Susanville residents buried
under piles and piles of
California Redemption Value
cans, bottles and plastic
containers can finally rejoice
— CalRecycle has approve a
new recycling center that
will open for business next
Tuesday.
“CalRecycle is pleased a
qualified applicant has been
certified to operate in
Susanville and hopeful this
will help meet the needs of
area residents who seek
recycling refunds for their
California Redemption Value
beverage containers,” said
Mark Oldfield, CalRecycle’s
communications director.
Nick Roetto, of Big Foot
Recycling, a company that
operates 17 recycling centers,
primarily in the Red Bluff
and Redding areas, said his
company has completed the
application process with
CalRecycle for an operation
in Susanville, and the
company can begin
operations May 1, but the
new recycling center will
open for business Tuesday,
May 3 at the old Jeld Wen
building on Johnstonville
Road.
Roetto said the recycling
center will be closed on
Sundays and Mondays, and
the center’s tentative hours
are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tuesdays through Saturdays.
The new recycling center
will only accept California
CRV glass, plastic and
aluminum for payment, but
it also will accept some other
items for recycling without
payment such as plastic milk
containers and glass bottles
used for alcoholic beverages
such as wine and spirits that
are not CRV containers.
According to Roetto, the
support from Lassen County
and the city of Susanville
made the process of coming
to Lassen County much
simpler for Big Foot
Recycling.
“Lassen County and the
City of Susanville bent over
backwards to help us get in
up there,” Roetto said. “They
helped us find a location, and
there were no issues with all
the paperwork. They’ve been
great. We got a lot of support
there, and we’re really
happy.”
The new center doesn’t
have a phone yet, but Roetto
said customers could call the
main office at 365-6458 for
more information.

Without a recycling center for months, a North Street resident
with a sense of humor came up with this new, low maintenance

pending). Beginning next week, he’ll finally have a place to take
all these cans. Photo submitted

Home and Garden Show
arrives this Saturday
Sam Williams
Managing Editor
[email protected]
With the arrival of spring
and the warm weather,
everyone begins to ponder
projects and improvements
around the old homestead,
and the Lassen County
Chamber of Commerce’s
annual Spring Home,
Garden and Outdoor
Recreation Show is a great
place to get some
fresh ideas,
check out what’s
available or just
mingle for a
few hours in
the
sunshine
with some
friends and
neighbors.
The show
runs from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
Saturday, April
30 at the
Lassen County
Fairgrounds,
located at
195 Russell
Avenue.
“The
show’s
looking
really
good,” said
Patty Hagata, the
chamber’s
executive
director. “We’ve got
about 50 entries so
far, and a nice
variety. We’ve got a
little bit of
everything.”
Admission to the
show is free, and
food and beverages
also will be available.
The California
Highway Patrol will
be selling tri-tip
sandwiches and
hamburgers and
people who love the taste of
micro-brewed beers can
enjoy samples from the
Diamond Mountain Casino’s
new brew pup.
And for those folks who
absolutely have to stay
connected no matter what,
free Wi-Fi will be available
during the event, provided
courtesy of Frontier
Communications.
If you’d like to have a
booth at the show, don’t
delay.
Hagata said the spaces
inside Jensen Hall are full,
but there are plenty of
spaces available
outdoors on the
fairgrounds.
To rent of booth space or
for more information,
call the chamber at 257-4323.

It’s simply the newest wrinkle in the
same old residency controversy that’s
erupted over the past few years regarding
elected county and city officials who
allegedly don’t live within the district
they represent.
But, in this case, the carpetbagger
allegations involve a candidate instead of
an elected official. Some in the
community allege Lassen County District
2 Supervisorial candidate Chris
Montgomery does not meet the residency
requirement to run for that office.
Montgomery does not agree with that
assessment. He said he’s required to be a
registered voter in the district, and he
must live in the district during his
incumbency, if elected, and he meets those
requirements.
“I did all my homework with the
secretary of state, and I’ve got (a) family
(member) who’s been the elected registrar

Where’s My
Paper Been?
Relay for Life is an event that raises donations to help fight the battle with cancer and fund research. This year the event will take
place from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 11, at Diamond View School. File photo
Relay For Life coming soon
The American Cancer
Society Relay for Life
movement ranks as the
largest community focused
event in the world, with 24
countries participating in
some 5,000 events and
numbering more than 4
million participants. Billions
of dollars have been raised
over some 30 years to support
the mission of ACS, which is
to finish the fight against
cancer and bring an end to
this ugly disease. In 2014,
communities coming
together raised $335 million.
The donations made do
make a difference. Here are
some specifics:
(1) Your donations are
helping ACS find cancer
causes and cures through
groundbreaking research.
(2) Your donations help
ACS discover new ways to
prevent cancer or find it at
its earliest, most treatable
stage and help people take
steps to stay healthy.
(3) Your donations allow
ACS to do the most to help
persons with cancer.
(4) Your donations help
ACS fight cancer through
public policy.
There are big changes in
store for our 2016 Susanville
Relay For Life event. As you
can see, the relay event
leadership team has been
busy.
First: The event will be
held on June 11; an earlier
date they hope will eliminate
some of the weather
challenges they have
previously faced.
Second: It will be a 12-hour
event, beginning at 9 a.m.
and ending at 9 p.m., which
asks for only one day of
commitment, as the group
appreciates the busy
schedules the participants
have.
Third: The event will be
held at Diamond View
School. Set up for teams will
start at 6 a.m. on the day of
the event. So gather your
friends, relatives and/or coworkers to form a team. It is
easy and fun and leadership
will help you get started. Call
253-3893 for more
information or go to Relay
for Life/Susanville, and sign
up.
This event unites the
community to celebrate with
those who have battled or
who are battling cancer, to
remember loved ones lost
and to take action by fighting
back to finish this fight once
and for all. The group invites
teams and individuals to
walk the track and
participate in the
fundraising.
A Survivor Brunch will be
held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Saturday, May 21, at the
Monticola Club to celebrate
those who have survived
their battle with cancer. Call

provides a wide range of
recreational opportunities to
residents, as well as visitors
to our community, according
to a statement from Lassen
County Sheriff Dean
Growdon. The park is a vital
piece of local economic
development plans, and
draws more visitors each
year. Personnel from Lassen
County, the Bureau of Land
Management and the U.S.
Forest Service have
completed many of the
improvements at the park.
Additionally, countless hours
of volunteer work have led to
a great number of
improvements in recent
years. Individuals and user
groups have donated their
time to improve the park for
all of us.
“Unfortunately we have
seen an increase in
vandalism and use of
unauthorized vehicles in the
park,” Growdon wrote.
“These acts have resulted in
extensive damage to trails
and facilities. The
volunteers and user groups
who have dedicated time to
improving the facilities are
seeing their efforts destroyed
due to the thoughtless acts of
a few. Help us preserve this
wonderful resource by
reporting criminal acts in
the park, and using the park
in a responsible manner.”

CASA volunteers make a difference
A report of child abuse or
neglect is made in the
United States every 10
seconds. That’s more than
3.6 million reports every
year.
In California last year,
more than 30,000 children
were removed from their
homes for abuse or neglect.
These children end up in
the dependency court system
and are usually placed in
foster care, with relatives or
others.
Statistics show an abused
or neglected child is nine
times more likely to become
involved in criminal activity,
much more likely to have
medical problems, become a
teenage parent and drop out
of school. They do not have
a stable home life or an adult
committed to their wellbeing.
That’s where CASA comes
in. Court Appointed Special
Advocates are community
volunteers who are trained
to become an advocate or
voice for the child.
They are appointed by a

family court judge to look
after the best interests of the
child or children to whom
they are appointed.
CASA volunteers meet
with the child and others
involved with the child’s
care and make impartial
recommendations to the
court as to what is in the
best interest of the child.
Breaking the cycle of
abuse for these children is
imperative for them to grow
up to be responsible adults
and parents.
Statistics definitively show
that a child with a CASA is
more likely to get the
services they need, spend
less time in foster care, do
better in school and have a
more positive outlook going
into adulthood.
CASA volunteers make a
small time commitment.
CASA volunteers are
required to attend an initial
32 hours of training before
being sworn in by the
Lassen County Family Court
judge. They commit to a
minimum of eight hours per
month on their case. CASA
volunteers are carefully
screened, fingerprinted, and
thoroughly trained before
being appointed to a case.
CASA volunteers are the
catalyst for change for
children in the dependency
court system.
For more information on
how to become a CASA
volunteer for children, call
the Lassen Family Services
CASA program at 257-4599.
Reward for Keddie murder information
Mari Erin Roth
Staff Writer
[email protected]
A $5,000 reward has been
offered through the Secret
Witness program for
information leading to the
arrest and prosecution of
the perpetrators in the
murder of four people in
Keddie on April 11, 1981.
Information is being
sought by the Plumas
County Sheriff ’s Office
about the Keddie case, which
remains unsolved.
The sheriff ’s office
reopened the case in 2013
and has since uncovered
new and previously
uninvestigated evidence and
potential persons-of-interest.
Tips or information about
the crime can be given to the
Plumas County Sheriff ’s
Office special investigator,
283-6360, Secret Witness (775)
322-4900, text 847411 (TIP411
Keyword SW), or via
secretwitness.com.
Sheriff Greg Hagwood
would like to thank Ed
Pearce, a reporter for KOLO
TV in Reno, who was heavily
involved in getting this
reward offered.
All calls to Secret Witness
will remain anonymous.

Did you know?
In 1955 the observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April, with Wednesday now
designated as Administrative Professionals Day. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981 and
became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job
titles of administrative support staff in the modern economy. The week-long observance was created in order to space out
the bookings at restaurants, country clubs, and other places where administrative professionals would be taken out to
lunch.

