    An event flyer announces an upcoming debate for candidates running for Sacramento County Supervisor District 4.

    Candidates for Sacramento County Supervisor District 4, which covers Citrus Heights, are scheduled for a debate inside the Harris Center at Folsom Lake College on Tues., March 15.

    The debate is hosted by the Folsom Chamber of Commerce and is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and continue through 8 p.m., with former Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinnis moderating the event.

    Candidates on schedule for the evening include Citrus Heights Council Member Sue Frost, Folsom City Council Member Kerri Howell, teacher Gary Blenner, former deputy sheriff Gary Burns, Folsom Cordova School Board Member Teresa Stanley, and candidate Michael Kozlowski.

    The six candidates are all seeking to fill a spot on the Supervisor board left by Roberta MacGlashan, who announced last fall she would not be seeking re-election.

    Additional candidates are still able to enter the race, as the deadline to submit nomination papers to run for Supervisor District 4 was extended until March 16 at 5 p.m., according to a news release issued by elections officials on Friday.

  • Antelope Road Lanes Closed Twice from Two Major Injury Accidents

    Several lanes on Antelope Road at Sunrise Boulevard were shut down for five hours Monday, after officers responded to a motor scooter injury accident around 3 a.m. – just 12 hours later, Antelope Road lanes were shut down again when a bicyclist collided with a vehicle just a few blocks away at the Auburn Road intersection.

    Citrus Height police conduct investigation at Antelope Road and Auburn Boulevard, Monday.

    The morning collision involved a scooter carrying two people, which reports say struck a median after sliding 250 feet along the ground. Police said the afternoon collision involved a bicyclist crossing Antelope Road against a red light, who struck a van that was lawfully in the intersection.

    The morning collision resulted in several lanes being closed for five hours during commute time as police conducted an investigation, and lanes were closed again in the afternoon for about an hour.

    Police said no helmets were worn by those involved in both the morning and afternoon crashes, and all three persons were hospitalized with injuries ranging from moderate to critical.

    A Citrus Heights Police Department press release sent out after Monday’s injury accidents reminded bicyclists “to obey all rules of the road, including riding with the flow of traffic, and to protect themselves by wearing a helmet.”

    The CHPD requests that anyone who may have seen the afternoon collision contact their Traffic Unit at 916-727-5500.
