tronagirl: I don't have a lot of faith in rumors. All I know at this point is what the newspaper said. Everything else is speculation. When people start talking the story is likely to get all twisted around and different people add things here and there that they assume for one reason or another. Accusations are sometimes true and sometimes they are false. You just never know and even after a verdict is reached, there is often doubt about whether or not it is based on what really happened. The justice system is a crapshoot.

Suspect pulls gun on clerk in Ridgecrest
I hate to see this kind of thing. Hopefully they catch the thug quickly. Anyone who would offend in this manner using a gun should be put away for a long, long time, if not permanently.

Junior Rodeo comes to Kernville
Here's an interesting event that took place in Kernville...

The Kern Valley (KV) Junior Rodeo debuted last year in Ridgecrest, and now Kernville has been added to its rodeo schedule. On April 14-15 at the Kernville rodeo grounds, kids from ages 1 to 18 participated in over 60 rodeo events that were modified to fit the age and size of the contestants.

... but which is organized by people from Trona.

The KV Junior Rodeo was founded and is run by Skylar and Melissa McCullar of Trona, and Melissa’s mother, Colleen Brock, of Inyokern. After many years being organizers for large rodeos in Ridgecrest, they saw the need for a separate and regular rodeo schedule for younger kids.