Teachers study
state’s forests
California grades K
through 12 teachers will
gather this summer at Camp
McCumber, just east of
Lassen National Forest, to
participate in the Forestry
Institute for Teachers
program. Organized by the
Northern California Society
of American Foresters, this
in-residence program will
focus on forest ecology, forest
management and curriculum
development, including field
sessions facilitated by Lassen
National Forest Staff.
“Many of the participating
teachers are leaders in their
profession,” said University
of California Cooperative
Extension Natural Resource
Advisor Mike De Lasaux.
“The initial goal of the
program is to provide them
with the information and
tools to teach a balanced
environmental education
curriculum.” The FIT
program emphasizes multisubject curriculum
connections including
science, language arts,
history and math across
grade level with Project
Learning Tree and Project
WILD, as well as Next
Generation and Common
Core curriculum standards.
Ultimately, the program
seeks to create an informed
citizenry that understands
the many values of the forest
and the competing demands
for its resources.
“As teachers become better
informed, they share their
findings with their students,
giving them the skills to
recognize, analyze and make
sound decisions regarding
environmental and natural
resource management
issues,” De Lasaux said.
Teachers meet with
practicing resource
professionals from nonprofit
organizations, universities,
private companies and
government agencies, who
present college-level
instruction in forest
management, wildlife
biology, watershed
management, archaeology
and fire science. These
lessons are followed by field
trips, where participants see
natural and planted forests,
active timber sales, stream
restoration projects, projects
to reduce fuels on the forest
to reduce fire hazards
and more.
Teachers are then expected
to develop a forest
curriculum unit or project,
which they implement upon
their return home.
“I wasn’t sure what to
expect,” said Andrea Brown,
a sixth-grade teacher from
Georgetown, California, who
participated in the FIT
program last year. “We
covered so much more than I
could have imagined, from
the soil, trees and animals to
the people, communities and
businesses that all depend on
a forest.”
Each of the four sessions is
designed to host 30 teachers.
“One of our main goals has
always been to bridge the
perception gap between the
state’s northern and
southern residents,” said De
Lasaux. “Urban residents are
most concerned about
protecting natural resources
and recreational
opportunities. Those who
live in the rural north,
closest to the forests, care
greatly about creating
resilient forests capable of
surviving wildfire, providing
sustainable and locally
grown, lumber, abundant
water of the highest quality
and the recreational
destinations that are
cherished.
“Both perspectives are
valid,” he emphasized.
There are still a few spots
available in the FIT session
on Lassen National Forest
scheduled for June 26
through July 2. For more

Susanville School District Superintendent, Jason Waddell, presents a conceptual plan for redesigning McKinley School’s parking lot

Many children attend
McKinley School, and the
student drop off area and
parking lot can become quite
crowded before and after
school.
“Dealing with the traffic
around McKinley, we’ve got
an accident waiting to
happen,” said Susanville
School District
Superintendent Jason
Waddell, “We’ve got to have a
better system.”

Awareness Month
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The month of May is
Mental Health Awareness
Month, and Lassen County
has programs that can help
those who struggle with
anxiety, depression, stress
and other mental illnesses.
“Mental health is a part of
life and there is help and
hope in Lassen County,” said
Shelly Baxter, Executive
Director at Lassen Aurora
Network.
Lassen Aurora Network is
a consumer-based and -run
peer-to-peer support group
agency.
“One in every five
Americans is diagnosed with
mental illness in their
lifetime,” said Baxter.
Baxter is going to have
fliers at various different

Burning can only be done
during permissive times.

You must have a signed
permit in your possession
while you are burning and
you are responsible for
maintaining control of your
fire at all times.
Possession of a permit
does not protect you if your
burn escapes. You are still
liable for any suppression
costs.
If a burn escapes your
control, you should seek help
immediately. Wildfires can
spread very quickly. A fast
response from the fire
department can reduce
suppression cost
considerably. Remember, you
may be billed for suppression
costs, so the sooner you seek
help the better the outcome
may be.
Simple common sense can
greatly reduce the chance of
an escape. If you don’t feel
it’s safe to conduct a burn,
then don’t.
Changing conditions may
necessitate an early burn
suspension. Please keep
informed about burn
restrictions by visiting our
website at fire.ca.gov/lmu

“If everybody had something to run on, they wouldn’t have
to be doing this. It’s really disappointing.”

HOME, from page 1A
of voters for years in a
neighboring county, so I’m all
legit,” Montgomery said. “If
everybody had something to
run on, they wouldn’t have to
be doing this. It’s really
disappointing.”
While state law requires
candidates and officials to
“reside” in the district they
represent, a citizen’s
“residence” is determined by
where he or she registers to
vote.
According to California
Government Code Section
25041, “ … each member (of
the board of supervisors)
shall have been a registered
voter of the district which he
seeks to represent for at least
30 days immediately
preceding the deadline for
filing nomination documents
for the office of supervisor,
and shall reside in the
district during his
incumbency.”
The filing deadline for the
district 2 seat was extended
until March 16 because the
incumbent, Jim Chapman,
did not seek re-election, so
Montgomery had to be a
registered voter in the
district by Feb. 15.
Lassen County Clerk and
Elections Official Julie
Bustamante said
Montgomery’s candidacy is
in order.
“As far as I’m concerned,
he’s a candidate,”
Bustamante said. “He signed
up and registered to vote at a
house on North Pine Street
… He was registered to vote
there (in January) more than
30 days before the sign-up
period ended, so it’s all
legal.”
Bustamante said voter
registration documents are
filed under penalty of
perjury.
And she added the county
clerk’s office has neither
investigatory authority nor
power. She suggested those
with concerns should contact
the California Secretary of
State.
“I’m not an enforcement
agency, so I don’t go out and
make sure people are
registered to vote where the
say they are,” Bustamante
said. “Same thing with

Bustamante said the courts

For example, if someone
owns two residences — one

Susanville — he or she gets

based upon where he or she

where he or she actually
resides most of the time.
Montgomery said he’d like
to put this question behind
him because he’d rather be
discussing the issues with

Some question Montgomery’s residency
Questions and concerns
about Chris Montgomery’s
residency have swirled
almost from the day his
candidacy became public.
This March 20 exchange
was posted on the Chris
Montgomery for Supervisor
District 2 Facebook page.
“You live in Janesville,”
Cady Schroeder wrote.
“How can you run for
district 2 against candidates
that actually live there? Or
are you pulling a Wosick?”
Montgomery responded,
“LMAO, no Wosick. LOL.
We bought a house in
Susanville back in January.
We were supposed to move
in March 1, but the renters
who are there needed more
time. And I’m not one to
push a mother, daughter
and young boy out with no
place to go. Having a BBQ
on my back porch in
Susanville early April.
You’re welcome to attend.”
And then there was this
email exchange.
“Hi, Chris, not to rock the
boat, but I really don’t
understand how you can
register to vote and run for
office in a district you don’t
reside in,” wrote Theresa
Phillips. “I know that you
bought a house in district 2,
but you don’t currently live
there and you didn’t live
there when you took out
papers to run for office … I
know you recall the big to
do over the county assessor
committing voter fraud by
using an address that some
said he did not reside at,
but he did own in Lassen
County … doesn’t this feel
like the same thing? I get
that you intend to live there
before the election, but this
seems like the same kind of
shady thing you’ve called
other people out on … ”
Montgomery responded,
“ … The standard for
running for a countywide
office and district office are
completely different. Huge!
While some may want to
draw lines regarding
similarities between me
and the assessor, the
requirements are apples
and oranges … We have
been looking for a house for
nearly three years in town
… Renters had a hardship
and had to stay an extra
month.”
“You didn’t answer my
question. What address did
you use? If you used an
address that you didn’t
reside at then that’s fraud
plain and simple.”

Residents speak out against proposed Gables Project
Makenzie Davis
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Local residents and
supervisors have made it
known they want the health
and social services
department to communicate
more with neighbors of The
Gables in Johnstonville
regarding a potential special
needs housing project.
During the Tuesday, April
19 Lassen County Board of
Supervisors meeting, Lassen
County Health and Social
Services presented an
agreement with Housing
Tools, which would help
provide administrative
subcontracting services
related to The Gables Project.
The proposed project,
which is not locked into the
Gables property, would offer
housing to people with
chronic mental illnesses for
daily support, much like an
apartment complex, but with
other agencies renting the
property.
“In December of 2014, we
presented to you the results
of a feasibility study
conducted by Housing Tools
of Chico. That study
identified the Gables
property as having the most
potential for a successful
project to provide long-term
housing for individuals with
chronic mental illness,” said
Melody Brawley, health and
social services director.
The presented project
would allow Housing Tools to
prepare the application to
access HOME funds to
finance the purchase and
rehabilitation of the site. The
cost of the agreement, which
would last three years, is not
to exceed $24,467, and the
funds would be reimbursable
through the HOME Program
Income Trust, which has a
balance of around $1.5
million.
However, the board
unanimously decided to table
the matter, until the May 10
supervisors meeting, in the
hope of better informing
area residents about the
possible project. Supervisor
Jeff Hemphill is hosting a
town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, May 5, at the
Johnstonville Grange, and
attendees are welcome to
speak about the matter.
According to board
Chairman Jim Chapman,
when the project was last
before the board they
directed health and social
services staff to reach out to
residents in the area of the
proposed project before
moving forward.
However, Jenna Aguilera,
health and social services
program manager, noted the
department was always
planning on doing
community outreach should
the application be approved
by HOME.
“Right now we don’t have
any of those agreements in
place so we can’t necessarily
market the project saying
who is going to be in it. Right
now it’s proposed,” said
Aguilera.
Unhappy with the potential
project, however, some of the
Gables’ neighbors attended
the meeting to discuss some
concern with the site.
Michelle Davenport, who
lives near The Gables and
runs a daycare out of her
home, said she was
concerned about the children
and her family.
She added she and her
neighbors did not even know
the project was going on.
“I realize there is a need in
our community for a mental
health facility,” said
Davenport. “We in our
neighborhood look after each
other. We don’t want this in
our community. I do not

think that mental health care
about the families, the
children or our community
and there should have been a
letter sent out within at least
a two-mile radius they were
even proposing this.”
She also commented how
she was worried about the
value of her house
plummeting and the safety in
the area.
Additionally, Johnstonville
resident Willis Dow shared
his concern with the
proposed location.
He said he was concerned
with the possibility of the
special needs housing.
“I’m not opposed to helping
these people, I feel that they
probably need these services
and that’s great that we have
you guys willing to find them
homes and the ability to get
them back on their feet. But
the location there I don’t
think serves our community
well,” said Dow.
He continued, mentioning
it was far away from town
and services, has heavy
traffic during rush hour
times and is in a flood plain.
Several people mentioned
they only found out about the
project the night before the
board meeting.
According to Brawley,
people considered dangerous
would not be living in the
proposed project. She shared
the stories of a few people
who could benefit from a
program like this.
She told the story of a
young man with
schizophrenia who still lives
with his parents, but would
like to be independent, with
care still provided by the
program. Another potential
benefactor would be a war
veteran who suffered trauma
and sometimes sleeps
outside. At the project, she
said he would not be judged
High school discusses drug testing
Makenzie Davis
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Lassen Union High
School Board of Trustees
looked further into a
potential drug testing policy
for students.
The information item was
discussed at a previous board
meeting and staff was
directed to ask counsel’s
opinion and guidance.
According to
Superintendent Bill McCabe,
there are some groups that
cannot be tested. Only
competitive athletic teams.
Clubs such as FFA, FBLA,
drama or band could not be
subject to drug testing.
Additionally, counsel advised
testing students in
cheerleading created a high
risk since cheerleading can
be considered an extracurricular activity and not a
sport since there is not a
competitive cheer squad at
the school. The policy is only
for competitive sports.
McCabe said the proposed
policy would be a three-step
process.
“Let’s say you were
randomly selected … you
would come up, you would
give a sample and tested
positive, we would not
suspend you. What we would
do is, there are conditions
you would have to meet to be
reinstated back to the team.
The primary thing is to make
sure students are healthy and
safe. And while they’re under
the influence of certain
drugs they can put
themselves in harm’s way in
a number of ways that we’re
not condoning,” said McCabe.
If a student happened to be
selected three times and
tested positive, the student
would be out of sports for a
year.
“It would be a discreet
thing. It would not be a thing
where we would suspend
kids, but we try to get them to
make the right choices and
not engage in drugs,” said
McCabe.
The various drugs
proposed to be tested and
other information is
available to be read in the
draft policy in the board

McCabe said this would not
be adopted for this year,
should it be approved, and
suggested there be at least
three readings of the policy.
He also said parents should
be notified the board was
looking at implementing the
policy.
“This is a big, big thing,
drug testing. But it’s the
safety of the students,”
McCabe added.
A coach present at the
meeting suggested if maybe
the random testing could
select one person from each
team, rather than leaving it
to complete chance to
alleviate the chance it only
selects members from one
sport.
Members of the board
agreed.
McCabe said he would talk
to counsel about the matter.
The expected fiscal impact
was not known.
Board member Kevin Jones
reiterated his belief the
administration should look at
schools with existing
effective board policies for
drug testing.
The board did not take any
action on the matter during
the meeting. The policy is
still being discussed.

