See derailment photos: 21 double-stacked cars jump track west of Tehachapi

Twenty-one cars of an eastbound double-stacked BNSF freight train jumped the tracks early Thursday morning in a remote area three miles east of Bealeville between Tehachapi and Bakersfield.

According to Kern County Fire Department Captain Rod Pyle of Station 11, the engine and first and second cars of the train stayed on the track, while the 21 cars popped off, coming to a halt in the dirt still upright. Updated visual information later determined that the toppled cars were further back.

The train derailed at 4:12 a.m., according to Pyle.

He said the train was carrying no hazardous materials and there was no emergency situation involving injury or fire.

The derailment is in a location known to locals as “Cliff,” and is in the vicinity of tunnels seven and eight at railroad mile post 344.

The location of the derailment is just prior to a single-track section in an area where there have been other derailments.

Gravesite portrayals to help local history come alive Oct. 12, 1-3 p.m.

After years of neglect and vandalism, cattle roamed freely over the historic 1858 Tehachapi Pioneer Cemetery until the early 1970s, when the Tehachapi Heritage League took on the project of restoring it as the place of respect and history it deserves. In fact, the cemetery is the only enduring reminder of the original town site of Williamsburg, now known as the Old Town section of Golden Hills.

History will live again at the cemetery in Golden Hills on Sunday, Oct. 12 from 1-3 p.m. As a special part of the activities, actors from Tehachapi Community Theatre will portray the lives of some of those buried in the cemetery. The first burial was in 1858, the last in 1927. Based on historical research by Del Troy, each actor has done his or her own research to be able to accurately portray the characters.

Mrs. Alex Prewitt was the first to be buried at the Cemetery in 1858. She died a few months after the birth of her child, due to complications. She will be portrayed by Monica Nadon, a talented actress, well known to Tehachapi theatre goers.

George Reeg came to Tehachapi in 1862 to try his hand at mining and was killed by the Sotello Gang in 1877. He will be portrayed by Alex Zonn, instantly recognizable to TCT patrons as the face and voice of characters such as Sweeney Todd and Scrooge.

An early resident of Williamsburg, Simon Alexander, started out as a bookkeeper for a general merchandise store. He would later open his own store, the second one built in the newly formed town of Tehachapi. His life will be interpreted by Kenny Chugg, a TCT volunteer who is a jack of many trades who helps in the construction of sets, sells tickets, helps with concessions, as well as acting onstage.

Gwladys Peterson appears as Mrs. M.C. Wiggins, who was married to the area's first judge, who presided in Williamsburg. Their descendants still reside in Tehachapi. Gwladys made her acting debut in Sweeny Todd in the ensemble cast.

David Reed is best known as a director and stage designer for TCT and will portray Scott Lycurgus Johnson, who was a ranch hand for Dick Shackleford. He died in 1877 at the age of 27 and was reputed to be one of the best horsemen in the area.

Constable Thomas Godwin was well respected and liked in his jurisdiction of Williamsburg. In an 1875 altercation Godwin shot a man, in self-defense, who had pulled a gun on him. A year later Constable Godwin was killed by James Hayes, a friend of the man shot by Godwin. Hayes was tried, found guilty and was hung for his crime. The citizens of Williamsburg would not allow the remains of Hayes to be buried in the same place with that of Godwin and he was buried on the knoll above the Golden Hills Motel.

Eric Leiss, who portrays Godwin, has been seen on the TCT stage in shows such as Private Lives and On Golden Pond. Along with many of the other actors illustrating the history of the Old Tehachapi Pioneer Cemetery, he can be seen in the upcoming TCT spring production of Nuts. A longtime supporter if TCT, Eric generously makes loans of furniture from his store, Tehachapi Furniture, to "dress" the sets of TCT's productions.

Through the years, many individuals and organizations have had a hand in protecting the cemetery and providing the needed maintenance. In addition to the neighbors who reside in the general vicinity, church groups, other individuals and interested parties have participated. There have been several Eagle Scout projects, assistance from the Golden Hills Community Service District (GHCSD), tremendous help with planting and upkeep from the Tehachapi Rose and Garden Society, assistance from the Daughters of the American Revolution and The American Association of University Women.

More recently help from Pat O'Donnell, Curtis and Sharon Del Rio, Maryann Hester, Don Maben and Mercury Graphics among others, has helped with the maintenance and upkeep.

