This is the sixth article in a continuing series about local military veterans and their service to our great country. As always we begin at the beginning: Marsha was born in 1946 in a little town in Ohio. Her father, a former Marine who had served in the Pacific theater in World War II, passed away at the age of 34 (like many Marines, he had contracted malaria during the war, and that had contributed to his tragic, early death). Marsha was only 10 at the time and her mother, a stay-at-home...
When I was a child and we became ill, my mother took over with a few home remedies. If that didn't work we didn't exactly call the doctor, for in the mid-30s in Mojave, we had no phone. Not many people did. My brother would be told to run two blocks up the street to Doctor Warner's office/residence. Dr. Warner would come by in his old two door Model A Ford sedan. It was officially called the Model A Ford Tudor Sedan. A very handsome automobile but not the one owned by Dr. Warner. His wasn't an a...
The Antelope Valley Rural Museum received a welcome boost recently when Destination Lancaster donated $5,000 to help the museum expand its historical preservation efforts under a new roof at the AV Fairgrounds. In addition to AVRM officers, on hand at the fairgrounds for the check presentation were representatives from Destination Lancaster, as well as AV Fair board members.

Each fall, eighth through eleventh grade students across the United States have an opportunity to participate in The College Board’s PSAT testing services to prepare for the SAT College Entrance Exam. Students that participate in the PSAT assessments can determine if they have met or exceeded benchmarks in two categories which would indicate they are ready to take the SAT for college entrance and scholarship opportunities. Fall 2020 scores were recently released and 96% of the students at Herita...
As recent events would suggest, and as some of us forewarned, 2021 isn't all sunshine and roses, and it is painfully obvious we are in need, now more than ever, for the distraction and unifying comfort of local sports. Unfortunately, as we enter the time for restarting those contests as planned out by the California Interscholastic Federation months ago, that vision is not reality. Instead, parents and coaches are having to explain or at least attempt to justify the "guidance" out of Sacramento...

Drive with care! The elk and deer are enjoying the weather. Large groups have been spotted along Comanche Point Road near Longhorn Lane and in the area near Jacks Hill and Buckskin Dr. The lake is a good place for a drink and a bath to cool off. Be careful while driving through the area. They may be crossing the roads in groups or playing follow the leader with short distances between them. Beware of stopped cars and people watching them. Hazard Mitigation Plan Windy Benson, administrative...
At their first Zoom meeting of 2021 the Rotary Club of Tehachapi hosted speaker Col.

When the weather turns cold, soup calls my name! Vegetable soup, chicken noodle, tomato and split pea. Soup is like a warm cozy friend, wrapping itself around and warming the insides like a blanket, soothing with both its comfort to the body and the memories it brings of cold days from the past. My mother used to surprise me with a thermos full of soup instead of milk on the rainy days of February. Her gesture warmed my soul and I felt so special and greatly loved. The simple yet long lasting...
