Firefighters from the Montgomery Creek Fire Company No. 71 use JAWS
to free the driver of the hay truck from the cab of his overturned truck.
Driver escapes major injury
after losing control of loaded
hay truck in canyon near Ingot
INGOT - A trucker, hauling a load
of hay had to be extricated by Montgomery Creek Fire Department personnel Saturday afternoon.
The driver injured his left elbow
along with cuts and bruises in the 2:
50 p.m. crash.
BURNEY – Fire Chief Ray Barber
told his board Wednesday afternoon
that he had received the tax information on the Cassel area. It was not feasible to pursue annexing that area into
the Burney district. There wouldn’t be
enough revenue available to provide
that area with any improvement in the
services they were already getting under the complete volunteer and County
Fire system. Asked later by a member
of the audience whether the board
needed to take a vote, Chair Bob Moore
said no, the board had given the chief
the authority to see if it was feasible.
His determination that it wasn’t, was
all that was needed.
Barber also explained to the board
that his original thought of including the windmills on Hatchet Ridge
that faced the town wasn’t’ practical
because Cal Fire would then have to
cross through the Burney District to
take care of fire calls beyond that. It
was, in his estimation better to leave
the entire windmill project under Cal
Fire’s jurisdiction.
He would talk to County Fire Chief
Rick Kyle and pursue changing the
district’s boundaries , going through
LAFCO to annex Goose Valley and the
Clark Creek Road area. They already
handled the calls in the Goose Valley area and were closer to the Clark
Creek Road area than Cassel.
He was westbound on Highway
299 when he lost control and began
dumping his load in the westbound
lane.
The rig crossed the roadway and
went over the side. The rear end of
his trailer came to rest within inches of the creek.

are beautiful to watch, but not so beautiful when they start lunching in your garden, or crossing the road as you are speeding by.
Van den Bergh ordered to send LAFCO needed data
By Walt Caldwell
Mountain Echo editor
FALL RIVER MILLS
– The board of directors
of the Fall River Valley
Community
Services
District ordered the district’s general manager
to mail all of the information Shasta LAFCO
had requested in an earlier public records request. The order came
during the Wednesday
evening meeting and was
expected to be carried
out Thursday.
After being chastised
by Director Bill Estes for
not following the order
given him during the
March board meeting to
deliver the documents
requested
within
10
days, General Manager
John Van den Bergh was
ordered to mail the documents to LAFCO immediately.
A LAFCO staff member said they had not
received anything from
the CSD as of 9:35 a.m.
Monday.
Chair Bill Johnson
said when he and Director Jensen had met with
the LAFCO executive officer, she had told them
if she got the financial
and other information
she had requested, they
could complete the Municipal Services Review
by the fall.
Van den Bergh, who
wanted LAFCO to pay
for the copies of documents requested, wanted
to know if he should collect the money up front.
Board Chair Bill Johnson said no, that $100 or
$200 shouldn’t stand in
the way of the district’s
ability to make a million and that the district
needed LAFCO to complete the municipal service review so they can
get their Sphere of Influence taken care of and
accomplish the things
they wanted to accomplish.
Regarding the water
mainline replacement,
Van den Bergh reported
that PACE Engineering
is doing the final surveys
on the section between
the airport and Ray’s
Market which will be the
first section replaced.
Van den Bergh reported that the issue of
a secondary well for water was still up in the air
and it didn’t look like the
Knoch family was going
to give the district the
needed easement. The
district had drilled and
put in a well near the
current corner of Dee
Knoch Road and Fall River-Cassel road a number
of years ago, but hadn’t
gotten an easement when
they did it.
Johnson
explained
that the laws now prohibit the use of pesticides
within 100 feet of a potable well. The well is on
ranch land and could seriously curtail growing
crops near it. Additionally, he pointed out, that
the bridge across the Pit
River is scheduled to be
realigned. Water deeded
to the Knoch Ranch is
piped across the Pit from
the Fall River pond under the bridge. It is highly likely that the water
pipe will be moved and
reinstalled under the
bridge that will be in use.
If that is the case, the
Knoch’s will undoubtedly extend the ditch that
the pipe empties into to
meet the new mouth of
the pipe. If that occurs
the ranch will also dump
pesticides into it to keep
the algae down.
Alternatives such as
removing the well, pump
and other equipment or
selling the well off so
someone else could remove it were discussed,
but no action was taken.
Possibly drilling a well
near the golf course’s
well, negotiating with
the McArthur’s regarding that ranch’s well
near the District’s main
well or drilling another
well in the vicinity of
the main well were all
discussed but no final action was taken.
Estes voiced his displeasure at seeing an
invoice for $991.50 from
consultant Jan Lopez
after seeing one for $900
in March. He pointed
out that Quincy Hatch,
when he was the board
chair, had questioned a
bill from her and said
that was the last one.
Van den Bergh said her
contracts called for withholding 10% and paying those monies as she
met the milestones required. They were now
paying her the amounts
withheld. Estes said he
wanted copies of her
contracts.
Considerable
time
was spent going over the
list of priorities set by
the board during their
retreat last month. The
list contained 56 items.
Development of the
Community Park was
added because, as has
been
previously
announced, the district received a $304,000 grant
and the property.
The Municipal Advisory Committee volunteered to host a public
comment forum at their
meeting on March 26,
7 p.m. at the Lions Hall
in McArthur. Updating
plans of the system are
the district’s number one
priority.
Safety
equipment
such as barricades and
cones and a safety harness and lift, required
by OSHA to protect the
district employees were
moved to the top of the
list also. The board deleted a display table
and handouts for an
estimated $3,000 when
it was pointed out that
the board had turned
that request by Van den
Bergh down earlier. An
expense of $6,000 to work
on a grant request for
senior housing was also
removed from the list
because the board had
agreed to support the
concept of senior housing but not to put any
money into it.
The board also declined to spend district
money to join the Fall
River Valley Chamber of
Commerce, pointing out
that the manager could
go to chamber meetings
and make comments
without being a member and that individual
memberships were available. The consensus was
that the board members
present did not feel comfortable spending rate
payer or tax payer money for memberships.

