Yay! You've got some vacation time, and you've found the perfect place for you and your family to stay. Whether it's for security reasons, industrial espionage, or just because people are weird, you can find another article about people finding hidden cameras in their accommodations every few months. People find surveillance cameras in fake smoke detectors, bedside alarm clocks, behind A/C vents, USB hubs, and even embedded walls. There are legitimate uses for surveillance cameras, of course. An...
My name is Nicholas Tanaka. I fell in love with movies and studied film in college, but due to my age, I haven't seen many of the classics. I've decided to go back and watch the films that have formed our movie landscape today, and view them with a modern lens. Throw out your wire hangers! For Mother's Day, we are reviewing "Mommie Dearest" (directed by Frank Perry). The story tells the true story of Joan Crawford near the end of her career, twice divorced, infertile and lonely. After many...
My mom, Evelyn Dignam, turned 100 in August. Dad died 27 years ago, and mom moved near our family 25 years ago. Until age 97 she was independent, could keep up with me and was full of life. A few falls later, we moved her into our home in July of 2019. I've always felt loved and respected by my mom and I've looked up to my mom. That's what is hard about living with a shell of the woman she used to be. These days her short-term memory is very poor. Questions and conversations are limited and...
4. Dual-Clutch Transmission One of the most interesting automatic transmissions found in modern vehicles is the DCT or dual-clutch transmission. This design is best known for its compact size and lightning-fast shifts, which made it popular in sports cars and high-performance vehicles. The DCT is an automatic transmission, but it features two clutches, one for even gears and the other for odd gears. The DCT does not have a torque converter like a conventional automatic. It can change gears very fast since the system can swiftly use one or the o...

Life as an adult has never been easy but these last few years have been particularly trying for all of us. Between politics causing division among friends and family, a virus that wants to kill us and inflation like we haven't seen in a long time, maintaining a healthy mental state hasn't been easy. May is mental health month and John Nelson, owner of John the Plumber, wants to share a few words on the topic. "I'm certainly no one's guru when it comes to mental health but I have learned a few...
Happy Mother's Day from J Ranch Tree Grower!...
For many of us, Mother's Day is a time to reflect and remember family who have gone home. In my case, when this article is published, I'll be in my mom's hometown, Amsterdam, Holland. My mom grew up in war torn Europe. She often commented on her childhood being lost due to the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. I remember the stories of sirens in the middle of the night and hopes and prayers that the soldiers wouldn't stop at your home. But when they did stop you heard the yelling and...
When you want to visit an art gallery, the first place that comes to mind usually isn't an outlet mall. But that's changing these days. In the Laughlin Outlet Center in Laughlin, Nevada there is a wonderful gallery called the Florida D. Grecco Fine Art Gallery, named for the owner. On my last trip out that way I met Florida and had a great little visit with her. If it were closer to Tehachapi, I'd go there to check out the art more often than the two or three times a year I get to Laughlin. The...
With a payable on death account or paid on death account, you name a beneficiary who gets the account when you die-no probate, no hassle. The person you name has no rights to the money until you die, so you can spend it all or change the beneficiary whenever you want. A payable on death account is created when you make an agreement with your financial institution – usually your bank. The bank has a formal, legal agreement that lets you tell the bank who they should hand over your money to a...
May the force be with you This month’s guest artist is Amanda Abernathy. Most of us in town know her as Mo, proprietor of Mo’s Barbershop. She’s bringing Sci-Fi to the Center including some “Star Wars”-themed art. Although having an interest in art since she was young, Mo found being a mom and running a business left her little time to devote to her artistic talents. All that changed after she was injured in an automobile accident. While recovering, Mo found the time to renew her passion for art. Which she will share with us for the month of...
When Ed Grimes first came to live in Tehachapi in 1950, the odds in life were heavily stacked against him: he was a seven year-old, half Latino boy whose father had abandoned him and his brother Jerry, and he had been bounced around in eight different foster homes after his mother, Helen Arvizu, contracted tuberculosis and was confined to the Stoneybrook Tuberculosis Sanitarium in Keene for two years until her death. It would have been difficult to imagine that this hard luck lad would one day...

Written by Ken Ludwig, "Moon Over Buffalo" features eight amazing cast members, including crowd favorites: Andi Hicks and Jamie Uhtof. The play is directed by David Strestrum who has expertly timed all the gags and fast-paced action. He had this to say in an interview with Johnna Palmer, "It is one of the funniest plays I have ever seen, heard or read. It is Neil Simon on steroids." Set in 1950s Buffalo, the play features two expiring Broadway actors: Charlotte Hay and George Hay in their quest...

The generosity of the people of Tehachapi was never more evident than this past Sunday at the Aspen Builders Inc. Activity Center. Four bands donated their time and talent for a more than 3-hour concert with all the proceeds going to the Ukrainian humanitarian efforts via the Rotary International Foundation. In mid-March, Linda Carhart brought her passion for others to bear and with her friends conceived the idea for a benefit concert. She approached the Rotary Club of Tehachapi who quickly OK'd...

The Tehachapi Warriors athletics program has released the 2022 football schedule, and for the second straight season, we are hoping for a sense of normalcy on the gridiron. Hopefully, that is the case and the disruptions of last season are behind us and our team can focus on two things, school and football. This season's schedule looks a little different, much of that reason is tied to the new league for the Warriors who leave the South Yosemite League for what is being dubbed the "Mountain...
