County stresses need for Wild Horse solution
Kid’s Fair - - Weather-- Childrens’ day Saturday. . . Warm and pleasant . . . see page 3 see page 8 THE MODOC COUNTY RECORD ESTABLISHED IN 1892 Vol. 122 No. 48 Alturas, California May 15, 2014 50 Cents 24 Pages County employees ask for more time for negotiations Some snow . . . RECENT storms have put some white on the high mountain peaks, but the snow level has not erased the drought in this part of the world. Modoc Supervisors extended the drought emergency declaration at Tuesday’s meeting. There is some concern around the county that agriculture and domestic wells could be affected. Register to vote by May 19 With only a few days left before the May 19 deadline to register to vote in the June primary election, Secretary of State Debra Bowen is reminding Californians to register to vote so they can weigh in on important decisions about public records, veteran housing and who runs our government. “With the deadline to register to vote almost here, now is the time to get it done and check it off your ‘to-do’ list,” said Secretary Bowen, California’s chief elections official. “Registering to vote is now easier than ever for eligible Californians, so there is no need to wait.” Eligible Californians can register online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov or get a paper application at local libraries, U.S. post offices, California Department of Motor Vehicles offices and many more places. Voter registration closes 15 days prior to any California election. Last month the Secretary unveiled a simpler, more intuitive layout for her awardwinning online voter registration application. Other upgrades include the addition of eight more languages, improved accessibility see Vote, page 4 MMC hosts meet on new building A public hearing is scheduled tonight as an update and current status of the Last Frontier Healthcare District’s plan to build a new hospital. According to Modoc Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Kevin Kramer, the basic topic of discussion will be whether to employ a “design-build” or “design-bid-build” process for the new facility. Simply put, the “design build” would have the architect involved in the design and building, while the design-bid-build would have the architect draw up the plans and those would then be put out to bid to contractors. Kramer said the LFHD Board sees advantages and disadvantages with both concepts and wants to hear from the public on the issue. The meeting is set at Alturas City Hall, May 15, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The escrow on the land to build the new facility closed two weeks ago, said Kramer. The near 30-acre plot is between 12th and 8th Streets, south of the old Forest Service Building. Kramer said the new hospital would be an 8-bed facility and the price tag is estimated at between $30-$40 million. The funding would come from a U.S. Department of Agriculture loan. The current hospital is licensed at 16 beds, but Kramer said the average daily census hovers at about four patients. He also reported there has been good progress made at MMC and he sees continued improvement with still some bumpy spots. One good news item is the Skilled see MMC, page 4 On Tuesday, Modoc County Supervisors were greeted by a large contingent of Modoc County Employees, concerning the County’s “last, best and final offer” to the employee union. The item on the agenda was not listed correctly, so it will come back at the May 27 meeting for action. But, County Counsel Margaret Long said the Board could take public comment from the employees in the audience and that comment would be official. The County and Modoc County General Unit represented by UPEC Local 792 Union have been at impasse since September and the action on the agenda would have resolved the impasses and allowed the County to implement its offer. While there were several issues on the table, some of the most controversial were a downgrade from a five percent longevity increase every three years to a two percent longevity increase every two years after reaching the top step, an increase in insurance costs and a change in the insurance waiver option for employees covered by other insurance. Employees in that case have to show proof that they have outside insurance and now receive a $350 cash payment. The new agreement would drop that to $250 and would eliminate the cash payment for any employee who waives coverage and would otherwise be eligible for coverage on a family member’s county-provided health plan. Several employees opted to speak Tuesday morning, with one of the major themes being that staff has been reduced in many areas so each employee is “being asked to do more for less compensation.” An employee of Social Services told the Board that some eligibility workers would be eligible for the benefits they are working to gain for others because of their low pay level. That person also said it’s difficult to attract trained employees to this area because of the pay. One road department employee said the current low pay scales mean some quality employees just won’t apply and some current good employees may look elsewhere. A few Department Heads stressed that the County should take a good look at its overall job descriptions, pay rates and classifications. UPEC labor representative Steve Allen told the Board Tuesday he’d work with the County and employees to come to better terms than what was on the table. He asked the Board to delay the final offer and allow for a better solution than the “unilateral” action under see County, page 4 County stresses need for Wild Horse solution The Modoc County Board of Supervisors joined with several other agencies Tuesday to urge the U.S. Forest Service to move forward now on management of the Devil’s Garden Wild Horse territory. A letter sent to the Chief of the Forest Service, Thomas Tidwell stresses the need for “Immediate, incremental and consistent population reduction methods that will benefit all users of the range, as well as the taxpayer, by avoiding large increases in population with ever larger impacts on range health and the agency’s budget.” The letter contends that the current wild horse population on Devil’s Garden, expected to be 1,575 this year, is four times the management approved limit. “Currently the wild horse population is so high that it is resulting in significant economic hardship and ecological harm to public, private and tribal lands,” the letter states. The letter is signed by the Modoc County Board of Supervisors, Modoc Farm Bureau, California Farm Bureau Federation, California Cattlemen’s Association, and Public Lands Council and offers five suggestions as follows. • Short Term Measures to Minimize Impacts – see Horses, page 4 Highlight . . . THE BIG FLAG was highlighted last weekend as a big storm brought snow, rain, wind, hail and sunshine all in a few hours. The situation isn’t unusual here, but it was exciting. This week looks to be nice. Page 2 - Modoc County Record - May 15, 2014 Off The RecoRd LeTTeRs To The ediToR By Rick Holloway, Editor Truth . . . Truth is not a hard subject but can be elusive, however, revising history to make it sound better doesn’t get a person to the truth. Sheriff Mike Poindexter made a potentially damaging mistake early in this campaign when he sought to raise vehicle license fees through the Board of Supervisors. The Board declined. Now he’s trying to blame nearly everyone else, including this newspaper. What’s sad is his campaign is running a reference to an effort by the City of Alturas, Fire Chief Keith Jacques and Police Chief Ken Barnes in 2008 to raise sales tax one-half cent for police and fire safety. He’s wondering if I have a double standard. The answer to that is no. It’s no small difference that the Oct. 2008 tax question was put to the voters by the Alturas City Council after public discussions. It failed in the election. Poindexter didn’t do that with his request. I’m not the person who made the political mistake. And just to be clear here, I’m not on the ballot. When I brought up the issues of the Constitutional Sheriff’s Association and Mike Poindexter’s involvement with that group, I said it was time to open the discussion and Modoc voters would decide what they wanted. That’s still the case and there is discussion. That’s what elections are about. I also said at the time that there would be people and voters here that disagree with my assessment of the group and its authority. In many cases, that will actually benefit Poindexter. One thing is clear, there is a choice this time around. I haven’t changed my view on the group, and the discussion will be continuing. Both sides are weighing in and that’s what should happen. Again, we are getting a lot of letters, so I’m going to again cut this short to get more of them in. And I’ll stress that shorter letters are preferred. Have a great week. Need change at Auditor Dear Editor: Over the past three-and-a-half years I have had the opportunity of working closely with the current Board of Supervisors and other Modoc County officials and have been pleased with their effectiveness and progress. There is, however, an issue with the current county auditor whose behavior is often contentious and argumentative. If she were just contentious and argumentative she could be tolerated, but she has cost the county money through errors and late reporting to state and federal agencies, then blames others for problems she has created, creating an unworkable tension affecting nearly every county department. Clearly Stephanie Wellemeyer has the technical skills that are required for the auditor’s position and of The Modoc County RecoRd Alturas Plaindealer-Times, Surprise Valley Record Court Decree No. 6356, Modoc Superior Court July 7, 1958 The Modoc County Record (PUB No. 358-160) is a newspaper of general circulation as defined by statutes of the State of California and is published weekly, each Thursday morning in Alturas, Ca.

