On June 28, 2022, with family at her side, Ann Elaine Lehman was ushered into her eternal home and was granted her ultimate desire: "I want to know Christ - yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings, becoming like Him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.... 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3: 10, 11, 14 NIV Ann loved spending time with...

It's hard to summarize the long life of this amazing woman, my Mom. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the youngest of nine kids, raised in Buckeye, Arizona, but moved to Southern California at the ripe old age of 17. She married Carl Jordan at 18, worked for the Federal Port of Embarkation, the Federal Immigration Service, Rohr Aircraft, the County of Riverside and the Calif. Dept. of Corrections. She found time for her daughter, me, my husband Ted, her son Dennis, his wife Sue, and...

I love day trips, getting away for a few hours and experiencing something different than the ol' home front. Sometimes I go for a learning experience, like when I visit museums or other places of historical interest; sometimes I go for the entertainment, like to ball games or casinos or concerts. Sometimes I go for exercise, like hiking in a pretty place; sometimes I like to go somewhere different just to be in nature and relax. A few people have suggested a great natural relaxing place to me,...

Did you know Helen Keller dedicated her book, “The Story of my Life,” to the inventor of the telephone? She wrote: “To Alexander Graham Bell who taught the deaf to speak and enabled the listening ear to hear speech from the Atlantic to the Rockies.” She was remarkable and she herself had remarkable and memorable friends. Born with sight and hearing, she lost both to illness during a high fever at the age of two. Many deemed her journey would end there, but instead, Helen reached out to life wi...
We only hear from the world about two or three times a month because our camp is always off far from the ranch. We start in the Owens Valley and work our way down to Tehachapi, where the Angora goats are sheared. Fred (an old ranch hand) comes to it only to bring eatables and to move the camp to another canyon when the feed is all gone. I went to work the first of September and haven't done anything yet except run around over the mountains and have a good time in general, though it is rather...
After the day you just had, once you finally get home, all you want to do is check your email, play some Wordle and maybe watch a movie on Netflix. Except, you've got no internet. Not on your phone, your tablet or your computer. Now what? Getting the internet to your house is a complex undertaking involving global telecommunications corporations, federal, state and local governments, fiber optic cables, satellites, communications towers, data centers, undersea cables and miles and miles and...
The Bear Valley Springs Youth Baseball Camp is offering a fundraising play on the last weekend of July at the BeeKay Theatre in Tehachapi. Whether you love baseball or not you’ll love this play about Hall of Fame pitcher and America’s first true national hero, “MATTY.” Former UCLA pitcher, Eddie Frierson, will stage a one-actor play that will take you back to the early 1900s with the legendary, Christy “Matty” Mathewson. The New York Times called “MATTY” a “Charming! Amusing! Great!” play. The National Public Radio said, “One of the year’s 10 b...
In spite of the heat the day I was there, I was, as usual, enthralled with seeing the various animals, which ranged from reptiles and desert tortoises to raptors, a variety of birds and all sorts of mammals (the coastal room was closed for the day). The good news is, besides the animals there are hundreds of native trees and bushes, identified with placards for education purposes, that make for plenty of shade. Walking on the mildly hilly paved paths is easy and all-accessible, and there are...

I like the way sagas were written in the olden days. Not needing to buy three or six or nine books to finish a series, the original saga came in one large heavy book. It could have over 600 pages, maybe up to 1,000. A book so heavy your hand cramps when holding it. A book so enthralling that you read hours at a time without caring. The world went by unnoticed with a pitcher of iced tea on a side table, while lying in a hammock or stretched out on a comfy lounge chair. My goodness, those were...
I spend quite a bit of time volunteering with the Tehachapi Warrior Booster Club. It is a small organization bringing big contributions to our local high school athletics teams at Tehachapi High. My involvement dates back to my return to the community several years ago and the shambles many of our teams were experiencing. Playing games in decades-old uniforms on fields that were long past their prime and were receiving little or no attention. It is not like me to just stand by, and I wanted to m...
Did you know that more than half the people in the United States die without an estate plan? – not even a will! The daily life here in California and in Tehachapi can be all-consuming. From finding a job that allows you to live here, to driving kids to and from activities, taking care of aging parents...on and on. Finding the time to create an estate plan can be daunting. And what about the COVID-19 pandemic? Just goes to show you how unpredictable life can be. Life is short and certainly p...

This is a huge undertaking involving s...
After checking my article in the last issue of The Loop newspaper I realized I had left out everyone in Mojave. I had mentioned how nice it is to look at the scenery from the passenger side of the car in which I was riding, but find I'm still looking at the scenery and also still recalling really interesting bits of history right there in Mojave. The Golden Queen mine brought many people to work in the mines. The local paper said they would hire local men first. Guess they did but there must...
It's always been a best practice to keep your friends and family emails separate from the flood of emails from the places you've shopped online, the newsletters you've signed up for, your social media notifications, and all the political emails. For a long time, the best way to keep those essential emails separate from the rest was to use different e-mail addresses for each type of e-mail. It worked, but now you have multiple e-mail addresses and passwords to keep track of. If only there were an...

If you're looking for an interesting day excursion from Tehachapi, I suggest you consider taking the Metrolink train from Lancaster into Downtown Los Angeles and back. I've done this before, and it makes a fun and memorable trip. I first took this trip back in 2013 with members of two different Tehachapi train organizations: the Tehachapi Loop Railroad Club and the Friends of the Tehachapi Depot. We toured the vintage Union Station, as well as visited to Grand Central Market – the city's l...
"In early 1985, I got a job with Star Electric putting up Bonus turbines at the Arbutus wind park. Zond Energy Systems and other companies were thriving at that time, and I decided that I was going to get a job in the windmills because I liked them. I applied and got a job as an $8 an hour laborer. I was only there for three months but it gave me a start in wind. It was snowing at that time of year, so I was mostly cleaning snow out of ditches so they could see the cables. They let the laborers...
