THE FLAG
(Just a short warning in advance…this is my opinion, and I don’t expect every single person to agree with me. But since this is such a hot button issue in this country right now, I think it needs to be addressed. If we could all meet and have a civil dialogue on this subject, we might all get along better!) By Kelli Langley
V
ery few issues are as controversial and divisive as the situation with professional athletes kneeling in protest when our Flag flies and our National Anthem is played. Players have claimed they kneel because the Anthem has a racist verse; because of police brutality against black Americans; because black Americans are oppressed…. and this list goes on….There are as many reasons for the “protest” as there are players kneeling. But the question is, why disrespect the flag? Since 1777, our flag has flown over battlefields in the United States, Mexico, Europe, the Pacific Islands, Korea, Asia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and any other place our troops are deployed. Hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers, sailors and Marines of all races and religions have given their lives fighting for what people now call “just a piece of cloth”. The photo of six Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima in 1945, a battle in which 6,800 Americans lost their lives and another 20,000 were injured or missing, has become one of the most copied photographs of all time and symbolizes how American service members respected and revered the flag as a symbol of our nation. Until recently, the flag has been a symbol of pride and love for our country. Each school child began his or her day with hand over heart, reciting the flag salute. Men removed their hats when the flag passed or the Anthem played, and people took great care to never let the flag touch the ground. The flag was present at every presidential inauguration, in every school classroom, and at most public events. A large American flag graced the podium when Martin Luther King gave his infamous “I
Have a Dream” speech. And perhaps most importantly, the American flag draped the coffin of every service member killed in the line of duty as their remains were shipped back to their loved ones, signifying what that person fought and died for.
bringing his “protest” to the attention of the media. Of course, this athlete needed that attention, as he had been benched for ineffectiveness and was in line to lose several big money endorsements. The media, hungry for a controversial story, covered his “proThe flag represents freedom and our test” day and night. rights: freedom that most residents of At first he claimed he was protestother countries do not have.

He decides that he will on both sides refusing to listen to the not respect the flag by standing and other. saluting it as the National Anthem plays, but will instead kneel in protest. This athlete, who was raised in an upper-middle class family by parents who adopted him despite the fact that his racial background was not the same as theirs, decides that he has been oppressed because of the color of his skin. And guess what? He got a lot of attention, after
This player and his followers have every right to protest; it’s protected by the First Amendment. I don’t think anyone would argue that. What many people are arguing is that by refusing to stand for the flag and the Anthem, these people are disrespecting what so many fought and died for. Thousands of people, including black Americans, have given their
lives so that these people can protest. If you’re willing to take American dollars, you could at least show some respect for the Americans who gave everything to keep you free. If these players truly cared about what was happening in their community, why didn’t they do something during the off-season? Taking a knee does nothing: go into the neighborhoods that are truly oppressed and talk to the kids there! Teach them that education and staying in school leads to success, that having six babies by six different partners does not make you a man, that cooperating with law enforcement greatly diminishes your chance of being injured or killed by an officer. Simple things that our society seems to have forgotten. Go to the local police station and ask what you can do to help ease the tension between the community and law enforcement. Then go to the V.A., or a Veteran’s Home, and talk to the men and women who were actually in battle, who were willing to give everything to protect our freedom. Talk to a Gold Star family, who lost someone so that people here have the right to protest whatever they feel like. Ask someone who has been handed that folded flag if they would take a knee. The players who truly believe in their protest have every right to do so; just as those who disagree with them have the right to express their opinions. I won’t boycott the NFL or stop wearing a certain brand of clothing just because of these players, but I won’t judge those who do. It’s all a matter of respect. If we all work together to respect each other, this will be a non-issue in no time. Until then, my flag will fly high, and I’ll stand up when I hear the National Anthem!

The Caring Veterans of America do a great job of getting the required services for local vets and the Sierra Shadow Casters felt that it would be a great honor to help them in their cause. There was a great turn out of riders and generous donations from local merchant for their raffles, and overall there was fantastic weather for an excellent and beautiful ride through the mountains. They encountered a fairly major glitch that did not come up until the last minute when the caterer they hired (Joe’s Catering) failed to show up. Later Joe admitted he messed up but the club vows to never call on him again. The situation was quickly solved when the club came together and made lunch happen. They sent people on a mad dash to Vons to get stuff and provided 150 meals in record time at the Elks Lodge which consisted of tacos, beans and rice to some very hungry bikers. On behalf
of the Sierra Shadow Casters Motorcycle Club they would like to thank everyone that pitched in and helped with lunch. Chef Ryan Simas (Narrow Gage Inn) their newest candidate was assisted by two walk in guests who are chefs themselves, Johnny Christopher and Mary Christopher as well as numerous club members and club friends that brought this run to a happy and great ending for ev-
eryone to enjoy and remember. The Sierra Shadow Casters would also like to thank all the riders that came out to support them and Caring Veterans of America and make this ride happen. It truly was an honor meeting all of you and getting to know some of you. We look forward to seeing you on future runs. And a special thanks to Jaded for coming out and cranking out the great tunes and putting on a great show. We here at CC Biker and Motorsports newspaper would like to send a special thanks to the Sierra Shadow Casters Motorcycle Club for inviting us and giving us full access and making us feel like family and for making sure we had everything we needed and felt comfortable. Thanks to the donations of the local community, Chukchansi Gold Resort, Sierra Telephone, Clawson Honda, The Roadhouse, Julio’s Pinstriping, dozens of businesses and well over a hundred bikers. The SSC was able to present the Caring Veteran’s of America a check for $6100.00.

