Supervisors discuss Jefferson resolution

committee
The Lassen County
Board of
Supervisors
discussed creating a
committee to look
into the matter.
See page 1B
With the voters of Lassen
County deciding they were
not interested in splitting
from the state of California
to form a new state of
Jefferson, the resolution
passed by the board of
supervisors in 2015
essentially self-destructed,
according to chairman of the
board Jim Chapman.
During the Tuesday, June
28 Lassen County Board of
Supervisors meeting, the
board posed a question of
potentially rescinding the
declaration and petition
approved by the board in a 3to-2 vote in March 2015,
which was under the
condition it was approved by
the voters during the June 7
Presidential Primary
Presidential Election.
According to the Summary
Election Results from the
Lassen County Clerks office,
Measure G, which asked
voters if they’d like to leave
California, failed with 3,964
votes against and 3,094 for it.
“The resolution was
conditional upon submitting
it to the voters at the June
primary this year. It was, and
the voters rejected it,” said
Jim Chapman, noting there
was a “poison pill” in the
resolution, which killed the
resolution since the voters
were not in favor of it.
“I thought people made the
decision, and I respect that,”
said supervisor Bob Pyle,
wondering why the matter
was on the agenda again.
“As far as I’m concerned,
it’s dead in the county,” said
Chapman.
However, the chairman did
note the election results
should be sent to the State
Assembly and Senate.
During public comment,
and during the agenda item,
audience members spoke
about the topic.
Some Jefferson supporters
continued to ask to the board
for its support during the
upcoming litigation the prosecede side is putting
together, challenging the
Reynolds v. Sims case.
Jefferson supporter
Barbara Keeling, of
Janesville, said if the county
pulled the declaration, it
would not have a seat at the
table when Jefferson is
formed. She added, with the
3,000 people who voted in
favor of the measure, the
county was still involved
with the push to separate.
“We understand that the
vote was no, but now it’s up
to you guys whether or not
you want to go and be at the
table,” said Keeling. “Lassen
County voted it down in
June, it’s not going to change
anything. We cannot dictate,
to the other counties,
whether or not they can have

Blood
drive seeks
donors
Renee Hopson, Susanville
blood drive coordinator,
would like to remind
residents of Lassen County
of the upcoming blood drive.
The local drive is
scheduled from noon to 6
p.m. Tuesday, July 12 and
from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, July 13 at the
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints located at
905 Richmond Road,
Susanville.
Held every three months,
the Susanville Community
Blood Drive helps maintain
the local blood supply of
Northern California and
Nevada.
Uncertain about donating?
Here are some facts provided
by the United Blood Services
to consider:
• One donation can save
three lives.
• Every two seconds,
someone needs blood.
• One out of seven hospital
patients require blood
transfusions.
• 38 percent of the
population is eligible to
donate, but only 5 percent
does.
Blood donors must be
healthy, weigh at least 110
pounds and be at least 17
years old. Donors who are 16
will be allowed with a signed
permission form.
Recommendations include
eating a healthy iron-rich
meal before donating and
drinking plenty of fluids
before and after your
donation.

Chapman said it was fine
for Keeling to participate in
Jefferson, but said she was
not a representative of the
county.
Joseph Turner, another
pro-Jefferson supporter,
noted how rescinding the
declaration would only
strengthen its case.
Several people spoke
during the public comment
portion of the meeting

participating in state of

Ceremony honors Robert McElrath
In celebration of Waldo’s
29th birthday, the annual
search for the man in the
striped shirt and hat began
July 1. Hosted by Margie’s
Book Nook, this community
event draws attention to the
creation of the fictional
character.
Participants are issued a
passport from Margie’s and
then begin the quest to find
Waldo at 28 locations
throughout Susanville.
Passports are validated
with a stamp or signature for
spotting him at each location.
A collection of 10 of these
earns an “I Found Waldo”
sticker and a $1 off coupon
for Margie’s. Anyone who
has found 20 Waldos, receives
a button, a coupon and is
entered into a drawing held
at the final activity for this
event.
Local authors of all ages
can submit Waldo stories of
any length, with or without
illustrations, and one lucky
winner will be selected to
receive a prize.
The search will end with a

Dedicated to honoring the
memory of a past veteran,
law enforcement officer and
community member, a local
member of the United States
Air Force ensured Rob
McElrath’s memory would
continue on.
During a Saturday, June 25
ceremony at the Veterans
Memorial Hall, Justin
Bermander, of the United
States Air Force, presented
three flags with significant
meaning to the Susanville
Police Department and
McElrath’s family.
“It means a lot for me to do
this,” said Bermander, who
added his service has helped
him appreciate the sacrifice
of others that much more.
“We’re going to let Rob’s
memory live on.”

spoke about his life and
character.
His sister, Jennifer
McElrath-Head shared some
stories about him from people
who knew McElrath, and
asked them to say one word
that described the former
Susanville police officer.
Some of the spoke words
included role model, selfless,
steadfast, brother, kind,
caring, love, genuine and
more.

New priest at Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Father Arbel Cabasagan,
the newly appointed priest
at Sacred Heart Catholic
Church in Susanville, was
born in the Philippines.
He earned a bachelor’s
degree in electronics and
communications
engineering in 1987 at Cebu
University, Philippines.
He also earned a master’s
degree in management at
San Jose State
University.
He enrolled in Saint
Patrick’s Seminary and
University in Menlo Park,
California where he earned
a master’s degree in divinity
in 2007.
After completing his
graduate studies, he enjoyed
a successful career, working
at Timex Corp. as a senior
product development
engineer. He worked at
Timex for 18 years.
Arbel listened and was
inspired to become a priest
by Saint John Paul II who
challenges young Filipino
Catholics to become
missionaries to the world at
the 1995 World Youth Day in
Manila, Philippines.
He was assigned parochial
vicar at St. Joseph Parish in
Sacramento in 2008, at Saint
John the Baptist Church in
Folsom in 2009 and pastor of
Our Lady of Lourdes in
Colusa in 2010.
To be an ordained priest is
“an awesome responsibility.”
“It is a God-given divine
gift to make present the
great mystery of redemption
and salvation and a great
responsibility to be part of
the sanctification of the
living community. As priests
we mirror the mind and
heart of Christ, which
requires a serious life and
prayer,” Arbel said.
He was ordained into the
priesthood Oct. 26, 2007 at
the Cathedral of the Blessed
Sacrament in
Sacramento, California.
As of July 1, all burning
permits issued to residents
of Susanville have been
suspended until Nov. 1.
Dan Weaver, Susanville
Fire Department battalion
chief, also wants to remind
residents that, in addition to
the ban on burning, weed
abatement should have been
completed by Monday, June
27.
Chapter 8 (8.28.030) of the
Susanville Municipal Code
states: It is unlawful for the
owner, agent, lessee or other
person having charge or
control of any piece or
parcel of land within the city
to allow weeds or rubbish to
grow or to remain thereon,
or upon the street or
sidewalk in front of such
piece or parcel of land.
“We are proud of our
community, and the weeds
need to be eliminated,”
Weaver said.
The fire department will
be issuing citations to
residents who have not
complied with this
ordinance.

the Susanville Fire
Department at 257-5152.