Brawley also talked about a
woman with depression that
lost her husband, who often
reminded her to take
medicine and now sometimes
forgets.
Aguilera also said they
were aware of the flood
plain, but said there were
steps that were coming to
inspect the area. She said if
the area was not suitable for
the special needs housing
project, the application
would be denied.
In order to use the HOME
funds, some rules were set,
such as having the potential
site be out of city limits, but
close to it.
The board discussed
potentially looking into other
properties where the housing
could be placed, however,
County Administrative
Officer Richard Egan noted
nothing else fit the
requirements for the HOME
funds.
“We can look all we want
… the search has been done
and it’s not there,” Egan said.
Chapman noted special
needs housing was important
for the community to have,
but to have it better
discussed with the
community.
“Let’s talk to the
community that has to live
with this in their backyard
or be near it. Because if this
is going to go up in arms,
why would we waste our
money, or why would we
speculate further down the
road,” said Albaugh.

School district’s board opposes State of Jeffeson
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
[email protected]
At the Susanville School
District Board of Trustees
Meeting Wednesday, April 20,
the board approved a
resolution to oppose Lassen
County’s Measure G.
“Measure G is an advisory
measure creating the State of
Jefferson if it were to pass
through out the entire
Northern California area,”
said local Marshall Leve, who
spoke to the board about the
issue.
Leve said if Jefferson were
to become a state, it would be
in the beginning stages. He
pointed out that laws would
still be being written and
there would be no property
tax.
Leve said, because of this,
it would cause Susanville
School District to be $9
million in the hole.
Leve worked with Michelle
Brown, chief business
Official, to see how he could
possibly cut that much
money from a school budget.
“It involved cutting out 48
percent of your teachers and
eliminating all of the aids,”
said Leve.
“A vote to approve this
resolution is not necessarily
what you the individual
might think,” said
Superintendent Jason
Waddell, “but we’re here to
represent the kids.”
The board unanimously
approved the resolution to
oppose Measure G.

The Farmers Market is moving to Pancera Plaza
At its April 19 board
meeting, the Lassen Land and
Trails Trust Board of
Directors unanimously voted
to move Lassen County’s only
certified Farmers Market to
Pancera Plaza in Uptown
Susanville, located on South
Gay St., between Main St. and
Cottage Street.
“Historic Uptown
Susanville Association
presented us with a proposal
to move the market to the
plaza,” said Elizabeth Norton,
vice president of the Lassen
Land and Trails Trust. “We
polled the vendors, discussed
the move with HUSA, and
everyone agreed the Pancera
Plaza location offered the best
opportunity to grow the
market.”
This year’s market will be
jointly operated by HUSA and
the Lassen Land and Trails
Trust as part of a new
partnership that will benefit
both organizations and allow
for a smooth transition
between locations. The grand
opening of the first market is
Saturday morning, June 4
and the market will continue
to operate every Saturday
until September 24.
“We want the market to
thrive in our community,”
said David Teeter, president
of HUSA. “Pancera Plaza has
great visibility from Main
Street to attract customers
and vendors. The market will

Assistant Public Defender
Jacob Zamora.
Throughout the school year,
the Lassen County Teen
Court program provides high
school students with an
opportunity to directly
impact their community
through public service as
Teen Court commissioners.
Commissioners serve as
prosecuting and defense
attorneys, bailiffs and court
clerks. They also act as a teen
jury, hearing real criminal
cases referred to the program
for appropriate disposition.
Beyond the courtroom, Teen
Court provides student
volunteers with an
opportunity to develop public
speaking and critical
thinking skills which will
benefit them throughout their
academic and professional
careers.

Basic Training at Lackland
AFB. He was stationed at
Travis AFB and was
discharged in 1961. He
married his high school
sweetheart, Lorna
Rosenkrantz, on Dec. 5, 1959,
in Portola, California.
After he was discharged
from the Air Force, he went
to barber school in
Sacramento, California. He
and Lorna then moved to
Reno, Nevada, in 1961 where
they started their family and
he started his career as a
barber. In the late 60’s
Dennis bought the barber
shop at Sierra Army Depot,
which he named “Denny’s
Barber Shop.” He moved his
family to Doyle, California,
in December of 1968 to run
the 3-A Ranch and to work at
his barber shop. During this
time, he was a booster at
Herlong High School as well
as running the 3-A Ranch.
One of Dennis favorite
annual events was the Cattle
Drive attended by family,
friends and the Doyle 4-H
Club Members. All who
attended the cattle drive
with Dennis being the 4-H
Leader and Ranch Manager
had a good time. Dennis
sponsored a stock car and on
occasion, he would drive it
during racing season at the
Lassen County Fairgrounds.
The ranch was sold in the
mid 70s and the family
moved to a new home in
Doyle.
Dennis got out of the
barbering business and went
to work for the United States
Forest Service. He was
elected to the Long Valley
Elementary School Board,
which he served on from
1972-1981. Dennis went to
work for Butte Creek Rock
in the late 70s and in the 80s
the company became
Baldwin Construction.
Dennis went to work for
Granite Construction
Company in Sparks, Nevada,
in the late 80s. He then went
back to work for Baldwin

and passed away on April 16,
2016 at Lassen Banner
Hospital in Susanville,
California.
Sue, who many knew as
“Kay”, served in the United
States Army as Private First
Class from 1944 until 1946,
assigned to the Women’s Air
Corp., where she received a
Victory Medal, Good
Conduct Medal and
American Theater Ribbon.
Over the many years, Sue
was an accountant,
bookkeeper, truck broker
and property manager.
Sue was an independent
and adventurous woman,
who had a free spirit, loved
life and traveling to new
places.
Everywhere she went she
spread happiness and joy to
those around her.
She lived in Susanville,
California for the last 23
years and was active in
many organizations,
including the American
Legion and Marine Club.
Sue never ceased to want
to learn and continuously
studied religion and was a
faithful servant of God.
She received certifications

She last attended Lassen

at age 88, attesting to her
love of education.
Many of you will
remember one of Sue’s
special gifts, which was
entertaining children and
adults, performing at parties
dressed as Mae West or as a
clown. She and her friends
enjoyed being in the Lassen
County Fair Parade driving
her Pacer.
Sue truly enjoyed
spending time with her
friends and neighbors,
especially Bud and Shirley
Bowden, who have had a
special relationship for over
30 years. Sue called Bud and

loved them dearly. Sue’s
family is eternally grateful

and nephews and greatnieces and great-nephews.
Sue also had cousins who
she referred to as her
grandchildren, and many
dear friends who cherished
her. Sue had many “fur
babies” and her beloved
Lopsy cat greeted her in
Heaven.
The family of Sue
appreciates the nursing staff
and employees of the Lassen
Nursing Home for all the
years of loving care she
received.
A Memorial Service was
held Monday, April 18, 2016

Commission discusses
agreement with Trails Trust
Makenzie Davis
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Lassen County
Transportation Commission
opted to table the discussion
of entering into a
Memorandum of
Understanding with Lassen
Land and Trails Trust for
grant sponsorship for funds
from the Active
Transportation Program.
The MOU would outline a
general partnership
regarding “the planning and
development of public
recreational trails located
within, immediately adjacent
to or near the county road
right way in Lassen County,”
read the draft agreement.
Specifically, Lassen Land and
Trails Trust wants it for the
development of the proposed
Bizz Extension in the FernleyLassen Rail Line, or The Cut,
by the historic Railroad
Depot.
Since the bulk of ATP
funds are not available for
nonprofits to apply for, they
need a grant-sponsored
agency.
“We received a request from
Lassen Land and Trails Trust
to sponsor a project that
they’re interested in applying
for,” said transportation
project manager Cynthia
Raschein.
During the meeting, the
board was supposed to also
hear a presentation from
Caltrans District 2
representatives regarding
comments from the previous
cycle of ATP funds, which the
commission did not qualify
for. However, due to lack of
time, the presentation was
pushed back to the Monday,
May 9 meeting. The
representative also said the
ATP applications are due
June 15 if the commission
wants to enter as an applicant
for the current grant cycle.
During the meeting, the
commission decided to table
both the ATP Caltrans
presentation and the MOU
agreement with Lassen Land
and Trails Trust.
Liz Norton, from the Lassen
Land and Trails Trust, said
the group requested the
agreement last year, but was
turned down since it was not
the right time.
“This is a project we’ve
been working on for the past
couple of years,” said Norton,
mentioning some work on
The Cut, such as fencing,
bicycle and pedestrian access
off of Alexander Avenue, to
prohibit motor vehicles
traveling on the property and
constructing the .3 mile trail
from Richmond Road to
Alexander Avenue.
Norton said the nonprofit
was looking at the Active
Transportation Program
because they want to get the
project completed as soon as
possible.
However, some commission
members noted the project
might be more appropriate if
it were worked out with the
city.
“It’s not that I don’t think
we should entertain it … but I
would be more favorable of it,
if it was something that was
already worked out with the
city,” said commissioner
Jim Chapman.

