- [Dominic] It's a rarity to go to a rollerskating rink

and find live music there.

- [Narrator] Most other roller rinks have gone digital.

But head to Southern California,

and you'll find one of the last remaining rinks

to employ a live organ player.

(funky music)

- My name is Dominic Cangelosi,

and I own the Moonlight Rollerway.

I've been playing rollerskating music for 70 years.

There are only about 10 or 15

roller rink organists left in the country.

In the '40s and '50s, most of the rinks around the country

used live organ music,

and then when Elvis Presley and the Beatles

all came into the picture in the '50s and '60s,

most of the rinks around the country

phased out the live organ to play recorded music.

- [Narrator] But not the Moonlight Rollerway.

Wednesday through Monday, the Moonlight Rollerway

plays recorded music, just like most roller rinks.

But one day a week, Dominic gets to dust off

his Hammond organ, and throw back to a different time.

(organ music)

- [Dominic] On Tuesdays, I play from 8 o'clock 'til 10:30.

The people that come on Tuesday nights are a mixed crowd.

A number of the skaters are old-time skaters

in their 70s and 80s who like to skate to the organ music.

This place is special because it's been here for so long.

It's a historical landmark.

People have skated here through the years,

met their boyfriends, girlfriends here.

Raised a family, bring their grandchildren.

And it's something from the past

that I just want to hold on to at least one night a week.

I love coming here, I come every day.

And I enjoy my customers.

They appreciate it and they like the music.

I have no plans to stop playing the organ.

I'll play it as long as I'm here.

Thank you for coming, and hope to see you all real soon.

Goodnight.

California Casualty - Sales - Duration: 2:30.

I think one of the differences with California Casualty is the value that we put in our people.

What I love about California Casualty is the people we serve; we only take care of American

Heroes.

And that is your public servants: your educators, law enforcement, firemen, nurses.

Selling a product as genuine as what California Casualty has to offer, it doesn't feel like

you're in a typical sales role or sales position.

We have two different sales departments.

First of all, we have Outbound Sales.

It's a great department because there's no cold calling.

It's taking leads that were gathered by our field marketing managers of people who are

interested in wanting to find out more, and then they call back on those nice warm leads.

And then you have Inbound Sales, customers calling in to get quotes.

They've heard about us, you know, from referrals, from their place of business.

My typical day is being on the phone majority of the day, and then some of the day responding

to some of the calls, some of the stuff that we have to follow up on.

We have to be there for them when they're available - teachers are teaching school in

the daytime, they're not always available to get the information they need.

It's definitely a very exciting position, it's very competitive.

And also helping out our group members, insuring them the protection that they deserve for

what they do for our community.

The great thing about California Casualty is we help you every step of the way.

It starts with licensing, which there's no out of pocket expense for you; we pay for

everything.

So we try to give you all the tools necessary to be successful in the position.

We offer a competitive benefit package.

You can expect a very rewarding career, not as far as just what you do but as far as financially

as well.

We are looking for an energetic, enthusiastic individuals who have a lot of grit and passion.

There's a bond here like none other.

You should definitely come work at California Casualty because of the overall benefits that

you could reap from being a sales person.

I think California Casualty is a great place to work because of the people here.

We only hire the best.

California Casualty's values are in the California Casualty code, which was written in 1965 by

California Casualty is a family owned business.

We've been in business for over a hundred years.

We're a company built on relationships, and California Casualty cares about its people,

and cares about the people for whom we serve.

And I think that's pretty neat.

We're a group based company, and our value really lies in the fact that we help out our

everyday American Heroes - as far as our firefighters, our law enforcement, our teachers and nurses.

So, helping them getting into a better financial with insurance - the right insurance in place

- is pretty rewarding.

The benefits of working at California Casualty: first and foremost, you'll be part of a team

that you really enjoy.

What excites me about coming to work every day is my peers and my coworkers.

Our team and our managers - I love them, I really do.

They allow you to be self-managed, they give you the expectation to keep our promises to

get these jobs done.

They allow you to grow, they allow you to be you.

When we have to collaborate on something, we're all going to come together and work

together as a team.

The diversity here is amazing, there are so many walks of life and so many different people

that are able to bring out their best to help bring the team up to that next level to achieve

greatness.

I have a passion for learning, and our group is very committed to the development of our

people in our organization and we think that makes a big difference in the success of the

organization and the services we're able to provide.

We have great benefits.

Our health plan, we have a 401k plan, and a defined contribution retirement plan.

The opportunity for growth at California Casualty is up to you - the sky is the limit.

California Casualty really pays attention to the little details, the little things,

to make everything that much better.

I take real pride in helping our heroes.

them the right policy to protect themselves.

It's really what protecting American Heroes is all about.

Powered by Public Lands, BLM California's Oil and Gas Program - Duration: 3:52.

Nearly 120 years ago, a chance discovery in the San Joaquin Valley

would change the course of California's history forever –

oil.

From the first hand-dug well, 70-feet deep

to today's steam and thermal-enhanced extraction technologies,

hundreds of land-lease holders now extract millions of barrels of oil from these public lands each year.

Oil and gas has been around here since the late 1800's.

In fact, before that, there were natural oil seeps that Chumash Indians used to waterproof their canoes.

It was probably in the late 1800's that they started commercially increasing oil production and actually selling it.

They even dug for the oil in pits.

Then after a while they figured out a way to get it out by drilling a well

and by the turn of the century things were going pretty strong here.

They had hundreds, even thousands, of wells in the area by the early 1900's.

Initially, they used wooden derricks and then they moved on to steel derricks

and then after that they came up with portable derricks to both drill the wells and pull the wells when they needed.

This area plays a critical role in the America First Energy Plan, which supports the production of oil and gas,

strategic minerals and renewable sources on California public lands, helping power the state and the country.

The Midway Sunset field is one of the largest fields in the country.

We have as many as four wells per acre. In fact, the lease we are on right now

has several hundred wells in very few acres.

Our largest lease in fact has 1,600 wells on only 480 acres.

It produces about 75,000 barrels of oil a day -- nearly 30 million barrels of oil a year.

At that rate, it's enough to fuel tens of thousands of homes,

it helps make America energy independent

and the amount of oil that comes from this field could be producing for another 30, 40 or 50 years.

The Bureau of Land Management in California manages nearly 300 leases,

covering more than 200,000 acres of public land for the production of oil and natural gas.

That's encompassing over 7,000 usable wells

that are helping America become more energy independent,

while also creating a significant economic impact.

In addition to generating jobs,

the state's oil and gas industry paid $55 million in rent and royalties last year alone.

I'm proud of the working relationship Chevron has with the Bureau of Land Management,

where we cooperatively work with the BLM

to produce much-needed oil and natural gas for our state.

The petroleum industry in Kern County is essential to our community.

Oil and natural gas power our lives, providing good jobs,

generosity supporting our local nonprofits,

paying millions in taxes for schools, roads and public safety.

To keep production running smoothly and safely,

the Bureau of Land Management has a team of oil field inspection staff

that closely monitors drilling operations, production equipment and environmental compliance.

With oil production increasing, BLM California is at the forefront of energy, by Californians, for Californians and the nation.
