U.S. Senators Barbara
Boxer and Dianne Feinstein
and Representative Doug
LaMalfa recently praised the
final passage of the
Susanville Indian Rancheria
Lands Bill that will transfer
federally-owned lands into
trust for the Susanville
Indian Rancheria to preserve
the tribe’s cultural and
natural resources. Gaming is
prohibited on the land
transferred under this bill.
“I thank the president for
helping protect the culture,
history and identity of the
Susanville Indian
Rancheria,” said Boxer.
“This law will allow the tribe
to preserve precious
artifacts, restore these lands
and one day build a cultural
center that will benefit the
community for generations
to come.”
“The identity of the tribe
at Susanville Indian
Rancheria is tied to their
ancestral homeland,” said
Feinstein. “I felt it was
important to transfer this
parcel into the trust to
reconnect the tribe to their
land and allow them to
restore it while preserving
their culture and heritage.”
“The president’s signature
ensures that the Susanville
tribes may continue their
traditional practices on land
with which they have a close
and historical connection,”
said LaMalfa. “It also serves
federal taxpayers by
relieving the Bureau of Land
Managment of the costs of
maintaining the property,
while allowing the
development of a cultural
center that benefits both
Susanville and other tribes.”
Chairman Brandon
Guitierez, of the Susanville
Indian Rancheria, said, “I
would like to thank Senator
Boxer, Senator Feinstein and
Representative LaMalfa for
their bipartisan efforts to
ensure that the Susanville
Indian Rancheria regained a
piece of important land. The
Honey Lake Valley is very
important to our four
indigenous tribes. Of those
four tribes there are at least
eight bands. Every piece of
dirt, blade of grass and
sweet-smelling sagebrush is
a part of all of us. We love
our home, and we are
thankful to the BLM and the
leaders in Washington who
saw fit to ensure the return
of a very small piece of what
was once ours.”
The Susanville Indian
Rancheria is a federally
recognized Indian tribe in
Northeastern California.
The Susanville Indian
Rancheria Lands Bill will
place approximately 300
acres of land administered

Wall of Remembrance seeks volunteers
The Global War on Terror
Wall of Remembrance,
which is heading to
Susanville June 30 to July 4,
is looking for volunteers to
oversee the attraction at all
hours during the day.
The Wall of Remembrance
honors men and women who
have been killed in the War
on Terror is arriving to
Susanville in accordance
with the Stop 22 Tour, which
brings awareness to the 22
veteran suicides a day.
With the attraction, locals
will be able to pay their
respects 24 hours a day at
Lassen County Fairgrounds.
According to Brittany
Sanchez, who is helping
organize the event, the
program is still looking for
volunteers to help oversee
the wall during the day and
night.
She said having it open 24
hours a day allows people
who may not want to visit
the wall during busy hours
to have the opportunity to
visit it in solitude.
The wall will be escorted
from The Mark in Herlong at
about 10:30 a.m. Thursday,
June 30. It will be on Main
Street in Susanville at
about noon. The wall will
close at noon on Monday,
July 4.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, July 3, a
concert featuring Sam Tate,
Stephen Cochran and Tyler
Jay Satterfield will be open
to attendees.
For more information, or
to volunteer, call Sanchez at
249-4558.
Interim Police Chief Jim
Uptegrove honored four
Susanville Police Officers
who went “above and beyond
what we would consider
normal expectations of the
job” that saved the lives of
three local residents at the
Susanville City Council’s
Wednesday, June 22 meeting.
Uptegrove presented
plaques recognizing Terra
Avilla, the school resource
officer at Lassen High
School, Sgt. Ryan Cochran
and officers Nate Horton and
Kelley Merritt for their lifesaving efforts.
Uptegrove commented on
many news stories of police
corruption or officers using
excessive force, but he said
those incidents make up a
small fraction of police calls.
“Tonight I want to
recognize four officers from
the Susanville Police
Department who have been
directly involved in lifesaving efforts during the
course of their routine
duties, responding to calls
that did not turn out to be so
routine,” Uptegrove said.
Avilla responded to a call
on Sept. 15, 2015 about a
female student who had
collapsed on the football
field. When Avilla arrived
she discovered the student
unconscious on the ground
and not breathing. She began
chest compressions, a high
school staff member
administered a rescue
breath, and the student
began breathing on her own.
The student was transported
to Banner Lassen Medical
Center for further treatment.
“Officer Avilla’s quick
actions are credited with
saving the life of the
student,” Uptegrove said.
“Her actions were
recognized by the American
Heart Association, and she
was a recipient of the Heart
Saver Award … She acted
quickly and professionally
and she’s living the
department’s mission of
pride in service and service
with pride.”
Sgt. Cochran was on patrol
April 13, 2016, when a couple
flagged him down because a
child in a stroller was
chocking on a piece of candy.
“Sgt. Cochran quickly
performed the Heimlich
Maneuver on the young girl,

City council recognizes veteran councilmember
Sam Williams
Managing Editor
[email protected]
The Susanville City Council
honored veteran
councilmember Lino
Callegari for his dedication to
public service and his years
on the council at its
Wednesday, June 22 meeting
before the newly elected
councilmembers took the
oath of office.
It’s almost impossible to
comprehend when you think
about it, but when Callegari
took his seat on the dais as a
member of the Susanville
City Council 28 years ago,
Ronald Reagan was in the
White House. Callegari
dedicated his life to public
service, and he also retired
after a career as a law
enforcement officer.
Jared Hancock, city
administrator, said the city
had prepared a plaque
recognizing Callegari not
only for his years of service
on the council, but for his
lifetime of dedication to
public service to the
community.
“I had the pleasure to serve
with councilmember
Callegari for the past four
years,” said former Mayor
Brian Wilson, and I have a
few things to read about his
years on the city council.
Twenty-eight years is a long
time, Lino. I can only
imagine.”
Wilson summarized
Callegari’s service on the
council — first elected in
1988, four terms (eight years)
as mayor and service on
many boards and
commissions, including the
Lassen County Air Pollution
Control District, the Lassen
County Transportation
Commission, the Lassen
Regional Solid Waste
Authority, the Indian Gaming
Committee, the Citizen’s
Advisory Committee, the
Susanville Airport
Commission and more.
Wilson said Callegari was a
strong supporter of the effort
to bring natural gas to
Susanville, law enforcement
and public safety issues,
small business development,
community health and
wellness (especially the
current push to bring a
dialysis center to Susanville)
and other senior citizen
issues.
“Lino, it’s been a pleasure
to serve these four years on
the council with you,”
Wilson said.
Callegari, 82, the son of
immigrants, said he was born
in Westwood in 1934. After
high school he played football
for Lassen College and joined
the Army.
When he came back home,
the mill in Westwood had
closed, so he moved to
Susanville and went back to
college.
“... I finally had to go to
work at the Lassen County
road department,” Callegari
quipped, working on Highway
139 and Highway 44, “and it
just went on from there.”
Callegari said he played a
role in the installation of
deflectors on roofs at Lassen
Community College, taught
drivers training at the college
for many years after the high
school abandoned the
program.
He also recounted growing
up in Lassen County.
“Lassen County is a
tremendous county,”
Callegari said. “I was lucky
enough to come through the
era of the lumberjacks … I
grew up with Westwood, the
second largest sawmill in the
world, but the largest sawdust

pile. We had the only steamheated sidewalks in the
world.”
He said even though some
people did not like the Red
River Lumber Company, his
mother lived with the Walker
family for 18 months when
her folks went back to
Switzerland.
He worked at the plywood
line at the mill in Westwood,
and then in the early 1950s all
his friends were going to
Korea because “it seemed like
the place to go,” so Callegari
volunteered for the draft.
Upon his return he married
his wife, Delight and they’ve
been married for 58 years.
They have four children, 11
grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren.
“It a pleasure to live in
Susanville,” Callegari said.
“They were our enemy from
Westwood — we’d come down
here and date their girls and
they’d go up there and date
our girls, but it worked out in
the end.”
As his parents struggled to
complete the process of
becoming American citizens,
Callegari said his older
brother, also born in
America, served in World
War II.
“I want to thank everybody
for what they do, and
hopefully people will start
attending the meetings,”
Callegari said. “It’s good I’m
going out now. My last

IHSS workers seek raise
Makenzie Davis

Bargaining for a 50-cent
increase in pay, In-Home
Supportive Services
providers attended the Lassen
County Board of Supervisors
meeting to discuss their
contract during public
comment.
During the Tuesday, June
21 meeting, board Chairman
Jim Chapman did note the
county was in negotiations
with IHSS providers
regarding the contract.
However, providers made
sure to get their point across
to the board.
IHSS is a program funded
by federal, state and county
funds.
Cindie Fonseca, regional
director for Service
Employees International
Union, which represents the
In-Home Supportive Service providers of Lassen County,
spoke during the meeting.
“By supporting the IHSS
program, you are supporting
the most vulnerable people in
your community,” she said to
the board, mentioning
providers care for elderly and
disabled residents still living
in their own homes.
She also said she provided
board members with an
economic study for the
county.
Currently, there are 135
IHSS providers in the county,
with a current wage of $10 an
hour.
According to an overview
provided by IHSS, if a 50 cent
an hour increase were
approved by the board, the
county would only be
responsible for about eight
cents of the cost, making an
annual increase of about
$18,000.
“By increasing IHSS wages
by 50 cents, the new monies
coming from the federal and
state share of costs would
benefit the local economy,
support local jobs, and help
hundreds of workers make
ends meet, all while costing
the county less than a dime,”
read the overview.
During the meeting, IHSS
provider Annie Westerbeck
also listed various services
provided by the workers such
as cleaning, shopping for
food, driving and helping
clean up the IHSS
participants.
“I am a proud home care
worker,” said Westerbeke in a
prepared statement. “The job
that we do is important for
our care recipients and our
communities, yet our efforts
for a union contract have
been stonewalled. Our goal is
to make sure our elected
officials invest in the
program that keeps our lowincome seniors and people
with disabilities in the
comfort of their own home,
where they want to be.”
Additional IHSS providers
also spoke about their work
and the low wage.
“Investing in the IHSS
workforce is investing in the
long term care of seniors and
people with disabilities in
Lassen County as home care
providers need to be able to
make ends meet so that they
can continue doing the work
they do,” read the statement.
The matter was discussed
in public comment so the
board could not speak on
the item.