Did you know that foster care is a pipeline for the
commercial exploitation of children?
Human Trafficking:
This new training is specifically designed for foster parents, relative
caregivers, and group home staff as a first step in combatting the commercial sexual
exploitation of children in California. We are working to raise awareness to the crisis at
hand and increasing your ability to identify commercially sexually exploited children.
You will leave with:
• Awareness about what and where this is happening in our state;
• Understanding why children in foster care are so vulnerable and how they can be
influenced by a trafficker;
• Identification of the warning signs; the ability to spot red flags that indicate a child is
being sexually exploited or victimized.
Join us as Deena Graves, founder and former Executive Director of
Traffick911, a nonprofit organization with the mission to end human
trafficking in America is our trainer. Her mission is to work toward an end to
human trafficking with a three-pronged parallel strategy focusing on
prevention, rescue and restoration. During Deena’s
leadership of Traffick911, the foundation identified
approximately 140 victims of domestic minor sex
trafficking, leading to numerous arrests, pleas and
convictions, and opened one of a handful of safe
houses for these children in the U.S. Graves, who
speaks across the nation on domestic minor sex
trafficking, will share her wealth of knowledge and case studies of the
children she has helped rescue and restore. She is an award-winning
communicator dedicated to social justice and human rights issues for
American children.
Spike Camp
delights
Local youth took to the
fairgrounds to try their hand
at various outdoors and
shooting activities.
On April 2, about 80
participants, age 16 and
under, spent part of the day
participating in the Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation’s
Spike Camp.
From paintball guns to
archery, the participants were
able to learn how to shoot BB
guns and partake in other
activities with the help of
volunteers, according to Tim
Martin, of the foundation.
The activities included BB
guns, a paintball gun obstacle
course, a laser shot range,
archery and other events.
According to Martin, the
top two shots in the BB gun
range received pellet guns
from Billington Ace
Hardware. The top two
paintball shots received
paintball guns donated by
Customer Talk and the top
archery shot received a bow
and arrow from Hubbard’s
Handy Man Service.
Additionally, the California
Highway Patrol, the Lassen
County Search and Rescue,
PHI Medical Air and Cal Fire
taught participants about
safety.
Moreover, community
support helped make the
event possible, according to
Martin.
Martin said local youth
Baylee Richardson donated
many items to the event, such
as a children’s lap top, dolls,
bean bag and other items for
a raffle.
According to Martin, every
participant was able to walk
away with a prize from the
raffle.
Additionally, the Rocky

Lassen Humane
Society suspends spay
and neuter program
McKinzey Davis
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Lassen Humane
Society has made the
decision to temporarily
suspend the spay and neuter
program.
According to a statement
from the organization, the
“current funding from the
community and foundations
is not enough to maintain
our historic success.
Regretfully, we have to
temporarily suspend all spay
and neuter programs until
we can regroup and generate
new income.”
“We really did not want to
do it,” said Lassen Humane
Society vice president Randy
Darrow.
The spay and neuter
program started around 2004
when the organization had
some extra money, according
to Darrow.
“We just had some extra
funds and there was a need
for it in the community,” he
said.
In the 12 years of service,
the Lassen Humane Society
has spent about $600,000
funding the spay and neuter
of thousands of cats and
dogs without government
funding.
“This could not have been
fulfilled had it not been for
dedicated Lassen Humane
Society staff, volunteers,
contributions, well-supported
fundraisers and a responsible
community (that is) willing
to help,” continued the
statement.
The Lassen Humane
Society offered ways local
residents could help.
First, the organization asks
residents to be responsible
pet owners and pet
neighbors, by not only caring
for own pets, but by perhaps
helping a neighbor who
cannot afford to spay or
neuter their animal.
Additionally, the
organization asked for the
community’s support in an
upcoming fundraiser, the
11th annual Lassen Humane
Society Yard Sale from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. May 20, and 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. May 21 at the Lassen
County Fairgrounds.
Additionally, locals can
donate items at the Lassen
County Fairgrounds at the
National Guard entrance,
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday, May
2 through May 18. The
society requests no
electronics, exercise
equipment or adult clothing
be donated.
Moreover, residents can
donate to Lassen Humane
Society or become a member
by paying dues. There are
various payments levels,
such as individual, family, a
sustaining payment, a
sponsor or a lifetime due.
Checks and dues may be
sent to the Lassen Humane
Society at P.O. Box 1575 in
Susanville.
Lassen Humane Society is
a nonprofit organization and
100 percent of funds received
stay in the community to
benefit local animals through
education, Pups on Parole
and pet adoption.
Darrow did not know a
specific amount which would
restart the spay and neuter
program.
“We thank you one more
time for your continued
support and concern for all
the animals in our county,”
read the statement.

Caltrans reminds candidates, representatives of
campaign sign restrictions on state highways
Caltrans, District 2,
reminds all candidates
registered in the upcoming
election, their
representatives and/or
campaign personnel and
campaign workers for ballot
measures, of the policy
regarding placement of
temporary political signs
within view of a state
highway.
Section 5405.3 of the State
Outdoor Advertising Act
allows an exemption for the
placement of temporary
political signs along certain
state highways.
These signs are not to be
placed within the state right
of way.
If the signs are within
view of a state highway,
candidates must file a
Statement of Responsibility
form with Caltrans.
A temporary political sign
meets the following criteria:
1. Encourages a particular
vote in a scheduled election.
2. Is placed no sooner than
90 days prior to the
scheduled election and is
removed within 10 days after
that election.
3. Is no larger than 32
square feet.
4. Has a statement of
responsibility form filed with
the Department of
Transportation certifying a
person who will be
responsible for removing the
signs.
State law directs the
Department of
Transportation to remove
unauthorized temporary
political signs and bill the
responsible party for their
removal.

of Responsibility” for
temporary political signs,

Susanville’s recycling
woes may be over
Beginning next week Susanville
residents will have a place to recycle their
California Redemption Value cans and
bottles thanks to a new recycling center
opening May 3 on Johnstonville Road.
That’s good news, especially for some local
retail outlets that faced the possibility of
being forced into the recycling business
themselves or having to pay a $100 per day
fine to the state of California.
The state created our local recycling
nightmare when it closed USA Recycling
after California Highway Patrol officers
noticed loads of cans — marked with the
California CRV logo — coming into
California. Instead of taking action
against those who were bringing the cans
into the state and collecting
reimbursements they were not entitled to
receive, law enforcement and investigators
from CalRecycle turned their gaze upon
the recyclers. And let’s not forget a state
official pulled USA’s
certification after an
DITORIAL
administrative law
judge essentially cleared the local recycler
of any wrongdoing. An appeal of this
apparently boneheaded bureaucrat’s
decision will be heard in Sacramento
Superior Court later this month.
The state could easily solve this problem
simply by ensuring the beverage
containers marked as CRV containers and
therefore eligible for redemption in
California are actually sold in California.
Rather than going after the recyclers
who have no way of knowing the CRVlabeled cans and bottles are not eligible for
redemption, why not go after those folks
who are actually committing the fraud?

OPINIONS
Motivation for ecological stewardship can differ
Earth Day was commemorated this April …
on the official website, it was described as a
movement entering its 46th year that
continues to ignite passion, motivate people
and inspire. It is good to pause and reflect on
this planet, for it is extraordinary. Yet it is not
the environmental movement that motivates
me to be a good steward, taking steps to
preserve habitat and protect wildlife and
plant species. The maker of heaven and
earth, God, provides my motivation (Hebrews
11:3). His work ignites passion and inspires.
Perhaps the difference can be found at the
point of worship. In a Smithsonian Magazine
article titled “Darwin’s Forgotten World,”
detailing the influence Australia’s Blue
Mountains had on Charles Darwin’s theory of
evolution, author Tony Perrottet described,
and a great great grandson of the naturalist,
as a “nature-worshipping” descendant. I do
not worship creation, but the creator. When I
look at nature I see God. The Apostle Paul
explained in Romans 1:20 that God’s invisible
qualities can be seen and understood by what
has been made.
Let me give you a few examples about
differences in viewpoint. The first example is
from the article I mentioned above.
In 1994, David Noble went on a weekend
IT’S MY TURN
SUSAN CORT JOHNSON
Staff Writer
[email protected]
hiking trip with two friends rappelling into
the remote canyons of the Greater Blue
Mountains World Heritage Area of Australia.
Reportedly humans have never visited
sections of the 2.5 million acres of protected
lands. During a lunch stop, Noble noticed a
grove of trees, which were not familiar, so he
took a sample to the park lab. Using fossils
dating back to the Jurassic era, the trees were
identified as Wollemi pine. All believed these
trees were extinct and marveled that some
had survived in a remote, inaccessible area of
the world.
As I read of the discovery, my thoughts
turned to God. It was an example of God’s
protection and care. While lost to humans,
these trees were not forgotten by God. Psalm
147:4 came to mind, which reads: “He counts
the number of the stars; He calls them all by
name.”
Another example is the thought that the
development of the navigational system the
Monarch butterfly uses to migrate thousands
of miles is a great mystery of nature. For me
there is no mystery for God’s wisdom is
evident in the design of his creatures (Psalm
104:24).
How is the Monarch designed? Its eyes
register the location of the sun on the
horizon and a biological clock embedded in
the antennae calculates the time of day by
determining whether the sun is rising or
setting. This information is received by an
internal compass in the brain to provide
direction. This speaks of intelligent design.
Although I am not a traditional
“environmentalist,” I do take steps to protect
and improve the environment. While my
motivation may differ, good ecological
stewardship is still the result.
State of Jefferson: The great unknown
WHERE I STAND
MARSHALL LEVE
NO ON G COMMITTEE
Much is being said about
Lassen County’s participation in
the state of Jefferson. There are
also many unanswered questions
- the great unknown! These
include…
Which California
assemblyman or senator will
sponsor Jefferson separation
legislation? Unknown; there is
no sponsor yet.
Is the State of Jefferson
affordable? Is it a viable
economic entity? Unknown, but
probably not.
Will the federal government
allow Jefferson to keep 100
percent of our federal income
tax payment proposed by
Jefferson’s fiscal analyst?
Probably not, why should they?
How long will it take to form
an operating Jeffersonian
government? Unknown, at least
18 months.
If the state of Jefferson were
approved, which counties would
be included? How could counties
opt out? Unknown. Unknown.
Where are the new Jefferson
state capitol and associate state
agency offices to be located?
Unknown.
Lacking laws, can Jefferson
collect taxes and operating
funds? No, not for at least 18
months.
Can Jefferson find an investor
that will to lend to the new state
with no assurance of
repayment? Probably not.
Can Jefferson operate without
monies to hold meetings, pay
staff, etc for 18 months? Probably
not.
How can Jefferson work with
other states without a
government and some
emergency laws? It cannot.
Can Jefferson contract with
other states to operate prisms
without Jeffersonian law?
Probably not.
Can Jefferson operate without
Caltrans, Cal Fire, CHP and
Franchise Tax Board? Probably
not.
Can Lassen County exist
without Jeffersonian law
supporting this county?
Probably not.
Can California elected
supervisors and city council
members function legally in
Jefferson? Probably not.
If not, how do we legally
collect taxes and public service
operating funds? Unknown.
Can we survive 18 months
without police, fire and sheriff
services? Certainly not.
LETTERS
Dollars and sense
The state of Jefferson must
seek fiscal reality. California is a
major economic world power. Its
riches are found in areas such as
San Diego, Los Angeles and the
greater Bay Area, not in the
counties that would become the
state of Jefferson. Jefferson is
poor and will be much poorer
with the loss of the fiscal base of
urban California.
An excellent example of the
loss of California finances can be
found in our local schools and
community college. How will
Lassen Community College
continue to operate after the loss
of 80 percent of its budget
(California dollars), or Lassen
Union High School District losing
55 percent of its income, or
Susanville Elementary School
District, 64 percent lost. Tiny
Ravendale loses 91 percent of its
budget. These are examples of the
help that Lassen County will lose
through the formation of the state
of Jefferson.
How will these losses be made
up? Since Jefferson proponents
have announced intended tax
cuts, there is only one way to
protect schools other than
rejecting Jefferson — massive
cuts to public service programs,
police, fire, etc. or deep cuts to our
children’s education. There will
be no universities. This county is
supported by California jobs. The
workers at the state prisons will
lose their jobs or will need to
relocate. The workers’ contracts
are with the state of California.
Fiscal reality is lacking in the
state of Jefferson. Let’s face it; if
you do not have the dollars,
Jefferson makes no sense. Keep it
California.
Angie Miller
Wendel, California
Can Lassen County survive
the loss of $296,000,000 from the
closing of CCC and HDSP?
Probably not as it is now.
Will Lassen County schools
survive a 50 to 90 percent
reduction in California monies
Jefferson cannot replace $25,000.000 from Southern
California and the Bay Area?
Certainly not the way they are
now.
Will Lassen Community
College survive an 80 percent cut
in operating income? Probably
not.
Which educational services
should be retained? How will
city and county services
including police, fire, sheriff
and jail operation be
maintained? Unknown.
Unknown.
Do we want a county without a
library? Can we afford it
considering other service cuts?
No and probably not.
Can our all-major stores
survive the loss of 3,000 state
and local jobs and salaries?
Probably not.
Will all our smaller stores and
said family shops survive this
major financial loss? Certainly
not.
What will happen to our
farming and ranching
communities with substantial
to the
Jefferson debate
I think about the people who
want us to joins state of Jefferson
and I asked myself what is it they
want state of Jefferson to provide
them that they are not getting
now. They have the opportunity to
work if they want it. We have
roads that are not perfect but
drivable. We have decent schools
for our children. We have law
enforcement, Cal Fire, and the
other local fire departments to
protect us. We pay $1.2 million to
the state in taxes. They give us
back $6 million, $20 million to our
schools, multiple millions go to
the employees at the three prisons
and the army base, CHP, Cal Fire,
Caltrans among some of the state
jobs provided. All of this money
goes into our community allowing
small businesses to thrive.
Our air is clean, our water is
E D I TO R
pure and our land is good. We all
have medical coverage. We are all
able to eat, either through
employment or food stamps for
those who need it.
People say we are a poor
county but when I look out my
living room window at Thompson
Peak and the beauty around me I
feel like I am a very wealthy
person, maybe not monetarily, but
spiritually.
I worry how all of this would
change if state of Jefferson
became a reality. We would have
no laws for a year or two. There
would be no government, no law
enforcement, fire departments,
judicial system, or way to make
any money. How long would it
take to get it up and
running? What would people do
for income, food, medical
treatment during this

