hoping for. You can now devote more time to the tasks you had put aside.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take a little restorative time out of your busy life. Go somewhere quiet this weekend. Or just close the door, turn on the answering machine and pretend you're away.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Job pressures begin to ease by the week's end, leaving you time to relax and restore your energy levels before you face next week's emerging challenges.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your advice might be much in demand by family and friends this week. But reserve time for yourself to investigate a project that could have some unexpected potential.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your spiritual strength helps calm a friend who might be facing an unsettling change in his or her life.

An offer to help comes from a surprising source.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work-related issues demand your attention in the early part of the week. Family matters dominate Thursday and Friday.

But the weekend is yours to spend as you please.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) By midweek you could learn some surprising facts about an associate that might cause you to reconsider a long-held view about someone in your past.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Try to keep your temper in check as you deal with someone who seems to enjoy showing disrespect. Losing your Leonine cool might be just what the goader hopes to see.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) One of those rarefor-you darker moods sets in in the early part of the week. But

by Thursday, the clouds lift and you're back doing nice things for people in need.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A heated confrontation needs some cool-off time before it boils over. Better to step away than to try to win an argument where emotions overrule the facts.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Use that sharp Piscean perceptiveness to reel in more information about a promising offer so that you have the facts to back up whatever decision you make.

All-Native American band performs blues, rock ‘n’ roll

Hours: Fri • Sat • Sun from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

BY EMILY BRUNETT

Complete menu & info at www.moessnerfarms.com

When Blue Mountain Tribe formed 10 years ago, the founding Hairston family had a distinct aim for the blues and rock band.

“Our vision was always to have a fully Native American band,” Paris Hairston said.

Although she is not one of the musicians, Paris works as the band’s manager. Her husband, Robin Hairston, and son, Caleb Hairston, are the only known Native American father/son blues team. Robin is an award-winning harmonica player and Caleb is the band’s lead guitarist.

Initially, the band was not exclusively composed of Native Americans. But after a year-long hiatus, the band’s search for Native musicians yielded the desired results.

“Our patience has paid off,” Robin said.

Although heritage was a major factor in choosing members, the band did not sacrifice that for musical quality. An ad posted by the group on bandmix.com called for a bass guitar player with “talent, dedication and commitment” and at least 10 years of experience.

Paris said every member has extensive experience. Drummer Mark Drum has helped produce several gold albums. Rhythm guitarist “Cooperhawk” has a history in Christian music and is a prominent member in his inter-tribal drumming circle. Lead vocalist Joe Sandoval is called “the natural” by Paris because he has a “voice like a songbird” but never before broke into the band circuit. Bob Mitchell, bass player, is a former member of the Bakersfield-based band English Revolver and has played bass gui-

Blue Mountain Tribe lead guitarist Caleb Hairston is dressed to honor his ancestors. tar since his childhood.

Marshall McCullough, co-owner of The 58 Restaurant at 480 E. Steuber Road with Gonzonlo Higareda, makes live music a regular part of the eatery’s weekend life. When Blue Mountain Tribe members approached him with a request to play on his stage, he readily accepted.

“I love that they’re from Tehachapi,” McCullough said. “I love that they’re indigenous people. We have a lot of culture in this area.”

“Our goal is to bring the Native American people and culture in to mainstream America and to promote the cultures of the various indigenous nations,” Paris said.

“We are so thrilled to be able to represent nations from all over the country,” Robin said.

The band not only wants to represent Native nations, but to inspire them, according to Paris.

She explained how, many years ago, Caleb was diagnosed as a child with special needs who would need care his whole life.

Paris refused to believe the doctors. On instinct, she gave the 12year-old boy a guitar and was shocked by the results.

“He sounded out a song on one string,” Paris said. “And when he did that, my jaw literally dropped. He’s my prodigy.”

After his mother gave him a musical outlet and removed all video games from his life, Caleb went from an “F” student to an “A” student. He graduated from Tehachapi High School and now, at 23, works on Edwards Air Force Base. Hired at the age of 17, he was the youngest civilian to ever be hired by the Department of Defense on a permanent basis, according to Paris.

Paris said the band’s second purpose is to inspire Native American children and families to never give up on their dreams.

“We hope to prove to them that they can do anything they set their minds to,” she said. “We hope Caleb can be a beacon of hope so that they don’t feel like they’re left to the bleakness of reservation life.”

Some day, Paris said she hopes to start a music education program for special needs Native American children.

In the meantime, the Hairston family is focused on making Blue Mountain Tribe “Tehachapi’s honorary band,” Robin said.

“This is the kind of band that will raise the roof,” Paris said. “They’re high energy. You’ve got to have one foot in the grave to not want to get up and dance.”

