The nonprofit organization Save Mount Diablo is on a mission to restore the historic Eye of Diablo, the beacon lit annually atop Mount Diablo by local Pearl Harbor survivors to honor those who died in the attack. Originally lit by Charles Lindbergh in 1928, the beacon was shut off due to the West Coast blackout following the attack on Dec. 7. It was relit on Dec. 7, 1964, and has shone every year since. For more information or to donate, call 925- 947-3535 or visit www.savemountdiablo.org.

Adopt a pet
May 18, 2013 | 177 views | 0 0 comments | 0 0 recommendations | email to a friend | print
Pets aren’t for everyone, but if you decide to welcome a furry friend into your life, consider adopting a cat or dog from a local animal rescue. Several pet rescues are located right here in East County, offering dozens of cats and dogs looking for a forever home. The weekend of June 1, local rescues Animal Rescue Recon, HALO (Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization), Delta Animal Safe Haven, HARP (Homeless Animal Rescue Program), Cat Support Network and Umbrella of Hope will participate in Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days. Hosted annually by the Maddie’s Foundation, the event is a free pet adoption fundraiser. Last year, Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days facilitated the adoption of 2,601 dogs and cats in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. For every pet adopted, local rescue organizations receive funding to maintain their programs. Run by volunteers, the rescues depend on funding from the Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days event to continue saving animals from overcrowded shelters. To find a participating event near you, visit adopt.maddiesfund.org.

Have you ever wondered where zombies come from? If so, celebrate Zombie Awareness Month on Wednesday, May 22 at 4 p.m. in the Brentwood Community Center, 35 Oak St. The 90-minute presentation Zombies, Radiation, and You! – appropriate for children 10 and older – is sponsored by Friends of the Brentwood Library. Brooke Buddemeier, certified health physicist and radiation safety specialist in the Global Security directorate of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, will explore the link between radiation and zombification and how we can protect our families and ourselves during natural disasters, nuclear events and the impending zombie apocalypse. The public is invited to support the Friends of the Brentwood Library through the library’s ongoing book sale or by becoming a member for $10 annually. For more information, visit www.ccclib.org/friends/bre.html. For more information about the zombie event, call 925-516-5290.
