Bricks Pizza and Pub was closed this afternoon for a private event, hosting members of the Manhood Development Leadership Academy. The Oakland based nonprofit is a part of the OK Program with a goal of empowering Black men and boys to transform their community. As a part of the program they take field trips out of the inner city and into the forests, lakes, mountains and natural beauty of Trinity County. Executive Director of MDLA, Robert Smith, met the owners of Bricks last year at Cedar Stock Marina on one of those trips and kept in touch. Now they are serving free pizza to more than 100 inner city kids — 27 pies have been cooked so far with more in the oven.

“They’re doing amazing things for the kids,” Crystal Franklin, manager at Bricks said, “so we want to do something amazing for them.”

On this Memorial Day holiday Trinity honors the fallen. Services were held in Hayfork and Hyampom, and in Weaverville the local VFW held their annual color guard service, and retired Army Master Sergeant Mike Brochu from Junction City gave the key note speech at the Weaverville Cemetery:

"Let us live in a way worthy of those who rest here," Master Sgt. Brochu said. "To remember them beyond today, and to safeguard the freedom they secured with their lives."

"Let us teach the next generation that Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that liberty has always required courage, sacrifice and faithful service."
