Blue Ginger Pho: Vietnamese fare in Tehachapi
If you've been here the last ten years, you've witnessed the blossoming of fine ethnic restaurants in Tehachapi, offering everything from kabobs to sushi to the famous Vietnamese soup called "pho" (pronounced "fah"). The interesting, exotic and tasty food is often matched by the fascinating stories of how these business owners were inspired to bring their native cuisines to Tehachapi. Blue Ginger Pho's owner, Duy Tran, shares his story of how he came to the U.S. and to Tehachapi.
Tran grew up in the rural village of Di An in South Vietnam, so he is accustomed to the country life. His mother taught school and his father built boats. After earning his degree in civil engineering, Tran traveled all over Vietnam inspecting roads and bridges, enjoying exploring the various cities and villages of Vietnam. He married his wife, Li En, and they had a son.

On the Rails: The Big Boy: a famous locomotive
The Big Boy is often said to be the biggest steam locomotive ever built. However, a locomotive "larger" than a Big Boy can be found in many categories, weight, length, horsepower, and tractive effort are all characteristics of how "large" a steam locomotive is.
The Big Boy came about due to Union Pacific's desire in the late 1930s to move large loads over the 1.14 percent grade between Ogden and Wahsatch, Utah, without the use of helper engines.

Fourth grade class at Golden Hills Elementary recreates 1850s Gold Rush Town
A fourth grade class at Golden Hills Elementary School took a trip back in history recently. Teacher Denise Trone (alias Senor Bob) with a lot of parental help turned her class room into an 1850s gold rush town called "Rocker Ridge II."
Trone said they would not have been able to accomplish constructing the town without the help of SaveMart. The need for very large cardboard boxes was met by General Manager Tim King and Assistant Manager Mark Chatteron. The teacher's sister Deanna Trone works at SaveMart and acted as liaison to help expedite delivery of the boxes.
