May 8th Trash Pickup

Vice President, Chuck Boles, and his volunteers plan to be out on Saturday, May 8th to restore our roads to their pristine beauty. Cleaning up our roads can be a fun and rewarding activity, so if you are able, call Chuck at 822-3925 for information and instructions. We will meet at the Phone Company building at Stallion Springs and Banducci at 8:AM on May 8,2010. The more people we have the less time it will take. I have gloves, sacks, orange vests, and some tools for picking up litter. Every group should have a cell phone. It is a good idea to wear boots.

June 3rd Annual Meeting

Don’t miss our Annual Meeting at 7:00 June 3 in the old CSD meeting room. We will be treated to a talk on Indian rock art by well-known rock art expert, Jack Sprague.

Jack Sprague has been involved in the investigation and recording of rock art for the past 20 years. His scientific research and analysis has contributed substantially to the archaeological data base, particularly within Kern County . During the past two decades, Jack has supported several avocational organizations, with the goal of preserving these rich archaeological treasures. He is a site steward for both the Bureau of Land Management and California Department of Parks and Recreation. He is also a docent for Tomo Kahni State Park in Tehachapi, and a field trip leader for the Wind Wolves Preserve, and actively participates in archaeological research at the preserve. Jack has held every board position in Kern County Archaeological Society (KCAS) at least once, and is currently active in the American Rock Art Research Association (ARARA) as a member of the Conservation/Preservation Committee.

Biennial CVPA Bus Tour - June 5, 2010

    Imagine that it is 1865, and you and your family have made the grueling trip by wagon up the steep tortuous Sheep Trail out of the San Joaquin Valley. The team is exhausted, one is limping with a thrown shoe, a steel wagon wheel rim is broken and in danger of coming off, and you are contemplating the next leg of your journey across the forbidding, waterless Mojave desert.

    Then you arrive in the beautiful Cummings Valley and follow the easy wagon trail past magnificent Valley Oaks, that were once abundant, until you enter a lovely side valley in the southeast corner of the main valley. Here you find the welcoming Banducci (later Germon) Ranch with small housing for you and family, facilities for your team, blacksmithing for your shoeing and repair needs and supplies for the continuation of your journey.

    When you join us on the CVPA bus tour you will be able to feel the joy and relief that this ranch provided to weary travelers as you peer into those little old buildings and blacksmith shop. The main ranch house burned down many years ago and the carriage barn has collapsed, but much of the spring-fed ranch ambiance is still tangible.

    A 100-yard walk will put you up close and personable with an amazing piece of harvesting equipment pulled by a huge team of mules or, perhaps steam tractor, when wheat was king in Cummings Valley and heavy wagon loads of the grain were hauled to the Tehachapi Train Depot for the start of its journey to London, England where the premium dry farmed grain from Cummings Valley was a prized commodity.

    Back on the full-sized air conditioned bus making its way up the Banducci Grade you will be introduced to insights into some of the special flora and geological relationships existing here.

    Then to the Courtland Gross stone house, invisible to all but those who know its location, and member of the register of historic buildings. Here the current owner will reveal the name of the famous architect who designed this and other structures you know well. Also, the tragic fate of the original owners. In the beautiful landscaping, you will be treated to refreshments before continuing your journey past two historic Brite Valley homes on the way to the last stop at the huge green house recently built by Grimmway Farms in Cummings Valley. We will step inside to be greeted by the Facility Manager, who will explain how they grow organic vegetables of various kinds year round. The size of this farm-under-glass is likely to be breath taking.

    By the end of the tour, your knowledge and appreciation of the history, fauna, flora, geology and current happenings of our special valleys, provided by the continuous narrations by Jon Hammond and Chuck McCollough, will give you a sense of ownership of this special area we live in to last you a lifetime.

    To reserve a place on either the 9:00 AM tour or the 12:30 PM tour, send you check for $20 per person to CVPA, PO Box 1020, Tehachapi, CA 93581-1020. Be sure to specify morning or afternoon tour. Include your phone number in case changes need to be made. Stallion Springs Properties, 28401 Stallion Springs Drive, has again offered their parking lot for parking and bus loading.

Tumbleweeds in Our Valley!

The following letter was sent to the listed officials in an attempt to bring Russian Thistle Tumbleweed infestations under control.

