WALL’S and Starkey: A match made in America. Wall’s Hearing Aid Center is proud to fit customers with American-owned and operated Starkey hearing aids. When you’re fit with a Starkey, you can rest assured you’re getting today’s best hearing science and latest microelectronic technology inside a precision instrument engineered to fit better, sound better and perform longer.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Shutting people out to avoid distractions, even under a deadline, can cause hurt feelings. Instead, return calls and emails, and explain why you need a zone of privacy for now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your good intentions could backfire if you're not careful with other people's feelings. Try using persuasion, not pressure, to get others to see your side of the situation.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although your keen Bull's eyes usually can discern what's fact from what's faux, that upcoming decision will need really solid data before you can risk a commitment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your dedication to finishing the task at hand is laudable. But be careful not to overdo the midnight oil bit. Take time for relaxation with someone very special.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) As your confidence grows, you should be able to work toward your goals with more enthusiasm. Open your mind to suggestions. Some of them might even work for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Although your intuition will help you make some tough choices in the first half of the month, you'll need more facts to back up your actions later on.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Reconnecting with someone from your past stirs up that old sense of adventure. But before you do anything else, be sure to get answers to those still-lingering questions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) All that hard work and research in the workplace finally pays off as you hoped it would. Ignore comments from jealous types who are out to get the Goat riled up.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Some people might resent the way you plan to resolve a difficult situation. But your commitment to making tough but fair decisions soon wins you their respect and support.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) An unfair decision creates unnecessary problems. But avoid anger and move carefully as you work this out. Expect to get support from an unlikely source.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Mixed signals could be causing that vexing workplace problem. Before you choose to leave the project, ask for a meeting so you can get things out in the open.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A fuzzy financial vista persists until midmonth, when things begin to clear up. You'll also gain a better perspective on how to handle those pesky personal problems.

On the Cover
‘Almost, Maine’ will open at the BeeKay Theater Jan. 18 BY KARL SCHUCK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The ultra-Romantic comedy "Almost, Maine," opens at the BeeKay Theatre Jan 18 for a three-week run guided by popular Tehachapi Community Theatre director Karl Schuck. John Cariani's script has been a stealth hit across the USA, and is currently one of the most produced shows across the country. "The story features 19 residents of the tiny town of Almost, situated in upper Maine. Each of the 9 couples are dealing with the magic of love made manifest in their lives. It's a perfect mood-setter for your Valentine's Day," noted Schuck. "Each of the stories has a special quirky magic to it. It's not an urban play, really, and it didn't do well in New York, but since then it has received hundreds much-acclaimed productions, leaving cheering audiences in its wake everywhere it plays. I think it's a perfect Tehachapi play, celebrating small town life." Shows are Friday and Saturday nights Jan 18, 19, 25, 26, Feb 1 and 2 at 7:30 pm, with Sunday matinees at 2 pm on Jan 27 and Feb 3. "Author Cariani is an actor, and originally wrote the scenes as audition pieces for himself and a partner, resulting in funny, moving and glorious moments. After all, who writes bad scenes for himself?" concluded Schuck.
Spencer James, Eric Leiss, Thaer Irvin, Rick Gould, Kendric Bertram and Emily Stults-Estrella all with long lists of TCT roles. Tehachapi resident James Carhart, a Hollywood and special events designer, is also making his TCT debut with sets and special effects. Lighting by JC Washburn, with other specialists including Jacob Witter, Doreen Burr, Jonathan Hall and Cody Steinbach. Tickets and more details at www.tctonstage.com
Featured in TCT's production of "Almost, Maine" are (l to r) Spencer James, Lucas Jochem, Rick Gould, Dave Shacklock, Monica Nadon, Heather Ringle, Daniela Peregrina and Emily Stults-Estrella. The romantic comedy opens Jan 18 at the BeeKay Theatre. Details at www.tctonstage.com (Photo by Gary Mazzola) While the cast contains a galaxy of familiar talents, such as Heather and Lanie Ringle, a mom and daughter team (who appear is separate romances) there are also many new faces making their TCT debuts including Lucas Jochem, Elmer Acevedo and
Christine Maag. Two recent additions to TCT's family are Daniela Peregrina who first appeared in last fall's Playwrights' Festival, and Opal Lawler who debuted in "A Christmas Carol." Among the tried and true are Dave Shacklock, Monica Nadon,
Playwright and actor John Cariani, perhaps familiar as CSU Tech Julian Beck on television's Law and Order, began work on "Almost, Maine" as audition scenes for himself. They later became the full-length romantic comedy that is among the most-produced plays in America at the present time. TCT's production opens Jan 18 at the BeeKay Theatre.

