=/ 1 0 The Nevada County Nugget, Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1970 NID postpones loan election until June. The Nevada Irrigation District directors agreed Wednesday to the $1.5 million supplemental loan election until June, 1971, Manager Frank Clendenen told the directors he talked to the Bureau of Reclamation attorney, _the federal bureau from which the loan would be requested, and the attorney said June, 1971, ‘was sufficient time. The district had originally planned to hold the election on Nov, 3, consolidating it with the general election. "There is nohurry," Clendenen said, saying that with a June élection the district. staff will have time to prepare allreports which must accompany the loan request. Director James McAdams said he wanted it understood that the postponement was "for technical reasons." “The loan would be supplemental to the almost $5-million federal loan approved in 1968 which is being spent now to improve parts of the distribution system. ; Purpose of the lement would be to serve western Nevada county and relieve commitments on water systems located farther north. It would allow construction of a system from the Bear River, on which the district now has a water right, to 31,400 acres in southwestern Nevada county which do. not now have water. _Clendenen also reportedthat he was to meet today with Economic Development Administration officials and Miss Elizabeth George, the executive director of Sierra Economic Development District, in Sacramento to discuss the $1.26 million grant from EDA: He reported that Miss George felt the climate was favorable for the grant at this time. The EDA grant,. if received ‘Oklahoma!’ is next play for local singers Members of the Nevada County Light Opera Company have been rehearsing for the past weeks for their fall production of "Oklahoma". The Rodgers and Hammerstein hit musical will be presented three times at the Grass Valley Veterans Memorial Building. Performances are scheduled the evening of Oct. 23 and in an afternoon and evening performance on Oct, 24, Local amateurs and professionals from the Light Opera Company which has presented “H.M.S, Pinafore," "The Pirates of Penzance" and "My Fair Lady" in recent years. Proceeds from all productions of the company go to local char-st of the mar‘ing, . will be used for a water system in the north Auburn area. A request by a Sacramento firm to salvage the BowmanSpaulding flume, no longer in use, led to a decision to advertise locally for the flume . material. President Alex Ferreira thought the district should see if any local people want the flume, He suggested the flumebe put to bid as "in the case of any other surplus property." Al Scurr, administrative assistant, was authorized to place bid advertisements in local and nearby newspapers and advertise on radio, "At the request of a number of insurance brokers," Wilbur Wells, the NID controller said, ‘could. we postpone the date to accept insurance bids from September until Nov. 12," The board approved the postponement when Wells explained that the insurance men had not gone on a field inspection trip of the district as yet. The tour is set for next week, Wells Bids will be accepted at the Nov. 12 meeting and the insurance contract awarded at the first. meeting in December, the directors agreed. Jim_ Brady, project engineer for the Cascade project, reported that work is progressing with most. phases running parallel to the estimates. He said 1,700 feet of bench flume is yet to be placed over the most difficult terrain of the project. Workmen have been slowed because of fire danger, he said. The Tahoe National Forest has restricted the use of chain saws and dynamiting during the hot and drier part of the days. The Sept. 9 meeting was canceled, and the next meeting was set for Sept. 23. 20 lots in Graniteville to be sold Twenty lots in the little town of Graniteville will be sold at a Superior Court auction at 10 a.m. Friday. " Lots ranging from one and a half to six acres will go tohighest cash bidders, with the minimum bid price $600 per lot. Superior Court Judge Vernon Stoll, now retired, will return to wield the auctioneer's hammer as he did in such sales when he was judge of the Nevada County Superior Court. The court periodically has held auctions of lands in the vicinity of Washington and Graniteville which it acquired By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 This has been a remarkably good year for Dr. and Mrs, Bert Spaite. First of the years happy happenings was for grandson, Eugene (Ricky) Boling of Oakland. He is a junior at Loyola University. and was one of two outstanding students to receive a summer grant for Heart Research. Ricky was privileged to spend two months at Children's Hospital in San Francisco. Then Marguerites' son Raleigh DeBow of Orinda, was elected president of the Bank of America's Continental Services, He will be responsible for the bank's real estate activities for all of California and naturally Marguerite is pleased at such a wonderful opportunity. Last but certainly not least she, herself, was written up in "Personalities of the West and Midwest." Outstanding or distinguished personalities were selected to appear ,in this book "in recognition of past achievements and outstanding service to community and state." Marguerites’ list of education and achievements fills a whole paragraph. Besides being an RN she is an RT (registered technician). She also has a Teaching Credential for Vocational Nursing Training at the University of California. She has done some speaking and teaching and has written some articles, I learned quite a lot about Dentistry from the ones I read. Could be because Dr. Bert is a dentist. Besides all this she is a-good neighbor. You should have seen her out, in her good shoes, driving in the Prochaska's cows. Naturally they would get out while John was at the fair. She had help. Grandson Mark Boling . and his young friend Chris Hom of Oakland, who: are visiting her, gave a hand. : ado John Prochaska who won a trophy for his beef showmanship last year came in second this time. He said he had his feet too far apart. When judging gets that close you can bet. both boys did a really good job. Incidentally John didn't mean his feet were too far apart.
