Minor injuries in Cedar Pass mishap
Minor injuries resulted from an accident Dec. 14,
11:05 a.m. on State Route 299, east of Cedar Pass.
The California Highway Patrol reports that Donna
Drew, age 74, Fort Bidwell, was westbound in a 2000
Chevy in a sudden snowstorm. Road conditions were
very icy and the vehicle lost traction, slid off the north
side of the road and overturned onto its side.
According to Reporter Jean Bilodeaux -- who happened on the accident soon after it occurred -- passersby, including her, stopped to help the Drews.
“We couldn’t get the door open so eventually I
rammed a crutch in the small opening when John
(Edward Drew, 75, passenger in the Chevy) jerked the
door open for a second,” Bilodeaux said. “Of course,
this is on a blind curve both ways, with no cell reception. Anyway, a lady stopped and said she’d call for
help from the top of the pass. Another man stopped
and I backed my truck against the bottom of the rolled
truck and we lowered John down to the bed of the
truck and onto the ground. UPS’s Ernie Givan, then
BLM, USFS, passersby, and the CHP all tried to get
Donna out but she had to wait until the Cedarville
Fire Department showed up and broke out the windshield.”
Both Drews were transported to Surprise Valley
Medical Center with minor injuries.
Clarification on
trapper funding
Last week, we printed that the county funds for the
trapper program amounted to $94,000 annually. What
should be clarified is that is funding for two separate
trappers who operate in Modoc County.
In addition, the State of California is no longer involved in the trapper program. The funds come predominately from the county with some funds from the
federal government.
The wages for the trapper have also been frozen at
current levels by both the county and the federal government.
SR299 East gets a
much needed facelift
By Jean Bilodeaux
Special to the Record
State Highway 299 east of Cedarville to the Nevada line has been slowly deteriorating in the last few
years. In the last couple of months, with increased and
heavy pipeline traffic it has almost been destroyed.
“At first it was just hundreds of pot holes and you
could dodge most of them if there was no oncoming
traffic. Now it’s dangerous to drive out there. The
road shoulder is crumbling, there are too many holes
to dodge, the highway is narrowed, and some holes go
clear across the highway,” said District 1 Supervisor
elect Dave Allan, who drives the road to town.
As the pot holes increase in number and size Cal
Trans crews fill them almost weekly. Then the holes
see SR 299, page 5
There were minor injuries in a single-vehicle accident
Dec. 12, 7:40 a.m. on U.S. 395 north of Sage Hen.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Judy
Miguel, 70, Alturas, was southbound in a 1994 Ford
Thunderbird at about 60 m.p.h. in a left curve. She accelerated slightly coming out of the curve and the vehicle lost traction on the slippery road. The car slid off
the highway and overturned, resulting in minor injuries
to the driver and a passenger, Lauri Sprinkle, age 52,
Alturas.
No injuries were reported in an accident Dec. 3, 12:50
p.m. on SR299 west of Thomas Creek Drive.
The CHP reports that Javier Francisco, 66, Merrill, Or.
had stopped his 2000 Chevy on the right shoulder. Rex
Northrup, age 52, was plowing the right shoulder area
directly behind Francisco. Northrup failed to observe the
vehicle stopped and backed into the rear of the Chevy.
The were no injuries in another weather-related accident Dec. 14, 6 p.m. on SR299, .8 miles west of CR150.
The CHP reports that Dennis Richardson, 58, Alturas,
was eastbound in a 1988 Ford Ranger at about 45 m.p.h.
when he lost control of the vehicle on the snow and ice.
The Ford traveled off the road and the front end struck a
barbed wire fence. The pickup came to rest on its wheels
and neither occupant was hurt. The pickup had minor
front-end damage.
Modoc Medical Center showed a profit of $85,000 for
the month of October, the last available monthly totals.
Monica Derner, MMC Chief Executive Officer, reported that figure to the Modoc County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning. She explained that revenue was
up $292,000 for the month.
In addition, she pointed out that the Clinic was up
$230,000. Dr. Chuck Colas started Oct. 4. Med/Surgical
was up $65,000 while the Skilled Nursing Facility was
up $27,000, now sitting with 43 residents. The pharmacy was up $27,000 and ER up $12,000. The following
departments showed a decrease of the following individual amounts: ambulance $30,000; lab $12,000; and
Radiology $14,000.
One of the sticking issues is the days out for accounts
receivable, which are now at 95 days. Derner said an
aggressive plan is in the works to trim that down to 65
days.
The Board also agreed to bring back the issue of
the California Health Facilities Financing Authority
$750,000 loan for the hospital at a meeting next week.
The loan was initially approved for Modoc Medical
Center, but was placed on hold until Modoc voters approved the hospital district the last of August. The district is currently in the transition stages from being a
county-owned facility to a district hospital. The District
Board has targeted April 1 to get the transition complete.
According to Derner, the loan will provide some
breathing room for the facility during the overall transition.
The loan shall not exceed $750,000 and carries an interest rate of three percent. Derner said the loan has a
two-year term, and the district expects to have it paid
by June 30, 2012.
Severe weather
warning in area
The National Weather Service has issued a heavy precipitation warning for northern California from Friday
through the middle of next week.
The main concern is the possibility of flooding if the
area is hit with rain at the highest elevations, which
would melt a fairly healthy snowpack. For instance Dismal Swamp now has 41 inches of snow and Cedar Pass

