CSD continues battle with LAFCO FALL RIVER MILLS — The directors of the Fall River Valley Community Services District unanimously agreed to send a letter to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) board, questioning what they were being billed for, giving their interpretation of the law under which LAFCO operates and telling that agency’s board that they did not understand the several page breakdown of the bill already submitted to them and said it was vague. “It is a bloated, ambiguous bill,” said Director Barbara Briggs. She went on to say that they probably did owe LAFCO some money, but not the amount LAFCO claimed. The board members said they found the letter non-confrontational and reasonable. Board Chair Jerry Monath and board member Barbara Briggs did have a difference of opinion over a comment Briggs made about it might be necessary to hire an attorney to appear before LAFCO for them. One of the board members pointed out that it was largely the attorney fees and their battle with LAFCO that had the district in the financial crisis it was now in. Briggs countered that they had won with their attorney before and other board members countered during discussion regarding the fact that any win the district’s counsel had made was lost when the board reversed its decisions in the following meeting. LAFCO Executive Director Amy Mickelson had sent the district a letter which the board refused to discuss because it had come in too late to get on the agenda. She had, she said e-mailed it to others on the list by mistake she said in a follow-up e-mail. Mickelson asked that the directors consider and act on the letter at the meeting which they did not. In that letter she states that the CSD presented their first bill for payment October 31, 2012 for $8,785.55. The letter states “typically, LAFCO will not proceed with consideration of a proposal with a significant balance owed.” Mickelson went on to say in her letter to the board “In an effort to work effectively with the district, the LAFCO Chairman asked the general manager for the balance owed at the November 15, 2012 hearing. It was only based upon the assurance of Mr. Van den Bergh that the bill would be paid that the hearing was allowed to proceed without immediate payment.” LAFCO SEE A-5 Correction On a page one story In the February 12 issue of Mountain Echo we printed that the employee deductible was changed at the Fall River Community Services District. It had been. It had been increased from a deductible of $750 to one of $1,500. We also printed, in error, that the employee’s premium would also go up. That was an error. In exchange for the higher deductible, the cost of the premium would go down. Mountain Echo apologizes for the error.

That was a major reduction in expenses to the fair, but not the only one, as he explained to the Burney Rotary Club last Thursday. When the state fell on hard times, it stopped giving the fair’s a cut of the pa- FALL RIVER MILLS — The Fall River Valley Community Services District’s financials showed, Wednesday night, that the district currently owes $96,050 not counting the $65,617 owed that will come out of grants and low-interest grant related loans. The billing also reflects service charges and penalties charged by their attorney (Mark Atlas) of $171, Cal Pers for $600 for their past due bills. And a bill from PG&E dating from November. Acting District Treasurer Cecil Ray, pointed out to the board Wednesday that the state Water Board had a bill pending approval for $12,394 that, included the threat of a $1,000 fine a day, if not paid. The district’s board also had $15,807 in current payroll and $1,763 in payroll taxes pending for the current period. As a side note, the board agreed to approve the bill from former Manager John Van den Bergh for his unused vacation time owed. Additionally he had left a letter complementing the staff and recommending that the board give the entire staff a raise in April since they hadn’t had one in two years. The board did state that they were pleased with the staff, but also indicated that they would not be giving FINANCES SEE A-5 ri-mutuel funds and a county department that is expected to pay a share of all county management expenses, but one that is also self sufficient or it doesn’t survive. The result was a major review and overhaul of its operations. They discovered they could do without full time employees, that saved them $150,000 a year, Macfarlane says .

District and local reach agreement By Walt Caldwell Mountain Echo editor BURNEY — Three of the board of Directors present at the Burney Water District’s monthly meeting, President Tim McCammon and directors Roger Borkey and Fred Ryness came out of their closed session last Thursday to ratify and sign the Memorandum of understanding they had reached with the Burney Water District and Burney Classified Association and the BCEA and Laborers Local 185. The document must be signed by the labor side before any details of the memorandum will be made public. Water board directors Valerie Dickinson and Cindy Dodds were absent. Rick Matson and Dan Gibbs, of Sol Haven Development Partners, LLC appeared before the board for the second month. The pair had told the board in January that they would have a solar farm letter of intent to present in February and the letter, from Fenway Energy Group, was in the board packet. However Matson and Gibbs asked that the letter be discarded, that Fenway Group, had changed the game plan, and was not giving the district what Sol Haven had been led to believe. Fenway Group had found another backer which would give the Water District a lot more. After they left the Water District directors indicated they wanted Want a Picture we have? It is easy!

