It’s less prevalent than it was before, but sometimes you still see listings where the seller has an established relationship with their own title and escrow company. Oftentimes this would be a bank or an investor who might do lots of deals so they like to use “their own team”. Usually these companies are outside of Kern County. Here’s why you should care. Sellers aren’t allowed to force you to use their chosen companies, so there is always disclaimer language somewhere. It might say something a...
Gary and Jenelle Wilcox had lived in their Bakersfield house for twenty years when they began looking for a place to retire. They loved the idea of having four seasons so Tehachapi caught their attention. In April they rented their Bakersfield house and moved into their new Tehachapi home. Jenelle was raised in Bakersfield and although she says that she is a retired cosmetologist, she does not appear to be really retired. She is a Certified Children’s Etiquette Instructor and owner of Etiquette Essentials of Bakersfield. I honestly didn’t thi...

Thinking about adopting a dog or a cat? Have a Heart Humane Society would like to pass on some information that we hope will be helpful. Should you buy from a breeder or a pet store, adopt from a shelter or from a pet rescue?

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 14:15b) Are your feet beautiful? Mine aren’t. I have injured toes from hiking and running and occasionally wearing ridiculous women’s shoes. Have you ever looked at the feet of professional dancers? They are pretty ugly. My beloved sacred dance instructor, Carla DeSola, had the most worn mangled feet and worn shredded bible I have ever seen. She could dance and interpret scripture through her graceful body like nobody else. T...
When I finished my last column on Peter Lebec I thought I had put him to rest. That is, until I received a phone call from local historian Del Troy. She told me she had some more information concerning the mystery surrounding his death. I met her at the Tehachapi Museum and she showed me a book, one of several volumes written by Bonnie Ketterl Kane entitled, “A View from the Ridge Route, Volume One: The First People. “ For those of you who are too young to remember, the Ridge Route was the ear...

Community parks and recreation are great places to get outdoor time and time spent outdoors is good for us. But are we even going outside regularly t...
It 1950, when I began living in the Southland, it was, and still is, 200 miles from Oceanside, California to Tehachapi and if I had a dollar for every time I have made the trip I would have a comfortable amount. At first, our trips consisted of getting into my husband’s 1947 Buick Roadmaster and taking off. It was a lovely car; one that he acquired during his bachelor days while still an Enlisted man in the Corps. Highway 101, between the two points, at that time, was a three lane affair. The mi...

A monthly brief helping to keep you informed and keep in touch....
A fish’s survival depends on its keen senses, including hearing, sight, movement, touch, taste and smell. Anglers pay a great deal of attention to this sensory world too, such as the visual qualities of lures, size, shape and color. They also pay attention to sound and movement. However, most anglers do not pay much attention to smell, even though fish respond to and utilize these scents as a way to find food and avoid danger. In short, anglers might catch more fish if they were more aware of t...

Why save for retirement? Because people are living longer. According to the U.S. Administration on Aging, persons reaching age 65 have an average life expectancy of an additional 19.2 years.* And since Social Security accounts for only about a third of total aggregate income for aged persons,** Social Security alone may not be enough to see you through your retirement years. Keep in mind... • A well-diversified portfolio can help balance risk • The earlier you start investing, the more you can contribute over the course of your working lifetime...
The Tehachapi Unified School District’s new math text books based on the Common Core standards appear to be well constructed and free of the impediment of incoherence that parents and opponents have discovered in some states. The subject matter is thoughtfully and cleverly linked to other areas of learning and to the broader world. The Environmental Science book for a new high school class of the same name, on the other hand, may disturb some parents who are not comfortable with the activist d...
