BY CHRISTOPHER ROSACKER Staff Writer T o folks outside Nevada County, Sunday’s Nevada City Classic may be the best known of the local activities this Father’s Day week- end. But the Nevada City Adult Soapbox Derby is booming among locals in only its second year. Last year’s maiden voyage of the soapbox derby attracted an estimated 4,500 attendees and raised nearly $5,000 to benefit Nevada City’s Pioneer Park, funding the installation of a new bocce ball court. “It was just absolutely amazing how giddy everyone was and how much passion everyone had for the event,” said Mark Swasey of Swasey’s Public Wholesale, whose racer came in fifth place last year. Event organizer Rich Bodine esti- mates that this year’s derby will likely triple the first year’s total funds raised, thanks to sponsors such as Grass Valley-based AJA Video’s $10,000 con- tribution and New York-based Markertek, a broadcast and pro-audio supplier that contracts with local pro- ducers, such as AJA and Ensemble Designs. Whatever the final fund total will be, its allocation has not yet been deter- mined, Bodine said. Nevada City’s Parks and Recreation Department will have a tent at the race where attendees can submit their ideas for park projects. “There are many options for upgrades and improvements to our park — playground, pool area, walking trail and better drainage for the ball fields, to name a few,” said Nevada City Mayor David McKay in a submitted statement to The Union. Some project ideas Bodine men- tioned included a sand volleyball court, upgraded barbecue and picnic areas and a path for walkers, joggers and bicycle riders around the park. While the race certainly is about caring for the park, there is no shortage of enthusiasm for the derby itself, Bodine said. More than 40 entries will race to beat last year’s winning Telestream team. Telestream’s returning racer has been designated No. One, with a target around the number, Bodine said. Swasey’s team said they made some improvements to their two-man, bobsled-like entry and are gunning for first place this year.

However, there was insufficient evidence in one count involving a fourth alleged victim. The allegations center around inappropriate behavior allegedly exhib- ited by John Orozco toward several teenage girls, who were school friends of his daughter’s. The girls testified in Nevada County Superior Court Thursday that from the time they were 14 or 15 Orozco would ask for hugs, hold their hands and ask them to be his girlfriend. The most serious incident involved a 17-year-old girl identified as A.C., who testified that last fall, Orozco pushed her against a wall and kissed her on the lips and later asked her if he could give her a hickey. He later apologized and asked her not to tell anyone, she testified. The girl said she did tell her friend about the incident, but she “acted like it was a complete fairy tale.” She said she did not report it to law enforcement initially because she felt bad for her friend. A.C. denied knowing at the time that Orozco had admitted to her moth- er that he was a registered sex offender. His conviction allegedly dates back to when he was 24 and having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. According to the Megan’s Law website, he was convicted of rape by force or fear.