STAFF Publisher: Donna Caldwell Editor: Walt Caldwell Sports Editor: Ron Mosher News: Val Lakey Loretta Russell Advertising: Katie Clift Glenda Jordan Office - Circulation Joy Tjaden Diane Head Founded: October 8, 1977 T he Community Services District had a fairly uneventful meeting last week and the board started to get a handle on several items. There was none of the back biting and theatrics which had plagued the meetings in previous months. Instead they got down to business and stayed focused on businss. They spent a little money they didn’t have to get a financial wizard to tell them where they are financially and how they can get out of the hole they now find themselves in. They are revisiting the sewer rates trying to find out what it will take to break even, before going back to their customers with another increase proposal. They are starting to discuss the grants, which are really necessary and whether they can afford them if it takes borrowing money to get them. They are having a hard time letting go of LAFCO which I suspect will cost them more grief than not in the long run. They haven’t learned that LAFCO has the size, power, and resources and have been reasonably patient. They also fail to realize that the Fall River CSD is a small district which, because of its own greed spent over $40,000 on an attorney who didn’t win the district anything. and $15,000 plus with a consultant who failed to supply LAFCO with the information needed, in the format it needed, to get the job done without using an unusual amount of time to decipher it. Sooner or later the LAFCO board which is made up of professionals and their professional staff will get tired of being lectured by laypeople from Fall River CSD who want to berate LAFCO staff and waste the Commission’s time. On a positive note the board turned down any current consideration of wage increases because they simply didn’t have the money to pay the employees more. It also appears that with Dave Hall donating his time in the management position, that they might be able to make up some of the losses incurred under the previous manager. All in all the board listened patiently to members of the audience as they asked questions and submitted ideas.

McArthur FFA takes 9 plaques and ribbons in Sectional contest By Emily Vigil McArthur FFA On the twentieth of February, the FFA intermountain sectional speaking contest was held in Susanville. It is always an achievement to win a plaque or two at the contests we attend; therefore, it is simply exceptional to win nine plaques as well as ribbons and the sole recognition of hard work paying off. There were a total of six competitions, five individual and one team, five of which the McArthur FFA participated in. The creed competition is the FFA individual CDE for freshmen only. Jace Neugebauer and Wesley Woolery, both freshmen, competed at Susanville in the creed and had a successful day—Jace leaving with a first place plaque. Both Ian JohanGomez and Emily Vigil competed in the prepared speech contest. Ian received first place recognition, and Emily received second. For the impromptu contest, Taylor Corder, Amy Brown, and Lisa Lommen all competed for the McArthur Chapter. McArthur received three of the top four spots with Amy as first, Taylor as second, and Lisa as fourth. The largest contest of the day was the job interview contest with sixteen participants throughout the intermountain section. This contest was no exception to the successful day, as Sheldon Overton received first, Alex Whitney received second, and Colin Vestal received fourth. The sole team competition of parliamentary procedure was the last of the day. Ian Johan-Gomez, Emily Vigil, Sheldon Overton, Kyle Brown, Sarah Estes, and Colin Vestal were all on the team for the day and competed in the advanced contest receiving a first place plaque for their great performance. This competition was surely a representation of the bright season ahead of these individuals. Congratulations for your successes and good luck at regionals!