In the interest of effectiveness, my vote is going to Wellemeyer. Don Demsher Alturas Sheriff wants apology Dear Editor: Based upon your written assurances in the April 17, 2014 edition of the Modoc Record, you claimed that the Constitutional Sheriff’s and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) was a “Fringe right wing organization… that their proclamation and its intent have some real stretches in the interpretation of the U. S. Constitution and in the authority of a County Sheriff. In many cases, the proclamation is actually unconstitutional and ignores settled law.” Also therein you saw fit to include me, Mike Poindexter, Sheriff of Modoc County, in these as yet unsubstantiated accusations. Patiently I have waited through two subsequent publications of your newspaper for you to set forth the basis of these claims, all of which directly injure not only the CSPOA but myself as well. Why have you failed to act as promised? The CSPOA Resolution used Article 1 Section 8 of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights in the drafting of the resolution. As you have failed to publish a legal basis for your allegations, I will expect either a published apology or a retraction on or before May 29, 2014, which is 20 days from your last publication. Sincerely, Mike Poindexter Alturas, CA New Auditor needed Dear Editor: It is time for Modoc County to get a real professional as Auditor/Controller/County Clerk. The performance of Darcy Locken has been one error after another. The county audits, starting in 2007-2008, have not been completed. The completed audits are necessary for the county to qualify for state and federal grants. So far, the county cannot receive grant funds due to lack of completed audits. There have also been errors and penalties for payroll mistakes, and, to top it all off, a total mess in the apportionment of property taxes to the various agencies in the county. It is time for Stephanie Wellemeyer to take over these functions and clean up this mess. Elect Stephanie Wellemeyer as County Auditor/Controller/County Clerk. Sincerely, Alan Hopkins Alturas, CA Barnes will enforce law Dear Editor: Our current sheriff seems bent on expanding his role beyond law enforcement. Through his membership in the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, he’s trying to find a way to undermine federal authority and expand his control. This would cost money. There will be court cases to fight. Better to stop this before Modoc taxpayers get caught up in a battle they didn’t start. Vote for Ken Barnes. He will stick to enforcing the law. Cindi Smith Alturas, CA No pawn of Board Dear Editor: This is to circumvent a nasty rumor going around that the BOS is subservient to our Clerk of the Board! Stephanie Wellemeyer goes above and beyond, doing all the BOS asks of her. When we have had, and/or the new Board has, an idea that can’t be done in that manner, she always corrects whomever and explains the right way to do it or that it couldn’t be done, nicely, not nastily! Since the County Clerk’s office combined with the Auditor, she has been in charge and/or was instrumental in seeing that County elections were done properly. It was, after all, a new roll for the Auditor’s office. Stephanie also did all the work and mapping for the realignment of our five districts and is kind and loyal to the people of this County. Perhaps what I appreciate most is: as a member of the Alturas Chamber of Commerce, she put together the plans for a Veteran’s float for the Fandango Parade. She has continued this every year since. Thank you Stephanie! Hope you win! Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Patricia Cantrall Likely ER Time is critical Dear Editor: I have been a physician in the Big Valley area for nearly 30 years. With all the changes in delivery of medicine throughout the years, the most damaging change locally has been the loss of a local ambulance with advanced life support capability. As an ER physician who treats patients in the emergency room of Mayers Memorial Hospital, I know transport time is a critical element in insuring good outcomes. In trauma we speak of the “Golden Hour” referring to time between the trauma and the operating room. If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustain serious injuries, your ability to survive drops significantly one hour after you are injured if you are not taken promptly to an ER for stabilization. For heart muscle we use the term “Time is Tissue” if you are having a heart attack. There are drugs which dissolve clots in your coronary arteries more effectively the sooner they are given, which saves heart muscle, therefore preventing heart failure. If you’re suffering a stroke “Time is Brain”, which means many patients can be “rescued” from having a large debilitating stroke, if they are given TPA. TPA dissolves clots in the brain, but is only effective when given within 3 hours of the onset of symptoms. Minutes Count! Each minute of delay decreases your chances of a full recovery. I want to ensure that patients in Big Valley have access to emergency services ASAP, to increase their chance of survival, and decrease disability. Vote yes on Measure X and Measure Y Dr. Dan Dahle Bieber, CA Barnes will enforce law Dear Editor: Enforcing the law is a big job, so it should be the only job of any Sheriff. Modoc may be quieter than a lot of places in California, but we still have enough crime and drug problems to stretch our law enforcement budget to the breaking point. Our current Sheriff, however, seems to believe he doesn’t have enough to do, so he’s become the selfappointed defender of our Constitutional Rights. As a member of the Constitutional Sheriff’s and Peace Officers Association, Sheriff Mike Poindexter signed a CSPOA resolution that if upheld, gives him more power than a superior court judge. Modoc County is making more progress now than it has in years. We don’t need to waste time on unnecessary and fruitless extremism that will only cost the county money when CSPOA’s views are challenged in court. Vote for Ken Barnes. He’ll enforce the law. Period. Jacob Hughes Alturas Hall the right choice Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in support of my friend and friend of all Alturas Citizens, Bill Hall. I have personally known Bill since I first moved to Alturas in 1985. I can honestly say, with the ex see Letters, page 23 Looking Back 89 Years Ago - 1925 GOV. FRIEND W.

