Commissioner Koenig asked staff to bring back an agenda item at a not too distant meeting to revisit the discussions the previous Board had on election time and where people could set up their booths as he did not believe there were enough spots for this year. Sam Merlino said she had already reserved the Bob Ruud for the two weeks of early voting, which she thought would work out better due to past issues with parking at the courthouse. A plan was needed though for the campaign tents outside of the Bob Ruud. As far as the parking at the courthouse, Commissioner Cox said if the employees would park in the overflow parking during that time then more people could be in the front, but Bob Ruud was fine with her if there would be enough parking. TIMED ITEMS 7. 10:00 — Presentation of certificates and/or plagues to nine (9) employees honored for their years of service.

Page 5 October 17, 2017 SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COUNTY MANAGER 33. For Possible Action — Discussion and deliberation to 1) approve funding for a Veteran’s Banner Program to honor Veterans by hanging banners on the light poles located at the Calvada Eye in Pahrump. The cost of each banner is $200 and can be funded from Veterans Service Fund; and 2) direct staff to advertise for candidates from the public. Commissioner Koenig made a motion to approve the funding for the Veteran’s Banner Program, direct staff to advertise for candidates from the public, and adopt the criteria set forth in the application; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Richard Goldstein, President of the American Veterans Foundation of Pahrump, said the foundation began talking a year ago about ways to do something for the veterans in Pahrump and the banners came up. They would like to put them in the entrance to the Calvada Eye. Nominations would be taken from people who would like to have a banner and he thought with the poles along the Calvada Eye about 40 banners could be put up and then rotated as needed. Mr. Goldstein displayed one of the banners while Ron Wright, Vice President of the American Veterans Foundation of Pah rump, described what would be put on them. Commissioner Borasky said he was adamant about Ian Deutch getting the first one. He thanked everyone for getting the project moving and finally bringing it to conclusion. Angela Bello said these were government banners, not private banners, so the Board should either designate someone to approve the final design of the banner or it should come back to the Board.

The help provided by the Rocklin History Museum staff is gratefully acknowledged. www.rocklinhistory.org Articles written by Gary Day for the Rocklin History Museum expand greatly upon the history provided herein. He and his wife Jean have spent years researching, gathering and cataloguing information and writing articles about Rocklin and the Whitney family's history. First Published: June 7, 2008 Revised January 1, 2018 2 Recent History The Whitney Oaks Community Association (WOCA), aside from being one of the largest residential neighborhoods in Rocklin, California, is set within a remarkably beautiful natural setting with a very rich historical connection. That history encompasses the 3 R's, Rocklin's Rocks, Rocklin's Railroad and Rocklin's Ranch. Rocklin's Rocks: Granite was quarried in Rocklin beginning in the late 1850s and by the mid 1870s beautiful polished granite could be produced. By 1890, when 30 quarries were operating, 2,000 rail car loads were being shipped each year. Sixty quarries existed at one time or another but by 1928 few remained in operation.

  • The State of Sex: Tourism, Sex and Sin in the New American Heartland
    THE STATE OF SEX The State of Sex is a study of Nevada’s legal brothels that situates the nation’s only legal brothel industry in the political economy of con- temporary tourism. Nevada is part of the “new American heartland,” as its pastimes, people, and politics have become more central to the nation. The rise of a service and leisure economy over the past 60 years has propelled sexuality into the heart of contemporary markets. Yet, neoliberal laws in the United States promote business but limit sexual commerce. How have Nevada’s legal brothels survived, while the rest of the country criminalizes prostitution? How do the brothels operate? Who works in them? This book brings social theory on globalizing econ- omies, politics, leisure consumption, and emotional labor in interactive service work together with research on contemporary prostitution and sexual commerce. The authors employ an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, combining historical analysis of how the brothels came to be with over a decade’s worth of ethnographic research on the current state of the industry. Barbara G. Brents, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Sociology and Faculty Affiliate in Women’s Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Crystal A. Jackson, M.A., is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Kathryn Hausbeck, Ph.D., is Senior Associate Dean of the Graduate College and Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Edited by Valerie Jenness, University of California–Irvine and Jodi O’Brien, Seattle University This innovative series is for all readers interested in books that provide frameworks for making sense of the complexities of contemporary social life.

Law School Student Scholarship. 13. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/13 You Can’t Get Rid of It So You Might as Well Tax It: The Economic Impact of Nevada’s Legalized Prostitution David Goldman Introduction Prostitution is arguably the oldest profession in the history of mankind. From 5th Century BCE, to ancient Greece, to modern day Amsterdam and Nevada, prostitution is a way of life for both the prostitutes as well as their customers. The debate regarding legalized prostitution is rife with arguments on both sides that speak of the pros and cons of a legalized or decriminalized stance toward prostitution. Scholars argue either from a morality standpoint buttressed with statistics on the quality of life the prostitutes experience, or scholars suggest that the prostitute’s body is her own and she may do with it as she pleases. The economic impact of legalized prostitution is substantial and this impact cannot be refuted from either moralists or feminists who disagree with the profession as a whole. Nevada is one such example of a locale where the legalized prostitution industry brings in substantial income to the county coffers.

  • COLORADO (USA): Chasing Chickens, April 2021
    Tropical Birding Trip Report COLORADO (USA): Chasing Chickens, April 2021 A Tropical Birding set departure tour COLORADO (USA): Chasing Chickens 7th – 17th April 2021 Observing dozens of displaying male Greater Sage-Grouse at length, performing these odd “pageants” flanked by the scenic, snow-splattered mountains of Colorado was a typical, major highlight of this tour (Sam Woods/Tropical Birding Tours). Tour Leaders: Sam Woods and Ben Knoot. Report written by Sam Woods. Thanks to participants Stanley Almoney, John Kern, John Strawser, and Margaret Wang for the use of their photos from this tour in the report (individually indicated). 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report COLORADO (USA): Chasing Chickens, April 2021 Introduction: Many “normal” tourists would be surprised to find out birders visit Colorado during the springtime, when ski slopes are still active, many of the summer hiking trails are yet to open, and the weather is nothing if not predictably changeable. However, we came to see the “chickens” first and foremost and this is the heady time of year when not only are these most conspicuous, during their spring displays at traditional lek sites, but also coincides with a season of transition when breeding birds and wintering species are all also in the mix. It was a very successful tour, during this 2300mile (3600km)-long road trip that spanned much of the “Centennial State”, we got to see every possible chicken, all 13 species of them. This included the dramatic displays of Greater and Lesser Prairie-Chickens, (photo right, John Strawser), Sharp-tailed Grouse, and Greater and Gunnison Sage- Grouse.