Police help neighborhoods reduce crime
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
The Susanville Police
Department is looking to
help local neighborhoods
decrease crime rates.
With some very successful
local neighborhood watch
groups, like the Depot 6, the
department is offering to
help guide other
neighborhoods and the
residing citizens should they
want to start up a program.
On Thursday, June 23, the
local police department
hosted an event open to
residents informing them on
how to start up a
neighborhood watch
program.
“Neighborhood Watch is
one of the most effective
community watch tools,”
said interim police chief Jim
Uptegrove. “Criminals don’t
like people watching.”
During the meeting,
attendees were supplied with
a packet, which included
information on how to start
up a watch program.
School resource officer
Terra Avilla shared the
packet she put together,
which included crime
prevention and safety tips,
resource information and
signage resources.
She added the
community’s knowledge is
key in helping the
department in the
neighborhood.
“It’s your neighborhood,
you have a vested interest in
keeping it safe,” she said.
Included in the packet was
a letter from Uptegrove to
interested parties.

program is a crime
prevention program that

About a year ago, she said
she, her daughter and
granddaughter experienced
someone potentially entering
their residence early in the
morning.
“After that day, I was so
scared,” said Choo, who saw
it as an opportunity to take
action.
So she went door to door,
and the group formed.
“Lo and behold, we have
taken that neighborhood
back,” she added.
Some tools they use
include a private Facebook

Peace and Dignity runners pass through Susanville
Ashley Arey
Staff Writer
On Tuesday, June 28,
runners participating in the
Peace and Dignity Journey
set out from Redding,
California at 7 a.m. and
arrived in Susanville at
approximately 6:30 p.m.
Some of these runners have
been running since
Chickaloon, Alaska.
According to local Audie
Noneo, the Peace and
Dignity Journey is a
spiritual run that embodies
the prophecy of the eagle
and the condor.
Runners begin on opposite
ends of the continents, in
Chickaloon, Alaska and
Argentina, and run to
Panama. It’s a spiritual
prayer run meant to unite
the indigenous people in the
Western Hemisphere. The
run is six months long and
runners pass through
hundreds of indigenous
communities.
Noneo said through the
journeys, participants help
each other reconnect to
their respective spiritual
practices and help them
relearn their role in the
world.
Andres Mendoza of Azusa,
California, started the run
in Alaska and will be
continuing the whole way to
Panama.
“The run was started in
1992 by around 200 nations,”
said Mendoza.
Mendoza said it was
started by a couple of people
in Chicago who had a dream
of uniting people through
running.
“When they approached
the elders about the dream,
the elders knew they were
coming,” said Mendoza. “It
was the prophecy of the
eagle and the condor.”
Mendoza explained that
the prophecy mandates that
all indigenous people in the
Western Hemisphere would
be reunited in a spiritual
way to heal the nations in

• JANESVILLE AREA RESIDENTS •
order to work toward a
better future.
Mendoza said that each
year the run focuses on a
different underlying prayer.
This year was the prayer for
seeds.
Mendoza explained that
plants are being genetically
altered to be more resistant
to pesticides.
“We don’t know how this
will affect our children and

future generations,” said
Mendoza.
Mendoza said that seeds
are not just physical, and we
plant seeds whenever we go
out into the world.
“We have to be mindful of
the seeds we plant in our
children,” Mendoza said.
“They are the future.”
Locals from Lassen
County drove to Redding the
day before to run with the
runners towards Susanville.
Once they arrived, they
walked together to the
Susanville Indian Rancheria
where they met in the sports
center for prayer and food.
Those who were
continuing the run stayed at
the Diamond Mountain
Casino and headed off in the
morning toward
Reno, Nevada.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Get the
LATEST
on lassennews.com
The average household contains 3-10 gals of hazardous
materials of which 20% usually will go down the drain. For our
community that means between 2,300 and 7,700 gals of hazardous
materials will be disposed through the sewer.
These hazardous materials would include: fuels, antifreeze,
oil, oven cleaners, solvents, herbicides, pesticides, paint and paint
thinners, drain openers, finger nail polish removers.
The disposal of these items into the sewer causes pipe
corrosion, explosions, inhibits wastewater treatment and can
cause injury to our workers.
The proper disposal of household hazardous materials is
important to you, your wastewater utility and the environment.
Thank you

Pups on Parole celebrates another great year
Lynne Sella
Staff Writer
For the ninth consecutive
year, the Lassen Humane
Society has partnered with
the California Correctional
Center to continue Pups on
Parole.
Founded by Mary Morphis
from the Humane Society,
with the help of Bill Merkle,
retired warden, this program
has found forever homes for
more than 430 dogs.
This program pairs a dog
from the animal shelter with
one or two inmates assigned
to the CCC Firehouse to
work on socializing, training
and companionship.
According to Vicky Reisel,
local Humane Society board
member, only certain dogs
are selected for this
program.
“Dogs that are not likely to
go to a rescue, are goodnatured or may be
euthanized are good
candidates for our program,”
Reinsel said. “It’s important
for people to know that we
can’t just take any dog. It
has to come from the
shelter.”
Dogs that are selected
receive an immediate rabies
shot and are spayed or
neutered within a week.
When adopted, the dog is
microchipped, checked for
heartworm and given kennel
cough and five-way
vaccinations.
The dogs are trained to sit,
stay, heel, not to jump on
people and to play well with
others. Inmate handlers
learn how to train these dogs
from other experienced
handlers as well as by
reading books and watching
videos.
The handlers agreed that
the primary mission of this
program is to socialize the
dogs and make them
acceptable for adoption.
While the most difficult part
is letting the dogs go, (it’s
like losing a friend), it is also
the most rewarding.
“It’s a great program,”
Garth Renaud said. This
celebration marks the end of
Renaud’s participation as
the program coordinator as
he is retiring.
For more information
about this program or to find
out how you can help, please
contact the Lassen Humane
Society at 257-4555.

