'Making the Grade' is a show displaying the combined works of Linda
Beach and Grace Rankin in the Founder's Room of the Bankhead Theater in
Livermore from April 10 until May 29. An artist's reception, which is
open and free to the public, will be on April 24, from 6 to 8 pm. The exhibit will also be open to the public on May 9th, during the reception for “In Full Bloom”, featuring works by Jennifer McGregor, Patty Benson, and Engela Oliver from 6-8pm.
Grace Rankin a multimedia painter of watercolor, collage, and mixed
media whose work ranges from realism to abstraction with a loose, not
entirely planned approach. She enjoys the unpredictable quality of
watercolor and likes to let the painting "happen" as it progresses. She
teaches in Fremont and has also taken groups to paint in Scotland,
France, Italy, and Yosemite.
Linda Beach is an award-winning pastel artist whose quiet landscapes
invite the viewer to share her appreciation for nature. She often
paints on location to capture the beauty of the Bay Area and her native
New England. She continues to teach drawing and painting to children and
adults in Livermore through L.A.R.P.D.

The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.…Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"…Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding.
After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin."
Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty.
Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love to…Read More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
