To celebrate the opening of their new Oceanside cancer center this weekend, NorthCountyOncology will host a large exhibition of paintings, drawings and other artwork from the national “Lilly Oncology on Canvas” exhibition.
Sponsored in 2006 by Eli Lilly and Co., the “Lilly Oncology on Canvas” is a biennial art competition that invites people diagnosed with any type of cancer (as well as their family, friends and health-care providers) to express in words and art the life-affirming changes that give their cancer journey meaning.
The public is invited to see the art at the grand opening celebration from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at NorthCountyOncology at 3617 Vista Way in Oceanside. On Sunday, visitors are invited to join in a paint-athon and express their own cancer journeys. Call (760) 758-5770.
Got the 420? The phrase is an inside reference for marijuana smokers, but it’s being used in the opposite way this weekend by the Vista Community Clinic for its “420 Remix: A Celebration of Sober and Drug-Free Life Choices Battle of the Bands.”
To promote anti-drug awareness, the clinic is this year celebrating sobriety with its first-ever Battle of the Bands from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday (4/20 on the calendar) at the Oceanside Bandshell. Besides live music by local teen bands, organizers will offer a climbing rock wall, educational booths and other activities and entertainment for all ages.
The free event is part of a countywide program that included the County Board of Supervisors recently declaring 4/20 the “Sober and Drug Free Life Choices Day.”
The first annual Fallbrook Film Festival is just around the corner —- April 24-26 —- but Fallbrook High students are getting a jump on the action with their own film fest this weekend.
The first annual Student Film Festival will be held on campus at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The program will feature 12 five-minute student-made films. Awards will be presented for best direction, best film, best actor and actress and best editing and sound. The event will be staged like the Academy Awards, with dressed-up students arriving at the Bob Burton Center for Performing Arts via red carpet.

Sen. Barack Obama meets with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune on Friday, March 14, 2008. (Chicago Tribune photo by Zbigniew Bzdak)

Earlier today, the Clinton campaign demanded that Barack Obama release all the documents pertaining to the purchase of his home in 2005 on a piece of land adjacent to land owned by Tony Rezko.
The Obama campaign’s response: We already have!
Says Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor,
Here’s the link to the documents Vietor is talking about. And on this fine Saturday afternoon (it’s a beautiful day in Washington) if you would like to examine some fence construction documents, via con Dios.
Just to review: Clinton’s campaign has said she will release her tax returns before the Pennsylvania primary. But it hasn’t made a pledge about donors to the Clinton library. The Obama campaign has long made an issue about Bill Clinton’s post-presidency business connections.
You know HRC will just release this yrs returns. Why wait for April 15th? What about the rest going back to Bill’s Presidency? No way we’ll see those. I know HRCers are having fun today at Obama’s expense, but that will go away and HRC will still be the most secretive, power grabber in the mix.
Yes Hillary, let’s talk about Rezko, afterall he raised money for Bill, remember?
Rezko made a $1,250 contribution during the Clinton re-election campaign in 1996 to a Democratic party account that funded activities in Illinois to help win the election for Bill.
Let’s also talk about Norman Hu, shall we Hillary?
For those who have wondered what happened to Clinton fundraiser Norman Hsu, here is your answer. Norman was indicted in New York on 15 counts of duping investors with a nationwide Ponzi scheme.
The Clintons need to be put down like the rabid Rovian dogs that they are. It will never stop until their man McCain is Prez.