Local student receives
Rotary District 5190
Scholarship
Lynne Sella
Staff Writer
Megan McLarty was one of
nine recipients of the 2016
Rotary District 5190
Scholarship. After traveling
to Reno, Nevada for an
interview, she was notified
June 13 that she had been
awarded a scholarship.
A 2013 high school
graduate of Mt. Lassen
Charter School, McLarty has
attended Lassen Community
College for the past four and
a half years, officially
enrolling in the fall of 2011.
During that time she
earned associate degrees in
natural science, allied health
and social science at the age
of 16 and in mathematics
and physical science, biology
and biological sciences the
following year.
Transferring to the
University of Nevada, Reno
this fall, McLarty will
continue her studies toward
bachelor of science degrees
in applied mathematics as
well as biochemistry and
molecular biology. Her future
plans include attending
medical school, where she
plans to specialize in
cardiology.
In addition to earning her
degrees, McLarty plans to
continue her study of dance.
She describes herself as
growing up in the art, having
enrolled in ballet classes at
Joan’s Studio of Dance at the
age of 9.
“The floor is the canvas,
and I am the paintbrush,”
McLarty confided about her
dancing. “And it helps me
relax after studying.”
McLarty has performed in
annual recitals as well as
performances with the
Susanville Symphony and
Susanville Choral Society.
She has also performed in
the Reno Dance Company’s
“The Nutcracker” for three
consecutive years.

concluded that one word was
simply not enough to describe
her brother.
Additionally, Darryl
Bermender, McElrath’s field
training officer, also
remembered the time he spent
with him.
He said when McElrath was
just joining the department he
already had a very strong
work ethic and knowledge of
the community and its people.
Darryl Bermender also
commented on McElrath’s
dedication to serving the
community and his team.
“He touched the lives of so
many people,” he said. “Rob’s
memory will continue to live
in this community.”
Moreover, Susanville Police
Department Chaplain, Pastor
Bruce Ingle, spoke during the
ceremony.
“Rob was a man of great
love, great commitment and
great faith,” said Engle. “Rob
set a great example of
compassion and care for
others to emulate.”
The flags, which were given
to McElrath’s parents, and the
SPD, were flown in B1-B
bomber planes over Syria and
Iraq during times of conflict.

With the potential for
upcoming state measures for
marijuana use, the board of
supervisors opted to form an
ad hoc committee to delve
into the topic.
28 Lassen County Board of
Supervisors meeting, Aaron
Albaugh and Jeff Hemphill
were selected to form an ad
hoc committee to study and
make recommendations to
the board on how to comply
with Assembly Bill 243,
Senate Bill 643 and
Assembly Bill 266 on
marijuana cultivation.
“We, I believe, have to have
made some choices prior to
the date (when the bills will
be essentially enacted) …
about what we foresee
Lassen County’s long-term
role in marijuana
cultivation, medical or
otherwise,” said county
counsel Bob Burns.
In a letter to the board,
Burns wrote, “Because these
bills leave some degree of
local control in tact,
individual counties are
beginning to have to make
some choices about what
level of marijuana activity
they are prepared to accept.
These are policy statements
which vary from community
to community, many times
from person to person.
Implementation at the state
level of most of the
significant provisions of
these three bills won’t occur
until January 1, 2018.
However, any local control
sought to be retained, must
be in place before then. I
recommend we begin now.”
Medical marijuana grower
Dennis Hines attended the
meeting, and shared his
belief that the committee
should be comprised of
more than just supervisors
and should include a variety
of people, including those
who use marijuana for
medical purposes.
“I think Hines makes a
valid point,” said board
chairman Jim Chapman.
Burns added he hoped any
committee would be sure to
take a balanced approach to
looking at the issue.
Moreover, Secretary of
State Alex Padilla
announced in a statement
that the initiative for
marijuana legalization
received the 365,880 valid
petition signatures needed to
become eligible for
placement on the November
ballot.

Simple advice for a healthier lifestyle
As pointed out in the past,
despite everything we know
and has been said about the
health benefits of exercise, a
recent study shows us that 43
percent of employed adults do
not exercise nearly as often as
they should. At the same
time, a new joint study from
researchers from the
University of Sao Paulo and
Tufts University in Boston
reminds us that over half of
what Americans eat (nearly
60 percent) is considered
“junk food.”
These behaviors continue
to persist in this country
despite constant warnings
that being sedentary and
eating this way is sure to
increase one’s risk for
chronic health conditions like
diabetes, obesity, heart attack,
stroke and cancer.
So what’s standing between
those with the desire to be
healthier and the action
needed to achieve better
health? Could it be, at least in
part, information overload
and the human ability to tune
things out?
Maybe we should back up a
bit and try to simplify the
matter.
As Simin Nikbin Meydani,
director of the Jean Mayer
USDA Human Nutrition
Research Center on Aging at
Tufts University, tells Time
magazine, eating healthier
does not have to be
complicated and done by the
numbers. You don’t have to go
vegan or Paleo.
You can start by simply
making sure that your plate
contains foods of more than
two different colors. If it’s got
green, red and brown, for
example, you could be on
your way to getting the
nutrients you require. We
should also make sure you
consume it and enjoy it with
someone else. “Sharing a
meal with friends and family
impacts our health and how
we age and fare as we get
older,” Meydani reminds us.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
recommends that American
adults do two-and-a-half
hours of moderate-intensity
aerobic activity each week,
plus some muscle
strengthening on the side. If
that seems too much, or
you're loathe to calculate such
things, don't despair. You can
benefit from even a small
amount of added movement
each week and uncomplicated
exercises like walking. Some
will always be better than
none; to start, do that to
which you're comfortable
committing.
A small behavioral change
can also lead to embracing a
wider checklist of healthier
choices. Many experts believe
that each lifestyle change a
person makes supports other
positive steps that can be
added.
Not surprisingly, a recent
study tells us that people who
changed the widest variety of
aspects of their life to be
healthier see bigger
improvements in their mood
and stress levels compared to
people in clinical trials who
changed just one part of their
lifestyle.
What’s also clear is that in
order to achieve the
maximum benefit that the
food we eat can provide we
need to think about what we
actually eat before we eat it;
to start by considering eating
whole foods and trying to
avoid processed ones.
According to Dr. Qi Sun, of
the Harvard School of Public
Health in Boston and the
senior author of a recent
study of the effects of whole
grain foods in diet, eating a
diet rich in whole grains
would reduce a person's risk
of dying early.
The study found that eating
three servings of whole
grains a day was associated
with a 25 percent lower risk
of death from heart disease,
and a 14 percent lower risk of
death from cancer, compared
with eating one serving or
less of whole grains daily.
In fairness, it’s not like
people are not concerned
about what they eat.
According to government
research, about 77 percent of
U.S. adults look at labels
when they shop. But if we've
learned anything, it's that
food labeling is not always
our friend. Americans spend
more than $40 billion a year
on foods identified as “all
natural.”
Surveys show that
consumers seek out the “all
natural” label believing the
food was produced without
genetically modified
organisms, hormones,
pesticides and artificial
ingredients.
Not so.
This reality has led to more
than a hundred class action
lawsuits accusing companies
of misleading consumers.
The issue of whether
genetically modified foods
can be labeled natural has
been raised in more than 50
legal cases. Until now, the
Food and Drug
Administration has
“respectfully declined” to
weigh in on the issue.
While the FDA is at last
considering the matter, it has
yet to engage in rulemaking
to establish a formal
definition for the term
“natural” in food packaging.
By law, products must be
checked out by the Food and
Drug Administration before
they can be added to our food.
But since 1958, there has been
a growing list of exemptions
to this law.
Today, it’s hard to know
definitively whether some of
the estimated 10,000 chemical
additives spread throughout
our grocery store food supply
pose a health problem to us.
We consume them in very
small amounts day-to-day and
that, we’re told, poses no
health risks.
At present, neither the
government nor food
manufacturers have taken on
the time or expense of
measuring possible long-term
effects of these additives. It is
a problem not dissimilar to
the one we have with the
pesticides that are sprayed on
the fruits and vegetables we
eat.
We’ve now recently learned
what many experts have long
suspected — heavy use of the
world’s most popular
herbicide, Roundup, could be
linked to a range of health
problems and diseases,
including Parkinson’s,
infertility and cancers,
according to a recent study.
Roundup is by far the most
heavily used herbicide in the
country, and the Food and
Drug Administration has no
idea how much of it ends up
on the food we eat. The FDA
has never bothered to test for
chemical residues on foods
headed to market.
The EPA is now conducting
a standard registration
review of ‘glyphosate,’
Roundup's active ingredient.
In the meantime, I urge you
to exercise at least a bit more
and to eat at least a little bit
healthier. Most importantly,
to travel that extra mile (if
need be) and pay that extra
expense (if you can) to buy
certified organic foods.