Health & Fitness Ask the Doctor
Best heartburn medicine? Cheapest one that works BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. KING FEATURES
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I need help with acid reflux. I have battled it for seven years, and until recently I have used Prilosec, but it has stopped working for me. I tried AcipHex and Protonix but didn't feel well when taking them. Now I'm on Prevacid. Is it
OK to take indefinitely? I wonder about Nexium. My doctor told me to take any acid reducer that works. What do you consider the best long-term

medicine? —F.H. ANSWER: Acid reflux, heartburn and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) are different names for the same thing — the upward splashing of stomach acid and digestive juices into the esophagus, the long tube that brings food from the throat to the stomach. The esophagus can't handle those corrosive juices, and the result is burning pain. Can you identify any food or drink that brings on your symptoms? If you can, eliminate it. Potential troublemakers are fatty foods, fried foods, spearmint, peppermint,
chocolate, tomatoes, citrus fruit and caffeine. You prevent nighttime heartburn by putting 6-inch blocks under the bedposts at the head of your bed. In that position, gravity keeps stomach acid in the stomach. Weight reduction almost always lessens symptoms. I like your doctor's approach. Use the cheapest medicine that keeps you free of pain. Antacids often can fit the bill: Tums, Rolaids, Mylanta, Maalox and the many others. The most effective medicines are those called proton pump inhibitors: Dexilant, Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix and Aci-
pHex, some of which are available without a prescription. They practically turn off acid production. Some doctors like to have their patients stop use after a year to see if symptoms remit. If they do, so much the better. Less expensive are Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac and Axid, which cut back on acid production and are obtainable without prescription. One downside of indefinite use of proton pump inhibitors is the possibility of vitamin B-12 deficiency. Acid is needed to absorb it. The same goes for iron, calcium and magnesium. The booklet on heart-
burn (GERD) explains this common condition in great detail, along with its treatments. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 501W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. © 2012 North America Synd., Inc., all rights reserved.
Prostate cancer support meeting will be on Jan. 31 Early detection, key words for the successful treatment of any cancer, including prostate cancer which is not easily detected. All too often, men regard the symptoms more as an annoyance, than as something to be worried about. Frequent urination (especially at night), urgency, hesitancy are among the early symptoms to be aware of. Ladies, if your man is experiencing any of these, worry about it! Years ago, the first
and (almost) only treatment for prostate cancer was a radical prostatectomy… radical meaning men were left with a very long scar and quite possibly, suffered longterm side effects such as incontinence and/or erectile dysfunction. Today there are a number of better options which are less invasive and have fewer side effects. They include: robotic surgery, cryosurgery, androgen deprivation,

external beam radiation, Brachytherapy. If you are about to make a decision on the treatment of your prostate cancer, you need to be aware of the many choices available to you. T-PCIG, Tehachapi Prostate Cancer Informational Group exists for the purpose of making good information available to anyone who needs it. If you are a man experiencing symptoms, or recently diagnosed; if you are the wife, or
mother, or sister of a man who needs more information about prostate cancer, you are invited to come to a meeting of T-PCIG. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month at the Tehachapi Hospital, 115 W. E Street. The next one is on January 31 at 7 PM in the Conference Room, just east of the Hospital Main Entrance.