The public is invited and all activities are free. Refreshments will be served, compliments of GHCSD. You can also sign up to "Adopt A Grave." Individuals and families can choose and adopt an historic burial plot to help maintain several times a year and to learn about the history of Tehachapi at the same time.

The cemetery is located just off of Westwood Blvd., down Iris Street to Violette Street. For more information, call Charles White at 972-0958.

Depot fire defendants 'held to answer,'

The two Tehachapi men charged in the June 13 fire that destroyed the historic railroad depot will be re-arraigned Oct. 10 in Bakersfield on a felony charge of causing a structure fire.

In a preliminary hearing Sept. 26 at Superior Court East Kern Branch in Mojave, Judge John Oglesby concluded there is enough evidence on that one count to hold Jason Watson and Brian O'Donnell over for trial.

He dismissed a misdemeanor charge of selling and using illegal fireworks, citing insufficient cause.

The defendants will enter a plea on Oct. 10 and a trial date will be set.

An arson investigator for the Kern County Fire Department testified at the preliminary hearing. The attorneys for the defendants had no comment following the preliminary hearing. The arson investigation office would not comment, citing possible contamination of the jury pool.

At the site of the burned depot, a group of men from Friends of the Depot for weeks have been scraping and cleaning old bricks unearthed by machines clearing out dirt and debris preparing for renewed construction. The bricks were part of the original foundation and pilasters that are more than 100 years old.

The site now reveals strata that tell the history of the depot. At the lowest level are the bricks, then remnants of charred wood from the first depot fire in 1904, then a black layer of soil that accumulated during the flood decades of the 1930s and 1940s. On top of that layer is three feet of fill that was placed on the site to hold the depot when it was raised off the ground to get above the floodwaters. The fill made the land higher than the surrounding streets.

The bricks possibly will be used in a walkway for the rebuilt depot. The men, after laboriously chipping off old concrete from the bricks, have salvaged more than a pallette of the old foundation material.

Davidson’s Buckwheat and the flowers of Autumn

Jon
Wildflowers in Tehachapi must deal with two fundamental truths about our weather: most of our moisture arrives in winter, when the days are coldest and there is the least amount of sunlight; and during summer when the weather’s warmest and the days are long and sunny, there is generally no rain.

The response from most flowering plants is logical — they bloom in spring, as winter rains are tapering off but not gone completely and the temperature is warming and the days are lengthening. As a result there are literally several hundred different wildflower species abloom in spring and early summer.

There are far fewer plants that are able to muster flowers in late summer and autumn, when the last rain was 120 days ago or more and temperatures have reached the 80s and 90s for months on end. Fortunately for nectar-loving insects, hummingbirds and human residents alike, there are some hardy wildflowers that are still able to bloom this time of year and two of them are colorful right now: Rabbitbrush and Davidson’s Buckwheat.

I’ve written about Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseous) on several occasions and hopefully many local residents can now recognize these hardy shrubs that are now adding beautiful warm yellow and pale golden color to hillsides, fallow fields, roadsides, and vacant lots throughout the Tehachapi area.

Davidson’s Buckwheat (Eriogonum davidsonii), also known as Pine Buckwheat, is not as common or noticeable but it is still widespread and 2008 has been an exceptional year for this drought-tolerant annual. Oldtimers often refer to this plant as “wireweed” for obvious reasons, since its leafless slender stalks rise up from the ground like pale green wires.

These wiry stalks are ornamented by tiny pink flowers every inch or so. The little pea-sized flower clusters start out bright pink and then gradually fade to pale pink after weeks in the sun.

There are more than 37 species of buckwheat in Kern County, making Eriogonum (commonly pronounced er-ee-OG-onum) the best-represented genus in Kern County’s 8,172 square miles. Their extreme drought-tolerance and hardiness make the buckwheats ideally suited to California’s “lands of little rain,” as author Mary Austin referred to the inland ranges.

At least a dozen or more of these buckwheat species grow within 15 miles of Tehachapi City Hall.

The Nüwa (Kawaiisu) Indian people of Tehachapi ate the seeds of several different buckwheat species, including Davidson’s Buckwheat. The seeds were harvested in the fall and pounded into meal.

We are now moving from the calendar summer to Indian Summer — savor it while it lasts. . . .

Have a good week.