Recognition and
changes at authority
Makenzie Davis
News Editor
Some changes and
recognitions took place,
honoring dedicated
employees, and switching
titles on the Lassen Regional
Solid Waste Management
Authority.
28 authority meeting, the
board recognized Paul Payne,
former Landfill manager, for
his time served. He was
presented with a framed
resolution from the board
commending him for his
service to the authority.
Payne is retiring the
position.
According to the
resolution, Payne started
working for the Authority
June 8, 2008, with his
retirement on June 30.
“Paul has a long and
distinguished 35 year career
in solid waste management,
commencing November 1981
as operations manager for
Norcal Waste Systems in
Oroville, California and as
manager of Lassen Waste
Systems in Susanville from
November 1998 through May
2008 and … throughout Paul’s
employment as the landfill
manager, he earned the
respect of his supervisor,
staff, customers and the
Lassen Regional Solid Waste
Management Authority
Board of Directors.”
Moreover, the resolution
read Paul would be
remembered by his fellow
staff at the authority “for his
knowledge, dependability,
resourcefulness, honesty and
outgoing personality as the
landfill manager.”
The board unanimously
approved the resolution and
Authority member Jim
Chapman read it aloud.
Additionally, during the
meeting, the board had to
appoint a new member to fill
the role of president, which
was left vacant by Lino
Callegari, who was not
reelected to the Susanville
City Council.
Chapman was nominated
and appointed to fill the
presidents role, and
authority member Kathie
Garnier was appointed to
vice president, filling
Chapman’s old position.
Callegari’s replacement on
the authority will be arriving
on the board shortly.

Driver cell phone use
rises despite danger
Despite the well-known
dangers of distracted
driving, the number of
California drivers who use
mobile devices while they
drive is on the rise.
In a study conducted by the
California Office of Traffic
Safety in April 2016, at least
12.8 percent of California
drivers were observed using
a mobile device during the
day, up from 9.2 percent in
2015 and eclipsing the
previous high of 10.8 percent
in 2013. Due to the difficulty
of observing mobile device
use in a vehicle, these figures
are considered minimums,
with actual usage likely
several points higher.
"These latest numbers are
discouraging, but not totally
unexpected," said OTS
Director Rhonda Craft. "The
number of smartphones in
the United States has gone
from zero 10 years ago to
more than 200 million today.
They have become so much a
part of our lives that we can't
put them down, even when
we know the danger."
California and many other
states observed National
Distracted Driving
Awareness Month in April.
The California Highway
Patrol and hundreds of other
law enforcement agencies
conducted educational and
enforcement efforts. The
CHP alone organized more
than 300 educational
presentations and issued
13,496 citations for distracted
driving violations. The OTS
conducted a social media
campaign urging drivers to
“Silence the Distraction.”
“Distraction occurs any
time drivers take their eyes
off the road, their hands off
the wheel and their minds off
their primary task of driving
safely," CHP Commissioner
Joe Farrow said. "Any nondriving activity is a potential
distraction and increases the
risk of a collision."
Data from the CHP's
Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System shows that
in 2013, 22,306 people were
involved in collisions in
which distracted driving was
a factor. The number of
distracted driving victims in
California increased slightly
in 2014 to 22,652. From 2013 to
2015, the number of drivers
killed or injured in collisions
in which distracted driving
was a factor increased every
year — from 10,162 in 2013, to
10,548 in 2014 and to 11,090 in
2015. Despite these numbers,
drivers seem less concerned
about the dangers of
distracted driving. The OTS
study found that the
observed usage rates appear
to confirm previous studies
that show more drivers admit
to using mobile devices
sometimes or regularly.
Fewer drivers believe that
talking or texting on a cell
phone is a major safety
problem. Meanwhile, the
percentage of those who say
they have been hit or nearly
hit by a driver using a cell
phone remains steady at
nearly 60 percent.
Other significant findings
in the observational survey
include:
•Though nearly all types of
usage were up, typing and
posting increased by more
than one third.
•The highest observed
electronic device use and the
fastest increase in usage is in
urban areas, at 9.4 percent.
•Electronic device use
during rush hours increased
by 71 percent in 2016.
•The percentage of 16 to 24
year olds talking on handheld cell phones increased
from less than 1 percent
every year since 2012 to more
than 2 percent in 2016.
•Southern California
drivers hold the phone to
their ear at a rate double (3.8
percent) or more that of
Central California drivers
(1.9 percent) and Northern
California drivers (1.4
percent).
“The study results are
disturbing,” Farrow said.
“Every time someone drives
distracted, they are putting
themselves, their passengers
and everyone on or near the
roadway at risk.”