Originating because of the
Dust Bowl, a Resource
Conservation District or
RCD works with landowners,
government agencies and
land managers to identify
and provide solutions to
natural resource
conservation concerns in
the area — things like soil
erosion and flood control,
rangeland management,
forest heath, noxious or

The Honey Lake Valley
Resource Conservation
District is currently
involved with local and state

community organizations
with projects that provide
significant benefits to the
environment and
community. Some of these
projects include:
• Assisting with the
development of the

dollars in state Water Bond
funds to address public
water and wastewater issues
as well as water quality and

were identified.
In addition, a work plan
was developed as a

On April 22, 1970, 20
million Americans hit the
streets to protest the
environmental effects of
more than 100 years of
uncontrolled fossil-fueled
industrial development. It
was the first Earth Day.
What was intended to be a
college campus teach-in soon
spread to every community
and city across the United
States. It was and remains
the single largest secular
event in history. The sheer
size of the protest — along
with increasing visual
the 1930s.
I telephoned CALPERS and
they do not take in
entities/employees outside of
the California state lines.
They do not affiliate with any
other states, including
Nevada and Oregon.
Retirees from CALPERS
can move outside California
and it has little effect on their
retirements. However, I
moved out of state and still
had to pay California income
tax on part of my retirement.
Jefferson will have to create
its own state agencies. In
their goal of reducing the size
of government, they will have
to cut jobs and services. State
employees have contracts
with the state of California,
not Jefferson. There is no
guarantee that Jefferson will
even have the same agencies,
much less be able to pay
current salary and benefit
levels.
It is debatable what will
happen to state employees
who choose to stay, instead of
relocating. What would
happen if California decided
to close one of our prisons?
Move or quit?
Just because Lassen
County has a very large state
worker contingent that votes,
does not mean that Jefferson
proponents in other counties
will tailor their message to
CDCR employees. CDCR, CHP,
Cal Fire, and all of the other
state agencies will cease to
exist outside California. Law
enforcement officers in
California have CALPOST
requirements. CALPOST will
cease to exist. Jefferson will
have to establish its own
peace officer standards. All
training on California laws
and ways of doing things will
be totally obsolete and
everyone will have to be
retrained on Jefferson’s laws.
Those laws won’t be passed
until Jefferson is formed and
passes its own laws. You can’t
enforce California laws
outside the state.
If it is a gray area, or
unless it is clearly
understandable, vote no.

evidence of dire health
threats associated with air
and toxic pollution — soon
forced Congress to pass some
of the world’s toughest
environmental laws, most of
which include community
right-to-know provisions and
allow citizens to sue their
government if it fails to
enforce the law.
Citizens’ rights have been
enshrined in every major
environmental law from that
point on. These laws
spawned others around the
world — many more
stringent than those in the
U.S. — and most recognize
the role of citizens in the
enforcement of
environmental laws.
Nearly 50 years later, Earth
Day remains a day of
reckoning, and now more
than 1 billion people take
action each year in almost
every country on
Earth. Some protest, many
clean up their communities
and plant trees, and millions
more have their first
exposure to
environmentalism through
educational programs at
schools and universities.
Governments large and
small make commitments
and meet with their
constituents, while
corporations make pledges to
be more sustainable and
responsible for the pollution
they create.
It is fitting then that
United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon chose
Earth Day (April 22) for
world leaders to sign the
historic Paris climate
agreement at U.N.
headquarters in New
York. At least 150 world
leaders are expected to sign,
making it the largest single
signing of an international
agreement in world history
(another Earth Day
first!). And it’s happening not
a moment too soon. On every
front, global warming is
becoming more immediate,
more threatening and more
irreversible, while scientific
consensus and data on the
health effects of climate
change — particularly on the
poor — mount.
Critics warn that the
agreement’s specific
emissions targets are too
low; that the pace of
implementation is too slow,
and it fails to specify
penalties for non-compliance.
That’s where we the people
come in.
Included in the climate
agreement are provisions
that recognize the critical
role civil society must play to
make it work. It calls on
citizens to “scale up their
efforts and support actions to
reduce emissions. It signals
the need for all of us to be
actively engaged in
transforming our world from
one dominated by fossil fuels
to one driven by renewable
energy. While these words
don’t amount to a call for
revolution, it’s clear both the
United Nations and world
leaders recognize that citizen
participation in solving
global warming has been
missing. The success – or
failure – of the agreement is
on our shoulders.
This isn’t a fight in which
any of us can remain on the
sidelines and hope for the
best. Unless we take these
matters into our own hands,
the agreement alone won’t
save the world’s ecosystems
from collapsing, or our
biodiversity, which supports
all living things on earth,
from disappearing.

things are going. It means

challenge to the status quo. It
means holding our elected
officials accountable and
voting out of office national,
state and local leaders who
won’t take action on
climate change. It means not
passing the buck and hoping
others do the hard work.
For many, getting involved
means knowing how your
retirement accounts and
pensions are invested and
demanding divestment from
fossil fuel stocks. It means
demanding that your
children be educated for
green jobs of the future. It
means showing up at town
hall or city council meetings
and asking about your
community’s survivability in
a climate crisis. It means
saying “No” to every new
coal or fracking project, and
retooling those communities
for safer green powered jobs.
And there is no doubt
countless other ways to act.
Undoubtable, the climate
agreement makes it clear
that governments don’t have
the power to solve climate
change alone. We all must do
something more than we
currently are. Earth Day 2016
is not about crossing the
finish line. When the
agreement is signed, the
hard work begins anew.

