  • Council adopts new district map

    Nick Tanaka, contributing writer|Apr 2, 2022

    The City of Tehachapi is getting a new redistricting map. Mitchell Pearce from USgeocoder was hired by the City to aid in redrawing the district lines following the 2020 census. Pearce said the goal of redistricting is to create districts based on efficiency of delivered city services and the fairness of voting or a "one person, one vote" mentality. This means aiming for the smallest deviation in population between districts and avoiding voter confusion from drawing them out of their district....

  • Rosamond's Cat House

    Mel White, contributing writer|Apr 2, 2022

    You don't have to be a crazy cat lady to enjoy visiting the EFBC's Feline Conservation Center – affectionately known both officially and unofficially as the "Cat House" – in Rosamond. In fact, it's a great place for the whole family to get together and spend some time. I got there recently at opening time (10 a.m.) on a mild winter morning, thinking that earlier in the day the cats might be more active than on a lazy summer afternoon, and indeed they were. Several were napping but several wer...

  • Get ready for spring planting

    Rick Gillies, Owner of Mountain Gardens Nursery and Pet|Apr 2, 2022

    First, I would like to address a recent problem with trees and shrubs in the area. Tehachapi is typically USDA Zone 8, which means the winter lows are in the upper teens, but this year we were 10 degrees Fahrenheit in town and some areas recorded -2 degrees. Some of the trees suffered frost burn. I get people in every day that ask, "What is wrong with my Cedar and Pine trees?" Thinking they have a disease or they didn't take care of them right. Well, I don't believe any of them actually died...
