Just when you thought the worries of tax season were behind you another concern raises its ugly head. I have recently received several calls from clients and others asking about calls they have received from someone claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Keep reading...
I still remember as if it were yesterday. My grandfather made us kids the deal of a lifetime. If we were up and dressed before the sun, he would reward us with a trip to the donut shop. I can still remember barely sleeping in anticipation of our trip to the donut shop the next morning. Keep reading...
I began my educational journey six years ago with and positive end in mind. And now that I have reached my destination, I can’t begin to describe the emotions of humility and gratitude that remain. A week ago I officially earned a bachelor’s degree in business - with an emphasis in organizational leadership. Keep reading...
A wise man once said, “I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in.” There are so many things in this world which provide contentment. When I was a small child, my favorite outdoor game was hopscotch. Keep reading...
The holiday season for most is a time of peace and goodwill filled with the resounding laughter of those we hold dear.

Congressional candidate Amanda Renteria likes to pray occasionally, but apparently doesn’t like unknown persons taking photos of her and asking questions while she’s doing it. Such is the state of American politics, when Republicans and Democrats employ these so-called “trackers” to follow candidates on the campaign trail, hoping to catch them in embarrassing moments that can later be used in a campaign ad or commercial. Keep reading...
Lemoore’s city council is starting to make Congress look good, which isn't easy to do. House Speaker John Boehner is thinking about sending Mayor Billy Siegel a thank you note. Lemoore’s city leaders, at least some of them - because councilmembers Eddie Neal and Willard Rodarmel refuse to drink the Kool-aid - seem intent on turning our city into a laughingstock, a community devoid of sensibility and farsightedness - sort of like Washington D.C.
