In other news, this month’s guest speaker was Russ Schtoy representing the Lake County Civil Grand Jury (not to be confused with the criminal grand jury).
Schtoy started with a brief overview of the history of grand juries from the Magna Carta, through the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, to the establishment of county sitting grand juries by California in its legal system.
He emphasized that the objective was to “Investigate, report, recommend” and the importance of grand juries as a “balancing” against rural counties boards who may be abusing their positions as boards become more and more filled with career politicians.
Schtoy stressed a desire for “truth,” “transparency,” “improvements” and “benefiting the citizens” as what makes for a great juror. He talked – briefly – about what juries do (amount of time spent, secrecy, and interfacing with all levels of the county).
He ended his presentation by encouraging anyone interested to fill out an application to join the grand jury.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. – The North State Modified Series, presented by Protect the Harvest, made their only appearance at All American Speedway in Roseville for the 2019 season with a fast-paced 60 lap main event.
Kelseyville’s Donovan Cox won the Lucas Oil Dash for $100 and then led the field to green. Cox led the opening lap before three-time NSMS champion Darrin Knight used the outside line to lead lap two.
Roseville’s Terry Deal spun in turn two for a caution on lap four. Points leader Cameron Austin of Santa Rosa used the yellow to sweep around Knight on the outside to lead lap five.
Knight and Jason Philpot of Sacramento raced side-by-side for several laps before a caution for Cox hitting the infield tires on the backstretch.
The pair switched positions with Philpot now inside Knight, which Knight used to clear him for second. Deal spun again with 14 to go which gave Knight a shot at Austin.
Austin proved too strong as he motored away for his first 2019 win ahead of Knight, fast-time qualifier Scott Winters, Darrin Sullivan, and Philpot.
Jason Philpot took home the Frank’s Radios certificate as well at $50 and a Scribner Jug for finishing second in the Lucas Oil Dash for Cash. Other Frank’s cash cards went to Dale Didoha and Terry Deal.