Mountain Echo LAFCO continued Mickelson’s letter points out that the CSD was provided with a breakdown of costs to the district. She goes on to point out that “Shasta LAFCO’s fee resolution clearly provides that the applicant shall reimburse LAFCO for any and all costs to be documented by LAFCO staff…” and “Regardless of the Commission’s final decision on any proposal, the cost incurred is still due and payable.” The letter goes on to state that the district’s bill for $8,785.55 owed through early November is now 90 days overdue and the amount of the bill invoiced on December 18, 2012,” (which took the total bill to over $12,000 is over 60 days past due. “You indicated in your letter dated February 6, 2012 that you would like additional time to make payment arrangements, but did not specify at time frame.” The letter goes on to ask the district to reply by February 26.” It was indicated by board members during the CSD meeting that the LAFCO board was having a special meeting to discuss the CSD. Mickelson’s letter does not indicate that, stating that the issue of the CSD’s delinquent bill would be on the March 7 agenda, not the purpose of that agenda, Agreement continued would receive a break on their electric bill. District Manager Willie Rodriquez told his board that Daniel Warner of the North Regulatory Unit of the Water Resources Board had visited the district on December 18 and sent a letter out regarding the visit February 5. The sewage treatment plant, as licensed through the Water Resources Board, is permitted based on a large number of factors all of which must be kept current with that board. The plant has been in operation from the early 1950’s. Over the years changes in equipment and layout, input and output have occurred, but apparently Water Resources hadn’t been advised. Warner, Rodriques says, issued the letter which gives the district until March 15 to submit seven work plans or other documentation as required on: • addressing the removal and proper disposal of oil and grease from the headworks • a report for the replacement of the 8-inch pump located in the dry well at the headworks. • justification and documentation that the two floating aerators in the oxidation ditch are Fair continued look at premium events and adjusted the adult portion of events so those still in existence pay their own way, they don’t get premiums. The fair is still giving the kids events premiums. The Fair’s advisory board and Intermountain Heritage Foundation, are negotiating with the county to make the fair independent which will, if it comes to pass, reduce the costs even more. Macfarlane says that this year a number of the organizations such as the garden club whose members put the flower portion of the events on, are taking over the events and staffing them as needed. The fair does raise money from the use of their buildings and RV Park. Linda Carpenter explained that the Heritage Foundation formed to keep the gates of the fairgrounds open. They do a number of projects such as the upcoming Cowgirl Jubilee and annual sponsorships which improve the fairgrounds. Carpenter, also a member of the Fair Advisory Board pointed out that the fair had little choice when they starting charging for the fair at the gate. Without any state funding, they had little choice and a paid gate was one. The Fair Board’s Richard Taylor pointed out that the fair gate is still free on Thursday and Monday of the Fair. supplying the equivalent aeration and treatment as provided by the removed aeration brush. • a plan to remove the build-up of oil and grease within the oxidation ditch. • report that details why the 4-inch magmeter on the effluent line is not in use to record effluent flows and place it back in service. • work plan to remove vegetation from the backs of the evaporation/percolation ponds. • work plan to determine the volume of the faculatative lagoon, the volume of sludge, a time frame for cleaning the sludge lagoon, inspecting the liner and proper disposal of the sludge. Failure to comply with the letter brings with it formal enforcement actions including up to a $5,000 a day fine or $10 for each gallon of water discharged. Rodriquez told his board he would have the report to the Water Quality people in the time frame given him. February 26, 2013 Page A-5 Fall River Valley CSD finances continued out raises this year to the district’s financial situation. Ray strongly suggested that the person they had doing much of the accounting, be given the training she needed to utilize “Sage” one of the accounting tools. He also suggested to the board that they contract with someone well versed and used to finances on a temporary basis to determine exactly where the district was financially and set up a plan for the district to follow to pull themselves out of the hole they were in. Besides payroll and payroll taxes, $10,829 to pay the employees through the end of the month, $600 was due in penalties to Cal Pers and more. He told the board he had a nephew who worked in Sacramento who has a degree in finance and in economics and has been a chief financial officer of a corporation, Brandon Watkins, who would be willing to go over the district’s books and financials and give them a plan and direction of what they should do. Ray said he had talked with Watkins, and they felt he could do what needed to be done for roughly $2,500 and the board approved the relationship. The board approved the $57,049.70 current bills which included a $675 payment to consultant Jan Lopez and payroll and taxes totaling $17,562. Ray suggested that the district talk with the vendors and entities which were seriously past due, let them know that they would be paid and see if they would work with the district. It was decided that temporary district manager Dave Hall and Ray would do the calling. The list of bills to be paid showed the $171 service charge for overdue payment of one of the bills, the accounting and legal classification showed a total of $40,886 paid and an additional $14,863 that had been approved for payment but not yet paid. Additionally there was a bill from consultant Jan Lopez for $675, While no action was taken during the discussion of grant applications, the board as a whole appeared to be concerned about projects that would be partially grant funded, but would need low interest loans to pay the expenses as well. A finance/budget committee was also formed to start the process of reviewing the sewer rates in the district, find out what each sewer hookup customer was paying monthly for that service and what the actual cost was per customer to provide the service before deciding whether or not to go to the expense and time involved in going back through the process to Many More Happy Days Thrift Store Located next to Fall River Arts & Trophies February 25 thru March 2 Open the 1st Saturday of every month Hours: Monday – Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm $5.00 a bag Sale Clothing Only 1st Sat- urday of the Month 10:00 am to 2:00 pm Interested in Volunteering?