May 15, 2014 - Modoc County Record - Page 3 Modoc County Sheriff’s Blotter May 5-12 May 5: At about 5:20 p.m., Sheriff’s Dispatch received a call from the Likely area resident that a subject was walking down the road waving his arms yelling and screaming. The subject, a white male adult wearing a blue shirt and light pants, was heading toward the Likely Store. A short time later the R/P called back stating the subject lives across from the Post Office and has found his way home. No further assistance was needed. May 6: About 10:42 a.m., a Sheriff’s Deputy/ Bailiff observed a subject enter the Modoc Superior Court for his court appearance. At the time the subject appeared to be under the influence. After the appearance, the subject was contacted outside the courtroom by the deputy sheriff. The subject was found to be under the influence of an unknown substance. Arrested was John R. Escalera, 58, of Newell; about 11:40 a.m., personnel from the Juniper Junction in Adin called reporting a scam. A caller claiming to be associated with the IRS called demanding a payment of $6999.32 in back taxes. The R/P determined the call was a scam and called the Sheriff’s Office; about 1:30 p.m., a subject, wanted on a $10,000 Trinity County Warrant, was taken into custody in the Sheriff’s Office parking lot. Booked for Failure to Appear was Tiffany S. Wagner, 22, of Alturas. She was subsequently transported to Trinity County for her court appearance; about 6:30 p.m., Dispatch received a call on Chaparral Road in Cal-Pines. The R/P reported two dirt bikes driving through his property and tearing it up. One subject was wearing a red suit. A Sheriff’s Deputy responded and conducted a vandalism investigation. May 7: About 7:55 a.m., Deputies responded to Hwy 299 across from the “Jump Scales” A severely injured black Angus cow was outside the fence line. The cow had a severely injured right rear hindquarter. Due to the extreme injuries the cow was dispatched by Deputies with the owner’s consent; about 8:15 a.m., a Likely resident reported a fraudulent use of his credit card. The R/P’s bankcard has been used fraudulently with two charges, one for $640.48 and the second $598.09.The charges were from www.Lego Shop at Home. This case is continuing for follow-up investigation; about 7 p.m., Deputies responded to a mutual combat call at the 38000 block of Hwy 299. The investigation revealed that a battery occurred between the mother and her juvenile daughter. There were no visible signs of injury and no criminal complaint desired by either party. May 9: About 4:15 p.m., an illegal dumping was reported on Goose Loop Dr. in the MRE. It appears someone has been dumping in the 200 block of Goose Loop. The R/P is working with Environmental Health and the Sheriff’s Office. Extra patrol will be devoted to this area; about 6:00 p.m., Deputies attempted to execute a felony arrest warrant at Ponderosa Dr. in Lookout. Upon initial contact deputies found that the subject had fled on foot and was outstanding. A short time later the subject returned and was hiding in the residence. Deputies arrested Clinton R. Bell, 37, of Lookout on a failure to appear warrant for possession of stolen property. Also at the same residence a Jacqueline Blue, (aka: Webb, aka: Williams), 47, was also taken into custody on a Del Norte County arrest warrant; about 9 p.m., a male subject, 76, from Co. Rd. 261 in rural Alturas took his 2001 Suburban and drove toward Alturas. The subject, who has no license, is probably unsure as to what location he might be heading. A local search for the vehicle and subject was launched with multiple agencies and with the California Highway Patrol locating him on Main Street in Alturas, near the Bottle Shop. The Sheriff’s Office gave the subject a ride home; about 11:14 a.m., Deputies were dispatched to the 37000 block of SR 299 for a reported trespass call. The call turned out to be a landlord/tenant dispute and all parties were advised to seek legal advice on that matter. May 10: About 10 a.m., Deputies responded to a reported shots heard at the 37000 block of Hwy 299 in rural Alturas. Supposedly tenants were fighting over the sharing of the laundry room.

Barnes files complaint against Locken Ken Barnes, Alturas Chief of Police and candidate for Modoc County Sheriff in the June 3 election, has filed a Fair Political Practices Commission complaint against Modoc County Auditor/Clerk, Recorder/Registrar of Voters Darcy Locken. Barnes contends Locken has violated California codes, either by “her lack of knowledge regarding the voting process, or her intentional efforts to delay or sabotage my campaign. She refused to allow me to take out my original papers and delayed my campaign for a week.” In addition, when local citizen Roy Bell filed a FPPC complaint against Barnes for not filing his campaign reporting forms on April 29, Barnes contends Locken had not notified him as required. In addition, she was the witness signature on Bell’s complaint. Bell’s wife also works for the current Modoc County Sheriff, Barnes’ opponent. “After talking to a member of the FOPPC, I learned that Locken is required to promptly notify me of my failure to report, which she never did,” Barnes said. “I do realize that I am ultimately responsible for not filing my 460 an 410 (forms) in a timely manner and I will pay stricter attention in the future.” Barnes has filed the required disclosure forms. 5 DAY FORECAST Modoc • May 15 - May 19 Point Forecast - 4 Alturas, CA • 120.55ºW (Elev. ft) Issued by National Weather Miles S 41.43ºN 4398 NOAA’s Service Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 84.

Among other measures, this could include developing additional water sources to support wild horses as well as livestock and wildlife. Adding water infrastructure involves minimal expenditure and can spread out use impacts from wild horses as well as livestock and other wildlife. • Approval and Funding to Implement the Management Plan – The Forest Service Washington Office and Region Five need to provide the MDF with the funding necessary to implement the Devil’s Garden WHT Management Plan approved in August 2013. Excess wild horses should be captured and removed in the priority order outlined above. • Work to Reinstate Cooperative Program with BLM – The agency should seek the approval of BLM Litchfield Holding Facility to prepare the excess wild horses removed for adoption and to offer the horses for adoption over a six-12 month period. The BLM would also provide the necessary expertise to provide for the animal’s safe and humane capture. • Utilization of Wild Horse Handling Facilities at the Sheldon Antelope Refuge – The Forest Service should work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sheldon Antelope Refuge to leave in place the Wild Horse working facilities that currently exist at the Refuge near Denio, NV. These facilities are scheduled to be torn down following the zeroing out of the wild horses on the Refuge in the fall of 2014, but could be retained and utilized by the Forest Service. This proposal would save money by using existing infrastructures to care for horses. • New Private Holding Facilities – If it is not feasible to utilize any existing facilities, the Forest Service should solicit proposals and award contracts for private holding facilities (not rely on BLM to prepare excess horses for adoption). Solicitation of one or more contracts for long-term holding facilities to humanely care for any unadopted wild horses over the long-term may also be necessary in order to achieve AML and prevent further damage to the range. We are willing to assist the Forest Service in looking for private facilities that may be willing to provide holding services.

The R/P stated she heard noises outside her residence that sounded like someone sawing on something, but could not see anyone in the area. The area about the residence was checked by deputies and no one was located in the area. At about 10:05 a.m., the dispatch received a report of a civil dispute again on 37000 block of S/R 299 west of Alturas. During the investigation, deputies observed a male subject to be under the influence of an unknown substance. The subject was evaluated and Timothy R. Kalthoff, 53, of Alturas was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance; about 7:00 p.m., Dispatch received a trespass call at the 37000 block of Hwy 299 in rural Alturas. A previous arrestee was back harassing the R/P. Subject was intoxicated and screaming at the R/P, that they had caused him to go to jail. Two Deputies responded and quelled the disturbance.

Kramer believes the current negotiations with a local landowner should be completed in the near future. One of the big issues facing the hospital remaining is physician recruitment. It’s very difficult to find, much less attract a general practitioner to this area. It’s not just affecting here; Kramer said, there is an acute shortage of family practice doctors nationwide.

