With the memorial for
fallen Susanville Police
Officer Robert McElrath
completed, community
members, elected officials,
family members and
emergency personnel paid
tribute to his service and life.
On Friday, May 6,
Susanville administrators
held a ceremony on Rob’s
Way to unveil the finished
memorial for McElrath, who
was killed in an act of
domestic violence while offduty in January 2011.
“This community
continues to mourn his
death,” said Susanville
Police Department
Lieutenant Matt Wood,
adding McElrath would not
want people to grieve for him
too much.
“Rob was loved by many,
because he showed great love
and compassion toward
others,” said Wood.

Gates Foundation
Millennium Scholarship
winners for Lassen High
School — an incredible
achievement for the
individual scholarship
winners and the local high
school.
Hammon said she’s excited
to win the scholarship and
it’s important for people to
know just how cool Lassen
High School is these days.
“We’re a small community,
To subscribe to the Times,

and we have people who just
come together, we’re
definitely up there in the
ranks,” Hammon said.
Hammon plans to earn a
double major at Oregon State
University in agricultural
sciences and sustainability
and a minor in education,
she said, “so I can go and do
research on behalf of
agriculture, and if I don’t
further my education in that,
then I can be a school
teacher.”
According to her
acceptance letter, Hammon is
one of 1,000 scholarship
winners for 2016 — selected
from more than 53,000
applicants.
The program — funded by
a grant from the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation in
1999 — offers full-ride
scholarships to outstanding
African American, American
Indian/Alaska Native, Asian
Pacific Islander American
and Hispanic American
students. After earning a
bachelor’s degree, continuing
Gates Millennium Scholars
may request funding for a
graduate degree program in
computer science education,
engineering, library science,
mathematics, public health
or science.
The program has awarded
more than $934 million in
scholarships since 2000.
Other partners include the
United Negro College Fund,
the American Indian
Graduate Center Scholars,
Asian and Pacific Islander
American Scholarship Fund
and the Hispanic Scholarship
Fund.
Many locals may recognize
Hammon from her
participation with JandJ
Performing Arts and the
Susanville Kickettes for
nearly a decade. Hammon
said she will soon assume
responsibilities as a teacher
for the local dance studio.
While Hammon said she’s
excited to go somewhere new
to continue her education,
she said she loves Susanville.
“I’m not one of those
people who says, ‘Ah,
Susanville, there’s nothing to
do.’ I like the people here and
I like the things you can do,
like go hiking in the
mountains, but I am excited
to go somewhere new,
somewhere bigger than
Susanville.”
“Our first Gates Scholar
was Samuel Joseph, class of
2014,” said Micah Freeman, a
guidance counselor at LHS.
“Sam was accepted to several
universities out of high
school but chose to stay at
Lassen Community College.
He just finished his
associates of arts degree in

Plumas Bancorp, the parent
company of locally owned
Plumas Bank, repurchased a
portion of a warrant
representing the right to
purchase 150,000 shares of
the bank’s common stock for
an aggregate repurchase
price of $862,500 from
Community BanCapital, L.P.
The original warrant was
issued on April 15, 2013, in
connection with the bank’s
sale of a $7,500,000
subordinated debenture.
As originally issued, the
warrant represented the right
to purchase 300,000 shares of
common stock for $5.25 per
share, subject to adjustment
on or before April 15, 2021.
As a result of this
repurchase, the warrant now
represents the right for
BanCapital to purchase
150,000 shares of the bank’s
common stock. The exercise
price, expiration date and
other terms of the warrant
remain unchanged.
Andrew J. Ryback,
president and chief executive
officer of Plumas Bancorp,
said, “We are pleased to be
able to repurchase half of
our outstanding warrant at
this time. This protects our
shareholders against further
dilution and demonstrates the
confidence we have in the
future of our company.”

Governor issues order to continue
water savings as drought persists
Moving to bolster
California’s climate and
drought resilience, Governor
Edmund G. Brown Jr.,
recently issued an executive
order that builds on
temporary statewide
emergency water restrictions
to establish longer-term
water conservation
measures, including
permanent monthly water
use reporting, new
permanent water use
standards in California
communities and bans on
clearly wasteful practices,
such as hosing off sidewalks,
driveways and other
hardscapes.
“Californians stepped up
during this drought and
saved more water than ever
before,” said Governor
Brown. “But now we know
that drought is becoming a
regular occurrence and water
conservation must be a part
of our everyday life.”
Californians have
responded to the call to
conserve water during the
drought by dialing back
sprinklers, replacing lawns,
fixing leaky faucets and
installing more efficient
toilets and washing
machines. Between June 2015
and March 2016, Californians
reduced water use by 23.9
percent compared with the
same months in 2013 – saving
enough water to provide 6.5
million Californians with
water for one year.
While the severity of the
drought has lessened in some
parts of California after
winter rains and snow, the
current drought is not over.
For the fifth consecutive year,
dry conditions persist in
many areas of the state, with
limited drinking water
supplies in some
communities, diminished
water for agricultural
production and
environmental habitat and
severely depleted
groundwater basins. The
executive order calls for longterm improvements to local
drought preparation across
the state, and directs the
State Water Resources
Control Board to develop
proposed emergency water
restrictions for 2017 if the
drought persists.
California droughts are
expected to be more frequent
and persistent, as warmer
winter temperatures driven
by climate change reduce
water held in the Sierra
Nevada snow pack and result
in drier soil conditions.
Recognizing these new
conditions, the executive
order directs permanent
changes to use water more
wisely and efficiently, and
prepare for more frequent,
persistent periods of limited
supply.
These new actions will
help achieve a top priority in
the Governor’s Water Action
Plan – to “Make
Conservation a California
Way of Life.” The
administration will seek
public input in the coming
months on new water
conservation and efficiency
standards called for in this
executive order.
The following is a
summary of the executive
order issued by the Governor.
Use water more wisely
The Department of Water
Resources (DWR) and the
State Water Board will
require monthly reporting by
urban water suppliers on a
permanent basis. This
includes information
regarding water use,
conservation and
enforcement. Through a
public process and working
with partners such as urban
water suppliers, local
governments and
environmental groups, DWR
and the State Water Board
will develop new water use
efficiency targets as part of a
long-term conservation
framework for urban water
agencies. These targets go
beyond the 20 percent
reduction in per capita urban
water use by 2020 that was
embodied in SB X7-7 of 2009,
and will be customized to fit
the unique conditions of
each water supplier.
The State Water Board will
adjust emergency water
conservation regulations
through the end of January
2017, in recognition of the
differing water supply
conditions across the state,

Eliminate water waste
The State Water Board will
permanently prohibit
wasteful practices, such as
hosing off sidewalks,
driveways and other
hardscapes, washing
automobiles with hoses not
equipped with a shut-off
nozzle and watering lawns in
a manner that causes runoff.
These temporary
prohibitions have been in
place since emergency water
conservation efforts began in
July 2014.
The State Water Board and
DWR will take actions to
minimize water system leaks
across the state that continue
to waste large amounts of
water. DWR estimates that
leaks in water district
distribution systems siphon
away more than 700,000 acrefeet of water a year in
California – enough to supply
1.4 million homes for a year.
Audits of water utilities have
found an average loss
through leaks of 10 percent
of their total supply.
Strengthen local drought
resilience
In consultation with urban
water suppliers, local
governments, environmental
groups and other partners,
DWR will strengthen
standards for local water
shortage contingency plans,
which are part of the Urban
Water Management Plans,
that water districts must
submit every five years.
Under new strengthened
standards, districts must
plan for droughts lasting at
least five years, as well as
more frequent and severe
periods of drought. These
plans must be actionable, so
that districts can turn to
them to guide their drought
response.
For areas not covered by
the water shortage
contingency plan, DWR will
work with counties to
improve drought planning
for small water suppliers and
rural communities.
Improve agricultural
water use efficiency and
drought planning
DWR will update existing
requirements for
agricultural water
management plans so that
irrigation districts quantify
their customers’ water use
efficiency and plan for water
supply shortages.
Current law requires
agricultural water districts
serving 25,000 acres or more
to file such plans. The
executive order increases the
number of irrigation
districts who must file water
management plans by
lowering the threshold to
irrigation district serving
10,000 acres or more. DWR
will check the plans to
ensure they quantify
conservation efforts and
adequately plan for water
shortages.
DWR will work with the
California Department of
Food and Agriculture in
seeking public input on the
updated standards, with a
public draft made available
by the end of this year.
To ensure compliance with
these new targets and water
management plan
requirements, DWR, the State
Water Board and the
California Public Utilities
Commission will work
together to develop methods,
which could include
technical and financial
assistance, regulatory
oversight and enforcement
mechanisms.

Trail volunteers complete
crosscut saw training
Volunteers from Back Country Horsemen, of California,
Almanor Recreation and Parks District, and Chico Velo
Trailworks, recently completed a two-day crosscut saw
certification course organized by Lassen National Forest.
Hosted at the Almanor’s Forest Ranger District, the two-day
crosscut program taught volunteers some of the complex
skills needed to maintain trails.
The first training day was classroom based, while the
second day took volunteers out into the field. Using crosscut
saws with oversight from course instructors, the volunteers
successfully logged out the Deer Creek trail from the red
bridge on Highway 32 down to the fish ladder.
“Volunteers are essential to the success of the Almanor
ranger district’s trails program,” said Megan Mullowney,
recreation and lands staff officer at the Almanor Ranger
District. “We really appreciate the time, dedication, and
energy that our volunteers devote to helping manage our trail
system.”

Margarita Fest offers
many, many choices
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
What better way is there to
support local awards and
scholarships than by simply
trying a multitude of
margaritas?
The Fifth Annual
Soroptimist Margarita
Festival will delight attendees
with a wide array of alcoholic
concoctions from 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. Friday, May 20 at Jensen
Hall at the Lassen County
Fairgrounds.
According to Kerri Cobb,
event coordinator, Margarita
Fest will have 10 different
flavors to try, live music by
local band Timeless, a photo
booth, nacho bar and a salsa
contest.
“You can’t go wrong with 10
flavors of margaritas,” said
Cobb.
Annually, the event bring in
around $6,500 to $7,800, Cobb
said, but she hopes to make
this event earn up to $10,000 –
enough to cover the
Soroptimist Club’s costs.
She added this year alone,
the group gave out $6,000 in
just scholarships and awards
to local students. The group
initially made the Margarita
Fest it’s main fundraiser in
order to put more of their
time toward service projects,
according to Cobb.
The Salsa Contest, hosted
by US Bank, offers local a
chance to win $100.
Judging of the salsas will
take place at 7 p.m. Thursday,
May 19 at Jensen Hall and
interested salsa aficionados
should contact Cobb for more
information at 251-4940.
US Bank employees will be
judging the salsa.
Moreover, the event will
host a silent auction and a
raffle. The raffle is selling
tickets for a two-seat redwood
glider from Martin’s Nursery,
which is valued at $600.
Tickets for the event can be
purchased ahead of time at
Margie’s Book Nook or US
Bank, or at the door. However,
Cobb suggested attendees buy
tickets ahead of time.
She also said there will be
no taxis provided, and
designated drivers from the
event should be arranged by
the attendee. She added there
would be free non-alcoholic
drinks for designated drivers.

