Amador County – CBS Nightly News wrapped up a second day of filming in Amador County yesterday, including a strolling chat with Frank Halvorson across the empty parking lot out in front of Prospect Motors. Correspondent Bill Whitaker and a crew from northern and southern California captured the story through interviews. They include former Chamber of Commerce President Paul Molinelli Jr., area Principal and avid Prospect customer Virginia Grabbe, and local Interfaith Food Bank director Kathleen Harmon, and Jackson City Manager Mike Daly. They spoke with the athletic directors at Argonaut and Amador High Schools, where Halvorson’s donations over the last three decades have helped field teams and trim fields, paint and light scoreboards, dress out teams, and inevitably fill stands and bleachers and gravel sidewalks. Just after 10 a.m. yesterday, Halvorson joined Whitaker and his technicians on the front sidewalk of Prospect Motors, his showroom empty behind him, his fleet of General Motors vehicles gone from view, taken back by GMAC. They walked the length of the empty parking lot as the cameraman back-pedaled, with Paul Facie of Los Angeles holding a large square light filter to block the high late morning sun for the camera. Earlier, Harmon stood on the sidewalk, talking to Facie about Halvorson and also the giving nature of Amador County. She told him about the turkey shortage the week before Thanksgiving, when 400 turkeys were gathered. Now, the biggest philanthropist in Amador County is telling his side of the story. The story is set to air on CBS Nightly News with Katie Couric, with the broadcast date as yet unknown. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