Lassen County Times
Authority breaks ground at new pool site
Sam Williams
Managing Editor
[email protected]
It’s been a long time
coming, but the Honey Lake
Valley Recreation Authority
held a groundbreaking
ceremony for the new
community swimming pool
at 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 21.
The pool is expected to open
to the public next spring.
Members of the authority’s
board — Susanville Mayor
Brian Wilson, Lassen County
Supervisors Jim Chapman
and Tom Hammond, public
member David Meserve and
Wendy McBride, board
member Nick McBride’s
wife, who filled in for the
volunteer firefighter while he
is out of town fighting a
wildfire, stuck golden shovels
into the soft dirt to
symbolically begin the
construction phase of the
project, which is expected to
be completed by next spring.
Jared Hancock, the
authority’s executive officer,
opened the ceremony by
welcoming more than 100
residents who braved a hot,
sunny day to attend the
event. He summarized the
process beginning with the
closure of Roosevelt Pool for
Jacob Bennett, of Diamond View School, Julienne Bennett, of
McKinley School and Georgia Bennett, of Meadow View School,
were leaders of the Pennies for the Pool effort. Another student
who participated in Pennies for the Pool, Hudson Northrup, is

safety reasons a decade ago.
“In a lot of respects this is
a culminating event, but it’s
also a first step as we move
forward,” Hancock said. “If
it wasn’t for the passion and
commitment of community
members, neighbors like
yourselves and individuals,
people who have put in so
much time over that period
to keep the dream alive to
bring a community pool back
to Susanville … we wouldn’t
be here today.”
Hancock said a veteran
supervisor and a first-term
member of the Susanville
City Council responded to
the community’s desire for a
pool and came up with a
cooperative process and
funding in which the city
and the county could work
together to build a pool, and
the effort included the
creation of a new public
agency to manage the
project.
“In construction, you have
these ceremonies at the start
of most jobs, and I’ve been to
quite a few,” said Phil Strong,
of Modern Building, Inc., the
project’s contractor. “I’ve
been to ones for hundreds of
million dollar jobs, and we
didn’t have turnouts like
this. That tells me this
project is pretty well valued.
There are a lot of people out
here supporting it. As a
member of Modern Building,
we’re not going to let you
down.”
Wilson commented on a
man’s T-shirt that read,
“This is what awesome looks
like.”
“This really is what
awesome looks like,” Wilson
said. “This is what it looks
like when a community
comes together, tackles what
seems like an easy problem
that turns into a very
difficult problem to solve …
Then you take a bunch of
board members and stick
them in a room for three
years, and they fight it out.
Sometimes it was kind of
ugly. I sit on a lot of boards,
but I’ve got to tell you, this is
the board that has the most
passion because of what the
end goal was.”
Wilson also acknowledged
former Lassen County
Supervisor Larry Wosick,
who served on the authority
board at its creation. Wosick
moved out of Lassen County,

Lassen forest closes
some roads for repair
Lassen National Forest
staff wishes to make the
public aware of two damaged
culvert crossings that limit
access to the forest.
• Big Bend Creek-The
culvert crossing on Big Bend
Creek is currently closed.
The closure impacts Forest
Service Road 28N06, which
provides access to Hole in the
Ground Campground and the
Mill Creek Trailhead. Both
the campground and the
trailhead remain open, but
the trailhead requires an
additional 1.7-mile walk to
access.
The crossing suffered a
catastrophic failure during
the winter of 2013-2014.
Forest Service staff first
became aware of the
culvert’s condition in May
2014. When the damage was
discovered, staff moved
quickly to address the
immediate health and safety
concerns by using grant
funding provided by Caltrans
to remove the culvert and
stabilize the stream banks.
The culvert was removed
to address not only public
safety concerns, but also to
prevent the potential
degradation of fish spawning
habitat. Big Bend Creek
supports populations of
native rainbow trout and
Central Valley steelhead, a
federally listed threatened
species.
Additionally, Big Bend
Creek is a tributary to Mill
Creek, part of the
Sacramento River watershed,
which provides critical
habitat for both spring-run
Chinook salmon and Central
Valley steelhead trout.
As of June 2016, the Forest
Service has not yet developed
a plan to address the loss of
the crossing. If an
alternative other than
replacing the culvert is
considered, it will be part of
a formal public scoping and
comment process under the
National Environmental
Protection Act.
• Nanny Creek-Lassen
National Forest staff have
identified public safety
concerns near the culvert
crossing along Forest Service
Road 29N22 at Nanny Creek.
As a result, portions of
Forest Road 29N22 to the east
and west of this crossing
have been temporarily
closed. Visitors can still
access portions of this road
via Forest Service Road
30N16 or Forest Service Road
17.
Nanny Creek is one of the
headwater streams of South
Fork Battle Creek, which
supports populations of
Central Valley steelhead and
spring-run Chinook salmon,
both are federally listed
threatened species. The creek
also supports rainbow trout
populations.
In order to address the
failing culvert, the Forest
Service will need to consider
solutions that minimize
potentially adverse impacts
to the watershed. If an
alternative other than
replacing the culvert is
considered, it will be part of
a formal public scoping and
comment process under the
National Environmental
Protection Act.
For more information, call
Laurie Earley, district
fisheries biologist for the
Almanor Ranger District, at
258-5169 or
[email protected].
Lassen National Forest lies
at the crossroads of
California, where the granite
of the Sierra Nevada, the
lava of the Cascades and the
Modoc plateau and the
sagebrush of the Great Basin
meet. The forest is managed
for recreational access as
well as timber and firewood
for homes, forage for
livestock, water, minerals,
and other natural resources.

Logging show events offer a bigger purse in 2016
Competitors at the 2016
logging show for the Paul
Bunyan Mountain and Blues
Festival will have an
opportunity to win cash
prizes totaling $250 for each
event.
The events are: Women’s
axe throw, men’s axe throw,
speed axe, single buck,
double buck, Jack and Jill
handsaw, standing block
chop, choker setting, hot saw
and underhand chop. First
place in each event is $150,
second place is $100 and third
place is $50.
“I’m really looking forward
to the show this year,” said
Wesley Palmer, the logging
show coordinator. “I think
the payouts for the events
will make a difference and
we should have some good
competition showing up.”
Competitions begin at noon
and there is grandstand
seating for the audience at
Westwood Park, the site of
the festival. Entry forms are
available on the Westwood
Chamber website
(westwoodareachamber.com)
or at the festival.

competitions.
Wesley Palmer, the coordinator for the logging show at the Paul Bunyan Mountain and Blues
Festival Saturday, July 2, is a familiar competitor in logging sports. Here he competes in the
standing block chop. Photos by Susan Cort Johnson
Paul Bunyan Mountain and
Blues Festival connects
Westwood to its roots, the
west coast logging operation
for the Red River Lumber
Company. A century later the
mill is gone, but the logging
heritage remains.
Thus, logging competitions
are a true fit for the festival
and this year Palmer, the
event coordinator, is a
seasoned competitor. Palmer
got into logging sports at
Humboldt State where he
obtained a Bachelor of
Science Degree in Forestry.
He continues to compete in
logging competitions with a
goal to participate in the
Stihl Timbersports Series.
He competes in Westwood
rodeo, in that everything
competitors do is derived
from the trade. The one
exception is the hot saw
competition.
According to Palmer,
excellence in logging sports
is based on training and good
technique rather than
muscle. Therefore, the size of
the competitor and even the
age is not necessarily a
factor. To improve his times,
he commits to a regular
training schedule that
annually and also at logging
shows in Fort Bragg,
California; Missoula,
Montana; Roseburg, Oregon;
and Morton, Washington.
Also, he has driven to
competitions in Idaho. This
Fourth of July he will be in
Longview, Washington
competing.
Logging sports is similar to
includes a lot of time
chopping and exercising at
the gym.
Logging sports are not just
for industry professionals
either. Palmer said he knows
teachers and a lawyer who
competes.
Although Palmer never
worked in logging, his father
did, so he is familiar with the
industry. Currently he works
at Collins Pine in Chester as
a forestry technician.

Parade Grand Marshals inspire theme of volunteerism
Sheila Oxford and Connie Medici,
a team for 44 years and the “driving
force” behind many community
activities, were named the 2016
Grand Marshals for the Paul
Bunyan Mountain and Blues
Festival Parade for their many
years of community service. They
were selected by the Westwood Area
Chamber of Commerce board of
directors.
The two set the standard for
volunteerism and thus inspired the
theme for the parade—“Volunteers:
The Driving Force of our
Community.” It is scheduled at 10:30
a.m. Saturday, July 2, along Ash and
Third streets in Westwood.
Together, Oxford and Medici
catered dinners for Westwood
Rotary meetings and oversaw the
food preparation for a multitude of
other events sponsored by the club.
They worked the crab feed,
Valentine’s dinner and other big
community events. They helped
make the breakfast burritos served
to Westwood Little League players
and coaches during the opening
ceremonies and were part of the
Rotary team serving a hot breakfast
to students at Fletcher Walker
Elementary once a month before the
site was closed.
Also, they catered special
occasions, such as reunions and
weddings.
“It was the best partnership in
the whole world. She knew what I
was thinking and I knew what she
was thinking,” said Oxford.
Although the two were named as
grand marshals, Medici succumbed
to cancer this May but she was
reportedly thrilled to be asked
when she received the letter of
invitation from the Westwood
Chamber. The contribution she
made to Westwood will be
remembered.
Both Oxford and Medici had two
children and therefore did a lot of
volunteer work with the school.
Oxford said when a high school
class was put in charge of the
concession stand for a game the
students would contact them for
help. Together they helped with the
Westwood Little League, Westwood
High sports and the Westwood
Spirited Marching Show Band as
well.
Many generations have Oxford
and Medici to thank for the colored
eggs they hunted on Easter Sunday
at the Westwood Rotary sponsored
event. For more than four decades
they dyed around 960 eggs. Also
they helped fill the bags of goodies
distributed before Christmas
vacation to school children by
Rotary Santa and his elf, portrayed

and Connie
Medici hold flats
of the eggs they
colored for the
Westwood
Rotary Easter
Egg Hunt. It was
one of many
community
activities for
which they
volunteered.

by Oxford.
When asked what motivated them
to serve, Oxford said, “It was the
feeling you have done something
nice for an individual, a group or
the town.”
Oxford was a freshman in high
Medici for help. Her answer, and the
result, became an inside joke
between them.
“Connie said she could only do it
temporarily. Forty-four years later
she was still working her
temporary job,” said Oxford.
school and Medici a senior when
they met. New to Westwood, Oxford
was befriended by Medici who
helped her enroll in school and
introduced her to cheerleading.
When Westwood Rotary asked
Oxford to cater dinners she asked

How to avoid vehicle,
pedestrian accidents
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
[email protected]
The bright summer sun,
distractions and speeding all
aid in vehicle and pedestrian
accidents, but the local
police department have
some tips to avoid the
potentially harmful
occurrence.
According Jim Uptegrove,
Susanville Police
Department Interim Police
Chief, the number one
reason for vehicle and
pedestrian accidents is
speed.
“People need to slow
down,” he said, in addition
to noting distractions in the
vehicle increase the
potential for a wreck.
Recently, a jogging off-duty
officer was involved in a
vehicle pedestrian accident,
according to Uptegrove. In
that case, the sun was in the
driver’s eyes.
Uptegrove said, if the sun
is limiting the driver’s
ability to see the road, they
should slow down and drive
only as fast as conditions
allow.
He also suggested drivers
clean both the inside and
outside of the windshield to
increase visibility when the
sun hits just right.
Moreover, he also had
some suggestions for
pedestrians.
“Even though you have the
right-of-way, don’t expect the
right-of-way,” Uptegrove
said.
He stressed even
pedestrians should be aware
of conditions, and said they
should always look both
ways before crossing the
street.
In April of 2015, the
Susanville Police
Department conducted a
pedestrian safety operation.
In a matter of four and a
half hours, plain-clothes
officers posed as pedestrians
crossing Main Street and
stopped drivers who did not
Pets of the week
yield.
Twenty vehicles were
stopped, seven warnings
were issued and 13 citations
were given out.
“The operation was
conducted as a result of
recent incidents of vehicle
vs. pedestrian near misses
and collisions. The focus of
the operation is to raise
awareness of pedestrian
safety and reduce the
number of
vehicle/pedestrian related
incidents,” read a statement
from the event. “California
law requires the driver of a
vehicle to stop for a
pedestrian crossing the
roadway within a marked
crosswalk of within any
unmarked crosswalk at an
intersection. California law
also requires that the
pedestrian use due care for
their safety when entering
the path of a vehicle that is
so close as to constitute an
immediate hazard.”