The band Zave opens this summer’s “Music in the Park” series June 22.

Zave opens ‘Music in the Park’ June 22 Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Parks District introduced Zave as the first band taking the stage for its “Music in the Park” series beginning Saturday, June 22, at Meadowbrook Park.

Zave, the “Frencherican,” was born in Paris and born again in Los Angeles. Zave’s long history in the music industry started with being classically trained in piano as a child. Over the years he has been key in

the creation of six bands.

After a hiatus of 15 years, Zave produced his current album, “Full Circle.”

Zave currently resides in Bear Valley Springs.

“Zave has a great bluesy-rock sound, is full of energy, engaging and entertaining,” TVRPD Recreation Supervisor LeAnn Williams said.

“Tehachapi is going to love this concert.”

Zave’s band consists of local Tehachapi residents Sean Edward Macy

(guitar/vocals), Rob Saranpa (bass/vocals) and Cal City resident Sean Privette (drums/vocals).

The free event opens at 4 p.m. with Tehachapi native Trevor Shuster’s Hot Smokin’ Barbecue, a beer garden and a car show. Zave takes the stage at 6 p.m.

“It’s going to be a great day at Meadowbrook,” Williams said.

707 VALLEY BLVD.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have been diagnosed with atrial flutter. My cardiologist wants to perform a catheter ablation on me and says it's a safe procedure. Do you agree? -- B.L. ANSWER: Atrial flutter is a very rapid heartbeat.

The atria, the two upper heart chambers, beat 260 to 300 times a minute. The lower heart chambers, the right and left ventricles, the heart's pumping chambers, beat at half that rate, still a fast heartbeat.

Atrial flutter differs from atrial fibrillation, a more common heartrhythm disturbance, in the regularity of the heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is both an irregular and fast heartbeat. Atrial flutter is a regular and fast beat.

Fatigue, lightheadedness and shortness of breath are some of atrial flutter's symptoms.

The heart can't be allowed to sustain such

rapid beating. Ablation, the destruction of heart tissue responsible for the speedup, is an excellent way to put an end to flutter.

The heart doctor with a specially equipped catheter advances this thin, pliable tube from a surface blood vessel into the heart. When the doctor has the catheter at the right position, he or she turns on radio waves that create scars in the renegade part of the atrium. The abnormal rhythm stops. The success rate is 90 percent. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to have it done.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Years ago, on one of the morning news shows, I heard people talking about taking a vitamin or mineral to keep mosquitoes from biting. Do you know what that is? Mosquitoes prefer my blood.

I do not want to use some type of poison, like a repellent. -- P.J. ANSWER: Vitamin B-1, thiamine, has been touted as a way to discourage mosquitoes from biting. No proof of this exists, and I have serious doubts about this advice.

Exhaled carbon dioxide attracts mosquitoes, as do other body chemicals and body heat. You don't have to fear repellents. They aren't poison.

They don't kill mosquitoes. They drive them away -- repel them. Ones with DEET work well. Or if you want a natural product, try Repel. It

contains oil of lemon eucalyptus.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My concern is "tan without the sun" lotions. The "bronzers" work over a period of hours. If they were simple dyes, the color change would be immediate. It isn't. It takes hours before an effect is noticeable.

Do they bring a natural skin pigment to the surface, and do they protect from the sun? -- A.R. ANSWER: Most of these products contain dihydroacetone, which reacts with cells in the topmost layer of skin and imparts the tan hue to it. It fades as these cells are shed. The color change does not protect against sunlight.

These bronzers are not skin dyes.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Medicare’s 5-Star special enrollment period for 2013 underway (NewsUSA) - Medicare members have a second opportunity to join a 5star Medicare health plan, and they can enroll in even more Kaiser Permanente 5-star plans than the previous year.

The 5-Star Special Enrollment Period, underway through November, provides Medicare beneficiaries with the option of enrolling in a 5-star plan rather than waiting until the usual fall open enrollment. Seniors and individuals with disabilities must meet certain eligibility criteria and live where a 5-star plan is offered.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services created the 5star Special Enrollment

Period to encourage enrollment in top-quality 5-star plans. CMS rates plans on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the highest for performance excellence. The ratings are based on how a plan helps members stay healthy, managing chronic conditions, member satisfaction, customer service and pharmacy benefits.

Kaiser Permanente leads the nation with the most 5-star Medicare health plans for 2013. Its Medicare plans in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Ohio are the newest additions to the 5-star category, and the only 5-star plans in their states. In addition, the Kaiser Permanente

Medicare plans in California, Colorado, Hawaii and Oregon are the only 5-star plans in their states. In the state of Washington, Kaiser Permanente is one of only two 5-star plans.

