I worked with Ralph Kaelble and Tim Ward in the District Attorney’s Office from 1999 to 2010 (the year I retired). I would like to tell you why I think Ralph Kaelble is the best man for the job of Tulare County District Attorney. He is an excellent attorney and a very capable supervisor of […]
Mr. Pastis, I am very much concerned about the way you reported from the “Candidates Forum” for the two Sheriff candidates on Wednesday 26th of April in front of our Rotary Club! I think it would have been more honest of you to choose a title: ”Vote for Boudreaux – I do not like Whaley!” […]
Mr. Oldenbourg, Just read From the Publisher’s Desk column in the March 6th edition of the Valley Voice. Just want you to know that I support Sheriff Boudreaux and will vote for him. The very fact that he had a gun raffle shows that he is in touch with the citizens of Tulare County, except […]

We often will read in the paper, or watch mindlessly on our TV screens, disinformation that teaches us of apparent “inherent violence” in the medical marijuana community. What a lot of these stories being run are not telling you […]
We are in the holiday season and many of us think of what we might do to help others. There are many, many persons throughout the United States who are in medical need of a stem cell transplant after other cancer therapies have failed.

I and no other good minded and non criminal record person have a single reason to use the park currently because we have no reason to: Hang out there Be seen there Walk there Visit there Play there Party there Drink or do drugs there Sleep there Sell drugs there Seek prostitutes there Panhandle or […]
