A team of knitters has been busy making baby hats to be given to newborns in Uganda, Peru, and elsewhere. In developing countries, babies are often of low birth weight and hats help to keep them warm. Nearly 80 hats have been completed and have been on display in the sanctuary of Tehachapi Community Congregational Church for the last few weeks. All those hats were knitted by a small group of members and friends including Catherine Smirnoff, Carol Kemmerer, Carolyn Scott, Dalton Steele Reed, Claudia White and Jan Combs. They enjoyed the...

They are known as “The Greatest Generation” and on a recent trip to Washington DC with Kern County’s Honor Flight, I was able to discover firsthand how true this saying is. Honor Flight is a National non-profit organization that honors our veterans who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam by flying them to see the memorials built in their honor in Washington, DC. For a while now, I have been interested in this organization and as a prior member of the military (US Navy 2000-2004), a daughter of a Vietnam Navy Veteran (my dad served 1972-...
Thirty years ago, before computers, iPhones and Google, I was a stay at home Mom who enjoyed helping my two sons and their friends with school homework and special projects. Graduation time was approaching and some extra credit was needed for English for a couple of the kids and an essay on a historical person was needed by the next day! I loved research and history, so I assured them that this would be fun and easy! We all piled into the car and headed for the library. On the way, we were...

She offered a series of five classes/workshops regarding how to landscape with water conservation in mind. The five-week course was titled “Landscapes for the Future....

ISIS seems to hate everyone. And the victims seem lost somewhere in all this: Children being washed up on shore after trying to escape persecution. People fighting over i...