She was 93 years old. She was born Florance Martin in Aitkin township Minnesota on March 21, 1921. She moved from Minnesota to Surprise Valley, California with her small daughter, Georgia in the late 30’s. There she met and married Peter Laxague, in 1944, who was raising three young sons FLORANCE LAXAGUE on his own. With Pete, they owned and operated a variety of businesses before starting and successfully operating the Surprise Valley Lumber Company for many years. In addition to raising a family of four, Florance developed a variety of skills, including waitressing, operating Surprise Valley’s first telephone switchboard and their soda fountain. She finally acquired the nickname “Road Runner” from running errands for the mill. After tragically losing her daughter, Georgia to cancer at age 16, she continued a lifelong friendship with Georgia’s high school friends including Patricia Little, Jim Wilson and Martha Ohe. Eventually, she and Pete turned the operation of the mill over to their three sons Bill, Buddy and Ronald and retired to Reno. They loved to travel and vacationed all over the United States, Canada and Mexico. Florance who now preferred the name “Suzie,” loved people and loved to stay busy, so she continued working over the years, as a waitress for a variety of Reno area restaurants. She loved to knit and crochet and supplied senior centers, retirement homes, family and friends with hundreds of knitted slippers each year. Florance was a devout Catholic and enjoyed a special relationship with The Sisters of our Lady of Mountain Carmel in Reno. She was especially close to Sister Mary Drzewiecki. She was also religious about watching her soap operas (Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives), so much so, that she referred to it as her “Holy Hour”! Florance had a large and loving family, both in Surprise Valley and in the Reno area. She was fortunate to live with and enjoy the care and constant companionship of her great-granddaughter Heather Icard, husband Darrin and daughter Mackenzie, lovingly assisted by granddaughter Diane Hair and husband Ron. She was preceded in death by her husband Peter Laxague, daughter Roberta Georgia Laxague, sons William and Buddy Laxague, father Joseph Custer Martin, mother Addie May Babcock, stepfather Chester Davis, siblings Clifford Martin, Chauncey Martin and Lester Martin. She is survived by son Ronald Laxague, nephew Pat Martin, grandchildren Diane Hair, Martin Laxague, Michele Turner, Susan Hill, Joan Grover, Laura Minto, William Laxague, Jr., Mary Hironymous, Cathy Laxague and 16 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. She will be missed by sister-in-law Faye Harrington and her daughter Suzanne Harrington Cole, Godson Dennis Golden, a multitude of friends and especially by her beloved canine buddy, Bo. At Florance’s request no funeral will be held. A memorial service is planned for Surprise Valley at a date to be announced.

Mike was asked to bring funding options to the board. The VLF increase information was specifically asked for numerous times during budget hearings over several years. Mike finally put the info together as requested; the Board did their job by setting up public hearings. The public was not in favor, so the board rejected the item. Quite frankly, I believe they got it right. End of story. AlturAs City CounCil The • The Sheriff’s Office does work alongside the City Police Dept. In 2009 the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) recorded just 15 assists to the PD. In 2013 the CAD recorded 97 assists to the PD. That’s over a 500% increase under Mike’s leadership. t r a m S ! e c i o Ch • You the people elected Mike to lead and rebuild the Sheriff’s Office. Mike restructured the office immediately and the Board approved. A year later they tried to restructure the Office again for the Sheriff, demanding specific cuts to personnel. He requested a dollar figure, they refused. He stood his ground. The lawsuit was only averted due to the Sheriff’s efforts and the staffs willingness to sacrifice in order to save precious County dollars.

Main Street • Alturas, CA 96101 DOUBLE STANDARD? YOU DECIDE! October 30, 2008 NEWS City voters asked to approve public safety funds. Voters in the City of Alturas are being asked to approve Measure K, which would add one-half cent to the state sales tax, which would be used only for public safety in the city. The Alturas City Council placed the issue on the ballot at the request of Alturas Chief of Police Ken Barnes and Fire Chief Keith Jacques, both of who see a shortage of funds currently to meet the community’s needs. The issue needs a two-thirds majority to pass on Nov. 4. The state sales tax is now at 7.25 percent, and if Measure K is approved, the sales tax in the city would go up. It is estimated that about $200,000 would be raised annually for the city. http://www.modocrecord.com/2008archives.html PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT SHERIFF MIKE POINDEXTER May 15, 2014 - Modoc County Record - Page 9 THE RECORD publishes announcements free of charge for engagements, weddings, births and obituaries, as space allows.

And the winner is . . . Dear Editor: Once again the clouds of cocoa have cleared, and the clash of the chocolate titans has come to an end at the 4th Annual - Dr. Roberts Fund - Chocolate Wars. Kerry Davis dominated this event - winning the Grand Prize and the title of Chief Chocolatier with her Chocolate Decadence Cake. Chocolate Wars was a sweet success thanks to the creative cooks who stirred, beat, mixed, baked, frosted, and decorated the most decadently delicious desserts any diner has ever dared to digest. Please check out our ad in next week’s paper for a complete listing of all of the sponsors, donors, and other contributors that made this event so spectacular. I also want to personally thank all of the valiant volunteers, generous judges, supportive sponsors, gracious grocers, accomplished auctioneers, and most of all – the hungry hordes whose quintessential cocoa cravings hopefully have been quenched until we search for the next Immaculate Confection at the 5th Annual Chocolate Wars on May 9, 2015 – the day before Mother’s Day. -- Diana Dix Chocolate Wars Organizer Brownlow completes Basic U.

One in four American adults live with a diagnosable mental illness in a given year, but many of them are afraid to reach out for the help they need. “A New State of Mind: Ending the Stigma of Mental Illness” features just a few of the millions of Californians who are refusing to stay silent while untreated mental illness takes an unnecessary toll on our families and communities. Through their stories, viewers can see that mental health challenges are more common than they think, that they can be managed, and that recovery is possible. This grant award provides means to reach out to our community with valuable information regarding mental health stigma…and an opportunity to “Envision Change.” WINTER’S ALMOST OVER SALE 20% OFF ON ALL WAXING ALL WINTER ACCESSORIES 50% OFF ALL OTHER ACCESSORIES 25% OFF B liss Beauty & Body Boutique Hair • Nails •Waxing • Massage 5/15 d& Mentions Thiso AA FREE Be Entered InraTwing!

