At the last MAC meeting Supervisor O’Brien sent an E Mail about the Covered Bridge up for National Monument status and wanted the MAC’s stand on that and the resubmitting of plans for the Overlook subdivision on Cemetery and Frymire. California Highway Patrolman Anthony spoke on the stop sign watch in the Ferry the other morning; he stopped 8 cars for not stopping in 15 minutes! He noted that bicyclists MUST stop at stop signs also. Tom Rauch was at the meeting to explore setting up a MAC for the Sunset Oaks area, as they have been plagued with theft during the day.

The Peddler’s Faire as well attended and there were about 90 vendors selling their wares. Your reporter could not attend due to her foot. Thanks go out to the behind the scenes people; those that got there at 5:00 a.m. to sign in vendors, those who kept the bathrooms stocked with paper, those who emptied garbage, those who directed traffic (Clampers), the shuttle driver, the STARS in the Museum, the Odd Fellows for breakfast, and  the members of the History and Museum Association who put on the Faire every year. This year Gayle Higgins headed the committee. Great job everyone!