Every year residents of
Lassen County are faced with
the threat of wildfires.
California holds the
number two spot for the
number of wildfires in 2015,
according to the National
Interagency Fire Center.
The Public Policy Institute
of California reports that the
past four years of drought
have contributed to the
number of dead and dying
trees in California’s forests.

the amount of grass
throughout the area, which is
now drying out and adding to
the current fire danger.
Although the prevention of
wildfires may not be possible,
there are things homeowners
can do to protect themselves
from the devastation of
wildfires.
State Farm Insurance
recommends limiting the
amount of combustible
materials stored in and
around your home, as well as
maintaining a defensible
space around structures by
clearing away or trimming
vegetation. This reduces the
possibility of fire damage and
creates a safety zone for
firefighters in case of a fire.
The insurance company
also recommends a review of
your homeowner’s policy and
make sure you understand
your deductible as well as the
difference between market
value and replacement cost.
Creating a home inventory
and evacuation plan are also
recommended.
For more information on
how to be prepared in case of
a wildfire, contact your local
insurance agency.

About the filing
Every three years, PG&E is required to file a GRC with the CPUC. On September 1, 2015, PG&E filed its 2017
GRC application (A.15-09-001) requesting approval to increase rates to operate, maintain and upgrade PG&E’s
electric distribution, gas distribution and electric generation facilities. The CPUC will ultimately make a decision
on what is reasonable for customers to pay in rates. The current CPUC approved revenue for 2016 is $7.9 billion.
If this request is approved, PG&E will increase revenue $333 million in 2017, followed by an additional increase
of $469 million in 2018 and, in 2019, an additional increase of $368 million. The cumulative total increase for
the 2017-2019 GRC will be $2.305 billion as compared to the current revenue amount. The revenue requested
in this GRC will be used to make the following investments:

Lassen Land and Trails
Trust receives grants
The Lassen Land and Trails
Trust recently received a
grant from the California
Department of Parks and
Recreation, Off Highway
Motor Vehicle Recreation
Division to restore the sevenacre property behind the
Historic Susanville Railroad
Depot. LLTT acquired the
property in March 2015 from
a willing seller with another
grant from the California
Department of Parks and
Recreation. This purchase
will allow LLTT to extend the
Bizz Johnson National
Recreation Trail to Alexander
Avenue. The trail will then
connect to Lassen County’s
proposed Skyline South
multipath and the envisioned
23 mile rail-trail to Wendel
and the Modoc line rail-trail.
“Over the years, the cut
banks along the abandoned
railroad grade were used as a
play area by operators driving
quads, dirt bikes or SUVs,”
said Elizabeth Norton, vice
president of LLTT. “This
restoration grant will allow
us to restore and seed the hill
climbs with native grasses, to
fence the perimeter of the
property, and to post signs
showing the area is managed
for non-motorized
recreation.”
“Restoration of the Depot
property is a two-phase
project under this new grant,”
explained Amy Holmen,
LLTT lands manager. “Phase
1 will fund the completion of
a site design and
environmental analysis prior
to restoring the hill climbs.
Phase 2 will then launch the
actual restoration work.
Vehicle tracks will be filled
in, seeded and waddles placed
along the cut banks to prevent
further erosion until the area
is revegetated.”
“The entire project will be
completed by fall 2017 and
then we’ll focus on building
the Bizz extension, mentioned
Norton. We’d like to thank
Jeff Morris of NST
Engineering and Norm and
Philip Shepherd of Pee Wee
Enterprises who donated
their services to help us
prepare the grant application.
The community really
supports improvement of the
Depot property and the new
trail. We’re grateful when
partners volunteer their time
to help us create a public
space for all to enjoy.”

and Wilson said he hoped the
former board member would
be able to attend the pool’s
opening ceremony.
“In my 40 years of public
life, I have to say this is one
of the brightest moments in
terms of service,” Chapman
said, “and I just want to say
thank you to the people of
Susanville and Lassen
County for maintaining hope
and a bright future and not
succumbing to fear and those
who choose to divide us,
because that’s what makes
this happen. We have an
obligation to the next
generation and the next
generation after that to pass
on to them the world that we
enjoyed … I’m serious about
this, and the passion is real.”
Chapman praised Wilson
for coming up with the idea
the city and the county could
work together to create the
project.
Chapman said the
importance of this project
came from the local children.
“If we do anything today
we need to honor the fact the

younger generation gave the
older generation
some leadership skills,”
Chapman said.
Tears came to Chapman’s
eyes when he remembered an
old friend — Ray Fred
Valentine — a man with a
medical condition who could
only exercise in the waters of
Roosevelt Pool.
“The day Roosevelt Pool
closed was like a death
warrant being signed for Ray
Valentine,” Chapman said.
“Three years later, he died,
but Ray, you’re not forgotten.
This pool is for future Ray
Valentines, our disabled, our
seniors and others who have
only one chance for survival
and existence in our society
is with a facility of this
nature … Their choices are
limited, and the pool is so
important for the quality and
their way of life, and that’s
what we have to remember.”
Brian Wilson is credited with coming up with the idea of a
cooperative effort between the city and the county to build a
new community pool.

away from all activities,
from plays to sporting

“Depending on how many

you’re going to miss it,” she
said. “Three weeks is a long

be tracking x amount of

McCabe said it was a

Pedrett said for other

progressive depending on
how often offenses occur.
A parent during the

School considers
accountability plan
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
[email protected]
At the Janesville Union
elementary School Board of
Trustees meeting Tuesday,
June 21, Chief Business
Official Susan Junette
presented the 2016 to 2017
Local Control Accountability
Plan.
The LCAP is designed
each year to identify and set
goals for the district.
Junette shared that the
district has three goals this
year.
She said the first goal was
to strive to provide a broad
course of study for all
students from a highly
credentialed and qualified
staff working towards the
full implementation of the
California State Standards.
Junette shared several
ways the district plans to
achieve this goal.
Junette said the district
will strive to have 95 percent
of its teachers highly
qualified and appropriately
place. She said the district
anticipates one teacher’s
continued participation in
the BTSA program.
She said the district plans
to continue after school
programs such as art, music,
technology, gardening,
science club and Odyssey of
the Mind.
The district also plans to
keep the student and teacher
ratio in the TK - 3
classrooms to 24 students to
one teacher. The district will
hire additional teachers if
necessary.
will also offer high quality
professional development to
staff for ELA and ELD
standards.
The second goal for the
district is to continue to
engage both parents and
students in order to provide
a safe environment where
students and staff can learn.
Junette shared ways the
district plans to implement
the second goal.
will provide an annual
online survey for parents to
complete.
She said the district also
plans to host a variety of
family events. Family
participation will be tracked
using a sign in sheet.
The district also hopes to
reduce expulsion and
suspension rates from prior
year levels.
The district also wishes to
hire a part time behavioral
health councilor. Previously
they had one for half a day
and wish to increase it to
once a week.
plans to provide additional
learning opportunities for
students through assemblies.
Students, grades fourth
through eighth, will be given
surveys to help measure
school climate.
Junette also shared that
the district hopes to increase
overall attendance rates
from prior year, increase
communication to parents
about truancies and increase
positive awards for
attendance.
The district would also
like to increase
communication with
families.
According to Junette, the
district’s third goal is to
continue to provide all
students with a rigorous and
challenging education,
instructional assistance and
tools necessary for college
and career readiness.
Junette shared several
ways in which district plans
to achieve this goal.
will continue to develop
keyboarding skills in grades
second through eighth.
She said the district will
continue to offer high
quality professional
development.
Junette said reading
intervention will also be
provided for students who
need it.
The district also plans to
purchase a computer
program to assess and
provide intervention support
to students performing
below grade level in reading.
She said the district also
plans to continue the SST
coordinator position which
schedules meetings and
collaboration between staff
and family to help students
meet grade level standards.
petroglyphs, traditional
medicinal plants and it
serves as a migratory path
for Antelope and Mule Deer.
“Since we were put in
Honey Lake Valley, we have
strived to make it through
the tough winters so that our
children can know what
happiness is. More land in
the hands of Indian people is
a very good thing, and I hope
leaders in Washington see fit
to give more back to the
indigenous people of the
United States. When an
Indian tribe is given land in
trust, they almost always do
a great job in protecting and
preserving their identities,
history and culture for
future generations.”

the girl stopped breathing,”
Uptegrove said. “Sgt.
Cochran began chest
compressions, and after
several chest compressions
the young girl began to
breath on her own.”
The girl was transported to
Banner Lassen Medical
Center for further treatment.
“Sgt. Cochran’s quick
actions are credited with
saving this young girl’s life,”
Uptegrove said. “His actions
also were noticed by the
American Heart Association,
and he was a recipient of the
Heart Saver Award … Sgt.
Cochran is a great reflection
of this department and to all
law enforcement.”
Officer Horton and Merritt
responded to a call on Paul
Bunyan Road on May 16,
2016.
The officers found a man
unconscious on the ground

legislation was introduced
by LaMalfa in May 2015 and
passed in November 2015.
Guitierez said, “Once this
legislation is signed into law
we will have the ability to
preserve more of our
ancestral lands and cultural
areas. The bill’s passage is
the culmination of years of
collaboration and hard work
by current and former SIR
council members and our
congressional delegation. I
appreciate the combined and
concentrated efforts of all
those who took the time to
help us out. This piece of

“Due to the quick actions
by officers Norton and
Merritt, the man quickly
regained his pulse, his
breathing, and as a result of
their actions, the individual
was able to be transported to
Center,” Uptegrove said.
Uptegrove also wanted to
recognize two responders
from the Susanville Fire
Department — captain Brad
Medvin and firefighter David
Myers who also responded to
the call.
New officers
Uptegrove also introduced
two new officers — Frederic
Foulk, who began work on
June 22, and Kevin
Singletary who will begin
work on July 5.
With the addition of the
two new officers, Uptegrove
said the department is now
fully staffed.

