Murphys, CA...On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Murphys Old Timers Museum, I would like to thank everyone who supported “The Concert of the Summer” held at Brice Station on July 16th. The event was a huge success with all proceeds going directly to our community museum. I especially want to thank our sponsors the Mast and Quyle families for sharing their beautiful venue and staff along with the many individuals and businesses who sold concert tickets including Sustenance Books and Next! Upscale Resale. Appreciation also goes to the Rugo family who donated their own ranch-raised beef, Clamper Floyd Berry who handled the grill and our incredible volunteers who planned and organized everything from the menu to the silent auction to clean up.

The Living Legend Willie Nelson at Ironstone with Kacey Musgraves on August 18th
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/15/2017 06:01 PM
Murphys, CA...When different generations of country music come together, something magical happens. That’s exactly what happened when Kacey Musgraves teamed up with legendary Willie Nelson for the track “Are You Sure.” The video is set in a small town bar with a moving disco ball that features Kacey and Willie lonely at the bar drinking. Shortly after, they join the band performing on stage for an epic duet. The song proves that although Kacey sings modern tunes about issues today like ‘Follow Your Arrow,’ and ‘Mind Your Own Biscuits,’ she comes from an old country soul.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon on Charlottesville & Racial Tensions
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/15/2017 03:04 PM
Bentonville, AR...Respect for the individual is one of our core beliefs at Walmart. And the role we play in communities around the country to build a more diverse and inclusive society is more critical than ever as the tragic events in Charlottesville over the weekend painfully reminded us. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. As we watched the events and the response from President Trump over the weekend, we too felt that he missed a critical opportunity to help bring our country together by unequivocally rejecting the appalling actions of white supremacists. His remarks today were a step in the right direction and we need that clarity and consistency in the future.

Astrophotography Fans Head for Our Hills ~ From John Michnowicz
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/14/2017 06:15 PM
Lake Alpine, CA....Lake Alpine is a wonderful location for astrophotography and I'm not sure how many of your readers appreciate the variety of night objects that can be viewed from the shoreline of Lake Alpine. I've attached two photos that I took this past Saturday, Aug. 12. One shows the early night sky (thus the blue sky color) with the Milky Way and four meteors streaking through the sky. The meteors are from the Perseid meteor shower that peaked over the weekend. The other photo was taken about 45 minutes later and shows the bright Milky Way Galactic Center over the western side of the lake. Both images were taken on the north shore of the lake about 100 feet from Rt. 4.

One person in the audience we spoke with thought they even sounded better now than when they heard them in the 80s. It was great to see classic rock performed at a level that honored music that has become part of the musical soundtrack of generations.

Washington, DC...Thank you. I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker. And it's about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at a 16-year low, and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office.

San Luis Obispo, CA...My name is Jace and I want to tell you my story. I was born March 2017 in San Luis Obispo County, California to the best parents ever, Andrew and Rebecca. Since coming home from the hospital after being born, I was giving my parents something to worry about because I had blood in my stool. At first my pediatrician though it was a food allergy so my mom had to alter her diet so much that she only ate chicken and rice. Unfortunately, it did not help so my pediatrician recommended that I see a pediatric GI specialist. The GI specialist saw me and ordered some routine blood work. Later that night, my parents received a phone call and the doctor suggested I go to Twin Cities ER to get my blood work redrawn because I had dangerously low platelet levels. The ER processed my blood and again my platelets were very low so they recommended that we drive to Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera that night. My parents and I stayed there for two weeks and after many blood tests, upper and lower GI scope with biopsies, and a bone marrow biopsy, I was transferred via ambulance to Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. After almost another week, the final test my team of doctors sent off was a genetic test to Cincinnati, Ohio hoping for a conclusive result. After close to a month of genetic testing, it was undeniable…….I have WAS.