END OF SUMMER SUPER BASH By Christina Nunez and Ray Tackett

O
the location for the very first End of Summer Super Bash and that’s where the fun really began. Local rock band “Angels to Some” took the stage to kick things off with DJ Mac Steel spinning tunes in between sets keeping the venue rockin’ while attendees browsed the vendor booths, sampled the awe-
some food vendors wares, checked out the various raffle prizes and admired the 2018 Harley Davidson Lowrider being raffled off that Mathews Harley Davidson helped Twice The Love LLC provide. There was a Bike Show and a Car Show and of course the Biker Rodeo to show case the riders talents. Among the many contests two of the crowd’s favorites were the Bike Toss and the Keg Toss competitions for both the men and women. If you missed out on the event this year be sure to make next years. You will have a great time and you won’t regret it. All the money raised goes directly to the Cray Croft Cancer Center at Valley Children’s Hospital so your donations stay right here at home in your community. Congratulations to the rodeo competition and raffle winners and a job well done to the event organizers. Twice The Love LLC, the Under Lords MC, Screamin Demons MC and we here at CC Biker and Motorsports would like to give a big Thank You to all that showed up to support and donate to this wonderful cause.

There are several to choose from in
is at Hobbs Grove. From the midway with food vendors, firepits, bands, and spooky creatures wandering around, to the haunted house, haunted forest, and haunted hayride, there’s something for everyone. The latest attraction is The Portal, a laser-shooting experience
with a spooky theme. This is truly one of the most awesome Halloween attractions in the valley. The Haunted House is a mixture of scary/funny attractions, but you never know what is coming around the next corner. The Haunted Forest is a hike through the woods that you’ll never forget, with a different ghost or ghoul behind every tree. And finally, the Hayride…my personal favorite…a ride through the eerie countryside, where you find monsters, ghouls, and even a bunch of friendly hillbillies to keep you company, while you cuddle (or huddle) up with your friends and family. There’s something for everyone here, with ticket prices ranging from $16.50 for each attraction to $37.00 to $48.00 for all 4 attractions, depending on the dates you go. Hobbs Grove opens September 28 and runs through Halloween; they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, check out their website for dates and times.
tures. A family-friendly feature is the Black-Out Maze, in which it’s just you, the corn and the dark. This maze is not “haunted”, nothing is going to jump out at you, it’s just a harrowing trip through the corn on a dark night. Wicker Village is the site of a nuclear accident; as you wander through the village, you see the devastation caused by this disaster, and meet some of the “victims” who want to share their experience with you. Snyd’s Sideshow and Oddities is a version of the circus side-show tent, only this side-show is one that will leave a lasting impression! Tickets range from $10.00 to $15.00 per attraction, and from $30.00 to $35.00 for a combo pack, depending on the date. They are open nightly from October 5 through the 31st, and they also have a website you can check out.
There are plenty of other attractions to check out for this spooky holiday, as well as Halloween parRAISIN HELL RANCH, ties at local bars and clubs, so we hope to see you out there! I’ll bet Madera, CA some of us can scare the hell out of Raisin Hell Ranch is probably the those ghouls and goblins!

print Car Insider – LAS VEGAS, Nev. (September 13, 2018) Two fast females added another page in the history books today at the dirt track at Las Vegas motor speedway. Hailie Deegan became the first female to ever land a NASCAR K&N Pro series pole this afternoon as the series is set to take on the dirt for the first time in its history with the Star Nursery 100 at the dirt track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Within hours, Brooklyn “pretty” Holland, of Fresno, Ca dropped quick time on the Western Race Saver 305 sprint car field on the same surface.

Being talented females, with the drive and ambition matching any race car driver before them, they will have to go the extra mile to gain that respect from their peers. However, it’s quite evident they have no intention of sitting around and waiting for approval. The results speak for themselves. When they put the helmets on and strap into the car the track knows no gender. The track owes no one.
