After closed session deliberations, following the nearly three and a half hour May 8 School Board meeting, the Tehachapi School Board unanimously chose JMS Principal Paul Kaminski to serve as the Interim Superintendent for the District.

I admit it, I'm not real big on housework. I do it as little of it as possible. Okay, okay, really, I HATE HOUSEWORK! But houses need work, and every now and then I find I have to do some (more) cleaning. I really identify with the saying "I dusted once and the dust came back; I'm not falling for that again!" and I try to put it off as long as possible...and usually until I'm expecting company. In fact, I wonder if my house would ever really get cleaned at all if no one ever came over. Probably...
Doug Clipperton, Mojave Chamber of Commerce President, has shared some exciting war stories about his father, Eldred N. Clipperton, U. S. Army Air Corps B-17 pilot. Recently, Doug's brother came across a hand-written list of 31 missions flown by their father, from February to March 1945. The missions were on an almost daily basis over targets in Germany. Lt.

They come in all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Mothers, of course. I had half-a-dozen children and each one has always managed to make me glad, sad, proud, amazed and completely baffled at times. That's not counting all the times you worry about them. There is an invisible worry clause in every birth certificate. They always call me on Mother's Day though, and that makes everything OK. My grandmother, Minnie Anderson, had three sons serving "Over There" in World War I. Her son, my Uncle Ray,...

I walk the ranch every morning and every night just to check and make sure all is well with the critters. It is a peaceful time and I enjoy the quiet to just visit with my friends, the animals. This morning baby rabbits were scampering everywhere and it reminded me that it is that time of the year: The time when little ones are everywhere and I start getting phone calls, and this year is shaping up to be busier than usual based on the abundance of forage as a result of the rains. At Windswept...
