This weeks poll from the Tehachapi News asks who you currently think you will vote for.

For those who took the poll, I'm interested to know if you voted more than once?

How scary was your visit?  Since the "administrators" were voted out  - the docs are running the joint and oh my.  Be very, very afraid and try like the devil to get to Bakersfield for emergency care.

I'm not understanding why very certain individuals go into someones blog site and just go off their rockers completely and just type any dumb thing comes into their head.  Not anywhere near the subject.

Why?

I know you can do this - it is within the "rules" and all - but I can't figure the reason.  Would you be so self centered and self serving at someones home?  Or do you save up your bad manners and let them lose in this anonymous location?

That "title" about says it all.  Do you feel it is important to be involved and dedicated to your local community?  If so, what do you do?

I've received tentative information regarding development on the Cummings Valley sod farms plus acreage along Banducci, south of the current Grimm Way farm land. 

First, apparently Grimm Way has purchased some land west of Banducci, just off Pellisier.  It is rumor at the moment, but the rumor is coming from a pretty good source:  Grimm Way wants to construct several (7 to 10) 5,000 square foot  "green houses" and that will adhere to the current agricultural zoning so nothing can be done about it.  This is a huge advantage because watering outdoor vegetables takes more water than greenhouse vegetables.  Water from the Cummings Valley is very expensive.  I've seen some of these industrial sized green houses down near San Diego and  they look like industrial parks.  How ugly will that be?

Second, and this is no rumor but right from the lips of one of the sod farm owners:  he is actively looking to sell his land to developers out of Orange and Los Angeles Counties.  If that happens, we can look forward to a KB-like development on that land. A large developer like KB will sail through zoning obstacles with ease. I'm sure the Cummings Valley Protection Agency is still celebrating their victory over having Stallion Springs allow this area to be annexed into the community with CC&Rs that Stallion Springs would have some control over.

KB homes is what we may get because so many people bought into the distortions and down right lies distributed by the Cummings Valley Protection Agency. We could have gotten a development that was conducive to the area and added value to Stallion Springs - and guaranteed good water quality and improved/updated sewage treatment facilities. 

I'll never understand these arguments:  1) we got land and built homes and we will now lobby so you can't get yours, 2) the purposed development will be larger then the current Stallion Springs. So what?  Other current surrounding areas are  larger: how has that effected Stallion Springs?  Exactly, it hasn't. 3)  who will buy a home in the "glare of prison lights."  Everyone think about how illogical this is.  How would that glare be any different or any less a disadvantage to 20 acre "agricultural" homesites?  That is so dumb on so many levels that I'll just let each reader decide which argument against this logic they like best.  4)  My favorite nonsensical reason for arguing against the sod farm owner's proposal .... those evil "godzillas" just want to get rich.  Honestly - that was a much tauted argument. 

So, in that same light, we should all take the stand that  the President of the Cummings Valley Protective Agency, Chuck McCullough, has too much money and because of that, he should not be allowed to take over two years to get no-where on his winery near the corner of 202 and Cummings Valley Road.  How idiotic is that?  I do wonder how he will  get water up the hill from the valley aquifers - maybe the planting delay is because he has figured this will be a problem with only one, very expensive solution.  For many, many, many months now, what he has produced for our viewing pleasure is bare land with empty posts sticking up.  Not one green thing in sight.  Gee - thanks Chuckie.