expectations, we remain committed to our traditional responsibilities and to honoring our deep roots in California’s natural resources legacy.” Traditionally known as game wardens, the department’s law enforcement staff will now be called wildlife officers. Californians will notice new Internet (www.wildlife.ca.gov) and email addresses for CDFW employees. The old URL and email addresses will continue to work indefinitely. Many department materials will continue to bear the old name because AB 2402 reduced the cost associated with the name change by preventing CDFW from undergoing a wholesale turnover of materials, including signs, uniforms and supplies. The mission of the department continues to be “to manage California's diverse fish, wildlife, and plant resources, and the habitats upon which they depend, for their ecological values and for their use and enjoyment by the public.” In furtherance of that mission, the department carries out numerous responsibilities related to the commercial, recreational, educational and scientific use and enjoyment of California’s natural resources.

Journey
California Hot Springs offers a great day trip Just about a two hour drive from Tehachapi — and definitely off the beaten track — you'll find the familyfriendly California Hot Springs Resort, a perfect day trip destination. The historic mountain resort is within Giant Sequoia National Monument in the mountains of Tulare County. Nestled alongside Deer Creek, the resort features an olympic size pool and two spas that are filled with naturally heated water from nearby springs; in fact, they have to cool the water before it goes in the pool! There are changing rooms and access to the pool is for the day. A day pass for the pool and spa is $10 for adults and $5 for children. You can get a discount if you’re staying in the RV park across the street. California Hot Springs was founded in 1882 and developed as a health resort. In the early 1800s, the native Yokuts channeled the hot springs water into hollowed-out logs. They would then soak in these "tubs" to relieve the pain of rheumatism from
sleeping on damp ground. You'll find lots of history on the walls of the resort's recreation hall that was built in 1926 and restored and reopened in the mid-80s. A gift shop, store and deli round out the accommodations and there is an RV park across the road. And be sure you check out the giant water wheel on Deer Creek just outside the back door. Something to keep in mind — California Hot Springs Resort is always closed on Thursdays; otherwise, hours vary seasonally, so call ahead (661548-6582) to confirm hours. Or visit the website: cahotsprings.com. To reach California Hot Springs Resort from Tehachapi, travel west on Highway to Bakersfield, then north on Highway 99 to the Highway 65 (Porterville) exit; head north on Highway 65 to Ducor, then head east on Avenue 56, past the junction at Fountain Springs. The resort is just past the entrance (no admission charge) to Giant Sequoia National Monument.
Water from nearby hot springs actually has to be cooled before it goes in the pool at the California Hot Springs Resort, about a two hour drive from Tehachapi.
Fish and Wildlife
What can be done to control feral pigs? Q&As from the California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife BY CARRIE WILSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Question: Our class is working on invasive species and would really appreciate it if you could help us with one question. How does the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) help with the control of feral pigs? If you could email us back the answer, we would greatly appreciate it (The Alien Hunters or Pam K.). Answer: It is great to hear from young citizens who are interested in wildlife issues and are actively seeking to educate themselves about these topics! According to DFG Statewide Wild Pig Program Coordinator Marc Kenyon, the California Legislature in 1957 classified the wild pig as a game mammal which then allowed the DFG to manage them as wildlife and regulate their harvest. The DFG is the agency with responsibility over game animals in the state and because this classification is in
statute, only legislative action could change it. However, the California Fish and Game Commission, a separate entity, has recognized that damage from wild pigs does occur and to that end, a policy has been put into effect that states: "The wild pig population of the state must be controlled to minimize the threat of increasing damage to California's native plant and animals, to agricultural operations and to park and recreational activities from the foraging habits of the animals. Consistent with State law and regulations, the DFG will prepare and recommend to the Commission regulations which enhance recreational hunting and facilitate the issuing of depredation permits and/or other legally available means to alleviate this problem." Please visit the Fish and Game Commission's website to understand the difference between the Department of Fish