E D I TO R I A L
Let’s put the state
of Jefferson behind
us once and for all
All it takes is a quick trip to the Lassen
County Clerk’s website to see the results of
the Measure G question on the June 7
Primary Election ballot. Measure G, created
by a declaration by the Lassen County
Board of Supervisors March 17, 2015,
essentially asked the voters to decide if
Lassen County should join the state of
Jefferson movement through a simple up or
down advisory vote.
The California Elections Code defines an
advisory vote as “ … an indication of
general voter opinion regarding the ballot
proposal. The results of the advisory vote
will in no manner be controlling on the
sponsoring legislative body.”
In the end, Measure G was defeated. It
gained 3,094 yes votes (43.84 percent) against
3,964 no votes (56.16 percent), according to
the Lassen County Clerk’s website.
Despite that clear vote of the people,
you’d be completely wrong to think the
Lassen County Board
of Supervisors has
DITORIAL
resolved the state of
Jefferson question.
Both the proponents and the opponents
attended the board’s Tuesday, June 28
meeting and the discussion continues
regarding a portion of the board’s
resolution that reads, “Whereas,
alternatively, if an effort in forming a new
state is defeated, the Board of Supervisors
of Lassen County would consider joining a
credible legal challenge to the Reynold’s
case … ”
Given their inability to sway people
across the Northern California to join their
movement, the state of Jefferson
proponents are now pursuing an allegedly
“unstoppable” legal challenge to the
Reynolds v. Sims, a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court
decision that apportioned state legislatures
— including the California Senate — under
the one-man, one-vote rule rather than one
that follows the federal model that elects
legislators based upon geographic
boundaries.
In his majority opinion, Chief Justice
Earl Warren wrote, “Legislators represent
people, not trees or acres. Legislators are
elected by voters, not farms or cities or
economic interests.”
The state of Jefferson proponents argue
such a system hurts rural counties because
their small population numbers allow the
large urban areas to control state decisions.
Ironically, one of the disparities cited for
the Reynolds v. Sims decision was a lack of
representation in, of all places, Los Angeles
County. More than six million people lived
in Los Angeles County in 1964, while one
rural California county had a population of
only 14,000 people. Both counties had one
representative in the state senate.
At last week’s board meeting, proponents
said they would attend a state of Jefferson
Formation Conference held in Live Oak
next month. This small, unelected group of
state of Jefferson proponents should
recognize the people of Lassen County
voted against Jefferson. And they also
should abandon their repeated false
assertion the county has approved a
declaration to join the new state.
Perhaps it is too bitter a pill for the state
of Jefferson supporters to swallow, but just
last month the voters rejected their vision
of the future. The people said no. Elections
have consequences, and the people of
Lassen County have expressed their opinion
and their will regarding the state of
Jefferson question.
It’s time to put this Jefferson thing
behind us and move forward with the real
business of the day.

Sporting a new role in Lassen County
Four years ago, I began my hiatus from
Susanville. I was whisked off to a four-year
university in Oregon where I earned my
degree in mathematics.
A small-town girl living on the edge of
Portland resulted in a whole new definition of
growth. But it could not have happened
without a foundation in Lassen County.
Now I’m back.
Nothing is more addicting than a
wholesome hometown. Throughout my
childhood, Susanville cheered me on during
science fairs and field hockey games. I spent
hours in the library, sold countless boxes of
Girl Scout cookies and watched Blockbuster
come and go. I’ve taught a tolerance
workshop to third graders and floated down
the Susan River.
I may have said my goodbyes once or twice,
but Susanville has always welcomed me back
with open arms. That’s what family does.
My plan is to change the world through

architecture, but first I want to get back to my
roots. Susanville has raised me well, and now
it’s my turn to be an active part in the
community’s growth. It is my time to delve
into the world from behind the lens rather
than in front.
As the new sports writer for the Lassen
County Times, I’ll be there to see who wins
the championships and who learns from
mistakes.
Athletes are born everyday, and I’m here to
capture the Lassen sports fanatics in their
natural habitat.
Am I out of my comfort zone? Sure. But
this is just another way that Susanville is
helping me branch out.
I’m here to learn about athletic expression
just as much as I report on it. I want to see
the passion behind each serve, and I want to
understand the impact behind every tackle.
Whether you dribble, tumble, toss the
pigskin, catch or run, Lassen County would
like to hear about it, and I’d love to report it.
Give me a call at 257-5321 or send me an email
to sports@lassennews.com. so I can
see you compete.
I’m prouder than ever to be American
In the controversial world we live in today,
I am prouder than ever to call myself an
American. Being an American isn’t just
living in the United States; it’s a name for
those who show patriotism, love for these
states, and would gladly lay down their lives
for this beautiful country we cherish.
To be an American, you don’t even have to
be from the USA. That’s what makes this
country so special to me. We accept all people
willing to do what it takes to earn the right to
become an American.
I am honored to have been able to wear the
starred and striped flag with those three
powerful letters sewn onto my chest so many
times.
Competing for Team USA for seven years
was an honor each and every time I put on
the red, white and blue.
Stepping onto the competition floor at
national competitions, international
competitions, training, and in the street, I
felt I had to have the absolute highest respect
for my team, my competitors, my family and

Annual car show
Congratulations to Patti
Hagata and the Chamber of
Commerce on the best Susanville
car show in more than 12 years.
And, thanks to the city for the
use of Memorial Park. The park
was a perfect setting. It was an
enjoyable afternoon for folks
strolling around the park or
sitting in the shade. The music
was great, the food delicious and
the beverages were refreshing.
The cool air under the trees

Liberal foolishness
So reading the letters, and once
again, liberal foolishness to the
rescue. Not. So it’s some liberal
organization in this case; the
meat and dairy hating PETA
people. You know, the people who
kill animals because people
shouldn’t have pets, saying that
there should be a tax on meat
and dairy. Obviously, the woman
who wrote her little letter has no
idea of the audience she is
speaking to. Lassen County is a
very pro-cattle, pro-meat eating
and pro-dairy county. And we are
sure we do not want another
pointless tax.
Suggesting it should be a sin
tax is about the dumbest thing I
have heard yet out of the mouth
of liberals so far. But good luck
trying to make it happen here in
Lassen County. It may work in
liberal strongholds like San
Francisco, but there is no way it
will ever even be thought of in
this county.
Maybe instead of telling us
what to eat and citing pointless
reports from the joke that is the
U.N., the fools at PETA put their
money where their mouth is. If
they really care about animals,
they would push for laws putting
an end to animal shelters that
kill animals when their shelters
are over full capacity. Or maybe
pushing for harsher laws and
punishments for known puppy
farm operators and dog fighting
rings.
Keep your business to
yourselves about what people put
on their tables for dinner. I for
one will keep enjoying beef, eggs,
pork, chicken and milk. A
to the
healthy diet, not a starvation diet
of vegetarianism or veganism.
Thank you.

