The Desert Rose Garden Club of California City (DRGC) has completed its first project for the year. The kiosk at the entrance of the city was built in 2016. The idea for the kiosk was that of Adam Barragan. He needed a task for his Eagle Scout Project. Adam raised the money, sought out volunteers and dedicated many hours to complete this gigantic kiosk. Eight years later it still stands to showcase our city to visitors. So how is the DRGC involved? We are constantly pursuing the "Beautify...
We are rapidly approaching Valentine's Day, and those of us in the floral industry have had this date on our radar for some time. We are gathering extra vases, counting out flowers, pre-ordering from our wholesalers and trying to prepare as much as possible in advance. The hope is that the week of, and the actual day, is as manageable as possible and that we have the supplies needed during a week when supply and demand drives prices upwards. Take red roses, for example – the most popular V...
What can be more romantic than the moon? That big mysterious orb shines softly down on earth in the darkness of night, while sliding translucent across daylight skies. Whether full or merely slivers of itself, the moon is surrounded by billions of stars holding the secrets of the universe close, while enticing lovers to embrace. February is the month of love, offering an abundance of flowers from florists, to grocery stores and street corners. There is candy too, especially tempting chocolates...
A 12-month series on intimacy, sex and desire will begin on Feb. 6 at the Healthy Hippie Trading Co., located in Old Town, Tehachapi. This series is the brainchild of Hippie owner, Sarah Rose, but she gives credit for its inception to the community. "I'm just here to give the people what they want," she said. "Be it tie dye apparel, healthy foods, metaphysical items...or a safe place to talk about taboo topics such as intimacy, sex and desire and a place to purchase intimacy items." Within the...

If you like motor sports, you live in the right place. Kern County is a motor-sports mecca with all the fantastic venues to watch racing. If you are a road racer, circle-track driver or like racing on a dirt, oval or straight line, you have lots of choices here. I have been around race tracks and airports most of my life as a photographer. My mom always said, "hanging around those race cars keeps you out of trouble. And those folks must have a great work ethic and have done well in life to have...

Valentine's Day, a day to celebrate love, is coming right up. And we all know what love is, don't we? Or do we? It's hard to define, for one thing. Love is something easier to describe than define, actually, although poets have been trying to do it for years. Some of them have done a pretty good job of it, too. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...." thanks to Ms. Edna St. Vincent Millay, or Shakespeare's "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" For most of us, whether we're poets or...
Fans of disaster movies or actor Jeff Goldblum may recall the iconic 1996 alien invasion film "Independence Day," which featured a pivotal scene where protagonist David Levinson, a cable company technician with a M.I.T. education, portrayed by Goldblum, utilizes an amateur, or ham radio, to contact his father with critical information about the invasion. Together they use ham radio to relay the information on an open broadcast to any who may be listening. While disaster films and zombie shows...
Last month I wrote about three instruments, the kazoo, armonica and banjo. The banjo was brought to America by slaves and had a strong influence on American music over the years. Given that February is Black History Month, I thought it would be interesting to continue the music theme focusing on African slave music and how it laid the foundation for most American music, especially blues, gospel and jazz. By 1860, there were roughly four million slaves in America. They brought with them a rich...
Approximately 20 years ago, the Rotary Club began its Senior Luncheon program in December, serving residents a full holiday meal, which included turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, dinner rolls, drinks and pumpkin pie. All free of charge. That first year we had eight people in attendance. Since that first luncheon, it has continued to grow until 2018 when we had over 300 attendees to serve. Many donations were made in order to serve so many people, including from...

His very creative antics that he displayed in his youth were early signs of...
A new art show has recently opened at Lancaster's Museum of Art and History (MOAH), and it's a good one. I really enjoyed viewing the various artforms when I went down there a couple of weeks ago. Called "Formation" the show features a number of ceramic sculptures and wall displays and offers some very unique pieces. The show runs through April 14, so you have plenty of time to see it if you're so inclined. Nine different artists are featured, including Kiel Johnson, Kevin Kowalski, Galia Linn,...
Participants at the sold out Rotary Wine Pairing Dinner were not disappointed by the wine, the food or the fun atmosphere created at the old Moose Lodge on the corner of F and Curry streets. After checking in, each person was sent to their assigned seat to get their first glass of wine, Eberle 2021 Reserve Chardonnay. This gave everyone a chance to mix and mingle, look at the 33 items on the silent auction table and purchase opportunity tickets for the incredible quilt specifically designed for...
