CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A new documentary sponsored by two local tribes that documents the creation of a consortium that protects cultural resources is having its local premiere this week.
The new film, “Saving the Sacred,” will be screened at a special event at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Konocti Education Center, 15850 Dam Road Extension A, Clearlake.
Dino Beltran, a member of the tribal leadership of the Koi Nation, said the program will include pow wow drumming and dancing by the Big Valley Pomo Dancers.
The evening also will feature a talk by local archaeologist Dr. John Parker, and a question and answer session with the filmmakers after the film is shown.
The film follows the creation of Ancestors 1, the memorandum the Koi Nation, the Habematolel Pomo, Elem Indian Colony and Robinson Rancheria entered into with the county of Lake. The Board of Supervisors approved the agreement unanimously in December 2015.
The memorandum of understanding seeks to protect sacred sites through the development process. It also established formal relationships with the sheriff and district attorney to prosecute archaeological crimes. It was the sixth agreement of its type within the state, as Lake County News has reported.
Beltran said he wants municipalities throughout the state to know they can enter these agreements.
He said the film also shows how the community came together to support the consortium.
“We kicked butt on it,” he said of the film.
“Saving the Sacred” was made with the Advanced Laboratory of Visual Anthropology of California State University, Chico. It’s the same group that collaborated with the Koi Nation to win an Emmy for “A Walk Through Time,” its documentary on Anderson Marsh, in 2017.
This latest documentary features actor Peter Coyote as its narrator. Coyote also narrated Ken Burns’ documentary, “Country Music,” now playing on PBS.
It also features appearances by former Gov. Jerry Brown, Sheriff Brian Martin, Supervisor and Tribal Chair EJ Crandell and Native American Heritage Commission Executive Director Christina Snider, among others.
Beltran said “Saving the Sacred” is nominated for the Governor's Historic Preservation Award, which the memorandum of agreement between Ancestors 1 and the county of Lake received in 2016.
The film will be available to all PBS stations for airing through mid-October, and also will be available for Native American Month in November, Beltran said.
Tickets for the Saturday event are $20 each, with all proceeds to go to supporting Anderson Marsh State Historic Park in Lower Lake.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Association of Realtors reported that August real estate sales in Lake County followed a pattern that has been seen for most of 2019, with prices remaining relatively flat and overall sales down when compared to 2018.
The median sales price in August was $259,900, up 2.77 percent from the July median and down 1.14 percent from August 2018.
There were 80 sales of single-family residences in August, down 18.38 percent from the 98 sales in July and down 9.1 percent from the 88 sales in August, 2018.
“Housing demand has exhibited signs of improvement in recent months as lower rates continued to reduce the cost of borrowing for home buyers,” said LCAOR President Mary Benson. “However, buyers remain cautious, and many are reluctant to jump in because of the economic and market uncertainty that continue to linger, and that is keeping growth subdued despite significantly lower rates.”
On the financing side of the business, cash buyers purchased 21.25 percent of the sold homes, conventional loans 36.25 percent and FHA 22.5 percent. VA loans accounted for 6.25 percent of the sales and USDA loans 5.0 percent.
On a statewide basis the California Association of Realtors reported that the median sales price in California for August was $617,410, up 1.5 percent from August and up 3.6 percent from August 2018.
Existing, single-family home sales totaled 406,100 in August on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, down 1.3 percent from July and up 1.6 percent from August 2018.
The 30-year, fixed-mortgage interest rate averaged 3.62 percent in August, down from 4.55 percent in August 2018, according to Freddie Mac.
The five-year, adjustable mortgage interest rate was an average of 3.36 percent, compared to 3.47 percent in August 2018.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said it will not include Lake County in a planned public safety power shutoff slated to begin on Monday evening but a red flag warning issued for a large section of Northern California could result in power being cut to parts of Lake County on Tuesday.
PG&E confirmed it is going ahead with a public safety power shutoff beginning on Monday evening affecting about 21,000 customers in three Northern California counties: Butte, Nevada and Yuba counties in the Sierra foothills.
The company said it expects to start cutting off power in those areas at 5 p.m. Monday in advance of windy, dry conditions are forecast to begin around sundown. The shutoff process is expected to take several hours.
The peak fire risk in the three-county shutoff area is forecast to last until 9 a.m. on Tuesday, PG&E said.
