Masked Warriors live tour

Lucha Libre USA announced it was embarking on a nationwide tour in major Latino markets throughout the U.S. Among the first dates confirmed is the Stockton Arena on Sunday, March 25, 2012.

The tour, “Masked Warriors Live”, will feature Luchastars such as Lizmark Jr., Super Nova, Pequeño Halloween, Marco Corleone, RJ Brewer, Shane “Hurricane” Helms and special guests appearances of former WWE/WCW star, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Latin Lover, Melina and Mexican legends, LA Parka and Blue Demon Jr.

Often referred to as the second most popular sport in Mexico, Lucha Libre has provided over 70 years of family entertainment.

“Fan experience and audience participation are very important to us, which is something we incorporate into all our shows. Whether its fans coming [sic] dressed as their favorite Lucha-star, creating signs, or attending our pre-show party, we encourage our audiences to take part in the action,” says Lucha Libre USA’s CEO, Steven Ship

Annual Water System Flushing

(Stockton, CA) – The City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department will conduct annual flushing of the City’s water systems, February 20, 2012 through mid-March.

Water distribution systems require regular flushing to remove sand and mineral deposits that accumulate in the pipelines over time. During the course of flushing, customers may experience slight discoloration of water if a faucet is turned on during or shortly after the pipelines are flushed. If this occurs, customers are asked to turn a faucet on outside the house for a few minutes until the water clears.

Flushing activities will occur between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Flushing in the areas north of Hammer Lane from Lower Sacramento east to State Highway 99 will take place the week of February 20 through February 24. The areas north of Hammer Lane and south of Estate Drive, between Lower Sacramento and Interstate 5, will take place the week of February 27 through March 2. Consumnes, Scott Creek, Trinity Parkway, Mokelumne, Whistler, A. G. Spanos, Iron Canyon and Lonnie Beck will take place the week of March 5 through March 9. Areas south of Hammer Lane will not be affected. All flushing dates are approximate based on actual time it takes to flush each area.

For questions concerning this maintenance process or to report discoloration that persists, please contact the City of Stockton Water Utility at (209) 937-7031.
