I am often amazed at the quality of work performed by the employees here at the City of Tehachapi. The work required in several departments is performed on a daily basis by educated and talented individuals that keep the City running. One of the more important areas is our water and wastewater operations. For you, the residents, you expect clean water to be in the tap, and wastewater to leave your homes and businesses in the City sewer system. One of the many tasks of a full-service City like...
Some years ago I shared a funny email with my mother titled "Things my mother taught me." She laughed as hard as I did because, after all, mothers are also daughters (my mother had the same sort of wonderful relationship with my grandmother that I had with her, and she learned the same lessons from her mother). And because I enjoyed the lessons I was taught, and I remember so fondly laughing with my own mother about this list, I want to share it once again with all of you in honor of the...

In my last column I discussed how the Golden Queen Mine was designated to be used as a bomb shelter in the event of a nuclear attack in 1961. I found an article my mother Marion Deaver had saved again from 1961 discussing evacuation plans for the Tehachapi Unified School District. The November article outlined how students were "currently undergoing extensive indoctrination on survival procedures." The District Superintendent Dr. Boyd Lehman wanted the staff and students to be prepared in case o...
Morale in America was low after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and something needed to be done to raise the spirits of the people who found themselves plunged into World War II. A U.S. Naval Submarine Officer was thinking way outside of the box when he proposed having land-based aircraft fly off of a Navy aircraft carrier and strike back at Japan. At the time, Chief of Naval Operations, Ernest J. King, had an unusual, but strategic vision that the Japanese were so focused and rig...
In 2012 the City of Tehachapi introduced a sponsorship program that allowed businesses, organizations, families or individuals to sponsor an American flag in downtown Tehachapi. The sponsorship program, known as the "Adopt-A-Flag" program, gives Tehachapi and its residents an opportunity to show off their pride and patriotism for America. The City has approximately 100 decorative light posts on Tehachapi Boulevard, Green Street, F Street, Curry, Robinson, and the Mill Street corridor right off...
A day filled with fishing, fun, and family time took place at the annual Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District's Spring Fishing Derby.