and Game and the Fish and Game Commission: www.fgc.ca.gov/public/i nformation/. Similar to the Commission, the DFG works to minimize the impacts pigs cause. To achieve this, we work with private citizens, other government organizations and natural resources conservation partners to, among other things: 1) curtail the spread of wild pigs; 2) protect agricultural, archaeological and environmental resources and private property from damage caused by wild pigs; and 3) facilitate the removal of pigs causing damage. To curtail the spread of wild pigs, our wardens enforce laws that
restrict the intentional movement of wild pigs from one area to another. We also enlist the help of sport hunters. By educating hunters about the locations of pigs in the state, we feel that we can direct hunters to areas of the state that either have new populations of pigs or serve as 'source populations.' To protect our state's precious resources and private property, we have worked with conservation partners and private landowners alike to facilitate the construction of wildlifefriendly but pig-resistant fences to exclude pigs from certain areas. For example, we are working with the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation to construct a fence that will exclude pigs from newly restored riparian habitat in Colusa County. The DFG may issue '”depredation” permits to authorize the permit holder to use lethal control methods to reduce the number of wild pigs on their property and in turn reduce the amount of damage caused. The DFG encourages property owners to allow sport hunters to hunt wild pigs. Based on surveys of sport hunters and returned sport hunting wild pig tags, the DFG believes that roughly 5,000 to 10,000 wild pigs are killed each year by sport hunters. Over the last 10 years, an average of 55,062 wild pig tags have been sold each year. This has resulted in average revenue each year of nearly $800,000, which helps to fund our management activities. As you can see, the State Legislature, the Fish and Game Commission and the Department of Fish and Game are dedicated to managing wild pigs to reduce their spread and the damage
they cause. We rely on our lawmakers to craft intelligent laws, our biologists to understand the species, and our wardens to catch the law breakers. We all work as one unit to control wild pigs.
Crab Hawk Traps Question: I bought a "crab hawk-like" castable crab trap at a major sporting goods store in Northern California. Can I use this in San Francisco Bay or in the ocean? I have used this same trap in Washington State. (Cris C.) Answer: No, crab hawk traps are not legal to use in California. For crab regulations, please check the crustaceans section of the current Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations booklet, available wherever sport fishing licenses are sold, at your local DFG office, and online at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations. CARRIE WILSON is a marine biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game. While she cannot personally answer everyone’s questions, she will select a few to answer each week. Please contact her at CalOutdoors@dfg.ca.gov.

Help for the common cold BY ANGELA SHELF MEDEARIS KING FEATURES
Like many people, I try different methods to avoid catching a cold or flu during the winter. Despite my best efforts, I often get a little “under the weather” during the month of January. This year I’ve decided to work on ways to boost my immune system before the worst part of the cold and flu season hits. “One thing to remember is that simple diet choices can boost our immune system,” said Susan Mills-Gray, Nutrition and Health Education specialist with University of Missouri Extension. Here are a variety of ways to help your immune system to work at peak performance. • Get plenty of liquids to help prevent viruses
and bacteria from taking up residence in your body. According to Dr. Riva Rahl of the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, “the mucus in your nose is actually one of the key physical barriers that keep germs out of your body. When you’re not well hydrated, it dries up and doesn’t provide that protection.” • Protein is a building block for a healthy immune system. Choose lean red meats, poultry and fish, dried beans and soy. You also can choose protein-rich plant sources with hearthealthy fat, like peanut butter and nuts. • Choose foods rich in vitamins C and E. These two antioxidant-rich vitamins protect cells — including those of your immune system — from damage by toxins in the
environment. Choose citrus fruits/juices, melons, mangoes, kiwi, peppers, tomatoes, berries, broccoli, cabbage, sweet/white potatoes, winter squash, leafy greens, almonds, hazelnuts, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, safflower oil, whole grains and fortified cereals several times a day. • Eat probiotic foods to help build up the good bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria play a role in helping fend off illnesses. Any fermented food is rich in this type of good bacteria, so choose yogurt, sauerkraut, tofu, brinetreated pickles and aged cheese at least daily. • Add a zinc-rich food to your daily diet to increase the production of white blood cells in your body. Research