am writing this
column while
sitting very near
the basement in my
son’s house in Nebraska.
I decided to visit during the weekend of a
“severe storm warning”.
There are even tornado
warnings. I wasn’t too
concerned when my
Nebraska friend didn’t
seem concerned. I decided to be a little nervous
when that is all they
are talking about on the
television. I decided that
my son’s house with a
basement is much safer
than my 3rd story hotel
room.
Other than the
weather…it is great to
be here. I got to watch
a spring football scrimmage this morning, cook
for a houseful of boys,
take my son grocery
shopping and weather
permitting we will go
out to dinner tonight.
While I am here,
there are still plenty of
things going on at home.
The board of the
Fall River Cemetery is
seeking donations to
trim the trees of the
cemetery. They have not
been trimmed for over
10 years. The Board has
contacted several tree
trimmers who quoted
prices of $10,000-$5000
to trim the trees. There
is one very civic-minded
trimmer who will only
charge $100 a tree. Money has not been budgeted for this project. The
district would like the
community to know of
this project and would
appreciate any help.

As part of Friday Night Live’s distracted driving
campaign, there will be a fact on distracted driving,
every week. This week’s “Did you know?” fact is:
About 900,000 U.S. teens report they were drivers in
at least one crash, within a 12-month period. That’s
the wrong kind of experience.
If you would like to honor or recognize someone
who has survived or passed due to cancer you can see
Mrs. Madden or the office to purchase a sun or moon,
as part of Megan Lunberry, and Michaela Riley’s senior project, Relay for Life. The suns and moons will
be on display at the school as well as out at the track
during the relay.
Chelle Rodriguez is hosting a blood drive for her
senior project. Please come support her, by signing up in the office. The blood drive will take place
Wednesday, April 18th.
I would like to thank the community members
who came out to help The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation clean up “old dump” on Saturday, April 14.
Thank you!

BURNEY - To help improve conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists
in Burney, the Pit River
Tribe is inviting neighbors and businesses to
share their ideas about
creating a new Bicycle
and Walkway Plan for
Burney during a community workshop and walking tour on April 19-20.

