I had the opportunity sit down for a one on one conversation with newly elected Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. Mayor Parris has several plans for addressing issues pertinent to the residents of Lancaster. The mayor exhibit’s a great since of determination and dedication toward the office of mayor. His positive attitude is refreshing and his excitement about moving forward is infectious. The future that Mayor Parris envisions includes all of the citizens of Lancaster. With crime reduction being a first priority, the mayor is very concerned about those least able to defend themselves. Coming from a humble beginning, gives this mayor some insight as it pertains to many that have shared a similar back ground. The mayor plans to lead with great authority on the one hand and a velvet glove on the other. Given a chance the residents of Lancaster should see their city moving in a positive direction.

Thursday, May 15, 2008The Amir Raheem Show - Demonstration in Palmdale, California / Rancho Vista Blvd. & 10Th St. West[05.10.2008]

The May 10th protest against illegal immigration got somewhat out of hand as a result of a counter protester. The Palmdale Sherriff Department was called in and one individual (pictured on the right) was detained cited and released. The Antelope Valley Independent Minutemen found themselves being attacked with rocks, hot coffee and many insults. There was much name calling that added to some of the frayed tempers but there were no injuries. Had the Sherriff department not responded with decisive action there was the potential this would have gotten worse. From the interviews that took place, the protesters were maintaining a position against illegal immigration. And the counter protesters took the position, they are being targeted based on their ethnicity. In my opinion until the government takes some real action regarding this debate, the two factions will continue with this social struggle, with violence being the next evolutionary step.

Statistics show that children who have not learned to read by the 3rd grade will fall behind in school. The mechanics of learning to read are taught from Kindergarten through 3rd grade - decoding, encoding, phonics and phonemic awareness (the ability to hear the individual sounds of the letters within words) are dropped from the curriculum starting in 4th grade. At that time, children start to use their reading skills to learn new ideas - "Reading to Learn" instead of "Learning to Read."
There can be many reasons a child does not learn to read by 3rd grade. Learning disabilities, including Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and many others can, if not caught and addressed early on, contribute to the feelings of failure a child can feel when he/she falls behind in school. If you suspect your child has a learning disability, see your doctor. Be specific about the behaviors he/she is exhibiting and request that your child to be tested for learning disabilities.

Saturday, Apr 12, 2008The Amir Raheem Show - Election Coverage [04.08.2008]

The Lancaster City Council was rearranged last night [04.08.2008] as councilman Andy Visokey(r), pictured left with Amir Raheem, lost his bid for a fourth term. New comers Sherry Marquez and Ken Mann were able to claim victory for their efforts, in a crowded field of eleven. Tuesdays election put an end to some very bitter campaigning. Some of the vitriol spilled over onto some internet blog sites. Some characterized the personal attacks as extraordinary, while others attributed much of the hostility to what has been viewed as a national phenomenon. Time will quite possibly be the sole factor determining the outcome for this desert community north of Los Angeles. Download the webcast to hear reactions from some of the candidates.

My Profile
Amir Raheem
Lancaster, California
I was born in Los Angeles, CA. in the early fifties. Growing up during that time, the San Fernando Vallley was a simpler place and time. Needless to say I grew up, got married, joined the military, worked as a welder for many years, bought a home in Palmdale, CA. and moved the family to the desert in 1988. Well the kids grew up, I got divorced. Quite working as a welder...got into Bartending (Red Lobster), and in 1995 got my first radio job at the local country & western station. Yeah you are reading correctly...I went on the air over-nights, as C.W. "The Over-Nite Cowboy". From there... on to Chandler Broadcasting (which morphed into High Desert Broadcasting) where I produced several talk shows, which eventually led to producing my own show. Good fortune has allowed me to host both music and talk formats, and I have enjoyed broadcasting ever since.
Being the proud Grandparent of 10, has changed some of my approach toward life and with each year that I celebrate above ground, my mission is revealed in a much more focused manner. Hopefully I am getting wiser as time goes by :-), however you never know until the next BIG mistake. Thanks for logging on to my podcast. It is my hope you will enjoy listening and somewhere in my rambling you'll hear something that you can take away and utilize in your life experince. You can always contact me directly...amir@pyramidproductions.org "ENJOY THE SHOW"
