Last week, I attended a meeting at the Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Parks District, as I often do, and I was approached by someone there who thanked me for the Christmas lights at our Wastewater Treatment Facility. This person told me that he enjoyed seeing the lights on his nightly commute and that they gave him the feeling of being home. Though the lights are temporary, they serve as a bit of a landmark for him, and maybe some others, that indicate they can relax and enjoy this great place...
Last week, I had the opportunity to see a new movie. I sat in the dark, with a drink and a bucket of popcorn, and enjoyed the fruits of labor performed by hundreds of people who either wrote, produced, directed, designed, built, supported, or marketed the movie. After the movie, it occurred to me that I now had an opinion about the final results of their labors and could criticize the set design, the length of the movie, the quality of the dialogue, or any one of the million pieces that go into...

A local business has been all the buzz lately-and much of the hype is due to its recent success in a nationwide competition hosted by media mogul Martha Stewart.

Keeley and Janis Osbrink are not your average thirteen and fourteen year olds – both girls already know where they want to go to college. Keeley wants to attend Fresno State, and Janis is thinking about Montana University, because both schools have highly rated rodeo teams.

Each girl has a "...

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about the upcoming elections in Tehachapi, and the candidates and issues that will be considered by voters as they cast their ballot this November. As an employee of the City and not an elected official, my role is to manage the day to day business of the City and to avoid political discourse when possible. Instead of engaging in political debate best left to those individuals running for office, my staff and I do our best to provide facts and i...

A very important milestone is happening here in Tehachapi near the Monolith substation. The "energy" eyes of the world are watching our town. Southern California Edison has opened a test version of a reliable/sustainable/pollution free electrical energy distribution system. Following is a layman's abridged version of the importance of this endeavor: One of the Achilles' heels in the world of sustainable/renewable energy has been storage. The most commonly used form of electricity by consumers...

They selected vapor cigarettes as their alternative to cigarettes. Vaping...
Customers come in to the store seeking help and advice on how to do a home improvement project and usually they take our advice, use the products we recommend, and come back with the good news that it worked.

We asked what kind of paint was currently on it-flat or shiny. She said shiny so we told her that she would have to...

For the past several years, the County has adopted our final budget in August, after the County accounts for all of its "carryover" funds (monies left over from the previous fiscal year), and more accurate projections on property tax revenue are completed. This has allowed the Board of Supervisors to make budgetary decisions with the most complete and accurate financial information. In prior months, all County departments were asked to prepare their budget requests for Fiscal Year 2014-15 with...