Take care of trees and shrubs
Most homeowners with
yards enjoy the thought of
an inviting landscape they
can show off and enjoy. But
creating a beautiful outdoor
living space takes effort and
patience.
“Attempting to force
beauty onto trees and shrubs
with bad pruning methods
and over-zealous spraying for
pests is a haphazard
approach that wastes time
and money, with only sickly
plants to show for it,” says
Tchukki Andersen, Certified
Treecare Safety Professional
Board Certified Master
Arborist and Staff Arborist
for the Tree Care Industry
Association.
“A plant health care
program can take the effort
out of your landscape work
and give you back the time
you envisioned having to
enjoy it,” she says.
What is plant health care?
Plants, and trees especially,
are valuable assets for your
landscape. As such, they
require long-term, quality
care in order to provide
return on your investment. A
PHC program accomplishes
this by using specialized
monitoring and problemsolving methods designed to
prevent high-cost plant/tree
replacement in the long run.
How does this work? The
goal of PHC is to maintain
tree and plant health in your
yard by providing proper
growing conditions for the
plants. Most health problems
associated with trees can be
linked to past environmental
stress or declining growing
conditions. Healthy trees
have natural defenses, but
when a tree is stressed, it is
more vulnerable to harmful
insects and diseases.
“PHC technicians work
closely with homeowners to
reduce those tree stressors
and manage pest problems
before they become
harmful,” says Andersen.
“Managing plant pests and
problems rather than
eliminating them offers a
proactive and holistic
approach to maintaining tree
and shrub health.”
There are actually people
who do this? An arborist
qualified to provide plant
health care will make
proactive visits to your
property to inspect for signs
of any plant health
problems. Considering your
landscape goals, the PHC
technician will help guide
your plant health regime.
Your expectations and
concerns about your trees
are vital to the success of the
PHC program.
What are the treatments?
Managed landscape plants
require specialized
“treatments,” as many living
things often do. In the past,
landscape pest control
treatments were primarily
pesticide or fertilizer
applications made regularly,
whether the plant needed it
or not. PHC spray treatments
are not necessarily obsolete
or “bad” for the
environment, if performed
by a qualified technician for
a specific pest. In fact, some
spray treatments may be the
best option for clients who
have overriding concerns
about program cost or are
only concerned about one
specific pest problem.
Nowadays though, good plant
health care provides specific
treatments at specific times,
which better targets pests
and reduces waste.
But the best treatment
methods are those that work
in combination with natural
processes or are the least
environmentally intrusive. A
PHC technician may
recommend any one or a
combination of the following
treatments:
• Maintenance or
restoration pruning
• An integrated pest
management (IPM) program
to deal with any insect and
disease issues
• Mulching bare soil
beneath tree canopies
• Testing to determine any
nutrient deficiencies and a
program to address them.
• Evaluation of current
irrigation practices and a
suggested program for
correct irrigation cycles.
• Planting pest-resistant
varieties of trees and shrubs
suited to your specific site
But can it help my trees?
Most people want to know
what the pest problems or
the overall problems are in
their landscape. Your PHC
provider observes your trees
and shrubs for changes in
their health, and will work
closely with you to devise
solutions as needed. A
custom-designed PHC
program for your trees and
shrubs will, over time,
provide a beautiful and
healthy landscape that the
entire neighborhood can
enjoy, and that will add value
to your home.

Simulator helps students learn
about drunk driving dangers
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
aarey@lassennews.com
On Tuesday, May 10, Lassen
High School freshmen
learned about the dangers of
driving under the influence
using an electric vehicle
known as SIDNE.
SIDNE stands for
Simulated Impaired Driving
Experience.
Students were paired up
and each given a chance to
drive and be a passenger in
SIDNE. They would drive
down a short course, marked
by cones. The students were
told to pretend the cones
were pedestrians.
California Highway Patrol
Officer Vince Roeber, walked
along behind the students
with a remote control. Many
of the students thought that
Roeber was able to control
the small vehicle with the
remote, because towards the
end of the course the
students would start to
swerve.
One student, Coral League
said, “I tried to remember
there was a brake, but when I
pressed the brake it wasn’t
working.”
But Roeber wasn’t
controlling the vehicle. The
remote connected to a
computer system within
SIDNE, which allowed the
vehicle to be switched from
normal driving to impaired
driving.
“All I did was allow SIDNE
to simulate what it would be
like if you were impaired,”
said Roeber.
After the students finished
the course, Roeber would pull
them off to the side and ask
them about their experience
and if they felt they would
get pulled over for driving
like that.
“It’s a very cool and
interesting experience,” said
CHP Officer Kristen Wilburn,
“it allows students to see the
dangers of driving while
impaired.”
Roeber and Wilburn
explained to the students that
driving too slow, braking
often and swerving are
common signs of driving
under the influence, many of
which students did during
this simulation.
“When someone like you
drives like that, we’re the
ones that have to respond and
notify your family that you
didn’t make it,” said Roeber.
Roeber emphasized to
students to not get into a
vehicle with somebody who
has been drinking and to try
and discourage those
adamant to drive from
doing so.
A letter of apology:
Hello, my name is Justin. I’m the former owner of Embers Fireplaces and Stoves. I’m writing
this letter to apologize to everyone that I mislead and/or wronged while I had my business. I
have spent many hours thinking about how I could have and should have done things
differently. I started my business in 2009. I opened it with the intention of selling and
installing fireplaces and stoves at fair market value and affordable installation costs. I
misled many people into believing a contractor’s license wasn’t needed to do the
installation. At first, I believed it myself. It was a gray area in a not-so-common line of work.
Once I learned that I needed to have a contractor’s license, I didn’t do the responsible thing
and get my license. I just continued business as usual for some time.
It wasn’t until we had a new inspector move to town that I began to catch any flack for not
having a license. Did I do my due diligence at that point and finally get my license to install
fireplaces and stoves? No. I kept pushing on, only thinking of myself and my business. It
wasn’t until the new inspector wouldn’t sign off on my installations anymore that I hired a
general contractor to do the installations for my company. By then, it was too late.
The fire happened at night. The couple were winding down for the evening and the children
were fast asleep. The wife was the first to smell something burning. By then, the whole
downstairs had been filled with smoke. The couple hurried out of their bedroom and rushed
to get the kids, thankfully, making it safely outside. By the time the fire department had put
out the flames, 20 percent of their home had been burned, and much more ruined from
smoke and water. Not to mention the emotional scars I caused them.
(530) 257-5321 • 100 Grand Avenue, Susanville, CA 96130
www.lassennews.com
That’s right. One of the installations done by my company had resulted in a fire. I can’t
imagine what that family went through. I can’t bear to think, “What if that had happened to
my family?” The heart-wrenching feeling I get just trying to picture what it would be like
pales in comparison to what that family went through.
It has been some time since my business has been around. I closed it over 4 years ago. Not a
day has gone by that I haven’t regretted not taking the time to do the responsible thing and
just get my contractor’s license. With me allowing myself to go on and not taking action
when I needed to, I caused a lot of pain, fear, anger and mistrust with many of my
customers. In turn, it caused a lot of embarrassment for my family. To all of you,
I give my most sincere apology. To those that are treating their customers
with the same disregard that I treated mine, just try to put
yourselves in the shoes of the family I mentioned. Don’t let the
same thing happen to another family.

Brussatoi and Jackson win Empathy in Education awards
If every school employee
were like the winner of this
year’s Empathy in Education
award, school would be a
place of refuge for abused
and neglected students.
With a smile that warms
everyone’s hearts and a
bright attitude that lights up
the day, Lassen High School’s
Head Custodian, Danny
Brussatoi is the 2016 winner.
Retired teacher Lynda
Jackson also received special
recognition this year as part
of the annual honor Lassen
Family Services, established
in 2009 to recognize anyone
who works at school and is
kind, caring, compassionate
and looks out for the needs of
students.
On their nomination
forms, students at Lassen
High School wrote
Brussatoi’s “smile warms
everyone’s heart. He is
always kind. He really
deserves recognition for
being someone so nice and
trustworthy.”
Such care is important for
students who suffer abuse,
because symptoms of
trauma make it difficult to
pay attention, control angry
outbursts or control
behavior when something
triggers a memory of the
abuse. Trauma makes the
brain very sensitive to any
real or imagined danger or
threat.
Brussatoi helps create the
calm environment necessary
for healing. Students looking
out everywhere for possible
dangers are calmed when
school staff members are
kind, caring, compassionate,
sensitive and look out for
their needs.
“He is a wonderful
person,” students who
nominated him wrote. “He
always has a smile on his
face. He always says hi and
asks how your day was.
“If someone asks for his
help he drops what he’s
doing and helps you with a
smile.
“Even though the students
are very messy, he never
complains about his job.
“He’s always very nice to
Danny Brussatoi, winner of the 2016 Empathy in Education
Award, accepts a hug from Lassen Family Services Child Abuse

everyone 24/7. He truly
improves the environment of
our campus. His bright
attitude lights up my day.”
One student summed up
the Empathy in Education
Award concept, “His role on
the campus is often
underappreciated. His
compassion and care goes
above and beyond his job
description and I believe he
deserves recognition for it.”
The 1966 graduate of
Lassen High School, when he
is not helping students,
spends time working on and
showing the classic pick-up
truck he restored. He has
worked at the high school for
26 years and he has been the
head custodian for 20 of
those years and a supervisor
since 2009.
Brussatoi received a
lantern crafted by CHAT
Program Coordinator Tori
French. A brass plate
inscribed with his name
states he won the 2016 award.
The doorplate reads, “A
caring person is like a
candle, it consumes itself to
light the way for others.”
“That’s what it is all
about,” Brussatoi said.
In addition, this year
Lassen Family Services gave
special recognition to a
teacher who retired last year
after 40 years in education.
Born and raised in
Manchester, England, she
taught six years of primary
school in England. From 1981
to 2015, she taught in
California, according to May
9, 2006, edition of the Lassen

Lynda Jackson, winner of 2016 Empathy in Education Award
special recognition, accepts her award from Lassen Family
Services Child Abuse Treatment Therapist Shayla Ashmore.
Jackson holds a copy of the nomination letter affixed to canvas
by CHAT Progarm Coordinator Tori French.
Thompson Peak Writer’s
Group, and the author of the
unpublished Daisy Chain
children’s novels including,
“What On Earth Are You
Doing Daisy Ramshead?”
and “Whatever Happened to
Great-Great Uncle Albert?”
she retired as a 5th grade
teacher at Meadow View
school in 2015.
The staff at Lassen Family
Services was touched by a
nomination from a former
student whose challenges
included poverty, relatives in
jail, foster care and a brain
tumor. He wrote about how
Lynda Jackson taught him to
strive to do his very best.
“Ms. Jackson always
encouraged me to try my
hardest so that I can (sic) do
better,” he wrote. “She
always told me I can (sic) be
a lawyer if I wanted to, that
if I worked hard enough I
could. That’s why I got good
grades and when I was
diagnosed with a brain
tumor she checked in on me
with my sisters and always
tried to help me.” Because
her care and concerns for
this student embodies the
spirit of the Empathy in
Education Award, Lassen
Family Services Child Abuse
Treatment program awarded
the special recognition,
including a copy of the
student’s letter affixed to a
canvas. Jackson said she
remembered the student who
nominated her and he is
currently doing very well in
high school.

received prizes donated by

awards during opening
ceremonies at the third

that attracted close to 400
participants on Saturday,

Community Center on
Weatherlow Street. Neither
winner was present, but
Susanville School District
Board Member James Hall
on behalf of Brussatoi and
Jackson’s former student
Coral League accepted the
awards.
The walk to recognize
National Crime Victims’
Rights Week was conceived
to increase general public
awareness of the wide range
of rights and services
available to people who have
been victimized by crime,
including the crime of child
abuse.
The community project
helps generate widespread
public awareness of crime
victims’ rights and needs,
and the importance of
engaging all people in

efforts.