If that address says Grandma, Cedarville
it’ll get to that Grandma in Cedarville
By Jean Bilodeaux
Special to the Record
A letter comes into the
Cedarville Post Office addressed to Grandma and
Grandpa 96104. Most
postmasters would stamp
it “undeliverable” or “return to sender” and toss it
in the outgoing mailbag.
Margaret “Marge” Conklin, Cedarville Postmaster,
studies the postal mark a
moment and slips it in the
correct postal box.
With 56 years of experience working at the same
location Conklin knows
everyone, their children,
grandchildren and even
great-grandchildren. She
knows
where
they’ve
moved and what they’re
doing. She knows who
grandma and grandpa are
to everyone. Even the UPS
and FedEx drivers stop
by and ask where certain
hard to locate people live,
even if they live in Nevada.
MARGE CONKLIN separates the packages in
Cedarville.
The Cedarville Post post office for residents of
Office also has the dis- Vya, Nev. Vya and its surtinction of being the rounding locale has resi-
dents but no post office
or zip code. People who
live in northwestern
Nevada receive their
mail addressed to Vya,
Nev.-Cedarville,
Calif. 96104. Sometimes
it can be confusing to
huge shippers to send
packages to a town in
Nevada which is on the
maps, but isn’t listed
officially as a town and
that uses a town in California to get its mail.
But Conklin knows
and they all get their
mail Conklin receives
gifts from her grateful
customers throughout
the year: fruit, vegetables and flowers in the
summer and candy and
cookies in the winter.
“We bring Marge
fresh heirloom tomatoes in the summer.
She does a wonderful
job, but we must always keep on her good

Local support. . .
Okay, as of today, we all have nine days to shop
for Christmas presents, and in doing so, support local businesses who have supported the community all
year long.
I know we keep pushing the shop at home first plan,
but really it is vitally important for the community.
First off, a portion of the sales tax comes back to local
government and that helps all of us. I mean, I know
you can shop in Klamath Falls or Reno, but how many
of those businesses do you see on the sponsorship banners of local events – you know high school, middle
school, little league and so on.
Secondly, the local businesses employ a lot of your
friends and neighbors. And that’s seriously important.
In addition, shopping here supports the local business
people and a community without quality businesses
looks like a sad, sad place. We have quality businesses
in Modoc that add a lot to the overall community’s personality. We really don’t want to lose any more businesses.
We all know you can’t get everything here, but at
least give the local businesses a chance before you
head out of town.
Judging by my discussions with FedEx and UPS
drivers, a lot of people are using Internet shopping
this year, with about a 25 to 30 percent increase in
volume (unofficial estimate). One thing I do know is
that it’s keeping those drivers running. Give them a
cookie when they show up, they might need some more
energy. I know using the Internet is pretty simple, but
you miss that person-to-person shopping experience.
And besides, you can’t reach out and touch what you’re
buying until it arrives. Sometimes the surprise is just
too much to handle.
Both Supervisors Dan Macsay of Surprise Valley,
and Dave Bradshaw of Big Valley, are leaving office at
the end of the month. They’re being replaced by Dave
Allan and Geri Byrne, who will have their hands full
from the time the gate opens.
Overall, I can say that both the departing Supervisors have done what they felt was in the best interests of the County while taking on a pretty thankless job. Both have done things we didn’t agree with,
but they’ve also made some tough decisions in tough
times. Keeping Modoc Medial Center open, while getting the county into some financial trouble, was still
the right thing to do. We can work our way out of that,
well better than we could work our way out of a closed
hospital.
They sat on the Board of Supervisors for eight years
each, and that’s a long time of listening to the public,
or us, question some of their decisions. It’s not easy to
stay focused or not have an inner Marine take over in
some cases. But, we have respect for both Bradshaw
and Macsay and wish them peace of mind as they get
on with their lives.

