There is a hero inside each of us, ready to make a difference when others need our help.

When you donate blood you are a hero, and you can get that feeling over and over again throughout the year. Think about how the people who needed those donations feel about you. You are, without a doubt, a hero to them. To find the hero in you, simply visit a United Blood Services donor center or blood drive in your area. For more information about donating blood, visit www.UnitedBloodServices.org.

Find the hero in you…give blood 3 times a year!

Once Upon a Matress

Music by: Mary Rodgers
Lyrics by: Marshall Barer
Book by: Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer

If you thought you knew the story of “The Princess and the Pea,” you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reaches the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care is dedicated to helping native wildlife through rehabilitation of injured, ill and orphaned birds, mammals, and reptiles and by furthering public knowledge and appreciation of wildlife through education.

Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care rehabilitates wildlife in need of help with the goal of restoring them to the free, wild and natural life that is their birthright. Songbirds, hawks, owls, water birds, and small mammals are brought to us from as far north as Bridgeport and Walker and as far south as Olancha. Most animals are rescued from roadsides or backyards by compassionate individuals. In some cases, ESWC may send a rescue team.

Trained volunteers care for our injured, orphaned or ill patients. We treat injuries including wing and leg fractures, illness, emaciation and other problems. Orphaned animals receive foster care-proper formulas, housing, and training for release.

ESWC seeks to educate individuals, businesses and organizations about living with their wild neighbors and how to prevent conflicts from arising. We also have educational programs designed for schools and organizations which are offered free of charge.

Biathlon is an individual and/or team endurance sport which combines cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship. This historic event, which has its roots in Scandinavian, European and North American militaries, combines raw physical endurance and acute mental focus into one exceptionally challenging race. The sport of Biathlon has gained worldwide popularity at the recreational, World Cup, and Olympic levels; it is an integral part of Nordic ski racing. During the Winter 2005-2006 season, Biathlon was rated the most popular winter spectator sport in Europe as a prelude to the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics. Although Biathlon is currently not as popular in the United States, it is building in popularity. The United States Biathlon Team put forth their best overall season to date in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games representing the rapidly emerging nature of this sport on the North American scene.

Safety and respect for other winter recreationalists is of utmost importance to the biathlon community. Prior shooting experience is not necessary. Rifle safety and instruction will be provided on race day for those who do not take the Pre-Comp Clinic. Community rifles and ammunition are provided for those who do not have their own. Community rifles are left at the shooting range. You do not ski with a rifle unless you bring your own. Athletes ski with unloaded and unchambered weapons and shoot live ammunition only at targets within the designated range area during scheduled and supervised times.