Before you reject the system, you need to understand it
WHERE I STAND
LEE H. HAMILTON
FORMER MEMBER OF
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
If there’s a theme that sets
this political season apart,
it’s the voters’ utter disdain
for most of the people who
practice politics. They’re fed
up with politicians, they’ve
lost faith and confidence in
the political elite, and they
don’t believe that the realm
where politicians ply their
craft — government —
works.
The two presidential
contenders who have most
channeled this frustration,
Donald Trump and Bernie
Sanders, have electrified
many voters who want to get
this message across. They’ve
mobilized new voters, people
more mainstream politicians
haven’t reached. The
involvement of more
Americans in the political
system, though it unsettles
the old order, is bracing.
There are many legitimate
reasons for these people to
be turned off by the political
system today. But, I would
argue that if you’re hell-bent
on shaking up the system,
you also need to understand
it — and understand that
certain features are likely to
persist no matter how hard
you try to change them.
The first is that it is very
hard to make our
representative democracy
work. We make progress
incrementally, over years if
not generations. The first
president to press hard for
affordable, accessible health
care was Harry Truman. It
has taken us that long even
to get close — and no one
would argue that the work is
done.
Therefore, you have to
Minimum wage hike won’t
solve the poverty problem
WHERE I STAND
GEORGE RUNNER
MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Blink and you’ll miss it.
Special interests have struck
a backroom deal to raise
California’s minimum wage
to $15 per hour in just six
years. The deal was rushed
through the Democratcontrolled Legislature—with
little public input—and
signed into law by the
governor in less than a week.
It’s almost as if no one
wanted to take the time to
stop and listen; if they had,
they might realize they’re
making a huge mistake.
While a $15 per hour
minimum wage may seem
like a good deal for workers, it
will cost many their jobs and
raise the cost of living for all.
A one-size-fits-all approach to
combating poverty will fail in
an economically diverse state
like California.
Even supporters of raising
the minimum wage realize
the danger. A recent UC
Berkeley study found that
raising the wage in Los
Angeles would cause the
city’s unemployment rate to
rise and economy to shrink.
Creating more poverty and
shrinking the economy
shouldn’t be the goal of
public policy.
For further evidence, take a
look at Seattle. The state of
Washington saw major job
gains in 2015, except in
Seattle, which recently
adopted a $15 minimum wage.
Not only did the city see no
increase in jobs, the food
service industry experienced
the largest job losses since
2009.
While most restaurant
owners can’t pack up and
leave California, it’s foolish to
ignore the potential
devastation.
Troy Paski, founder of
Hoppy Brewing Company in
Sacramento, is still adjusting
to the last minimum wage
hike. He’s worried about how
another 50% increase will
affect his business and the
ability of his customers to
enjoy a night on the town.
“It’ll be $10 for your beer
and $20 for your burger,”
Paski said. “I think a lot of
people are in for a rude
awakening when they realize
they can’t afford to eat out
anymore.”
The intentions behind a
minimum wage increase may
be pure, but it ends up
hurting the very people it’s
meant to help. Young,
inexperienced workers trying
to pay for college and
struggling families will find it
harder to find jobs when
businesses find automation to
be a cheaper option.
“At some point we’ll have to
cut staff,” Paski said. “You
can only raise prices so
much. Eventually you have to
cut service.”
Even Governor Jerry
Brown has said raising the
wage too high will cost jobs
and put a lot of poor people
out of work. Balance is
needed.
Yet the governor seems to
have given up his fight for
local control when it’s needed
most.
Think about it: $15 per hour
in Fresno means something
completely different than in
the Bay Area. Cost of living
and disposable income vary
dramatically from city to city.
And rural California is a
completely different world
than coastal cities like San
Francisco. It’s silly to treat
every part of California the
same. That’s elitism.
But if the minimum wage
isn’t the answer, how can we
help low-wage workers obtain
higher pay?
The answer lies in
understanding how value is
created. No employer in his
or her right mind would pay
$15 per hour for someone who
only provides $10 per hour of
value. The key is helping
employees gain skills so
employers want to pay them
more or risk losing the value
they provide.
There’s no easy fix to
poverty, but if the governor
and legislature want to help
Californians increase their
skills they need to prioritize
education.
Whether it’s college,
technical schools or trade
schools, workers need
opportunities to better
themselves and move up the
economic ladder. And maybe,
just maybe, if the governor
and legislature weren’t so
busy making backroom deals,
they might find time to
increase their own governing
skills. Because bad laws hurt
just about everyone.
approach politics with great
patience. Our system
discourages the rush to
judgment — it puts a
premium on including as
many voices as possible,
which takes time in a
complicated country. The
process is inevitably slow,
noisy and messy, the results
fully satisfy no one, and
more often than not, the best
we can do is to muddle
through.
Which is why, in our
system, there’s rarely a
sense of completion. The
work — on health care,
taxes, the environment, you
name it — is never done.
Nothing is ever finally
settled. There is no ultimate
solution.
Many people are also
turned off by what lies at the
center of our system: dealmaking. This involves a
clash of ideas in the public
arena, compromise and
negotiation, which make a
lot of Americans uneasy. Yet,
it’s how we resolve our
differences — and has been
since the first day of the
United States’ existence.
So politicians who insist
on purity impede solutions.
There ought to be a healthy
tension between idealism
and realism, but we have to
find a pragmatic way to
combine them. We have to
consider different points of
view, the intense
involvement of special
interest groups, and in many
cases the robust interest
shown by ordinary citizens.
This makes it challenging to
come to an agreement on
complicated issues, but it’s
necessary to keep the
country from coming apart.
Congress in recent years
has reached new levels of
polarization and failure to
address the major issues of
the day. In public meetings, I
often encounter a yearning
for leadership to solve all
our problems, usually along
the lines of, “Where are the
Abe Lincolns of our day?”
Sadly, it’s a false hope. Our
problems are made by us and
have to be resolved by us.
Abraham Lincoln’s not

government to solve all our

Did the Vatican throw out its just war doctrine?
WHERE I STAND
ERICA CHENOWETH
PEACEVOICE
Recently, the Vatican hosted
a conference on the theme of
“Nonviolence and Just Peace:
Contributing to the Catholic
Understanding of and
Commitment to
Nonviolence,” organized by
the Pontifical Council for
Justice and Peace along with
the global Catholic peace
network Pax Christi
International. In their
concluding appeal to Pope
Francis, the 80 conference
participants recommended
that he reject Just War
Doctrine as a viable or
productive Catholic tradition.
They also recommended that
he write a new encyclical
laying out the Catholic
Church’s commitment to
nonviolence in all of its
manifestations—including
nonviolent action as a means
of engaging in conflict,
nonviolent conflict resolution
as a way of resolving conflict,
and nonviolence as the
principle doctrine of the
Catholic Church.
If such an encyclical
follows, this is a big deal. The
just war tradition—which
contains numerous doctrines
morally justifying violence
and war, as well as defining
appropriate conduct during
war—has served for the past
1500 years as the primary
normative basis politicians
have evoked (correctly or
incorrectly) to validate their
waging of war. Because the
Catholic Church developed
the doctrine between the 4th
and 13th centuries, the just
war canon has had a
monopolistic influence on the
way people in the West think
about war and violence—
whether they know it or not.
Consequently, many people
now take for granted concepts
like the right to self-defense,
the importance of weighing
the goals of war against its
potential human costs, the
need to exhaust other options
before going to war, and the
necessity of only fighting
wars you think you can win.
Whether you’re the President
of the United States in D.C., a
police officer on the beat in
Denver, or a student in a selfdefense class in L.A., these
moral concepts have probably
had a deep impact on your
thinking and your experience
when it comes to the proper
uses of violence.

acknowledged the main
sticking point for many
skeptics of nonviolence—that
promoting (or using)
nonviolence can be difficult
in the face of armed
aggression. Marie Dennis, CoPresident of Pax Christi
International and a
participant at the conference,
claimed that the group fully
considered this challenge. Yet
she argued that the
international community
hasn’t yet devoted resources
to developing or discovering
nonviolent alternatives to
armed aggression because of
our reflexive turn to violence
as the only possible response.
In her words, “as long as we
keep saying we can do it with
military force, we will not
invest the creative energy, the
deep thinking, the financial
and human resources in
creating or identifying the
alternatives that actually
could make a difference.”
So—why is the Catholic
Church reconsidering now?
Reporter Terrence Lynne
argues that there are five
primary reasons for this—
among them the fact that
contemporary weapons of
war render obsolete any
positive impacts that war
might have; and what he calls
“the compelling, thrilling
saga of nonviolent action
over the 60 years since
Gandhi.” Indeed, among the
arguments Pope Francis
used to encourage the

PSREC 2016 PUBLIC NOTICE
Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative
will be conducting inspections of its
facilities throughout 2016. Specific
vegetation management projects planned
within the timbered portions of its service
area include but are not limited to,
Chandler Road, the Cromberg area, Spring
Garden
area,
Graeagle,
and
Mabie/Delleker. We will also be inspecting
for trees and other vegetation in proximity
to the power lines as required by the
California Public Resource Code Section
4293. Trees that come in contact with
power lines are a major cause of outages
on our system. PSREC strives to strike a
healthy balance between our appreciation
for trees and our obligation to provide safe,
reliable electric service. Through our tree
trimming program, we redirect tree growth
away from power lines and remove any
damaged or diseased trees so we can limit
potential damage to the power lines which
could be caused by extreme weather
conditions. If a tree grows too fast or if its
proximity to power lines is a threat to our
electric system, our experts will trim the
growth away from our equipment. Our
vegetation management is conducted
following best management practices
defined in ANSI A300 Part 7 (ANSI 2012)
and the ISA companion publication to the
ANSI A300 Standards (ISA 2007).
Currently PSREC is doing a
comprehensive mapping/inspection project
that encompasses the entire service area.
These inspections are part of our ongoing
work to provide our members with safe,
reliable electric service. We will be
inspecting electrical equipment as required
by California General Orders 95 and 128
and determining the location and condition
of our infrastructure. PSREC personnel
require access to all of its facilities
including meters. PSREC employees will
have company ID with them.

Parcel No.: 103-130-11-11 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
postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 888-988-6736
for information regarding the trustee’s sale
or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file
number assigned to this foreclosure by the
Trustee: CA-15-669984-AB . Information
about postponements that are very short in
duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be
reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to
attend the scheduled sale. The
undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability
for any incorrectness of the property
address or other common designation, if
any, shown herein. If no street address or
other common designation is shown,
directions to the location of the property
may be obtained by sending a written
request to the beneficiary within 10 days of
the date of first publication of this Notice of
Sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any
reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be
entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.
The Purchaser shall have no further
recourse against the Mortgagor, the
Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If
you have previously been discharged
through bankruptcy, you may have been
released of personal liability for this loan in
which case this letter is intended to

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
postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (714) 848-9272

Information about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement
information is to attend the scheduled sale.

top spot in the Division 3, JV
High School California Youth
Shooting Sports Association

shooters scored a combined
total of 446 points, with
Mariposa High School
trailing a close second with

Justin Giusti tied for first
place with a score of 95, and
after three rounds of shoot
offs, took second place by
only one target. Colton
Imhoff took third place with
a score of 94.
The Claybreakers once
again took two of the top
three spots in the shoot.
Other shooters competing,
were Clay Cagle, who
finished hitting 89 targets,
Wyatt Bollinger, who shot 83
targets, Carson Chavez, who
busted 81 targets, Garrett

