Paul Cummings, Nevada County Office of Emergency Services July 7, 2021
Host Lori Burkart Frank brings us a glimpse into the life of Paul Cummings; where he came from, and how he became a key player in keeping Nevada County safe during emergencies. Growing up in San Diego, he hoped to become a military pilot. A degree in aviation and a pilot’s license resulted in work as an air traffic controller and on to a commission as an Air Force Navigator. Paul’s two kids were born at military bases but have become very much at home in Nevada County. Closing his Air Force career as a mission planner for the U2 at Beale AFB, the family found Nevada County’s geography, rural, laid-back life style and relatively low humidity provided a great landing place. In his current position, Paul oversees a group of folks working to mitigate emergencies in our area, including–but not exclusively–wildfires. He demonstrated complete confidence in the professionals involved in law enforcement and f
Susan Clarabut, Nevada County Board of Education June 2, 2021
Host Lori Burkart Frank leads our discovery of the life and times of Susan Clarabut, a woman with education in her blood; Grandmother, Mom, Aunts and Uncles were all teachers. A former teacher, principal and Assistant Superintendent, she was elected to the Nevada County Board of Education in 2020. Susan would probably never have left her work in a one-room school in the Redwoods, but her husband was transferred here in his work with CalFire and they’ve adapted well and lived in Nevada County for 40 years. Her time as a waitress taught her a great deal about getting along with people. Like many other teachers, she says teaching kids is the easy part of the job; dealing with all the other people involved, from parents to administrators, sometimes not so much! Heartfelt memories include an eighth grader telling her the book they’d read was the first one he ever finished. For Susan, education is about connection and t
Megan Lloyd, Nevada County Adult Services Librarian April 28, 2021
Host Lori Burkart Frank takes us on a journey into the life and times of an Adult Services Librarian. We learn that Megan Lloyd grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, but wasn’t that interested in reading until her mother read Harry Potter to her in the third grade. Grandmother was an elementary school librarian and her influence ultimately sealed the deal on books! Megan came to California to attend University of Redlands, after a college recruiter noticed that she was “looking for something a little different.” A BA in Film and Culture led to a stint in Hollywood to see if a Film Directing career was in the cards, an endeavor she soon found disappointing. A couple of years teaching English in Japan led to studying for a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science at San Jose State. After interning in the Los Angeles Library System and having a son, her husband’s roots in Nevada County made our communi