Lassen College Foundation members pose during the Donor Recognition event held Monday, May 9. The foundation was able to
offer 28 scholarships to students for the coming year.
College Foundation awards scholarships
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
The conclusion of the
current school year, and with
the beginning of next on the
horizon, the Lassen College
Foundation has approved
awarding scholarships to
high school seniors.
According to foundation,
Board of Director’s President
Mike O’Kelly, 28 scholarships
for $1,400 each were awarded
to seniors in Lassen and
Modoc counties.
Due to lack of funds this
year, O’Kelley added during
the Monday, May 9
foundation meeting, the
group had to add a grade
point average to the
scholarship application. Out
of the 42 applications, more
than half were awarded. The
scholarships total about
$39,000 for the upcoming year.
During the meeting, board
members discussed the
success of some students,
noting how many were
transferring to four-year
schools to continue their
education.
“What’s going on here is
working,” said director Todd
Eid.
After the meeting, the
foundation hosted a 2016
Donor Recognition event
with beverages and
appetizers donated by
Susanville Supermarket IGA.

Lassen County Times
Fair announces
headliner
Sam Williams
Managing Editor
The Lassen County Fair
has a country music
superstar for the Friday, July
22 grandstand show.
The fair announced Craig
Campbell, an up and coming
star with two albums and six
hit singles will take the stage
for the country music show at
the fair.
Campbell’s two albums —
2011’s “Craig Campbell” and
2013’s “Never Regret” were
both released on the Bigger
Picture Music label, but
Campbell now records for Red
Bow Records. “Craig
Campbell” reached No. 14 on
the U.S. country chart and
“Never Regret” made it to No.
27.
Campbell’s singles include
“Family Man” (No. 14, 2010),
“Fish” (No. 23, 2011), “When I
Get It” (No. 38, 2011), “Outta
My Head” (No. 25, 2012),
“Keep Them Kisses Comin’”
(No. 15, 2013), “Tomorrow
Tonight (2015) and “Outskirts
of Heaven” (2016).
He is currently working on
his third album — the first for
Red Bow.
“There are a lot of sides to
me that people haven’t yet
seen,” Campbell said on his
website. “You can expect
some great music with a little
more energy, and a lot more
fire.”
Campbell began writing
songs due to encouragement
from fellow musician Luke
Bryan. He also played in
Tracy’s Byrd’s road band.
Growing up in a strong
Southern Baptist home,
Campbell fell in love early
with the sounds of country
radio, and built a foundation
not just as a singer and
performer, but also as a
songwriter. It was a
conversation with Luke
Bryan, for whom he once
played keyboard, that really
helped him set his priorities
clear.
“He said, ‘man you need to

Campbell will the headliner

show at the Lassen County
Fair. Photo submitted
be writing songs, and you
need to be writing with
different people, twice a day,’”
recalls Campbell. “That’s
where you can define yourself
as an artist, with people
writing songs that tell your
story. And nobody is going to
sing them better than you.’”
That dedication to the craft
made him not only
understand the importance of
crafting songs like the fanfavorite “Tomorrow Tonight”
with trusted collaborators,
but also to keep writing,
constantly. It’s an ethos that
recently led to Garth Brooks
himself cutting his track “All
American Kid” for Man
Against the Machine.
“That was such a huge,
huge honor,” said Campbell.
“I didn’t believe it was
happening, even when he was
recording it.”
And now, the release of
“Outskirts of Heaven,” serves
as the blueprint for his road
ahead, full of songs that tug
at heartstrings, push
boundaries and seep in with
infectious melodies. “All the
songs we are writing are all
very committed and current,”
he says. “But it’s still me,
singing. That’s the main thing
I want people to say, at the
end of the day: that I’m a
great singer, who truly loves
country music.”

People of all ages gather in Sacramento to raise awareness about the need for increased funding for after school education and
safety programs. Photo submitted
Supporters gather for after school programs
After school and summer
learning providers, youth
ambassadors, their families
and supporters gathered in
Sacramento this week
during the 12th Annual
California After School and
Summer Challenge to raise
awareness about the need for
increased funding for After
School Education and Safety
programs.
Through legislative visits
with key Sacramento
officials and a rally on the
Capitol’s north steps,
advocates hope to bring
attention to the importance
of expanded learning
programs for California’s atrisk low-income youth and
the impending financial
crisis facing them.
ASES programs have
operated within fixed
funding levels for nearly a
decade, while increases in
the California Consumer
Price Index (19 percent) and
the state minimum wage (33
percent) have taken a toll on
the sustainability of many
programs. As a result,
nearly a third of these
programs could shut down
by 2018 – some as early as
next year – if the state
doesn’t act now.
Key speakers for the twoday CA challenge included:
State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Tom
Torlakson; San Francisco
Human Rights Commission
Vice Chair, Sheryl Davis;
State Assembly Member
Kevin McCarty; State
Assembly Member, Jim
Cooper; Citrus Heights
Police Chief, Chris Boyd;
and others.
“I commend the state of
California for having the
largest after school
investment in the country,
topping half a billion dollars
a year,” said Torlakson. “As
a former teacher and coach,
I know that education is a
daylong, year-round
endeavor. After school helps
improve student attendance
at school, cuts dropout rates,
reduces juvenile crime, and
boost academic success.
Currently, expanded
learning serves nearly
500,000 California’s students
at nearly 5,000 sites, but we
have work to do until every
child who wants to be in
after school gets a chance to
attend,” he added.

National park plans prescribed burns
Lassen Volcanic National
Park plans to initiate a 50acre prescribed fire project in
the Mineral headquarters
area in late May/early June
pending weather conditions.
Ignition is expected to occur
over a cumulative three to
five day period with residual
burn down predicted to take
place up to one week after
final ignition operations. The
fire will be regularly staffed
and monitored until declared
out. The project is located at
the western edge of the
community of Mineral,
California, along state
Highway 36 and encompasses
the Lassen Volcanic National
Park administrative
headquarters. It lies amongst
and directly adjacent to park
administrative and
residential buildings. In
addition, perimeter project
boundaries lie adjacent to
private residences and
Caltrans operational
facilities. The planned
treatment area has been
segmented into seven
individual units averaging
five acres in size to help
facilitate management of
smoke production and fire
behavior. The project will be
accessed by multiple agencies
and community road systems,
which will further facilitate
containment of project
activities.
Approximately 95 percent
of the project area has
received manual thinning in
recent years to help produce
more fire resistant and
resilient fuel profiles in the
area. The project’s goal is to
break up the continuity of
the fuels, which have
unnaturally accumulated due
to the absence of fire as a
natural disturbance process.
Historically, fires would
regularly burn in this
vegetation community every
five to 20 years, thus shaping
and maintaining this natural
environment. Reintroduction
of fire and subsequent
maintenance treatments will
help mimic historic and
natural fire activity to
preserve the historic
vegetation community. This
in turn will help protect park
resources (i.e. historic
structures, grave site, split
rail fences, riparian areas and
cultural landscapes) and
community infrastructure
from undesired wild land fire
events. The Fire Management
Program at Lassen Volcanic
National Park uses
prescribed fire, where
appropriate, for the
restoration of fire-dependent
ecosystems and for resource
management goals.
Prescribed fire projects are
conducted in a manner
consistent with park and
prescribed fire plans. For
more information, call the
park at 595-4480 or visit the
park website at nps.gov/lavo.
The Susanville Indian
Rancheria hosts the seventh
annual Powwow Friday, May
20 through Sunday, May 22 at
the Lassen County
Fairgrounds.
The Grand Entry will be
held at 7 p.m. Friday, May 20,
at noon and 7 p.m. Saturday,
May 21 and at noon Sunday,
May 22.
“I really want the
Susanville community to
come out to the powwow this
year and see how we honor
and have fun dancing to
native drums,” said Amelia
Luna, the SIR powwow
coordinator.
According to Tribal
Chairman, Brandon
Gutierrez, the powwow is a
spiritual event filled with
prayer and is meant to be
sacred and safe.
“Many songs are prayers
and dancing is praying,” said
Gutierrez. “It’s a spiritual
event.”
Gutierrez said this year the
powwow will be dedicated to
the trials and service of the
Vietnam veterans.
“They weren’t welcomed
when they came home,” said
Gutierrez, “and we’d like to
honor them.”
“We are one of the few
powwows in Northern
California that honors
veterans,” said Gutierrez.
He said the powwow honors
all veterans, not just those
who are Native American.
“Race doesn’t come into
play overseas,” said
Gutierrez. “What really
matters is who is wearing the
same color uniform.”
Gutierrez said the names of
all Native American veterans
who have passed away will be
read off and “Taps” will be
played.
According to Gutierrez,
submissions were taken, and
banners with local veterans
from World War I to present
will be displayed around the
dance arena.
According to Luna, this
year’s headwoman is Keeyana
Yellowman who is Warm
Springs, Wasco and Navajo
descent. Yellowman is from
Warm Springs, Oregon. She
has participated in the
Gathering of Nations in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, as
well as the Miss Indian World
Pageant. This year’s headman
is Kellen Joseph from the
Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation
and Hopi from Warms,
Oregon.
Luna said the powwow will
also feature two hoop dancers,
the male hoop dancer being
Kaiwin Clements from Warm
Springs, Oregon and the
female hoop dancer being
Nanabah Kadenehii from
Tuba City, Arizona. Both
dancers participated at World
Hoop.
The powwow will feature
two dances never performed
at the SIR Powwow: the
Round Bustle/ Prairie
Chicken style dance led by
Joseph and a Brother/Sister
special led by Yellowman.
“It’s a gathering
opportunity for family and
friends to reconnect,” said
Gutierrez.

Administrator Jared
Hancock, when the area
between Riverside Drive and
Main Street was being looked
at for redevelopment, the
road had to be renamed.
The decision to name the
street Rob’s Way “was a
really easy one to make,” he
said during the ceremony.
Along with the naming of
the street came a memorial
bench for those who knew
McElrath to visit, leave
flowers and look at
everything that was dear to
the officer’s life.
According to Hancock, the
spot is a place where visitors
can always visit in
McElrath’s memory.
According to Chaplain
Bruce Ingal, the road itself
was very symbolic for what
McElrath stood for.
It is straight, like his
integrity and faith and short,
in that his life was cut too
short.
From the memorial is also
the view of the Hall of
Justice and Main Street,
meaning the community.
During the ceremony,
McElrath’s family members
had the opportunity to place
flowers by each side of the
bench.
Additionally, honoring his
time, Teresa Dixon said a
prayer in the Northern
Paiute language and Native
Boyz performed a Blessing
Song.

The state of Jefferson has
been a hot topic among many
in Northern California.
At the Lassen Community
College Board of Trustees
Meeting, Tuesday, May 10,
the board voted to approve a
resolution opposing Lassen
County’s Measure G —
Proposed State of Jefferson.
At the April 26 meeting,
local Marshall Leve asked
the board to oppose Measure
G.
“I’m hesitant to vote
against it because I’m afraid
to lose funding,” said Sophia
Wages, board member.
It was said that if measure
G were to be passed the
district would lose
approximately $12,000,000
annually.
“We’re representing a
large institution and if it
fails because we don’t stand
to protect it then it’s on us,”
said board member Lou
Hamilton.
The resolution was passed
with one board member
being absent and one
opposing.

