AT&T Simi Valley Phon...
For an embarassing number of weeks, my phone service has been failing.  We went weeks assuming our phone was broken, only to replace it and find that we still couldn’t receive incoming phone calls. Disconnecting the house from the primary incoming line and still having our phone service fail was an indicator to me that the problem had to be addressed by AT&T.  And so begins my nightmare… A...

Simi Valley PD Contract Negotiations
I read an excellent editorial in the Acorn this morning. I’m a strong believer in the Simi Valley police force, but it’s sincerely unfortunate that the city employees and Police management (non union members) have agreed to small pay cuts while the Police Officers Association refuse to make a sacrifice.  I’m not privileged enough to know the details of what’s holding up the...

Community Medical vs. Regal Medical
The battle rages on between the two big medical groups in Simi Valley, Community Medical Group versus Regal Medical Group.  For me, Regal is the winner, getting our family to switch over when Dr. Whyte and Dr. Michaels made the switch to Regal. A friend sent me this run down of her problems with a back injury and her primary care physician at Community.  Effective September 1st, she became a Regal...
Glen Becerra Gets a Head S...
I don’t pretend to be an objective journalist on this site.  I express my opinions openly.  I’m a huge fan of Glen Becerra. My loyalty towards Simi Valley City Councilmember Becerra was solidified when he took out a full page ad in the Los Angeles Daily News encouraging shoppers to come to Simi Valley after the sales tax increase in LA County.  Regardless of whether or not you believe...
The Reagan Library’s...
As we know it, is the Ronald Reagan Library REALLY in the city of Simi Valley.  Technically speaking, the answer to that question is “no!”  Apparently, the Regan Library sits in an unincorporated area of the Tierra Rejada Greenbelt and is actually outside of the jurisdiction of Simi Valley.  I sure didn’t know that. I believe tonight is the night where the Neighborhood Council...

Regal Medical in Simi Valley
You may have noticed a hiatus in the volume of posts on this site.  The reason is that I’ve been preoccupied with my health over the past 7 – 8 weeks.  For years, I’ve suffered from chronic sinus infections that yield the typical symptoms, combined with severe sinus pain and frequent headaches.  Also for years, I’ve been trying to get a long term cure for this problem but...
Glen Becerra Jumps on Shop...
I am absolutely delighted by the recent news regarding Glen Becerra’s efforts to bring outside dollars into the City of Simi Valley!  This is truly what it’s all about right here.  If you haven’t already heard, here’s the deal… and I hope you love this just as much as I do. In response to the increase in sales tax to LA County residents who are paying nearly 10 cents...

Simi Valley Cajun Festival on Video
People regularly want to debate me when I tell them I’m proud to live in Simi Valley.  Here’s one of the strongest reasons to be proud.  It’s the annual Cajun Festival put on by the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise.  There’s more to it than just a weekend of fun.  The revenue generated by the Cajun Festival is donated to several charities.  What does it take to help those in...