shows that this effect can reduce the number of days you’ll suffer from a cold. Some foods rich in zinc are yogurt, lean red meat, poultry and fish, almonds, pumpkin seeds and fortified cereals. Thai Hot and Sour Soup Thai hot and sour soup contains spicy hot chilies and a burst of citrus to provide a boost to your immune system and some relief for cold and flu symptoms. • 1/4 pound small (30-35 count) shrimp, peeled and butterflied • 2 ounces thin, vermicelli noodles • 2 quarts chicken broth • 1 stalk fresh lemon grass, cut into 2-inch pieces, smashed • 1/4 cup Thai fish sauce (also called Nam Pla) • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes • 2 teaspoons lime zest • 1/2 small pickled or fresh jalapežo chili pepper, seeds and ribs removed • 2 slices fresh ginger, chopped or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger • Juice of 1 lemon • Juice of 1 lime • 1/3 cup fresh or drained

(Family Features) Sandwiches are a delicious, easy and affordable way to enjoy a healthy meal any time of day. From satisfying meat-and-cheese combos, to sandwiches piled high with savory vegetables, to the many “PB and” combinations, the possibilities for outstanding sandwiches are limitless. But all the deliciousness starts with one key, wholesome ingredient — bread. The complex carbohydrates in bread provide lasting energy that busy adults and youngsters need on a daily basis. A big key to maximizing your energy and health is taking a look at how you fill your plate in a balanced way. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA MyPlate program recommend eating six one-ounce servings of grain foods each day, half of which should come from whole grain sources. To help you and your family get your “daily fix of six,” the Grain Foods Foundation has partnered with celebrity chef and sandwich aficionado Bryan Voltaggio to create these sensational sandwiches. To find more great sandwich recipes, visit www.gowiththegrain.org or GoWithTheGrain on Facebook and Twitter.

Paw’s Q&A
Puppy-Mill dog not so chipper BY SAM MAZZOTTA KING FEATURES
The ins and outs of ePayments BY JASON ALDERMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Are you ordering far fewer checks for your bank account these days? Does a roll of postage stamps seem to last a lot longer? Like most people, you're probably performing many more financial transactions electronically, either by choice or because companies and government agencies have increasingly made it all but mandatory. For example, most gyms require automatic deductions from a checking or credit card account. Utilities, mortgage lenders, insurance companies and others strongly encourage electronic payments. And many states now distribute benefits like unemployment, child support and disability assistance using prepaid cards instead of paper checks. Electronic transactions have caught on because: • They're cheaper. Businesses save on the costs of printing, processing and mailing millions of paper checks and statements; and with first-class postage costing 45 cents, customers rack up savings over time. And they save millions of tons of paper. • They're faster. Bill payments, funds transfers and direct deposits to your bank account or prepaid card occur the same day (often instantly), versus being delayed in the mail. And, if you sometimes forget to mail payments on time, auto payment protects against late fees and overdraft charges. • They're convenient. You can choose one-time bill pay, where you first review your bill and then authorize payment; or recurring bill pay, where your bills are paid automatically at a scheduled time – for either for the full amount (usually mandatory with utilities), the minimum payment due, or an amount you choose. You can usually have funds drawn from either your checking or credit card account (be sure to ask). • They're safer. Even in these hightech times, old-fashioned mail theft remains a major problem. For example, in 2010 more than 540,000 mailed federal benefit checks were
reported lost or stolen and had to be replaced. That doesn't mean electronic transactions are risk-free. As with email or any kind of online activity, you should take precautions to protect your computer (and cell phone) from being hacked. For example: • Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware software is up-to-date. • When making online payments, look for safety symbols like a padlock icon in the browser's status bar, an "s" after "http" in the URL, or the words "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL). • Review credit card and bank account statements regularly and report duplicate bill payments or suspicious/unauthorized charges to the card issuer. • Ask whether your credit or debit card offers "zero liability," which means you won't be responsible for unauthorized or fraudulent purchases. • Regularly order your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), and review for errors or fraudulent activity. You can order one free report annually from each at www.AnnualCreditReport.com, or more frequently for a small fee from each bureau. • Create complex, random passwords and change them regularly. Be a savvy consumer whenever using a bill-paying service: • Ask if any fees are involved. • Before signing the agreement, make sure you understand and accept the terms. • To stop service, you must notify the merchant as well as the bank/credit card company. Cancellation may take a month or two to become effective, so plan ahead. • If your payment card expires, the merchant will need new card information to ensure uninterrupted service. • Track expenses carefully and keep your budget up to date.