OBITUARIES
Rudolph J. Baierlein
Rudolph “Rudy” J.
Baierlein, age 91, passed away
Wednesday, April 27, 2016, at
Renown Regional Hospital in
Reno, Nevada. He was born
July 10, 1924 in Port
Richmond, New York, to Hans
Baierlein and Claire Anna
Dinkelbach. Rudy was the
second oldest of five children.
He is preceded in death by his
three brothers, Raymond,
Richard and John as well as
his sister, Dee.
Family was one of the most
important things to him. He
was very close to all of his
brothers and especially close
to his sister. He always put
family first in any situation
and was loved and cherished
by all of his nephews and
nieces. He spread joy with his
kind acts, bringing happiness
and love to all of his family.
He is survived in death by
Joyce (wife of his brother
Raymond) and his nephews,
Richard, Ron, Mitch, Kevin
and Keith as well as many
great and great-great nieces
and nephews.
He joined the Navy on July
14, 1943 and served until
March 3, 1946 and was
stationed in Oran Algeria

Supply Depot. Upon his
discharge from the Navy, he
went on to work at McClellen
Air Force Base in
Sacramento, California,
where he repaired altimeters
for the B52 flying fortress.
He lived in Sacramento
over 50 years, creating a home

family shared with him from
time to time. Rudy and his
sister Dee moved to
Susanville, California, in 2005
to enjoy their retirement
years. In his free time he
enjoyed skiing, traveling,
bowling and square dancing.
One of his favorite things
to do was take road trips and
cruises with his family
members, often getting into
what they called
“adventures.” He was an
amazing and caring man who
will be deeply missed. He was
more than an uncle to his
family. A celebration of life
will be held in his honor at 1
p.m. May 21 at his home in
Susanville.

Water conservation effort made a difference
Californians sharpened
their water saving efforts in
March, conserving 24.3
percent compared to the
amount used in March 2013 –
double February’s savings
and evidence that residents
and businesses remain
concerned about the
persistent drought now in its
fifth year. Statewide
cumulative savings from June
2015 to March 2016 totaled 23.9
percent compared with the
same months in 2013.
“While some parts of the
state saw rain and snow, other
parts, specifically the Central
Valley and Southern
California, didn’t; and yet, all
Californians stepped up again
to conserve water, because
they know they can and that
it is good for California,” said
State Water Resources
Control board chair Felicia

Marcus. “Twenty-four percent
in March is a stunningly
welcome number. As we head
into the warmer summer
months, we need to keep
conserving. We may not need
the same levels of
conservation as last year, but
we still need to keep all we
can in our reservoirs and
groundwater basins in case
this winter is just a
punctuation mark in a longer
drought.”
With nearly 1.3 million
acre-feet of water conserved
from June 2015 through
March 2016, the state
continues to save an
impressive amount of water.
The March data show a
strong start following
renewed emergency water
conservation regulations
adopted by the board on Feb.
2. Statewide, the conservation
rate doubled from 12 percent
in February to 24.3 percent in
March, likely due to wetter
weather and more seasonal
temperatures, along with
awareness that drought
conditions could outlast
existing water supplies. A
staff proposal that may offer
revisions to the Feb. 2
emergency water
conservation regulations is
expected soon, following
review of written and oral
comments from a public
workshop on April 20 to
receive input on conservation
needs through the summer
and fall. The workshop was
conducted to solicit ideas for
adjustments to the current
emergency regulations given
changes in water supply,
storage and snow pack as

compared to last year’s
historic statewide
deficiencies. The board for
comment and adoption on
May 18 will consider this staff
proposal.
“It’s not time yet for a
droughts over party. That
said, March brought us much
needed rain and snow—still
less than average but huge
compared to the worst in 500
years, which is where we
were last year,” Chair Marcus
said. “We’ve gotten a bit of a
reprieve but not a hall pass.
Now we are figuring out how
to appropriately adjust to a
better but not ideal
situation.”
An updated and extended
emergency regulation was
adopted by the board on Feb.
2, with most revisions taking
effect for the March reporting
period. The regulation
extends restrictions on urban
water use through October
while providing urban water
suppliers some latitude in
their conservation
requirements. The action
follows Governor Edmund G.
Brown Jr.’s Nov. 13, 2015,
executive order directing the
state water board to extend
the emergency water
conservation regulation
through Oct. 31, 2016, should
drought conditions persist.
Any changes made by the
board May 18, would be
anticipated to take effect in
June, and remain in effect
through Oct. 31, 2016.
March Conservation Data
Cumulative statewide
percent reduction for June
2015 to March 2016 (ten
months) is 23.9 percent, which
equates to 1,295,703 acres-feet
(422.2 billion gallons).
Statewide water savings for
March 2016 was 24.3 percent
(107,468 acre feet or 35.0
billion gallons), more than
double February 2016’s 12
percent savings rate.
Associated with higher
monthly savings, and due to
the adjustments and credits
included in the extended
emergency regulation, March
2016 saw an increased level of
compliance with 71 percent of
suppliers meeting their
conservation standards.
Statewide average water use
was 66 residential gallons per
capital per day (R-GPCD) for
March 2016, which was lower
than 67 R-GPCD in February
2016 and 82.5 R-GPCD in
March 2015.
Enforcement
The Office of Enforcement
continues to work with
suppliers that are not meeting
their conservation standards.
Since June 2015, the state
water board has issued 11
conservation orders, 120
notices of violation,
99 warning letters, four
administrative civil liability
complaints (one fine paid, two
stipulated orders in public
comment, one in
negotiations) and seven
alternative compliance
orders.
Background
In his April 1, 2015
executive order, Governor
Brown mandated a 25 percent
water use reduction by users
of urban water supplies
across California. In May
2015, the state water board
adopted an emergency
regulation requiring an
immediate 25 percent
reduction in overall potable
urban water use. The
regulation uses a sliding scale
for setting conservation
standards, so that
communities that have
already reduced their R-

GPCD through past
conservation will have lower
mandates than those that
have not made such gains
since the last major drought.
On Feb. 2, 2016, based on
Governor Brown’s November
2015 executive order, the state
water board approved an
updated and extended
emergency regulation that
will continue mandatory
reductions through October,
unless revised before then.
The extended regulation
responds to calls for
continuing the conservation
structure that has spurred
such dramatic savings so far
while providing greater
consideration of some factors
that influence water use:
climate, population growth
and significant investments
in new local, drought-resilient
water supplies such as
wastewater reuse and
desalination. Under the
extended regulation,
statewide water conservation
is expected to continue at the
high levels Californians have
been achieving since June
2015. The state water board
tracks water conservation for
each of the state’s larger
urban water suppliers (those
with more than 3,000
connections) on a monthly
basis, but compliance with
individual water supplier
conservation requirements is
based on cumulative savings. .

Volunteers
sought for
California’s
Road Charge
Pilot launch
Having reached its initial
goal of 5,000 volunteers, the
Caltrans Road Charge Pilot
program is now asking more
rural drivers to sign-up to
ensure that the pilot
accurately depicts the needs
of the entire state of
California.
In 2014, the legislature
directed the state to
implement the California
Road Charge Pilot to
determine whether a road
charge could be an equitable
and sustainable way to
replace the deteriorating gas
tax and better fund
transportation infrastructure.
The state’s current
transportation funding
system relies on fuel taxes,
which have been decreasing
due to overall improvements
in vehicle fuel economy and
an increasing use of hybrid
and electric vehicles. The
current fuel excise tax is
sufficient to fund
approximately $2.3 billion of
work, leaving $5.7 billion in
unfunded repairs each year to
maintain 50,000 lane-miles of
state highway and nearly
13,000 state-owned bridges.
Under a road charge system,
drivers’ pay based on the
number of miles they drive,
rather than how much gas
they consume.
California is not alone in
exploring a road charge
model as a gas tax alternative.
Congress recently passed the
Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation Act, which
created a five-year, $95 million
grant program for states to
test a future road charge
alternative revenue
mechanism.
“We’re proud to be leading
the charge in California using
the vital input we received
from hundreds of
stakeholders and pilot
volunteers that represent
every region of the state,”
said Caltrans Director
Malcolm Dougherty.
During the design of the
California pilot, the Road
Charge Technical Advisory
Committee highlighted the
difference in need between
the state’s rural and urban
drivers and recommended
that the impacts of a road
charge on the two groups be
carefully assessed.
“It is important that the
pilot represents a diversity of
perspectives so the legislature
has the complete picture it
needs in order to decide if it
wants to proceed with
enacting a full-scale road
charge program,” said
Caltrans Director Malcolm
Dougherty.
Rural drivers are
encouraged to sign up to
participate in the nine-month
program. There is no cost to
volunteer. For more

Statements from the June 2016 Lassen County
Board of Supervisors District 1 candidates
Four candidates are
running for the Lassen
County Board of Supervisors
District 1 seat held by
incumbent Bob Pyle, who did
not seek re-election.
If a candidate receives 50
percent of the vote plus one,
that candidate will be elected.
Otherwise, the top-two votegetters will square off in a
runoff election held in
November.
Alex de Martimprey
Tell us about yourself.
What should the voters
know about you?
I grew up in Southern
California where I left the
wild world of leading an
eight-piece jazz/rock band
and managing a high tech
electronics lab for Xerox’s
computer division to
permanently move in 1975 to
the peace and beauty of our
vacation home in Westwood. I
helped my father build up his
hardware store and took over
the business when he became
the district supervisor in
1984.
My beautiful wife Chrystal
and I have been married 38
years and have been blessed
with six children. I have
received a degree in business
and public administration
from Pepperdine University
and a U.S. patent for a new
technology in cutting steel. I
have been a teacher and
worship leader at Lake
Almanor Community Church
since its founding in 1978. I
have served the community
as a soccer coach and referee
for 37 years, a ski instructor
at Coppervale Ski Area for 12
years, president of the
Westwood Area Chamber of
Commerce, designed and
managed the first Paul
Bunyan Mountain Festival in
1988, which continues as an
annual regional event.
I believe that large and
small locally owned
businesses are the primary
creators of wealth in every
community. That the more
products and services that
can be created from within
the community, the greater
the benefits for everyone. By
gathering committed,
creative people together, new
business opportunities can
be created for sustainable,
economic development.
I also believe government
should exist solely to protect
the freedom and rights of its
lawful citizens.
• That private property and
responsible access to public
land are rights of its citizens.
• That government
employees should
understand and remember
their role as public servants,
working effectively for the
best interests of their
employers, the taxpayers.
• That dedication and a
commitment to integrity
form the foundation of a
good government.
• I believe that the role of a
district supervisor is to
represent the desires and
concerns of his constituents
with honesty and integrity,
while being a competent
financial manager of the
county budget.
What challenges do
you see facing District 1?
I believe that we are going
to be facing major challenges
in the near future that may
affect our access to resources
like water, firewood, hunting,
fishing and possible
disruption of our
sophisticated infrastructure
like the Internet, power and
fuel. I will solicit others to
join me in examining our
Office of Emergency
Services (OES) Plan for
preparedness in the event of
natural or unnatural
disasters, and our ability to
address the needs of the
urban and outlying rural
communities.
This June the voters of
Lassen County will have the
opportunity to decide if they
want to be a part of the
Jefferson State Movement. If
approved, it is vital that the
county be prepared to
adequately plan for choices
and changes that could take
effect. It will be important to
have well-informed leaders
that understand how
effective government works.
If the voters decide to
proceed, I believe that I have
the knowledge and
experience to work well with
the other supervisors to best
represent and protect the
interests of Lassen County.
If elected, what goals do
you hope to accomplish?
If elected, I hope to
effectively serve the needs of
district 1, and help lead in a
positive and prosperous
direction with honesty,
integrity, knowledge and
commitment to provide the
local government that the
citizens of Lassen County
deserve.
Chris Gallagher
What challenges do you
see facing District 1?
We face a number of
challenges within our
District 1 and need a
supervisor who can hit the
ground running and work
hard for all the people of
Lassen County. One example
is Westwood’s loss of Young’s
Market, a major blow to
those who wish and need to
shop close to home. I will
work to bring back a market,
and other small businesses.
Westwood can prosper once
again.
Business and tourism is
key to revenue for the county,
and new revenue means jobs.

