The Tehachapi blood drive held Nov. 2 was again a huge success, with 87 people coming out to help save lives. Coming off a record turnout in September with 90 people registering and 75 completing donating blood products, this week donors braved the cold temperatures, and 65 successful donations of blood products were collected ranking as the second largest turnout in our three plus years of organizing community drives. "I now know not to be surprised at the turnouts for these blood drives, our...
The Loop newspaper has asked me to share some pickleball highlights from the past year and for future events, as interest in pickleball is growing rapidly across the country. Pickleball in Tehachapi is gaining momentum with players of all ages in leagues and tournaments. Tehachapi pickleball play can be found in Stallion Springs, at Tehachapi Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in Bear Valley Springs. The BVS Pickleball Club has grown from 40 members in 2021 to just over 60 in 2022...
Honestly I am at a loss for words. Rare for me right? I just finished the New York City Marathon and the emotions and gratitude are tough to put into words. Easier from a metrics standpoint to mention that I ran 26.2 miles from Staten Island to Central Park and through all five New York Burroughs. An incredibly difficult feat. This one was special, a reward of sorts for all the funds raised for Team World Vision during my Los Angeles Marathon quest earlier this year. With over $3,000 raised I...
I pretty much love all forms of live theater; I love going to (and occasionally being in) the plays at the BeeKay Theatre in Downtown Tehachapi. I also love to go out of town to see plays in bigger venues like the Lancaster Performing Arts or even to L.A. And I love going out of town to smaller venues too, like to the Gaslight Melodrama Theater and Music Hall in Bakersfield. By the way, a melodrama is defined as a "sensational dramatic piece with exaggerated characters and exciting events..."...
As the year winds down, your thoughts might drift to the future. And, as part of that future, you may be thinking of where your financial assets will end up. You've worked hard to accumulate them, and you'll certainly need some of them to support your retirement, but what about the rest? What's the best way to pass them on to your loved ones? There's no single path for everyone to follow. But you might consider establishing a trust, which offers some key benefits. For example, your estate can av...
I am so excited to announce that after over a year of planning, fundraising and negotiating, we finally have our permanent food pantry shed! We want to express our amazing gratitude to Cheers to Charity for their incredible grant of $10,000 to make this possible. Without these funds, we couldn't have even dreamed of receiving something so incredible! That being said, we had no idea the feat that it takes to purchase and move a shed of this magnitude, especially with the ever rising cost of suppl...
"I am not a camper" ... I heard myself say for over 25 years. When people would talk about their camping trips I would nod agreeably and remark how nice that was for them. To be honest, I was not interested! This did not mean I did not like nature. I absolutely enjoyed a beautiful view, going to the beach, walks in the park, biking and other nature infused trips on a small scale. I had no interest in bug bites, bedrock sleeping in a tent, whether it was in a sleeping bag, or on a rickety cot. In...
As everyone knows, the Reno Air Races, held each year in September, is a gathering of veteran aircraft and the elite pilots of the ages! When Dick Rutan sent this photo to me this year, my mind started racing with memories of these great men of aviation. I must confess that the HU-16 Albatross in the background stirred recollections of times with my husband, Al Hansen, too. Clay Lacy Everyone recognizes Clay Lacy's name and connects it with Lacy Aviation, LearJets and Van Nuys Airport. When I th...
