Gold was discovered in Coloma in January 1848 just eight miles away from Gold Bug Park. It wasn’t long until prospectors were panning in the stream that runs through the park. Big Canyon Creek was rich in gold for the early prospectors who could just pluck the gold from the stream. Once the panning operations were not turning up much gold, hard rock mining came into being. In 1888, The Hattie Mine was opened. Step back in time to the mid 1800s and experience what it was like to be a miner in the gold rush era. We will tour the Gold Bug Mine, Hendy Stamp Mill and the Blacksmith Shop. Bring a bag lunch to eat while enjoying the scenery before heading back home.
We will provide complimentary roundtrip transportation on a Sierra College bus from the Rocklin Campus. We will meet at the Dietrich Theater and leave promptly at 8:30am. Price includes bus transportation and entrance fee. Wear comfortable shoes for walking.

The war in Ukraine is still occurring. Yet, we know that all conflicts must come to an end in time. What phase of the war is Ukraine in now? Is Ukraine closer to victory? What is the priority for Ukraine: peace or victory? Is it still a war between Ukraine and Russia, or has the World's involvement developed it into a global conflict?

A cover song is a new recording of a previously recorded song by someone other than the original artist. For example, "When Will I Be Loved" was written by the Everly Brothers, who had a top-ten hit with it in 1960. Linda Ronstadt covered the song in 1975, and her version was an even bigger hit peaking at No. 2. The best covers can truly reinvent a song – sometimes so much so that they become the definitive recordings. Otis Redding wrote “Respect” and recorded it first, but Aretha Franklin made the song her own. This class will feature great cover songs from rock, pop, and soul music from the 1960s up to today. You’ll hear the original songs and the cover versions, and learn the compelling stories about both the original artists and the performers who recorded the covers.

Earp is one of the most memorable of Old West figures. More than 20 films have been made about him plus a popular TV series. But he wasn't like what the movies claimed...and he didn't think of himself as a lawman either. Roger Peterson interviewed three people who personally knew Earp. His work has been cited in Earp's biography and that of his third wife Josie, and American History magazine published Peterson's cover story on Earp's life. The Wild West History Association Journal gave the 2020 Best WWHA Journal Article to Peterson for his story "Wyatt Earp: Boomtown Sport."
