Now that we have entered 2025, we cycle into a new Chinese Zodiac: The Year of the Snake, specifically the Wood Snake. In the Chinese Zodiac, your animal sign is determined by the year you were born unlike the western zodiac which is determined by the month you were born. Each year corresponds with a different animal in a 12- year cycle beginning with the rat and ending with the pig. From a spiritual standpoint, the Year of the Snake offers great opportunity for transformation, introspection...

A special election will be held on Feb. 25 for representative of Assembly District 32. This is necessary because Vince Fong was on the November ballot for two separate offices and cannot serve both.

How much time do you really spend on yourself? Taking care of your body and your mind? We all know that if we don't take care of ourselves, we won't have anything left to give to others. But even though we know this, we often spend our days taking care of everyone else and forget to do anything for ourselves. Imagine you're on a plane and the oxygen masks drop down. What's the first thing you want to do? Help someone else, right? But, the flight attendant always says to put your own mask on...

For home fruit growers, it is time to apply annual dormant oil application on selected fruit trees. This is probably one of the most important sprays for fruit trees and the least toxic of all spray materials for the homeowner to handle. Dormant oil is a refined petroleum product formulated for orchard tree use. It has been in use for well over a century in commercial orchards and is still regularly used today. It is classified as an insecticide, and acts by coating overwintering insects hiding...
Although it is a difficult conversation, I always encourage families to discuss end of life decisions, even if they are a young family. The truth is, tomorrow is not promised to anyone of any age. Informing loved ones of your wishes, even if it's only verbal, can alleviate a great deal of stress on them should you pass unexpectedly. Too often I have sat with families who have no clue what their loved one wished for in their end-of-life decisions. This, on many occasions, has led to squabbling...

Two decades ago, inventor David Schmidt found himself on a mission to solve a critical problem for Navy SEALs. During their grueling "Hell Week," SEALs often endured 40-hour missions without sleep, relying on stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines to stay alert. These substances, while effective in the short term, posed serious health risks, including heart problems. Schmidt was approached by the Department of Defense to create a wearable technology that could keep soldiers awake and focused...

It's been a wonderful 12 years, but all good things must come to an end. Sheridan's will soon be closing. It has been both rewarding and fun helping people find new homes for their treasures, as well as helping others create beautiful spaces in their own homes. Shopping with my daughter for new merchandise to add that eclectic touch has built many great memories for the two of us that I will always treasure. The friendships I have made with my customers, and knowing what a special place this has...

The last two weeks of the year have traditionally been slower for the Chamber. With businesses and visitors focused elsewhere, it is a good time to reflect on the work that was accomplished in the past year and to set goals for the next. It's a time to rest, regroup and re-energize. Looking at 2024, the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce started off strong in January with a networking luncheon that brought Tehachapi's nonprofit organizations face-to-face with dozens of business owners. This...

On Thursday, Dec. 19 Joanne Nicks, owner of Cowboys and Angels Boutique, stood outside of her new location on Green Street in Downtown Tehachapi and welcomed in a new era of possibility. Surrounded by her friends, family and avid customers, Joanne shared a story about how her first location was destroyed by a fire several months ago. The loss would have encouraged others to shutter their doors for good, but with the help of the community who rallied behind her, Joanne rose from the ashes and...
The new year has always been celebrated as a time for transition into new and better things. Those things differ from individual to individual and usually take the form of New Year's Resolutions. At this time of year, any business with a membership or subscription is offering deals. My favorite are the gyms who offer deals on membership for the new year. They anticipate that within a few weeks of joining the majority of people who made a resolution to get in shape will abandon their resolution...