JV Tennis Pummels BCHS

With six games into the league season, only one junior varsity team stands alone atop the leader board with an undefeated record. After a resounding 8-1 victory over Bakersfield Christian last Thursday, that team is the Lady Braves
Tehachapi (6-0 SSL) has at least a two game lead in the SSL title race over Bakersfield Christian (4-2 SSL) and Taft (3-3 SSL), with a showdown looming this Tuesday with Arvin (5-1 SSL) that will all but decide the end-of-year champion.

“The girls are playing very well, we have a lot of talent to work with and they are reaching their potential,” said head coach Jim True. “This is a very coachable group with great attitudes in practice and in matches.”

Winning last Thursday in singles was Caitlin Burris (6-4, 6-3), Erica Lange (6-7, 6-3, 10-7), Elizabeth Oglesby (6-0, 6-4), Samantha Thiesse (5-7, 6-4, 10-7), and Hannah Fjeld (6-3, 7-5). Taking doubles were the tandems of Lange / Burris (6-2, 6-4), Oglesby / Daelyn Valencia (7-5, 4-6, 10-8), and Fjeld / Adriana Brewer (6-3, 6-4).
Overall, Tehachapi has defeated Taft (6-3), Arvin (6-3), Wasco (8-1), Shafter (7-2), and Bakersfield Christian (6-3, 8-1) in six SSL team contest so far.

“We have had a lot of matches that have gone to super-tiebreakers and the girls have come through,” added True. “Sometimes tennis is a game of inches and the player that wants it more is the one that comes out on top. Our girls have done a great job.”

Earlier in the week, Tehachapi also dispatched Taft with singles wins by Caitlin Burris (7-5, 6-4), Erica Lange (6-2, 3-6, 10-8), Elizabeth Oglesby (6-1, 6-7, 10-8), Danielle Amacher (7-5, 6-7, 10-5), and Daelyn Valencia (3-6, 7-6, 10-8).

Tomahawks Impressive on Gridiron

All four levels of Tehachapi Tomahawk football are taking Kern County by storm, with the varisty, junior varsity, sophomore, and freshmen levels all sporting a 3-1 or better record at the midway point of the season.

Highlighting the efforts are the junior varsity and freshmen squads, who are both 4-0 before last weekend with wins over the Garces Irish, Southeast Wolverines, Shafter Gladiators, and Arvin Grizzlies.

Also notching victories is the varsity team, who have lit up the scoreboard with a combined 34 points per game, with the only blemish on the year coming against Shafter. In the sophomore's wins over Garces, Shafter and Arvin, the Tomahawks have only given up a total of 12 points in the three games combined.

The Tomahawks will be traveling to Foothill to take on the Titans this Saturday at Foothill High School, which is off Weedpatch Highway in Southeast Bakersfield. Times for the contests will be Varsity (6pm), Junior Varsity (4pm), Sophomores (2pm) and Freshmen (12pm). The public is encouraged to attend.

Gryphons U16 take Club Fury by storm

U16 Gryphons Girls Team
The U16 Gryphons girls team displayed a fine performance in their win against Club Fury. Within the first two minutes of the game, the girls had put one in the back of the net, which began with a pass from Eliana Navarro through to Tiffany Short. Short ran onto the ball, beating out the opposing defender. She shot while Kelsey Young followed through and scored on the deflection from the goalie. Short assisted Young on another score crossing the ball to Young on the left side. Young was in position to send the ball to the back of the net. Short recorded all 3 of the assists. Melanie Roussel scored off a corner kick as well, curving the ball into the upper right corner. Sydney Castillo played her most complete game of the year, adding an intimidating force on the field. The game ended 4-1.

“We are proud of the way the girls played”, said Coach Perris. “We've been missing one of our top defenders (Harli Smith) for two weeks now. In her absence, Alex Haleluk has taken advantage of the opportunity. Alex has helped the defense stay on course. She has really been giving it a great effort the last two weeks and we are proud of her.”

Lady Warriors with 10th straight game with victory

It was business as usual for the Lady Warriors last Wednesday evening, taking down Frasier Mountain in four games (25-18, 25-17, 22-25, 25-22) to move to an impressive 23-2 on the young season.

Aly Pulford recorded the most point wins at serve for Tehachapi with 11, followed by Jami Lankin with 10. Jasmine Julye, Sam Nunnally, and Shelby Flick all shared the top honors in aces with two each.

