The "big dream" for many singer-songwriters is to have their music used in film or TV scores. For Ernest Troost, it was the other way around. Troost became an Emmy Award-winning composer of movie and TV scores first, and only recently became an award-winning folk-blues songwriter, as well. "Songwriting was something I had put in the trunk and sat on for 20 years because it was an impractical thing to do," he said. "I hadn't done it since high school." Ernest Troost will perform at Fiddlers...

Each spring, the season of Lent encourages people to grow closer to God. Some people choose to fast, or give something up. It is also appropriate to increase some practice, like meditation or time in prayer. This year, our church will offer a program to increase kindness in our community: a kindness challenge. Will acts of kindness make any difference? Will we feel anything from it? Sadly, we see the devastating impact of random acts of violence, but random acts of kindness can easily go...

Tehachapi Valley Arts Association is thrilled to feature local artist, Chris Paschke of Designs Ink Art, for the First Friday event, Mar. 7 at Gallery 'n' Gifts. Paschke's love of calligraphy and letters began when she took her first calligraphy class as her final college elective before graduation. She stated she was then hooked for life. Interesting how decisions such as deciding on an elective in order to complete our course of study, seeming of little significance, at the time can take us...

Have you ever driven down West F Street and noticed the building on the north side of the street at 311 (next to Wood Family Funeral Service)? You may have noticed the name on the building – Mountain Pathways – or perhaps not. The building itself certainly is not an architectural wonder – just a plain building with a name across the front. Your writer has driven by this building more times than she can count and always wondered "what is Mountain Pathways?" Is it a tour guide service offer...

I remember when I believed that the Post Office delivered no matter what. In fact I thought their motto was “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” But, this is commonly misidentified as the creed of our mail carriers, but actually it is just the inscription found on the General Post Office in New York City at 8th Avenue and 33rd Street. The Post Office doesn’t actually have a pledge or motto. Anyway, since I thought they would deliver, I made the ridic...
