Studies show you’re not alone

It wasn’t that long ago that a summer job could pay for next year’s college tuition. Now, by working a summer job while you’re in college, you might be able to cover a few credits and a couple months’ rent.

One role still open

PALMDALE, Calif.—The Palmdale Playhouse is putting on a very unusual production this coming season called “The African Company Presents Richard III.” The nearly all-Black cast script is based on true events about America’s first all Black theater company in New York, circa 1821.

Linked through DNA

COMPTON, Calif.—A Palmdale man linked through a DNA database to the rape of a woman in Compton pleaded not guilty to charges that could land him in prison for life.

Paul Lorenzo Madry, 22, is accused of attacking the woman on Nov. 25, 2008, as she walked between the Compton courthouse and a parking structure.

Violin is their instrument of choice

The Antelope Valley is filled with talent, and some of this can sometimes go unnoticed, because it’s not necessarily in a category that is hot or popular. Violin players and sisters Rosalyn, 19, and Nia, 13, Darbeau are a perfect example of that.

Rosalyn has been active in music since her adolescent years.

“I’ve been playing music for about 12 years,” Rosalyn said. “I used to play the piano, but I wanted to try something new, so I chose the violin and I stuck to it.”
