Gun Violence Prevention Task Force In
America's re-energized debate on gun control most people agree

America. We'll speak with Representative Thompson about his role as
the Chair of the House Democrats Gun Violence Prevention Task Force
and whether our region can prevent gun violence without leaning on

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro Follow Up Over the
course of seven days in February, doctors Randi and Paul Hagerman,
along with other scientists from the UC Davis MIND Institute, made
their way through forest woodlands, alpine desert and arctic zones

fragile X syndrome and fragile X-associated disorders and to raise

The fundraised money will go directly toward the research efforts

The Women of "Robyn is Happy" The B Street
Theatre's latest production "Robyn is Happy" is a new piece that
showcases incredibly strong performances from three local
actresses. The content isn't always easy, but neither is life, and

play because he missed seeing funny, fearless and ferocious women
on the stage. We'll talk with actresses Elizabeth Nunziato, Melinda
Parrett and Amy Kelly about playing three life-long friends who
find their relationships unraveling when one of them falls for a
man she shouldn't.