Eagle Lake’s Marina and Campground hosts July 1 program
Eagle Lake Marina and
Campgrounds is sponsoring
a presentation by Dr. Byron
Adams beginning at 8:15
p.m. Friday, July 1, at the
amphitheater adjacent to
Merrill Campground on
County Road A1. All are
invited to this free
presentation.
Dr. Adams grew up in
Susanville, graduated from
Lassen High School in 1984,
completed his undergraduate
work at BYU and obtained
his Ph.D in Biological
Sciences from the University
of Nebraska.
Adams studies organisms
that live in extreme
environments. His
presentation, Life on the
Edge: From Eagle Lake to
Antarctica, introduces us to
similarities between Eagle
Lake and Antarctica.
“Believe it or not, there are
many similarities between
the ecosystems of Eagle Lake
and the ice-free regions of
terrestrial Antarctica. In my
presentation, I’ll describe the
geological, climatological,
and biological similarities
that make Eagle Lake and
Taylor Valley, Antarctica, my
favorite places on Earth.”
Adams’s presentation is
geared for budding scientists
and youngsters and for those
of us with some life
experience. All ages are
welcome — this is a great
activity for families, scout
troops, nature enthusiasts,
and anyone who’d like to
learn more about our
beautiful local environment.
about how cool it would be to
be a biologist and study cool
stuff like that all the
time. Later on, when I was a
graduate student, I came
across all these scientific
papers that made important,
fundamental discoveries
about biology – discoveries
that were made right here at
Eagle Lake! How lucky I was
to be able to grow up here!”
Adams explains, “I love
Eagle Lake! My experiences
at Eagle Lake shaped my
career as a biologist. My
sixth-grade class was the
first group of elementary
students to spend the better
part of a week up at the
Eagle Lake Field
Station. That trip was my
first taste of real, field-based
science, and got me thinking

Amy Celeste Band headlines blues festival
Blues on a stage
surrounded by tall pines
makes the music venue at the
Blues Festival at Westwood
Park an inviting area to set
out a lawn chair or spread a
blanket on the grass. Another
option is a picnic table at the
adjacent food court.
Whatever location you
choose for listening to the
music Saturday, July 2, the
time will be well spent.
This year the headliner is
The Amy Celeste Band.
Celeste began her career
singing with blues bands
throughout Northern
California. In 2008, she
formed a band with Son Rey
Garcia, John Hale and Jack
Lemley. Jim Schmidt joined
the band in 2011. They
perform a diverse selection of
music, such as Adele’s
“Rolling in the Deep;” Duffy’s
“Mercy;” Michael Jackson’s
“The Way You Make Me
Feel;” and Patsy Cline’s “I
Fall to Pieces.”
All band members
contribute to Chico’s
Midnight Blues Society,
which is an open blues jam
the first Wednesday of the
month. Chico News and
Review reported the Blues
Society open jam helped
Celeste overcome her stage
fright to front her own blues
band. The band’s website
describes Celeste as a singer
who is as “smooth as silk one
minute and powerfully raw in
another.”
Nothin’ Personal, a classic
rock and roll and blues band
from Sacramento, has played
together since 1993. They
play “anything from Stevie
Ray Vaughan to Janice
Joplin, Pretenders to Led
Zeppelin.”
The band has four
members: Katina Whalen,
vocals; Glenn Whalen, guitar;
Greg King, bass guitar; as
well as various drummers.
Nothin’ Personal
entertains from noon to 2
p.m. and The Amy Celeste
Band plays from 2:30 to 4:30
p.m.
The festival blues venue is
a good anchor spot for
families, a way to keep in
touch throughout the day
when children go off to play
at Brimstone Bill’s Carnival
and adults browse the arts,
crafts, antiques and
collectibles show or take in a
few lumberjack competitions
at the logging show.
Lots of
activities prior
to festival
While gates open for the
Blues Festival at 11 a.m.
Saturday, July 2, several
activities will take place
prior to the festival in

Westwood.
Friday night, July 1, the
Westwood Chamber of
Commerce will host a street
dance at the Lassen County
Visitor Center-Westwood
Station located at Third and
Ash streets, next to the
railroad tracks. The dance is
from 8 to 11 p.m. and
features music by Timeless.
Saturday morning
volunteers for the Westwood
Museum Log Camp
Breakfast will be flipping
pancakes, frying bacon and
scrambling eggs at the
Westwood Community
Center on Third Street. They
will serve from 7 to 10 a.m.
The organizers of the 5K
Fun Run/Walk will be at the
Visitor Center at 7 a.m. to
begin registration for the
event that begins at 8 a.m.
It’s a family affair and funds
the Westwood Community

Longtime Westwood
resident Jack David Barber
passed from this life
peacefully on Saturday, June
4, 2016 at Golden Acres Care
Home in Yuba City,
California.
He was born April 16, 1931
in Kirkland, Washington to
the late John and Norah
(Irish) Barber. As a young
child he and his family
moved to the northeastern
California community of
Westwood, where he resided
until age 12, when his family
relocated to Sacramento,
California. Jack attended
high school in Sacramento
until age 18, when he joined
the military. He served his
country during the Korean
Conflict in the U.S. Army as
a paratrooper, 11th Airborne
Division. He was honorably
discharged in November
1953.
He married Helen Jean
Powers, of Westwood, on
April 21, 1952, whom he had
attended grade school with;
the two families had kept in
contact through the years. To
this blessed union, three sons
and a daughter were born.
In 1958, Jack and family
moved to Klamath Falls,
Oregon where he owned and
operated a boat repair shop.
In 1961, Jack accepted a
position with Cal Fire and
the family moved to
Westwood, where Jack rose
to the rank of fire captain. In
1974, an injury from his
military service forced him
into early retirement. Jack
loved his career with Cal
Fire and he was a highly
respected fireman.
Jack's favorite hobby was his
family, along with the
outdoors, hunting and
fishing. He loved kids and
had a special relationship
with each of his
grandchildren. He really
enjoyed watching them in
their sporting events. He
never missed a game, no
matter how far he had to
travel.
In his passing, Jack leaves
his sons, John Barber, of
Cantwell, Alaska, Skip
Barber and his wife Diana, of
Gridley, California, and Jeff
Barber and his wife Shirley,
of Westwood; daughter, Terri
Korhuniak and her husband
Rob, of Kennewick,
Washington; and cherished
family friend, JoAnn
Villalovos, of Westwood.
He was the proud
grandfather to David Barber,
Sarah (Justin) Fejeran, Molly
Barber, Devin (Tim) Maine,
Jake Barber and Jenna
(Antonio) Urata, along with
his great grandchildren,
Alexis Croazzo, Lylah
Fejeran, Jack & Atlas Urata.
He is also survived by his
sister, Amy DeMarco, of Red
Bluff, California and brother,
Mike Barber, of
Paradise, California.

Lassen National Forest trains staff for fire season
The planned exercise took place north of Chester, inside the Almanor Basin’s defensible fuel
profile zone. Photos submitted
In preparation for the
upcoming fire season,
Lassen National Forest’s
Almanor Ranger District
recently staged a
multiagency wildfire
suppression exercise. The
exercise took place 10 miles
north of Chester inside the
Almanor Basin’s defensible
fuel profile zone, which
serves as a buffer between
the undeveloped forest and
community of Chester. The
participating agencies
included the Forest Service,
Cal Fire and Lassen
National Volcanic Park.
The exercise was planned
as a prescribed fire, but
resources treated it as if the
fire were accidental for
training purposes. First on
the scene was the assigned
incident commander, Tom
Sanchez from the Lassen
National Forest.
His job was to assess the
scene and ensure that the
area was safe enough for
crews to engage. He
considered the type,
location, size and the status
of the fire as well as weather
conditions and access
routes. He determined which
structures or resources
might be threatened,
identified special hazards
and concerns and called for
resources.
The Jim Rust Patrol 12
arrived on scene to act in the
role of fire investigator to
determine the general fire
origin area.
After assessing the
situation, Sanchez called the
crews to the scene.
Battalions 11 and 12,
Prevention 1 and engines 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, HeartLake
Crew 3 and Helitack Crew 1
from the Almanor Ranger
District responded, along
with Cal Fire Engine 2261
and Lassen Volcanic Park
engines 76 and 701 and
Battalion 7.
The engines parked as
close to the fire as possible,
while the crews parked
further from the scene and
marched in.
Although it was a drill, the
firefighters were dealing
with a live fire and had to
contain it.
The incident commander
briefed the crews and
directed them to use an
anchor-and-flank strategy,
which involves building a
barrier around the sides of
the fire to prevent spreading.
Engine crews put in hose
lays and set up pumping
systems to help extinguish
the flames, while hand crews
dug fire lines, raked
potentially flammable forest
debris, and used chainsaws
to cut large dead and
downed woody debris that
could serve as potential fuel
sources.
“It’s common for
firefighters to be stressed on
the scene, but they know
they must stay aware,
remain calm, and have a
clear mind to get the job
done quickly and safety,”
said Sanchez.
Fifteen acres were ignited
for the drill and called
contained at 23 acres six
hours later.
Lassen National Forest
lies at the crossroads of
California, where the
granite of the Sierra
Nevada, the lava of the
Cascades and the Modoc
plateau, and the sagebrush
of the Great Basin meet. The
forest is managed for
recreational access as well
as timber and firewood for
homes, forage for livestock,
water, minerals, and other
natural resources. For more
information, call 257-2151 or

grades kindergarten to sixth grade on Thursdays. Photo by Makenzie Davis
Library offers summer programs
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
[email protected]
The Lassen Library is
opening its doors to all
readers this summer, hoping
to inspire life-long readers.
The Summer Reading
Program at Lassen Library is
spanning multiple weeks
with various activities and
lessons for youth, grades
kindergarten to sixth grade.
“The purpose of the event
is to really spark a love for
reading,” said the library’s
new director, Deb Probst.
Kicking off the program,
on Thursday, June 23, local
youth filled the conference
room of the library, which
temporarily served as the
Brazilian Rainforest. With
flowers, vines and animals
transforming the room,
participants were able to
immerse themselves in the
stories “The Great Kapok
Tree” and “If I Ran the Rain
Forest,” which were read by
library staff member Josie
Barnes.
The first segment of the
program was meant to get
youth interested in the
Olympics, which is taking
place in Brazil this coming
August. All following
meetings will have a
different theme and will be
organized by various library
staff members.
The program will run from
9:30 to 11 a.m. on Thursdays
through July 14, with the
finale taking place at
Memorial Park from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. on July 28. The
program is skipping a week
due to fair.
On Thursday, June 30,
participating youth will get
to paint the windows of the
library, while various art
books are highlighted at the
event.
On July 7, participants will
get to Putt for the Win, by
decorating golf balls and
playing mini golf throughout
the library.
On July 14, youth will
participate in the event, with
the theme Blast to the Past.
Ending the program,
participants can head to
Memorial Park for a picnic
party, where they can eat and
play games in their own
Olympics. All participants
will get to win their own
medal.
Each day of the program
will include a craft, and
participants will be able to
get free children’s books.
Probst said the program,
which has been running for
many years, helps bridge the
learning gap students
encounter in the summer
months between school
years.
There is no limit for how
many children can
participate in the program.
However, while the library
has the program for youth, it
has endless opportunities for
readers and residents.
According to Probst, there
are 17 computers in the
library open to residents to
use, Internet included.
There is also a large young
adult area, complete with a
sitting lounge, computers
and popular young adult
novels.
Additionally, the Zip
Program through the library
allows readers to get a book,
which is not stocked locally,
shipped directly to them
from Amazon. After they
finish reading it, they bring
it back to the library for
others to read.
“I’m not sure many people
realize we have all this for
them,” said Probst.
There are other programs
at the library as well, such as
Zinio Books, which allows
library members to access a
wide array of magazines in
the library and even at home
on digital devices.
Helping the library with
various programs and
devices is the Friends of the
Library group, a nonprofit,
which helps raise funds.
Currently, the Friends of the
Library group is holding a
member drive, and interested
locals can either stop by the
library to learn more or they
can visit the library website
lassenlibrary.org.
The library is open 11 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through
Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. Saturday.
At the Janesville Union Elementary School Board of
Trustees meeting Tuesday, June 21, the board approved

School adopts curricula
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
[email protected]
June 21, a public hearing was
held to decide whether or not
to adopt a new English and
language arts curriculum.
Teachers Diana Bailey,
Lesli Bray and Lara Amrein
all proposed the board
approve and adopt
“California Wonders” for
kindergarten through fifth
grade and “California Study
Sync” for sixth through
eighth grade. Both were
published by McGraw Hill.
“I would sure like to see us
adopt this program,” said
Bray.
After hearing the teachers
thoughts on the curriculum
the board approved the
adoption of a new English
and language arts
curriculum.
“I wouldn’t want us to be
the only school in the county
that doesn’t adopt,” said
Bray. “It will give the other
schools a leg up in test
scores.”
Bailey said she felt the
“California Study Sync” was
the best choice for sixth,
seventh and eighth grades.
Bailey felt that not all of
the curriculums available for
adoption were age
appropriate.
“Some almost entirely
online and others didn’t have
enough rigor to offer seventh
and eighth grade students,”
said Bailey.
All three teachers agreed
that the curriculum offered a
good writing and grammar
section that could help with
their high school years.
“In high school you’re
expected to know how to
annotate a book,” said
Amrein.
Three out of four board
members were present at the
meeting and the decision was
unanimous.

