A letter received by the City of Tehachapi was brought before the City Council at their March 20 meeting. Sue Page of Tehachapi wrote to complain about the length of time it took for fire crews to respond to a house fire at 520 E.

Extensions Whether you file a tax return by the April due date, or obtain an extension to file, filing an annual tax return is mandatory if your income is above a certain level, which will vary depending upon your filing status. Filing an extension will grant you another six months for individuals and corporations (five month extension for partnerships, LLCs, estates and trusts) to file the tax return. Filing an extension, however, will not allow you to delay payment on any tax you may owe. The...

I took a couple of wildflower drives over the last couple of weeks when it wasn't raining, and I'm excited to tell you that while I did see a lot, I didn't find as many wildflowers as I'd hoped... which is good news for you because it seems the season is just getting started this year. By the time you read this there should be all sorts of wild flora growing in a number of different spots. The first drive I took a week ago was through Cowboy Country. I saw the start of plenty of different...

For all residents in California, Net 2.0 Solar will be ending to be replaced with Net 3.0 Metering, which will take over starting April 14, 2023.

The short answer is no. No, the disciples did not believe Jesus rose from the dead, initially. None of them believed. Not even one! The New Testament teaches us that they actually fought hard not to believe in the resurrection. This piece of evidence is actually very important because liberal scholars, who try and cast doubt on the resurrection, say the disciples were trying to psyche themselves up to believe in a resurrection. One popular explanation for the resurrection is that the disciples...
I know I'm a nag. I nag because it's so important to plan now for your family when you die. It's not that we plan to fail, we fail to plan. So what happens to your children when they inherit the family home that is in a trust? A step-up in basis resets the cost basis of an inherited asset to its market value on the decedent's date of death. Example: Dad dies and has a house that is owned by a revocable trust. He bought the house for $100,000 in 1970 and transferred it to his trust. Dad has died...

Most people have a few old smartphones or even flip phones lying around.

How can you do it safely and responsibly if you decide to get rid of your old phones? The first thing to do is a 'factory reset' on your phone/ Factory reset completely wipes all your information from your device and...

Jesus Lives! We hear and proclaim this declaration every Easter but how does it affect our lives? Isn’t this something that happened long ago? Why should it matter today? In today’s jaded world, these are legitimate questions. So much of our world is filled with empty sentiment and cheap slogans. Why should this be any different? The Apostle Paul, however, reminds us of what is at stake, “…If Christ has not been raised then your faith is worthless….” (1 Corinthians 15:17). In other words, our faith, all that we believe of God and His forgive...
Hard to believe it's been just short of a hundred years since the Great Depression with its run on the banks. Great-grandma hid her money under the mattress rather than exposing it to a rapidly collapsing economy. I do not think this is an issue today, but a better question would be do I put my money in the Stock Market or in a bank with its current high interest rates. A good argument could be made for either strategy. A lot of investors are suggesting now is the time to invest long-term in...
