Local band and Harp Inn Sept 11 tribute
As Sept. 11 approaches and people across the nation begin to look
for ways to commemorate the anniversary of the tragic event, Orange
County residents will have the opportunity to lend their support and
give their donations by attending the “Benefit the Blue” concert at
the Harp Inn in Costa Mesa.
Citizen Joe, a local band founded by Costa Mesa Police Officer
Kurtiss Lystne, will host the live concert, which will pay tribute to
New York City’s fallen heroes and their families.
The event is free, but collections will be taken throughout the
evening and all proceeds will be donated to the World Trade Center
Police Disaster Relief Fund.
The concert will take place on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. The band will be
playing all original music, including “Rollin’ ”, currently receiving
airplay on FM radio.
The inn is at 130 E. 17th St.
Prostate screening for police and fire fighters
An estimated 30,200 men will die from prostate cancer this year
alone, according to the National Prostate Cancer Coalition. In an
effort to encourage early detection, the coalition has arranged for a
number of free screenings for police and firemen nationwide.
On Sept. 27 and 28, the coalition will head to Costa Mesa as part
of its Protecting Our Protectors’ program. The goal of this program
is to increase awareness of prostate cancer among law enforcement,
fire fighters and other emergency personnel and veterans while at the
same time providing special cancer screenings to current and retired
members of these protective services at various locations.
The coalition sees this program as an opportunity to share in the
Sept. 11 commemorations by giving something back to the thousands of
Americans, particularly in those fields, that were most affected by
the tragedy.
For more information contact the coalition at (888) 245-9455 or
