“The Dark Side of Sustainability,” Presentation by Heather Gass at Calaveras Library
San Andreas, CA... “The Dark Side of Sustainability,” a presentation by Heather Gass of Citizens Town Hall, will be heard at the Calaveras County library in San Andreas, 1299 Gold Hunter Rd. in San Andreas on October 17 at 2:30. Sponsored by the Calaveras County Republican Party, Ms. Gass’s presentation will highlight Agenda 21, its key concept “sustainability,” and its effect on our county’s proposed General Plan.
Citizens Town Hall is a bay area group fighting, among other measures, the One Bay Area Plan that grew out of The California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, signed by then Governor Schwarzenegger and scheduled for implementation this year. The plan seeks to implement a strategy of increasing the density of population in the bay area with measures that include much of the same language and components found in the proposed Calaveras County General Plan. Ms. Gass will explain how backers of Agenda 21 seek to spread their influence to foothill communities and the effect of that effort on individual property rights.
Heather Gass is a realtor in Contra Costa County and a member of the East Bay Area Tea Party Patriots. She has been an outspoken critic of UN Agenda 21and the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) the domestic entity promoting Agenda 21 in the U.S.

HUBArts Program Launches in Jackson
AmadorArts is partnering with ACRA to offer professional has been notified by the California Arts Council, a State agency, that it has been selected to receive grant funding to implement a program that will provide a variety of opportunities for youth to participate in free arts workshops at the HUB Community Center in downtown Jackson. Local artists will teach classes in many arts disciplines to junior-high aged youth in an after-school setting. A requirement of the grant was to partner with another local public agency, and ACRA (Amador County Recreational Agency) is the key player to share in the implementation.
The CAC grant is “Creating Places of Vitality,” created by the State to support small arts organizations in rural and underserved communities that propose new partnerships which will help revitalize communities. Each applicant has designed its own project. AmadorArts is one of 84 California arts organizations that will receive these grants. Only 11 recipients are local arts councils in counties such as Yolo, El Dorado, and Napa. Most of the other arts organizations are in the San Francisco Bay Area; a smaller amount from the Los Angeles area. A total of $996,740 will be awarded. The individual awards must be matched which means the local agencies need local sponsors and donations to help fund their project.
The AmadorArts/ACRA project is titled “HUBArts,” and the goals are:
· To provide after-school opportunities for local junior-high-aged youth to experience and engage in arts activities
· To launch the HUB as a community center for arts and activities
· Create positive activities for youth in downtown Jackson
The project is supported by JUSTAP, Jackson Junior High School, City of Jackson and the Amador Alliance for Arts Education. Advanced art students at Argonaut High are currently working on logo designs.
We are hoping that this program will bring the art and vitality of youth to the City of Jackson. We would like to give local businesses the opportunity to display youth artwork from the program, and find ways to work together to build on the vibrancy of downtown Jackson.
If you are able, please stop by the KICK-OFF party on Thursday October 17th at 3pm at the HUB, 206 Main, to get a taste of the HUBArts Program.
