All Day Arts-In-Corrections Art Show at Columbia College Through March 28, 2019
Jamestown, CA...Artworks by California inmates at Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) will be on display at Columbia College in Sonora through March 28, 2019. The show, “Artistic Realms,” features 100 acrylic paintings on display and for sale in the college’s Manzanita Building. The artworks were created by students in the William James Association’s Prison Arts Project class taught at SCC. The course is made possible by a contract through California Arts in Corrections, a partnership between the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the California Arts Council. Arts in Corrections programs are evidence-based courses that reduce recidivism through structured instruction of visual, performing and literary arts.


The free exhibit is available for public viewing from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Columbia College is located at 11600 Columbia College Drive.

Bids on artworks will be taken via silent auction through 4 p.m. on March 27. Proceeds from the sales of the artwork will go to two non-profit organizations — Columbia College Foundation Art Scholarship and Columbia College Student Food Bank.

Paintings include landscapes, birds, animals, underwater fish, planets and abstract works. Many of the wooden picture frames that adorn the paintings were made by the vocational carpentry program at SCC, supervised by instructor Randy Bland.

Stacy Hay, a retired correctional officer and local artist, leads the arts course. Hay said the classes are a valuable rehabilitative program.

“The process of creativity opens the mind and the human spirit. It teaches self-discipline and problem solving,” Hay said. “These arts programs are proven to decrease institutional tensions, and lower recidivism rates. Most of these students are getting out of prison and could be your neighbors. This art exhibition gives them a way to give back to our local community.”
05:30 PM CCWD to Discuss Lake Tulloch Area Sewer Improvements at March 19 Town Hall
Copperopolis, CA...The Calaveras County Water District is holding a town hall meeting in Copperopolis in mid-March to seek community input on an upcoming construction project to improve the District’s sewer system around Lake Tulloch. The project is currently in the planning/design phase, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2019 with construction slated for spring 2020. The town hall meeting is open to the public and will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday March 19 at Black Creek Hall, 920 Black Creek Drive, Copperopolis. CCWD will provide a project overview, take questions and be available for small-group discussions following the presentation.


This project will eliminate a 6-inch sewer pipeline that currently runs under a portion of Lake Tulloch and construct a new pipeline that runs 5,200 feet along O’Byrnes Ferry Road and Connor Estates Drive. The new pipeline will redirect sewer flows away from pump stations adjacent to Lake Tulloch, which will reduce the chances of spills occurring near the water. The project also includes the renovation of four sewer pump stations (two in Poker Flat and two in Copper Cove Subdivision), which will increase operational efficiency and reduce the potential risk of operational hazards to staff members. A preliminary cost estimate expects the project to cost $5.25 million, which will be funded by the District’s Sewer Capital Renovation and Replacement Fund.

This project will have the greatest impact on the following communities:

Lake Tulloch Shores at Poker Flat, Calypso Bay, Connor Estates, Copper Cove
The streets that will be most impacted are as follows:

East side of Tulloch: O’Byrnes Ferry Road (between Connor Estates Drive and Duchess Drive), Connor Estates Drive, Bret Harte Drive, Jimmy Way
West side of Tulloch: Kiva Drive, Tewa Court, Lakeshore Drive
For more information contact Joel Metzger, Manager of External Affairs, Conservation and Grants, joelm@ccwd.org or (209) 754-3123.
