Pen in Hand: The Rankin Ranch,150 years and thriving
One of the oldest business enterprises in Kern County, a family-owned ranch now home to the sixth generation of the same family, recently marked its 150th anniversary with a celebration and a new historical marker. The Rankin Ranch, a 31,000-acre cattle and guest ranch in Walkers Basin about 30 miles northwest Tehachapi, was founded in 1863 by Walker Rankin Sr., and has been in continuous operation by the Rankin family ever since.
On April 28, a dedication was held at the crossroads outside the 1870s Rankin Ranch main house, to officially unveil the plaque installed by the Peter Lebec 1866 Chapter of E Clampus Vitus. The plaque, attached to a monument built mostly of rocks from Kernville and Twin Oaks, contains a brief history of the ranch and its founding. A small gathering of family and friends joined for the short ceremony, under blue skies with a few attractive white cumulus clouds for contrast.

Journey: Beverly Hills; a sophisticated way to spend a day
While the majority of southern Californians cannot afford the items that shimmer from storefront displays along the Spanish-style cobblestone streets of Rodeo Drive, a trip to Beverly Hills will give travelers a chance to experience how the other half lives.
With its stylish, gourmet bistros, cradled by upscale boutiques and haute couture fashion stores that are neatly condensed in a two-block area lined with sun-dappled palm trees, Rodeo Drive is the perfect playground for hardcore shoppers.

Pen in Hand: Making rattles and preserving a language
A North Fork Mono Indian artisan was in Tehachapi last week to teach a traditional skill to her tribal cousins from the Kawaiisu Language and Cultural Center. Like the Nuwa (Kawaiisu), Mono people are members of the extended Piute (also spelled Paiute) family of tribes who share a linguistic heritage, and weaver Sandy Clark was demonstrating rawhide rattle making as part of an ongoing effort to record the Nuwa language.
