It was almost a typical Saturday morning at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Baldwin Park.
The Rev. Michael Gutierrez, whom the San Gabriel Valley community knows as Father Mike, had just gotten off a Zoom call with teens on a retreat. On-site, there were three baptisms and a wedding, as well as church services planned for the evening both outdoor and virtual, in English and Spanish.
But on March 20, the church also hosted a vaccine clinic in the parking lot. Dance music played, and Gutierrez and L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis delivered speeches.
Most appointments were reserved for members of the community, who were contacted through the church and through volunteers from L.A. Voice, a nonprofit, multifaith, multiethnic organization that provides resources and education about social justice issues. During the pandemic, L.A. Voice has been hosting food distribution drives and forums on tenant rights in the same parking lot.

Weekly Fishing Report: April 13, 2021
Los Alamos Daily Post
The signs of spring are all around us. Fruit trees are blooming. Daffodils are brightening flower beds. Bees are buzzing around flowers. People are setting out their hummingbird feeders and watching for the first of these little buzz bombs to show up.
Gardens are being tilled in preparation for planting. The white snow of winter is melting and disappearing from the mountains. The streams are swelling with the increased water from the runoff.
With the warming temperatures, more water is opening up for fishing in Northern New Mexico. Lakes that just a few weeks ago still had ice on them. They are now open water and the fish that held over through the winter are hungry. They will be found in shallow water closer to shore because that’s where most of their food is.
