This Valley is filled with more than its share of talented performers. Here at KRL we would like to spotlight some of these actors, directors, writers, singers, etc and give them a moment to be recognized for their abilities and successes. We would also like to let our readers know about some wonderful talent in their own backyards that they have the chance to enjoy.

Michelle Caban has been an Attendance Secretary at Reedley High School for five years, but has worked for the Kings Canyon Unified School District for eight. “I started as a sub for a teacher’s aide, and an EL (English Language) Tech working with students in their language assessment.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Loomis and the Lust and seeing them perform in Fresno. KRL will be keeping an eye on this young rock band as their success continues. Their music style is old rock with a bit of CA sunshine.

Have you ever heard the term ‘social capital’? It’s not something the typical citizen would use in a conversation, that’s for sure. You most likely have heard the terms volunteer, civic duty, social events, and visitation used at some point. Social capital captures those ideas…
