Concerts, movies, ceremonies and more on tap

The Palmdale Amphitheater is celebrating its ninth season with an expanded series of concerts, festivals, events, movies and more.

“The Palmdale Amphitheater truly is a jewel of the Antelope Valley,” said Palmdale’s Recreation and Culture Manager Keri Brady. “More than a quarter of a million people have attended events here over the past nine years, and with the lineup we’ve got in store for 2013, we’ll definitely be adding to that number.”

Staff walks out over conditions

Thieves have forced the closure of Paris’ Louvre museum. But an art heist was not the reason.

Instead, the closure came after staff walked off the job on Wednesday in protest against the increasing number of pickpockets operating in the museum.

According to a report in The Guardian, the pickpockets work in organized gangs and are targeting both tourists and museum staff with “increasingly violent tactics,” including spitting and kicking.

Program strives to complete Feinstein Challenge

Palmdale’s South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES) food and shelter program, a participant in the 16th Annual Feinstein Challenge, is nearly halfway to its goal of raising 20,000 pounds of food, all of which will be eligible for matching funds.

“We raised 9,430 pounds of food during the month of March,” said SAVES Coordinator Patricia Morales. “Our goal is to raise 20,000 by the end of April. For every dollar or pound of food we raise, the Feinstein Foundation will match it with a dollar, up to $30,000.”
