Five-month-old Daniel West becomes the youngest child to have been fingerprinted by the Tehachapi Masons. His daddy Blaine is doing the honors. The Masons recommend that parents update the document and photo as the child gets older.

Families with children all dressed up for their Christmas photo (some in jammies) came to see Santa and enjoy a breakfast of pancakes and sausages Dec. 3 at Tehachapi's annual Breakfast With Santa at Jacobsen Middle School cafeteria. Three service clubs – Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions – as well as the Salvation Army, fielded volunteers to set up, cook and serve. Photographers Jazmine Moreno and Daniel Moreno worked steadily to get the best pictures of the children on Santa's lap. There was no charge for the photos. Tehachapi Masonic Lodge 313 set up their camera and computer to carry out their signature Child ID program, which provides a photo and fingerprints on a document for parents to keep in case of emergency. The document includes a little plastic bag in which parents can put a hair or nail clipping for a DNA sample.