"There are many factors to consider when selecting a Medicare health plan, but this quality rating should be weighed heavily," said Jed Weissberg, medical director, Kaiser Permanente Medicare Plans.

"It's important that seniors become familiar with the Medicare Star Quality Ratings, so they can make informed choices and select a plan that provides the best care and service."

"Whether seniors are

enrolled in a Medicare health plan or getting services through Original Medicare, this is a good opportunity to learn more about their options and enroll in a 5-star plan," said Herman Weil, senior vice president, Kaiser Permanente Medicare programs.

Seniors can learn more about Medicare's 5-star Special Enrollment Period by visiting kp.org/medicare, medicare.gov, or calling 1-855-817-5831. Plan performance summary star ratings are assessed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services each year and may change from one year to the next.

Journey

Ronald Reagan Library

BY MATTHEW MARTZ TEHACHAPI NEWS

Situated on a hilltop just off the 118 freeway in Simi Valley is the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Center for Public Affairs.

The library grounds provide a bird’s eye view of the presidential library of our 40th president, which also serves as his final resting place.

The entire outdoor landscape is a recreation of the White House lawn where visitors are greeted upon arrival by multicolored section of the Berlin Wall and an F-14 Tomcat fighter jet.

Taking approximately three years to construct, the library opened on November 4, 1991, and is the largest of the presidential libraries with over 153,000 square-feet and another 90,000 square-foot building housing the original Air Force One, which was once used by seven different American Presidents between 1972 and 2001.

The library was built entirely with private donations and costs of construction are estimated at $60 million.

Each year, over 300,000 visitors come to view the archives that reside at the library, which serves as a repository of records from Reagan’s administration.

Over 50 million pages of presidential documents, 1.6 million photographs, as

well as a half million feet of film, audio, and videotapes are on hand. Personal papers and collections from Reagan’s eight years as Governor of California are housed as well.

The museum displays permanent exhibits and rotates other ones on a routine basis to highlight key pieces.

Visitors will start their tour with an exhibit that showcases Reagan's childhood and continues through his acting career, military service and though his political career.

On display are various items used during Reagan’s first gubernatorial campaign, including his 1965 Ford Mustang and the desk he used as governor.

In the gubernatorial gallery, continuous footage is played of the assassination attempt on Reagan by John Hinckley in 1981, and his inauguration suit, and a table from the White House Situation Room.

There is also an exhibit about the proposed Strategic Defense Initiative to help visitors understand the tensions Reagan faced while bringing down the Soviet Union and ending the Cold War. Perhaps one of the most interesting displays is a full-scale replica of the Oval Office that allows visitors chance to step inside the office of the world’s most powerful leader for a moment.

At right: A large piece of the Berlin Wall located on the Reagan library grounds.

Other offerings focus on Reagan's ranch, the presidential retreat at Camp David and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

Inside the Air Force One Pavilion, is President Johnson’s Marine One helicopter, a presidential motorcade featuring the 1982 presidential parade limousine, various Los Angeles Police Department cars and motorcycles, and a 1986 Secret Service vehicle.

Regardless of political views, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Center for Public Affairs is a must see.

It offers a fascinating look into the life of a president and the amazing responsibilities of the position.

The library is located at 40 Presiden-

tial Dr. Simi Valley. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week except major holiPHOTO COURTESY OF USAF.COM days.

Admission is $16 for adults, $9 for children, with those under 11 years $4 and under four are free. Seniors 62 and older are $13 and parking is free.

Please call ahead to verify operating hours.

Fish & Game

Bringing fish and game back from Mexico Q&As from the California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife

BY CARRIE WILSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Question: I fish in Mexico and have a question regarding bringing them back to the U.S. I saw a statement on Facebook where the poster said we cannot bring cowcod or fillets into U.S. waters even if we have a signed declaration to present with the fish. Despite the fact cowcod are not legal to possess in California, they are legal to catch in Mexico.

I would like to know if this is true as many things posted on the Internet are not always correct. If it is correct, is this also true for the other three protected rockfishes – canary, yelloweye and bronzespot-

ted rockfish? If I take a legal Mexican limit of five bocaccio, would I be limited to bringing only three back into California? Also, I hunt in Mexico where it is legal to take 60 doves. At the border, could I declare the 60 doves when I cross the border or would I only be able to have the California limit of 10 doves? What are the laws? Since I am hunting and fishing in another country and abiding by their laws, do I have to also abide by California laws when I import game from another country?

(Randy H.) Answer: It is unlawful to import or possess birds, mammals, fish, reptile or amphibian taken from outside of this state unless the following requirements are met (as per Fish and Game Code, section 2353): • The animals were legally taken and legally possessed outside of

Photo courtesy of California Dept of Fish and Wildlife P/V Thresher patrols Southern California ocean waters down to the U.S. -Mexico border and out to 200 miles offshore. this state.