Tax vegetables
The letter in last week’s paper
about a tax on meat was so
arrogant, self-serving, and
basically wrong that it demanded
a reply. The logic just does not
follow. Seventy percent of water
usage worldwide is on
agriculture and agricultural
concerns are a major cause of
water pollution. Perhaps we
should tax vegetables by the
pound to counteract this.
Taxes like the one in
Philadelphia are less about
revenue than to discourage the
use of these products. Like
cigarette, alcohol and other sin
taxes, the goal is to raise revenue
while punishing activities
deemed important to discourage.
As human beings have always
been omnivores, and as history
has proven, the availability of
meat and dairy (through the
ages) has increased the life span
of humans by improved
nutrition, it is a narrow view
that meat and dairy warrant a
sin tax. The incentive to eat
vegan foods is not financial or
epicurean; it is an ideology
bordering on a religion. I
personally find all forms of
proselytizing offensive, as I did
this letter.
If the goal is to raise revenue
while discouraging activities
detrimental to society, perhaps a
over my heart gazing up at my country’s flag
rise above all others while singing along
proudly.
However, this wouldn’t be possible for
myself and the other members of Team USA,
the coaches, and everyone residing in the
states without our military going out every
day and night and laying it all down on the
line.
I am forever grateful to the men and
women who have served and currently serve
our great nation and defend our freedom
from those who want to take it away because
they are the backbone of this country and
make everything that we do every day
happen.
So this Fourth of July, think about our
troops who make sacrifices for us every day.
Realize how many Americans give the
ultimate sacrifice for our country.
It’s not about the barbecues or the
fireworks. It’s about celebrating the freedoms
we have and will continue to have for years
to come. God Bless America.
E D I TO R
$1 tax on all public storage
facilities would make more sense
as, we as a people, all have way
too much stuff.
It is easy to advocate a tax on
something that will not impact
you; it is a different story when
your ox is being gored. PETA is
like any other single-issue group.
They may have been, at one time,
a group of reasonable people
who shared a belief, but when
you begin to advocate ways of
imposing your beliefs on others,
you cross a line. Liberty is not
quantifiable by whether or not it
is good for you. It is your choice
to enjoy your steak and eggs
without the interference of
government or anyone else
(IMHO).

Bug problems
I live at 6,000 feet elevation in
the forest, and I use a bug light to
kill the beetles and moths. Two
years ago it was beetles and
moths, now it is only moths, but
a lot.
To make bug lights work
properly, all the plastic screen
has to be cut away so the light
shines and the bugs can get to
the screen that will kill them.
I am off the grid, so I use a
battery powered bug light and it
seems to only stun them, so I get
up around 5:30 a.m. and kill them
myself before they fly off. I am
getting hundreds every night and
am going to get another light this

Right to bear arms
I don’t know why I am the only
one who brings this up, but the
right to bear arms is the balance
of power between the states and
the federal government. See
Article I, section 10, paragraph
three of the Constitution. “No
state shall, without the consent
of Congress, lay any duty of
tonnage, keep the troops or ships
of war in time of peace.” People
wonder why the word regulated
is used in the Second
Amendment. The word
regulation was used in old
military catalogs.
On the newsreels, I have seen
both President Truman and
President Eisenhower warn us of
a conspiracy to disarm the
population, which would
probably start with a
presidential assassination. Then
the perpetrators would dish out
the wealth and rally the under
privileged behind them. Truman
even accused them of trying to
assassinate him. I am not the
only one who saw those
newsreels, so again, I don’t know
why I am the only one to bring
this up.
As they explained it, there are
two ways to throw the country
into a dictatorship. One is
government control of the
defense industries and the other
is disarmament of the
population. Civil rights laws,
labor laws and environmental
laws are steps toward
government control of the
defense industries violate the
Tenth Amendment of the
Constitution, while gun laws
violate the Second Amendment.
Now, you wonder about the
shootings. Suppose you are a
conspirator and you happen to be
a psychiatrist with a patient who
is both homicidal and suicidal. I
am sure you could program this
patient to commit a mass
shooting and then suicide.

COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES
About the Jefferson movement and the Brits
WHERE I STAND
MS. TERRY GHERARDI
EL DORADO COUJTY
It didn’t take long for many
of us to recognize the
parallels between the Brit’s
win for independence from
the European Union and the
efforts to separate from
California by citizens of 21
Northern California rural
counties. Brits, like Jefferson
supporters, feel they have
been over regulated, lost
their economic freedom and
independence. It is also
widely reported that the
Brits want to re-establish
their sovereign borders as
opposed to the immigration
and open border policies
dictated by Brussels and
other countries in the EU.
All the aforementioned
explain why the effort for
equal representation and to
form the 51st state continues
to gain momentum and
recognition across the globe.
In fact, the day after the vote,
a British citizen sent a
message to the Jefferson
Blog, stating: “If we in
Britain can win our
independence, then so can
the people of Jefferson.”
Signed, a Proud Brit. I would
like to reiterate, that the
Jefferson movement is not
looking to secede from the
United States.
The California State
Legislature has refused to
respond to the requests by
rural county citizens, to
restore the equal
representation that existed
prior to 1964. Why? Because
those who represent
Southern California and the
San Francisco Bay Area are
fearful of losing their power
and dominance in
Sacramento. Too often this
lack of representation leaves
rural citizens and their
needs at the short end of the
stick.
The Brits made it clear
they were tired of the
bureaucracy and over
regulation by Brussels and
the greater EU. The
complaints are the same for
those in Jefferson counties
that have been hardest hit by
the burgeoning of big
government in Sacramento,
with its 570 state agencies
and departments that
continue to grow, mainly due
to the 800 or 900 new laws
passed by the state
legislature in the last two
years, layering more taxes
and restrictions on already
struggling taxpayers and
small business owners.
A recent George Mason
University report observes
California “taxes and
regulates its economy more
than most other states” and
ranks last in Regulatory
Freedom and 49th in
Occupational Licensing
regulations. California also
ranks last in Chief Executive
Magazine’s ranking in Best
States/Worst States.
As with the Brits, Jefferson
supporters are told by the
media and others, that those
in power in the California
state government will never
let you go. But just like the
Brits, Jeffersonians continue
to persevere. In Britain’s
case, the pollsters, media and
political pundits got it
wrong.
Jeffersonians believe the

Leo Button, an old Honey
Laker who has now taken up
his abode at Silver Lake in
Oregon, made a visit this
week, and brought back with
him a wagonload of furs and
buckskins.
The furs he shipped to
New York and the buckskins
he sold to Sears, the
Susanville glove maker.
He had also among his
wares the pelt of an
enormous grizzly, which he
captured himself. At sight of
the pelt, we felt like climbing