Queen: Hannah Lambach
There might have only
been one contestant for Silver
Buckle Rodeo Queen this
year, but that doesn’t mean it
was an easy process.
“Usually, as part of
choosing the queen, the
contestants are made to do a
little walking, trotting or
circling — with their horses
— but since Misty Banchio
knows I can ride, she made it
harder,” said Silver Buckle
Rodeo Queen contestant
Hannah Lambach.
Lambach, 16, a Greenville
High School student who has
been active with the Indian
Valley Roping and Riding
Club and competed in the
rodeo the last five years,
decided this year she wanted
to take it up a notch and
compete for the queen title.
Lambach saw the
competition as a chance to
spread the word about the
Silver Buckle Rodeo when
she goes to rodeos around the
state. “We need to get the
word out about our rodeo,”
Lambach said.
Attendance of the annual
4th of July event has been
Coronation at the
Taylorsville Rodeo
Grounds, Monday,
July 4, at 1 p.m.
down in recent years and
Lambach wants to take the
opportunity as queen to get
the word out about her
community.
“If you’re queen you get to
go out there with your horse
and sash and have people
take notice of where you
come from and the rodeo you
represent,” said Lambach.
The queen’s duties also
include attending all the
meetings, making new flags
and performing community
service on behalf of the club.
Recently she gave out the IV
Roping and Riding club
scholarship at the Greenville
High School graduation.
Lambach rides two to three
hours a day, three days a
week, after school and on the
weekends to keep in good
condition for competitions.
When not practicing for
rodeo, Lambach also enjoys
basketball, volleyball and
hiking.

“Being crowned the 2015-2016 Silver Buckle Rodeo Queen was
one of the best things that I have ever experienced, to be able to
represent not only the Indian Valley Riding and Roping Club,
but also the Taylorsville Silver Buckle Rodeo was extremely

meet new people, people that I will never forget. I am so
thankful. Thank you everyone for making this past year so
amazing and memorable.”

Celebrate our independence,
but be fireworks safe this
Fourth of July weekend
Memorial Day launches the summer
season in our great land, and by the time
the Fourth of July holiday arrives,
Americans’ determination to take full
advantage of summer rises hotter,
higher and faster than the silvery
mercury trapped in a backyard
thermometer.
Come the Fourth of July and Lassen
County residents and visitors to our
corner of Northeastern California alike
can celebrate the
holiday weekend in a
DITORIAL
variety of ways.
But beware — Safe
and Sane Fireworks may be used within
the city of Susanville only between 6
a.m. Monday, July 4 through 2 a.m.
Tuesday, July 5. Many local residents
and their families go to commercial
parking lots on Main Street to use their
Safe and Sane Fireworks. Any other use
of fireworks in Lassen County — on
private, state or federal land — is
prohibited and illegal. And any Safe and
Sane Firework that is modified to make
it a dangerous firework also is illegal.
Those who start fires with fireworks may
be liable for the fire suppressions costs.
Safe and Sane Fireworks just aren’t
enough for some folks. Looking for some
louder bangs and even bigger
explosions? Don’t miss the free fireworks
show that begins about 9:30 p.m. Monday,
July 4 after the stock car races at
Diamond Mountain Speedway. The fair’s
fireworks show always features a
spectacular finale you won’t want to
miss.
Many will take to the great outdoors as
our lakes, streams and wilderness as the
call of wild beckons those who need a
dose of wilderness or a little visit to the
water or a woods fix.
Rock the Lake, featuring Lassen
County’s most enduring rock band,
Rockasaurus, arrives at the Eagle Lake
Marina from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, July 2.
In Spalding, at the other end of Eagle
Lake, California Inland Fisheries,
Project Eagle Lake Trout and the Eagle
Lake RV Park host a Fourth of July
celebration that features activities for
the entire family including a horseshoe
tournament, casting contests for the
kids, a raffle and a live auction.
Ready for a little patriotism on the
Fourth of July? Tim Noxon, an Eagle
Lake Fishing guide, passes out about 200
kazoos and asks the crowd to join him
for “The Star Spangled Banner.” It’s an
incredible but patriotic noise.
And you won’t want to miss the Global
War on Terror Wall of Remembrance at
the Lassen County Fairgrounds
Thursday, June 30 through Monday, July
4.
And the American Legion Eagle Lake
Post No. 162 hosts a Fourth of July
Parade — the only Fourth of July parade
in all of Lassen County — at 2 p.m. with
a big barbecue to follow.
While the Fourth of July weekend
offers lots of opportunities for summer
fun, it also poses dangers.
Don’t drink and drive — the statistics
are sobering. The good news is since 1982
drunk driving fatalities have decreased
52 percent while total traffic fatalities
have decreased nearly 24 percent. The
bad news is those positive statistics
won’t mean a thing if you or your loved
ones are involved in an alcohol related
crash.

OPINIONS
Never overlook the value of volunteering
I have been thinking about volunteers
lately … a thought triggered by the parade
theme for the 2016 Paul Bunyan Mountain
and Blues Festival— Volunteerism: The
Driving Force of Our Community.
When Lana Beal, a member of the
Westwood Chamber board, announced the
theme during a planning meeting it was
obvious the festival was volunteer-driven.
One board member promised to distribute
event posters throughout the region; another
would clear weeds at the Lassen County
Visitor Center-Westwood Station to prepare
for the street dance the night before the
festival; a community member said he would
change the lights that were out in the parking
lot where the dance is held. There are of
course more tasks, great and small, that
makes the festival successful.
Other volunteer-driven events are part of
the festival weekend. The Fun Run/Walk,
(which takes place at 8 a.m. Saturday, July 2,
the morning of the festival), is organized by
Jon and Emily Foy, who volunteer their time
to this event that raises funds for the local
library.
All the cooks and servers at the Log Camp
Breakfast held at the community center that
morning also volunteer in order to raise
funds for the Westwood Museum.
The Paul Bunyan Mountain and Blues
Festival is not unique. Many events and
activities that take place in Westwood only
occur because community members take part
and this is most likely true of every
community. Take note and a very long list
IT’S MY TURN
SUSAN CORT JOHNSON

will soon be compiled.
The past two years, the board of trustees
for the Westwood Unified School District has
given a volunteer of the year award to
recognize individuals who devote time to the
students at the school helping in various
ways. The first year Ken Sawyer was honored
and the second Patty Bennett.
The Westwood Community Library exists
because volunteers open the doors and
organize the books; the Westwood Museum
exists because volunteers have created
exhibits and tracked the history of Westwood
and docents set aside a day to show the
artifacts to visitors; the Westwood Rotary
exists because people join for the sole
purpose of serving their community;
Westwood Little League exists because
community members and parents volunteer
to coach and take part; The Chimney Fund
exists because volunteers respond to the need
to pack boxes with the ingredients for a
festive meal so families can enjoy
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
The new Friday Night Market in Westwood
takes place because Jennifer Mason stepped
forward to organize the vendors and oversee
the details. Many families have attended the
Westwood Rotary Easter Egg Hunt for many
generations without much thought to the
hours that went into dyeing the eggs. Sheila
Oxford and Connie Medici, the inspiration for
the theme of the Paul Bunyan Festival Parade
and the Grand Marshals, faithfully completed
the task.
Faithfulness is an important attribute of a
volunteer. They are people who faithfully
make themselves available; they can be
counted on; they are people who keep their
word; they are people who are committed.
They understand that volunteering is not
something you do with free time, it is
something for which you make time.
Then there are those who quietly bring food
to a sick neighbor; help the elderly pull the
weeds in their garden each spring and shovel
snow in the winter; and provide
transportation to an appointment for
someone who doesn’t own a car.
The purpose of this article is not to make
mention of each and every volunteer, but to
appreciate the value of volunteerism. Those
who volunteer create and shape a community.
They are immeasurably valuable.
Unseen war still wages for many veterans
WHERE I STAND
DANIEL G. AMEN, M.D.
CLINICAL NEUROSCIENTIST
MAX CLELAND
U.S. SENATOR
Most people probably think
wars end when the shooting
stops.
But that’s not the case for those
who do the fighting. For them,
the war lives on long after they
return home and try to resume
normal lives.
One of us, Max Cleland, knows
from experience. He lost both legs
and his right arm to a grenade
explosion in Vietnam in the
1960s. Even after the physical
injuries healed, even after the
rehabilitation was over, the
emotional anguish continued.
And in truth, nearly 50 years
later, that aspect still hasn’t
completely healed.
Sadly, today as military men
and women return home from
war zones, there’s still plenty of
room for improvement in mental
heath care for veterans. The
suicide rate is unacceptably high
and the success rates for PTSD,
depression and anxiety disorders
haven’t improved in years.
Meanwhile, veterans, their
families and society as whole will
be dealing with the fallout from
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
for another 70 years — at least.
PTSD, depression and traumatic
brain injuries all increase the
risk of Alzheimer’s disease and
other forms of dementia.
That’s why the U.S. must do
whatever it can to improve
mental health care for those
injured in war. It’s a moral
obligation.
From firsthand experience,
Cleland can tell you that the
treatment path can be slow,
frustrating and sometimes
terrifying. Often those treatments
are ineffective, and that can be
demoralizing and make those
who suffer reluctant to seek
further care.
There are also practical
problems. Many veterans
wounded in wars can’t undergo a
brain MRI because of the
shrapnel in their bodies. CT
scans are possible, but they don’t
show the full picture of what’s
happening with the brain.
But an alternative is emerging.
An imaging study called SPECT
(single photon emission
computed tomography) measures
how well blood flows through the
brain and can be performed
safely on veterans who have
shrapnel.
Two recent studies, one with
196 veterans and another with
more than 20,000 patients,
reported that SPECT could
distinguish between PTSD and
TBI with clinically significant
accuracy. Discover Magazine
highlighted the study with the
larger number of patients, led by
Dr. Amen, as one of the Top 100
Stories in Science for 2015.