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: This Christmas, we thought we bought the perfect puppy for our son. "Chipper" looked adorable and healthy at the pet store when we picked him out. However, a couple of days after we brought him home, Chipper got very ill; he was lethargic and vomiting. We took him to the vet right away, where he remains, recovering from several issues the vet said are typical of puppy-mill dogs. He also said that puppy-mill dogs can have behavioral problems as well. Now I'm not sure we should keep him. What should we do? -- Taken for a Ride in Pennsylvania DEAR TAKEN: OK, first off, please
keep Chipper. Even though he is not the perfectly healthy puppy you expected, it's not his fault. Furthermore, you made a commitment to bring a pet into your home, and you should stick with that promise. Second, you can complain about what happened. Complain to store management, write the corporate headquarters, if there is one, and complain to the Better Business Bureau. Pet stores and breeders must be licensed by the USDA to sell pets, and are supposed to be inspected regularly. You can contact the local SPCA, the Humane Society of the United States (hsus.org) or the ASPCA (aspca.org) if you think Chipper came
from a puppy mill. Again, please keep him if at all possible. Too many puppy-mill dogs wind up in shelters, or are euthanized, due to health and behavioral problems that their owners didn't want to deal with. If his health issues become overwhelming, talk to your vet about treatment and payment options. To head off potential behavioral problems, contact a dog trainer who has experience dealing with difficult dogs. Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Noteworthy Merger of Mojave and Mission banks will finalize this month Bakersfield-based Mission Bancorp (OTCBB:MSBC), the parent holding company for Mission Bank, has received final approval to merge with Mojavebased Mojave Desert Bank, N.A. (MOJA:OTC US) after Mojave Bank’s shareholders voted to approve the merger. Combined with FDIC and
DFI approvals, this sets the final stage for the merger to close this month. Upon completion of the merger, Mojave Desert Bank branches in Mojave, Ridgecrest, Lancaster and Helendale will become branches of Mission Bank expanding and strengthening the community financial services to cus-
tomers in the San Joaquin Valley, as well as the High Desert communities of Kern, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The transaction is still subject to customary closing procedures which will take place over the next couple of weeks. Earlier this year, the Findley Reports, a highly regarded industry organi-
zation that monitors California-based banks, called the merger a winwin for both Mission and Mojave. “This is a great way to bring in the New Year. We are pleased to add Mojave Desert Bank’s customers to Mission Bank’s financial family,” said Mission Chief Executive Officer Richard Fanucchi. “The combined two banks are uniquely suited to providing the personal attention that customers, particularly small businesses, have come to expect from these two institutions.” “The transaction will provide Mission Bank growth opportunities, while benefiting customers by improving effi-
ciency, increasing the availability of innovative financial products, and expanding the reach of Mission’s premium relationship based banking services,” said Mission Bank President A.J. Antongiovanni. “We are excited to be affiliated with a bank that has a similar philosophy of community banking and customer care,” said George Nagy, president and chief executive officer of Mojave Desert Bank, N.A. “Our customers will benefit from gaining access to a wide
range of products and services, while continuing to receive the same high quality of service they have come to expect. I look forward to working with Mission Bank and the opportunity to grow the customer base of our current branches.” Under the terms of the agreement, Mission will pay approximately $7,190,000 for Mojave Desert Bank, N.A. common stock. The consideration is comprised of $3,620,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, and 140,000 shares of Mission Bancorp common stock, which the parties have approximated the per share value at $25.50.
Grand Jury finds no problems at California City Police Dept. The Kern County Grand Jury recently released a report of the review of its Law and Justice Committee.