What a sad
happening
Dear Editor:
Jean Bilodeaux’s special to the Modoc County
Record about the closure
of the longest, continually operating mine in the
U.S. makes me wonder if
the shutdown is due to environmental regulations
more than for economic
reasons.
The spring 2009 issue
of Range Magazine has
an eye-opening article by
Mike Cade about resource
users in Mexico and how
Nature Conservancy, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife, and the
World Wildlife Fund were
instrumental in denying
the Mexican people the
use of their resources to
eke out a meager living.
One of these resources
happened to be a gypsum
mine that had operated
for many years. The concern was that an endemic
microorganism might be
harmed during the course
of extraction.
I fail to understand the
goal of environmentalists who want to destroy
people’s lives and make us
wards of the state. I hope
more people wake up to
what’s been happening
and take a stand against
these agencies and groups
that want to tear this
country down and take
away our ability to make
a living.
Thank you,
-- Vaudine Cullins

When will
we learn?
Dear Editor:
In the end more than
they wanted freedom, they
wanted security. When the
Athenians finally wanted
not to give to society but
for society to give to them,
when the freedom they
wished for was freedom
from responsibility, then
Athens ceased to be free.

What will it take for us
to learn the lessons of the
past?

Alturas
Nutcracker
was great
Dear Editor:
It has been a few years
between
grandchildren,
but last night I was once
again awed and inspired
by the talent of the Alturas
Elementary School fourth
and fifth graders.
Their performance of
the Nutcracker, under the
direction of Karen Siegel,
was amazing. I realize
that numerous individuals were assisting in the
background and the costumes designed by Mrs.
Jones were awesome. But,
the greatest praise goes to
the dedication of Mrs. Siegel and the children.
These children have
been practicing for this
play since September and
their hard work and dedication definitely showed.
My grandson, Wyatt, was
a superb baker! Bravo to
all who performed, both
on stage and behind the
scenes.

make the AES Fourth and Fifth Grade production of
“The Nutcracker” a huge success.
To Noelle Jones, your costume vision always amazes
me and I highly respect you. To Larry and Kathy Brown
and Sage Stage, thank you for the use of your buildings
for our dressing rooms. To Kevin Haggard, the Niles

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

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

side because Marge knows all,” laughs local Bunne
Hartman.
Overhearing the conversation in front of the post office, another individual adds, “She does know everything, but she never tells anything. She keeps good
secrets.”
Conklin was born in Alturas, raised in Canby and
graduated from Surprise Valley High School in 1954.
In 1958, she started working part time at the
Cedarville Post Office, which was located in the small
building to the south of its current location. The place
had no phone. In 1972, she became Postmaster and
the Post Office had moved to its present facility.
Conklin has seen dramatic fluctuations in the area’s
population. During the operation of the Hog Ranch
Gold mine in the 1980s and 90s more boxes were added in the lobby to handle the increase in customers.
Each spring some locals order their chicks to be delivered to the post office. Once in awhile the chicks get
loose, and Marge dutifully herds little balls of yellow
fluff around the post office until they are safely back
in a box. Of course, the chicks are thirsty so she gives
them a drink before calling the addressee to come and
get them.
“We get bees too, but thank goodness they stay in
their boxes.”
“We have two customers who almost daily ship internationally. It’s been interesting to learn how to address and ship to places most people, including me,
have never even heard of,” said Conklin.
If a small child comes in, stands on tippy-toe to see
over the counter and asks for Granny’s mail, Conklin
knows whose mail to give.
“Sometimes Granny is just sitting in her car outside,
but if the child is the responsible type, I’ll let them
have the mail to take home,” said Conklin.
There is no home delivery in Cedarville, but occasionally she will use part of her lunch hour to take
mail to a person who is sick and housebound.
Each December, Conklin adds another aspect to her
already varied job description, she becomes Santa’s
helper. More than 500 packages come through the
cramped post office in December as the month progresses and many people only pick up their mail once
a week, the boxes and gifts are stacked higher and
Stewardship Committee
meets Jan. 13 in Cedarville
Varied public land natural resource topics will be
on the agenda when the Modoc-Washoe Experimental
Stewardship Steering Committee meets Thursday, Jan
13, at 9a.m., at the Bureau of Land Management Surprise Field Office, 602 Cressler St. in Cedarville. The
meeting is open to the public.
The committee will discuss the effects of the Ruby
Pipeline project on livestock grazing permittees, consider funding opportunities, hear a presentation on the
use of Facebook, and hear a report on the Nevada Cowhead grazing allotment.
Technical review teams will report on grazing fee
credit, and work in the Emerson/Cottonwood and Bare
areas. Committee members will consider a proposal for
technical review team work in the Tuledad and Home
Camp grazing allotments.
The committee will hear an update on wild horse
management at Sand Creek and in the Painted Point
area. Members will also hear updates from the BLM,
Modoc National Forest and other member agencies.
The steering committee advises the BLM’s Surprise
Field Office and the Modoc National Forest’s Warner
Mountain Ranger District on natural resource issues
and livestock grazing management on public lands.
One of three such committees established by Congress,
the group works on a full consensus basis to promote
innovative range management approaches and provide
incentives for excellence.
Members represent broad interests, including livestock grazing permit holders, California and Nevada
state wildlife agencies, the BLM, Forest Service, resource conservation districts, timber interests, environmental groups, sporting groups and local government.
There is a Christmas bag full of good reasons to shop
at home first for the holidays this year.
Just the major convenience of hopping in your car and
driving five minutes versus several hours, and being
able to park right in front or within a block of the business is a pretty big advantage.
Secondly, local businesses are here for you every day
and are invested in the community, they care and they
employ many of your family, friends and neighbors. Actually, they are the driving force behind the local economy and employment.