For the past week,
Susanville has been hemmed
in by a forest fire, requiring
the efforts of 1,000 men to
save a portion of the town
from burning. The fire was
kept away from all buildings
and no property damage
resulted inside the town.
The burned area is
estimated to be 15 to 20
square miles and the Red
River Lumber Company has
lost some good timber in the
district southwest of
Susanville. The entire
county is covered with an
unusually large growth of
grass and weeds, which is
now as dry as powder. With a
stiff wind behind them, the
flames ran through the grass
as fast as a man could walk.

people not to forget to do

no grocery stores open on

The cause of death has
been determined as a blunt

Efforts are being made to

“Last year the

doomsayers have it wrong,
underestimating the
dedication, motivation and
stamina exhibited by these
rural citizens.
All that is occurring and
being voiced in Britain and
much of the United States,
mirrors that of what
Jeffersonians have vocalized
the last three years. And,
isn’t it ironic that July 4th
marks 240 years since
American citizens won their
independence from the
tyranny of British rule? Now
it is predicted that June 23,
2016 will go down in history
as the date that Britain won
its independence from the
EU.
One cannot predict how
this will all play out, but I
feel the people of Britain and
those seeking the 51st state
are sending a clear message:
We will persevere in our
quest for equal
representation, economic
freedom and smaller
government, therefore
empowering the people to put
an end to the over regulation
and bureaucracy that exists
in the state and federal
government and the
European Union.
Perhaps 19th Century
author, John Basil Barnhill
said it best: “When the
people fear the government,
there is tyranny. When the
government fears the people,
there is liberty.”

fathers, John Adams, wrote,
“A history of military
operations ... is not a history
of the American
Revolution.”
Often minimized in our
history books, the tactics of
nonviolent action played a
powerful role in achieving
American independence
from British rule. Benjamin
Naimark-Rowse wrote, “The
lesson we learn of a
democracy forged in the
crucible of revolutionary
war tends to ignore how a
decade of nonviolent
resistance before the shot-
heard-round-the-world
shaped the founding of the
United States, strengthened
our sense of political
identity, and laid the
foundation of our
democracy.”
One hundred and fifty
years before Gandhi, the
American colonists
employed many of the same
nonviolent actions the Indian
Self-Rule Movement would
later use to free themselves
from the same empire —
Great Britain. The
boycotting of British goods
(tea, cloth and other
imported items) significantly
undermined British profits
from the colonies.
Noncooperation with unjust
laws eroded British
authority as the colonists
refused to comply with laws
that restricted assembly and
speech, allowed the
quartering of soldiers in
colonists’ homes, and
imposed curfews. Nonpayment of taxes would
prove to be a landmark issue
for the independence
movement. The development
of parallel governments and
legal structures strengthened
the self-rule and self-reliance
of the colonists and grew
local political control that
would ultimately prove
strong enough to replace
British governance of the
colonies. Acts of protest and
persuasion, petitions,
pamphlets, rallies, marches,
denouncements, legal and
illegal publications of
articles and disruption of
British meetings and legal
proceedings were also
employed.
Some of the most powerful
boycotts in nonviolent
history occurred in the New
England colonies against the
British Crown. Though the
term boycott would not
emerge for another hundred
years until the Irish coined it
during tenant and land
struggles, what the colonists
called “nonimportation
programs” dropped British
revenue in New England by
88 percent between 1774 and
1775. In the Carolinas,
colonists deprived the Crown
of 98.7 percent of import
revenue. Moreover, in
Virginia and Maryland, the
rate reached an impressive
99.6 percent participation.
Resistance to the Stamp
Act of 1764 through 1775
dropped revenues 95 percent
below what was expected.
The British could not even
pay for the cost of enforcing
the Stamp Act throughout
the colonies, and it was
repealed in 1766.
Newspapers published
without paying the Stamp
Tax used noms de plume to
avoid reprisal. Courts closed
because lawyers and judges
refused to pay the Stamp Act
Supreme Court endorses corruption
WHERE I STAND
LARRY KLAYMAN
FREEDOM WATCH
Recently, the Supreme
Court issued an
unprecedented 8-0 decision
overturning a conviction in
a criminal case against
former Virginia Governor
Bob McDonnell for accepting
gratuities to himself and his
wife in exchange for favors.
The case styled McDonnell v.
United States creates high
court precedent that unless
a politician or other
government official would
not have taken an act but for
the gratuity – otherwise
known as a bribe – then
there is no crime. Larry
Klayman, a former U.S.
Department of Justice
prosecutor and founder of
Judicial Watch and Freedom
Watch reacted angrily to the
unanimous decision.
“The justices of the
Supreme Court, who
ironically genuinely believe
that as legal elite they are
above the law, have just
issued a decision which
cements corruption in the
nation’s and state’s capitals,
as well as on the bench. Not
coincidentally, Supreme
Court justices receive perks
from private interests, such
as expense paid junkets from
special interests to speak
and participate in seminars
that take place in vacation
spots around the nation and
the world. These special
interests, by providing these
gratuities, obviously hope to
influence decision-making at
the high court. The justices
have always found they are
immune from charges of
accepting illegal gratuities.
In fact, Chief Justice
Roberts, in an annual report
of the high court a few years
ago, has even written that
justices are not required to
abide by the Judicial Code of
Conduct, as it does not apply
to them and may be
unconstitutional.
“Now the Supreme Court
has gone a step even further.
With its unanimous decision
today it has not only
protected the likes of
Republican establishment
former Governor Bob
McDonnell but also
effectively cleared the way
as cover for Democrat
establishment presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton
not to be indicted by the U.S.
Department of Justice for
bribery in soliciting and
accepting hundreds of
millions of dollars in socalled contributions to the
Clinton Foundation in
exchange for favors when
she was Secretary of State.
It is almost impossible to
prove that a politician or
government official would
not have otherwise taken an
action but for the gratuity
he or she took and the
justices obviously know this,
as they are not unintelligent
men and women.
“The Supreme Court’s 8-0
vote thus scratches the
backs of both parties,
protects itself and is a total
disgrace. It is why the nation
is in a revolutionary mode a
la Great Britain and its
recent vote on Brexit and
why we must remember
what our second American
president and great
Founding Father, John
Adams, proclaimed at the
time of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence
that it would not matter how
many times we changed our
rulers or forms of
government; without ethics
morality and religion we
would not have a lasting
liberty. Indeed, the nation is
collapsing as we speak in a
cesspool of continued and
increasing legal and
government corruption.
“The Supreme Court
trashed the vision of our
Founding Fathers and
issued a great setback to
liberty.”

