Jean Bilodeaux photo Minor injuries in Cedar Pass mishap Minor injuries resulted from an accident Dec. 14, 11:05 a.m. on State Route 299, east of Cedar Pass. The California Highway Patrol reports that Donna Drew, age 74, Fort Bidwell, was westbound in a 2000 Chevy in a sudden snowstorm. Road conditions were very icy and the vehicle lost traction, slid off the north side of the road and overturned onto its side. According to Reporter Jean Bilodeaux -- who happened on the accident soon after it occurred -- passersby, including her, stopped to help the Drews. “We couldn’t get the door open so eventually I rammed a crutch in the small opening when John (Edward Drew, 75, passenger in the Chevy) jerked the door open for a second,” Bilodeaux said. “Of course, this is on a blind curve both ways, with no cell reception. Anyway, a lady stopped and said she’d call for help from the top of the pass. Another man stopped and I backed my truck against the bottom of the rolled truck and we lowered John down to the bed of the truck and onto the ground. UPS’s Ernie Givan, then BLM, USFS, passersby, and the CHP all tried to get Donna out but she had to wait until the Cedarville Fire Department showed up and broke out the windshield.” Both Drews were transported to Surprise Valley Medical Center with minor injuries. Clarification on trapper funding Last week, we printed that the county funds for the trapper program amounted to $94,000 annually. What should be clarified is that is funding for two separate trappers who operate in Modoc County. In addition, the State of California is no longer involved in the trapper program. The funds come predominately from the county with some funds from the federal government. The wages for the trapper have also been frozen at current levels by both the county and the federal government. SR299 East gets a much needed facelift By Jean Bilodeaux Special to the Record State Highway 299 east of Cedarville to the Nevada line has been slowly deteriorating in the last few years. In the last couple of months, with increased and heavy pipeline traffic it has almost been destroyed. “At first it was just hundreds of pot holes and you could dodge most of them if there was no oncoming traffic. Now it’s dangerous to drive out there. The road shoulder is crumbling, there are too many holes to dodge, the highway is narrowed, and some holes go clear across the highway,” said District 1 Supervisor elect Dave Allan, who drives the road to town. As the pot holes increase in number and size Cal Trans crews fill them almost weekly. Then the holes see SR 299, page 5 There were minor injuries in a single-vehicle accident Dec. 12, 7:40 a.m. on U.S. 395 north of Sage Hen. According to the California Highway Patrol, Judy Miguel, 70, Alturas, was southbound in a 1994 Ford Thunderbird at about 60 m.p.h. in a left curve. She accelerated slightly coming out of the curve and the vehicle lost traction on the slippery road. The car slid off the highway and overturned, resulting in minor injuries to the driver and a passenger, Lauri Sprinkle, age 52, Alturas. No injuries were reported in an accident Dec. 3, 12:50 p.m. on SR299 west of Thomas Creek Drive. The CHP reports that Javier Francisco, 66, Merrill, Or. had stopped his 2000 Chevy on the right shoulder. Rex Northrup, age 52, was plowing the right shoulder area directly behind Francisco. Northrup failed to observe the vehicle stopped and backed into the rear of the Chevy. The were no injuries in another weather-related accident Dec. 14, 6 p.m. on SR299, .8 miles west of CR150. The CHP reports that Dennis Richardson, 58, Alturas, was eastbound in a 1988 Ford Ranger at about 45 m.p.h. when he lost control of the vehicle on the snow and ice. The Ford traveled off the road and the front end struck a barbed wire fence. The pickup came to rest on its wheels and neither occupant was hurt. The pickup had minor front-end damage. Modoc Medical Center showed a profit of $85,000 for the month of October, the last available monthly totals. Monica Derner, MMC Chief Executive Officer, reported that figure to the Modoc County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning. She explained that revenue was up $292,000 for the month. In addition, she pointed out that the Clinic was up $230,000. Dr. Chuck Colas started Oct. 4. Med/Surgical was up $65,000 while the Skilled Nursing Facility was up $27,000, now sitting with 43 residents. The pharmacy was up $27,000 and ER up $12,000. The following departments showed a decrease of the following individual amounts: ambulance $30,000; lab $12,000; and Radiology $14,000. One of the sticking issues is the days out for accounts receivable, which are now at 95 days. Derner said an aggressive plan is in the works to trim that down to 65 days. The Board also agreed to bring back the issue of the California Health Facilities Financing Authority $750,000 loan for the hospital at a meeting next week. The loan was initially approved for Modoc Medical Center, but was placed on hold until Modoc voters approved the hospital district the last of August. The district is currently in the transition stages from being a county-owned facility to a district hospital. The District Board has targeted April 1 to get the transition complete. According to Derner, the loan will provide some breathing room for the facility during the overall transition. The loan shall not exceed $750,000 and carries an interest rate of three percent. Derner said the loan has a two-year term, and the district expects to have it paid by June 30, 2012. Severe weather warning in area The National Weather Service has issued a heavy precipitation warning for northern California from Friday through the middle of next week. The main concern is the possibility of flooding if the area is hit with rain at the highest elevations, which would melt a fairly healthy snowpack. For instance Dismal Swamp now has 41 inches of snow and Cedar Pass see Weather, page 3 If that address says Grandma, Cedarville it’ll get to that Grandma in Cedarville By Jean Bilodeaux Special to the Record A letter comes into the Cedarville Post Office addressed to Grandma and Grandpa 96104. Most postmasters would stamp it “undeliverable” or “return to sender” and toss it in the outgoing mailbag. Margaret “Marge” Conklin, Cedarville Postmaster, studies the postal mark a moment and slips it in the correct postal box. With 56 years of experience working at the same location Conklin knows everyone, their children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. She knows where they’ve moved and what they’re doing. She knows who grandma and grandpa are to everyone. Even the UPS and FedEx drivers stop by and ask where certain hard to locate people live, even if they live in Nevada. MARGE CONKLIN separates the packages in Cedarville. The Cedarville Post post office for residents of Office also has the dis- Vya, Nev. Vya and its surtinction of being the rounding locale has resi- dents but no post office or zip code. People who live in northwestern Nevada receive their mail addressed to Vya, Nev.-Cedarville, Calif. 96104. Sometimes it can be confusing to huge shippers to send packages to a town in Nevada which is on the maps, but isn’t listed officially as a town and that uses a town in California to get its mail. But Conklin knows and they all get their mail Conklin receives gifts from her grateful customers throughout the year: fruit, vegetables and flowers in the summer and candy and cookies in the winter. “We bring Marge fresh heirloom tomatoes in the summer. She does a wonderful job, but we must always keep on her good see Marge, page 4 Page 2-Modoc County Record December 16, 2010 Local support. . . Okay, as of today, we all have nine days to shop for Christmas presents, and in doing so, support local businesses who have supported the community all year long. I know we keep pushing the shop at home first plan, but really it is vitally important for the community. First off, a portion of the sales tax comes back to local government and that helps all of us. I mean, I know you can shop in Klamath Falls or Reno, but how many of those businesses do you see on the sponsorship banners of local events – you know high school, middle school, little league and so on. Secondly, the local businesses employ a lot of your friends and neighbors. And that’s seriously important. In addition, shopping here supports the local business people and a community without quality businesses looks like a sad, sad place. We have quality businesses in Modoc that add a lot to the overall community’s personality. We really don’t want to lose any more businesses. We all know you can’t get everything here, but at least give the local businesses a chance before you head out of town. Judging by my discussions with FedEx and UPS drivers, a lot of people are using Internet shopping this year, with about a 25 to 30 percent increase in volume (unofficial estimate). One thing I do know is that it’s keeping those drivers running. Give them a cookie when they show up, they might need some more energy. I know using the Internet is pretty simple, but you miss that person-to-person shopping experience. And besides, you can’t reach out and touch what you’re buying until it arrives. Sometimes the surprise is just too much to handle. Both Supervisors Dan Macsay of Surprise Valley, and Dave Bradshaw of Big Valley, are leaving office at the end of the month. They’re being replaced by Dave Allan and Geri Byrne, who will have their hands full from the time the gate opens. Overall, I can say that both the departing Supervisors have done what they felt was in the best interests of the County while taking on a pretty thankless job. Both have done things we didn’t agree with, but they’ve also made some tough decisions in tough times. Keeping Modoc Medial Center open, while getting the county into some financial trouble, was still the right thing to do. We can work our way out of that, well better than we could work our way out of a closed hospital. They sat on the Board of Supervisors for eight years each, and that’s a long time of listening to the public, or us, question some of their decisions. It’s not easy to stay focused or not have an inner Marine take over in some cases. But, we have respect for both Bradshaw and Macsay and wish them peace of mind as they get on with their lives.

