What a Great place the Lake Oroville area is to live. Here are some of the sights eye saw on my way to work this morning. I drove up from my house to Brownsville where I am selling a home.

Lake Oroville is much fuller but still needs more water.

The mountain community of Forbestown. Stop at the Forbestown Store and have a deli sandwich and a drink.

Celebrating Our Nations Independence

The Oroville Chapter of Americans Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party organized and held a rally on Oro Dam Blvd today between 10am and noon. They arranged speakers Doug Lamalfa, Dan Logue and Tom McClintock who even tho they have their own party affiliations, just talked about Freedom and High Taxes that need to be reduced for the well being of the American people and taxpayers. The Americans TEA Party is Not a Democrat Nor Republican platform but Americans who have the common ground of  being Taxed Enough Already and Live within your means type government. There were more than 120 Americans including many military veterans who wanted to hear the speakers and wanted to share their opinions with signs to the many vehicles passing by who waved and honked showing their support. As One TEA Party Member said “Congress Stop Spending Money You Don’t Have”. Another TEA Party member said “The Outdated Click-it-or-Ticket” program nationally, spends more than 90 million dollars every year on a program that is not needed any longer because every new car and truck out there,  has buzzers that alert the driver if a passenger doesn’t have a seat belt on, quit wasting our tax dollars” he said.— The next rally is tentatively scheduled in September.—-If You Want to Help they are looking for new members who believe “We Need to DO Something for a Change”— For more information contact your local TEA Party 533-4348.

A property owner–Hignell Development Company owns 70.8 acres of undeveloped land north of the table mountain blvd thermalito power canal bridge. In August 2005 they obtained a tentative subdivision map approval for a 237 lot subdivision. Tonite the city council will consider: (1) an encrochment permit with the deptartment of water resources for construction of a sewer force main across the thermalito power canal bridge. (2) a loan from the sewer fund to the general fund to pay for construction of the sewer force main, and (3) a reimbursement agreement to Hignell Development Company for the oversizing costs of the sewer force main across the thermalito power canal bridge.———-This is an important vote that I think should pass. It will allow the land to be built on once the market makes it favorable to build new homes there. It is planned development and would bring construction jobs to our area and increased tax revenue. More jobs for our fire department and police——-Help Protect Property Owners Rights—-I know it takes away from family time and is not real convenient to be there, but please—Go to to the meeting and Support these resolutions so they pass—-

Hey the Races are Coming to Town Again—The Modified Outboard Hydroplane Divisional Championships Races are at the South Thermalito Forebay. There is even A-Rent-A-Race-Ride—-You can even Rent a Race Boat for a nominal fee—Check it out:

The Feather Fiesta Days Parade was enjoyed, as evidenced by the smiling faces in the crowd as the parade entrants went down 5th Avenue and Montgomery Street.  Ten to 15 thousand people (it was estimated) flocked all thru the downtown streets and gazed at the approximately 800 classic cars that were entered in the car show this year. I have enclosed some pictures of the entries for you to enjoy. It was a day of great fun, food and festivities with vendors galore including a nice fellow “Brooksie”, I got to chat with, who has his shop, “Brooks Novelty and Antique Records” in Old Sacramento at 1107 Firehouse Alley, who had an antique boothhere in the Municipal Auditorium parking lot. He likes our area here and our Lake, so decided to display his wares here to the passersby. I hope it was a great $$$ day for our local merchants too. Next year they are going to have to block off more streets for the other classic cars that could not get in because we were full, I heard.  It was a Great, Fun Filled Day, and Tons of Classic Beauties. Nothing like–Real Chrome and Nickel.