With under 6- minutes to play and down by eight, Steve Jones hit a pair of 3’s from the corner, with Colton Ferguson and Michael Gallagher hitting buckets in between to put the Raiders up by two. Big Valley’s Ben Torres answered with a lay-up to knot the game at 52-52 with 1:20 left, and with neither team able to sink a basket the game moved to a fifth period. In the OT period, it was pretty much all Burney, as they outgunned the Cards, 13-3 to pick up the 10-point win and move on to round two. Senior Ferguson led everyone with 29 points while teammate Jones pumped in 17 (nine of those from beyond the arc). Gallagher hit six points, while Caleb Frazier added five, Duane White four and Cal Arseneau two. White led the Raider defense on the boards with 11 rebounds with Gallagher hauling in 10. For Big Valley, Ben Torres topped the squad with 18 points, while Alberto Ortega hit 13. Hunter Hawkins scored nine, while Collin Owens hit eight.

Big Valley 55 Loyalton 45 The Lady Cards opened the NSCIF post season with perhaps the biggest upset in the opening round, a 55-45 victory over Loyalton on the road last Wednesday. “The girls had a great game,” noted coach Norm Stevenson, “and they ran the floor with confidence.” Magen Fairchild and Nika Johnson were both hot from the three-point line, stated the coach, “with Fairchild 4-for-5 and Johnson 2-for-3.” The Helpful Place just got More Helpful Ace Rewards members get Instant Savings right in the store!

Among those putting their wrestling talent on the line was Fall River’s Brennan Gilligan. Gilligan, wrestling at 132 pounds, finished 2-2 for the tournament. The Fall River junior started out with a first round pin over U-Preps Gus VanKirk in a short 59 seconds. He then faced Michael Lee of Enterprise and lost in overtime, 6-7. Gilligan led with just seconds to go in regulation, when Lee scored a two-point take-down to send it into an extra round. Moving to the loser’s bracket, Gilligan then won his next match, a fall at the 4:21 mark over Dakota Jones of Central Valley, but then lost to David Leyva of Chico by a fall at the 1:16 mark in the opening round. The two Gilligan lost to both went on to place. Leyva finished fifth and Lee sixth. In team results, Chico took first, Sutter second and Orland third in the 2-day event. Sterling runner-up in HS rodeo RED BLUFF - Fall River senior Sterling Humphry took the reserve all-around honors at the Inter-District high school rodeo here February 15-16. The event featured athletes from districts one, two and three. Humphry finished first in tie down roping and second in steer wrestling. He teamed up with Colton Campbell of Klamath Falls for fourth in the team roping competi- tion. Steel Humphry was third in team roping with partner Chase Alvarez of Williams and ninth in tie down roping. Kyle Brown took seventh in steer wrestling. Amy Brown, a sophomore at Fall River, was third in barrel racing out of 112 entries. The next rodeo - a district one affair - will be held in Cottonwood this coming Saturday and Sunday. BHS: BURNEY DOWNS BIG VALLEY IN OPENER_____________ Continued from B-1 Michael Bertelsen added five while Justin Davis rounded out the Cardinal scoring with two. Big Valley was up by one after the first period, 13-12, and still up by one at halftime (30-29). They upped their lead to five heading into the final period at 44-39 when the Raiders mounted their comeback to send the game into OT. Big Valley has only one senior on this years squad - Justin Davis. “We went to a 2-2-1 trap to finally create some turnovers and get some lay-ups,” noted Burney coach Kevin Bower, “The 3-guard front of Colton Ferguson, Steve Jones and Caleb Frazier did an excellent job trapping, as well as Michael Gallagher on the other wing.” The coach continued, “I am so proud of the Raiders, they showed that they will not give up no matter what the deficit is. They play with heart and intensity to keep them in ball games. Jamboree, Fall River at home in league with that comeback, and then the playoff game against Big Valley in OT was awesome to be a part of.” Seniors ending their high school career at Burney were Luke Urlie, Duane White, Cal Arseneau, Barry Wyrick, Steve Jones, Colton Ferguson and T.J. Arendt. Photo by Ron Mosher The long arm of Burney’s Steve Jones tries to dislodge rebound from BV’s Hunter Hawkins in thrilling OT game won by Burney. Burney 51 Chester 74 The Raiders in moving to the quarter finals, lost to host Chester here Thursday night, 51-74. The Vols made a couple of big scoring runs in the first half in building up a 39-18 lead at intermission. An 11-0 run at the end of the first period, and another 10-zip period in the second quarter. Ferguson again topped the Raiders, this time with 18 points. Jones and Gallagher also hit double digits with 10 each. Wyatt Stier scored six, while White had four and Luke Urlie two. “We went with our seniors the final four minutes of the game,” summed up coach Bower, “and they were able to close out their careers on a strong note. They out scored Chester during that time with hustle, heart and desire.” Coach Bower summed up the highlights of the season, including, “out win over Waterford during got sports? Tell us about it.