Internet: www.modocrecord.com E-mail: [email protected] Proud members of: California Press Association What a sad happening Dear Editor: Jean Bilodeaux’s special to the Modoc County Record about the closure of the longest, continually operating mine in the U.S. makes me wonder if the shutdown is due to environmental regulations more than for economic reasons. The spring 2009 issue of Range Magazine has an eye-opening article by Mike Cade about resource users in Mexico and how Nature Conservancy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the World Wildlife Fund were instrumental in denying the Mexican people the use of their resources to eke out a meager living. One of these resources happened to be a gypsum mine that had operated for many years. The concern was that an endemic microorganism might be harmed during the course of extraction. I fail to understand the goal of environmentalists who want to destroy people’s lives and make us wards of the state. I hope more people wake up to what’s been happening and take a stand against these agencies and groups that want to tear this country down and take away our ability to make a living. Thank you, -- Vaudine Cullins Alturas When will we learn? Dear Editor: In the end more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free. -Edward Gibbon (17371794) What will it take for us to learn the lessons of the past? -- Paul Breshears Alturas Nutcracker was great Dear Editor: It has been a few years between grandchildren, but last night I was once again awed and inspired by the talent of the Alturas Elementary School fourth and fifth graders. Their performance of the Nutcracker, under the direction of Karen Siegel, was amazing. I realize that numerous individuals were assisting in the background and the costumes designed by Mrs. Jones were awesome. But, the greatest praise goes to the dedication of Mrs. Siegel and the children. These children have been practicing for this play since September and their hard work and dedication definitely showed. My grandson, Wyatt, was a superb baker! Bravo to all who performed, both on stage and behind the scenes. -- Chris Porter Alturas Nutcracker had lots of help Dear Editor: I would like to thank the following people who helped make the AES Fourth and Fifth Grade production of “The Nutcracker” a huge success. To Noelle Jones, your costume vision always amazes me and I highly respect you. To Larry and Kathy Brown and Sage Stage, thank you for the use of your buildings for our dressing rooms. To Kevin Haggard, the Niles Manager, thanks for everything!

