Kern County Public Health has received confirmation of the first West Nile virus (WNV) infection in a person in Kern County this year. WNV is a disease spread by mosquitoes most often during the summer and early fall when WNV-carrying mosquitoes are most active. While many mosquito-borne illnesses such as WNV cause only mild symptoms in most people, the infection can cause severe illness and even death in rare cases. Up to 20% of people who become infected with WNV will have symptoms that may...

This past summer, TVRPD partnered with a number of local agencies that have not only strengthened our community but also saw the results of collaborative efforts in parks and recreation.

It's easy to overlook the importance of intimate comfort. For many, stress incontinence and other pelvic issues are uninvited guests at life's party, but what if we told you there's a way to show them the door and embrace a life of confidence and comfort? Stress incontinence is a condition characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing or exercising. While it can affect anyone, it is most commonly experienced...
The car pictured above is from a car club event awhile back at the Mojave Air and Space Port. The airport crew are pushing a 1980 European 308 GTS Ferrari. It's a carburatored car and you can see the tell-tale signs it's a Euro car by the rounded marker lights. The car has no 5 MPH bumpers, which were required in the USA for cars in 1980. Maintenance has always been extremely costly on any Ferrari. A great collector car for sure, but no daily driver in my opinion. They were having issues with th...
In 1913, a funding bill was passed to build a road from Bakersfield to Mojave to replace the wagon and horse trails that, at the time, were the only way in and out of the Tehachapi Valley.

Construction began in 1937 on a more modern highway, which took many years to complete. WWII took many of the able-bodied men away to the service, so prisoners were used for the...
