Steering Columncolumn SteeringSteering ColumnColumn September 2016 Volume 57 Issue 09 Take Me Out to the Ball Game The opening ceremonies started with our own Earl Aceves Jr. playing his sax rendition of the National Anthem which brought a great round of applause by the enthusiastic crowd. The sheriff's department helicopter then gave a flyby and awed the crowd with the maneuvers and to welcome the players and spectators in the stands. “Bernie” the Inland Empire 66ers mascot also thrilled the crowd with his antics with the Little League Empire's. After introductions of all involved in hosting this spectacular annual event; the Western Regional Tournament - which is conducted by our own local headquarters. The facilities are immaculately groomed and manicured by a group of volunteers that take great pride in the facilities. To the participants, this feels like a major league ballpark compared to their home field. A tape recorded message from “Mr. Baseball” Vin Scully, welcomed the players, coaches and families, and to wish them the best of luck in the tournament and in their endeavors to be a winner and to be rewarded with a trip to Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series. To pay homage to the victims of the Dec 2, 2015, terrorist attack in San Bernardino, and to recognize the first responders, a special on-field ceremony was held before the Little League Baseball® Western Regional Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 13. Pizza in the Park The August General Meeting was held outdoors at Fairmont Park in Riverside to make it centrally located for all club members. President, Tom Valdez, called a very informal meeting to order at 5:30pm. Since we did not follow our regular agenda there were no reports. Our annual Pizza in the Park festivities takes place this time of year because the Little League regionals are currently taking place and our regular meeting place is too busy to accommodate our group. 24 members attended our annual outdoor event for a twilight snack in a shady area. Sincere thanks to our committees for making this outing a success; Rick & Dee, for arranging and picking up the pizzas, Nancy and Earl, Renee and all that participated in bringing salad side dishes. Moto Bueno. T Y H T B - Antoinette’s Italian Bistro 18 members visited Antoinette's Bistro for a great lunch of Italian delicacies for this months TYHTB. Thanks to Dave and Dan for parking in front of the restaurant so that all the participants could locate the business. Our hostess set up a long table to accommodate our group and the service was great - and so was the food. To show our appreciation for everything Tom brought a bouquet of roses to present to our host for their great service. It was great to hear that none of our members living near the fire areas suffered any damage. Monica confirmed that she was okay and there was concern about the Messenger’s, but everybody was okay. No one in our group suffered any loss or damage. Phil said it was a little smoky but did not have to evacuate. After a great meal, a photo op and thanks for an outstanding meal and service we parted ways. 07 Aug - Take Me Out to the Ball Game 09 Aug - Pizza in the Park 27 Aug - TYHTB - Antoinette’s Italian Bistro The Paradise Valley Model A Ford Club is a chartered club affiliated with the national organization, Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA).

The film offers a blending of the Western and science fiction genres, and Autry employs such modern devices as aircraft, radio, television, and even laser rays to protect Radio Ranch from the predatory designs of evil scientists and business interests seeking to exploit the radium deposits found in the subterranean city of Murania, located below the ranch. Autry is able to save the ranch from these threats, both alien and domestic, by completing his scheduled radio broadcasts. The premise of the film is that 45 the Western environment may only be preserved through an adaptation to modernism, which will reduce regional isolationism and ensure the overall survival of the American West. Thus, as the protagonist of The Phantom Empire portraying himself, Autry appears as somewhat of a New Deal cowboy protecting the common people of 1 the West from greedy outside business interests. In his post World War II career as an entertainer and entrepreneur, Autry maintained the Hollywood cowboy image he had successfully cultivated throughout the 1930s.

  • The Day the Singing Cowboy Rode Into Town
    The Day The Singing Cowboy Rode Into Town It’s not often a famous entertainer makes a stop in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. But on occasion it does happen. When it does, it’s a big deal. On January 18, 1950, Gene Autry came to town and put on a live show at the Oshkosh Theater in downtown Main Street. Known as “The Singing Cowboy”, Gene Autry was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. His career spanned 70 years and he was famous in motion pictures, radio, television and as a recording artist. During his career, he wrote and sang hundreds of songs, starred in 93 movies and 91 television productions. In his later years, Autry owned a television and radio station on the west coast and even owned a major league baseball team, the Los Angeles Angels.¹ Some of his Christmas songs still get play and are popular today. On that Wednesday, the city was “electric”. The local Sears store on Merritt Street invited kids to come and see Autry’s equally famous horse named “Champion” from 2:30-3:30pm. Free autographed photos of the famous cowboy were given to the first 1,000 kids in attendance.² Two live performances were also scheduled that day at the Oshkosh Theater featuring a 4pm matinee and an evening performance at 8:30pm. The live shows were billed as “Gene Autry and his Melody Ranch Hands with Champion, the Wonder Horse”. Also featured in the performance was Rufe Davis, Pat Buttram, the Cass County Boys, The Pinafores, Frankie Marvin and Little Champ. All seats were reserved with matinee seating priced at $1.80, $1.20 and 90¢, the evening show a bit more.
