Trains have been traditional gifts for young and old alike. The Tehachapi Loop Railroad Club would like to share their toys with all of you at their Summer Model Train Show to be held on Saturday, August 9th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, August 10th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Listen to the whistles, bells, huffing and chuffing as you watch the operating layouts in Lionel, HO and N Modules. It's a fun time for the public as well as the modelers. There will also be a promotions table, featuring...
The Stallion Springs Police Department announces the formation of a citizen volunteer group. This volunteer group, called the Citizen Service Unit (C.S.U.), is modeled after other volunteer groups operated by most law enforcement agencies in Kern County and across the nation. The founding group is comprised of six members from the local community in Stallion Springs. Each member was chosen after completing a selection process conducted by the Police Department. Members then attended the Kern...
For the past several years, the County has adopted our final budget in August, after the County accounts for all of its "carryover" funds (monies left over from the previous fiscal year), and more accurate projections on property tax revenue are completed. This has allowed the Board of Supervisors to make budgetary decisions with the most complete and accurate financial information. In prior months, all County departments were asked to prepare their budget requests for Fiscal Year 2014-15 with...

It is no secret to many of us in the great state of California that the proposed high speed rail system could very well be called a colossal ‘Browndoggle’ without getting too many fingers wagged in one’s face. Alas, it is neither my job nor inclination to editorialize the pros and cons of such matters in the brief 700 words I have been allowed in my favorite small town paper. Let’s just say, for the sake of brevity, that California’s high speed rail system becomes a reality, what will this brav...
Just like a well known American truck, your body is built to last. But if it’s built to last, why do so many people have serious problems with their bodies? If a human body is built to last, why does it seem to break down so easily? The drug industry earns billions of dollars per year profiting from the tendency of so many people to suffer from debilitating diseases. For example, osteoporosis affects more than 10 million people in the United States, mostly women. The condition involves loss o...
In the last Sky Watch article we were trying to wrap our minds around what we see when we look toward the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. As I explained, we live amongst a swirling disc of stars with a gigantic bulge in the middle, at the center of which is a supermassive-black hole, which has been devouring all that ventures near it for billions of years. Most of our view in that direction is blocked by the clouds of dust and gas that will one day be the stuff of new stars and planets. As I...
Years ago my home state of Minnesota was experiencing a drought. Imagine that-a state with 11,842 lakes experiencing a drought! I know the license plate says "Land of Ten Thousand Lakes" but I'm sure being typical Minnesotans they were hesitant to guess and more hesitant to brag-so instead of 11,842 it was a modest 10,000. But, the drought made an impression on me that water was precious. With California in a severe drought the new technology being developed to fill our need for water has...
Graves disease is an autoimmune disease, which is a disorder characterized by the body not recognizing itself, causing it to attack its own tissues and cells. Graves disease most often affects the thyroid gland causing it to be overactive, to swell larger than it should be, and can lead to hyperthyroidism (the thyroid producing an overabundance of thyroid hormones). The thyroid gland regulates things like weight, mental energy, mood, and physical energy. Symptoms of Graves disease can range...
The advantage, some days, of living in a small town is that neighbors can be helpful when you are trying to do something like lose weight or exercise more. I am learning to ride a three wheeled cycle for physical therapy and those using the same street I do often tell me how much better I am getting. It is a lie, but it does make me feel like trying harder. In our current times, it is sometimes easier to complain about or point out the fault of others than it is to say choose the right words that will make them feel better about themselves. As...
With summer in full swing it’s time to take a look at some of the delicious options we have available to us. We can always fall back on Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and there’s a reason why these wines are so popular, but don’t we all enjoy a change now and again. They say variety is the spice of life, and I for one believe that is absolutely true. Especially when so many wines that fly under the radar remain compelling bargains! I advocate drinking simpler wines to make the better wines...

The Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association is proud to provide the community of Tehachapi and its surrounding areas with quality rodeo entertainment at family affordable prices.

On Saturday, August 16, immediately following our PRCA Rodeo, we will host an old-fashioned country dance to which the proceeds...
Effective January 1, 2001, Business and Professions Code Section 6400 et seq. redefined “paralegal” to mean only those who work for and are supervised by attorneys. A “legal document assistant” is authorized under California law to prepare legal documents for consumers. Paralegals may not work independently for consumers. What can a Paralegal do? A paralegal assists an attorney in preparation of legal documents, gathering facts, performing research, interviewing witnesses, and other tasks a...

Stop by and discover La Bella Amore. We offer a full Italian menu of delicious homemade items all handcrafted fro...
On S. Dennison Rd. The modern sport of rodeo is exciting and action packed. It is a piece of American history that can be traced back to the 1700's when cowboys from local ranches gathered together to show their roping and riding skills. The duties on these early ranches included branding, roping, horse breaking, riding, and much more. These ranch chores would evolve directly into today's rodeo events of tie-down roping, team roping, and bronc riding with the other events expanding on the ideas...

She makes each song her own with her wonderful full-bodied alto voice. Pat wrote the much-requested Teh...