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

Missing Shasta girl

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

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

Doris E. Knight
Doris Elva (McKanna)
Knight, 84, of Alturas, CA,
passed away in her sleep,
with her daughter Sandy
and her son-in-law Marty
at her side on December
10, 2010 at Modoc Medical
Center, Alturas, CA.
Doris was born April 3,
1926, in Seward Township
- Kendall County, Illinois
the daughter of Leon Clifford and Esther A. (Vickery) McKanna. Doris attended and graduated from
McKanna Grade School in
Plattville, IL, and in 1944
graduated from Minooka
High School, Minooka, IL.
That same year, she married William (Bill) Robert
Rimke in Joliet, IL; they
had three children together. Doris worked for
the Joliet Arsenal. The
Joliet Army Ammunition
Plant formerly known as
the Joliet Arsenal, was a
United States Army arsenal located in Will County,
Illinois, opened in 1940
during World War II. The
facility consisted of the Elwood Ordnance Plant and
the Kankakee Ordnance
Works. In 1945, the two
were deactivated and combined, forming the Joliet
Arsenal. Doris worked on
the ammunition assembly line as a cap installer
during 1944-45. She had
a zest for life and loved
serving people. She and
Bill opened a Bar & Grill
serving her famous beefdip sandwiches. Later,
they ventured into operating a Tasty Freeze (on
Route 66). Doris loved to
drive; she drove stock cars
and did so at the Route 66
Raceway, a drag racing
strip in the Chicago-suburb of Joliet and at the
County Fair in Morris,
IL. In 1963, Doris, Bill
and the three kids packed
it up and drove to Southern California, where she
lived for 12 years where
Doris’ love to serve people
continued. She worked
in Orange County as a
waitress at The Wooden
Shoe, the Denver House,
Saddle Back Inn and Benjies Deli. Her outstanding
service and pleasant attitude landed her a waitress
position at The Newporter
Inn in Newport Beach,
CA, a place where celebrities would frequently helicopter in to dine. In Doris’
spare time, she was an
Avon Representative, and
awarded highest sales in
her region for the entire
year. Doris was offered a
management position at
Alfonzo’s Deli in Irvine,
CA. She managed and
cooked for four separate
locations.
Doris was united in marriage on June 19, 1972, to
Edwin L. Knight and they
spent the next 36 years together, until his death on
January 30, 2009. In 1976,
Doris, Ed and daughter
Sandy moved to Alturas,
CA to build their home.
Doris continued her love
as a waitress where she
worked for the Beacon
Coffee Shop 1976-77, and
then as the dinner cook for
Warnerview Convalescent
home. From 1977 to 1983,
Doris worked for Citizens
Utilities Telephone Company working in the business office and as the areas’ 11p.m. – 7a.m. night
operator. She often spoke
of those days of partylines and locals dialing
“O” for operator and she
would answer. For a pe-
Doris Knight
riod of time she worked in
the office of JFG Motors
in Alturas, before retiring
from the Modoc County
Tax Collectors Office in
1997. Doris loved to work
and had done so her entire
life year after year since
the early age of 13.
Doris was a past-member of the Eastern Star;
she joined the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Auxiliary
to Pete Christensen Post
3327 in 1996 and became
a life member in 1998; a
member of the Clifford
Harter American Legion
Aux. # 163 for 19 years,
where she served as Vice
President for five years
and as the historian for
two years. She also was
a life member of the Disabled American Veterans
Aux. Chapter 113 where
she served for over 20
years and held the office of
secretary-treasurer. She
loved friends and family,
animals, cooking and baking, bazaars, civic events,
crafts, sewing, cribbage,
cards, shopping, word find
puzzles, and all sports on
TV.
Doris is survived by
her three children: sons
Donald and wife Virginia
Rimke of Chino Hills, CA,
Ronald Rimke of Placentia, CA and her daughter
Sandra (Rimke) and husband Martin Shaffer of
Alturas, CA; brothers Gerald and wife Beryl McKanna of Newark, IL, Russell

