This article is continued from The Loop newspaper's Sept. 17 issue. How can you determine your battery needs replacing? You can't accurately deem a battery as failed without a load test, which shops use special equipment to perform. This special equipment puts the battery and charging system under loads, meaning it simulates various accessories drawing power from it, at different times. Doing this helps determine if the problem lies in the battery or charging system as they often have similar...
Kevin Cousineau didn't just participate in the early days of wind energy development in California, and Tehachapi in particular – he engineered it. With no degree in engineering, this highly intelligent and resourceful man nonetheless designed some of the vital electronic components inside wind turbines that enable them to be reliable, and in the process he helped make wind energy a viable industry. Kevin grew up in Kennewick, Washington, in the southeastern portion of the state near the border...
Dae Lantz Jr. and his wife Jean were married in Oklahoma in 1949. Dae's father, Dae Lantz Sr., was a rancher who owned property in Independence and in 1947 he had bought a ranch in Cameron Canyon, east of Tehachapi. Dae Sr. invited his son to come work as his ranch foreman in Cameron, so the newlyweds packed up and headed west to the Tehachapi Mountains. With them came a splendid registered collie that Jean had bought with her own money when she was 17. Named Lady Taffeta, the dog had cost $25,...
While I have covered a myriad of sports in my time and spent plenty of hours behind microphones, notepads, press boxes and sidelines, the genre that I made my first real splash in was motorsports. As a young writer I was assigned plenty of local short track NASCAR, dirt track and drag racing events as I cut my teeth in the sport. I went on to spend time as a track announcer at the former Mesa Marin Raceway, hosted a local racing radio show, television show and an international NASCAR/independent...

The vehicle exited The Home Depot parking lot and accelerated rapidly onto the eastbound Highway 58 on-ramp. As...
I began this series of articles by telling you that Mojave Air & Space Port District at Rutan Field is celebrating 50 years of success this year. This airport was built in 1935 by Kern County to help the local gold mine transport the gold ore to Sacramento for processing. It began life as a small dirt strip, until 1942 when General William J. Fox, USMC selected the field as a Marine Corps Air Station. Part two told how the airport district was formed in 1972, when Dan Sabovich was the General...

I knew Mary Watts because she was a student at Tehachapi High School and was a classmate of my sister, Evelyn Davis, both graduates of the Class of 1940. They were six years older than I so it was not until many years later that Mary and I actually became friends. The older one becomes, the more the age barriers are erased. I recall that Mary, during World War II, enlisted in the newly formed naval organization for women known as the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). She...
My mother and I discovered Paradise Cove in Malibu a couple of decades ago when we were driving down the coast on Highway One (aka Pacific Coast Highway), exploring interesting sights. We saw the giant sign and turned in on a whim to check it out. What we found was a beach café (a large restaurant and bar really) and a wonderful little pier and a small, cozy stretch of beach. We also found out that the cove was the spot where the fictional TV character Jim Rockford (played by James Garner)...
