Tehachapi City Hall has received phone calls from at least two area residents who appear to have been targeted as part of scam, or at least an unethical business practice. The residents received calls from a person claiming to be calling on behalf of the City of Tehachapi that wanted to “put money in their pocket” and come to their house regarding a new energy plan we have. One of the residents said they hung up on the caller and that their caller ID came up as UNKNOWN. The other resident questioned the person regarding the fact that the Cit...
The little train circling above Tehachapi’s Original Apple Shed dining area has been on the blink for many months, leaving diners and their children disappointed! The Tehachapi Loop Railroad Club stepped up to the plate and came in while remodeling was going on. (Fixing the train was not an option while diners were dining below!) They analyzed the train and the track and went to work over several visits, donating their time, equipment and talents to this project. Most of the malfunction was d...
Last year the Bear Valley Springs Cultural Arts Association offered a variety of Insight Lectures. This year we are proud to present Bear Valley’s own Dan Bronson in a lecture entitled Chasing the Rainbow. Mr. Bronson has had extensive experience with Hollywood crowd and movie making. People have often asked him just how to break into that rarified atmosphere. This lecture will outline how he did it, with twists, turns and celebrity encounters. He earned his Doctorate at Princeton, and then taught English and American literature at De Pauw U...
The almost 165 acre property that was once home to a golf course, pool, driving range, tennis courts and a club house has long been a source of blight and concern for the residents of Golden Hills.

Who are these people strolling the streets of Tehachapi, looking a bit dirty, suntanned, bearded, having backpacks, close enough at the right time of day, body odors. PCT Packers they are. Trail mile 558 is at the Cameron Road and Willow Springs junction, 10 road miles east of Tehachapi. Most began their pilgrimage at the border of Mexico in mid April, and Tehachapi is only a few miles short of their first ¼ of the journey. Tehachapi is a way-point on the trail. Here they resupply, mail a...
I guess I spilled the beans about my method for getting Don to do most of the outside chores—I call it the “easy peasy” yard clean up method. It is the way I slowly ease out of the picture as he does the actual work without his noticing. But, there is an additional element that I also employ—I call it “Dazzled by Gadgets” where I introduce useful tools to make short work of any job through the fun of using gadgets. I first noticed the allure that gadgets had on my dad. If there was a gadget to...

Just outside the far eastern edge of Kern County in the northern corner of San Bernardino County, almost in Inyo County, is the unincorporated community of Trona. It was established in 1914 as a company town to mine the rich mineral deposits of the dry lakebed. Searles Valley Minerals owns the industrial operations there. There's nothing shiny and new about Trona; when Hollywood needs a visual and atmosphere of isolation and desolation, it looks to Trona. The community is 89 miles from...

Abernathy Collegiate Charter School, a free public school launched in 2013 amid some community opposition, has come a long way in banishing doubts about its viability. "We've been able to prove ourselves," Principal Shyanne Ledford said. "We have gotten a name for high standards and rigor." Abernathy, which is adding tenth grade to its sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades next year, is enrolling students until July 11 for the fall. "There is such significant interest that we may have to...