PG&E opened its Emergency Operations Center in San Francisco on Saturday and said it has been monitoring the weather and the evolving situation. PG&E’s meteorological team continues to monitor weather forecasts hourly, and the company has hundreds of personnel ready to respond for inspections, repairs and restoration once the weather subsides.
Based on the current forecast, PG&E said the public safety power shutoff impact footprint has been reduced to 21,000 in three counties in the Sierra foothills from an original forecast of 124,000 in nine counties in the Sierra foothills and the North Bay, an area that had included the southern portion of Lake County and nearly 13,000 customers, as Lake County News has reported.
No customers in the North Bay are expected to be affected by Monday’s public safety power shutoff, nor are customers in El Dorado, Placer and Sutter counties expected to be affected Monday, PG&E reported.
However, Lake County and its North Bay neighbors could still experience a power shutdown on Tuesday, PG&E said.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for a large portion of Northern California – including Lake, Butte, Colusa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa, Shasta, Solano, Tehama and Yolo counties – that went into effect at 1 p.m. Monday and will continue until 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The forecast calls for northerly winds that will increase this evening through Wednesday morning, reaching approximately 35 miles per hour.
Cal Fire officials said the combination of gusty winds, low humidity, and very dry fuels will result in critical fire weather conditions.
PG&E said it’s tracking that red flag warning, with critical conditions expected to begin on Tuesday evening and peak at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Because of those fire weather conditions, PG&E said it is considering whether to initiate a second public safety power shutoff event late Tuesday morning that would impact a nine-county region in the Sierra foothills and the North Bay that includes Lake County.
If a shutdown takes place in that nine-county region, PG&E said it is anticipated to take place during the late afternoon or evening hours on Tuesday.
PG&E will make a final decision on whether to initiate a second public safety power shutoff event late Tuesday morning.
If a public safety power shutoff proceeds in that nine-county region, PG&E anticipates it will take place during the late afternoon or evening hours on Tuesday.
Cal Fire said Monday that its Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit has bolstered its firefighting resources in response to the red flag warning.
The agency said it’s added more engines, hand crews and bulldozers that will be staffed 24 hours a day, with additional emergency command center personnel and other personnel ready to fill command and control functions in the event of a major fire.
Cal Fire Unit Chief Shana Jones asked community members not to use outdoor power equipment until the red flag event has ended and even then, use as early in the day as possible to avoid the increased burning conditions during the heat of the day.
Approximately 11 percent of the fires in the Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit are caused by individuals
using equipment in and around dry vegetation, Cal Fire reported.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Late on Sunday night Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said Lake County is now on the list of nine Northern California counties where it anticipates it will need to shut off power starting on Monday evening due to a forecast of fire weather conditions early this week.
In addition to Lake, PG&E said the public safety power shutoff area includes portions of Butte, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sutter and Yuba counties in the Sierra foothills and Napa and Sonoma counties in the North Bay.
This potential public safety power shutoff could affect approximately 124,000 customers in the nine counties.
Among them are 12,840 residents in Lake County, including 796 medical baseline customers.
A map provided by PG&E, shown below, indicates that the areas most likely to experience a shut off in Lake County include the city of Clearlake, areas along Highway 20 east to Colusa County, Lower Lake, Hidden Valley Lake, Middletown and Cobb.

Elevated weather conditions, including potential fire risk, are forecasted to begin around 8 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, with the peak period of fire risk forecasted to last until 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
PG&E will make a final decision on whether to proceed with the public safety power shutoff late Monday morning. If a decision is made to proceed with a public safety power shutoff for these counties, it is anticipated to take place during the late afternoon or evening hours on Monday.
To support customers in the potentially impacted counties, PG&E will open Community Resource Centers in multiple locations on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 8 a.m. The centers will be open during daylight hours only and will provide restrooms, bottled water, electronic device charging and air-conditioned seating for up to 100 customers each.
As of Sunday night, the only centers that PG&E announced locations for are the Auburn Gold County Fairgrounds in Auburn, the Sierra College Grass Valley Campus, Taylor’s Restaurant in Loomis, Oroville Union High School and Oregon House in Yuba City.
PG&E said it will announce additional locations for community resource centers on Monday before the public safety power shutoff is initiated.
PG&E is also tracking a second, similar weather event in the same general geographic region for Tuesday evening, Sept. 24.
Elevated weather conditions, including potential fire risk, are forecasted to begin around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, with the peak period of fire risk forecasted to last until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25.
