CLEARLAKE – On Saturday, May 30, children, parents and adventure lovers of all ages are invited to take a special journey with local author Diane Arruda.
Arruda, of Lakeport, will read from her new children's book, “The Undiscovered River” beginning at 2 p.m. at Wild About Books, 14290 Olympic Drive, Clearlake.
Readers of Arruda's new book will become participants in an enchanting water-world adventure to a place where dreams come true, new friendships are created and Living Codes are discovered.
Golden Fish has a dream of a beautiful undiscovered river that she feels must be a true place but is somewhere far beyond the Great Pool where she lives. How will she get there?
One day to her surprise and joy, she receives a very special invitation from the Magnificent Whirlpool, the source of all that lives in the river and beyond. She is invited to become a part of this dream river, known to only a few as the Undiscovered River.
Golden Fish's journey is full of adventure and suspense. When Golden Fish finally passes through the tunnel leading into the Undiscovered River, she meets up with the most unusual water creatures unlike ones she has ever seen. One of these unique creatures guides her downriver to meet the Magnificent Whirlpool.
On this first journey, Golden Fish learns about the five Living Codes, Codes that are not written but are feelings of awareness about the things all around her. These wonderful Codes are hidden on pathways somewhere in the Undiscovered River but can only be found by true believers and dreamers such as Golden Fish.
Arruda has created her main character Golden Fish and the journeys she takes in the Undiscovered River through the momentum and discoveries in her own life.
“The Undiscovered River” is the first book in Arruda's Dream River Adventure Series, which invites the reader into the beginning of unexpected pools of understanding encountered by Golden Fish.
A professional artist with a degree in art history and woman studies, Arruda also illustrated the book and the series with her original and unforgettable artwork.
Goldfish cookies will be shared at the Saturday event.

MIDDLETOWN – Movie and television comedy personality Sinbad will appear at Twin Pine Casino’s Grapevine Lounge on June 4 and 5 for solo performances.
As part of the celebration of Twin Pine’s casino, hotel and restaurant grand opening weekend of June 4 through 7, admission is free and is first come, first served.
Show times are 8 p.m. for both performances. Sinbad’s appearance kicks off Twin Pine’s new Thursday “Summer Comedy Series,” which will feature a variety of nationally renowned comics throughout the coming months.
Actor and comedian Sinbad arrived on the comedy scene with a “ hit’em in the face” style of comedy that has kept audiences laughing in the aisles for over the past two decades. He freely admits that he doesn’t know any jokes, except for the ones that his dad told him “back in the day.” Instead, Sinbad tells stories. The basis of his humor comes from everyone he’s met, everything he’s seen, and everything he’s done.
Ranked by cable television’s Comedy Central as one of the top 100 stand-up comedians of all time, Sinbad has built a loyal following by taking audiences’ painful trials or embarrassing tribulations of day-by-day life, throwing them back in their faces, and creating an hysterical comedic reaction. He can also make everything sound profound without being necessarily profane.
Sinbad is internationally known for his starring appearances in hit movies like “Jingle All the Way,” playing opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Houseguest,” co-starring the late Phil Hartman; and his film debut, “Necessary Roughness.” He has starred in the television sitcom, “A Different World,” as well as his own series, “The Sinbad Show.”
Entertainment mogul Quincy Jones sought out Sinbad to host UPN’s first late-night talk show, “Vibe.” He was also a recurring guest star on the Showtime Original Series, “Resurrection Blvd.” Sinbad has even written a self-help book entitled “Sinbad’s Guide to Life (Because I Know Everything).”
Sinbad has drawn legions of fans from his highly-rated HBO comedy specials: “Brain Damaged” (1991), “Afros & Bellbottoms” (1993), “Son of a Preacher Man” (1996) and “Nuthin But The Funk” (1998). His annual HBO music concert series – “Sinbad’s 70s Soul Music Festival” – received the prestigious NAACP Image Award for two consecutive years as the “Most Outstanding Variety Series/Special.”
A one-time basketball standout for the University of Denver, Sinbad says that everything he needed to know for comedy he learned from playing basketball. There are many things comedy and basketball have in common. One of the most important to Sinbad is “the competitive aspect that teaches you to never give up.”
Now, there is one part of Sinbad’s life that has been a well-kept secret … he admits to being a closet nerd. This comes in handy as a “Master of Technology” during private corporate engagements for clients such as Intel Corp., Breakaway Technologies, Apple, Microsoft and many others.
As an intermediary to community-focused technology solutions, Sinbad believes no one should be left behind in training and education. He has served as a spokesperson for the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME), encouraging minorities to pursue studies in science, math and engineering.
In honor of his parents, Donald and Louise Adkins, Sinbad has established an academic scholarship in their name at the esteemed Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Showing his appreciation for our armed servicemen, the comedian/actor has participated on USO tours, and most recently performed at the USO of Hampton Roads Patriotic Festival.
Twin Pine Casino & Hotel recently completed construction of its new $42.5 million, 107,000-square-foot facility, which is located in Lake County at the northern gateway to the world-renowned Napa Valley and in the heart of northern California’s scenic wine country. The casino and hotel are owned by the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians.
The four-day grand opening will feature more than $60,000 in giveaways of cash and merchandise, international dancers and music, and an abundant variety of food and drinks. Details of the Sinbad shows and the Grand Opening Weekend can be found by going to www.TwinPine.com.