Main Street Alturas, CA 96101 PHONE 530-868-6806 OPEN LETTER TO THE RESIDENTS OF MODOC COUNTY We are voting for Mike Poindexter for Modoc County Sheriff because he has surpassed “SAYING” he supports the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, he has proven it! All elected officials swear an oath to defend the US Constitution, but most have lied to us, and now strong principled leaders must stand up and prove they are Constitutional, not just say it. Mike has “PROVEN” it by his actions. Sheriff Poindexter stands with our Founding Fathers, against an over-bearing Federal bureaucracy. He took on the United States Forest Service after the devastating Barry Point (Goose Lake) Fire in August 2012, in an attempt to prevent a long lasting and devastating effect as well as the financial loss to the county as seen with the Blue Lake Fire in August 2001 and the Fletcher Fire of July 2007 wherein the burnt timber was ruined because the Forest Service failed to do their paperwork in a timely manner. Our Sheriff sees his job as encompassing the Health, Safety and Welfare of all Modoc citizens. By trying to get the USFS to do their job, Mike was ensuring the safety and welfare of the citizens of Modoc. As the Sheriff and Director of Emergency Services, he authored an “Emergency Proclamation” that WAS SUPPORTED AND SIGNED BY THE Board of Supervisors (BOS). Our Sheriff did all he could do to stop the USFS from failing to do their duties as historically proven with the other two fires. The USFS is supposed to follow their very own studies, policies and directives…..AND WORK WITH THE COUNTY! Again, last year, Federal, State, Environmental and animal extremists tried to stop the coyote hunt in Big Valley, and Sheriff Poindexter stood up to them and allowed the legal hunt to go forward. He has seen to the FEMA training of over 500 County employees and citizen volunteers (ICS, NIMS, SIMS) to better assist in case of local emergencies. He has established an effective neighborhood watch program in almost every township within the county of 400 volunteers. Mike has set up sorely lacking policies and procedures to increase the professionalism of our sheriffs department. He followed the Board of Supervisors (BOS) direction (even though it’s their job) to obtain additional funding through whatever means are available. When the state made new legislation to obtain additional funding, he was told to investigate it, he did. When he presented his findings to the BOS in a public forum, the same BOS that told Mr. Poindexter to get more funding, then told him NOT TO RAISE TAXES, as per Rick Holloway, who berated him publicly for doing what he was told to do. Also, a BOS member informed us, that what was reported WAS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. So Mike is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. Sheriff Poindexter further stands for “We the People”, the way our Founders intended, to enforce the Constitution. The Constitution was NOT written to control us the people, but to rein in the power of the Federal Government, as per the 10th Amendment. Mike supports all of the Constitutional Amendments, not just the ones that are politically advantageous. Sheriff Poindexter took another step and joined, helped draft, and signed a declaration of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) to show what he believed IN WRITING. He knew he would be criticized, he knew he would be subject to public scrutiny and ridicule, as the Modoc County Record so bluntly and erroneously did. But Sheriff Poindexter did it anyway. Two other County Sheriffs’ who signed the declaration that supports only legal laws that DID NOT conflict with the Constitution, were immediately attacked by government agencies. One was arrested and cleared, the other had his Peace Officers powers removed, (by none other than liberal Vice President Biden’s son, the State Attorney General of Delaware), and the other is judicially pending. Why are Holloway and Barnes afraid of a group of Law enforcement Managers who actually support the Constitution? Sheriff Poindexter doesn’t re-interpret the Constitution to mean what he wants it to mean, he reads it to mean what it says. He is willing to be targeted by liberals who do not like our Constitution and want to re-interpret it to mean what they want it to mean. Our Sheriff is willing to take a stand, despite the costs. What is the agenda of these publishers, and political people? Is it Agenda 21, or making the Modoc Plateau a National Park (As had been suggested by environmental groups, to control our water), shouldn’t ALL ELECTED POLITICIANS SUPPORT AND ACTUALLY DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION? How many other elected officials can you think of that are actually willing to take a personal hit to stand up for the founding fathers principle of a smaller controlled federal government? Mike has saved this county $200,000 during his fours years in office for refusing to take benefits and perks. Would Ken Barnes do the same? Would the BOS do the same? Would Rick Holloway do the same? As a former US Marine, a former CHP Officer and currently the Sheriff, Mike has served All Americans, All Californians and All Modoc’ers by being willing to put his life and reputation on the line. His father and son were/are also former US Marines and law enforcement officers. Poindexter talks the talk and walks the walk. He’s not a politician, but the real deal. He is working for you, not for himself. By joining the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, Mike boldly stood up against an over-bearing, bloated, over-powering, overly taxing, inept, in debt, federal government. He is walking a different path than Ken Barnes, not because it’s easy, but because it the right thing to do!!! Mike is focused on the future of our inalienable God given rights as set forth by our founding fathers. PS: For those of us that know Mr. Holloway, the Owner and Editor of the Modoc County Record, who is pushing his agenda in the paper, shouldn’t we be running in the opposite direction of what he is supporting? Signed Tom and Lisa Parnow, Richard Lash, Todd and Sue Ehlinger, David Hinze, Dave and Rose Jacquot, Mark Bishop, Monte Hinze, Tony Macera, and many other citizens who are afraid of political retribution. 5/15 PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT May 15, 2014 - Modoc County Record - Page 11 Historic Barn Tour, BBQ Saturday The Fort Crook Historical Society of Fall River Mills will be hosting a Historic Barn Tour and Barbecue on Saturday, May 17, starting at the Museum at 43030 Fort Crook Avenue and Hwy. 299 in Fall River from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Purchase tickets for the tour map of 16 historic barns and enjoy lunch at the Beaver Creek Ranch Round Barn on the museum grounds in Fall River, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets are $20 each at the Round Barn at the Museum.

Their tree and a huge “diorama gateway” sign constructed by students from Alturas and Cedarville will be on display at the Modoc Outdoor Recreation and Tourisms Outdoor Expo to be held on June 21, 22 at the Desert Rose Event Center. One of the most unique trees growing in the South Warner Wilderness Area is the very rare and world record holding champion Washoe Pine. The National Registry of Big Trees lists its circumference at 243 inches and height at 145 feet. Although this tree holds the world’s record, it is believed there are other Washoe Pines in the wilderness that would surpass this figure, but haven’t been recorded yet. Washoe Pine occurs in three mountain ranges on the western rim of the Great Basin in northeastern Cali- fornia and northwestern Nevada. Some are found on the east slopes of Mount Rose, Nevada, and can be found in small stands in the southern Warner Mountains and in the Bald Mountain range of northeastern California. This record holding Washoe pine has been described as a knarly looking tree and is located in the Parsnip Basin and Poison Flat areas in the South Warner Wilderness. This tree is one of the special trees being recognized by the local U.S. Forest Service office in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act that preserves such areas for the American public to enjoy. After the Modoc Outdoor Expo, the Gateway sign and diorama will go on tour in northern California to promote tourism in Modoc County. Family Pack 2 LB.

