GEM-O-RAMA: The DEALER SPECIAL for only 200 bucks per car sounds like a lot of fun! It's probably a sure fire way to score some premium product. First grabs at the highest quality stuff... How could a dealer resist?

James Sel: Great post. That was very helpful for those of us too lazy or inept to find the info on our own. And never mind Crusty. He's a clown and I think he's partaken of a little too much "product" in his time. His brains are totally fried. Hahahahaha!

Listen here, CoolChick, I'm an OLD FART, not a CLOWN. And as for my brains being fried, it's the result of living in the desert a little too long and has nothing to do with the consumption of anything that can be referred to as PRODUCT of any kind, thank you very much!!! Humph!!!

It's kind of surprising that no one posted anything about the Gem and Mineral Show. I know most locals take it for granted, but there are quite a few locals involved also. From everything I heard it went pretty much as normal. I'll have to check to see if anyone posted any videos at YouTube when I get a chance.

pcslim: A few friends did participate, but there seemed to be less enthusiasm for the event this year than usual, at least within my circle of friends and acquaintances. I haven't heard any reports as to if the event went well or not. I suppose no news is good news and that everything was normal with the usual displays, vendors, and events.

Sheriff’s citizen volunteer arrested in Trona on suspicion of lewd acts with a child
This is odd. I hadn't heard a word about this until now. Usually kids who make claims like this are lying, but law enforcement tends to give them the benefit of the doubt even though by now they should know better.
Deputies arrested a sheriff’s citizen volunteer Tuesday on suspicion of lewd acts with a child and oral copulation with a child, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff’s news release. Edwin Funke, 39, of Trona was arrested 4:34 p.m. Tuesday and booked into the Adelanto Detention Center, the news release states. Booking records show his bail was set at $50,000.

Trona Man Arrested for Sexual Assault of 14-year-old Girl
The people a 247headline.com went out of their way to include a picture of the suspect with a with a strange smirk on his face and wearing sunglasses. They were definitely attempting to make him look like a shady character. I agree with twister that people should be skeptical of accusations like this since so many turn out to be false. Teenage girls are always looking to start drama.
On Monday, March 13, 2017, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department detectives received information regarding an inappropriate sexual relationship between Edwin Funke and an underage girl. Detective spoke with a girl who confirmed the sexual assault that took place at Funke’s Trona home. This according to the victim, took place several times last year.