Lassen local Travis Szostak
and his family, traveled to
Boston, Massachusetts for
Travis to compete in the
120th Boston Marathon. The
marathon took place Monday,
April 18 with about 27,491
runners showing up to
compete and a half million
people showing up to watch
and cheer. The Boston
Marathon is a total of 26.2
miles long, and it starts in
Hopkinton and finishes in
Boston.
Szostak was bib number
7635 and left with the first
wave of runners. He was part
of the age group 40-44, and he
finished in 3 hours,19
minutes and 39 seconds,
running an average of 7:37
per mile. Szostak finished
4,176 amongst the men and
women running and finished
796 in his age group.
Szostak had the support of
his mom, dad, wife and son,
who traveled with him to
show their support and cheer
him on.
While running the
marathon, Szostak’s wife
Jennifer Szostak and his 2year-old son Aiden Szostak,
met him at the 10-mile mark
and the 25.5-mile mark of the
race.
“We got to the 10-mile mark
and Travis was able to grab
Aiden for few seconds, I tried
to get a picture of them
together while Travis was
running, but the phone
wasn’t cooperating and
An excited Travis
Szostak runs the
Boston Marathon
with his arm
raised.
Photos submitted
Travis had to keep going to
keep pace,” said Jennifer
Szostak.
In order for Szostak to run
in the Boston Marathon he
had to qualify, and did so at
the local Bizz Johnson
Marathon. He had to run the
marathon in the fall of 2014
in order to qualify for this
year’s Boston Marathon.
Szostak finished fifth overall
in the Bizz Johnson
Marathon and was number
one in his age group.
To prepare for the Boston
Marathon, Szostak trained at
Anytime Fitness and was
sponsored by Anytime
Fitness as well as Lassen Ale
Works. If Szostak weren’t at
Anytime Fitness running on
the treadmill, he would
participate in other runs,
such as the Reno Tahoe
Odyssey. Although, after
preparing and training and
putting in the hard work,
Szostak would have to face
an obstacle before even
starting the Boston
Marathon.
The airlines lost his
baggage, which held
everything he needed for
running in the marathon.
Everything had to be
replaced and the airline paid
for his new gear, but Szostak
would have to run in brand
new running shoes.
If you’ve been in any kind
of sport, it’s always hard to
break in new shoes while
competing.
Even his running shirt
with his sponsors had to be
remade and overnight
shipped so that it would
arrive on time. But despite
everything happening,
Szostak was able to run in
and complete the Boston
Marathon.
“I thought I could have
done better, but with new
shoes my feet were hurting
within the first couple of
miles, but it was still an
awesome experience,” said
Szostak.
“It’s the first marathon
that I’ve been in where there
is just a wall of people on
both sides of you the entire
time you’re running and
they’re all screaming and
cheering you on.”

Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
[email protected]
On Friday, April 15 the

Memorial Park. The Cougars
struggled and fell 6-1. The
following day Saturday, April

Redding to take on Shasta at
their home field. The
Cougars did better than their
previous game with Shasta,
but still came up short 10-6.
Then again on Monday, April
18 the Cougars hosted Shasta
back at Memorial Park.
Lassen scored a few runs, but
couldn’t figure out Shasta
and lost 9-3.
In the first game against
Shasta the Cougars were
held to one run. Mason
Telander grounded out to the
shortstop, but scored Nick
Cibula who was on third
after hitting a nice triple to
center field.
Shasta scored one run in
the top of the fourth, two
runs in the seventh and their
final three runs in the ninth
to take the win.
Lassen’s pitching struggled
against Shasta going through
five pitchers. Bret Ricklefs
started and pitched for 6.2
innings against 27 batters.
He struck out three, walked
three, and allowed two hits
and two earned runs. The
next four pitchers pitched an
inning or less against Shasta.
Cibula finished the game 2for-4 with a triple and a run
scored. Ryan Smith was 1-for3 with a walk. Parker Oliver
was 1-for-4 with a walk.
In Redding the Cougars got
on the board first with on
run in the first inning.
Shasta followed that up in
the second inning with a run
of their own to tie the game
1-1, but Shasta jumped out in
front after scoring three runs
in the bottom of the fourth
inning.
The Cougars scored a solo
run in the fifth and sixth
innings while Shasta picked
up one run in the bottom of
the fifth; the score 5-3 going
into the seventh in favor of
the Shasta.
In the top of the eighth
inning Lassen rallied and
scored three runs to put
them on top by one run.
Unfortunately for Lassen,
their pitching and defense
was unable to hold up as
Shasta rallied themselves
with five runs to take the
lead and the win.
Hunter Pierce started for
Lassen and pitched three
innings, with two strikeouts.
He gave up one walk, three
hits and three earned runs.
Kevin Montgomery came in
for one inning then Jacob
Conklin was brought in to
pitch three innings. He faced
13 batters, striking out three,
walking one, with no hits
and one earned run. Ryan
Sharpe and Daylen Pajimola
faced the last six batters for
Lassen, with three hits and
three earned runs allowed.
Smith and Cibula were
both 2-for-4, Smith had two
runs scored and an RBI
triple. Cibula had a run
scored and an RBI. Mason
Telander was 1-for-3 with a
run scored and an RBI.
Chase Hauder was 1-for-3
with an RBI and Hunter
Morris was 1-for-4 with an
RBI. Kevin Montgomery was
0-for-1 with an RBI and two
walks.
Back at Memorial Park for
the third game in three days,
Lassen and Shasta squared
off once again. Lassen
started off scoring a run in
the first inning when
Montgomery knocked a
double and scored Telander.
The second and third
inning would pass without
either team scoring a run. In
the bottom of the fourth
Lassen scored two more
runs, which started with Sal
Marino hitting a double and
bringing in a run. Marino
would then score after an
RBI single by Zach Schmidt.
The Cougars were up 3-0
until the top of the fifth,
when Shasta scored four
runs to take the lead by one.
Lassen would be held
scoreless for the remainder
of the game, while Shasta
scored five more runs to end
the game 9-3.
Hauder started for the
Cougars and pitched five
innings before being
relieved. He faced 24 batters,
with one walk, nine hits and
no earned runs. Ricklefs
came in for the sixth and
pitched two innings, where
he faced 10 batters. He
allowed three hits and three
earned runs before being

Lady Cougars face tough conference opponent
Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
[email protected]
The Lassen Community College
softball team traveled to Quincy to
face the Feather River Lady Golden
Eagles. The two-game series started
on Friday, April 8 where Lassen
struggled and fell in the first game
8-4. The second game was close, but
the Lady Cougars had trouble
scoring runners and came up short
3-1. Then on Wednesday, April 13
the Lady Cougars hosted College of
the Siskiyous, in a two game series.
Lassen beat Siskiyous in both
games, winning 6-1 the first game
and 5-4 the second. Lassen played
make up games at Napa
Community College on Tuesday,
April 19. The Lady Cougars
dropped a close first game 3-2 then
blew Napa out 19-2 in the second
game.
Lassen was first to strike, scoring
three runs in the top of the second
inning when Riley Regas hit a
home run, giving Lassen the lead
until the bottom of the third. In the
bottom of the third inning Feather
River put a rally together and were
able to drive in four runs to take
the lead by one. The Lady Cougars
made sure to tie the game in the
ensuing inning, scoring one run.
However, Feather River was able to
connect on a few hits and scored
two more runs to put them back in
the lead by two. The remainder of
the game was unfruitful for the
Lady Cougars as they left runners
stranded on base and Feather River
would score two more runs for the
8-4 win.
Aleah Dela Cruz pitched five
innings for the Lady Cougars. She
faced 23 batters, with no strikeouts.
She gave up nine hits and five
earned runs. Leonna Mortimer
pitched the final inning, facing
seven batters; she struck out two,
gave up one hit and no earned runs.
Shandell Gemmel finished the
game 1-for-2 with two RBIs. Riley
Regas was 2-for-3 with a two run
homer and two runs scored. Alyssa
Jones was 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Abigail Almond was 1-for-2 and
Dela Cruz finished 2-for-4.
The second game was low scoring
and most of the action took place in
the first two innings. The Lady
Cougars scored one run in their
first at bat, but Feather River
backed it up with two runs of their
own in the team’s first at bat. The
Lady Golden Eagles would hold
Lassen scoreless for the rest of the
game, and Feather River would
score a single run in the bottom of
the second. The rest of the game
was scoreless and Feather River
won 3-1.
Dela Cruz started on the mound
and pitched a complete game. She
faced 24 batters over six innings,
striking out one, giving up nine
hits and three earned runs.
The Lady Cougars had seven hits
with chances to score, but were
unable to capitalize. Both Almond
and Morgan Tilford finished the
game 2-for-3. Taylor Knecht was 1for-3 with an RBI. Dela Cruz and
Kennedy Ford both went 1-for-4;
Ford also had a run scored.
Back at home the Lady Cougars
hosted College of the Siskiyous for
a doubleheader and looked to make
up for the two losses against
Feather River. The first two innings
were all pitching and defense with
neither team scoring a run, until
the bottom of the third where the
Lady Cougars brought in three
runs. A few errors committed by
Siskiyous went in the Lady Cougars
favor by scoring a run and
advancing base runners into
scoring position.
By the top of the fifth Siskiyous
was able to score one run to make
the score 3-1, however, in the sixth
inning Lassen erupted for three
more runs to add to their lead. In
the final innings Lassen’s defense
and pitching held up and they won
6-1.
Dela Cruz pitched the complete
game against Siskiyous, facing 31
batters and striking out four. She
allowed seven hits and no earned
runs.
Knecht finished the game 2-for-3
with two runs scored. Alyssa Jones
was 1-for-2 with an RBI. Julisa
Rodriguez finished 1-for-3 with an
RBI triple and a run scored. Regas
was 1-for-3 with a run scored and
two RBIs.
The second game was a lot closer
than the first, but ended with the
same result. Lassen was on the
board first in the bottom of the
second inning with a single run,
but Siskiyous countered with three
runs in the top of the third, making
the score 3-1. But in the next three
innings Lassen would chip away at
Siskiyous lead, scoring a single run
in both the third and fourth innings
to tie the game. Then after keeping
Siskiyous scoreless in the top of the
fifth, Lassen brought home two
runs to take the lead 5-3.
Siskiyous was able to pick up one
run in the top of the seventh to get
within one run, but Lassen held
them off and came away with the
two game sweep.
Dela Cruz again started and
pitched the entire game for Lassen.
She faced 34 batters, gave up 12 hits,
four earned runs and had five
strikeouts.
Leonna Mortimer was 1-for-1
with an RBI and two walks.
Shandell Gemmel and Morgan
Tilford both went 1-for-2 with a run
scored and Tilford also had an RBI
double. Ford was 1-for-2 with two
walks. Rodriguez was 2-for-3 with
her second RBI triple in two games
and two runs scored. Knecht was 2for-3 with and RBI and a run
scored.
In Napa the first game of the
series started slow and was at a
stalemate until the top of the fifth
inning when the Lady Cougars
scored the first run of the game.
However, Napa followed suit in the
bottom of the sixth inning to tie the
game at 1-1. In the top of the
seventh Lassen took back the lead
with a solo run scored, but it was
short lived when Napa scored two
runs in the bottom of the same
inning to top Lassen by a run.
Dela Cruz pitched all seven for
the Lady Cougars, facing 32 batters.
She retired five batters, allowed six
hits and no earned runs.
Riley Regas and Alyssa Jones
both finished the game 1-for-2 with
a run scored and Regas also
walked. Gemmel, Tilford,
Rodriguez and Ford each went 1-for3, Gemmel and Ford also had an
RBI each. Mortimer was 0-for-2
with two walks.
The second game was much
different than the first game, in
that Lassen couldn’t help, but score.
Each inning, except for the fifth
inning, was a rally for the Lady
Cougars. The team started the first
inning, driving in four runs to take
a 4-0 lead to start the game.
The Lady Cougars would score
three in the second inning, eight
runs in the third, and four in the
fourth, burying Napa in a 19 run
deficit.
While continuing to score runs
Lassen held Napa to zero until the
bottom of the fifth when they
finally scored two runs to keep
from getting shut out, but couldn’t
over come the multiple runs scored
by Lassen.
Mortimer was the starter for
Lassen and pitched the entire five
innings. She faced 20 batters,
allowed four hits and two earned
runs.
Everyone on the team
contributed to getting at least one
hit against Napa. Tilford finished
the game 3-for-3 with two runs
scored and four RBIs.
Knecht was 2-for-4 with two runs
scored and four RBIs. Ford was 3for-4 with three runs scored and
two RBIs. Gemmel was 1-for-2 with
two runs scored and three RBIs.