STATEMENTS, from page 3B
general manager of the
Indian Valley Community
Services District. These local
government organizations
provide volunteer fire,
wastewater and recreation
services to their small
communities.
My personal priorities are
God, family and country. I am
a conservative and cherish
our Constitution and Bill of
Rights, including my right to
own guns. The ability to
protect my family and
fulfilling my passion for
hunting are important. I love
living in Lassen County
where outdoor activities are
in our backyards.
These passions and
interests create a need in me
to make a difference to my
community!
Since 2003 in Susanville I
have volunteered in a
number of capacities,
serving on the Lassen County
Fish and Game Commission,
the boards of directors for
the Best of Broadway, the
Susanville Symphony and the
Chamber of Commerce. I
also served two terms on the
Lassen County Grand Jury.
Volunteerism has shown me
the importance of being
involved in community. I feel
that all my experiences have
made me particularly
qualified to handle the
variety of issues that will
present themselves to the
Lassen County Board of
Supervisors.
While a supervisor has
only one vote on issues, my
proven ability to build
consensus and teamwork will
keep a flow of fresh ideas
and strong leadership to the
process and make things
happen. It is my hope that
you will see that I have the
experience, education and
leadership ability to work to
improve the overall health of
Lassen County. Once elected,
my ability to bring about
consensus will make the new
board a strong agent of
success. That is what we
need going forward for all
our residents.
Paul Statti
know about you?
I grew up in a small town
in northern California.
When I was a freshman in
high school, my father joined
the Air Force, and we spent
the next seven years living in
Spain, Italy and England.
During that time, my family
and I took advantage of our
time in Europe, and my
father’s military career, and
we traveled extensively. It
was then that I developed an
incredible appreciation for
our military personnel and
our veterans, and I have
since become a strong
advocate. I then returned to
the states to start college at
Brigham Young University. A
year later I left to serve a
two-year mission in England
for my church.
After that, I worked as a
pharmacy technician in
northern California. I
achieved an A.S. degree in
general science, and a B.S. in
criminal justice from
Sacramento State. I then
started with the Department
of Corrections where I rose
up the ranks, while working
in Vacaville, Calipatria and
Susanville. I got married
during that time and had two
children. I was an officer,
sergeant, lieutenant,
correctional counselor I and
II, and acting captain.
What challenges do you
see facing District 1?
During my 21 years in
Susanville, I have paid close
attention to the local politics.
I have seen several
challenges our county has
faced, and our local leaders
have not always made the
right decisions. Some
popular “buzz words” that
most of the candidates use
are, “Economic Growth,”
“Crime Problem,” and
“Transparency.” These are
“talking points” that skilled
politicians use. But I am not
a politician, and I am serious
about my convictions. I want
to see Lassen County
encourage local folks to open
up their own successful
businesses. I want to
encourage gradual growth
that is done the right way. We
have the ability to bring
Fortune 250 companies to our
area, which will bring many
permanent high-paying jobs
to our local residents.
Another concern I have is
with our law enforcement.
This is not a “buzz phrase” to
me. There have been so many
cuts to our police force and
sheriff ’s department that we
are not safe anymore.
Equipment is outdated and
our personnel level is beyond
the critical point. We need to
increase the size of our
sheriff ’s department and
raise the pay of all our local
law enforcement. We need to
have useable equipment for
our peace officers to become
and remain safe again. This
will help us to retain our
highly trained personnel.
I have attended our local
board meetings for three
years now. There are times
when the board actions have
been vague and confusing.
Our budget process needs to
be transparent and untangled
so that everybody will able to
understand the process. By
the way, I’m the only
candidate who has been
attending for three years.
The only one. How serious
can the other candidates be
when they’ve never even
attended one meeting?
If elected, what goals
do you hope to accomplish?
I am running for District 1
supervisor because I still
care about Lassen County
and our people. I care about
the future direction in which
we are heading, and the
critical decisions that must
be made over the next several
years.
I can’t brag about being a
politician or being politically
connected, and I’m proud of
that fact. This is so I don’t
owe any favors, and I don’t
have to “take one for the
team.” I avoid using catch
phrases like, “Administrative
Skills, “Consensus and
Teamwork,” ‘Strong
Leadership,” “Community
Service” or, ”Make Things
Happen.” I have intentionally
stayed away from all the
“Cliques” and the “Good Old
Boys.” I’m not working two
jobs, I’m not bragging about
my career or the boards on
which I’ve served. I’m not
committed or beholden to
anyone or any group of
people. Because of this, I can
devote all my time to the
position of county
supervisor. If you want
someone who will do what is
best for district 1, and not
just follow the leader, then
I’m your guy.
I want to see a permanent
ambulance and air flight
service. I’ll protect the
private property rights of
our ranching and farming
communities, and I think it’s
time that we repair a few of

Tractor Supply,
4-H announce
results of Spring
Paper Clover
campaign
Tractor Supply Company,
in partnership with the
National 4-H Council,
recently announced the
record-breaking fundraising
results of its spring 2016
Paper Clover Campaign.
Tractor Supply Company
and Del’s Feed and Farm
Supply, the largest retail
farm and ranch supply store
chain in the United States,
raised an astounding $935,351
during the 12-day national instore fundraiser. Over the
course of the seven-year
partnership, Tractor Supply
has raised more than $9.2
million for 4-H programs
across the country through
Paper Clover Campaigns in
both the fall and spring
season.
“This spring’s Paper
Clover Campaign was a huge
success thanks to our
dedicated customers,” said
Christi Korzekwa, Senior
Vice President of Marketing
at Tractor Supply. “We
exceeded our goal, and we
couldn’t have done it without

Shoppers at Tractor
Supply Company and Del’s
Feed and Food Supply stores
had the opportunity to
purchase paper clovers
between April 13 to 24 for one
dollar or more during
checkout. The effort has
provided direct support for
local camps, after-school
programs and other
activities, and has granted
scholarships to these events
so that youth can explore
their interests in everything
from animal science to
robotics.
“It is extremely gratifying
to witness the significant

Paper Clover Campaign,”
said Jennifer Sirangelo,
president and CEO, National
4-H Council. “We are proud
of this important
partnership with Tractor

raises resources to help
support 4-H positive youth
development programs in
local communities across the
United States,” added
Sirangelo.
Seventy percent of the
funds raised benefit state
and local 4-H youth
development program
activities, such as local
camps and after-school
programs, and granted
scholarships for 4-H youth in
the communities where
Tractor Supply and Del’s

State pushes bicycle safety
May is National Bike
Safety Month, and the
California Highway Patrol is
reminding motorists and
bicyclists to share
responsibility for roadway
safety. California’s weather
allows bicyclists to enjoy
riding many months
throughout the year.
Although bicycle safety
should be practiced every
day, the month of May has
been set aside to draw
awareness to how we can all
help minimize bicycle
injuries and deaths.
“As important as it is for
drivers to be mindful of
bicyclists, those who ride
their bicycles must exercise
safe practices and ride
smart,” said CHP
commissioner Joe Farrow.
“With all roadway users
doing their part, we can help
reduce the number of
tragedies.”
According to 2014 statistics
from the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety, each year
about two percent of
collision victims are
bicyclists. In a majority of
the bicycle deaths, the most
serious injuries are to the
head, highlighting the
importance of wearing a
bicycle helmet. Helmet use
has been estimated to reduce
the odds of head injury by 50
percent.
Bicyclists and motorists
should be especially aware
that a large number of
collisions that result in death
occur in the late afternoon or
evening. The National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration reported that
48 percent of bicyclist deaths
occurred between 4 p.m. and
midnight.
Bicyclists on the roadway
have all the rights and
responsibilities of a vehicle
driver and are responsible
for complying with the law.
Riders must also obey the
laws of the road, such as
stopping at the signs and stop
lights, and yielding to
pedestrians. Riders can
increase their safety by
wearing reflective clothing,
wearing a helmet, watching
for parked cars, staying alert
at all times, looking before
turning and riding with the
flow of traffic.
In recent years, California
has implemented traffic
safety laws to help improve
conditions on the road for
bicyclists and motorists. The
Three Feet for Safety Act
became operative on Sept. 16,
2014, and requires motorists
to allow at least three feet of
clearance when passing a
bicyclist. Also, effective Jan.
1, 2016, the slow-moving
vehicle statute was clarified
to require any vehicle,
including bicyclists,
proceeding upon a highway
at a speed less than the
normal speed of traffic, to
pull of the roadway if it has
five or more vehicles lined up
behind it.
Motorists need to be aware
of bicyclists on the roadways
and take certain precautions
when sharing the road.
Drivers should follow a few
safety tips to help reduce
bicycle-involved collisions,
such as, slow down, be
patient, share the road, look
twice for bicyclists and
expect bicyclists on the
roadway.
Data from the Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records
System shows that in 2013
there were 164 bicyclists
killed in collisions statewide,
which represents an 11.5
percent increase from the
previous year. Since 2013, the
number of bicyclists killed in
collisions has dropped each
year. In 2015, there were 133

bicyclists killed in collisions
statewide. This represents a
23 percent decrease from
2013.
Although the number of
bicyclists killed has declined
recently, there are still too
many fatal collisions
occurring throughout the
state. There is work to be
done on the part of both
bicyclists and motorists.
“With the month-long
promotion of bicycle safety
awareness throughout the
state, we hope to see the
number of incidents
involving bicyclists continue
to decline,” added
Commissioner Farrow.
“Through education, mutual
respect and observance of
traffic laws, we can help
make the roadways a safer
place for all.”
The mission of the CHP is
to provide the highest level of
safety, service and security to
the people of California.

Utility approves
rate increase
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
During the Susanville
Sanitary District’s Board of
Directors meeting a public
hearing regarding a rate
increase took place.
According to General
Manager Randy O’Hern, the
last time rates were
increased was in January of
2005.
“A four dollar on the
average per customer rate
increase seems like a fairly
reasonable amount,” said
O’Hern.
After hearing from two
people who opposed the rate
increase, the board voted to
approve it.
“The letter talks about
what is a possible increase of
20 percent and the reasons
given are for lack of growth,
forclosures, rising costs,
inflation, fuel costs,
Obamacare and energy
costs,” said John Larrivee,
who opposed the increase.
Larrivee said he did not
understand this and listed
off many reasons why he felt
this made no sense. Larrivee
brought up reasons such as
inflation being near zero,
fuel costs decreasing, energy
costs rising very little, lack
of growth being a previously
addressed issue, foreclosures
having peaked seven years
ago and mentioned salary
increases.
“There has been a
substantial cost in our cost
of doing business,” said
O’Hern, “Typically, other
than this last year, we’ve
seen at a 2 percent
inflation.”
O’Hern mentioned they
have taken numerous
different hits from health
care costs.
“If you don’t have any
growth we’re not building
new subdivisions and new
homes where does additional
money come from?” said
O’Hern.
O’Hern said that sitting
down and looking at the
expenditures that there is
only so much that can be cut.
One customer, who could
not attend the hearing, wrote
a letter saying she felt the
rate increase would affect
seniors and others who were
living on fixed incomes.
“I understand there’s
people on fixed incomes and
I understand that amount
can be a struggle for people
but at some point if we don’t
have enough money to
properly maintain and
operate the utility the offset
to that is fines from the state
water quality
control board.”
“The bottom line is the
revenue that we generate,
currently we’ve run out of
money. We’ve done forecasts
out to project what the
revenue amount might be,
we’re hoping to not nickel
and dime people every year.
We want to get out four or
five years,” said O’Hern.