• California and federal codes and regulations do not expressly prohibit their possession in this state.

• A declaration is submitted to the department or a designated state or federal agency at or immediately before the time of entry, in the form and manner prescribed by the department.

Therefore, even if the fish were legally taken in Mexico but are prohibited here in California, then they cannot be

brought back here. This means while cowcod, canary, yelloweye and bronzespotted rockfishes may be legally caught and possessed in Mexico, they cannot be brought back to California. Filleting is also not allowed in Mexico, so no fish taken in Mexico can be brought back to California in a filleted condition.

There is an exception for migratory gamebirds.

Migratory gamebirds, such as doves, taken in Mexico fall under the federal migratory bird

regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 50. Federal regulations allow importation of doves from Mexico “not to exceed the maximum number permitted by Mexican authorities to be taken in any one day: Provided, that if the importer has his Mexican hunting permit date-stamped by appropriate Mexican wildlife authorities on the first day he hunts in Mexico, he may import the applicable Mexican possession limit corresponding to the number of days actually hunted during that particular trip.”(see CFR section 20.61.)

Declaration for entry forms can be found online atwww.dfg.ca.gov/enfor cement/.

Trolling for salmon Question: There is a one rod per angler rule in Monterey Bay. This last weekend while trolling with my husband for

salmon, we had three fish on board and needed one more for the two of us to have limits. My question is, do we need to fish with just one rod as one of us has a limit, or may we fish with two rods until we catch one more fish? (Donna S.) Answer: You can use two rods until you catch your final fish because boat limits apply in ocean waters. When there are two or more persons who are licensed or otherwise authorized to sport fish in ocean waters, fishing by all authorized persons aboard may continue until boat limits of finfish are taken and possessed aboard the vessel (CCR Title 14, section 27.60(c)).

CARRIE WILSON is a marine environmental scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. 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.

Celebrity chef Aaron Sanchez shares his favorite weeknight recipes, which use easy, flavorful ingredients to get families out of the kitchen and at the table in record time. "As a chef with a young family, I love creating delicious dishes that are quick and easy to prepare," Sanchez said. "My new Ortega recipes bring that flavor and simplicity together. Enjoy."

Practical Money Matters

Your financial life after graduation

BY JASON ALDERMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

To the millions of college and high school seniors who recently graduated (and to their parents, who weathered the ups and downs of reaching that summit): congratulations on a job well done.

After the celebration dies down, you'll no doubt be eager to embark on life's next chapter, whether it's finding a job, preparing for college or enrolling in military or community service.

Before you jump in feet first, however, let me share a few financial lessons I learned the hard way when I was just starting out. They might save you a lot of money in the long run and help you get closer to your life goals, whether it's buying a house, starting a family or even retiring early – as far off as that may sound.

Graduates need to plan for their financial future Continued from Page 13

nance.gov/students.)

After you've factored in rent, car payments, renter's and car insurance, credit card charges, student loan balances and other monthly bills (not to mention payroll taxes such as Social Security tax, which went up 2 percent this year), your new salary probably won't go as far as you'd like, especially if you're trying to save for one of those life events.

That's where a budget can help. Numerous free budgeting tools, including interactive calculators, are available at such sites as the government-sponsored MyMoney.gov (www.mymoney.gov), the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (www.nfcc.org), Mint.com (https://www.mint.com) and Practical Money Skills for Life (www.practicalmoneyskills.com), a free personal financial manage-

ment program run by Visa Inc. Next, know the score, credit-wise. Many people don't realize until it's too late that a poor credit score can trash your financial future. After you've missed a few loan payments, bounced some checks or exceeded your credit limits, you'll probably be charged higher loan and credit card interest rates and offered lower credit limits (if not denied credit altogether), unless and until you can raise your credit score. You may even have to pay higher insurance rates and harm your ability to rent an apartment or get a cell phone.

To know where you stand, review your credit reports from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) to find out whether any negative actions have been reported and to look for errors or possible fraudulent activity

on your accounts. You can order one free report per year from each bureau if you order them through www.AnnualCreditReport.com; otherwise you'll pay a small fee.

To learn more about credit reports and scores, visit the CFPB's "Ask CFPB." Another good resource is What's My Score (www.whatsmyscore.org), a financial literacy program for young adults run by Visa, which features a free, downloadable workbook called, "Money 101: A Crash Course in Better Money Management," and other free tools.

You worked hard to graduate. Just make sure you don't sabotage your efforts by starting out on the wrong financial footing.
