PUBLIC SAFETY
ANNOUNCEMENT
Starting this fall, the Junior Class will be added to our
newly constructed High School, to include new student drivers. I have made the Poppy Blvd corridor
(North Loop Blvd
to Neuralia RD)
a top priority for improved traffic safety. I assessed this area, and found the
posted speed limits at 45 MPH with limited stop signs, to be a public
safety concern.
By City Council Resolution and my
authorization, the listed speed limit changes and installation of stop signs are
as follows:
-
4-way stop on North Loop
Blvd
at Poppy Blvd
-
3-way stop on Poppy Blvd
at
Rusche Blvd
- 35
MPH zone from Hacienda Blvd
to California City Blvd,
on North Loop
-
35 MPH zone from
Rusche Blvd
to North Loop Blvd,
on Poppy Blvd
These changes shall occur on August 14th.
The new school year begins the following week. Police officers will be working
this area for enforcement purposes.
The OHV Trail (CC10) that crosses over Poppy Blvd near Neuralia Road, is
soon to be opened again. If you have any questions or concerns about any of
these areas, please e-mail me at

The Tortoise Race for
Cures
Today I found out that both
of my grandsons, which are suffering from the effects of Autism, are now doing
better. The effects of a changing diet is contributing to their constant
improvement, I call it a miracle, the youngest said "Hello Grandpa", today after 5
years of hardly an audible sound. Though my son has a great job with the
I.R.S and is president of A.S.P.I.R.E. an organization with in the
federal government
that over sees grants and scholarships and has the best insurance police the
world has to offer, rice Milk seems to be the real medicine that is fuelling the
fight for freedom from the effects of Autism.

TROUBLES IN RIVER-CITY or CAL-CITY - We'll LOSE IT ALL!
Like every city or community there are always people who don't like motorcycles,
trucks, or off-road vehicles in general. That was the way it was in Cal-City for
a while until we started to show them how the OHV community is more aware of our
previous pitfalls and that not only they need a place to
ride and enjoy the sport but also how the City
could benefit financially from servicing enthusiasts. So far it's been great.
BUT NOW OUR OPENESS TO OHV’ers IS THREATENED BY COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS
THAT HAVE VALID OPPOSITION.

A CALL TO
ARMS
Your city
needs help. So here’s your
opportunity to do something positive
that will help everyone, and maybe
along the way you’ll feel fulfilled
that you have contributed for the
betterment of California City.
I
just met with Mr. Michael J. Bevins,
Public Works Director for California
City, regarding our not-so-beautiful
city park that was once the pride
and joy of our city.
GOOD
NEWS! It’s not too late. However, if
we wait for the budget to get
approved or send in for grants to
fix many things in the park that
have decayed all these years because
of abuse, weather and arson, it may
be too late.

Press Release 11-6-08
Tortoise Race for Cures
Last summer my wife and I started the Tortoise Race for Cures, as
everyone knows by now, we were side tracked. The Tortoise Race For Cures
was to benefit those with Autism. Since then we have found many
children organizations that need help. One of those organizations was
the actor Paul Newman's Painted Turtle located in Leona Valley. I
sculpted a Tortoise for them and the children there that suffer from
many different terminal illnesses painted it, and signed it, and even
had their foot prints in paint on it.
I also sculpted a tortoise for Autism speaks, which is our main focus
with the Tortoise Race for Cures. The Red Hat Lady's here in California
City designed a Red Hat paint job for the Tortoise, It then went to The
Autism Speaks walk, in Los Angeles last year, that tortoise came home
with 3500 signatures from people wishing for a cure for this horrific
disorder. I have both of these Tortoises here at the studio.
We decided to do the Tortoise because the Hopi Indians believed they
were the protectors of Children and because I read "The Tortoise and The
Hair" to My children, even though my wife would swear, I change it to
fit my own imagination, every time I read it to them.
The reason I'm saying all of this is because through all the trials and
tribulation the last two years has brought us, we feel we have lost some
of the passion that was The Tortoise Race For Cures. This evening I went
out to my shop and said to my self we need to start again, the children
with Autism, the children that suffer all kinds of afflictions can't
cure them selves, with out a lot of prayer and people with hope to
support them.
It's Time to finish this project and bring some hope to those that
suffer. My Plan is to sculpt one more Tortoise, this time for Saint
Jude. Cecil Cambel and the Desert Rose Club, from California City has
expressed the desire to design a paint job for this Tortoise. It will
then be taken to a Saint Jude Hospital where the children that can,
along with all those hospital personnel and the children's parents will
sign it. Then will bring it back to California City.
I have an 18 foot trailer in the back that I want to design and build a
desert landscape on, then place the tortoises on that trailer to form a
float, that we can use in our desert tortoise day parade here in
California City. This float will then become a traveling float. A
traveling float that can be taken to many different city's and
parades. During which we will encourage everyone to donate to all the
causes this float stands for. When its time we will bring it back to
California City and auction it off, the proceeds will go to Autism
Speaks, The Painted Turtle and Saint Jude.
I need help to do this, design and labor, I hope this is the kind of
project that can unite our city behind a cause and show the world what
California City And its People are really like. If you wish to join us
in this effort and can donate some time. I will get the publicity and
bring tons of attention to this project. Perhaps by helping the
children, we can in turn help bring much needed attention to our city
and start filling those empty homes. If you can help please call me.

BEAM ME UP… RUSSELL !
BEAM
ME UP… RUSSELL, Could become a catchy phrase in California City, If
Russell Michael as
Owner of California City Movie Studios, has it his way.
Russell’s
new project is the construction of a super movie set to be used for a city
special attraction similar to the famous Las Vegas “Star Trek Experience".
California
City Studios envision this project as the city’s gigantic attraction that would
bring tourism visitors in great number.
Studio
designers associated with Warner Brothers are already working on the project and
expect to have a model ready by late October.
“The Star
Trek Experience" brought millions of people to Vegas… Something of that nature
could be a great boost for our tourism industry.
"That is
the main reason why it should be built in the city” said Russell Michael. “But
in any case, it will be built”.
The 10
acres needed, can be found in town but if it doesn’t work, Russell has the
property available and will build it as a movie set.
Our desert
has been used in many science fiction episodes of all kinds including a few Star
Trek ones.
Let’s go
boldly where no one has ever gone… after all, the Mojave Desert is the most
unique place in the galaxy !
As
Trekkers say: “ Live long and prosper… Hailing frequencies closed”.
