Kate West Chester Editor chesternews@plumasnews.com Aspiring singers, dancers, musicians or even jugglers have just days left to make contact with event producer and Chester schools music di- rector Austin King. The annual Chester Talent Show will be held Wednesday, March 30, at 7 p.m. in the Chester Elementary School gymnasium. "We are looking for adult talent from the regional area of Westwood to Taylorsville that would like to participate. Singers, bands, instrumental- ists, poets, dancers -- are all welcome!" he said. As to younger participants, the talent show is open to all students in the Lake Almanor Basin who are at least junior high age and above. A popular event with the community, this year's show will likely feature several Chester High School drama skits and a group loosely known as the "Friends from Chico State." The cost to attend the show is $5 and children 5 and under will be admitted free of charge. Interested individuals or groups must call Austin King at 258-2126, ext. 220, to join the talent show lineup. King is asking that interest- ed performers call him no lat- er than Friday, March 25. All proceeds from the talent show will go toward funding the spring trip for the Chester High music program stu- dents. "In addition to needing funds for the spring trip, sheet music and instrument repair are always a special ex- pense need for the music de- partment," King said. Pear~on the go Search and rescue dog Pearl and her handler Ron Horetski have been keeping busy since the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals named her Dog of the Year for 2010. Pearl, a black Lab rescued by High Sierra Ani- mal Rescue, had barely finished a stint in New Zealand, helping with earthquake recovery, when she was called to duty in Japan along with her cohorts in the Los Angeles Fire Department's elite CA Task Force 2. The team arrived in Japan Sunday morning, March 14, and set up an operations base in Ofunato City. Follow their progress at fire.lacounty.gov. File photo.