These events and the
new plan will ultimately
help shape the community’s bicycle lanes and
paths to provide safer
routes to schools and
better access to downtown, services and trails
throughout Burney. You
can help define future
street and pathway improvements, and identify
next steps and strategies
for implementing highpriority projects.
“Community participation is vital, and all
Burney residents are
encouraged to attend,”
said Charles White, tribal administrator for the
Pit River Tribe. “This is
an opportunity to have
a direct role in creating
a safe, healthy and more
accessible Burney.”

arilyn Monroe may have popularized the
phrase, “Diamonds are a girl’s best
friend,” but for high school girls playing
softball the diamonds don’t sparkle and shine, but
are the venue where the players sparkle and shine,
and a trio of local pitchers are offering some shining moments of their own this spring.
For Mandy Lakey, Dante Bertain and Amanda
Bricker, pitching is their forte - hurling drop balls,
fast balls and curves to batters in northern

California, and being labeled the ‘Aces’ of their
respective teams. One is a senior wrapping up her
high school career this spring, while the other two
are freshmen with their four year careers just getting underway. However, you don’t want to jump to
the conclusion that the senior hurler has more experience, the younger two have been active in
American Softball Association (ASA) ball, and
all three have tutored under the direction of the
same university pitching coach.
Lakey is the veteran of the three, in her fourth
and final year pitching for the Fall River Bulldogs,
while Bertain is the Burney Raider young star and
Bricker of Big Valley looking strong in her first
year of hurling softball for the Cardinals.
All three are ardent softball players who have and will - thrill their fans during the annual spring
rite of softball.
Softball is their game!
The trio has compiled an early season record of
20 wins while tagged with 11 losses. Not bad considering all three are pitching with young teams playing behind them.
Lakey is the strikeout queen among them with 95
whiffs in amassing a 7-5 record. Bertain is close
behind with 75 strikeouts and a 6-3 mark. Bricker is
also at 6 wins and three losses - pitching every game
for her Cardinals.
Veteran hurler Lakey got a late start in playing
softball, as she didn’t get interested until fifth
grade.
“I didn’t play T-ball or coach pitch, and wasn’t
too interested in playing little league,” she says,
“then one day at lunch Hardy Vestal sat down with
me and talked me into joining little league.”
Ironically, Vestal was later her coach in high school
for her first three seasons.
Both Bertain and Bricker began at a younger
age, both playing T-ball when they were just old
enough to pick up a ball and bat, and small enough
to have a tough time finding a batting helmet to fit.
All three girls have (or will) play ASA ball.
Bertain started in ASA when she was 10-years old,
first for the Redding Rebels then the North Valley
Rapids. During that stint each of her two teams
won their championship games and she was on the
district championship minor girls All-Star team.
Lakey has played three years of ASA ball, “and I
was nervous at first,” she quipped, “but I met a lot
of new people and made friends that I still have
today.”
Meanwhile, Bricker will get her first shot at ASA
style softball when she joins the North Valley
Rapids this summer.
With three different girls, you get three different
answers when it comes to their most memorable

Burney Raider freshman Dante Bertain
“My hero would be my dad. He is my softball coach and my coach in life.
He deals with my craziness and loves me through it all.”
Dante Bertain, freshman at Burney High School.
Wayne Stower, head softball coach of the
Simpson University Red Hawks in Redding is
credited by all three local
softball pitchers with honing their skills. At one time
or another he has coached
Mandy Lakey, Amanda
Bricker and Dante Bertain,
and all three give him a
world of credit for their
pitching prowess.
So just who is Wayne
Stower?
WAYNE
According to his biograSTOWER
phy on the school’s website,
Stower began coaching at Simpson at the beginning of their softball program in 2008. Prior to
his current stint at Simpson, Stower was the
coach for seven seasons at Foothill high school
in Palo Cedro, where he led the Lady Cougars to
seven straight section tournaments and won
the NSCIF title in 2007.