Tax meat
Philadelphia recently passed a
sin tax on soda, which is intended
to help pay for city programs.
Other cities could help raise
revenue — and save animals and
the environment — by levying a
tax on meat and other animalbased foods.
According to the United
Nations, the production of
animal-based foods requires more
resources and causes more
greenhouse-gas emissions than
the production of plant-based
foods.
A recent study shows that
eating just one eight-ounce steak
has the same environmental
impact as driving a car for 29
miles.
If local governments were to
levy a 10-cent tax on every pound
of meat — and a modest tax on
each dairy item and carton of
eggs — it would give consumers
yet another incentive to eat tasty
vegan foods, which are relatively
inexpensive compared to meat,
eggs and dairy products,
especially if you factor in all the
medical bills you can rack up if
you eat a lot of fatty, cholesterolladen animal-based foods.

free vegan starter kit, visit

PETA Foundation
Being able to distinguish
between PTSD and TBI is
important because they can have
overlapping symptoms, such as
insomnia, anxiety, depression
and concentration problems. But
the treatments for them are
different. Some treatments that
help people with PTSD can
actually be harmful to those with
TBI.
The results of a SPECT scan
also might give veterans who
suffer from these conditions a
new perspective on themselves.
Fewer than half of people with
mental health problems ever seek
help. One major reason: No one
wants to be labeled mentally ill,
defective or abnormal.
This is especially true in the
military where bravery and selfreliance are highly valued, and
many believe that asking for help
is a sign of weakness, or even a
moral failing.
Seeing their own abnormal
functional scans could help these
veterans reframe their problems
as brain-based and medical,
rather than as moral, decreasing
the shame and the stigma. At
least that’s how it worked for
Cleland, who had a SPECT scan
that showed evidence of both
PTSD and TBI.
In addition, knowing that the
structure of the brain is normal,
but the function abnormal, can
give them hope that they could
get better if they are diligent
about rehabilitation.
So consider this: What if we re-

Considerate fireworks
As the Independence Day
holiday approaches, Phantom
Fireworks would like to remind its
customers, friends and all those
who use consumer fireworks to be
mindful of the fact that some
veterans can be startled and upset
by the noise of fireworks.
Chelsey Zoldan, M.S. Ed., a
licensed clinical mental health
counselor and special consultant
to Phantom Fireworks, advises
that there is the potential for some
E D I TO R
veterans to be reminded of
combat situations when they hear
the loud sounds of gunfire and/or
fireworks.
Combat veteran Henry Jiminez,
on a broadcast news piece aired

unexpected blasts to be the worst.
He said sometimes upon hearing
the unexpected fireworks blasts,
he drops down and puts hands

of the unexpected fireworks
booms could cause some veterans
increased anxiety, which could be
difficult and challenging to them.
Phantom Fireworks suggests
that those who intend to shoot
consumer fireworks in a
neighborhood should contact their
neighbors to let them know what
they plan to do so those combat
veterans who might be affected by
the fireworks have the
opportunity to take steps to avoid
the unintended consequences.
Some veterans actually put
signs in their front yards, asking
for consideration from neighbors
when using fireworks. Signs for
veterans are available at
militarywithptsd.org/shop/vetera
n-firework-sign/.
According to Zoldan, the bottom
line is that giving veterans a
heads up that you will be lighting
fireworks seems to be the most
helpful.
Vets aren’t necessarily scared of
or by the noises, but the
unexpectedness can trigger
unwanted symptoms and distress.
Please enjoy the Independence
Day holiday safely, and please
show courtesy to those military
veterans who served so your
freedoms would be protected.

COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES
A government no-fly list will damage Bill of Rights
WHERE I STAND
HAROLD PEASE, PH.D
CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERT
“No one on the
government’s no-fly list
should be able to purchase a
firearm,” was the immediate
response from both Hillary
Clinton and President
Barack Obama to the
massacre in an LGBT
nightclub in Orlando, Florida
by radical Muslim extremist
Omar Mateen.
Perhaps even Donald
Trump, the presumptive
Republic nominee for
president who plans to meet
with the NRA to talk about
the no-fly list, could be
vacillating on this issue.
Moreover, nine senators led
by Republican Susan Collins,
want the no-fly list to apply
to purchasing firearms as
well. They all need to be
reminded that there exist
serious Bill of Rights
concerns in doing so.
The president refers to
those on the list he creates as
terrorist suspects, but
terrorist is only loosely
defined. Both Vice President
Joe Biden and former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi have
used the word in reference to
the Tea Party movement.
How many are listed varies
with respect to who one cites
but it is many
thousands. Everything is so
clouded in government
secrecy that virtually no one
knows how he or she got on
or get off the list. Should you
inquire as to your status
with respect to the list the
typical answer is, “as a
national security issue the
government can neither
confirm nor deny your
listing.”
George W. Bush created the
no-fly list after 9/11, which
today forbids perhaps as
many as 80,000 from flying in
or out of the country.
Whether maintained by Bush
or Obama, a secret no-fly list
for U.S. citizens is a
restriction on someone
because of a perceived belief,
practice or action (a
punishment if you will)
applied without any evidence
of unlawful behavior — he
may not fly. If there had been
unlawful behavior the person
would be incarcerated and
the issue of a no-fly list
would be irrelevant. A
second punishment is
applied if he is also denied
the right of a firearm. This
turns upside down the
judicial standard, “innocent
until proven guilty.”
Remember U.S. Senator
Ted Kennedy was once on the
government’s no-fly list as
was a six-year-old boy, a
number of persons over 80
years of age, and an 18month old toddler Reianna
(last name not given in the
CNN report to protect family
identity). The accused rarely
is informed of the
government’s intention to
punish him until he attempts
to fly and is forbidden doing
so.
No-fly restrictions violate
Amendment 5, as the accused
is denied “liberty” (he
cannot fly as do others)
“without due process of
law”—a way to challenge the
punishment. The
amendment guarantees the
person the right to be
accused before punishment,
but no accusation was made
nor was evidence presented
to anyone outside the
government to evaluate, such
as to a jury. States too, in
Amendment 14, are
forbidden the same in
similar wordage, “…nor shall
any state deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of
law….”
It also violates Amendment
6, which guarantees the
accused of his right “to be
informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be
confronted with the
witnesses against him; to
have compulsory process for
obtaining witnesses in his
favor, and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his
defense.” None of this
happens for the no-fly list
people as the government
has already effectively
convicted and rendered
punishment, sometimes
indefinitely.
Should Congress adhere to
the Obama/Clinton, and
perhaps Trump, request to
“make sure no one on a nofly list is able to buy a gun”
they will amplify the already
existing constitutional
infractions of Amendments
5, 6 and 14 and keep

Rocket nose cones, bombs, and artillery
shells were on display around the depot’s old

Affairs Officer Larry Rogers.
Rogers has been busy building an
interesting collection of Korean and
Vietnam War era military weapons, as well

A young Susanville Marine currently
serving in Iraq with Company W, 1st
Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, was
attacked with small arms fire and a roadside
bomb while his unit conducted a mission on
June 11.
The company’s 5th Mobile Assault Platoon
received a lone shot midway through a
presence patrol conducted through
neighborhoods of Ar Ramadi, in the
southern portion of Al Anbar’s capital in the
heart of the Sunni Triangle.
Luckily it missed its target — Private First
Class Travis T. Fitzpatrick.

Based on records and data kept by one
local resident, Eagle Lake’s water level will
drop to a historic low this summer.
Doc Bateson measured the water level at
5,091.83 feet on June 20, which he said is
down four inches from three weeks prior.
“If it continues at that rate, it will break
that all-time record by Aug. 5,” he said.
FOURTH, from page 8B
Traffic Safety
Administration, 33,561 people
died in traffic crashes in 2012
including an estimated 10,076
people killed in drunk
driving crashes. According to
the statistics, 6,688 of those
victims were drivers (65
percent), 2,824 were
passengers (27 percent) and
810 were not in the vehicle (8
percent).
As everyone knows,
thousands of lawful
Americans from protecting
themselves with arms.
Amendment 2 guarantees
“the right of the people to
keep and bear arms,” and
certifies that this right “shall
not be infringed.” This too
would be violated for 80,000
persons without any real
evidence of wrongdoing.
Moreover, even if such a
law were passed it is well to
remember that—a mere
law—cannot trump a
constitutional amendment—
most especially four
amendments, as using a nofly list to prohibit purchase
of a firearm would do. The
only constitutional way that
Obama, Clinton, or possibly
Trump can change these
amendments is with a new
constitutional amendment,
which a president cannot
constitutionally initiate (see
Article V).
Remember too, a
government secret list of
“bad guys,” has already been
used by the Obama
administration to punish his
political enemies. The IRS
used such a list to punish
perhaps 200 Tea Party
Organizations. Louis Lerner,
one of those most
responsible for doing so, pled
the Fifth Amendment to
avoid perjuring herself.
Hillary Clinton, the least
trusted presidential
candidate in U.S. History,
used every government
organization at her disposal
to punish or vilify the
women who had affairs with
her husband while he served
as governor of Arkansas and
president of the U.S. With
her personal integrity
ratings so low it would be
expected that she would use
a no-fly law against her
political enemies.
Hopefully, presidential
candidate Trump will not
take too long to see the
damage to the Bill of Rights
by the proposed no-fly
legislation and use his
influence to defeat it.
On poverty, militarism
and our public schools
WHERE I STAND
ROBERT C. KOEHLER
JOURNALIST AND EDITOR
PEACEVOICE
What’s the difference
between education and
obedience? If you see very
little, you probably have no
problem with the
militarization of the
American school system —
or rather, the militarization
of the impoverished schools,
the ones that can’t afford
new textbooks or functional
plumbing, much less art
supplies or band equipment.
My town, Chicago, is a case
study in this national trend.
The Pentagon has been
eyeing these schools —
broken and gang-ridden —
for a decade now, and seeing
its future there. It comes in
like a cammy-clad Santa,
bringing money and
discipline. In return it gets
young minds to shape, to (I
fear) possess: to turn into the
next generation of soldiers,
available for the coming
wars.
The United States no
longer has a draft because
the nation no longer believes
in war, except abstractly, as
background noise. But it has
an economic draft: It claims
recruits largely from the
neighborhoods of
hopelessness. Joining the
U.S. military is the only
opportunity available to
millions of young Americans
to escape poverty. We have no
government programs to
build the infrastructure of
peace and environmental
sustainability — we can’t
afford that, so it has to
happen on its own (or not at
all) — but our military
marches on, funded at more
than half a trillion dollars a
year, into ever more
pointless wars of aggression.
Glory, glory, hallelujah. I’d
never been to a Memorial
Day parade in my life, but I
went to this year’s parade in
downtown Chicago because
members of the Chicago
chapter of Veterans for
Peace were going to be there,
protesting the militarization
of the city’s schools.
I arrived as the parade was
still assembling itself along
Wacker Drive. What I saw,
along with the Humvees and
the floats (Gold Star Families
of the Fallen, Paralyzed
Veterans of America:
Making a difference for 70
years) were thousands of
young people — mostly kids
of color, of course —
bedecked in various
uniforms, standing in
formation as martial music
erupted sporadically, driven
by the drumbeat of certainty.
Some of the boys and girls
seemed as young as 10 or 11.
One boy walked past me
twirling a rifle like it was a
baton. Was it real? Was it
loaded?
The concept of America is
a totally military
phenomenon, I thought as I
walked along the parade
route. This is what holds it
together, not culturally, but
as a legally organized entity.
The flags, the rifles, the
Humvees, the names of the
dead and the uniformed
children. For a moment I
wondered if I could continue
calling myself an American.
Then I met up with
the Vets for Peace people at
State and Lake — a small
group of men and women
handing out stickers that
read: “No military in
Chicago Public Schools.
Education, not
militarization.”
“The idea is, just by being
here, we’re having people
stop for a moment and think
about the militarization of
Chicago schools,” Kevin
Merwin told me. “There’s
opposition to the wholesale
militarization of youth in

alcohol and boating also
make a bad match. Almost
half of all boating accidents
involve alcohol. Here’s a
sobering statistic. According
to the U.S. Coast Guard a
boat operator with a .10
percent blood alcohol
concentration or higher is 10
times more likely to be killed
in a boating accident that a
boater who has not been
drinking.
We encourage you to enjoy
the holiday and celebrate our
independence, but be safe
and responsible.