Page 14 - Modoc County Record - May 15, 2014 Use of food stamps rises in Modoc County; up to 10.4 percent By Emily Guerin and Tim Marema The use of food stamps in Modoc County increased during the recession, assisting families in stretching their food dollars, contributing to local spending and helping spark a national debate about the future of the federal nutrition program. The proportion of Modoc County residents receiving food stamps hit 10.4 percent in 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Services. That’s an increase of 2.4 percentage points since 2007, the year the recession started. Across California, 10.4 percent of residents in 2011 received support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as the food stamp program is officially known. Nationally, 14.8 percent of the population receives SNAP benefits. Places like Modoc County, which are located outside metropolitan areas, tend to have a higher percentage of the population receiving SNAP benefits. That’s because incomes are generally lower in non-metropolitan counties. The inflation-adjusted median household income in Modoc County in 2011 was $35,892, compared to the California median of $59,320 and the national median of $52,306 (in 2013 dollars). Food stamps may play a larger role in the local economy in rural areas and small towns, according to federal data. In Modoc County SNAP benefits are .1 percent of personal income. Nationally, the figure is 0.6 percent. In 2011, residents of Modoc County received a combined $1,657,141 in SNAP benefits. The USDA reports that each $5 in SNAP benefits generates $9.20 in spending. SNAP benefits start to circulate in the economy quickly. Participants spend nearly all their food stamps within one month of receipt, according to a study by the University of New Hampshire Carsey Institute. Grocers say they feel the impact of SNAP and other USDA nutrition programs like Women, Infants and Children (WIC). “Without SNAP and WIC, we wouldn’t be able to make it,” wrote the owner of the Mill City Market in the small town of Mill City, Ore., in a survey of rural grocers conducted by the Oregon Food Bank and Kansas State University Rural Grocery Initiative. Owners know they have to stock the shelves to prepare for more business when SNAP benefits hit the streets, said David Procter with the Rural Grocery Initiative. It’s not just the mom-and-pop stores that see a bump from food-stamp spending in small towns and rural areas.

Those campgrounds are scheduled to open for the July 4th weekend. Most of the campgrounds on the Warner Mountain, Devil’s Garden and Big Valley Ranger Districts are now accessible to vehicle traffic. Changes in weather conditions may cause some of the more remote campgrounds to be inaccessible. Please check conditions prior to traveling to these sites and use caution, as the roads are still soft. Vehicles pulling trailers often have early season issues and may be difficult to maneuver or create resource damage in the more remote campgrounds. Blue Lake, Mill Creek, Soup Springs and Howard’s Gulch have drinking water available. Willow Creek Campground and the day use area will not have potable water until after Memorial Day weekend. Fees are $12 to $14 per night. Please check campground fee stations for current water advisories. change Commission filing that a decrease in SNAP benefits last year could affect the retail giant’s bottom line. Average SNAP benefits nationally fell about $30 a month per family in November after a temporary increase that was part of the 2009 economic stimulus package. More funding decreases are on the way. Food stamps have been part of the farm bill for the past 50 years. The legislation’s combination of farming and nutrition programs has helped ensure the bill receives broad backing from farm-country representatives and more urban-based members who support anti-poverty programs. That alliance was tested but held with the passage of the 2014 farm bill. Data for this article came from USDA Food and Nutrition Services, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census. The data was compiled and analyzed by Roberto Gallardo, Ph.D., associate Extension professor with the Mississippi State University Extension Service. Funding for this report came from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Politics can be nasty; I don’t believe it needs to be. My record at the Sheriff’s Office stands on its own. I am extremely proud of the hard work and many accomplishments made, we have come a long way. No one can tarnish or take that away. Being your Sheriff is a big job, demands don’t go on hold during the election process. I have a job to do and simply do not have the time for all of this political rhetoric. I am not a politician, or a “yes” man and simply will not tell you what I think you want to hear. It’s simple folks, the decision is yours; if you’re unhappy with the current service of the Sheriff’s Office, please come see me, my door is always open. We have been very busy building a Sheriff’s Office we can all be proud of, if you agree; cast your vote for Mike. 5/15 PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT SHERIFF MIKE POINDEXTER May 15, 2013 - Modoc County Record - Page 19 Surprise Valley News By patricia Hemsley Senior: 1st: Makenzie McGiffin - age 15 (Ft.

Photo by Ademar Rosario Snow didn’t stop the sweet wars Despite a sudden blizzard that blew into the valley just as judges met to determine the winners, the 4th Annual Chocolate Wars was, by all accounts, a sweet success! The day’s vanquishers engaged in many well-fought culinary battles and a final roster of worthy cooks and pastry chefs emerged victorious. “When a car went off the road on Cedar Pass in the storm, two judges coming from Alturas were able to provide support for the driver until help arrived,” reported organizer Diana Dix. “We did a little last minute rearranging and they arrived in time for the second round of judging.” Dix assembled an impressive line-up of supporting generals to help with the event. Sandy Stevenson and Andy Camacho were the day’s auctioneers. Despite the tumultuous weather outdoors, Diana Milton made sure the judging went smoothly. Mary Alice Sandstrom coordinated with a small army of servers who offered guests an unending array of chocolate nibbles and blissful bites. Linda Schultz ran the registration and score keeping table while Doug Schultz manned the raffle table and took care of all the auction paperwork. “Our set up crew did a fantastic job decorating,” added Dix (who also helped). “Many thanks to Juana, Isabel and Sarah Juarez, Hemma Rangel, Rebeca Lopez, Elizabeth Lopez-Rangel, Cindy and Miranda Linker, Doug and Linda Schultz, Carol Willett and Jerry Minto.” Dix, who conceived of and has served as Supreme Commander of Chocolate Wars for all four years, added that the day’s clean-up crew deserves medals as well. “The 4-H kids and parents helped tear everything down including the tables and chairs. I want to give a huge thank you to Dianna Lopez, Rebeca Lopez, Gaby Castillo and Ofelia Contreras who finished cleaning the dance hall.” Winners of the 4th Chocolate Wars: Grand Prize: Kerry Davis (Alturas) - Chocolate Decadence Cake Cakes, Cupcakes, Pies: 1st: Nina Heard (Lake City) - Easy Chocolate Cake 2nd: Sandy Stevenson (Cedarville) - Mile High Chocolate Stout Cherry Pie 3rd: Kasey Parry & Lily Perkins (Cedarville) - Heath Cake Cookies, Bar Cookies, and Brownies 1st: Kerry Davis (Alturas) - Triple-Threat Chocolate Cookies 2nd: Payton Burresch (Cedarville) - Rocky Road Bars 3rd: Sharon Boneck (Lake City) - Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookies Candies, Pastries, Miscellaneous 1st: Miranda Linker (Cedarville) - Cookie Dough Balls 2nd: Pam & Angela Hinton- Rockiest Road Fudge 3rd: Elly Viehdorfer (Alturas) - Mini Chocolate Tarts Child’s Award 11 & under Sequoia Klugherz - age 7 (Ft.

