MERRY QUARANTINE CHRISTMAS! (YES, I SAID IT!) Kelli Morgan-Langley WRITER
and just spend time together reminiscing about Christmases in Christmas 2020…..what a new the past; to watch the young kids and novel experience this will revel in the gifts and the lights on be! Will we be quarantined? Will the tree; and to remember those there be civil unrest? Will we be who came before us. able to go to the mall on ChristWith the way things are now, mas Eve for that last minute gift, we’re not going to be able to go or will Uncle Charlie just do withto church, or anywhere else, on out? One thing is for sure, this Christmas this year. If you have will be a Christmas like no other a large family, someone’s going anyone in our era has ever seen. to have to miss out, because the But in one way, it may turn out all powers that be are restricting us right for everyone. Looking back to no more than ten people in the through the past generations, home. Sorry Dave, but you and people didn’t always gather in your family will have to miss out, huge extended groups to cele- your two older brothers RSVP’ed brate. In the 1800’s, many fami- first…. lies were in the processes of immigrating west, or south, so often it was just immediate family who gathered for the holiday. There were no airplanes, or busses, and very few trains, which put a big damper on traveling for the holiday. If you couldn’t get there in your buckboard, you just didn’t go. But on the other hand…. Where you DID go was to church….no matter what church you attended, how much snow was on the ground, everyone went to church on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Dressed in your Sunday best, (and Sunday was the only day you wore those clothes other than special occasions), everyone piled into the wagon, or later the family sedan or truck, and headed for services, to see young people act out the Nativity scene, listen to the preacher (or minister, or priest, or whatever they called themselves) tell about the night our Savior came into the world, and enjoy fellowship with our friends, family and neighbors. There was often some kind of meal or at least snacks, and a gift-giveaway for the children. It was a time to come together as a community, to communicate with your neighbors, to gossip and see how much all the neighborhood kids have grown; in other words, to promote good will and fellowship in the community. Afterward the entire family would gather to open gifts, cook and eat a huge meal, play games,
While small shops who usually turn their profit for the year at this time are shut down or severely limited, mega-corporations such as Wal-Mart, Target, Lowes, etc. are raking in the profits from both in-store sales and on-line purchases. Amazon has seen its profits skyrocket during this time. But in the meantime, Judy’s Boutique and other small shops will be shut down, as will the corner bar where we gathered for drinks after a shopping trip and the local diner who does not have access to an outdoor facility for its diners. These small mom and pop businesses will be forced to take out loans in order to survive, or shut down completely. Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas to them, right?
visitors. So if we do go see them, it’s through an outside window, and we’re not allowed to hold their hands or hug them. Calling this is a “lock-down” is wrong; it should be called a “lock-up”…Shouldn’t we be going to see them now? Especially on Christmas? When there are so many memories to be made? I remember my Grandma’s silver Christmas tree, trimmed with red balls and red lights; all five of my mom’s siblings and their families, 20 cousins in all, plus in-laws, out-laws, friends, and anyone who needed a place to go on Christmas Eve used to stop by throughout the day: some with gifts they brought (Grandpa’s friends’ “gifts” often came in a bottle in a brown paper bag), some just to say hello and hope for an invitation to dinner. And what a dinner! Turkey, ham, the best home-made cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, fresh cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls that were just perfect for throwing at the kids at the “little” kids table by us who sat at the “big” kids table. Gifts from Grandma were often homemade, and the rest of all had all drawn names at Thanksgiving to see who we had to buy for, because there was no way we could get everyone a gift. Gifts were bought in brick and mortar stores; no Amazon or FedEx trucks bringing presents. Grandma crocheted a stocking for everyone in the family, and they all hung on the mantle. I remember worrying that, if we spent the night, if Santa would find us? He always did!
Way back in 2019 and beyond we used to go see Grandma, Grandpa, or other relatives who were in retirement homes on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day….no more of that! The people who gave us life, who taught us what the sea- Christmas Day found us waking son is supposed to be all about, up before dawn to see if Santa are locked up tight, allowed no had arrived, and playing with the
toys that he had brought. It had to be Santa, because there was no way Mom and Dad could have afforded the things he brought! When the grown-ups got up we had a huge breakfast, and then had to get dressed for church. No one opened any gifts until we got home, which made for some very long services! When we finally did get back home, each person sat patiently, waiting until whatever dad or older boy cousin who was passing out gifts was ready to begin. Then the wrapping paper would fly! No gift bags like now, these bad boys were wrapped in that thin Christmas wrapping but tied up with a ton of curling ribbon. We threw the paper in the fireplace, and every year, at least once, Grandma would yell because she said the fire was so big it was coming out the top of the chimney. We would all preen and show off what we got, and there was always that one cousin who didn’t get what they wanted and would start crying…it never failed! At the end of the day, we’d all pack up the gifts and left-overs and head for home, knowing we’d all be back together on Easter.
This year will be uncharted territory for many families, with all of the lock-downs and quarantine measures in place. No more than 10 people, you have to wear a mask, must be outside, must let the government know who was with you so they can establish contact tracing….Big Brother is watching us for sure. Kids who are away at college will more than likely not be able to come home due to travel restrictions, Grandma will be eating a turkey TV dinner at the rest home, and small business owners will be scrambling to figure out how they Merry Quarantine Christmas Continued on page 3

Alano Club Toy Run Ghost Writer WRITER
It was a cold morning on Saturday, November 14th when we showed up to take some pictures and live video to help show how most folks have a wrong impression about Bikers. We had a prior engagement we had to attend, but least wanted to slide by and catch the opening of the Alano Club Toy Run for 2020. These good folks came together to raise toys and funds to help kids in the local community. The Fresno, Ca. I arrived around 9 Toy Run was held at Alano Club am and there was not that many located at 1350 N. 11th street in Bikers and others there just yet. There were several vendors working on getting their booths setup and the kitchen was open serving food. The Registration table had a steady flow of folks signing up and before you knew it there was about 70-75 Bikes parking in the parking lot.