THE DIAMOND TRIO___________________________________
Continued from B-1
Bricker’s
moment
she’ll remember for a
long time came when
she struck out her first
high school batter.
“That was a thrill,”
she noted. When asked
if she was intimidated
by being so young and
facing much older girls
at bat, she quickly
replied, “not really.”
Bertain goes back to
her ASA days for most
memorable
softball
moment.
“Two years ago we
were in the Grants Pass
tournament, and had
won all our games and
made it to the championship game,” she said
in an e-mail interview,
“There was only onerun separating us, two
outs, bases loaded and
League

League

League
the tying run at third. I
had pitched the whole
game, and the ball was
hit to my shortstop and
she quickly threw it to
first. It was a close call,
but we got the out and
the championship.”
For Lakey, her most
unforgettable moment
in softball, “came when
I hit a walk-off home
run in a tournament at
Big League Dreams and
put us in the championship game my freshman year.”
She continued to note
that watching Leah
Imhoff blast her first
home run earlier this
year, “was also a great
memory. What a shot it
was.”
Lakey has but a few
more games left to garner memories, but for
Bricker and Bertain,
they both hope and plan
to have many great
memories in the next
three years.
Lakey got her start in
softball
with
a
lunchtime talk with
Hardy Vestal. However,
she also gives credit to
her dad, Tim, who
played catcher for her
during practices at
home. Many times in
bad weather they moved
practice indoors at his
shop.
“Let’s say I started off
throwing about one-inten pitches TO him, and
broke a few things in his
shop,” before getting the
knack down pat.
Bricker got interested in the game with help
from her big sister,
Cheyenne.
Cheyenne
was the star hurler for
the Cardinals for four
years, before passing the
ball to li’l sis Amanda
when she graduated this
past June.
As Big Valley coach
Shari Blatt-Nelson put it
in talking about the two
red-headed siblings, “I
went from having ‘Big
Red’ in the lineup with
Cheyenne, to ‘Li’l Red’
in Amanda. What more
could you ask.”
Bertain’s interest in
the sport came from
watching her Aunt K.C.
“She (her aunt KC)
was playing softball as I
was growing up and my
parents often took me to
her games and practices.” She also gives
credit to her grandfather, “for being a fearless supporter throughout my career.”
All three girls also
play a couple of other
sports in high school namely volleyball and
basketball.
Lakey was named the
MVP of the ShastaCascade League in volleyball this year and has
more awards for athletics than you can shake a
bat.
As for other hobbies,
Lakey enjoys travelling
being with her friends
and family and swimming.
Bertain also
enjoys relaxing with
family and friends and
is an avid reader.
Younger players may
watch Lakey pitch and
dream of one day being
in the circle and accomplishing great things.
It’s hero worship. So
who are the ‘hero’s’ to
these three hurlers?
For Lakey, it was a
hard choice to make.
“I have so many people in my family that
have influenced me in so
many great ways help-
ing shape who I am
today,” she stated.
“But, my hero would
have to be my brother,
Nick. He has always
been the best brother
anyone could ask for,
always being there for
me. I really admire the
way that he does his
own thing, no matter
what. he is definitely
his own person.”
Brother Nick preceded Mandy at Fall River
high as a 3-letter athlete,
and is now in his third
season of playing football
for
MidlandLutheran college in
Nebraska.
For Bertain, the hero
answer was easy, “My
dad.”
She elaborated, “He
(Anthony) is my softball
coach and my coach in
life. He deals with my
craziness and loves me
through it all. I know he
will always be my number one supporter and
toughest critic. He has
an unselfish attitude
towards the girls he
coaches and the people
he is surrounded by
everyday, and the level
headedness he brings to
coaching and his professional life is something I
hope to achieve someday.”
Bricker was caught
short by the question,
and shyly said she didn’t
have any real ‘Hero.’
You can probably bet the
farm, however, that big
sister Cheyenne would
be somewhere high on
her list.
The three all maybe
good hurlers due to the
coaching of
Wayne
Stower, but they are
three totally different
individuals.
THE COACH WHO GETS CREDIT____________
Continued from B-1
SOFTBALL
Shasta-Cascade
League
Stower began his
baseball
career
at
Shasta College in 1975,
and completed his first
