When I was a kid, my dad would have to take the car down to the garage every few months for a chassis lubrication, usually at the same time as the oil and filter change. Now, apart from a few components, the chassis lube is now a thing of the past. That kind of progress has been making its way to fluids, which are now commonly labeled as lasting for a “lifetime.” What does lifetime fill mean? The words “lifetime fill” raise a few questions, including whose lifetime — mine or my car’s? It’s a good question and one reason to read the fine prin...
When it comes to expertise in the industry, Stockdale Tile and Flooring Center owner Tony Marion is clearly known as a leader in his field. He actually started his career back in 1977 working for a local tile distributor. Couple that with his local roots and you have a winning combination. “I was born and raised in Bakersfield,” said Marion, “and a proud graduate of East Bakersfield High.” “I think that both my knowledge of the industry and my background has helped make Stockdale Tile the success it is today and it’s exciting to be able to now...

Although she has a degree in Art from California State University Northridge, Helen McAllister worked for many years as a behaviorist for LA County Schools. It wasn't until she and her husband moved to Tehachapi in 1990 that she began thinking about her art. She knew she wanted to teach art locally and began to teach for Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Park District. As it was during the Christmas season, she did some sample paintings for the class. The first of her series was of Kelcy's Cafe....

Turkey vultures are migrating through Tehachapi, heading south for the winter. They are a sight to behold. Bear Valley resident Rob Fletcher saw well over a thousand fly over his home on October 13....
On Oct. 18, a few hours before the Biden/Harris Rally took place on the corners of Tehachapi Blvd. and Tucker Rd., a group of like-minded people, calling themselves "Tehachapi for Biden/Harris," gathered in front of the Biden/Harris billboard on Highway 58. The group believes that real leadership strives to unite the people in small towns like Tehachapi all across the nation....
The 11th Annual T-Town Rumble took place on a beautiful warm, sunny, clear day Saturday, October 17, at Country Oaks Baptist Church. The event had been postponed from its original August 22 date because of poor air quality due to the California fires. The annual T-Town Rumble is one of Heritage Oak Christian School's premier fundraising events. The cars, trucks and trailers ranged in age from those built in the late 1920s to 2019. Some participants arrived even before 6 a.m. to set up their...
East of the Tehachapi Mountains lies the Mojave Desert, a 48,000 square-mile expanse that is one of the great deserts of the world. It is one of the wetter deserts on Earth and is home to nearly 2,000 species of vascular plants. The region near to Tehachapi is commonly referred to as High Desert, since the average elevation is above 2,000 feet – people are often surprised to learn that the town of Mojave, at 2,762 feet, is about 150 feet higher in elevation than Keene at 2,602 feet. The High D...
My husband and I joined the Southern Pacific construction forces at Caliente [in the early 1870s] to keep a boarding house for the men who were on the big work. Mr. Hood was in charge of the work and he was very kind to us, and gave us a big tent to live in until a house could be built. He used to drop in for visit quite often, and I wonder if he remembers teaching me how to make eggnog in that old tent? The work was rather monotonous, nothing but hard work day after day. The laborers were...
One time I decided to brew some beer at home, so I got some malt extract and made a big batch. When the fermentation is finished and you get ready to bottle it, the beer is totally flat so you have to add a little sugar back in and then cap it, so it ferments just enough to get carbonated again. Well, I made a mistake and used cane sugar instead of corn sugar or malt sugar. When I figured it was done, I took two six-packs and headed down to Mojave to share some with the guys I worked with at Sou...
Question: My rheumatologist just told me I have fibromyalgia and he called it connective tissue disease. He is sending me out for more testing to determine what I have. I have not been able to work since 2019 due to "fibryo fog" severe fatigue. I also have muscle and joint pain and stiffness, weakness, and many other symptoms. He is also telling me I should file for disability but I'm only 35 years old! Can I qualify for disability? Answer: Connective tissue diseases are referred to as a group...
Usually this time of year I like to write about how I love October, the month of Halloween, especially because of all the dark and scary movies that are on television. I'm not necessarily a big fan of dressing up or decorating for the actual Halloween holiday itself, but I do enjoy seeing other people's scary yard art and gruesome costumes. As far back as I can remember, I have always loved the telling of macabre tales and ghost stories through horror books and frightful movies and tellings...
In its widespread non-technical use, a cache (pronounced cash) is a collection of items of the same type stored in a hidden or inaccessible place. In the technical world, a cache is either specialized hardware or a specific software location that stores recently used data. Programs can access cached data quickly the next time the data is needed. Clearing your caches can help with troubleshooting computer issues, free up disk space, remove personal data and generally improve system performance....
On Saturday, October 17, we conducted our fourth Re-Elect President Trump rally in Tehachapi since late July. There were only about 500 folks in attendance (our last rally in late September drew close to 1,000), due in part to competing Trump rallies taking place in Bakersfield at the same time. All of our participating "Trump Troops" were excited to be among like-minded spirits and fully engaged in supporting the president's re-election. There were smiling, joyful faces everywhere, among a...
I read an article a while back that described a study (a study?) about why children didn't care for the school lunches. We're talking about a carefully planned, nutritionally balanced lunch. That last sentence says it all. What kid likes a carefully planned, nutritious lunch? I remember my youngest child (now past 50) used to tell me that he always put his peas in the empty milk carton. Good place to hide peas! Of course, some kids eat the lunches and think nothing much about it. The general pop...
The Ridgecrest Chamber Music Society is excited and pleased to once again be able to offer wonderful concerts this season. RCMS has been offering an annual series of concerts for almost 15 years. In planning this year’s concert series, the RCMS leadership always had in mind that COVID-19 restrictions would have an impact. Generally, concerts entertain an audience of hundreds but chamber music is performed for a much smaller audience in a more intimate setting. That makes chamber music uniquely situated to continue to entertain audiences d...