and friends after the successful giveaway, a great time had by all in attendance and with a warm heart I am looking forward to next year.
But there is one thing that will never change: this season is a season for children. There’s nothing like the look of awe on a baby’s face when he sees the lights on a tree for the first time; the squeal of delight when that pre-teen opens up a present and finds her very first cell phone; the look in their eyes when they finally look at the Nativity Scene and actually understand what the season is all about; the noise and laughter that accompanies baking cookies or wrapping gifts; picking out the
motorcycles) at Bakersfield Harley-Davidson. We will have t-shirts available for purchase but under current health restrictions we are not able to commit to food and beverages. Even though we cannot have our usual event, the needs of Kern County’s families is even more acute than ever. We hope everyone will be able to make this event and do what they can to help, bring your friends, help out as you can and help us look forward to a return to normal in 2021.
perfect tree; and the anticipation you can feel coming off of them as they climb into bed on Christmas Eve, sure they’ll never fall asleep because they can’t wait to see what Santa brought. These are the important things, the things that no government mandate can take from us. And if you want to gather, do so! If you want to wear a mask, feel free to do that also. Life is too short to not make memories!!! Whatever this holiday brings, follow your heart, have fun, and please be safe! MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y’ALL!!!!

Coffee & Cars II Ghost Writer WRITER So, I took a ride up to Yosemite Hemp in Friant on Saturday morning because I heard there was a car show going on and WOW was there ever a car show going on. From about a quarter mile away, I could see several cars parked on both sides of the road. The closer I got I was able to see that the Yosemite Hemp Co. parking lot was jammed packed with cars and trucks for the show. There were even a few cars across the street already for there was not enough room in the parking lot for everyone to show off their car or truck. For the next hour I continued to watch even more folks showing up to enjoy the show and more coming to show off their cars and trucks. By
the time I left there was about 70 cars and trucks in the show. I was told they are going to try and put one on the first Saturday of each month. I think this will be good for our community. Lots of folks are looking for something fun to do. Well from what I seen, They Found it… It was good to see folks out enjoying themselves. Staying at home is not so good for our mental health. I will be going out to more of the Coffee and Cars Show in the future and by the way. These are open to Cars, Trucks and Bikes. So, make some plans to attend one and show off your ride and have some fun.

Kelli Langley WRITER By The weather is turning cooler, little hobgoblins are roaming the street, pumpkin spice everything is on the shelves of every grocery store….This time of year people start thinking of the holidays: Turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving, Christmas lights and music, epic New Year’s parties, and the joy of spending time with friends and family. But before we stuff the turkey or hang the bright lights, we celebrate Veteran’s Day. This is the day that we, as Americans, should all stop and remember those who chose to sacrifice their lives and freedoms so that we may continue to live in a nation where we are free speak our minds, to worship as we please, and to celebrate the holidays that make us uniquely American.

returned home and married his wife, Betty, on July 14, 1953. He remained in the military, and he and his family, which would eventually include two daughters and four sons, moved all over the world, wherever the Army took him. As a young enlisted man, he went wherever his services were needed, and over the years made his
way up through the ranks. When the Viet Nam conflict broke out, Sergeant First Class Tilley went over as a member of the exclusive Special Forces Green Beret. He put his life in danger virtually every day as a platoon member on combat patrols. He helped lead his men through some of the roughest terrain on Earth, in a country where you couldn’t be sure if the person approaching you was an ally or an enemy. His calm demeanor and extreme courage made it possible for him to lead young men into dangerous situations, knowing they could depend on him to get them out. On February 7, 1967, Tilley’s bravery was at its most apparent. During a routine patrol, he and his platoon were attacked by a much larger group of Viet Cong soldiers. While the platoon leader ordered a retreat, Tilley covered them so they could reach an area where they could set up a defensive perimeter. During the battle the platoon leader was killed, and Tilley took over. He directed his men in battle and called in for air support, all the time firing his weapon and tending to those men who were wounded. As the men prepared to be picked up by helicopter, Sergeant Tilley single-handedly attacked the enemy with a vengeance, firing his weapon and throwing grenades, while his men safely reached the evacuation site. He then returned to the site of battle to ensure the wounded men were carried out and the bodies of those killed recovered before he climbed aboard the helicopter himself.

type of rider that gets frustrated riding a little slower than your normal pace or waiting up for other riders, you may just want to say “meet ya there” and take your own route. Everyone will be better off with this decision. If you can set aside your normal riding style a bit and ride for the group then let’s rip! Make sure there is a designated leader. The leader will set the pace of the ride and also must obviously know the route, so no one gets lost. This is such an important role because you are
tween leader and sweep. Make sure the sweep also knows the route in case a gap in the group forms. Before kickstands go up, it’s a good idea to have a Riders Meeting to let everyone know the details of the ride. Where you’re going, general pace, whether or not you plan on lane-splitting, etc. That way all the riders know what they’re getting into. Check-in with everyone to see what their riding ability is so you can organize the group with faster riders in the front. It is not really possible to

posts their turns and the leader and sweep are established, everyone will get there. Worst case scenario you google map yourself to the location on your own. This is a much better scenario versus you riding outside of your comfort zone.
Being able to experience your favorite roads and destinations with a group will create fast friends and provide you with incredible memories that will last a lifetime. So, grab some friends and saddle up! All roads lead to Babes Ride Out!!!!
