Brian T. Shirley You know that old saying " You can't judge a book by it's cover" drove the latest "ABC Art Contest" from LeRue Press and I'm honored to have had my second book "Four Score and Seven Beers Ago..." ed for second place in last year’s compe on. These old words of wisdom or "old wives tales" can some mes be true or just as wrong as anything. Have you ever really judged a book by the cover? I mean, picked one up and said "Man this looks like a cool story!" and read the novel and been bored to tears? I mean, how many women have seen a Fabio‐like pirate on a ship with the wind swirling his hair around while a blonde woman in a torn dress dangled in his arms as he fought off demons while the ocean was trying to wash them overboard on the cover of a book, read the novel and thought, "Wow, that really sucked?" I think what the original author of that wise old saying was telling us, as many of you know, things are not always what they seem. Well, this "saying" appears to fly in the face of reason when it come to adver sing and is actually a menace to our poli cians at mes. Actually. all the me if you ask me. More and more we are faced with food on billboards from restaurants that looks be er that what we really get, movie stars on posters who are airbrushed to look perfect in the ads for the latest movie and, of course, news feeds that are strained through the colander of poli cal correctness so we can all agree it’s fair and impar al. It's cool to pick up a novel to escape life for a while

“Walk the Turtle”
Mike Aloia
Decisions we make and choices we face, mistakes that are made and lessons we learn, these a ributes of life's journey tend to mold our character. Architectural landscapes inside each heart reveal the wonders of tomorrow, memories of certain moments in me remain eternal within the soul. The reali es of changes among those we once held close may dri away by the separa ons of paths taken, it will propel our spirit into the unknown. Fears of concurrences and consequence create the barriers and obstacles inside our mind, go forward in faith, it is the ul mate source of guidance. To give yourself to another, to allow them to hold your heart with complete uncondi onal love and devo on is choice by the deep feelings of trust.
Beacon of light To have the dreams of passion and romance along with the illusions of everlas ng love is something we all search for while scars of heartbreak exist. As we get back on track and strive to achieve our goals each year we seek knowledge and wisdom in order to fulfill our purpose and legacies. Some may shun your visions while others will give support, talents you share will define your spiritual beliefs as you find yourself in the abyss of lies. Being true to yourself among those that have no inner peace allows us to walk through the afflic ons and sorrows as we mend wounds of betrayal. Finding the innocence and holding on to our integrity is a fundamental aspect to uphold our dignity and to realize how genuine and priceless we are. Walk the turtle steady as we pace ourselves through this maze of change, we look in the mirror and witness a warrior emerge into a beacon of light. Mike Aloia is a father of two daughters and a proud grandfather. He is 50 years old and lives in Jacksonville, Florida. Mike is mul ‐talented: a cartoonist, comedian, musician, songwriter, actor, columnist, and the CEO of American Hearts Radio, LLC Entertainment Network. He has experience in web TV, radio entertainment produc on, ar st management, and other aspects of entertainment.

