Description: Are you a picky person? Are you named Peter Piper? If so, the Highland Senior Center has a new group that might be right up your alley. A group of singers, players, and strummers have formed the Highland Pickers Strummers and Singers. The club meets weekly at the Highland Senior Center on Wednesdays from 11 am to noon. They will hold additional jam sessions and club meetings at various locations to learn new songs or make plans for concerts. The objective of the club is to learn basic music theory, and then to apply it on the ukulele and other instruments, and we do mean other instruments. These have included kazoos, washboards, and pots and pans! Members will also develop their musical skills, either to perform solos or in ensembles. So if you've always wanted to learn to make music, pass on some musical knowledge, or just enjoy strumming strings, come on down to the center.

Mentalist Dinner Show
By: Mike Sylva

If you’ve ever seen “Psych” or “The Mentalist” you know what a Mentalist is. It’s a person who professes to read minds or tell fortunes. Again, if you’ve seen those shows, you know that a mentalist just uses observation and powers of deduction. Still, it’s pretty impressive and looks pretty magical.

Last month we had our own Mentalist/Magician, Carl Christman. He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He is also a professor of Communications at Riverside Community College, and uses his knowledge of psychology, nonverbal communication, and language to “read” people’s true thoughts and influence their choices.

One of the “tricks” he did was to take four audience members (3 females and 1 male), who drew pictures, and traded with each other while Carl’s back was turned. He then produced an envelope addressed to “THE MAN.” Inside the envelope was his prediction of the picture male would end up with and TADA...he was right.

Thanks to Linda Brian and Rosa Peraza for helping serve the audience their pasta dinner before the show, who made their food disappear.