When looking at the snow covering the ground around here, it’s hard to believe that spring sports are set to begin this week. So here’s the scenario for local baseball and softball teams. Practice as follows... hit the ball, pick up the snow shovel and work your way to first. If you get to the base before the fielder finds the ball in the snow, you’re safe. If they never find the ball buried in the white stuff, and you can shovel like crazy, you should make it to home plate - if you can find it and your arms don’t wear out from shoveling. Kids in the Intermountain Area should have an advantage over flatlander’s as they’ve been shoveling the white stuff for quite some time. Another idea is both teams wear snow shoes... spikes being optional. Most local teams will be at a slight disadvantage when things begin this week, as practicing in the gym is not the same as running around the diamond. Also, many local squads have been limited in practicing due to basketball overlapping - a happy overlap, however. SOME ODD’S ‘n ENDS... • Burney baseball is going to have the longest road trip of any local team - travelling to the land of Disneyland in Anaheim for the Anaheim Lions Tournament March 30 through April 3. Now that’s a road trip I wouldn’t mind taking since I’m a giant fan of Space Mountain (or any roller coaster, for that matter).... hint, hint, hint. Ironically, Burney’s first opponent in the Land of Mickey will be Enterprise... yep, that Enterprise located in Redding. Perhaps the two schools could share transportation?!?!?!? For new Burney Raider coach Dustin Fortenberry, it’s going to be even more fun, as he’s a graduate of Enterprise. • We have plenty of new spring sports coaches that will be delivering signs from the third base box this spring. Dustin Fortenberry, Burney baseball, Marc Muller, Big Valley baseball, Cheryl Bruce, Big Valley softball and the return of veteran coach Bill Clark to head up the Burney softball program. Welcome aboard coaches - here’s hoping you all have great seasons (and fun to boot). • Basketball is still going in the area, with the Lady Bulldogs of Fall River heading to Durham for the semi-finals Tuesday (today). Durham is ranked atop the division V leaderboard, but that just means it will be lot more fun when Fall River wins - hint, hint, hint. • Most experts agreed that the ShastaCascade League was a tough conference when it came to hoops this year... apparently they were correct. In both boys and girls D-5 bracket, three of the four semi-final teams are from the SCL. In girls competition, Fall River. Weed and Mt. Shasta of the SCL join Durham. In boys competition, Modoc, Mt. Shasta and Weed are joined by Numero Uno Liberty Christian in the battle for the top slot. Here’s to an all-SCL final championship game in both. • A couple of benefit dinners to help finance youth sports in the Burney area are on tap... The Burney Basin Little League BBQ Ribs dinner is set for this Saturday at the VFW hall. Tickets are available at US Bank and Tri-Counties Bank or by calling (530) 604-2594. The Burney Booster’s Crab and Tri-Tip dinner is set for the following Saturday (March 9) also at the Vet’s hall. Tickets for this event are on a presale basis only at US Bank, the Rex Club and Alpine Drive Inn. Two great causes. Two great dinners. Two nights of great fun. • Opening games in baseball are set as follows: Burney: February 27 at Enterprise. Fall River: March 1 at American Christian Big Valley: March 8 hosting Weed. Opening games in softball are: Burney: March 5 at Redding Christian Fall River: March 8-9 at Anderson Tourney Big Valley: March 12 at Burney.