Supes ask CDFW to not
reduce hunting quotas
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
The Lassen County Board
of Supervisors approved a
resolution to the California
Department of Fish and
Wildlife to discourage the set
aside of big game take
quotas for predators.
“This resolution was
developed to just tell the
department fish and wildlife,
especially their commission,
that we do not appreciate or
need a cut in big game tags to
benefit wolves,” said Don
Armentrout of the Lassen
County Fish and Game
Commission. “This was
brought up by the wolf
committee. And they are a
group of anti-hunters, and
they believe if there’s
enough game the wolves will
never go after a cow or a
calf.”
In a letter from the local
commission to the board of
supervisors, it requested the
board approve sending the
resolution to the CDFW,
which requested the state
department not reduce
hunting quotas since there
was no scientific basis for it.
“Like many of the policy
changes demanded of CDFW
this is a ploy by anti- hunting
and animal rights groups to
further curtail hunting in
California. In the absence of
any reliable scientific data,
these groups use emotion to
sway people to their way of
thinking. In turn, these
people use their influence to
effect policy change at CDFW
to reflect their self-serving
values,” read the letter.
It continued, stating,
“Despite protecting the
mountain lion by law, there
has been no demonstrable
off-setting effect in control of
big game populations. It is
clear that these groups
believe that the imminent
repopulation of wolves
within California opens the
door to make another run at
limiting hunting
opportunities. Based on
anecdotal evidence from
western ranches, wolves are
more likely to predate
domesticated cattle herds
than wild game populations.”
Armentrout also continued
hunting brings money to the
area from outside the county.
“The premium X zones
which make up much of the
county are highly sought
tags that result in several
days, if not weeks, of noncounty residents temporarily
residing in the county and
availing themselves of our
resources. Losing this
income due to reduced
hunting opportunity would
not be in the best interests of
the public,” read the letter
addressed to the board.
“Very well done … I
appreciate you guys being on
top of this and having
something written up for us,”
said Supervisor Aaron
Albaugh, who added hunting
also help landowners with
the management of their
resources.

E D I TO R I A L
Monday is the last
day to register to vote
If you plan to vote in the June 7
Presidential Primary Election and you
haven’t registered to vote, you’re running
out of time.
The deadline to register to vote in the
upcoming election is Monday, May 23.
In order to be eligible to register to vote
in California, one must be a United States
citizen, be a resident of California, be 18
years of age or older on Election Day, not
be currently imprisoned or on parole for
the conviction of a felony and currently
not be found to be mentally incompetent by
a court of law.
Some voters may need to re-register
including those who have moved to a new
permanent residence, changed their name
or changed to a new
political party
DITORIAL
affiliation.
E
Why bother to vote?
Some people have all kinds of reasons for
not voting — such as my one vote doesn’t
count, or everything I vote for always loses.
It’s easy to get frustrated and give up on the
whole electoral process. It’s happened a
time or two before, but one vote seldom
decides an election. Instead elections are
decided by larger margins when all the
votes are counted and more of your friends
and neighbors voted one way than the
other. Every vote counts. Every vote makes
a difference. If you don’t cast a vote, your
voice is not heard.
Do we citizens have
an obligation to vote?
Apparently the jury is somewhat split on
that question. Some websites even opine
you may actually have an obligation not to
vote, if you don’t like the candidates or
believe the process is corrupt, for example.
Voter turnout in the United States is
among the worst in the world. During the
1990s less than half the people eligible to
vote cast a ballot.
In Lassen County in the November 2012
Presidential Election, the League of
Women Voters reports a turnout of 76.5
percent, compared to 71.3 percent
statewide.
The presidential races for both the
Republicans and the Democrats may be
mostly decided by the time June 7 rolls
around, and there are several state and
national races on the ballot.
All politics are local
Here’s where it gets interesting. Closer to
home, Lassen County voters will decide if
the county should join the state of
Jefferson or remain in California — an
important decision for the people to make
that will affect our future for years to come,
regardless of which way the people vote.
Three seats are open on the Lassen
County Board of Supervisors, including
two seats abandoned by veteran
supervisors to allow opportunities for new
representatives and new ideas in county
government. The board of supervisors will
surely undergo a dramatic transformation.
Are you going to have a voice in this
change? And don’t forget — three votes on
the board of supervisors is a majority.
A similar situation has developed in the
race for three seats on the Susanville City
Council, too. Again, three votes on the
Susanville City Council is a majority.
Elections offer the people an opportunity
to express their opinion and their will. We
hope you’ll join in the process.
For more information or to register to
vote, call the Lassen County Clerk at 2518217.
The deadline to register, Monday, May 23

The Bard, the Boss, the Bern
A recent trip to Seattle to visit my twin
sister allowed me to spend some time with
three of my favorite men: William “The Bard”
Shakespeare, Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen
and Bernie “Feel the Bern” Sanders.
First up was The Bard. The Seattle Public
Library’s Central Library was exhibiting a
First Folio of Shakespeare’s works, on loan
from the Folger Shakespeare Library as part
of a traveling exhibit to commemorate the
400th anniversary of The Bard’s death.
Printed in 1623, the First Folio contains 36
of Shakespeare’s plays, half of which had
never been published before. Were it not for
the folio, works like “Macbeth,” “The
Tempest” and “Twelfth Night” might have
been lost.
Two members of The Bard’s acting
company produced the folio in an effort to
preserve authentic versions of the plays.
Thanks to their foresight, we enjoy those
plays today.
Around 750 copies were printed; 233 known
copies survive today, 82 of which are in the
Folger collection.
The book itself was not that much to look
at. About the size of a large dictionary, it is
wall-to-wall tightly spaced text — hats off to
the typesetters for the detailed, intricate work!
Few copies of the folio are the same because
the typesetters made corrections on the fly.
The folio was open to Hamlet’s immortal
“To be or not to be” monologue.
The exhibit also contained a Third Folio
(1664), which is actually more rare than the
first because many unsold copies were
destroyed in the London fire of 1666.
It was open to the famous “All the world’s a
stage/And all the men and women merely
players” from “As You Like It.”
That evening my sister and I headed to Key
Arena to see Bruuuuuuuce, a man who knows

a thing or two about being on stage.
Springsteen and the E Street Band played
all-out, non-stop for three hours and 45
minutes. They reprised the entire “The River”
album before moving on to audience requests.
Bruce would bring the energy up, and just
as I was thinking he couldn’t possibly sustain
it, he took it even higher.
Here was a group doing what they love with
the people they love. The band has had a
couple of entrances and exits in recent years
— losing organ and accordion player Danny
Federici and saxophonist Clarence “Big Man”
Clemens, whose nephew has joined the band
in his stead.
Unlike Shakespeare, Springsteen has
actively been shaping his own legacy by
curating his catalog and penning a memoir,
due out in September.
The next evening, my sister and I were off
to Safeco Field to see if we could Feel the
Bern. When we exited the freeway, the
entrance line already stretched half a mile. By
the time we parked and joined it, the line
LETTERS
Jefferson delusions
I have to shake my head in
disbelief over the wild rantings
and ravings from the Jefferson
state movement on the front page
of the May 10 paper. All I can say
is wow. This is the same
arrogance of the Tea Party
movement and look what
happened with that. Tea Party
darlings such as, Paul Ryan and
Ted Cruz are now reviled as
corporate tools and liars. And
their dream of impeaching
Obama has failed time and
again.
It will be the same for the socalled Jefferson state movement,
another failed political agenda.
When will the people in the
Jefferson state movement get a
clue? The U.S. Supreme Court
has better things to worry about
than the crazy ideas of a minor
movement. They can easily tell
these people where the wind
blows and that the case will not
be heard. In case the Jefferson
people forgot, the U.S. Supreme
Court has the power to do that.
Some small political group has
no power or place to tell the state
Assembly of California what
they need to do. Nor think that
they can tell the people what to
do or dismiss what the majority
of the people think. If most of
the counties and populace don’t
want a new state, then they don’t.
End of story. In ramming ahead
in disregard for the peoples’
rights, you are against the very
U.S. Constitution and peoples’
rights you are supposedly
defending with this nonsense.
Lastly, just whom do these
people in charge of this mess,
Mike and Steve Baird, think they
are thinking they know what the
people of Lassen County want or
don’t want? Are either of these
men even from Lassen County,
let alone the north state. They
assume to know what we think
here. Are they even from
California to begin with? And I
would just like to know who is
backing them with all this
money to go to court? Who is
paying their legal fees? Honestly,
I smell a rat with these two men,
selling snake oil to the good
people of Lassen County.

Horse trailer thieves
Several months ago, there was
a rash theft of horse trailers and
my niece, who lives in
Susanville, was robbed. Can you
say grand larceny? Why was
nothing done about this case?
Had this been followed up on,
perhaps the thieves would not
have came to Tehama County
and proceeded to rob more
innocent, hard-working people
who pay taxes. Be mindful at
election time. Do you want your
property protected? Me too. From

Why I oppose Jefferson
I oppose this for several
reasons, two of which I present
here.
First, there is no clear picture
of what Jefferson’s economic
base would be. As things stand
now, the new state would edge
out Mississippi as the poorest in
the union.
A dubious honor.
Second, Jefferson’s creation
would tear many residents out of
California. I, for one, don’t want
to become a Jeffersonian. I’m
happy in the Golden State. I see
no reason why I must endure the
inconvenience and expense of
packing my things and moving
back across wherever the new
border might be.
May I suggest this: those who
feel they aren’t getting enough
representation in California’s
capital (the rationale for the
movement) can simply pack
their own bags and
leave. You incur the moving
costs. Both Nevada and Oregon
are nearby. Move into one of
them. Who knows, perhaps
Carson City or Salem will cut
you a better deal than
Sacramento does right now.

Voting for city council
Lino Callegari is again
running for the city council.
People, we do not need him as a
city council member again. He
lists all of his so-called
experience, but think, just
because you have been in a
business or doing a job for 30
years doesn’t mean that you
know what you’re doing.
Remember, he is the city council
member and former police
officer who sat up on his little
nearly circled the stadium.
Security was tight. Secret Service was
there. We had been instructed ahead of time
to bring as little as possible with us. Anything
sharp was prohibited, including signs on
sticks.
The doors opened at 4 p.m. and Sanders did
not appear until after 7 p.m. Bands and other
speakers kept the crowd engaged as people
trickled in, eventually filling most of the
bottom level of the stadium.
After watching the other speakers, it was
clear when Sanders came on why he was the
star of the show.
He commanded the podium, addressing the
crowd in his trademark hoarse voice. He was
funny, self-deprecating about his muchcriticized appearance and pointed in his
remarks about other candidates.
The speech was pretty much his standard
stump with some Seattle-specific nods, such as
a reference to the city’s $15 an hour minimum
wage, thrown in.
The crowd rose to its feet as soon as soon he
stepped onto the grass and stayed standing
throughout his 30-minute oratory.
When it was over, I felt that what you see of
Sanders on TV is what you get.
I think that is the great virtue of each of
these men: they have clarity and authenticity.
They know their values and they live them.
And that is what gives them their power.
Shakespeare was as committed to his craft
as any artist who ever lived. After 40 years in
the business, Springsteen still believes rock
and roll can save your soul. Sanders has
talked the same talk and walked that talk for
50 years.
You might not share their values, but these
men are powerful examples of what we can
achieve when we know our truth and live
by it.
E D I TO R
dais and said, “When one uses
medical marijuana the smoke
causes parasites to go up your
nose and into your brain and
cause it to swell.” He is the city
council member who stole the
people’s voice by telling them
“they didn’t need to come to the
city council meetings “just to
call” that’s how you get an
ordinance passed.
Also, remember Brian Wilson
who was on the city council and
mayor of Susanville is running
again this year. He agreed with
everything that Lino Callegari
said, you say how can I say that,
because Mr. Wilson did not stand
up and denounce what Callegari
said. These two men along with
the other city council members
this year with depraved
indifference and discrimination
banned the medical marijuana
for the sick, elderly and disabled.
Depraved indifference means:
the defendant’s conduct must be
‘so wanton,’ so deficient in a
moral sense of concern, so
lacking in regard for the life or
lives of others, and so
blameworthy as to warrant the
same criminal liability as that
which the law imposes upon a
person who intentionally causes
a crime.
The two city council members
running for city council again
this year, Lino Callegari and
Brian Wilson did, deprive
certain persons of rights or
privileges, did conspire by
depriving, either directly or
indirectly, any person or class of
persons of the equal protection
of the laws, or of equal
privileges and immunities under
the laws. Every person who,
under color of any statute or
ordinance subjects, or causes to
be subjected, any citizen of the
United States to the deprivation
of any rights, privileges or
immunities secured by the
Constitution and laws, shall be