Lifelong Alturas resident Tracy Lynn Hewitt,
44, passed away November 28, 1010 at her home
on the ranch in Alturas,
CA. Tracy was born at
Modoc Medical Center,
Alturas, CA on July 14,
1966, to Robert and Carol Hewitt. She attended
Modoc schools.
Tracy was good at lots
of things – driving, teaching, canning, reading,
loving, caring and cooking. She knew how to
make the dough rise and
the cakes never fell. She
made mean dinners and
had a big heart, taking
care of sick, abandoned
animals. She also helped
her parents take care of
the children who stayed
with them. She did lots of
office and paper work and
helped her Dad and Mom
on the ranch.
Tracy liked swimming,
camping and playing on
the computer. She loved
her animals, loved and enjoyed spending time with
her family and friends.
She truly was a loving,
caring person, who will be
missed by many.
She is survived by her
mother and father Carol
and Robert Hewitt of
Alturas; grandmother Doris McKee, Alturas, CA;
Thank you Modoc and beyond for buying tickets from
the Surprise Valley Quilters throughout the year.
Leland Miller was the winner. He gave it back to us
to send to the American Hero Quilt program, which is
based in Vashon, Washington here on the west coast.

Lighting
up the
night
The Alturas Chamber of
Commerce is sponsoring
a residential Christmas
Lighting and Decorating
contest for dwellings in the
Alturas area. The Chamber will award Alturas
Bucks redeemable for
purchases at Alturas businesses. Watch next week’s
Record for the Chamber’s
selected picks as winners
and their prizes.
HAND-MADE Angel ornament purchases will aid Modoc Senior Center.
Angels helping in the wings
Each one is different and hand-made,
but the reason for them is the same – to
aid the Modoc County Senior Citizen’s
Association. Select an angel ornament
hanging on the Christmas tree near
the front door at Seab’s True Value in
Alturas and the $3 proceeds from each
sale will be donated to the Senior Center in Alturas.
A Senior Center volunteer for 20 years
who rides the bus to the center, Frances Hughes made the 200 angels in the
hopes of generating funds to help the
center. At the suggestion of her granddaughter Jennifer Barcia, who owns
True Value with her husband Jason,
the location was set.
“When I stopped working, I wanted to
do something - so I began helping at the
Senior Center,” says Mrs. Hughes. “I’ve
done fancy work all my life and give angels to family members each year. This
year, family members contributed 24
rolls of thread and some materials to
help create 320 angels.
A very modest senior herself, Mrs.
Hughes shuns notoriety, but was selected as a Plumas Bank Kindness Award
recipient recently “for adding so much
joy to the senior center, especially for
making 200 beautiful hand-made angels for the senior center Christmas
tree.” Plumas Bank donated $30 in her
honor to Modoc County Senior Citizen’s
Association.

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

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

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons
who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: VIVIAN
MAXINE KEMBLE, aka
VIVIAN M. KEMBLE, aka
VIVIAN KEMBLE.
A Petition for Probate
has been filed by: Cecil R.
Kemble, Karen M. Hill,
and Dixie D. Kemble in
the Superior Court of California, County of: Modoc.
The Petition for Probate
requests that: Cecil R.
Kemble, Karen M. Hill,
and Dixie D. Kemble be
appointed as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the
decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted
to probate. The will and
any codicils are available
for examination in the file
kept by the court.
The petition requests
authority to administer
the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
authority will allow the
personal representative to
take many actions without
obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal representative will be required
to give notice to interested
persons unless they have
waived notice or have consented to the proposed
action.) The independent
administration authority
will be granted unless an
interested person files an
objection to the petition
and shows good cause why
the court should not grant
the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this
court as follows: January 10, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Address of court: Superior
Court of California, County of Modoc, 205 South
East Street, Alturas, CA

If you object to the
granting of the petition,
you should appear at the
hearing and state your
objections or file written
objections with the court
before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor
or contingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed by the
court within four months
from the date of the first
issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire
before four months from
the hearing date noticed
above.
You may examine the
file kept by the court.
If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the
filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A
Request for Special Notice
form is available from the
county clerk.
