Rave — A recent talk by Tony Gurule of Ratio Christi on Sharia law drew comment from “Francine Mejia,” who wrote, “Never heard of this guy. I hope the Tribune covers this (Madera Republican Women Federated) speech. I’m not a Republican but I want to know all views.” (For more on Ratio Christi, visit www.ratiochristi.org).
Rave — “Brian Thomas” offered advice for future trips Madera police can take with Big Brothers Big Sisters. “If you are legally allowed to do it, let’s try to take those kids to Magic Mountain or Disneyland. Monterey (Bay Aquarium) is fine,but you can get grants or a Go Fund Me account to take these kids and at least one parent to Magic Mountain or Disneyland. When the Parks and Rec. had that program back in the old days, that was the most fun I have ever had in my life as a kid.”
