	Be your neighbor’s keeper I grew up in a small town. Now, I know native Turlockers like to think this is a small town, but they’re wrong. The population of my hometown was around 3,000 when I was living there; it’s over 4,600 today. Turlock boasts a population of over 68,000. Enough said. The best part of living in a truly small town is the security. I never locked the door to my house — or car, ... Read More 0 Comments Posted: jan. 27, 2012 9:02 p.m.
	Small claims—big headache Why is court so complicated? I just feel the frustration ooze out of the small claims litigants. Most folks who sue in small claims court sue on “principle” and firmly believe that they are in the right. The judge, however, must follow the substantive law. In small claims court, it is the legal procedures that have been modified or set aside to give folks easier access to the Courts. People are also mistaken ...

	Take a break and spur the economy I love vacations. Unfortunately, my desire to travel the world far exceeds my financial means and time availability to do so. Don’t get me wrong I still travel, just on a smaller scale and not as often as I’d like. When I finally do get away, I feel guilty about the money I spend and my absence from work.

That's why it's sometimes more effective to teach children health science information rather than to do outreach aimed directly at their parents. Read More 0 Comments Posted: jan. 17, 2012 9:23 p.m.

	Nothing new under the sun Out with the old, in with the new. That is the rallying cry for many come January. I’m not quite sure about the “out with the old” part, but in 2012 the Journal is bringing in new — and hopefully exciting — features for our readers. One of the most interactive projects the Journal is undertaking this year is our Readers Recipe Book. Throughout the year, the Journal will be collecting recipes from ...

	The worth of water According to the "Longman English Dictionary," a New Year's resolution is "a decision to do something better or stop doing something bad in the new year." Not surprisingly, New Year's resolutions generally serve only as broad ideals that individuals fabricate in an attempt to freshen themselves for the new time period; exercising more, controlling expenses, or simply behaving nicer constitute the main desires. Despite the truth that such resolutions rarely survive the temptations that unfold, ... Read More 0 Comments Posted: jan. 10, 2012 11:16 p.m.
