Antibiotics don’t work for cold and flu symptoms, however many doctors still prescribe them. According to a recent study published by the British Medical Journal Lancet, about a third of the patients who go to their doctor for upper respiratory tract infections are diagnosed with acute rhinosinusitis (cold), and 80% of those patients receive antibiotics, even though doctors don’t have a clear distinction between a viral or a bacterial infection. Why is this an important distinction? It’s impor...
This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. If you’re an older member of Generation X – that is, if you were born in the early- tomid-1960s – you may have a lot of “balls in the air.” You are saving for your own retirement – which might not be that far away – while at the same time possibly wanting to help pay for your children’s college education.

They celebrate life and they celebrate each other. The center is a place where you can improve your mental and physical fitness, have...
Think about bees the next time you eat an almond or bite into delicious Tehachapi fruit. These small hard working insects actually make it possible for many of your favorite foods to reach your table. Bees are pollinators and they transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross pollination helps at least 30% of the worlds food crops. Without bees to pollinate many plants would die off. If you are interested in attending a meeting...

At Windswept Ranch, this time of year, we get more calls about fawns from Bear Valley than from any other area in Tehachapi. I think that just shows how much Bear Valley's residents care about their deer, so this seems a great time to remind everyone how to act when encountering deer. First, and foremost, please remember that these animals are wild! That cute spotted fawn, is a very important part of California's eco-system. They are animals native to our region and have been here longer than...

Opening at 5 p.m. on the Fourth of July at Coy Burnett Stadium is our very own "Movin' On". One of the first things we are always asked at a gig is, "Where are you guys from?" When we answer "Tehachapi!" people are surprised. Obviously, they are unaware of the deep pool of artistic talent found here in our mountain home, and "Movin' On" is proud to be a part of Tehachapi's rich musical tapestry. Our band members all met here in Tehachapi having played with other bands prior to becoming members...

The sport of bull riding has always been a true favorite among the rodeo crowds. Brave cowboys climb aboard a bucking bull that is over 2,000 pounds of muscle and bad attitude. The bull's goal from the moment the chute opens is to spin, twirl, buck, and jump to send its rider sailing through the air. Jeff Davis and the Four Star Rodeo Company out of Cottonwood, California raise the bulls supplied for the 17th Annual Benz Bad Bulls Tour. These bulls come from champion stock, known for their natur...
