Tehachapi City Hall has received phone calls from at least two area residents who appear to have been targeted as part of scam, or at least an unethical business practice. The residents received calls from a person claiming to be calling on behalf of the City of Tehachapi that wanted to "put money in their pocket" and come to their house regarding a new energy plan we have. One of the residents said they hung up on the caller and that their caller ID came up as UNKNOWN. The other resident...

Home ownership happens when a willing buyer and a willing seller agree to the terms of sale. Want to know a secret strategy that allows both sides to win? The usual common sense stuff has to be in place: An asking price that reflects current market conditions, a property free of health and safety issues, and a pre-approved buyer whose loan is ready to go. That said, consider the seller’s side first. If they are selling their home for $200,000 it’s not like they’ll walk away with $200,000, even i...

After a four year absence, Josh and Julia Orrantia have moved back to Tehachapi. They had moved to Irvine to be closer to family support and special schools for their children but they missed the mountains. Now they are looking forward to having Josh’s mom move here as well. Julia works in administration at Kaiser in Bakersfield where she supervises case managers. She was born in Davis, Calif., and is the middle child of three girls. She is still in the middle, because one sister lives in N...
Chiropractic is definitely unique. It is probably the only branch of the healing professions that treats the cause of your condition and not just the symptoms. Thomas Edison was quoted as saying. “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and the cause and prevention of disease”. This quote from such a man as Thomas Edison is very meaningful for us as chiropractors because he seemed to tap into the basic philosophy of...

The casting call for "110 In The Shade" was announced in February 2014 for a show that will be performed in June. Like every director you are filled with hope, anticipation, excitement and fear. Fear! Yes fear, the fear of who will show up, or should I say, "Will anyone show up" So, do you want to know if anyone showed up? Oh yes they did! I would like to introduce to you the principal players of TCT's summer musical "110 In The Shade" Opal Lawler: Lizzie Curry – Lizzie is a simple, sweet and p...
It is said, "put it out to the universe and it shall come to you". Colleen Kohnen did just that and was elated, when offered a wonderful gift for Kohnen's Bakery. She had often thought a piano would be nice to have in the bakery, but nothing seemed to come her way, until one day, Hester and Daniel Botha, stopped in for coffee. The Daniel's owned a beautiful Steinway & Sons piano, but had moved to a smaller home, with little room for such a grand piano, nor did their daughters have room for the...
Most of you who know me or have been to my restaurant are aware that I have a son who is active duty in the United States Air Force and has just re-enlisted for his third tour of duty. Due to the sensitive nature of his work I cannot mention his name nor include his photo in this article; however, that does not diminish my pride in him. When holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day come around each year I am especially proud of my son for his dedicated service to our country. When he was...
I’d never have written this piece except for a lady who wrote a news article printed in the Bakersfield Californian. She decided to tell the reading public that the book, The Grapes of Wrath, was completely exaggerated. Her main objection was that it was being used as required reading in high school classes and was inaccurately portraying a period in American history. I don’t know if it was an exaggeration; I never read the book, written in 1939. I know it was fiction with a historical bas...
There has been more than one occasion that I have fielded the inquiry of where the ideas for articles originate in my somewhat disorganized but yet complicated mind. Good, bad or indifferent, this is the process. Before we get started, a little background info would be of great assistance. I was born in 1955 to mostly native Californians in Riverside, a rail shipping giant in the citrus industry and one of the first major stops for all Union Pacific passenger trains leaving Los Angeles for point...

On Friday, May 30, Fiddlers Crossing will present popular satirist Roy Zimmerman in his third appearance in Tehachapi. Zimmerman played to sold-out crowds at Mama Hillybeans several years ago, and at a house concert last year. Zimmerman finds just about everything and everyone funny in one way or another. As a satirist in the vein of Tom Lehrer, but with a decidedly more political point of view, his "funny songs about ignorance, war and greed" skewer our major politicians and celebrities, as...

In today’s competitive housing market, your home’s appearance plays an important role in determining how quickly it will sell.

Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to stage your home for selling that take only a little time and effort, and more importantly, won’t break the bank. Be sure to make a good first impression When it comes to selling your home,...
With summer vacation rapidly approaching, the time is nearing to head out with the family for a little fun in the sun and fishing. This seems the appropriate time to discuss one of the least talked about subjects when it comes to angling, which is the proper “catch and release technique”. Now I know many of you are catch, filet and cook folks, but for a few years now many anglers have taken to releasing their catches back into the lakes and streams. I started practicing catch and release 20 year...

Greetings my fellow pet lovers. I'm Daphne Sherring, The Pet Nanny. I am writing to you today with great difficulty, as I share the bittersweet news that we are moving to North Carolina. Many of you and your fur babies have touched my heart and graciously blessed my life in countless ways. I have had the immense pleasure of sharing my love of pet sitting with you, and – hopefully – brought a hearty laugh, sweet smile or a precious tear to your eyes as I've shared fellow friends and nei...
In the last twenty years, I have heard of many things which decrease the risk of cancer or can even cure it. These include taking more Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and/or Coenzyme Q-10, as well as a long list of herbs and minerals. Many of us have heard stories of people that took whatever and their tumors disappeared, but what does research say? Unfortunately, research studies have not shown that any nutritional supplements have a significant impact on cancer prevention or cure rate. Preventing cancer? The best we can do is look at how...
The PCT, the pathway generating adventures for intrepid hikers. From the border of Mexico to the border of Canada. Official mileage: 2,560. Many attempt the trek in one season, north bound (NOBO) from Mexico, or south bound (SOBO), from Canada. Some perform what is referred to as a YOYO. Mexico to Canada, then back in one season. Some attempt to accomplish speed records, fastest time to date: 60 days, 17 hours,12 minutes! Unlike the quickly moving through-hikers, I chose little steps at a time,...
