Hippies,
Sheep, & Bob Marley On Campus!
On the Friday before Halloween the student lounge
at the Merced Community College's Los Banos Campus was visited by hippies, skate
boarders, sheep, pumpkins, doctors, ghouls, nuns, witches, a lady form the twenties,
and Bob Marley. No... this was not some sort of strange warp in time in which
the faculty of the college was finally able to categorically prove the theories
associated quantum mechanics - vis-a-vis time warps and faster-than-light travel,
but rather a group of teachers and students having a few giggles and enjoying
the Halloween season.
Community
Supports The Local Animal Shelter
Dog Day In The Park 2009
Heart,
dedication, love. These words come to mind most often when I come into contact
with the impressive group of individuals who make up the Los Banos Volunteers
For Animals. This tireless cadre of individuals supports the Los Banos animal
shelter in so many ways and give so much of themselves in the form of time, effort
and dedication that they would make any community leader proud.
A
Busy Week At Westside - Free Concert This Sunday
This
week is going to be remembered as a busy one by the folks over at Westside Community
Church. Last Sunday they dedicated a small 'prayer garden' and this coming Weekend
they will be hosting a free concert and tailgate barbecue that they are inviting
the public to attend.
An
E-Ticket Ride!
Last weekend, fishermen and others who braved the winds
and visited O'Neill Forebay may have noticed something a bit unusual that some
commuters heading over Pacheco Pass have been wondering about for the last week
or two - chopper operations.