March 24, 2010

Second District Supervisor, Don Maben
East Kern Representative, Mary Beth Garrison
Craig Pope, Kern County Roads Dept.
Bill Miller, TRCD, Rick Davis, Kern County Board of Trade

Re Russian Thistle (Tumbleweed) infestation

Ladies and Gentlemen:
    An irresponsible sod farmer in the middle of Cummings Valley allowed several hundred acres of land no longer being farmed, to develop a huge infestation of Russian Thistle Tumbleweed. As was predictable, the weeds broke loose in the typical winter winds and blew across every one else’s farmlands, infesting their properties with millions or billions of seeds.
    Huge windrows of dry weeds accumulated along fences and in roadside drainage ditches. The Kern County Roads Department spent untold taxpayer dollars piling and burning masses of the weeds. Road crews were seen pitching huge volumes of the weed over fences onto otherwise un-infested private properties. Water drainages along both sides of Giraudo Road have been fouled by half-buried clumps of the weeds, causing flooding onto the roadway.
    Huge tumbleweeds the size of a large trash barrel rolling along or across major traveled roads present a serious safety hazard as drivers instinctively swerve to avoid them.
    The Cummings Valley Protective Association has seen its years of roadside trash pickup and noxious weed eradication nullified by roadside accumulation and infestation. The Tehachapi Mountain Valleys Winegrowers association and its vineyard and winery owners, with a grant from the Kern County Board of Trade, are trying to promote the Valley as a tourist destination. Other property owners have invested in pursuits that would add to the attractions for tourism. That goal of making the Valley a beautiful tourist destination for the benefit of Tehachapi and Kern County has been compromised by the massive accumulations of ugly dried Russian thistle tumbleweeds.
    A survey of the area confirmed that the infestations were on lands owned or controlled by Superior Sod Company.
    Weed seeds can remain viable in the soil for many years and may require continuing control toward eventual eradication.. CVPA recommends the following:
        1. The culpable landowner, Superior Sod Company, be notified that it must prevent future such infestations and may be billed for this or future year’s cleanup costs.requested to gather, pile and burn the weeds still in place on properties that it controls. The Tehachapi Resource Conservation District in conjunction with the Kern Weed Management Area develop a program for control. Multiple tillings each year and or seeding unfarmed areas with grasses whose root systems harbor fungi lethal to Russian Thistle may be effective.
        2. County Roads Department reestablish roadside drainage, and be prepared to eliminate roadside infestations by spraying, planting deterrent grasses or other means.
        3. County Roads Department retrieve, pile and burn the masses of weeds pitched over fences onto private properties along the north side of Giraudo Road and complete the burning of the weeds along the east side of Pellisier Road.
    These measures must be addressed immediately in order to have a chance to succeed in preventing continued degradation of Cummings Valley and its potential as a tourist destination for significant economic benefit for the Tehachapi area and Kern County.
Sincerely,
Chuck McCollough, President

Other Recent Valley Correspondence

We continue to monitor Kern Planning Department activities concerning our valleys, prompting this letter:

March 9, 2010

Kern County Planning Department
2700 “M” Street, suite 100
Bakersfield, CA 93301

Subject: CUP#74,Map#164 – Propane facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:
    The Cummings Valley Protective Association finds no valid reason to oppose the subject Conditional Use Permit. However, we request that a condition of any approval be that no signs of any kind visible to the public identifying or advertising the facility or company be permitted.
    The fact that we are not opposing this CUP does not mean that we would not oppose another such proposal, if there were valid reasons to do so. We evaluate every land use proposal on its own merits or lack thereof. If another proposal for such a storage and distribution facility were made, we would look carefully at such things as:
    1. Is it near residences, school or other public facilities?
    2. Is it in the most unobtrusive location on the property or right in public view?
    3. Is it in keeping with land uses of surrounding properties?
    4.Would it negatively impact agricultural use of the property?
    5. Are there objections by nearby property owners or from the public?

    We did not find the Application by Wholesale Fuels/Superior Sod to be at odds with any of the above. And, since such a facility is permitted in the Agricultural Zoning District with a Conditional Use Permit under Zoning Ordinance Section 19.12.030 K, we find no valid reason to oppose it.
    We have always tried to maintain the respect and cooperation of County Departments and Officials by being logical and reasonable, and we will attempt to continue to be so.

Sincerely,
Chuck McCollough, President

CVPA Cookbook Committee Needs Your Help

    The Cookbook Committee is still seeking recipes. Even if you don’t cook or hate to cook, you probably have a “go to” recipe that others would love to have too. We need recipes for all categories: appetizers and beverages, soups and salads, main courses, vegetables, and desserts. Your contribution to this fund raiser will help the CVPA keep dues low and insure the vitality of an organization working to insure the Cummings Valley continues as an area of natural and agricultural beauty.
    The recipe form is on the web site or call one of us and we will mail it to you. Please take a minute to contribute to this project.
    The Committee is also in need of a spirited person to please step forward and volunteer to head up an advertising committee to secure advertisements for the cookbook. The advertisements are not needed immediately but it would be helpful if the advertising committee could attend a cookbook committee meeting. The publisher has supplied us with a lot of helpful hints, recommendations and forms so the primary function of the committee would be to call on prospective businesses that would be willing to place an advertisement in the cookbook. Quarter page ads would be very reasonable at $35. This would be a great excuse to get out in the sun, talk to some people and have lunch with a friend.
    Please contact Clydell at 822-5299 or JoAnn at 823-1541 or email Clydell