season of minor league
baseball with the White
Sox organization out of
Edmonton,
Canada.
After two seasons of
minor league ball, he
moved back to Red Bluff,
and continued his fast
pitch career.
He competed at the
highest levels of men’s
fast pitch softball for
over 20 years, and garnered
All-American
honors three times.
Stower began coaching American Softball
Association (ASA) girls
softball in 1995, taking
seven teams to the elite
national championship
tournament and finishing as high as 8th.
The pitching coach
has not been a stranger
to the Intermountain
Area, conducting clinics
in the area over the
years.
He has also
coached all three girls
featured in this week’s
top story - Mandy Lakey,
Amanda Bricker and
Dante Bertain.
Stower has been married to his wife Kathie
for 28 years and has two
children, Manny and TJ.
And students, coaches and teachers are back
to the daily grind as we quickly head into the end
of the school year. Amazing how time flies - even
if we aren’t particularly having fun.
We have a slow week in spring sports for the
teams to get back into the swing of things this
week.
The cancellation of the Burney Spring Classic
is a bummer, and hopefully things will be ready
for next year’s Classic - as it offers the only local
venue for local track and field athletes to strut
their stuff before a local fan base. It will be
missed.
The Fall River Bulldogs’ baseball squad is
heading to Etna today (Tuesday) for perhaps the
biggest showdown of the year in Shasta-Cascade
League play. Etna is at 4-0 in conference battles,
while Fall River is nipping at their heels with a 3-1
mark. The pressure is on both teams, and we
wish our local guys good luck.
The Burney Raiders softball and baseball
teams will have only their second home games of
the year this Friday - and it will be their last of the
season to be played at the base of Burney
Mountain.
The Raider baseball team dropped out of the
Tulelake Tournament, and had games with Fall
River and Big Valley, set for earlier this season,
cancelled... leaving them to finish the year with a
mere 11 games completed. Coach Tony
Pellegrino fielded a very young team this year,
and when they come back next season they’ll still
be young, and because of this year’s schedule a very inexperienced team.
Getting the newly indoctrinated private transportation plan instigated has been a confusing situation for Raiders baseball, and hopefully by next
year everyone will have figured out how to
accommodate the team and their travels. It’s
going to be even tougher come fall when football
has to figure out how to transport a much larger
group of players to away games on Friday afternoons. I would be so forward as to lamely suggest the Raiders and Bulldogs might want to find
a volunteer (or volunteers) to head up their football transportation program ahead of their first
road games. It’s going to take a large convoy to
fit such a large group of players with a ton of
equipment baggage into private cars for out-oftown trips. I suggest we all start the planning
stages early, as it wouldn’t be a great idea to
have a Chinese Fire Drill situation come late
August. Young athletes should be concentrating
on game plays, not how they’re going to get to
the game.
AND ON THE OTHER HAND...
• A thank you to Bob Jen for pointing out my
blunder bust in last week’s column. I referred to
an ‘umbrella’ as a ‘bumper shoot’ when in reality
the correct term is bumbershoot. Yeah, I have
Wikapedia, but just forget to use it - my bad.
According to Wikapedia, an alternative format
is: Bumberchute.
Also according to Wikapedia, the Etymology:
Apparently a variation on umbrella and parachute.
American in origin, it has become associated with
British umbrella’s, but has never been a Briticism.
Okay, so I sound like that guy at the National
Spelling Bee - Shoot me with your Bumbershoot.
File all this information under, “What you never
wanted to know and were too afraid to ask.”
• Major League baseball is underway, along
with NBA games being played. Here we go with
those overlapping seasons again. Frankly I could
care less about the NBA, but do somewhat enjoy
their farm system (ie: college NCAA basketball).
However, I am always intrigued by baseball.
However, I really wish they’d end the season a little bit earlier, so fans wouldn’t have to sit through
snowflakes to watch game seven. Whatever happened to playing the World Series in EARLY
October, rather than have it interfere with our
national election in early November?