for the printing of court
documents. Shipping permits
were supposed to be stamped,
and, since merchants and
shippers refused to pay the
tax, ports closed and even
official documents were not
delivered. Merchants of New
York, Boston and
Philadelphia pledged a
nonimportation pact until
the Stamp Act was repealed.
Six months later (at a time
when crossing the Atlantic
by sail took at least six
weeks, and sometimes as
long as three months), the
Crown repealed the Stamp
Act under pressure from its
own panicked merchants.
In a campaign that is
strikingly familiar to
Gandhi’s spinning campaign,
the American boycott of
imported British cloth held
spin-ins, whereby young
women gathered in large
groups to spin homespun
yarn for weaving cloth.
Colonists even stopped
wearing the traditional
funeral black (which
mirrored English style) in
protest of Great Britain.
Women played significant
roles in all the
nonimportation programs,
especially the resistance to
the notorious Tea Act. While
everyone remembers the
Boston Tea Party’s dumping
of tea into the Boston
Harbor, few Americans have
heard about Susan Boudinot.
She was the 9-year-old
daughter of a New Jersey
patriot, who, when handed a
cup of tea while visiting the
governor, curtsied, raised the
cup to her lips, and then
tossed the tea out the
window.
These are just some of the
many nonviolent actions
engaged in by Americans in
their struggle for
independence. Some scholars
even go so far as to call the
Revolutionary War, the War
of Reclamation, for the
revolution had already been
won in the hearts, minds,
homes and practices of the
people by the time the
British Crown sought to
reclaim the independent and
self-governing colonies.
This Independence Day, tell
the stories of the role
nonviolent action played in
establishing the United
States. Perhaps by next year,
we will be participating in
re-enactments of spin-ins,
holding mock funerals for
Lady Liberty and engaging
in boycotts of imported
goods to commemorate how
American independence was
actually won.
State treasurer
comments on Brexit
WHERE I STAND
JOHN CHIANG
CALIFORNIA STATE
TREASURER
Britain’s exit from the
European Union shouldn’t
adversely affect the state of
California’s investments.
State treasurer John
Chiang recently stressed that
uncertainty roiling world
markets in the wake of
Britain’s planned departure
from the European Union is
not expected to substantially
impact investments managed
by his office or the state’s
outstanding debt.
About two-thirds of the $75
billion Pooled Money
Investment Account is
invested in low-risk and
liquid U.S. government
securities. The balance is in
prime-rated capital market
investments. The account
includes $22.5 billion in local
government agency funds.
In addition, the state’s
outstanding, general
obligation debt portfolio is
conservative, with 95 percent
in fixed-rate bonds and just 5
percent in variable-rate
bonds. Today’s events will
have no impact on the state’s
fixed-rate bonds. There
have been only minimal
changes to interest rates on
variable-rate bonds.
“Market volatility could be
sharp until many questions
surrounding Brexit can be
resolved over the coming two
years,” said Chiang.
“Californians can be
assured, however, that my
office is monitoring
developments closely and
will take appropriate actions
to safeguard the state’s
financial integrity.
“Our $75 billion
investment portfolio and
another $75 billion in
outstanding general
obligation debt are in strong
positions to weather the
uncertainty as Great Britain
and the European Union
embark on a complex and
unprecedented separation,”
Chiang said.

runner on, and hit a two-run
homerun to tie the game 7-7.
Null came out to pitch the
top of the sixth walking his
first two batters only to
strike out the next two and
got a pop fly out to hold
Almanor.
Trenton Sanchez led off
the bottom of the sixth with
a single, followed by a double
by Mallery to put runners on
second and third with no
outs.
Fitzgerald hit a ground
ball to shortstop sending
Sanchez to the plate to score
on a close play. Susanville
lived to see another game in
a walk off 8-7 win.
The win against Almanor
put Susanville in the
championship game, once
again facing Feather River,
who Susanville would have
to beat twice to earn the
championship.
Susanville and Feather
River squared off once again
on June 26 to battle for the
District 48 Championship.
Once again Feather River’s
bats proved to be too much
for the struggling pitching
from Susanville.
Feather River claimed the
Championship in an 18-11
win.
Mallery started on the
mound followed by Wolcott,
Johnson and Tibbetts.
Susanville’s pitching threw
eight Ks and gave up 14
walks, nine hits, and 18 runs.
They battled back
offensively with 11 runs on
11 hits and four errors from
Feather River, but it wasn’t
enough to overcome Feather
River.
At the plate Mallery went
1-for-3, Fitzgerald 3-for-4,
Null 2-for-4, Marshall 2-for-2,
Kevin Kiar 1-for-2, Tibbetts 1for-3 and Robles went 1-for-3
with a grand slam homerun.

What is a buffalo?
Picture a buffalo in your
mind. Got one? What do you
see? My guess is you
envision the typical creature
with a humped back, long
shaggy cape and mane, thin
legs and a back that slopes
down to a narrow rump. On
its head you likely see
relatively short horns that
curve out from the animal’s
head then turn upward.
When an American thinks
of a buffalo, what he or she
usually sees is in reality a
bison.
There is a big difference
between buffalo and bison.
The difference is the
distance between the Great
Plains of North America
and Asia or Africa. Bison
are native to a small area of
Europe (this population is
endangered and protected)
and most of the Great Plains
of North America. Buffalo
(really water buffalo) are
native to Asia and Africa;
half a world away.
How’s that relevant to pet
food? Simple. There is a
WHERE’S WALDO IS BACK
David and Margie Teeter at Margie’s Book
Nook have kicked off the 29th annual
Where’s Waldo promotion. This year there
are 28 merchants participating throughout
the community.
Waldo is hiding in all of these businesses
and when you spot him, collect a passport
and a store stamp or signature. When you’ve
collected at least 10 different store stamps,
bring them to Margie’s Book Nook, the Find
Waldo Headquarters, to claim an “I found
Waldo” sticker and a special coupon. This is
limited to the first 100 spotters. See this
week’s ad for more contest details.
TREATS NATURAL PET
MARKETPLACE
huge shortage of bison for
pet foods now because many
people have turned to bison
as an alternative to beef.
Now imagine that you’re a
pet food manufacturer that
built the No. 1 grain-free pet
food in the USA on a diet
said to be made from roasted
bison and roasted venison,
but you can’t find a source
for bison? What to do?
There’s only one thing to
do. You keep the front of the
bag the same, but start
importing water buffalo
meat from Asia and/or
Africa and then hope the
American consumer will
never notice.
To find out more about
where your pet’s food really
comes from, visit us at any
Treats Natural Pet
Marketplace. We’ll guide you
to foods made in the USA
with ingredients from the