For almost four decades now, “The Barbecue” has kicked off Surprise Valley’s summer season of events that all feature great outdoor grilling, needed fundraising and the socializing we all crave after a long winter. Since its inception, this celebration is known for offering up some of the region’s best sizzling sirloin steaks, barrel-roasted chicken and all the trimmings while raising critical funds for the town’s all-volunteer fire department. The first Memorial weekend Barbecue was held in 1976, commemorating the centennial of Fort Bidwell’s historic general store built by Irvin Ayres in 1876. That store, known as Lowell’s, was last owned by Harold and Ruby Ascherman who changed the name to the “Fort Bidwell General Store.” Beyond celebrating the town’s history, they conceived the idea of a barbecue to assist their growing fire department. Others instrumental in establishing this local tradition were Ham Scarr, Dr. Keller and “Tiny” Waldon Baker, according to the historians of the Fort Bidwell Civic Club. “From the very beginning, our members worked side by side with the founders and the local volunteer firemen to put on the annual affair,” said the Civic Club’s Beth Tozier. “Over the years, thanks to all the hard work and generosity of those supporting this fundraiser, the various fire chiefs have been able to buy an impressive amount of crucial equipment to support their departments’ firefighting efforts.” The very first year of the barbecue, a local rancher donated an entire steer for the day’s raffle. In subsequent years, that honor was passed from rancher to rancher while the Aschermans provided almost all the food that was served. There were years when it wasn’t unusual for the hosts to serve up to 2,000 people. For the 2014 event, organizers have already been out, roaming far and wide to collect useful, valuable and downright amazing raffle prizes. Tickets are only $1 each or six for $5. Prizes include a Grand Prize of 60 pounds of sirloin steaks, wrapped and 40 pounds of sirloin for the day’s runner-up. But what’s a day at the Civic Club’s lovely landscaped grounds without some fun for the children and young at heart? This year there’ll be sack races, a watermelon-eating contest and all kinds of “oldfashioned” fun. Everyone will enjoy checking out the vendor area where individual crafters and artisans join with Modoc’s non-profit organizations displaying items of interest and souvenirs for sale. Space is allotted on a “first come, first served” basis; therefore potential vendors should call Mikie Royer (530) 2792229 or Carol Benner at (530) 640-0643 to reserve top 5/15 a space soon.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VOTERS The Lassen County Sample Ballot and Voter Information Pamphlet for the upcoming June 3rd Primary Election contains a page that was incorrectly printed. The “Rebuttal to Argument Against Measures X and Y” on page 18/8, contains content that was incorrectly inserted by the printer. We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused and want the voters to know the error is being corrected at the printer’s expense. The corrected content is printed below: ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURES X AND Y We live in an isolated area. Current ambulance response time is unacceptable. During extreme weather conditions, air and ground ambulance arrival may be extended even longer. Lack of available ground or air ambulance resources from Legals continued on pg 23 May 15, 2014 - Modoc County Record - Page 23 MODOC COUNTY RECORD Legals continued from pg 22 outside our area further complicates the issue. The formation of the Southern Cascades Community Services District (CSD) is essential to secure financial stability and local control for an advanced life support ambulance service. Passage of measures X and Y will re-establish a timely ambulance response, providing lifesaving treatment and transport. A locally elected volunteer CSD board will have the responsibility of the ambulance service administration, procurement and maintenance of equipment, and training and certification of personnel. Property owners within the boundaries of the CSD will pay a special tax of $65.00 per parcel annually with a two parcel cap per unique property owner. This special tax will never be increased without twothirds approval by voters within the district. All taxes received will go directly to the CSD for operational expenses. This measure is supported by law Enforcement agencies, medical facilities and other emergency service agencies of Modoc and Lassen counties A YES vote on both measures, X and Y will return locally controlled Advanced Life Support Ambulance services to our communities. /s/ Valerie Endicott /s/ Clinton Davis /s/ Sheila Conner ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURES X AND Y At the outset, we compliment the Committee that has worked hard on this measure. Hard work aside, it is our position that a wrong conclusion has been reached. Consider these facts. SCCSD Statement of Justification: “The territory within the Big Valley area is in need of Ambulance and Emergency Medical Services since said services no longer exist.” FACT: Ambulance and Emergency Medical Services do already exist for Big Valley. Transport ambulance service and Advance Life Support (ALS) comes from either Alturas or Fall River. First Response & Basic Life Support are provided by local fire districts. The SCCSD would be a duplication of services. SCCSD will “provide local community education in Emergency Response Care and Safety Training.” FACT: This training is already provided by Modoc Medical Center, including citizen training for First Aid and CPR. SCCSD proposes a first year budget of $356,000. $221,000 would be raised through a new tax of $65.00 upon all unique property owners in the service district leaving a balance of $135,000 which would come from transport services. FACT: Transport service revenue is based upon an inaccurate estimate of ambulance runs which could result in a severe revenue shortfall. FACT: $221,000 (or more) coming from us! How can we bear such a burdensome tax for a duplication of services? What about an even higher future rate (no proposed limit)? FACT: A local ambulance will not mean a free ambulance ride. All ambulance services involve standard charges (approx. $2,800 per ride). FACT: In Lassen & Modoc counties there are 866 registered voters who can vote on this measure, while there are 3,400 taxable parcels. A vast majority of landowners will have no vote! This is clearly a classic case of taxation without representation. Vote NO on X (district) and Y (tax). /s/ Lin Erickson /s/ Gary Monchamp /s/ Nancy Monchamp /s/ Linda Moore REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURES X AND Y Advanced Life Support (ALS) Ambulance does not exist in Big Valley. The current situation is meant to be temporary. An Advance Life Support Ambulance is an emergency room on wheels. The people of Mayers Memorial Hospital District and the Last Frontier Health Care District pay a tax to have ambulance service. Fire Districts do not provide Advanced Life Support Transport. The SCCSD ambulance would provide a timely response to our area. Some training has been provided by Modoc Medical Center, However Emergency Medical Technician and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician training has not been provided in Big Valley for several years. Employers in our area, the public pool, schools as well as the ambulance service itself need much more training. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 resulted in 167 billable transports of patients. Modoc Sheriff records from March 2012-March 2013, show the ambulance responded to 180 calls in Big Valley and surrounding areas. The tax burden of $65.00 per parcel equates to less than $6.00 per month. What is one life saved worth? Taxes CANNOT be increased without a 2/3 voter approval. There is no duplication of service! The federal and state constitutions establish who can vote. Any person can live in our area and register to vote here. Restore our community ambulance services which were established in 1949. VOTE YES ON MEASURES X AND Y! /s/ Valerie Endicott /s/ Sheila Conner /s/ Clinton Davis REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURES X AND Y Let’s be clear. We already have ALS ambulance services for Big Valley, as well as local First Response and Basic Life Support (Paramedics, EMTs). These services cost us no new taxes. We don’t need an excessive enterprise requiring taxes for union wages, equipment, ambulances and buildings. The proposed budget for the CSD is faulty, which is likely to lead to more taxes in the future. Asking voters again for tax increases would be very burdensome. Remember, nonresident property owners will be taxed without getting a vote. Operating an ambulance service is expensive. Other service districts in BV have little or no budgets and mostly depend on volunteers for their operations. Volunteerism is good business in light of Big Valley’s struggling economy. The proposed CSD budget includes no ambulances, equipment or buildings. Additional funds for Letters from page 2 ception to two other gentleman in Alturas, have I ever met someone who has given more time and energy to not just one cause but to many. You hear the term “our children are our future.” Well now is the time to make that statement a fact. Well, there are more than just me out there. Bill supports our community with Rotary, the helping of school functions, assists his wife in her job, and no matter what, if you ask him to help he will. I’ve watched him step up when schools needed coaches, when students needed mentoring, and I’ve watched him gather the town together when tragedy has struck. When Bill says he does care, he does. Bill has his own Motto . . . Win the Day! And I will make sure on June 3, he does. He loves this town, and I am thankful to have him running for city council because I know he will make Alturas a better place to live. Sheryl McLaughlin Alturas Bees not an enemy Dear Editor: I just want our community to know those dandelions have returned to these will have to be generated from BV sources as well. While some emergency service agencies have been cooperating with the committee, this is not to say they support the measures. Cooperation should not imply support for the measures. The question is: do we taxpayers support the CSD and the tax? The proposed CSD is a case of “too big, too late.” A solution should have been accomplished before the local ambulance service stopped last year. Since then, we have adjusted to services coming from Alturas or Fall River. This adjustment has cost Valley residents absolutely nothing. The proposed CSD will cost us $356,000 per year plus capital expenses that could easily be hundreds of thousands. Too big! Too late! It would be nice to get everything we want rather than what we need. We already have what we need without new taxes. Vote NO on Measure X. We already have services. Vote NO on measure Y. We cannot afford these new taxes. /s/ Lin Erickson /s/ Gary Monchamp /s/ Nancy Monchamp /s/ Linda Moore Published in the Modoc County Record on May 15, 2014.

