Spring might have come late for the Tehachapi Valley but that hasn't lessened the impact of allergy season. Folks prone to allergies are suffering and looking for non-pharma relief. Local honey has long been touted as an antidote to itchy eyes and runny noses and can be found at the Healthy Hippie Trading Co. in Old Town, Tehachapi. "Traditional medicine and doctors tend to poo-poo honey as a treatment for allergies stating that studies do not show positive results. Thankfully, I am not an...

For two years now, the Tailwaggers dog club in Bear Valley Springs has been fundraising to support Have A Heart Foundation in Tehachapi. Their joint desire has been to fund a spay and neuter mobile clinic to enable more people to be able to afford to spay or neuter their pets. Kern Country has a big problem with too many cats and dogs ending up on the streets or in shelters, and then being subject to euthanasia. Nobody wants to see that. The best resolution is to reduce the number of un-homed...
For those who love to read, each book holds possibilities. You may find an adventure or a story that is so interesting that it takes you to faraway places. Tehachapi Community Church is so fortunate to have a beautiful new "book barn," built by Wayne and Debra Bromiley and installed in the church parking lot. Most of the space in the little barn is taken up with children's books because what is more fun than introducing a love of books to a child? Wayne's daughter, Sarah Bromiley, works for Farm...
The volunteer staff at Have A Heart Humane Society really has no words to adequately express the amazement and gratitude we feel for the help, support and hard work that came from you, our community! We had no idea what we were going to do when we were told that our rented building had sold and we had to vacate after over 7 years. How would we do it in 30 days? YIKES! But you all came through and helped us pack, load and move, using up to 30 horse trailers, trucks, vans and station wagons. Then you all came out of the woodwork to unload, set...

Many of us who were city dwellers before we moved to Tehachapi took a few wrong turns before we became adjusted to our new lives in a small town. Every time I drive down Valley Blvd., I look over and smile at one of mine. My newly built house, upon arriving to Tehachapi in 1990, needed landscaping. So, my new landscaper and I purchased a bunch of 3-foot trees from the Forest Service, I believe. Not thinking about the obvious, we planted the trees over the septic system. Now, 34 years later,...

Arriving in Tehachapi in mid-December for his duties as pastor of Saint Malachy Catholic Church, Father Gregory Beaumont was greeted by snow and frigid temperatures from winter weather but with a "warm" welcome from parishioners. Father Beaumont comes to Tehachapi from Holy Family Church in Kingsburg, California where he served its members for 17 years as their pastor. A true Californian (having come to the "Golden State" as a babe in arms), he grew up in the beautiful San Fernando Valley with...
Previewing your email If you've been using email for a while, you probably remember hearing about how dangerous it was to preview your email. Maybe even being told to turn off the preview pane entirely. Today though, previewing your email before you open it is completely safe and encouraged. So, what changed? A couple of things. All the major email client developers, Microsoft, Pegasus (remember them?), Eudora (remember them, too?), Mozilla, and Apple, rewrote their email clients so they...
"For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all of that-I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn." –Sylvia Plath. This is Kiera's favorite quote and describes how she approached her life in high school. Kiera enjoys school, and loves being able work on projects, essays and presentations. As a student, she always double-checked and sought to perfect each assignment. She took great pride in doing her best and enjoying the process. Though often quiet, Kiera never s...

In high school, Nick raised the bar in his classes. Although quiet and reserved, Nick...
"Hard-working and serious, good at art, opinionated and assertive, willing to stand up for herself when wronged, unafraid to publicly advocate for neurodivergent people." This is what classmates of Isabella Donke said they would remember about the senior and salutatorian. Having attended Valley Oaks Charter School since the third grade, Isabella set a high bar in her academic work, completing seven college courses during her high school years. She was recognized by her peers for her willingness...
As a father I can tell you I love anything my daughter gives me. I have a little pile of drawings, unremarkable rocks and even a purple stuffed animal that looks like it's in the middle of rehab. These things aren't what I'd normally keep on my desk, but because my little girl gave them to me, they now have an elevated status as symbols of her love. I say this to make the point that fathers will adore anything their kids get them, but... isn't it about time you spice up your Father's Day gift...
Tehachapi doll maker, Marie Wyman, has been creating and selling her porcelain dolls in Tehachapi for 50 years and during the first two weekends in June, she will be holding a rare sale at the Carriage House. Long-time area residents will remember the original Dolls by Marie shop that was located across the street from the Apple Shed where she displayed her creations for almost 10 years.