Julye had the top mark in kills with 13 on the night, followed by Sarah Horcher with 12 and Paige Woodward with 11. Persephonie Devereaux had 11 total blocks and Julye close behind with eight stuffs, while Shelby Flick and Jami Lankin combined for 21 digs in the contest.

Up next for Mountain Volleyball is league play, with a home game against Wasco scheduled for Tuesday (6:15pm) and an away match-up against Arvin on Thursday (6pm). Tehachapi will also have a huge SSL showdown next Tuesday (6pm) at home against league rival Bakersfield Christian, where they are hoping for a spirited home crowd to attend.

Junior Varsity
The Lady Braves split the week with a thrilling win over Frasier Mountain (25-18, 25-21) and a closely contested loss to Kern Valley’s varsity squad by a score count of 25-16, 25-13, 25-21.

Lauren Smith, Amanda Borst, and Meghan Komin were credited with strong serving games, while Colleen Chung had six winners and a plethora of impressive spikes. Bre Farinas led Tehachapi with five kills overall against Frasier Mountain.

Makenzie Stuart was credited with a strong defensive game, leading the team in digs from her specialist position in both contests.

Running Wild over Rosamond

Rosamond High might have the mascot of Roadrunners, but last Friday night, Mountain Football provided the most decisive display of road-runners.

Thunder (Adam Mullen) and Lightning (Josh Strauss) were back together again for the first time in three weeks, helping Tehachapi (2-3) to 455 yards rushing in a 34-8 drubbing over Rosamond (1-4).

In the process, Strauss set a new single-game Warrior rushing record, recording 304 yards on 23 carries. The one-game effort breaks the 291 yards rushing achieved by Eric Young in 1989 in a victory over Mojave.

Mullen capped the big runs with endzone appearances, scoring three times and collecting 108 yards on 11 attempts.

The margin of victory could have been greater if it was not for two touchdowns called back on penalties, one coming from Strauss on a 54-yard run in the first half and the second a Kurtis Knudson to JJ Balkar touchdown pass, coincidentally the only pass attempt by Mountain Football on the night.

On defense, the Warrior secondary kept Rosamond honest in the passing game with four interceptions recorded, two by Neal Herman and one apiece by Derek Lange and Nick Howell.

The offensive line for the Warriors (Kevin Ruiz, Dominic Chavarria, Drew Howell, Niko Taliulu and Vince Ortiz among others) currently have the distinction of helping THS to the most rushing yards by any Kern County team, with 1,522 yards overall and an impressive 6.32 yards per carry by the talented backfield.

The Warriors will have a bye on the schedule this week, but will be back at home next Friday (Oct-17) in a homecoming match-up with Shafter. The game will also mark the first league game of the year. Former and current THS alumni are encouraged to attend.

Junior Varsity
The Braves (3-2) scored on seven of their eight offensive possessions in a 47-0 decimation over Rosamond.

Michael Lowder had a season-best 203 yards on 13 carries and a score, while Evan Fassbender coupled the effort with 124 yards on 10 attempts from scrimmage, including three touchdowns.

Overall, Tehachapi had 526 yards of offense, with 454 coming on the ground. Other strong performances in the contest included Salvador Contreras with 61 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns, and Zach Timm, Tyler Holstrom, Cory Lange, James Register and Levi Garrett combining for 63 yards overall.

In the passing game, Adam Bullard connected with Travis Farwell for a 72 yard touchdown reception. Farwell also had a strong game on defense, continuing the previous game’s strong four-sack performance with nine recorded stops on the night.

Zach Timm was the top tackler with 10, while Tyler Holstrom had five take-downs and a fumble recovery.

Cory Lange and Cameron King both had five tackles each, while Ray Cross, Adam Bullard and Dallas Scaggs had multiple tackles. Scaggs also connected on three extra points.

Freshmen
With Rosamond not fielding a Frosh/Soph team, the Indians took to the road in a four-hour bus ride to Liberty-Madera, with the end result giving Mountain Football a 48-0 victory.

Marcus Curiel had 130 yards and two touchdowns on three carries and Wyatt Vance had 88 yards on 10 carries and a score. Overall, the Indians had 363 yards rushing.

Colt Wilson also recorded a touchdown and a couple of two-point conversion runs, while Brian Castaneda and Luke Henderson also found the endzone in the contest.

Joey Lopez returned a kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown to account for a strong Tehachapi (4-1) special teams effort.