PERSPECTIVES
Helen Keller: Socialist, pacifist, rights activist
WHERE I STAND
RIVERA SUN
AUTHOR / ACTIVIST
The name Helen Keller
conjures up, for many people,
a deaf-blind-mute girl
learning to communicate via
sign language. It is a scene
straight out of “The Miracle
Worker,” the biographical
play recounting Anne
Sullivan’s role in reaching
young Helen Keller. However,
the amazing part of Keller’s
story is not that the way she
learned to fingerspell W-A-TE-R, but what she chose to
say once she could sign, read
Braille, write, and speak.
Helen Keller is one of the
most beloved figures in
American history. Few
people, however, remember
her as a socialist, pacifist,
and activist. Wikipedia
reports, “A prolific author,
Keller was well-traveled and
outspoken in her
convictions. A member of
the Socialist Party of
America and the Industrial
Workers of the World, she
campaigned for women’s
suffrage, labor rights,
socialism, and other similar
causes.”
Keller was celebrated as a
miracle, but her intelligent
and articulate views and
opinions were denounced as
irrational, misguided
thinking that came as the
result of her afflictions.
Keller railed against these
charges. Responding to one
attack in the Brooklyn Eagle,
she wrote:
“At [one] time the
compliments he paid me
were so generous that I blush
to remember them. But now
that I have come out for
socialism he reminds the
public and me that I am
blind and deaf and especially
liable to error. I must have
shrunk in intelligence
during the years since I met
him. ... Oh, ridiculous
Brooklyn Eagle! Socially
blind and deaf, it defends an
intolerable system, a system
that is the cause of much of
the physical blindness and
deafness which we are trying
to prevent.”
Keller was highly adept at
connecting the dots between
the issues, understanding
the relationship of war and
militarism to economic
injustice and the abuse of
women, workers, children,
and others. She also
understood the power of
nonviolent struggle, no
cooperation, and organized
direct action.
In her famous 1916 “Strike
Against War” speech, Keller
said to the workers of the
nation, “It is in your power
to refuse to carry the
artillery and the
dreadnoughts and to shake
off some of the burdens, too,
such as limousines, steam
yachts, and country estates.
You do not need to make a
great noise about it. With the
silence and dignity of
creators you can end wars
and the system of
Chicago. It’s the most
militarized school system in
the country, if not the
world.”
Indeed, according to various
sources, there are between
9,000 and 10,000 young people
in the
Pentagon’s JROTC program,
with “military academies” —
often in spite of furious
community opposition —
taking over portions of 45 of
the city’s 104 high schools.
“Kids in seventh grade are
being rolled up into this
Memorial Day parade,”
Merwin said. “We’re
inculcating kids into the
military system at a young
age — the kind of thing we
criticized the Soviet Union
for back in the day. And it’s
mostly kids of color.”
Ann Jones, addressing this
hypocrisy, pointed out in an
excellent essay that Congress
actually passed an act in 2008
— the Child Soldiers
Prevention Act — that was
“designed to protect kids
worldwide from being forced
TOM H. HASTINGS
PEACEVOICE
to fight the wars of Big Men.
From then on, any country
that coerced children into
becoming soldiers was
supposed to lose all U.S.
military aid.”
However, not surprisingly,
the economic interests of the
military-industrial complex
eventually gutted the
intention of this rare bit of
compassionate legislation.
Five of the 10 countries on
the child-solider list, Chad,
South Sudan, Yemen, the
Democratic Republic of the
Congo and Somalia, have
been granted waivers so they
can continue to purchase
American weapons.
“Too bad for the young —
and the future — of those
countries,” Jones wrote. “But
look at it this way: Why
should Washington help the
children of Sudan or Yemen
escape war when it spares no
expense right here at home
to press our own
impressionable, idealistic,
ambitious American kids
into military ‘service’?
“It should be no secret that
the United States has the
biggest, most efficiently
organized, most effective
system for recruiting child
soldiers in the world.”
Those who want to
perpetuate the military
mindset — that is to say, the
servants of the most
powerful economic interests
in the country — have to
grab the minds of the young,
because only in one’s youth
does militarism resonate
with uncontaminated glory.
This is why the
Army maintains a gamer
website. And it’s why every
branch of military service
sets up shop in our most
desperate schools and
parades the Junior ROTC
boys and girls before the
public on Memorial Day, our
national holiday in
celebration of arrested
development.

the relationship between
systems of injustice, and the
challenges of being deaf,
blind or mute. Keller clearly
saw that while she had lost
sight and hearing through
illness, many people were
becoming deaf or blind
through workplace injuries,
poverty-related sicknesses
and lack of access to
affordable healthcare. To
honor and commemorate her
life, find a way to work for

selfishness and exploitation
that causes wars. All you
need to do to bring about
this stupendous revolution is
to straighten up and fold
your arms.”
Helen Keller Day
commemorates her birth on
June 27,1880. On this day, one
way to honor her life and
legacy is to share the story of
her commitment to pacifism,
ending war, equality,
women’s rights, labor and
workers’ rights, suffrage,
and more. Remember her as
a woman who understood
Judge Merrick Garland,
chief judge of the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia, is
President Obama’s nominee,
as we all know for the vacant
seat on the U.S. Supreme
Court. The deadbeat
Republicans in the U.S.
Senate, using their usual
underhanded tricks, have
refused to even consider this
nominee or any other put
forth by the president. How
many things are wrong with
this stonewalling posture?
•We see the results—all
truly controversial issues of
great import go undecided by
the Supremes now because
they are at a 4-4 tie.
•Republican leadership is
virtually unanimous in being
factually woefully in error
that there is a rule or a
custom not to make such
nominations in the final year
of a presidency. This is
something that might be
unusual but hardly rare, and
presidents from Lyndon
Johnson to Herbert Hoover to
Woodrow Wilson to Dwight
Eisenhower and more have
all done so, some successfully
some not, all at least were
afforded a normal process.
•Republicans need to stop
calling President Obama a
lame duck. He is not. After
the election and before
inauguration is the lame
duck period. He is just a
sitting president currently
and he did his job finding a
nominee.
•By saying that a president
cannot do his job—that we
elected him to do twice—that
logic should ridiculously
extend to all elected officials
because they might not get
re-elected, so they
presumably can’t make any
decisions until we “let the
American people decide the
direction of the court.”
Instead of an early July 4
recess to avoid thinking
about banning assault
weapons, just recess until
next January, without your
obstructionist pay.
I personally wish President
Obama had nominated
someone with stronger
human rights, civil rights
and environmental protection
track record. But at the very
least, the Senate should do its
job and hold the hearings and
confirm or reject the Garland
nomination. The American
Bar Association gave the
judge its highest rating and
he was confirmed easily by a
bipartisan vote to the Circuit
Court.
President Obama was just
handed a defeat on shielding
the parents of dreamers from
deportation, a 4-4 tie by the
stymied Supremes that let
stand the ruling of a lower
court because that’s what a
tie vote does. This question —
and all others that are close
and controversial—cannot be
dispositively decided until
sometime in the distant
future after the election, after
inauguration, after
nomination, after hearings
and after possible
confirmation. Nice job,
Republicans, you scofflaw
dirty tricksters. I hope the
American people do indeed
decide the direction of the
court by voting you out.

If you have a child,
grandkid or even a friends’
child at home this summer,
pry them away from that
video game and send them to
Trust’s Nature Camp for
great outdoor adventures and
learning.
Participants at Nature
Camp will enjoy observing
wildlife, learning about
history, archaeology,
watersheds, geology, botany
and how to be safe in the outof-doors from resource
professionals. Our first
session is unique this year
and will offer swim lessons
taught by Janiska Nordstrom
at Lake Almanor.
Additionally, camp is always
a wonderful opportunity to
make new friends, learn new
skills and gain a greater
appreciation of our beautiful
Lassen County home.
Two sessions of day-camp
are being offered; our first
session includes swimming
lessons and is scheduled on
July 25 to 29, for children
ages 8-12. The second session
will include our classic
programming and is
scheduled on Aug. 1 to 5, for
children ages 8-12.
Registration for session
one (includes swim lessons)
contains a fee per child with
lunch and snacks provided.
Registration for Session 2
also has a fee and includes
lunch and snacks. A limited
number of scholarships are
available for families who
qualify. If you would like to
donate to the scholarship
fund, call the Trust at 2573252. Our thanks go out to
Lassen Municipal Utility
District, a generous
supporter of Nature Camp,
and to the Lassen County
Transportation Commission
for our special charter.
To register, visit the Lassen
Land and Trails Trust
website at

LNF prepares for holiday weekend
All Lassen National Forest
offices will be closed on
Monday, July 4 in observance
of the Independence Day
holiday. Forest service
offices will resume normal
business hours on Tuesday,
July 5.
Throughout the holiday
weekend, residents of and
visitors to the forest –
especially those around Lake
Almanor – are asked to use
landlines to call 911 in the
event of an emergency. The
increased volume of cell
phone use during a holiday
weekend puts a strain on
rural telecommunication
systems. In the event of an
emergency, using a landline
is the best way to reach help.
Fire officials are
reminding area residents and
visitors to be careful with
fire and to leave fireworks at
home when they celebrate
Independence Day in the
national forests and on other
public lands. It is illegal to
possess or use fireworks in
national forests, national
parks and on public lands
managed by the Bureau of
Land Management.
Even following the wet
spring, conditions are drying
out quickly according to fire
officials. People need to take
care when camping, cutting
fuelwood and even driving in
the forest.
Lassen National Forest lies
at the crossroads of
California, where the granite
of the Sierra Nevada, the
lava of the Cascades and the
Modoc plateau and the
sagebrush of the Great Basin
meet. The forest is managed
for recreational access as
well as timber and firewood
for homes, forage for
livestock, water, minerals,
and other natural resources.