Karen Siegel Music Director Alturas Elementary School Guest comment-State could put public safety at serious risk As Sheriff of Modoc County and on behalf of hundreds if not thousands or more law enforcement jobs statewide, I am writing today to express my significant concern regarding the pending June 30, 2011 expiration of the 0.15% vehicle license fee (VLF) from the February 2009 budget agreement. This is a funding source for virtually all-local law enforcement services. The budget “framework” agreement that was announced recently is glaringly blank on the issue of re-authorization of the VLF. The law enforcement community has stressed the importance of this issue for many months and there is still no recognizable forward progress on the vital public safety funding matter. Please understand that hundreds if not a thousand or more law enforcement jobs are at risk and in all likelihood will cease to exist without the extension of the VLF funds. Without this funding in our county, I will have to cut 6 (six) positions. Calculating the average cost with benefits per Deputy the loss of this funding will devastate my staff, which is already down 25%. What this equates to is an additional cut of 46% to Patrol Staff for the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office. That leaves three (3) dedicated Patrol Deputy Sheriff’s spread over 4,200 square miles to protect the good citizens of Modoc County 24/7/365 it simply cannot be done. I am aware of thinking that points to the fact that since the VLF does not expire until June 30, 2011, it is not an issue for this budget. This funding pays for law enforcement jobs, many of which will cease to exist long before a budget agreement is ever reached in 2011-12. There is no indication to believe that extension of VLF can be accomplished next year, this must be addressed and reconciled through urgency legislation. As the chief law enforcement officer of Modoc County, I recognize the difficult politics of making a temporary revenue source permanent; however, law enforcement must have VLF in order to function statewide. On November 17th, 2010, the presidents and executive staff of the major statewide law enforcement associations met to discuss strategy to maintain law enforcement funding via the VLF. As a result of that discussion, we will collectively be pursuing urgency legislation to be introduced on December 6, 2010 that removes the June 30, 2011 sunset on that funding. This is a bipartisan measure co-authored by Wesley Chesbro (D) Assembly District 1, Phone/Fax 916319-2001 and Jim Nielsen (R) Assembly District 2, Phone 916-319-2002 Fax 916-319-2102. Assemblyman Nielsen withdrew as a sponsor/author of this legislation during the first week of December. Although most representatives in the Senate and Assembly will state that they support law enforcement, this is a very political topic in Sacramento. I ask that you give my request your most serious and thoughtful consideration. Thank you and please write, call or otherwise contact your elected officials State, County and City including your Assembly and Senate Representatives and voice your support for this measure.