Senator Omer Rains “You’ll never walk again.” This was the news Omer Rains heard from doctors when he awoke from a prolonged coma and found the right side of his body completely paralyzed, the result of a stroke and brain aneurysm that nearly killed him at age 61. But the former California State Senator—a poli cian on the global stage, a power‐broking lawyer of A‐list celebri es, a conqueror of some of the highest summits in the world—wouldn’t listen. Rains should have been leveled by his life‐threatening health crisis, as most anyone would have been. But he was a stubborn fighter, one who many mes in his life had defied the impossible. Back to the Summit is Rains’ story of his harrowing, yearlong journey toward recovery as he pushes the limits of human poten al: Against all odds, Rains teaches himself again to walk, and then to play tennis, aggressively bike, ski and to engage in other ac vi es which he had previously enjoyed. But as the reader quickly discovers, nothing about Rains’ life is normal. From humble beginnings—picking co on at age eleven to supplement the family’s income—Rains struck out on his own at age 15 and rose to incredible heights fueled by a powerful mix of passion, tenacity and sheer will. He would eventually play a part in some of the most fascina ng events of the 20th century. As a lawyer, Rains represented people and causes that shaped the na on, from the civil rights movement to the environmental movement. He rubbed shoulders with stars of all stripes: corporate tans such as John Malone, Bob Magness, Bill Bresnan, and Leonard Tow and famous Hollywood personali es including Steve McQueen, Johnny Cash, Evel Knievel and Charlton Heston. Rains’ influence eventually stretched well beyond that of a normal lawyer and State Senator: During the Camp David Accords of the late 1970s he met with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat;
Author of Back to the Summit at the invita on of Nelson Mandela, he consulted for the South African Cons tu onal Revision Commission. He flew on Air Force One, danced in the White House, and was close to both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. He had once been at the top of his game and he was determined to be there again. Yet it is the aneurysm and associated hemorrhagic stroke, and his white‐knuckle recovery from paralysis, that worked to shape Rains’ life and worldview more profoundly than any of the people, places or events that came before. In trying to walk—and live again— Rains reveals the brave wisdom that you must fail first before you can truly succeed. And Rains sets the bar for “success” higher than most: achievement beyond all expecta ons and commitment to changing the world for the be er. Today, though in his 70, Rains draws on his passion, determina on and physical fitness to lead a life that would be exhaus ng for even the hear est of souls. His life today is dedicated to humanitarian ac vi es around the globe. This includes building libraries and economic development and sustainability projects in rural and remote parts of Nepal, India and Bhutan. One of the three organiza ons for which he served as Interna onal Board Chair is Rural Educa on and Development (READ) Global, on which he partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Founda on. For his worldwide humanitarian efforts, Rains was named Cambridge’s 2010 Interna onal Professional of the Year for “Community Based Educa on and Outreach.” In “Back to the Summit” Rains takes readers on a courageous journey toward recovery, both physical and spiritual, as he reflects on the people, events, and American history that shaped his life and gave him the strength to dare to walk again. Every flashback to the past offers insight into the philosophy that once saved his life and now defines his every ac on: “When you get knocked down, pick yourself up Con nued on page 11

Unintended Stuff
Just the other day I had need to visit one of Reno’s finest hotel casinos when a nicely dressed man came up to me and I listened intently to his brief but poignant tale. He said he lived in Charleston, South Carolina and for some me had been having these dreams and visions of going to Reno to win a fortune on one of those mega million dollar slot machines. The dreams would not leave him. He sold his home, his cars, his motorcycle, his boat, took all his money from his re rement, and he and his wife and children came to Reno. He implored me to help him due to the lack of success at hi ng it big but felt his fortune was near and asked for some financial assistance with his plight. A er winning, he would without doubt repay me for my largess. “My wife and children” he said through his tears, “Are up in a room in this hotel and they haven’t eaten in over three days. Can you stake us to a meal?” “Sir, I suspect if I were to give you money you would just put it all back into those slot machines!” “Kind sir, you have me all wrong. Gambling money I got!” Writer’s note: No part of the above tale is true, but ain’t it a good story?

You can have it; just get it off my car trailer!
Star ng a Hot Rod build can begin in a number of ways, and our 26 T build has its own unique beginning. How many of us “Gear Heads” have been “given” an Old Rusty Car or be er yet just parts and pieces of a car body? Well, motocross bike racer Zac Pachinko got into hot rod building, through the sugges on of his uncle by returning his car trailer minus a car body and by taking it to Fred Hernandez of Fred’s Frames located in Rialto, California. Zac, not knowing what it was, and at the sugges on of Fred, took a picture on his phone and sent it to Fred. Upon receiving the picture and reviewing it, Fred quickly contacted Zac and informed him to bring it over to Fred’s shop and they would build the car together! So Zac and friends took the dilapidated 26 T car body to Fred’s Frames to begin the build. So each week we will explain each step and what parts of the car had to be fabricated what parts were needed to complete the build!
