When people think of summer allergies, we think of sinus problems such as hay fever or meeting those plants which we don’t remember causing hives last year. There are other allergies which might be more problematic in the summer: food allergies. Summer is the time for traveling, exploring, and visiting, but when you or someone you love have food allergies, they can make this time, or any time, of year more adventurous. This is definitely not the time to be shy about asking questions. While parents can be very proactive for their children, a...
Heat wave. We’re having a heat wave! I’m thinking of summer songs when it might be cooler to be thinking about winter snow songs. However, the plants are growing like crazy, the flowers are blooming and ah, the cool down of the evenings. Pure bliss.

This month I want to share three YA books that are good reading for all age groups. And bes...
Near Coalinga (southwest of Fresno) back in 1948 a plane load of Mexican citizens were being flown to El Centro to be sent back to Mexico. The plane crashed in Los Gatos Canyon. Depending on where you lived the news didn’t have much coverage of the event, so when Woody Guthrie heard about it, no names were given. In his poem, “Deportee”, he said that “you won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane”. And for years the mass grave up in Fresno only listed “28 Mexican Citizens” on...
Get ready Tehachapi! We are embarking on a new venture in our small community. Honey Wagon Brewing will be Tehachapi's first craft brewery (nanobrewery to be precise) and is expected to be open to the public in early September. It's been an exciting and exhausting past few months and will be worth the wait. I know what some of you are already thinking (or saying on Facebook...wink, wink) so let me first address the elephant in the room. Our name. For those of you who have not had the pleasure...
Sierra blazes prompt health caution Several wildfires burning in the Sierra Nevada are bringing smoke impacts to the Valley air basin and local air officials expect this pattern to continue through the weekend. The French fire is sending smoke to mountain communities in Merced, Madera, Fresno and Tulare counties; however, wind shifts may bring smoke from the El Portal, Dark Hole and Sand fires to other parts of the air basin, including the Valley floor. Smoke from wildfires contains...
