One of Us (A Tower District Mystery #1) by Lorie Lewis Ham At 35, children's book author Roxi Carlucci finds herself starting over again after her publisher drops her book series. With no income, she has to pack up her life on the California Coast, along with her pet rat Merlin, and move in with her cousin, P.I. Stephen Carlucci, who lives in Fresno, CA. The one redeeming factor is that Stephen lives in the Tower District—the cultural oasis of Fresno.Stephen talks Roxi into helping out with a community theatre production, which is also a fundraiser for a local animal rescue. Little did she know that someone would be murdered during a rehearsal, and that she and Stephen would be hired to find the killer. The killer has to be one of Roxi's new acquaintances since the theatre was locked at the time of the murder, but no one seems to have a motive. How can they solve a murder without a motive? Could the local gossip website hold any clues? Can they stop the killer before they strike again? Lorie Lewis Ham lives in Reedley, California and has been writing ever since she was a child—her first stories were about her stuffed animals. Her first song and poem were published when she was 13, and she has gone on to publish many articles, short stories, and poems throughout the years, as well as write for a local newspaper. Four out of 5 of her previously published mystery novels feature gospel singer Alexandra Walters and are set in the San Joaquin Valley. Those books were inspired by the many years she spent traveling and singing gospel music with her family. One Of Us is the first in a brand new mystery series set in the Tower District of Fresno, California featuring podcaster and part time detective Roxi Carlucci. Lorie has also been the publisher of the online magazine Kings River Life for the past 11 years (kingsriverlife.com), and of its sister website KRL News & Reviews (krlnews.com). She also launched a mystery podcast called Mysteryrat's Maze (mysteryratsmaze.podbean.com) 3 years ago which features mystery short stories and first chapters read by local actors, including the first chapter of this book. You can find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, and all of the other usual places. You can learn more about Lorie on her website mysteryrat.com and find her on Twitter @mysteryrat and Facebook. Another way to keep up with Lorie's writing is to subscribe to her newsletter—you can find info on doing that on her website.Lorie has been married to Larry for 30 years and they have 2 grown children—Jayce and Joseph Ham. She currently has 5 cats (Merlin, Sam, Dean, Sidney, and Willow), 4 dogs (Lestat, Huey, Xander, and Phoebe), and a pet dwarf rabbit (Sherlock). For many years, she worked in pet rat rescue, and has had many pet rats of her own over the years.

Mohamed Ahmed has worked behind the register of the Food King in Fresno's Tower District for more than a decade. He's the owner, and he says many of his customers are regulars coming in every week for basic staples or beer. He expects to see them, but the pandemic changed routines and put added stress on his business. As part of our occasional series on how people are processing the magnitude of the pandemic, FM89's Alice Daniel spoke with him and produced this audio postcard.

Paul Hernandez designs and sews his own costumes and entertains audiences through the art of drag with his alter ego Leilani Price. He also does his own makeup before performing at LGBTQ night clubs like Fab in Fresno's Tower District. But the pandemic ended those performances for over a year forcing Hernandez to slow down; he's also a community activist and has a day job in health administration. Spending so much time at home gave him a chance to evaluate his mental health.

It's a story of a historically inclusive, friendly, nightlife hub in Fresno, symbolic of more than just a really old building that stands very tall among the other Tower District buildings, it's the spot where Pride Parade stops and starts and it has hosted the Reel Pride Film Festival for decades now—Tower Theatre is also an icon of LGBTQIA civil rights in Fresno, and the diversity of people in Tower spans class, race, gender, sexuality; Tower Theatre is in the one single most diverse and inclusive neighborhood in Fresno and that is what it symbolizes: equality, equity, love. It's also a story about right wing agitators and harassment, of weekly Sunday rallies by the LGBTQIA community, allies, and Tower District residents, of Officer Fitzgerald, the cop with Fresno PD seen participating in the harassment of LGBTQIA activists at their Sunday rallies while off duty and was revealed to be an extremist proud boy, punisher cosplayer, kids' ‘mentor', and founder of a militia-esque Sons of 1776 right wing group. Leftists and BIPOC in Fresno have long known that there was one overtly fascist far right cop serving on the Fresno pd. At a livestream event held in downtown Fresno back in January 2020, a livestream was uploaded to facebook showing a low resolution livestream of a group of proud boys with at least one man in an American Guard hoodie, chatting with and embracing a Fresno police officer in full uniform (the star on the upper arm is visible at times). While it is very low res, the livestreamer follows the man hugging the far right people and then walking to the fresno squad car. He then gets inside, does a U-turn, slows down near the livestreamer as she gets closer, and turns on his siren lights before speeding off. It is obvious a member of law enforcement spent quite a lot of time on the side being friendly with the Proud Boys and American Guard before walking to, entering, and driving his squad car. https://youtu.be/y7vxG_4nPyo [livestream copyrights acquired by United Leftist Coalition from original livestreamer] https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-02-28/fresno-evangelical-church-tries-to-buy-tower-theatre https://kmph.com/news/local/religious-leaders-gather-in-support-of-save-the-tower-theatre-movement https://gvwire.com/2021/03/14/tensions-flare-at-tower-theatre-protest-as-sale-dispute-heads-back-to-court/ (audio heard in this podcast is from this gv wire episode): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f2DVHrnFL4 https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article249939048.html https://abc30.com/fresno-police-proud-boys-tower-protest/10418161/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/southofshawmedia/support

Along Fern Avenue in the Tower District, businesses are boarded up, some lined with graffiti. There’s trash piled in the doorways. But on this sunny Saturday afternoon, volunteers move brooms along the sidewalk and sweep the debris into boxes. There’s an upbeat feeling about their work. One of the cleaning crew is Kacey Auston. She grew up in the Tower and is now leasing the former Bank of America building on this street. It’s still empty but she plans on opening a marijuana dispensary called Cookies Fresno. “It would revitalize [this] whole strip as new lighting, 24 hr security. Which would then enhance the businesses around it,” says Auston. She’s holding the space while the city considers her application. She could get an interview in March and if approved, get a license to operate by May. Auston estimates opening the location within six months of obtaining a license. Auston says she knew immediately that the old bank location would be perfect for a dispensary. It’s “an area that

This is Draw The Line Radio Show with Jacki-e, featuring my mix in the 1st hr of music made by women and then, for the 2nd hr, I hand the decks over to a female DJ. Helping me Draw The Line this week, with her guest mix in the 2nd hour is Ela Stanska who comes from Poland and now lives in France. She discovered a love for the turntables in her native Poland at rave parties at the time of the Communist regime. She moved to France in 1989 where she started playing House and Techno. Her sets offer a particularly groovy and well paced musical selection.