Lassen Grizzlies league play off to a great start

Sports Writer
[email protected]

one on the ground.
Lady Grizzlies to host
softball tournament
The Lassen Grizzly
baseball team is off to a
great season start so far.
After playing and winning
their first league game at
home, the Grizzlies headed
out to Anderson High School.
The second league game of
the season started on Friday,
April 8 against the Cubs.
Lassen overwhelmed the
Cubs, shutting them out 10-0.
Then on Tuesday, April 12
the Grizzlies were back home
hosting the Corning
Cardinals at Memorial Park.
Lassen came out on top for
their third league win 4-1
before heading to Corning to
play the Cardinals at home
on Friday, April 15. Lassen
mounted a come back late in
the game but came up just
one run short as the
Cardinals squeaked out the
win 7-6.
Lassen played really well
against Anderson, the
defense and pitching really
came through. The Grizzlies
were two hits from a perfect
game against the Cubs. The
game started with Lassen
scoring one run in the first to
open things up. After a
scoreless second inning the
Grizzlies scored three runs
in back to back innings of
the third and fourth, making
the score 7-0. The Grizzlies
scored their final three runs
in the top of the sixth inning
to end the game early 10-0.
Izak Davenport pitched the
shutout for the Grizzlies,
where he pitched all six
innings, compiling nine
strikeouts and only two hits
given up.
Kobe Jackson did well
finishing the game 2-for-2
with two runs scored.
Tommy Sharpe was 1-for-1
with three runs scored and
an RBI. Hunter St. Andre,
Carson Chavez, Jacob
Bennett and Bryce
Giacomelli were all 1-for-3 for
the day. Bennett had two
RBIs and a run scored, St.
Andre had one RBI and
Chavez had a run scored.
Both Jaggar Delgado and
Davenport were 1-for-4,
Delgado with two RBIs and
Davenport with one.
The Grizzlies then hosted
the Corning Cardinals at
home for their third league
game of the season. Lassen
wasted no time, and in the
first two innings scored all
four of their runs. They
started the first inning with
one run, and then in the
second went on a three run
rally to boost the teams lead
to 4-0.
Pitching and defense again
did really well, holding the
Cardinals to zero until the
top of the sixth inning when
they picked up one run to
keep from getting shut out.
Neither team scored a run in
the final inning, and the
Grizzlies went on to win it 41.
Sharpe pitched a complete
game for the Grizzlies and
faced 25 batters. He struck
out four allowed one hit and
walked one, with no earned
runs.
Davenport finished the
game hitting 2-for-3 for
Lassen. St. Andre was 1-for-3
with an RBI.
In Corning the Grizzlies
had trouble getting things
started as the Cardinals had
a 2-0 lead until the top of the
fifth inning. In the top of the
fifth, Lassen rallied for four
runs to put them up by two.
Although the Cardinals were
also successful in the fifth,
scoring three runs to put
them back up by one run.
In the top of the sixth,
Lassen managed a run to tie
it but the Cardinals would
score at the bottom of the
inning to put them up by one.
The same happened in the
final inning with Lassen
scoring in the top of the
inning but the Cardinals able
to pick up one run for the
win.
Davenport started on the
mound for Lassen and
pitched 4.2 innings. He
struck out three, allowed 11
hits and two earned runs.
Bennett came in and pitched
1.1 innings with one
strikeout, one hit and one
earned run.
Giacomelli finished the
game 2-for-3 with a three run
triple. Davenport and
Delgado were both 1-for-3
with a run scored and
Delgado had an RBI. Chavez
finished 2-for-4 with an RBI.
St. Andre, Dyer and Bennett
all went 1-for-4; both Dyer
and Bennett hit doubles,
while St. Andre had a run
scored.

The Mountain Bass
Association presented the
Susanville Auto Center Open
Small Mouth Bass
Tournament on Saturday,
April 2 at Lake Almanor. The
event drew 37 boats
consisting of both local
anglers along with several
from out of the area to
determine who would bring
the heaviest five fish to the
scales.
Weights were not as heavy
as in previous years and the
top eight teams were
separated by just over one
and a half pounds. After it
was all said and done, local
anglers Joe Leone and Trent
Bauer were the champions
with 17.06 lbs.
The remainder of the
leader board was 2nd Michael White and Ryan
White, 16.40 lbs; 3rd - Danny
Row and Alan Row, 16.32 lbs;
4th (tie) Rick Smith and
George Snook; 16.22 lbs; Dave
Solari and Ryan Culver 16.22

Spring fishing continues to improve as temperatures increase
Michael Condon
Staff Writer
[email protected]
It has always been my
private conviction that any
man who pits his intelligence
against a fish and loses has it
coming
~ John Steinbeck
Our local lakes continue to
fish well as we transition
from ice out conditions to
spring fishing. Access to the
higher elevation lakes
continues to improve and the
general stream opener on
April 30 is just around the
corner.
If you have not yet bought
your fishing license, they are
available online at
ca.gov/licensing/onlinesales.
I like the convenience of
buying my license online. It
took me about three minutes
to buy my 2016 license. And
by printing the online
receipt, I was able to fish the
same day. It takes about 10
days for the official copy to
arrive by mail.
The first time you
purchase a hunting or
fishing license online, you
set up an account. Your
account stores your
information online. The next
time you buy a license it’s
very quick and easy because
all of your information is
already there.
Some folks may object to
having personal information
online, but my address and
phone number are in the
phone book and I am not too
worried about someone
finding my height, weight,
hair and eye color.
I like the convenience.
Lake Almanor
Trolling is not red hot, but
patient anglers are catching
some very nice fish, both
rainbows and browns.
We seem to being seeing a
more settled and warming
weather pattern now. That
should bring improved
fishing especially as the full
moon begins to wane.
Surface temperatures are
in the high 40- to low 50degree range. Water clarity is
very good in the west and
improving nicely in the east
basin.
I like to focus on the west
basin this time of year
because the clarity is better,
the water warms a bit more
quickly and the insect
activity tends to be better ...
that all adds up to better
odds of hooking up with one
of Almanor’s large browns
Diamond Mountain Farms
or rainbows.
Doug Neal, of Almanor
Fishing Adventures, reports
lots of insect larva in the fish
that he has checked. Doug
says there are some insect
hatches starting and he
expects the insect activity to
increase as the temperature
warms.
Doug reports that trollers
are getting nice hookups
from Goose Bay to Airport
Flats, at Rec. 2, Prattville,
and along the east shore. The
bite has been good, trolling
naked crawlers in the top 10
feet of water, and with
dodger/crawler rigs fished 10
to 16 feet deep.
Bryan Raccucci, of Big
Daddy’s Guide Service, has
been working more of the
open water on the west, east
and north sides of the lake.
Bryan reports finding
some very nice fish just
about everywhere and
expects this spring pattern
should hold for at least the
next several weeks.
Check out Big Daddy’s
Facebook page for some
great pictures of his recent
catches.
All public boat ramps are
open and the docks are in
place.
Lake Davis
Fishing is fair overall.
Water temperatures are in
the low 50-degree range and
warming slowly.
Lake Davis has a healthy
population of beautiful
rainbow trout.
Right now they are in the
middle of their spring
spawn. They run up the
feeder creeks on the east side
of the lake to spawn. The
creeks themselves are still
closed to fishing to protect
the spawning fish, but preand post-spawn fish can be
found along the east shore of
the lake, especially at the
creek mouths.
Callibaetis mayflies and
small midges are providing
the most action for fly
anglers. Try dark midge
patterns and flashback
pheasant tails fished under
an indicator.
Other effective flies
include wiggle tails and
woolly bugger patterns in
brown, burnt orange, olive,
and black.
Be on the lookout for blood
midges and damselflies.
Those should start showing
within the next few weeks.
That is when the fishing gets
really good.
Bucks Lake
Bucks Lake is 100 percent
full and absolutely beautiful
right now. I visited the lake a
few days ago and there were
only two boats on the entire
lake.
The road to the lake is
open over the summit, but it
has not been plowed beyond
Haskin’s. The ramp at Lake
Shore Resort is open, but the
Bucks Lake Marina ramp
was closed on my visit.
I could not get any reports
from anglers, but based on
my own prior experience this
should be an excellent time
to fish Bucks. The Mackinaw,
brown trout and rainbow
trout should all be in close to
shore in shallow water
actively feeding.
This is probably the best
time of year to catch the
larger fish that Bucks has to
offer. Try trolling in close to
shore with fast action lures
like Rapalas or Speedy
Shiners.
Streams
Many area streams open
on April 30 and others like
those that flow into Lake
Almanor, Lake Davis or Butt
Lake do not open until May
28.
But if you are anxious to
get out for a little stream
fishing there is one local
option. The Middle Fork of
the Feather River upstream
of the Mohawk Bridge
opened April 2.
The water is still pretty
high and cold making for
some tough fishing. Local
guide Jon Biaocchi fished the
Middle Fork when it first
opened and reported some
action on woolly buggers, but
not much response to
nymphs.
I am guessing the water
has warmed some since Jon’s
visit, so I would still be
inclined to try dark-colored
midge nymph patterns in a
dropper rig.
A few weeks ago, I made a
bleak forecast for the April 30
stream opener. I was
expecting continued wet and
warm weather that would
result in lots of runoff
making for some pretty
tough fishing.
Well, the weather is
warming a bit now, but
generally the past few weeks
have been on the cool and
dry side. It seems our El
Nino is running out of
steam.
If that holds up, the opener
may be better than I thought.
If you are making plans for
some early stream fishing,
keep an eye on the weather.
Wet and/or warm weather
can make for to much runoff.
