A NICE GREEN
DAY IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD
NOT HOW IT IS DONE IN
POLLOCK PINES
SCHOOLS!
SUSPICIOUS PERSONS?
Representatives of CEDAPP, and
businesses met with Sheriff
D’Agostini, and Lt. Kim Nida of the
Placerville Police Department command staff
this week to discuss concerns expressed by busi-
ness owners and residents about a persistent
problem, complaints about an increasing num-
ber of transients in Pollock Pines, and questions
about possible “dumping” of transients by gov-
ernment agencies. This is an economic, quality
of life, and safety issue for all of us. Some resi-
dents have noted illegal campsites, visible ap-
parent transactions involving illegal substances,
and occasional graffiti. There have also been
instances of altercations in front of businesses.
Some possible steps to aid in management of the
problem were discussed, including posting of
“No loitering” signage, passage of additional
ordinances by the Board of Supervisors. With
regard to loitering issues, some steps must be
taken by business owners. This will be dis-
cussed with business owners in a separate
CEDAPP Business Blast that goes to business
owners.
Increased patrolling by the Sheriff is not a prac-
tical solution because of budget issues that af-
fect the entire county. Consistent and immedi-
ate reporting of incidents requiring a law en-
forcement presence is encouraged, and might
have the result of shifting resources over time.
In The Short term
Residents and business owners are encourage to
take some steps on their own that might help.
This can include: Call in every incident. Get it documented. Be able
to describe what the person looks like, what he/
she is wearing, what he/she is doing, which di-
rection, if any, he/she is moving.
All businesses should have a letter on file at 300
Fair Land (EDSO). It is a form letter which
gives arriving deputies the permission and
foundation for on the spot arrests.
SED – Special Enforcement Detail – To be initi-
ated by Sheriff D’Agostini, and involving
Sgt. Mike Lensing.
POP – Problem Oriented Policing – Also to be
used in Pollock Pines.
Let the defined population know they are not
welcome! It’s ok to let them know we are
not supportive of their way of life. Perhaps
PP can create some signage that lets the de-
fined population know that we will call law
enforcement on them and that we are watch-
ing at all times. Make it our own…create
community pride and ownership.
Possibly using internet based security cameras
that can be coordinated with the Sheriff’s
Department.
Also being developed is a Resident Dep-
uty program which would involve
deputies who live and work in the
community, and would have flexibility
in their operations.
CAR PEOPLE. PRIDE & JOY IS BACK!
Come see the classics, the ‘rods, and who knows; maybe a proto-
type?
Why is it called the ORSON WELLES
WAR OF THE WORLDS DISCLAIMER
Once again we have to concede that there are three
kinds of people who might be reading this News-
blast. They are: The Smart, the Visitors, and the
ones who wear tinfoil hats. The Smart ones have a
sense of humor, and some of you even contribute to
this little piece of the newsletter. The Visitors can’t
be expected to know because some of this stuff is
DISCLAIMER
Just a reminder here.
The material in this
Newsblast relating to
the THUNDER IN
THE PINES RAC-
ING CIRCUIT and
the PONY EXPRESS
1900 ENDURANCE
RACE, is all….okay,
….. mostly fiction.
There is a reason we
refer to this as the
Orson Welles WAR
OF THE WORLDS
disclaimer. The mar-
tians are not invading
the earth, and an en-
durance race will not
be run on our roads, as
much as we might like
it. You will just have
to be satisfied with go-
ing to things like the
PRIDE & JOY car
show.
plausible, and they may not know the area well.
And then there are those few who
just might write a letter to their mem-
ber of congress to complain about the
misuse of streets by loud people and
loud cars. If you know one, simply offer to flatten
out the warped spaces on their tinfoil hat, and go
see the PRIDE & JOY car show, ‘cause you won’t
see a race.

THUNDER IN THE PINES RACING
Retro NASCAR stockers to race at THUNDER IN
THE PINES
Officials announced today that NASCAR will be
creating a new class of cars known as NASCAR
RETRO that will run in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series (NNS). The cars will essentially be NASCAR
full-sized stock cars from the 1966-68 years, but with
a few changes. Construction rules will allow custom
frames, modern brakes, modern
suspensions, and of course, en-
gines that meet the new rules and
use exotic and experimental fuels. The bodies, how-
ever, will have to be steel replicas of the bodies of
the cars that raced in 67-68. Rules will also set
weight minimums that will assure that
the replica racers weigh as much as the
originals.
Expect cars to “trade paint.”
Chris P. Bacon, British hog farmer, and Veteran of
the 24 hours of Le Mans was in Pollock Pines last
weekend when two of the new cars, a replica 1966
Ford Fairlane , and a replica 1967 Plymouth Fury,
were quietly brought into town. Parties associated
with the cars met occasionally at C & T’s
RESTAURANT, apparently hoping that they
would fit into the classic car crowd. Bacon,
who was in town on an agricultural matter,
recognized some of the personnel, and fol-
lowed them to a part of the proposed circuit
where the cars were tested on some of our Pol-
lock Pines roads. Bacon described the two
cars racing each other as ungainly and clearly
heavier than modern sedans, noting that : “It
was like watching two sumo wrestlers on
roller skates.”
Green slime halts construction
Planning the circuit was halted for a few hours
last Friday when yellow/green slime puddles
were found at two locations on Opal Trail,
near the Gold Ridge Lodge. Environmental
extremists from the group B.O.R.E. rushed to
the scene where B.O.R.E member Mystie Ed-
wards stuck her finger into one of the
puddles, tasted it, then declared
that the smear was a yellow-
legged frog that had been crushed by construc-
tion machinery. Her elation at causing the
halting of construction was dulled when a
botanist later identified the smear as more
likely to have come from a large
bird with a liver disease.