Jefferson: Reality check
I have been following the
organizers of Jefferson for some
time. Through e-mails, Jefferson
handouts and personal contacts I
have been attempting to
understand why Jefferson
proponents think California
state needs to be divided. On
their Susanville presentations, I
give the presenters credit for
being organized and their ability
to work the crowd. They were
very adept at picking and
choosing the people who had
questions favorable to their
cause and ignoring people who
had questions of real concern on
the impact of separating. They
called on selective persons in
attendance to support their line
of thinking. Yes, they are real
pros on a mission with a single
purpose, to sell Jefferson.
However, even though I would
credit the organizers for being
pros in their attempt to sell
Jefferson, I question their
responses to voters on serious
local issues. Questions on
CalPers retirement, the loss of
approximately 3,000 California
state jobs, fiscal issues and the
future funding for education
were either avoided or
manipulated with a murky
response.
There is a reason why the
presenter couldn’t always offer a
truthful answer on those
questions involving serious local
concerns. In reality, the Jefferson
organizers are not in a position
to make those decisions on the
future of CalPers, Cal Fire,
Caltrans, highway patrol,
corrections or funding for

felt when I voted to place this
advisory measure on the
ballot, that I was keeping my
promise to the people who
elected me to let them have a
say in local and state politics.
The state of Jefferson
movement has been going on
for years. With today’s
boiling mad climate in
politics, maybe it can pick up
enough steam to really get
moving.
My thoughts and opinions
on Measure G are that this is
a symbolic vote; it is a tool to
tell the state of California
how we feel about how we
are represented in this vast
state. I know most of the
people in the county are
either employed or retired
from the state of California.
But you should not be afraid
to let the legislature and
governor know that you fear
their unchecked spending,
regulations and fees; that are
the true threats to your
future.
So make your way to your
polling place or if you are
going to be out of town get
an absentee ballot to make a
difference on June 7. This is
a probably the election of
our lifetime this year as we
decide the true direction of
where our county, state and
nation are heading.

program has passed the
Assembly Revenue and
Taxation Committee, on a
strict party line vote, but the
$2 billion a year plan faces
stiff opposition from house

In its amended form, the
program would eliminate all
property taxes on homes
worth $16,000 or less, double
state income taxes during the
next two years and leave
nobody earning more than
$30,000 exempt from taxes. It
would also raise sales tax by
1 percent to pay for $1.27
billion in property tax relief,
a further $800 million in
renter income tax credits and
increased state support for
welfare and local school
programs.

Lassen County Sheriff
Dean Growdon joined nearly
2,000 law enforcement
officers in the 2015 Police
Unity Tour — a several
hundred mile bike ride that
ended with a candle light
vigil in Washington D.C. to
honor those killed in the line
of duty last year.
In an email, Growdon said,
“It was a great experience
representing the Lassen
County law enforcement
community and citizens in
such a special event.
“I am more proud than ever
of the difficult job our men
and women do, despite the
dangers they face and the
personal sacrifices they make
to be in this profession.”
northern counties have
joined SOJ when in fact only
six have joined.
The mistruths go on and
on. Marshall Leve covered
some of the mistruths they
have made about the
supposed amount of money
Lassen County would have.
Lassen County receives more
than $400 million from the
state of California; $296
million for the prisons
including 2,400 jobs, up to
$50 million for Cal Fire in
bad years, $17 million for
Caltrans, $35 million for the
school, money for human
resources, welfare, food
stamps, general aid, medical,
etc. The big majority of this
money comes from the state
of California, so I defy
anyone to say the state of
California does not do
anything for Lassen County.
Joe Turner mentioned at
the SOJ town hall that we,
the opposers to SOJ, are
telling people the SOJ won’t
have schools. Joe commented
he has no idea where we are
getting this idea and it is a
lie. Well, Joe needs to find
out what his own people are
telling everyone, because
this came straight from the
people at the gun shop and
from the people at the fair.
You had better find out what
your people are saying, or is
this another one of those
things they have changed
their mind on? They have
changed their minds several
times on what they are
supposed to be doing. Now it
is going to the Supreme
Court.
SOJ says Lassen County is
locked into SOJ and cannot
get out because three
supervisors voted for it, and
it doesn’t matter what the
people of Lassen County
want, the decision is made
and is final, another
mistruth. Now they say the
board of supervisors voted
to join the lawsuit going to
the Supreme Court. I am
unaware of any such vote
made by the board of
supervisors. The vote on
measure G is whether
Lassen County will join state
of Jefferson. More magical
mirrors and slight of hand
on the part of SOJ.
Think about the losses we
would incur both monetarily
and jobs if we were to join a
new undeveloped state just
because a few people want to
become cowboys and move
backwards to the days of the
old west. I happen to like our
modern day society and
don’t want to go back to
seeing people carrying guns
into Walmart. Safeway or
anyplace else without
clearance from the sheriff ’s
department to make sure
they are stable enough to
carry a concealed weapon.
Vote No on Measure G,

schools. If Jefferson should
become a state, there will be
elections seating a governor
and elected officials who will
make those decisions. It is
reasonable to believe that
some of the organizers are
politically motivated and
remotely could be involved
in determining the future of
a Jefferson State. The main
presenter at the May l
Susanville meeting spent a
lot of time making reference
to points of law implying
that Jefferson cannot be
stopped. He threatened they
would sue all the way to the
Supreme Court if necessary.
He implied that Lassen
County was committed to
support Jefferson and that a
no vote on Measure G meant
nothing. In my opinion, the
presenter overreached in his
claim as Measure G allows
the people to have their say
in a democratic government.
As a Lassen County voter,
your vote will count.

highlight lack of
representation, state is too
big to govern, high taxes,

of their list if they are

7.0 Evaluation Factors for Award.

other factors such as the qualifications and prior experience of the bidder in performing similar services on comparable projects.
• The Tribe may reject any or all bids, and waive informalities or minor irregularities in bids
received.
• The Tribe may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded

significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the
lowest overall cost to the Tribe even though it may be the low evaluated bid, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an advance payment.

The graduating class of 2016 toasted with sparkling apple cider
at the prom crowning. Pictured are Kristyn Baker and Mathew
Idzinski.
One of the most common violations we see when performing
Defensible Space Inspections is the accumulation of pine
needles on or around a home.
Plants are the primary fuel during wildfires, and both living and
dead plant material will burn. Lightweight fuels ignite easily
and burn rapidly. These lightweight fuels facilitate the spread of
an advancing fire and carry the fire to heavier fuels, such as
shrubs, trees or even houses.
Small, needle-like leaves, like those on pines and cedars, are
an excellent example of the lightweight fuels that help wildfire
spread. When pine needles drop from a tree, they get caught
in shrubs below and thereby increase the flammability of those
shrubs as the needles accumulate.
Pine needles that fall on roofs and gutters and accumulate
under decks increase your home’s risk during a wildfire.
Removing pine needles from these areas greatly increases the
chance of your home surviving.
Please help in the fight to protect your home. Maintain your
roof free of leaves, needles and dead vegetation. Remove
needles and leaves from beneath your deck. Rake leaves and
needles away from the side of your home for at least 30 feet.
Remove dead and dying woody surface fuels and limb up trees
to reduce ladder fuels

of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60
days from the date of mailing or personal

Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with
an attorney knowledgeable in California
law.

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 Petition For Probate has been filed by:
Brian D. Bauman in the Superior Court of
California, County of Lassen.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests

estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent’s

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 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: June 14, 2016, at
10:00 a.m., at the Superior Court of
California, County of Lassen, Dept. 2C,

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 a 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 the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal
representative, as defined in section 58(b)
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60
days from the date of mailing or personal
delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with
an attorney knowledgeable in California
law.
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 court clerk.
Petitioner: Brian D. Bauman, 3620 F

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 this
property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the
right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the
opening bid may be less than the total debt
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

and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE
ADOPTED ON MAY 10, 2016 BY
THE LASSEN COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS
Ordinance No. 2016-004 was adopted by
the Lassen County Board of Supervisors
on May 10, 2016, amending existing
sections of Title 9.50 Smoking of the

language expanding the definition of
smoking to include smoke produced by the
combustion of tobacco, fluids, or any other
weed or plant by any means including, but
not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and

All other amendments to Title 9.50 are
minor in nature.

Lassen Grizzly Claybreakers can’t stay off podium
Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
On Saturday, May 7, nine
schools and 180 shooters
showed up in Auburn for the
100-target event.
The Grizzlies came
through again with Colten
Imhoff winning first with a
95 score. Second place went
to Blake Leonard of the Del
Oro Sportsmens Club with a
93. Then it got exciting with
a four-way tie for third place
at 92.
The interesting part was
three of the four shooters
were from the Grizzly
Claybreakers. Wyatt
Bollinger, Noah Jones, Justin
Giusti and Jared Evers of
Granite Bay had to shoot an
additional 25 targets to
determine who earned the
bronze medal.
When the dust settled,
Justin Giusti shot a perfect
25 to win the shoot off
outright. Granite Bay was
fourth with 23, Noah Jones
was fifth with 22 and Wyatt
Bollinger, sixth with a 21.
In the High Five team
awards, the Grizzlies totaled
457 out of 500, once their
highest team total of the
season to date. They were
Colten Imhoff, 95, Justin
Giusti, Noah Jones and
Wyatt Bollinger, 92 each and
Gunnar Sherman with an 86.
The Grizzlies reclaimed
their lead over Mariposa,
who came in second with a
score of 429.
Also shooting for the
Claybreakers, were
Freshmen Wyatt Spalding
who shot an 85 and Cole
Taylor shot an 81. Aiden
Phillips and Derek Beckman
each shot an 80.
“I’m beyond proud of this
team they just continue to
keep getting better,” said
head coach Phil Giusti.

Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
Twin sisters Brianna and
Brenna Mendonca of Lassen
High School will be 2016
graduates and are deciding
to continue their education
and soccer careers and
Lassen Community College.
On Thursday, May 12 the
Mendonca sisters committed
to Lassen Community
College.
The Mendonca sisters were
two sport athletes at Lassen
High School, competing in
both soccer and track and
field. On the soccer team
both girls were regarded as
leaders.
“Brianna and Brenna were
two of our three captains,
both were four-year players.
Both girls were All-League.
Brenna was voted by her
team as most valuable player
and Bri was voted as most
valuable offense. Both girls
could play anywhere on the
field and were huge assets to
the team,” said Lassen High
School soccer head coach
Rebecca Compton.
Brenna finished her senior
soccer season starting 19 out
of 20 games, only missing
one due to injury. She
comprised four goals, eight
assists, 57 steals and one
game-winning goal. Brianna
finished her senior soccer
season starting all 20 games.
She scored 14 goals, had two
assists, 63 steals and three
game winning goals.
“I’m excited to have both
sisters joining our program
it’s always nice to have local
players, who want to stay and
play locally, can’t wait to see
what the season holds for
us,” said LCC head soccer
coach George Kee.

Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
The Lassen High School
softball team has won their
last 12 games in a row with
one game left against
Anderson. The Lady
Grizzlies played a
doubleheader on Tuesday,
May 3. At home, Lassen
swept Corning beating the
Cardinals 10-3 in the first
match and 12-2 in the second.
Then the Lady Grizzlies went
to Corning on Monday, May 9
for one more match, where
the Lady Grizzlies again got
the upper hand and won with
a shutout 15-0. The ensuing
day, Lassen hosted the
Anderson Cubs in another
doubleheader and swept
them with a shutout 16-0 in
the first game and 13-3 the
second.
The Lady Grizzlies started
the first game against
Corning, scoring a flurry of
runs, putting five on the
board in their first at bat.
Lassen followed it up in the
second inning with four
more runs and a single run
in the third, jumping out to a
10-0 lead by the end of third
inning. Corning finally
scored a single run to keep
from getting shut out in the
top of the fourth. Coring was
held to one run in the fifth
and one run in the seventh
before the game ended in
favor of Lassen.
Carli Lewis started on the
mound for Lassen, pitching
just two innings. She struck
out five of seven batters and
allowed one hit. Callie
Wemple finished the game,
striking out three of 23
batters faced and allowed
four hits with two earned
runs.

game 3-for-4 with three runs
scored. Christina Torres was
2-for-2 with two runs scored.
Ava Steele finished 2-for-4
with two triples, four RBIs
and two runs scored. Mia
Torres was 1-for-2 with an
RBI triple and two runs
scored.
In the second game,
Corning was unable to have
much more success than in
the previous game. Corning
did get on the board first
with a single run, but Lassen
topped that in the bottom of
the inning with four runs
scored. The Cardinals scored
one more run in the top of
the third, but were held for
the remainder of the game,
while the Lady Grizzlies
added three in the bottom of
the fourth and five in the
bottom of the fifth. Lassen
easily dismantled the
Cardinals for the sweep
before heading to Corning.

their first at bat, but had
their best inning in the
second when they rallied for
nine runs. Lassen scored
another three in the fourth
and one in the fifth, ending
the game in five innings.
Lewis was once again the
starter and pitched all five

hosted Anderson in a two
game series. In the first game

they complied 12 runs in
their first at bat, a few runs
with the help of some
Anderson errors. After that
the Lady Grizzlies took it
easy and scored only two in
the second and two in the
fourth, quickly putting away
Anderson.
Lewis started for the Lady
Grizzlies and pitched two
innings. She faced six batters
and struck out four. Hayley

pitching the last three
innings. Mullen struck out
three of 11 batters faced, and
allowed two hits.

with two doubles, three runs

and defense. Lassen scored
the first runs with two in the
bottom of the first. Anderson
tied it back up in the second
with two runs and took a
one-point lead in the top of
the third with one run.
Although Lassen didn’t take
long to take back the lead
with two scored in the
bottom of the inning.
After the third, Lassen
upped the pressure and kept
the Cubs scoreless for the
remainder of the game,
while Lassen scored nine
more runs.

three innings, where she

Grizzly baseball mauls Orland Trojans in playoffs
Joshua McEachern
Sports Writer
The Lassen High School
varsity baseball team
finished its regular season
and is once again at the top
of the Northern League
standings, in second place.
The Grizzlies hosted the
Yreka Miners on Tuesday,
April 19 at Memorial Park.
Lassen won 4-2 before
heading to Yreka to play at
Hibbard Field. The Grizzlies
shut out the Miners with a 40 victory.
Then on Tuesday, April 26
the Grizzlies traveled over to
Shasta Lake to take on
Central Valley. The game
went into extra innings, but
the Grizzlies were topped 1211. Following the defeat the
Grizzlies hosted Central
Valley at home on Friday,
April 29 and made a
statement by shutting them
out 10-0. Finally on Tuesday,
May 3 the Grizzlies hosted
number one West Valley and
in extra innings pulled out
the win and tied for first in
the Northern League. On
Thursday, May 5, Lassen
headed to West Valley, the
winner determining first
place in the Northern
League. It was a close game,
but Lassen came up short by
a run 8-7. After a
disappointing loss to West
Valley, the Grizzlies went
into the playoffs against the
Orland Trojans and won 12-7,
to move to the second round
of playoffs.
In the first game against
Yreka the Miners got on the
board first with one run. But
it didn’t take long for the
Grizzlies to put some of their
own runs on the board,
scoring two runs in the
bottom of the third and
fourth inning. Lassen
stopped scoring after the
fourth inning and kept Yreka
scoreless until the seventh.
The Miners scored, but
Lassen held them to just one
run on the seventh and went
on to win it.
Tommy Sharpe pitched all
seven for the Grizzlies and
faced 34 batters. During his
time on the mound Sharpe
struck out one, walked two,
allowed eight hits and one
earned run.
Izak Davenport was 1-for-2
with a run scored. Sharpe
finished 1-for-3 and Carson
Chavez was 1-for-3 with one
run scored and one RBI.
The Grizzlies second game
against Yreka went even
better despite being away.
Lassen picked up a single
run in the top of the second
and fourth inning to give
them a 2-0 lead. Then in the
sixth, the Grizzlies added two
more runs to their lead and
held Yreka to zero for the
win.
Davenport took the mound
for the Grizzlies and pitched
the complete game. He faced
27 batters, striking out five,
with three hits and no runs.
Davenport also finished the
game 2-for-2 with a double
and two runs scored. Dalton
Sisson was 1-for-2 with an
RBI. Jacob Bennett was 1-for3 with a double and two runs
scored. Bryce Giacomelli
finished 2-for-4.
The game against Central
Valley was a tough one. The
Falcons commanded the lead
in the early innings, scoring
eight runs in the first three
innings. The Grizzlies took
control in the later innings
and scored their first two
runs in the top of the fourth
inning.
In the bottom of the fourth
the Falcons scored two more
runs and were up 10-2. But
Lassen was able to buckle
down and scored eight runs
over the fifth, sixth and
seventh innings to tie the
game at 10. The Grizzlies
even came out in the top of
extra inning to score a single
run, putting them up 11-10.
Although Lassen had scored,
the Falcons were able to
drive in two runs in the
bottom of the inning to edge
Lassen 12-11.
Sharpe started on the
mound, but only pitched one
innings. He struck out two,
while allowing three hits and
two earned runs. Bennett
took over for Sharpe and
went three innings. Bennett
faced 22 batters, striking out
three and allowed nine hits
with six earned runs. Chavez
closed for Lassen and faced
17 batters. He struck out four,
allowed three hits and no
earned runs.

game going 3-for-3, with an
RBI double and three runs
scored. Hunter St. Andre
went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Bennett finished 1-for-2 with
three RBIs. Cole Dyer was 1for-1 with and RBI and a run
scored. Davenport was 1-for-4
with a run scored and an
RBI.
Back at home the Grizzlies
hosted the second game
against the Falcons and beat
them in a shutout. Both
teams were scoreless in the
first, but Lassen came alive
in the second and scored
three runs. Lassen went on to
score runs in the third,
fourth, and fifth innings.
Lassen had scored 10 runs by
the bottom of the fifth and
put the game away without a
run scored against them.
This Week May 20-22, 2016
Davenport started for
Lassen and pitched all five
innings, where he struck out
three of the 18 batters faced.
He allowed only two hits and
no earned runs.
Chavez finished the game
2-for-3 with a double and a
homerun with two runs
scored. St. Andre was 2-for-3
with a run scored. Clayton
Williams was 2-for-3 with a
run scored and an RBI.
Giacomelli was 1-for-3 with
an RBI double and a run
scored.
Next, the Grizzlies hosted
first place West Valley who
had previously lost two
games before. The Grizzlies
were looking for the win and
a chance to win the Northern
League for a fifth time in the
last six years. The first three
innings were slow with
neither team scoring a run,
but West Valley got on the
board first with two runs
scored in the top of the
fourth. Then both the fifth
and sixth inning went by
without a run and West
Valley in the top of the
seventh added one more run.
However, Lassen put some
runs on the board in the
bottom of the inning to tie
the game 3-3. In the ninth
inning the game was still
tied as both teams picked up
a single run. Although the
Grizzlies were able to snatch
the win in the bottom of the
tenth and beat the Eagles 5-4
and tied for first in the NAL.
Sharpe started on the
mound for one inning before
being relieved by Davenport
who pitched five innings.
Davenport struck out five,
gave up five hits and two
earned runs. Bennett
relieved Davenport and
pitched four innings, striking
out two, giving up five hits
and one earned run.
Sharpe finished the game
2-for-4 with a run scored and
an RBI. Chavez was 1-for-3
with a run scored.
Giacomelli was 1-for-5 with
two RBIs.
The Grizzlies then traveled
to West Valley for the show
down that would determine
the Northern League champ.
The Eagles took a
commanding lead early in
the game, wasting no time in
the first and scoring four
runs. The Grizzlies were also
able to get on the board with
a single run scored. However,
West Valley scored a pair in
the second and third inning
to take a 6-1 lead. The
Grizzlies were not ready to
roll over and in the top of the
fifth put together a big
inning and started a six run

rally. The Grizzlies were up 76, but the Eagles made it
short lived and scored two
runs in the bottom of the
inning to go up by one. The
sixth and seventh inning
went by with neither team
able to score a run and West
Valley squeaked by with the
win and first place in the
NAL.
“Last years team had eight
seniors and all eight of those
seniors played almost every
inning. This year’s team is
very young; we have one
freshman, two sophomores,
six juniors and five seniors.
This team being so young is
learning everyday. We are
hoping as a team, that we can
come together and go deep
into the playoffs and
potentially back to the
Section Championship
game,” said head coach Scott
Foreman.
Lassen hosted the Orland
Trojans for their first playoff
game. The Grizzlies have
been to the Section
Championship the last two
years in a row and look to
continue to do so. Lassen got
started right off the bat
when they knocked in five
runs in the first inning, some
with the help of the Trojans
making a few errors. But
Orland wasn’t going to go
down without a fight and
scored four runs in the top of
the second inning, also with
the help of a few errors
committed by the Grizzlies.
In the bottom of the second,
Lassen answered right back
and rallied for five more runs
to put them up 10-4. In the
top of the fifth, Orland was
able to drive in three runs,
trying to close the gap on
Lassen’s lead. However, the
Grizzlies added two more
scores in the fifth and sixth
inning to win the game 12-7.
Davenport pitched for six
innings for the Grizzlies and
faced 30 batters. He struck
out five, allowed 10 hits, and
six earned runs. Bennett
came in and pitched the final
inning, where he struck out
one of four batters. He
allowed two walk and no
earned runs or hits.
Davenport was 2-for-3
against Orland, with an RBI
double and two runs scored.
Chavez, St. Andre and
Sharpe all went 2-for-4.
Chavez and St. Andre both
had an RBI double and a run
scored and Sharpe finished
with two runs scored.
The Grizzlies will look for
their second playoffs win
when they travel south to
take on the Gridley Bulldogs
on Friday, May 13.

Triple Threat teams take on stiff competition in Rocklin
On Saturday, May 7
through Sunday, May 8,
Triple Threat Basketball took
10 teams to compete in the
Mother’s Day Full Court
Press at the Hardwood Palace
in Rocklin. There were more
than 115 teams from all over
the Sacramento and the Bay
Area.
Triple Threat faced some
elevated competition in this
tournament.
All teams met the
challenge. It is good at times
to get outside of your
comfort zone and see how
you measure up at the bigger
tournaments.
Triple Threat brought
home two first places, onesecond place, and one-third
place finish.
We really appreciate all of
the Triple Threat Moms that
were willing to sacrifice their
Mother’s Day weekend and
spend it in the gym.
