Inglewood’s Kelso Elementary
Reopens to Happy Students and Faculty
IUSD leadership came out to show support to Kelso Elementary students, with a big, warm “WELCOME BACK” greeting. We are thrilled to have some of our outstanding students back on campus. Photo courtesy Inglewood Unified School District.

I have to admit, once in a while, I tune in
old episodes of the “Golden Girls” that are
repeated almost nightly on a cable channel.
We all need a laugh still today. Laughing
has been proven to help us mentally and
physically. Wow! Can you believe that I
have written all of this without telling you
to have a cold one, relax, and let God love

with contactless order and pickup. When the
movie starts, you’ll be able to live completely
in those movie moments with state-of-the-art
wireless headphones (sanitized thoroughly
after each use) and an amazing view of the
big screen.
The venue will be located in the parking
structure at 1310 E Franklin Ave. Tickets
are offered for two different types of deckchairs
– a single Lounge Seat for one or a
double-width Love Seat for two (and Student
Discount tickets are offered at 10% off). And
the screenings go ahead come rain or shine.
Rooftop Cinema Club (whose tagline is
Love, Peace and Great Film) believes that
all experiences should be memorable, which
is why they are on a mission to transform
nights at the movies in to cinematic events
like no other. “You bring your friends and
loved ones, and we’ll bring you city skylines,
sunsets, starlit evenings, awesome drinks,
delicious food, and great movies on the
big screen.” Rooftop Cinema Club is also
currently running a drive-in theater experience
at the Santa Monica Airport through
May 31st.
So come on out and support this unique
big screen experience, make some new
memories, and remember why social cinema
events like this are so meaningful and should
be celebrated and saved as we return to our
post-pandemic lives.

Citizen Scientists from front page
are empowered to delve deeper into these
endeavours and develop thoughtful connections
with other fellow science enthusiasts. It’s
categorically a mutually beneficial partnership
for all parties involved.
One such initiative that is particularly near and
dear to my heart is the annual Great Backyard
Bird Count. Southern California is an oasis for
migratory and native birdlife and one can make
a meaningful contribution to our understanding
of the region’s biodiversity to the benefit of all.
Bird watchers of all ages and experience are encouraged
to tally up the number of birds in their
vicinity to help researchers develop a better
idea of the local bird population and report
back online. This precious dataset incalculably
aids scientists at the National Audubon Society,
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Birds Canada
to glean a clearer picture of global bird health
and help guide focused and collaborative actions
to protect bird habitats through conservation.
Bird populations are constantly in flux and responding
to a plethora of shifting variables such
as climate fluctuations and habitat loss. This data
will be crucial in understanding how warming
weather patterns and man-made environmental
blights are having an adverse effect on bird movements
around the world. And this is a worthwhile
and imperative campaign to be involved with.
I must concede that I find little more satisfying
than trundling out onto my patio most
mornings and being treated to a serenade of
garrulous house sparrows or mischievous scrub
jays mid-chorus. I find retreating to the joys of
birdwatching the ideal antidote to the anxiety
and isolation that many are prone to feeling
during quarantine. And to be collaborative
with a responsive and supportive community
of fellow science-aficionados as well, alas,
that’s just an added bonus.
So let’s all turn our eyes toward the natural
world a little longer and leap headlong into a
realm of lifelong-learning and public engagement
alongside a coterie of other concerned
strangers that share your values for the advancement
of science. And together we’ll forge
a new path to newfound insights and urgent
realizations about our environment.
In the interim, keep those binoculars clean,
your boots dry, and your curiosity outsized
as you continue to frolic further outdoors this
Spring season. •
you? Some of you don’t like beer. Some
of you can’t relax. Some of you don’t like
my preaching. So, maybe you have enjoyed
my travel log today. It’s like the old slide
shows we would show of our trips to Hawaii
or Mexico. No one was interested in
seeing us have a good time. Just like all of
the thousands of photos we take on our cell
phones of our trips and we don’t even go
back and look at them ourselves. America
is beautiful. There are many, many great
places to visit. It is always nice to get back
home. Cali may have its problems, but it’s
still not too bad of a place to live. My dear,
loyal readers and you other folk, get out and
see this great country. Wear your mask, take
photos, see the sites, relax, have a cold one
and let God love you. Thanks for allowing
me to put you to sleep. Maybe next week
I will get back to writing some more better,
rumbling, stupid stuff. This was boring! It’s
difficult to be stupid all the time.
