Chris Daniel, the jovial host of KMJ's radio's afternoon talk show, became serious and sullen as he spoke about his dilemma. You see, Daniel has a predicament about his mother, who lives 3,000 miles away in New York City. "I've always been very close to my mom and dad," said Daniel, who at 54 has lived the typical relocation-filled life of a radio personality since 1984 when he launched his career after moving to Tucson, Arizona. "She's always had a razor-sharp mind, and...
The Heart of Seniors, a resource fair for seniors and their caregivers, is expanding for the upcoming event, moving to a new, larger location. "The success of our first event caused us to rethink our location needs, given the size of our audience and attractiveness of the inaugural event," said Shayna Fabre, president of the Senior Care Organization, which organized the event. The Heart of Seniors will be held on Thursday, Feb 12, at the conference center of the Holiday Inn...

As the year 2014 comes to an end and you think about next year, it is only natural to consider your resolutions. What will you do to better yourself? Your life? Your finances? Your family? Your health? So many times we think of very specific resolutions, such as this year I really will lose those 20 pounds. Let me offer a different way to consider resolutions. I discovered this approach while I was going through my cancer. I read about it in an airline magazine, while I was...
About 6 million people will pay a penalty in 2016 because they lack federally mandated health insurance, a new analysis shows. The previous estimate was that about 4 million people would be hit with the health insurance “tax” in four years. Beginning in 2014, the federal health care reform law – sometimes called “ObamaCare” – will require most legal U.S. residents to either obtain health insurance or pay a penalty tax. In 2016, that penalty will be $695 per person or 2.5 percent of a household's income, whichever is greater....
The Visalia Senior Center received more than $2,200 as a result of a fund raising campaign, courtesy of the coordinating efforts of Prestige Assisted Living in Visalia and several area companies.

When Tulare County was formed from the southern section of Mariposa County in 1852, Woodsville became the first county seat.

How the transfer of power happened is interesting, especially if early county settler Richard Chatten's version of the event is...
