The Business of Bees

events@placernaturecenter.org — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Pollination is a real business

There's more to beekeeping than wearing a bee suit and harvesting honey. Even milk production depends on bees, because cows eat alfalfa and bees pollinate alfalfa seeds. One third of the food we eat is directly or indirectly dependent on honeybees or pollination. If bees were gone, U.S. agricultural production would lose [...]

Before the baking can begin We will set the mood. I like to make the kitchen as [...]

Baking therapy

My quilty pleasure........

Ever since I can remember the process of baking cookies made it all better. If I was sad, heart broken or lonely my mom would bring me into the kitchen and we would bake.

We sometimes did not even talk. My mom did things from scratch. I love organizing the bowls, spoons, all the ingredients. Feeling the oven warm.

By the time the mixing started whatever was weighing my heart down do not seem so big.

Our favorite Cookie Rec [...]

May Travels

webwitz@pacbell.net — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Webster's College dictionary's describes travel as: To go from one place to another, as by car, train, plane, or ship; a journey. Currently that journey is going to be expensive with fuel at new all time levels. Pessimist or optimist; is that gas tank half-empty or half full? As I see it, one of two things is going to happen: 1) People are going to stay home; or 2) The travel industry is going to offer enticing discounts to draw customers to their destinations.& [...]

MANDELA

loy@foothill.net — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:25:56 +0100

Very much enjoyed watching the movie Mandela and de Klerk, the story of Nelson Mandela played by the wonderful Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk. Of course the acting is excellent and the story is riveting and what a relief: No profanity or nudity. Unfortunately, because of the nature of apartheid/segregation, violence was depicted in a graphic manner--all offset by the stimulating conversations of Mandela and de Klerk in their attempts to end the violence [...]

Enjoyed a delicious latte over at Courthouse Coffee and chatted with Courthouse Coffee Owner Linda Lareau. The drive up yesterday was not bad at all. Clear skies and a gorgeous warm day.

It is great to be back in the Auburn Community and connecting with the local community. The radio broadcasting career is being restablished again.

MAGIC IN MOVIES

loy@foothill.net — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 10:47:10 +0100

Just enjoyed very much a movie titled The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck and while this tale is one of violence, I enjoyed the story which is depicted by the great Peck and guess what? This wonderful film is in black and white, has minimum killing, little graphic depiction of the violence, no profanity and yet the message is clear: Violence begets violence and man has a choice. The film is beautifully acted by Peck and supporting actors Mitchell Mallard and Helen Westcott ad [...]

Hosted banjo player/singer Debby McClatchy of the Sacramento Bee family. Debby lives in Dutch Flat and plays a mean banjo while singing the Old Time music, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the KAHI staff, myself and owner of Court House Coffee Linda Lareau, among others. My other guest was Jim Linsdau, publisher of the Forest Hill Messenger who brought me up to date on golf, community and newspaper happenings in his neck of the woods. After the radio program, we all met fo [...]

Anybody that knows me or has me talk on radio knows that I love good websites and I would like to share a few local ones: First, I just received a newsletter from Jerry Rogers, who cranks out the website for The Ridge Golf Course. Rogers does a good job on this dynamic website that covers the range from the restaurant food to the golf course and can be accessed at www.ridgeGC.com. Those members who want to know more about KAHI radio are advised to reference www.kahi.com w [...]

Enjoyed the splendid links at The Ridge yesterday as Andrew Downey and I basked in the beauty of the fall day. Even the thunder and rainfall failed to dampen our spirits as we followed the bouncing ball and finished nine holes with smiles on our faces. Chatted with Super Steve Fackler, who guests this Thursday on THE GOLF CONNECTION on 950AM. Tune in and find out how The Ridge maintains its splendor. Webmaster Craig Graham guests for the first time on the 9am s [...]

MEDIA WITH MIRTH

loy@foothill.net — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:28:00 +0100

Now in my sixth year of hosting on KAHI, I have at long last found my niche: Hosting colorful peeps from the community and making the connection. Was successful today, connecting with Andrew Downey as co-host, bringing his own brand of enthusiasm, and musician David Liebergot. Was pleased on THE GOLF CONNECTION to host The Ridge golf pro/instructor Shawn Kelly who enjoys his work and has a solid rep as a good teacher. Enjoyed playing nine holes [...]

BIG MAN

loy@foothill.net — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:27:49 +0100

After playing a few holes in the soup at The Ridge, ended up at CHC and cruised The Buzz with Liz, enjoyed my cheese-cake syruped coffee, headed home where I picked up the 'phone and called The Big Man, he being Clint Walker of Cheyenne fame. Clint regaled me with stories about his Hollywood and television experiences. Did you know? Walker was the first hour-long Western, lasting for eight years, holding up in quality since Walker stayed on top of the scripts and now tho [...]

COLOR IN AUBURN

Had a blast on KAHI 950 CONNECTIONS today: Hosted Jumbo Jet 747 pilot/author Susan Grant who delighted us with her colorful happenings on land and in the big sky. That golf gal who shot 66 at The Ridge Carol French talked golf and then after the program we all met at our favorite coffee spot, Court House Coffee for more connections. Adrenaline still pumping, I wandered down Lincoln Way into the Ale House where I said hello to big Clint Walker, he of Cheyenne fame, an [...]

The Auburn Alehouse - Opens June 21st

craig@strukture.com — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:13:53 +0100

The day that many have been waiting for has arrived...the opening of the Auburn Alehouse!! On June 21st, Brian Ford (Founder and Brewmaster) opens the doors to the general public.

In talking with Brian, I can see the excitement and thrill in his eyes (and possibly relief) in seeing a more than four year old dream finally become reality. In fact, he spent about 2 years just looking for the perfect location. The shuttering of the Shanghai was the perfect opportunity and loc [...]