Burney Spring Classic
cancelled for 2012
BURNEY - The annual
Burney
Spring
Classic track and field
meet originally scheduled for this Friday has
been cancelled.
Jed Tate, first year
Burney Jr/Sr High athletic director announced the cancellation last
week.
“I just wasn’t able to
get everything together
in time,” he said in a
phone
interview
Sunday, “If we went
ahead with the meet it
would probably rain,
and I knew if I cancelled
it the day would probably be sunny - go figure.”
It marks the second
year in a row the meet
has been cancelled.
“Hopefully we’ll have
it next year,” Tate noted
with hope.

SHASTA LAKE When you have a track
meet toward the end of
Spring Break, you can
just about imagine what
kind of participation or lack of participation you might find.
For
Burney,
Big
Valley and Fall River
track teams, the numbers were less than
you’d find at a meet not
held during the annual
Easter break.
Big
Valley had the largest
local contingent running,
jumping
and
throwing, while Fall
River saw lower than
normal participation,
and Burney mustered
just six - all junior varsity team members.
BIg Valley Cardinal
varsity girls team took
seventh out of the 26
teams
participating,
thanks to junior Magen
Fairchild's second, third
and fourth place finishes in running events.
Fairchild was second in
the 300m hurdles in a
time of 40.87, just shy of
winner Caitlin McCoy
of Corning’s time of
40.53. She finished third
in the 400m race in a
time of 65.83 and fourth
in the 100m hurdles at
17.96.
Marco Escareno, a
sophomore at Big Valley,
took third in the JV
boys shot put.
For
Fall
River,
Shayann Dowty’s seventh place finish in the
long jump (11-10.00) and
Brennan Gilligan’s seventh place finish in the
200m (24.45) topped the
Bulldogs showing for
the day - both in JV competition. Baylie Peters
was ninth in the 100m
(14.87) and was first in
her heat. Gilligan also
had a 10th place finish
in the 110m hurdles
(20.93) after tripping
over the final hurdle
and summersaulting his
way over the finish line
in the crowd pleaser of
the day.
Burney JV Andrew
Masters won fourth in
the 200m race in a time
of 24.30, while Lena
Daugherty was 8th in
the girls 300m (70.48).
Burney and Fall
River track teams are
idle this week, while Big
Valley
is
at
the
Chiloquin, Oregon meet
Tuesday (today) and at
West Valley Friday.
Bulldog baseball shoots down
Honkers in twin bill sweep
McARTHUR - Great
pitching and hot bats
propelled the Fall River
Bulldogs to a 11-1 and 152 sweep of visiting
Tulelake
here
last
Tuesday.
A trio of Bulldog
hurlers
held
the
Honkers to just two hits
total in the two games,
while Fall River rattled
off seven doubles in the
nightcap blitz.
In the opener, Klay
Worthan
took
the
mound and came away
with the win, giving up
one hit, fanning eight
and walking four.
The big blast on
offense came in the bottom of the fifth, when
David Putallaz stepped
to the plate as a pinch
hitter and blasted a double to score two and
abruptly end the game
on the 10-run mercy
rule.
Worthan helped out
on offense with a 3-for-4
game, with three RBI’s
and one run scored.
Austin Reynolds was 2for-4 with a triple and
scored twice, while Brad
Williams was 1-for-3
with a pair of runs-batted-in.
Jesse Lee
matched Putallaz with a
double of his own, while
Clay Pasqual and Ryan
Doers each added a single. Doers also walked
twice and scored twice.
In the nightcap, Fall
River
out
gunned
Tulelake, 12-1, on their
way to the lopsided 15-2
win.
Sterling Humphry,
Worthan and Williams
each blasted two doubles, with Clay Pasqual
nabbing one 2-base hit.
Doers smacked a pair of
singles, while Christian
Mejia
and
Ismael
Velasquez each added a
single.
Jesse Lee picked up
the 1-hit victory, striking out nine and walking only one. Humphry
came in to hurl the last
inning, striking out two
of the three batters he
faced.
In talking about the
first game, coach Leo
Estes noted the clutch
pinch-hit double by
Putallaz, “a good kid
who’s playing his first
year of baseball since
coach-pitch in little
league.”
“I thought in the first
game Tulelake played us
tough the first few
innings,” summed up
Estes, “then our bats got
going, and continued to
stay hot in the second
game.”
Fall River, now 3-1 in
SCL play and 9-5 overall
travel to Etna (4-0, 13-3)
for a big showdown
game that puts the
league lead on the line.
“Our pitchers have
had seven days rest,”
noted Estes, “while Etna
just finished four games
in a tournament. If we
get good defense behind
our pitching we should
be in good shape for the
day.”