December 16, 2010 - Modoc County Record - Page 3 Weather from front page has 24 inches. Modoc National Forest Soil Scientist Sue Goheen said she is concerned about the upcoming storms and the impact they could have in this area. She worries the impacts could be as severe as the flooding in 1996 and wanted residents to be aware of that possibility. The heavy precipitation is expected from Friday through next Wednesday, with the major areas affected being the southern Cascade mountains in northern and central California, the central Sierras and in far western Nevada. The actual locations of heavy rain or snow is uncertain at this time, but the forecast for Modoc calls for rain or snow from Friday through most of next week. According to the NWS, heavy precipitation is almost certain, snow levels could be as high a 7,500 to 9,000 feet, especially on Saturday and early next week, soils are saturated and significant snowpack exists above the 5,000-foot level. The higher snow levels could result in more serious flooding. TED GAINES KEN COOLEY State Senate race scheduled Jan. 4 There is a special General Election set January 4, 2011 to choose a new State Senator for District 1. The election is to fill the seat of Senator David Cox, who died last year. The top two candidates in the primary, Democrat Ken Cooley and Republican Ted Gaines are on the ballot. Cooley, is a moderate and Mayor of Rancho Cordova. Gaines is a conservative business owner. Cooley states: I know this election is about jobs. Still, I see a more fundamental need. California needs what we’ve lost -- a Legislature known for problem-solving instead of personal attacks. As your Senator, I’ll work on jobs. But job creation will lag, and families will suffer, until our Legislature regains a reputation for productive work, including ontime State Budgets. I pledge myself to work daily on jobs and restoring the Legislature’s honor. Here’s what I bring to the task: I’m known statewide. Between 2004 and 2009, city officials from Modoc to Sacramento County helped me become the number two officer for California’s League of Cities. I’m also a respected voice in the Capitol. In 2007 the Governor appointed me with Senate confirmation as Seismic Commissioner for California’s cities. My home and work have made conservative financial principles a lifetime habit. This common sense way for my Church bookkeeper wife and I to manage our home was refined, along with my finance analysis skills, during 18 years as Counsel to State Farm Insurance, one of America’s most conservative financial institutions. Finally, I know that when government honors its trust, everyone gains. Rancho Cordova, which has balanced every budget, with yearly surpluses, last year earned a higher credit rating, despite the recession! Gaines states: As a businessman, I am running for the State Senate because I am disgusted with how the taxpayers are treated by the liberals who control the State legislature. This campaign is about who the voters can trust to always stand firm on the issue of taxes and spending. State government is too big and too expensive and higher taxes only make the problem worse. Compromising with the forces of big government is not the answer to the state’s budget problems. Happy Holidays! We will close at 5PM on Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24th and be closed on Christmas Day, Saturday, December 25th. We will re-open Sunday, December 26th. Have a happy and safe holiday season!

Overhearing the conversation in front of the post office, another individual adds, “She does know everything, but she never tells anything. She keeps good secrets.” Conklin was born in Alturas, raised in Canby and graduated from Surprise Valley High School in 1954. In 1958, she started working part time at the Cedarville Post Office, which was located in the small building to the south of its current location. The place had no phone. In 1972, she became Postmaster and the Post Office had moved to its present facility. Conklin has seen dramatic fluctuations in the area’s population. During the operation of the Hog Ranch Gold mine in the 1980s and 90s more boxes were added in the lobby to handle the increase in customers. Each spring some locals order their chicks to be delivered to the post office. Once in awhile the chicks get loose, and Marge dutifully herds little balls of yellow fluff around the post office until they are safely back in a box. Of course, the chicks are thirsty so she gives them a drink before calling the addressee to come and get them. “We get bees too, but thank goodness they stay in their boxes.” “We have two customers who almost daily ship internationally. It’s been interesting to learn how to address and ship to places most people, including me, have never even heard of,” said Conklin. If a small child comes in, stands on tippy-toe to see over the counter and asks for Granny’s mail, Conklin knows whose mail to give. “Sometimes Granny is just sitting in her car outside, but if the child is the responsible type, I’ll let them have the mail to take home,” said Conklin.

