In March, we (Well, some of us...) celebrated March 14 as Pi Day (3/14 is the date; the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is about 3.14). It was celebrated with pies...pizza, apple, Key lime, and more. Since I really like pi and pie, I have decided to unilaterally declare April Pi/Pie Month. Let’s dig in and see what I dug up.
Many years ago when I was writing for the Reedley Exponent I did a series of articles getting to know the officers of the Reedley Police Department. I decided it was time to do a version of that here at KRL as we chat with two of Reedley’s female officers. In March, we chatted with Officer Marisela Delgado from Fresno, and this month we are chatting with Officer Ashleigh Lopez from Dinuba.
In February 2024, the City of Reedley received a transformative boost for its local parks system, marking a pivotal moment in the city's ongoing efforts to enhance community recreational spaces. With a substantial grant of $4,049,992 from California State Parks, Reedley embarked on an ambitious project to renovate Camacho Park, one of the city's cherished public spaces. This grant, one of the largest in Reedley's history, earmarks funds for a comprehensive overhaul, including the renovation of three baseball and softball fields, the construction of a new walking path, the creation of a group picnic area, the addition of a restroom and signage, the creation of public art, and improvements to landscaping and lighting throughout the park.

This week we are chatting with Officer Marisela Delgado from Fresno.
In Reedley, a captivating blend of nostalgia and culinary ingenuity has come to life with the arrival of the Tradewinds Pub. Named after the enduring equatorial breezes that guided ancient explorers, this new dining establishment, nestled in the heart of town, promises more than just a meal. Owners Heather Ground and David Peters, in collaboration with partners Laura and Sergey Yanovsky, have transformed a familiar locale into a haven for exquisite cuisine, delightful drinks, and unforgettable experiences.
While Reedley High School has been well known for its theatre productions for quite some time, I recently became aware that theatre was happening at some Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) K-8 schools in Reedley, so I set out to learn more. Little did I realize that this actually began last year and somehow slipped under KRL’s radar, with the first show, a production of High School Musical Jr., performed by TL Reed students at Silas Bartsch.
This week we continue our series of interviews with the current board members of Reedley’s very own theatre company, River City Theatre Co.(RCTC)--many of whom are also local actors themselves who have been on the RCTC stage many times over the years. This time we are chatting with Co-Treasurer Jacob Alvarado.
As winter approaches and temperatures drop in the Valley, Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) is bringing warmth and vibrancy to the community through its Visual & Performing Arts (VAPA) programs. From elementary schools to high schools, the district's commitment to fostering creativity and artistic expression is evident in the diverse offerings that make up the VAPA umbrella.
Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of the eastern Central Valley of California, Reedley College is home to a unique and thriving agricultural endeavor that is allowing students to gain hands-on experience in the world of business and marketing. Agriculture Business students at the college are taking the olives grown on campus and turning them into bottled, marketable olive oil, offering a taste of entrepreneurship and marketing prowess.
Reedley’s very own theatre company, River City Theatre Co.(RCTC), has seen a lot of changes over the last few years. Recently, they hired local actor Peter Allwine as their new General Manager. KRL thought it would be interesting to get to know some of the current RCTC board members a little better—many are also local actors themselves who had been on the RCTC stage many times over the years. We are starting off with Stevie Barnett, who is their current board secretary.
