Yucca Valley, Ca.- While visiting one of the non profit booths at our local Yucca Valley Certified Farmers Market, I noticed a tall figure walking quickly past me. No big deal, there are several shoppers in a hurry that may need to step a quick pace but for the most part, many shoppers are strolling. Oh-oh! Nine o’clock, “The Pacer” returns in a circular pattern, I keep my eyes forward and observe using the peripheral vision skills I was taught many moons ago. After “The Pacer” passed I quickly...

GPAC Jerks around and runs out of time revisited

Originally posted Nov 28, 2009— Lead by a complete incompetent fool (the incarnate of the Emperor of California Joshua Norton I) and weighted down by an over abundance of self-serving Eco-loons, the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) finds itself at the end of the line. What started out to be a way for the average citizen to have a say in the future of Twentynine Palms, turned out to be a soapbox for special interest groups like the Mojave Land Trust, Community OHV Watch and the Grunt-Smith-Flanagan Cabal.

We are between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Twentynine Palms— Jim Harris is the only incumbent member of the 29 Palms City Council running for reelection. While we have disagreed at times, I  hold no personal animosity against  Jim. The five other candidates for Twentynine Palms City Council worth your consideration in addition to Harris are Planning Commissioner Carey Alderson, businessman Larry Briggs, small business owner Mark W. Clemons, businessman and Planning Commissioner Daniel L. Mintz Sr., and engineering technician and General Plan Advisory Committee member Steven D. Whitten. All six are nice guys, and I believe...

Defending the Constitution: Chalk this one up to a 1st Amendment Fight

Twentynine Palms, Ca– The problem with the Chalkapalooza fiasco, is it brings out the very worst in some very good people. What we have here, is in our own small way, is  the Tea Party against the Red Coats. The Chalk-Fest argument had nothing to do with whether I liked Mel Berlin or Action Council 29 and everything to do with the 1st Amendment principle of a separation of church/non-profits and the State. The comments of Mel Berlin and Mr. Miller made in the local Desert Trail News Paper...
