Valley Springs, CA...We will be starting our debate tonight at about 7:10pm...We had a bit of trouble getting an IP address for the webcasting machine. It is up now so at 7:15pm we go live. We are streaming now and the replay will be up later. We would like to thank the Terrace Shopping Center and Common Grounds for the facilities tonight. We would also like to thank those who stopped by this evening. We held the debate in a vacant area in the shopping center so we could have a quiet area for webcasting and still have it close to District 5. We would like to thank the candidates for participating!!! We tried to be fair and still leave the candidates room to address each other directly. It was an honor to have the candidates address you the viewers and each other for an hour and 45 minutes. The replay is enclosed...

Posted by: thepinetree on 08/08/2010 08:36 AM
Angels Camp, CA...At 6" & 265lbs of adipose tissue I don't normally feel like a midget but I did on Friday morning at Bret Harte's Dorroh Field. We had the pleasure to chat with UCLA's Offensive Tackle Brett Downey. At 6'7" and 310lbs Brett hopes to become an integral part of the UCLA offensive line this year.

"America The Beautiful" It Was .....in Arnold This Morning for Arnold's Annual Parade~Video by Dylan Richardson
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/03/2010 10:59 PM
Arnold, CA...The 4th of July means a lot of different things to Americans. The flags, BBQ, a family get together, or vacation. The flags wave tall and proud up and down Hwy 4 and it brings a smile to my face. Just knowing that people want to support their country and celebrate it makes my chest swell with pride. This Holiday is still sore with losing a brave young man Lance CPL Gavin Brummund. The community has showed their support in many ways and for some reason the flags seem to be more abundant, visible, and meaningful not just to me but to everyone. Jenny Cantrell's version of the National Anthem was powerful and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I could tell that I wasn't the only one with goose bumps in the crowd. Jenny is a singer for the local band Chains Required and after that performance its required that I go see some of her vocal talents with her band elsewhere. Please take a look at the video enclosed below and thank you.