Recipes may also be sent to the CVPA PO Box, 1020, Tehachapi, CA 93561.P.O. Box 1020

	#73 February 2010 Bus Tour Save Saturday, June 5 for our biennial bus tour of Cummings and Brite Valleys. The full size bus will leave from Stallion Springs Realty parking lot at 9:00 AM for the morning run and 12;30 PM for the second run. As usual, Jon Hammond and Chuck McCollough will be on board to narrate as Cummings Valley is crossed on the way to the first stop at the historic Banducci (or Germon, as some remember it) Ranch. This spot has a wonderful sense of history unequaled anywhere in our area. A second stop in upper Brite Valley will be a visit to the Courtland Gross stone house designed by a famous architect. After a pause in front of the Brite Victorian house on lower Cummings Valley Road, the tour will re enter Cummings Valley, for the final stop for a look inside the huge greenhouse which Jeff Huckaby, Grimmway Farms President and CEO, has generously offered. We will not be able to wander around through the facility because of contamination issues, but can step inside the door to see the growing produce and get a feel for the magnitude of the operation. The cost of the tour is expected to be $20 per person, but the final cost will depend on contact terms with the bus company. May Trash Pickup Although at times it seems that drivers are becoming more considerate in keeping their trash in the car, there are still some who care not about how they litter our roadsides. And, too, many pickup truck drivers never seem to learn that wind has a tendency to suck loose things out of their truck and deposit them along the roadside. (Ed note: I cynically suspect they learned only too well and rely on that natural vacuum for truck bed cleanup.) So our Vice President, Chuck Boles, and his volunteers plan to be out on Saturday, May 8th to restore our roads to their pristine beauty. Cleaning up our roads can be a fun and rewarding activity, so if you are able, call Chuck at 822-3925 for information and instructions. June Annual Meeting The Annual Meeting and election of officers is scheduled for Thursday, June 3 at 7:00 PM in the old SSCSD meeting room (in what is now called the Community Library building) at 28500 Stallion Springs Drive. The highlight of the meeting will be a talk by Stallion Springs resident and new member Jack Sprague on the subject of Native American rock art. Jack is the Conservation & Preservation Committee Chair of the American Rock Art Research Association, and his wife, Gale, is an archeologist and owner of Grasse and Associates Archeologists. They will tell us about many local pictographs and petroglyphs that they have documented in our local area. Valley News Update Perhaps because of the current recession, things have been very quiet in our valleys of late. It would be nice to just relax and enjoy the rural character of the area, but we need to remain vigilant and prepared to oppose inappropriate land use changes that will inevitably arise. On the positive side, the idea of planting vineyards appears to be gaining traction, and we now have two wine tasting rooms to enjoy and to attract visitors who appreciate the beauty of Cummings Valley. The Souza Family Vineyard tasting room continues to be a popular place to relax over wines in a warm friendly atmosphere. Chuck McCollough's new Triassic Legacy tasting room offers excellent wines in a beautiful facility with wonderful views over Cummings Valley and surrounding mountains. Both tasting rooms are open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. For more information, visit www.souzafamilyvineyard.com and www.triassiclegacy.com. September Barbecue Assuming that Bob and Patty Souza have not sold the historic portion of the Souza Ranch by then, the annual deep pit barbecue will be held there on Saturday, September 18. Save the date and watch for further information. CVPA Cookbook CVPA is in the early stages of publishing a cookbook. It is going to be a little different, have some new chapters, like a "Cooḱs Corner" for sharing handy hints, shortcuts, etc. We would like to feature foods grown here in Tehachapi as well as other tried and trued favorites. So, we need your help. We are gathering recipes now. You can send them, hand them or e-mail them to JoAnn Kiblinger or Clydell Lamkin or to the CVPA address of CVPA Attn: Cookbook, PO Box 1020, Tehachapi. CA 93581-1020. A handy recipe form you may download, fill out, and print is available at http://cvpainc.org/pdfs/cvrecipe.pdf! If your computer has an Adobe PDF printer selection, select it to print the filled out form so that you can then attach the completed recipe form as a PDF file to an e-mail and retain the file for your records. Please put this on the top of your agenda to participate and ask your friends, family, and neighbors to do the same. It can only be as good as the recipes and ideas we receive. Please submit your recipes as soon as possible so we can get the ball rolling. The "Cookbook Committee" needs volunteers, so if you are interested, please contact Clydell at 822-5299 or JoAnn at 823-1541. Thank you for supporting this great fund-raising adventure.