Each December, Conklin adds another aspect to her already varied job description, she becomes Santa’s helper. More than 500 packages come through the cramped post office in December as the month progresses and many people only pick up their mail once a week, the boxes and gifts are stacked higher and Stewardship Committee meets Jan. 13 in Cedarville Varied public land natural resource topics will be on the agenda when the Modoc-Washoe Experimental Stewardship Steering Committee meets Thursday, Jan 13, at 9a.m., at the Bureau of Land Management Surprise Field Office, 602 Cressler St. in Cedarville. The meeting is open to the public. The committee will discuss the effects of the Ruby Pipeline project on livestock grazing permittees, consider funding opportunities, hear a presentation on the use of Facebook, and hear a report on the Nevada Cowhead grazing allotment. Technical review teams will report on grazing fee credit, and work in the Emerson/Cottonwood and Bare areas. Committee members will consider a proposal for technical review team work in the Tuledad and Home Camp grazing allotments. The committee will hear an update on wild horse management at Sand Creek and in the Painted Point area. Members will also hear updates from the BLM, Modoc National Forest and other member agencies. The steering committee advises the BLM’s Surprise Field Office and the Modoc National Forest’s Warner Mountain Ranger District on natural resource issues and livestock grazing management on public lands. One of three such committees established by Congress, the group works on a full consensus basis to promote innovative range management approaches and provide incentives for excellence. Members represent broad interests, including livestock grazing permit holders, California and Nevada state wildlife agencies, the BLM, Forest Service, resource conservation districts, timber interests, environmental groups, sporting groups and local government. There is a Christmas bag full of good reasons to shop at home first for the holidays this year. Just the major convenience of hopping in your car and driving five minutes versus several hours, and being able to park right in front or within a block of the business is a pretty big advantage. Secondly, local businesses are here for you every day and are invested in the community, they care and they employ many of your family, friends and neighbors. Actually, they are the driving force behind the local economy and employment. Easy On The E nvironment And Easy For You !

If a package or two come in in pieces Conklin knows who’s ordered what and can generally piece together orders and get it delivered to the correct person. “I don’t return packages,” laughs Conklin. Several years ago, with 49 years of service, she was honored by the USPS as number five in the top ten postmasters west of the Mississippi. She almost never takes a sick day. “I use my sick leave sparingly because I never know if something like an accident or illness might happen. I might need to use lots of days off; and as the sole provider in my family, I’d still need a paycheck,” explains Conklin. Conklin’s husband Gilbert died two years ago. For 56 years, Conklin has assured her customers of prompt and courteous service, and been Santa’s helper to several generations of people in Cedarville. “Marge is very devoted to the post office, but she is an accomplished pianist too. As a community, she has spoiled us. She’s special,” said another satisfied customer. “It’s normal for Marge to be special,” sums up lifelong resident Louie Arreche.

It was not in good shape before, but now with the pipe trucks, oversized loads that weigh more than the pipes, and the heavy equipment, it is dangerous,” said Shad Rose, Main Superintendent for Cal Trans. Rose explained that no one really complained enough to get the road fixed earlier and with the economy not the best, that that section of 299 became a “forgotten road.” “This is definitely not a good time of year to repair a road, but we got a director’s order for emergency repair. We don’t want anyone hurt on that road,” said Rose. He explained that this section of road was never built to carry the amount of weight it has been subjected to in the last few months. “It was bad at the start, now it’s worse. We had to pick the worst of the worst to repair. There’s not enough money to fix it,” said Rose. Eagle Peak got the contract and is doing a 4-inch dig using an asphalt grinder. The hot mix will provide better compaction and should last up to three times longer. “It’s a Band-Aid, but it’s a high dollar Band-Aid,” adds Rose. The project is costing $500,000 and should be completed in two weeks. Traffic controls are in effect and delays of 15 to 30 minutes are to be expected from before dawn to after dark. “I sat in my truck for a half hour waiting to be let through. It was incredible to see the traffic backed up for miles. Since it was dark I could see solid headlights across the flat, up the mountainside and into Nevada,” said one local. Ruby pipeline officials stated the road was bad when Jean Marie Berlinghoff, age 15, of Redding, who was reported missing in early November has been reunited with her family. Berlinghoff was with her uncle Charles Berlinghoff, a white male. He was arrested when they were discovered in San Francisco this week and the girl was returned home. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children assisted in providing a consultant to work closely in Redding with the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office staff assigned to this case.