About 158 dancers participated in JandJ Performing Arts Wizard of Oz performances, June 17 and June 18. Photos by Makenzie Davis
JandJ Performing Arts seniors Courtney Beckman, left, Angel

JandJ dancers journey to Oz
Ashley Grogan
Special to the Times
With glittering costumes,
energetic dancers and hard
work, attendees were wowed
with the JandJ Performing
Arts recital.
On Friday, June 17 and
Saturday, June 18, JandJ
Performing Arts enchanted
the community by hosting its
dance interpretation of the
Wizard of Oz. More than
1,000 attended the two
performances held at Lassen
Community College.
Lassen County showed its
dedication to “keeping the
arts alive,” as JandJ owner
and artistic director Jessica
Newton-Wade commented
during her introduction
speech on Saturday.
The recital, composed of
the 158 dancers, began with
Dorothy, played by senior and
10-year JandJ dancer
Courtney Beckman,
performing a lyrical jazz solo
to “Somewhere Over the
Rainbow.”
The Modern Twisters
brought Beckman to the
second scene where Mommy
& Me dancers kicked off the
jazz and ballet introduction
to the Munchkins and
Lollipop Guild of Oz.
The Wicked Witch,
performed by Makinzie
Wheeler, made her first
appearance with the Ruby
Slipper Dancers. A sea of
bubble ballerinas welcomed
Wheeler, another 10-year
JandJ senior, disappeared
behind the scenes as Glinda
the Good Witch, played by
Katie Kennedy.
Scene three introduced
Scarecrow, represented by
soloist Luriah Hinshaw, with
a reminder from Taylor Swift
to shake off those who think
she has nothing in her brain.
Apple trees and yellow
bricks stunted and tumbled
as the apples led Dorothy to
Jessica Nobles as the
Tinman. Nobles showed off
her clogging once Beckman
helped her get all oiled up.
The crew was complete
once Cowardly Lion,
performed by senior soloist
and six year JandJ dancer
Angel Hammon, found her
way through the dangerous
Hip-Hop Forest.
In Scene Four, Wheeler and
Kennedy concluded the first
act with snow and poppies
performing ballet.
The Second Act introduced
the audience to the Emerald
City through jazz. AndiLane
Anderson, 8, represented
Sandra Horst’s new acting
program with a monologue
about dreams coming true.
Hammon then performed her
jazz solo to “Runaway.”
Scene 2 of Act II declared
the Wicked Witch as a force
to reckon with. Wheeler
began with her
contemporary modern solo to
“Kill and Run.” Modern and
hip-hop continued
throughout the act as flying
monkeys kidnapped
Beckman, Winkie Guards
tumbled and danced in sync,
and the Witches Crew
supported Wheeler in stunts
throughout the act.
Emily Bernard stunned the
audience with her vocal
performance of “Warrior,”
while modern dancers
reacted to the gifts bestowed
upon the crew by the Wizard.
Beckman, Hammon,
Hinshaw, Nobles and Wheeler
wrapped up the performance
with Idina Menzel’s “For
Good,” from the musical
“Wicked,” highlighting the
effects Dorothy and the
Wicked Witch have had on
each other’s lives.
Beckman, Hammon and
Wheeler all received
scholarships from JandJ
Performing Arts.
The money presented to
each dancer was gathered
from the funds raised via the
Lassen community. Beckman,
Hammon and Wheeler will be
attending Linfield College,
Oregon State University and
CSU Long Beach,
respectively, in the fall. These
three young women are also
Susanville City Kickettes and
have been involved with
JandJ’s Competitive Team.

Trustees ponder budget
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
[email protected]
June 21, Chief Business
Official Susan Junette
presented the proposed
budget for 2016 to 2017 school
year.
The budget will be
approved today at the
Tuesday, June 28 board
meeting. Junette said the
district’s revenue is based on
the average number of
students who attend classes
each day using the Local
Control Funding Formula.
Junette shared the 2016 and
2017 estimated revenue would
come from the LCFF, federal
revenue, other state and
other local revenue.
Junette said the largest
source of general fund
revenue is the LCFF. The
projected LCFF is $2,634,654.
In 2015/2016 the LCFF
funding was $2,540,808.
The total proposed budget
like us on
...and stay updated with the latest Lassen County news and sports!
revenue for the 2016 to 2017
year is expected to be around
$3,084,614.
Junette said the estimated
expenses for the 2016 and 2017
year includes certificated
salary, classified salary,
benefits, books and supplies,
services and other operating,
capital outlay, other outgo
and other outgo/ICR.
The total proposed budget
expenses for the 2016 and 2017
year is expected to be around
$3,218,359.
Junette said the ending
fund balances are comprised
of several components which
include economic
uncertainty, mandated costs
one time discretionary,
deferred maintenance, future
water tank repairs, MAA and
lottery.
continues to work with
stakeholders regarding the
LCAP program.
“The district must plan and
budget for how it plans on
using the supplemental grant
dollars to increase or
improve services for
unduplicated students,” said
Junette.
Junette said unduplicated
students are those that
qualify for free or reduced
priced meals, are designated
as English learners or qualify
as foster youth.
“Cash flow is estimated
using prior year figures and
percentages given by the
state,” said Junette. “It is
projected the district will
have enough cash reserves to
maintain a positive cash
balance throughout the 2016
to 2017 school year.”
Other funds that the
Janesville Union Elementary
School District has are the
cafeteria, deferred
maintenance, special
reserves, developer fees and
bond funds.
“It is recommended that
the board approve the 2016 to
2017 budget,” said Junette.
“The district will continue to
monitor the state budget and
report on cash flow and any
significant budget changes
that occur.”

Grizzly Claybreakers clinch third place
Six of our Lassen Grizzly
Claybreakers made the four
and a half hour trek to
Stockton last weekend to
shoot in the California
Youth Shooting Sports
Association State Finals.
The conditions were hot
and windy, but the team held
together for a third place
finish and won a very
handsome finals trophy.
There were 380 contestants
at the shoot, representing
every school and gun club in
California.
The Grizzlies also
accepted their year-end
series shoot award of first
place with a season record of
five first place finishes and
one second place finish.
The team was led by
Justin Giusti, captain,
breaking 188 targets out of
200, followed by Wyatt
Bollinger, graduating senior,

Spalding, sophomore, with
164.

together enough for their
team to bring the third place
trophy back to Lassen
County.
Phil Giusti, head coach,
could not have been prouder
of his team. “They had to
overcome some obstacles to
win with 380 shooters, and
their team being
shorthanded, but each and
every one of them kept
going and going and got the
job done,” he said.
The team sends best
wishes to fellow shooters
Gunnar Sherman, who had
to undergo ear surgery, and
Noah Jones, who was chosen
to attend California Boys
State, sponsored by the
American Legion, so
consequently both had to
miss the finals. The team is
looking forward to having
them and their guns back
next year.

Everything you wanted to know about stoneflies
Michael Condon
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Stoneflies are somewhat
prehistoric looking insects
that inhabit most of our local
streams.
Stonefly nymphs live on
the river or stream bottom,
crawling on and around
sticks and rocks to get food
and take shelter from their
many predators. As a group
in general, stoneflies require
well oxygenated, high quality
water, making their prime
habitat fast, riffled stretches
of pristine river.
Residing on a half-sunken
stick or submerged tree
branch is one of the
stoneflies nymphs’ favorite
hiding spots, but these types
of structures are not always
the safest places for these
aquatic critters. Being
washed free from their cover
or being caught in the
current isn’t unusual for
stoneflies nymphs, making
them very vulnerable to
hungry fish.
During the normal course
of their underwater life,
stonefly nymphs have to
avoid many potential
downfalls, but the danger
from hungry fish is
especially heightened in the
spring when the mature
nymphs migrate towards
shore to molt and become an
adult. If a nymph is able to
reach the shore, it will climb
out on the surrounding
rocks, grass or tree branches,
and emerge into an adult.
Fortunately for fish, many
nymphs are not so lucky.
They are knocked loose and
drift helplessly to the hungry
fish waiting below. As the
migration of stonefly
nymphs heightens, trout key
in on this very quickly and
wait along the edges of the
shallows to feed on these
tasty morels trying to escape
to the banks of the river.
In nature, when a stonefly
nymph becomes dislodged
from a stick, the nymphs
tumble across the bottom out
of control. Very rarely do
these aquatic insects allow
themselves to be found
higher in the water column
seeing as this would put
them in grave danger.
Therefore, as educated fly
anglers, presenting your flies
on or near the bottom is a
must to get a consistent bite
from fish.
Getting your fly down to
the bottom of the river as
fast as possible can be
accomplished in a few
different ways. The best
technique to allow your fly to
sink fast is to heavily-weight
the fly you intend on fishing
and using a light 2X or 3X
tippet.
The combination of a
weighted fly and a light
tippet will allow the fly to
sink fast by not having
excessive water tension
working on the tippet. A
forward-floating line and
some sort of a strike
indicator is a good addition
to this system seeing as this
will allow the angler the best
opportunity to present the fly
to the target and see takes
from fish.
Grandpa Louie takes his grandson Zac out for a day of fishing
with Bryan Raccucci, of Big Daddy’s Guide Service. This beautiful
rainbow trout was Zac’s first trout. He followed it up with an
equally large brown trout before the trip was over.

and other common designation, if any,
shown herein. Said sale will be made
without covenant or warranty, express or
implied, regarding title, possession, or
encumbrances, to pay the remaining
principal sum of the Note(s) secured by
said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon,
as provided in said Note(s), advances if
any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust,
estimated fees, charges and expenses of
the Trustee and of the trusts created by
said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the
unpaid balance of the obligations secured
by the property to be sold and reasonable
estimated costs, expenses and advances
at the time of the initial publication of this
Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be
$115,214.03 (Estimated). However,
prepayment premiums, accrued interest
and advances will increase this figure prior
to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may
include all or part of said amount. In
addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a
cashier’s check drawn on a state or
national bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union or a check drawn by a
state or federal savings and loan
association, savings association or savings
bank specified in Section 5102 of the
California Financial Code and authorized to
do business in California, or other such
funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.
In the event tender other than cash is
accepted, the Trustee may withhold the
issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale
until funds become available to the payee
or endorsee as a matter of right. The
property offered for sale excludes all funds
held on account by the property receiver, if
applicable. If the Trustee is unable to
convey title for any reason, the successful
bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall
be the return of monies paid to the Trustee
and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. Notice to Potential
Bidders If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at a
Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a
lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a Trustee auction does not
automatically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should also
be aware that the lien being auctioned off
may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the existence,
priority, and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder’s office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult
either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same Lender may hold
more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust
on the property. Notice to Property Owner
The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires that
information about Trustee Sale
postponements be made available to you
and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been

Weekly Cribbage
Club in Graeagle
Card playing enthusiasts
who enjoy the competitive
game of cribbage will be
interested in knowing that a
new grass roots club is
forming in the Graeagle
area.
Organizer Doug Rodrigues
said the group will be called
The Cribbage Peggers and
will meet every Saturday at
Anton’s Grille in Blairsden.
Their first tournament was
held June 25. They play a
nine-game singles
tournament with prize
money for the first, second
and third place finishers.
Registration is at 10:45 a.m.
and play begins promptly at
11 a.m.
Rodrigues explained how
the club would divide the $11
entry fee to play each week.
Ten dollars of that will be
divided between the three
top winners with the
MIKE TABORSKI
PUBLISHER
[email protected]
remaining dollar set aside in
an accumulating prize fund
for four-of-a-kind hands, 24point hands, perfect 29-point
hands and for anyone with
the luck and skill to nail
what Rodrigues considers
the game’s grand slam —
which consists of winning
all 11 games.
He hopes to have this
grassroots club sanctioned
by the American Cribbage
Congress by September so
players can earn points each
time towards their national
standings.
Rodrigues at 836-4254. All
cribbage players are invited
to play as their Saturday
schedule permits.