FR: LADY BULLDOGS STILL IN HUNT________ Continued from B-1 Fall River’s offense really came alive in the third quarter, as they racked up a 22-7 score. Maryann Parker led Fall River with 14 points, while Braden chipped in a dozen. Whitney and Megan Gallion had six each, while Westlund added five, Brown and Thompson four each, Kacey Putnam three, Napua Gonzales-Merck and Vigil two each. The twin wins moved Fall River (#4) into the semi-finals against Durham (#1) Tuesday (tonight) at Durham starting at 6pm. “I think we match up pretty well with them,” stated FR coach Kathy Jones, “I think if we play well we can beat them.” The two teams on paper match up well. Durham (21-6) is averaging 56 points per game, while Fall River (16-9) is scoring at a 49 point clip, but averaging much better in the rebound department. Against common opponents, the two teams have come up with about the same win-loss mark. “We have to set the tone early once again,” summed up coach Jones, “but the girls are working hard and playing hard. Anything can happen.” FALL RIVER This Week Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Durham, 6pm Saturday, Mar. 2 Championship game CSU Chico, 2:30pm Photo by Ron Mosher Redding Christian players gets up close with Big Valley’s Megan Bertelsen in last week’s quarter final game in Palo Cedro won by Redding Christian.

Small lost his first match, but won his next five bouts by Pin, before losing in the 3rd place final. Small will be at the Tournament of Champions in Loomis this weekend, after practicing with Fall River coach Dale Kroschel and the West Valley Club at Foothill high school this week. Also participating will be five other wrestler's from Victory Wrestling Club. Northern Section C.I.F. Playoff Brackets 2013 GIRLS - Division V GIRLS - Division VI The Cards played the Redding Christian Lady Lions tough for three full quarters, but just couldn’t contain the Lions in the final period. The two teams traded leads furiously in the first three quarters, with neither team mustering more than a 4point bulge. With Big Valley leading after three, 44-43, the roof collapsed in their dream of continuing in the post-season tournament. The Lady Lions kept Big Valley scoreless for the first six minutes of that fourth period on their way to the 60-50 victory. “We knew going into the game that our girls could compete,” stated coach Stevenson, “we had watched some film on them and knew what we had to do. The girls went into this game fully prepared to battle.” And battle they did, as Redding Christian looked confused in handling the Cards fast break early in the game. Fairchild chipped in 17 points, while Stevenson added 15 with 10 rebounds and four blocks. Johnson contributed 10 points, Amanda Bricker four, and Bertelsen and Kayla McCrary two each. Seniors playing their final high school game included Megan Bertelsen, Courtney James, Rebecca Barnett and Magen Fairchild. “We’re already looking forward to next season,” stated coach Stevenson. Photo by Ron Mosher Big Valley coach Norm Stevenson quench’s his thirst and watches game with part of his team. Quartet of new coaches for area softball and baseball squads in ‘13 Both Burney and Big Valley will feature new coaches for softball and baseball when the season’s debut this week. Burney will see Dustin Fortenberry take over the reins of baseball, while veteran coach Bill Clark will return to the Raiders softball program after a decade. Big Valley baseball will be headed up by Modoc county deputy sheriff Marc Muller, while long time assistant softball coach Cheryl Bruce moves into the head coaching slot for the Lady Cards. Fall River baseball coach Leo Estes and softball coach Judy Parker are returning for another year for the Bulldogs. This week’s schedule features Burney and Fall River baseball action only. The Burney Raiders are at Enterprise Wednesday, then enter the Anderson Tournament at Big League Dreams set for Friday and Saturday. Fall RIver baseball opens the 2013 campaign on the road in Anderson Friday, when they take on American Christian starting at 2 o’clock. 2013 Baseball/Softball SCHEDULES BURNEY RAIDERS FALL RIVER BULLDOGS Prep CALENDAR For the Week High School BASEBALL BOYS - Division VI Wednesday, Feb. 27 Burney at Enterprise 3:00pm Friday, March 1 Fall River at American Christian Anderson, 2pm Burney at Anderson Tourney Big League Dreams Saturday, March 2 Burney at Anderson Tourney Big League Dreams BIG VALLEY CARDINALS Page B4 February 26, 2013 Mountain Echo CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED ANNOUNCEMENTS DID YOU KNOW that Ten Million adults tweeted in the past month, while 164 million read a newspaper in print or online in the past week?
