My client was adamant that she wanted to buy her next home with 20% down on a 20-year loan. After an hour’s consultation, we didn’t end up anywhere near that. Why? She told me what was important to her, so we arranged her financing to match what matters most. For context, she’ll be buying a home for $140,000 and may move in the next three years. With 20% down on a 20-year loan, she’d be spending about $32,000 cash to acquire the property with a monthly expense of around $913. When I ran an amor...
First of all, I want to wish a “Happy Mother’s Day” to all mothers everywhere from Hilltop Welcoming Service. I hope all of you have a very special day. Over the years, Roberta and Dennis Springer loved coming up to Tehachapi from the Antelope Valley to visit Roberta’s sister, Cristina McKee, a local artist who at the time was associated with Gallery and Gifts. In December 2013, they finally had the opportunity to move here and found their home in Sand Canyon. They are celebrating their 25th an...
Spring is here, so no more clinging to the remote saying, “I’ll go out as soon as the snow melts.” he snow has melted and now it is yard shape up time. The first look at the yard after winter is sobering. It is brown and untidy, but it doesn’t take much to get it back in shape. Remember, it’s only eight weeks until the Fourth of July and having the best yard for the BBQ is a priority. At Pioneer True Value Home Center we have what you need to revive your lawn, fix your sprinklers, replant b...

Police Chief Mike Grant made a presentation, Gangs 101, to Neighborhood Watch group on Wednesday, April 23. In addition to gangs locally, Grant detailed the various gangs on the west coast, how to spot them and their organizational structure. He noted that most gang members are quite passive to the general public so as not to attract attention. However, they can become aggressive if provoked. Currently there are no major gang problems in Stallion Springs but it is always good to be vigilant....

Hundreds of local folks brought in sofas, hot water heaters, washers, dryers, computers, TVs and boxes of documents for shredding to one of four locations in Bear Valley Springs, Golden Hills, Stallion Springs and the City of Tehachapi. According to Neil Agness, with Alianza (Electronic Waste) Recycling, "People brought in hundreds, maybe thousands, of old...
I recently saw an ad video on Facebook that was a bogus job listing with video interviews. As you heard the description of job requirements, lack of pay, ridiculous hours and the applicant's reaction, it seemed like an impossible position to fill. Of course by the end you learned that it was the job of being a Mom. My daughter sent it to me as a way to say "Thank you, for all that you've done in my life". Well, I would not be half the mom I am if it was not for the role model of my own mother. A...
Ahhhhh, Mother’s Day is here again, the one day a year when we celebrate our mothers. Really…that’s all we get?... One Day? Well that’s better than zero days isn’t it. I think mothers should be celebrated every day – not just because I am one, but because they are the heroes of our lives from the beginning to the end. Whether we are talking about stay at home Moms or working moms, new moms or old moms... they are all heroes on a daily basis, doing the things no one else will do, the things no o...

My supposed-to-be-ticking motherly stopwatch seems to have cool jets for a woman of 30. I suppose my biological instincts to coddle and coo are aptly fulfilled through my job: I work at a daycare center, and once you read the following list of "notable events" from my day today (and typical of most every work day), maybe you'll understand why I have decided I don't necessarily need kids of my own. Dudley was running to catch a ball I threw to him and tripped over his own goofy feet, landing in...
Hip Hip Hooray! They're Coming Home! A problem has arisen as a result of the drastic cuts the government has chosen to make by discharging great numbers of our military: coming home may not be as exciting as it used to be. Of course, coming home to family has got to be one of the greatest feeling in the world to both military personnel and their families. At some point a cold hard fact rears its ugly head for many: You don't have a job once you get home! OMGG (oh, my goodness gracious), what do...

While looking through files of my mother – Marion Deaver –, I found some old bulletins from the Kern Antelope Historical Society, this one from 1972. This story was a follow up from an article written by John Covington that was included in the 1965 publication of “Bears, Borax, and Gold.” That article was about John Searles and his fight with a bear. This one is also about the same bear. John Covington was the great uncle of Dorene Settle, one of the founders of the historical society. In the ea...

The breakfast, attended by civic leaders, featured readings and prayers by pastors Dr. Marvin Slifer of Mountain Bible Church,...
Lawman in the air The Tehachapi Police Department outfoxed several men who thought it was amusing to shine a laser light at a pilot landing at Tehachapi Municipal Airport on the evening of Sunday, May 4. The pilot was temporarily disoriented by exposure to the laser, which bounces around the cabin and creates upheaval. He contacted Tehachapi police. TPD Officer Chris Boston went aloft with the pilot in an attempt to draw the laser. After 20 minutes, the laser again targeted the aircraft. TPD...

Soledad Mountain rises above a sea of wind turbines in Mojave, seen from Oak Creek Road. The barren, rugged mountain harbors veins of gold and silver that individual miners and companies have dug for more than a century. With modern extraction techniques, the Golden Queen Mining Co.