Rose agrees that the road was bad, but insists that the heavy pipeline traffic hastened the total destruction by several years. Coincidently, a paving project under consideration for several years was given the go ahead. The project will start at the four-way stop in Cedarville and will extend two miles east, butting up to the current patching project. Animal control now out into county Thanks to a cooperative effort between the Alturas City Police and Modoc Sheriff’s Office, there is now animal control services in the county. Sheriff Mike Poindexter has hired City of Alturas animal control officer Sean Esola as half-time extra help as the county’s animal control officer. He works halftime as the City’s animal control officer. He started patrolling in the county last week. Poindexter said the agreement works out well for the county as well as the city. The county had not had a designated animal control officer. Both departments will use the City’s animal pound. County dogs are required to be licensed and meet rabies and health requirements. Dogs within the city have had to be licensed for decades. Poindexter believes the new arrangement will save both time and money as the animal control officer can respond, instead of sending a deputy to handle all those calls. The APD oversees the animal control officer in town. Poindexter said the primary concern in the county is public service and taking care of those dog issues. County residents should call the Sheriff’s Office at 233-4416 to report problem animals and City residents should call the APD at 233-2011. 703 W. 3rd Street Alturas, CA 96101 TFN 20+ Years Exp.

Select an angel ornament hanging on the Christmas tree near the front door at Seab’s True Value in Alturas and the $3 proceeds from each sale will be donated to the Senior Center in Alturas. A Senior Center volunteer for 20 years who rides the bus to the center, Frances Hughes made the 200 angels in the hopes of generating funds to help the center. At the suggestion of her granddaughter Jennifer Barcia, who owns True Value with her husband Jason, the location was set. “When I stopped working, I wanted to do something - so I began helping at the Senior Center,” says Mrs. Hughes. “I’ve done fancy work all my life and give angels to family members each year. This year, family members contributed 24 rolls of thread and some materials to help create 320 angels. A very modest senior herself, Mrs. Hughes shuns notoriety, but was selected as a Plumas Bank Kindness Award recipient recently “for adding so much joy to the senior center, especially for making 200 beautiful hand-made angels for the senior center Christmas tree.” Plumas Bank donated $30 in her honor to Modoc County Senior Citizen’s Association.

Block M Tourney dedicated to Slinkards The Rotary Clubs of Alturas are dedicating the 2010 Block M Basketball Tournament to Susan and Gary Slinkard, in honor of the many years of their commitment to Alturas youth basketball. The 54th Block M tournament opens today December 16 and continues through Saturday night Dec. 18 in the Modoc High Griswold Gymnasium in Alturas. Susan Slinkard started keeping score for basketball with Modoc High coach and teacher Shirley Oxley, more than 35 years ago, even traveling to Sacramento with the 1998 varsity girls team to keep the official book at the State Championship game. Gary Slinkard began working for the school in 1991 and has always been on hand to support the teams and drive the rooter buses to away games. “The ongoing dedication of Gary and Susan has been invaluable to students, coaches and faculty alike and Rotary is proud to recognize them for their service above self,” say Ro- tarians. This year’s tournament competition will take place all three days between varsity and junior varsity boys and girls from Modoc, Chester, Tulelake and Lakeview high schools. The varsity boys and girls championship teams will take home the Rotary Block M Bell Trophy, which they will display for the year at their school, returning it the following year to defend their championship. Half-time activities throughout the tournament will offer youngsters chances to show off their skills and talents, practicing for when they are old enough to play in the Block M tournaments. A sirloin roast dinner will be offered Friday evening that includes a baked potato, green salad, bread, ice cream and assorted desserts for only $10 per meal. A vegetarian dish will be offered as well. The dinner will be served from 4:30 until 7:30. The first game starts Thursday afternoon, Dec. 16 with the final champi- onship game scheduled for Saturday evening, Dec. 18 at 8:00 p.m. Friday evening will reveal the crowning of the Block M Queen. During this fourth year of involvement, the Rotary clubs promise a weekend of fun and excitement for young and old alike.

The “2010 Citizen of the Year” will be honored at a community dinner on February 13. Everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing or working with a person they feel deserves to be recognized for their character, community work, perseverance in adversity, or for whatever qualities are admired and worthy of praise, is invited to submit a letter of nomination before the deadline on Friday, January 21, 2011. Yes, it may seem like eons away but why not take some time during the holidays to think back over the past year and see who stands out as “extra-special”? Letters of nomination should include the writer’s name and contact information, the name of the person they are submitting for consideration, and a short written account outlining clearly the reasons the nominee deserves to be honored as “Citizen of the Year”. Letters should be typed or legibly written and mailed or hand-delivered to the chamber office at PO Box 518, Cedarville, California, 96104.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.
