Joseph Dean Ray, III, fondly known as Grandpa Joe, was born Feb. 24, 1935 in Depew, Oklahoma where he was raised by his paternal grandparents. He passed March 23 at Tehachapi Adventist Hospital.

In 1945, he moved to Coalinga, California to join his father, stepmother and their three children, Charles, Douglas and Linda Ray. He graduated from Coaling High in 1954....

In the early 1800s, the entire San Joaquin Valley of Central California was populated by the Native Americans of that region. The larger portion of the population were Yokut, but there were a significant number of alternate tribes in the area. The Gold Rush and the influx of settlers and miners were to inevitably displace the natural residents of the area.

The bee's knees was flattering praise used by flappers in the 1920s and even earlier in the 1800s when shop owners sent their buyers out to "find me the bee's knees," meaning they wanted the best materials for their business. The term bee's knees defines something that is surprisingly wonderful or cool. It's a compliment. It's also a descriptor from the olden days, grown out of its prime and now passe'. But did you know that bees actually do have knees? They have what could be termed balls and s...
Can you remember the first time you met Gary Mazzola? Of course you can. If you're new to Tehachapi Community Theatre Association, you probably greeted him as he entered the theater, cane in hand and shuffled up to the sound/lighting tech booth (no small feat for him). Maybe you were lucky enough to catch him onstage as Norman Thayer in "On Golden Pond," or maybe he convinced you to join in on one of his video projects. You got to know him as the accomplished senior member of our world-renowned...

This winter and spring we've had the good fortune to have an average amount of precipitation, about 11.5 inches worth of rain and snow. And though we have had snow, it was a pretty mild winter without exceptionally low temperatures, so we had almost no examples of an unusual weather condition called pogonip. The word pogonip is derived from a Shoshoni word for this phenomena, and it refers to what is basically frozen fog that forms on exposed surfaces during very cold, windy nights. The result...