Further: according to county board supervisor minutes we approved an extra $62,471 for herbicides in mid March. Farmers know we have “grown out” many herbicide resistant strains for Monsanto to game our soil. If our Ag Commissioner was capable of a critical thought it could teach the horrors of these life-threatening killers being out of balance. Neighbors please do not think our nation is feeding the world with Monsanto’s help. While becoming Monsanto dependent we have been a net importer of food for a decade. Our own ground is so broken; food bills have increased over 19 percent this year. The antibiotics needed for animals to combat effects of ingesting these (2-4D style) neurotoxins is expensive. Monsanto products have required increased application rates as they have become less effective, increasing cost. The built-in resistance (planned obsolesce) is compromising our human immune systems (increasing health care costs). I have been farming long enough to remember when Round-up was introduced. In the day you were required to wear full skin protection and have a permit certifying you knew how mix and apply. Sincerely, Dale Hodges Surprise Valley The message manipulation Dear Editor: For almost a year the Big Valley area has been without local ambulance service. A group of dedicated and hardworking people have made a proposal and done the work to present this proposal to the voters. They have considered the service to be provided and the cost to the tax payers. It is now our turn as taxpayers and voters to step up to the plate. The few people vocally speaking out against these measures, saying that this is a duplication of services and an unfair tax burden, are the same people who felt ambulance service was important and necessary when they proposed the JPA between local Fire Protection Districts and wanted to charge upwards of $200 per household. This is not a duplication of service. The people who reside in Mayer’s Memorial Hospital and Modoc Medical Center Hospital Districts are paying for this service. These hospitals have been forced to cover the gap left when the Big Valley Ambulance was closed. In effect, we have been borrowing “sugar” from our neighbors instead of buying our own. The problem with this is our neighbors may not always be available to lend us what we need. Mayer’s Memorial Hospital has one ambulance. This am- bulance covers Burney’s ambulance when they are out on a call and takes patients to Redding for inter facility transports. When they are out of their immediate area this causes a gap in service. The Big Valley Ambulance used to help cover this gap. Now the next closest ambulance is Modoc Medical Center. As the services are used or shuffled, response times increase. We have already seen a huge increase in response times here in Big Valley. Response times of six to 20 minutes were the norm and now we are dealing with 30-60 minute response times minimum. This cuts into the “golden hour” of treatment for the patient. Causing a stroke, heart attack or serious accident to become more life threatening. The longer you wait for treatment to begin the less your chance of a great outcome. We were lucky this winter with little weather that would delay response times from over a mountain pass to our communities. Do we really need to have a tragic loss before we see that it is time to “buy our own sugar” and take care of our own instead of relying on services that are already stretched painfully thin. I, like most of you, don’t want to have to pay another tax. We pay for the library and they close us down to one day a week. We pay for the dump and they close Adin’s transfer station to once a month, we pay Cal Fire’s “tax” and receive nothing additional for this. I believe measure X and Y is a tax we cannot afford to go without. Look at what we will be getting: a local Advance Life Support staff with faster response times for your emergency, local control of that service so no one can decide to shut us down in the future. It is time we support each other and take care of our own. Please consider a Yes vote on measure X and Y. Diane Bouse PO Box 102 Adin Comments sought for Highland Roadside Safety Improvement Project The Doublehead Ranger District of the Modoc National Forest is initiating scoping for the Highland Roadside Safety Improvement project. The project area is located in T42N through T45N, R3E through R4E. The purpose and need for this project is to provide safety along 81 miles of major public travel routes. To date more than 300 trees have been identified as infected by insects and pathogens or have become weakened by wind damage or lightning. Trees identified for treatment have the potential to fall partially or entirely within the roadway if they fall. Ingrowth of shrubs and young trees into the road corridor has created conditions of poor sight distance and visibility. There is a need to modify the vegetation conditions along the roadway to improve safety. The project is consistent with the objectives stated in Forest Service Manual (FSM) 7703.01 to decrease the potential for accidents on National Forest System roads. Project scoping is an ongoing process, and public input on this proposal is important. Input will be used to help refine the scope of the proposal and further develop the proposed action. To better assist with the planning process, please submit comments by June 16, 2014, so comments may be considered as we move through the NEPA process with this project. Comments, written or oral, may be submitted to: Chris Christofferson, Acting District Ranger, Doublehead Ranger District, ATTN: Highland Roadside, 49870 Hwy 139, Tulelake, CA. 96134; (530) 667-8610, FAX: (530) 667-8609 during normal business hours. Doublehead Ranger District business hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Electronic comments, in acceptable plain text (.txt), rich text (.rtf), or Word (.doc) formats, may be submitted to: commentspacificsouthwest-modoc-doublehead@fs.fed.us. Please direct questions about this project to Chinling Chen, NEPA planner at (530) 667-8615, or to cchen@fs.fed.us Decision on Massacre Lake grazing levels The Bureau of Land Management has released decisions authorizing livestock grazing and setting an appropriate population level for wild horses on public lands in the Massacre Lakes area in northwest Nevada, about 40 miles east of Cedarville, Calif. The Decision Record, available online at www.blm. gov/ca/st/en/fo/surprise.html authorizes one livestock grazing permit holder to harvest 1,693 animal unit months of forage per year which would support a maximum of 450 cattle in a grazing season running from mid-May to mid-September. The decision for the Massacre Lakes Allotment mandates that cattle be rotated among five grazing pastures in a two year cycle. The appropriate management level for wild horses in the Massacre Lakes Herd Management Area is set at a range of 25 to 45 animals with a corresponding forage allocation of 300 to 540 AUMs per year. The current AML is 25 to 35 horses. Details on opportunities to protest or appeal the decisions can be found in the Decision Record document at the web address shown above.
