Russell Firefighters from the Montgomery Creek Fire Company No. 71 use JAWS to free the driver of the hay truck from the cab of his overturned truck. Driver escapes major injury after losing control of loaded hay truck in canyon near Ingot INGOT - A trucker, hauling a load of hay had to be extricated by Montgomery Creek Fire Department personnel Saturday afternoon. The driver injured his left elbow along with cuts and bruises in the 2: 50 p.m. crash. BURNEY – Fire Chief Ray Barber told his board Wednesday afternoon that he had received the tax information on the Cassel area. It was not feasible to pursue annexing that area into the Burney district. There wouldn’t be enough revenue available to provide that area with any improvement in the services they were already getting under the complete volunteer and County Fire system. Asked later by a member of the audience whether the board needed to take a vote, Chair Bob Moore said no, the board had given the chief the authority to see if it was feasible. His determination that it wasn’t, was all that was needed. Barber also explained to the board that his original thought of including the windmills on Hatchet Ridge that faced the town wasn’t’ practical because Cal Fire would then have to cross through the Burney District to take care of fire calls beyond that. It was, in his estimation better to leave the entire windmill project under Cal Fire’s jurisdiction. He would talk to County Fire Chief Rick Kyle and pursue changing the district’s boundaries , going through LAFCO to annex Goose Valley and the Clark Creek Road area. They already handled the calls in the Goose Valley area and were closer to the Clark Creek Road area than Cassel. He was westbound on Highway 299 when he lost control and began dumping his load in the westbound lane. The rig crossed the roadway and went over the side. The rear end of his trailer came to rest within inches of the creek. Laura Gallegos sentenced to one year in Glenn County Jail Laura Gallegos ORLAND - According to the Chico Enter prise-Record, Laura M. Gallegos was given one year in Glenn County Jail, 4-years probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. She pleaded guilty to one count of arranging to have sex with an Orland High School athlete. Gallegos, a resident of Redding and a former resident of Burney originally turned herself in after Glenn County Sheriff ’s investigators got a warrant charging her with having sex with two Orland High School athletes in August 2010.

Like this herd in the Day area, they are beautiful to watch, but not so beautiful when they start lunching in your garden, or crossing the road as you are speeding by. Van den Bergh ordered to send LAFCO needed data By Walt Caldwell Mountain Echo editor FALL RIVER MILLS – The board of directors of the Fall River Valley Community Services District ordered the district’s general manager to mail all of the information Shasta LAFCO had requested in an earlier public records request. The order came during the Wednesday evening meeting and was expected to be carried out Thursday. After being chastised by Director Bill Estes for not following the order given him during the March board meeting to deliver the documents requested within 10 days, General Manager John Van den Bergh was ordered to mail the documents to LAFCO immediately. A LAFCO staff member said they had not received anything from the CSD as of 9:35 a.m. Monday. Chair Bill Johnson said when he and Director Jensen had met with the LAFCO executive officer, she had told them if she got the financial and other information she had requested, they could complete the Municipal Services Review by the fall. Van den Bergh, who wanted LAFCO to pay for the copies of documents requested, wanted to know if he should collect the money up front. Board Chair Bill Johnson said no, that $100 or $200 shouldn’t stand in the way of the district’s ability to make a million and that the district needed LAFCO to complete the municipal service review so they can get their Sphere of Influence taken care of and accomplish the things they wanted to accomplish. Regarding the water mainline replacement, Van den Bergh reported that PACE Engineering is doing the final surveys on the section between the airport and Ray’s Market which will be the first section replaced. Van den Bergh reported that the issue of a secondary well for water was still up in the air and it didn’t look like the Knoch family was going to give the district the needed easement. The district had drilled and put in a well near the current corner of Dee Knoch Road and Fall River-Cassel road a number of years ago, but hadn’t gotten an easement when they did it. Johnson explained that the laws now prohibit the use of pesticides within 100 feet of a potable well. The well is on ranch land and could seriously curtail growing crops near it. Additionally, he pointed out, that the bridge across the Pit River is scheduled to be realigned. Water deeded to the Knoch Ranch is piped across the Pit from the Fall River pond under the bridge. It is highly likely that the water pipe will be moved and reinstalled under the bridge that will be in use. If that is the case, the Knoch’s will undoubtedly extend the ditch that the pipe empties into to meet the new mouth of the pipe. If that occurs the ranch will also dump pesticides into it to keep the algae down. Alternatives such as removing the well, pump and other equipment or selling the well off so someone else could remove it were discussed, but no action was taken. Possibly drilling a well near the golf course’s well, negotiating with the McArthur’s regarding that ranch’s well near the District’s main well or drilling another well in the vicinity of the main well were all discussed but no final action was taken. Estes voiced his displeasure at seeing an invoice for $991.50 from consultant Jan Lopez after seeing one for $900 in March. He pointed out that Quincy Hatch, when he was the board chair, had questioned a bill from her and said that was the last one. Van den Bergh said her contracts called for withholding 10% and paying those monies as she met the milestones required. They were now paying her the amounts withheld. Estes said he wanted copies of her contracts. Considerable time was spent going over the list of priorities set by the board during their retreat last month. The list contained 56 items. Development of the Community Park was added because, as has been previously announced, the district received a $304,000 grant and the property. The Municipal Advisory Committee volunteered to host a public comment forum at their meeting on March 26, 7 p.m. at the Lions Hall in McArthur. Updating plans of the system are the district’s number one priority. Safety equipment such as barricades and cones and a safety harness and lift, required by OSHA to protect the district employees were moved to the top of the list also. The board deleted a display table and handouts for an estimated $3,000 when it was pointed out that the board had turned that request by Van den Bergh down earlier. An expense of $6,000 to work on a grant request for senior housing was also removed from the list because the board had agreed to support the concept of senior housing but not to put any money into it. The board also declined to spend district money to join the Fall River Valley Chamber of Commerce, pointing out that the manager could go to chamber meetings and make comments without being a member and that individual memberships were available. The consensus was that the board members present did not feel comfortable spending rate payer or tax payer money for memberships.

I decided to visit during the weekend of a “severe storm warning”. There are even tornado warnings. I wasn’t too concerned when my Nebraska friend didn’t seem concerned. I decided to be a little nervous when that is all they are talking about on the television. I decided that my son’s house with a basement is much safer than my 3rd story hotel room. Other than the weather…it is great to be here. I got to watch a spring football scrimmage this morning, cook for a houseful of boys, take my son grocery shopping and weather permitting we will go out to dinner tonight. While I am here, there are still plenty of things going on at home. The board of the Fall River Cemetery is seeking donations to trim the trees of the cemetery. They have not been trimmed for over 10 years. The Board has contacted several tree trimmers who quoted prices of $10,000-$5000 to trim the trees. There is one very civic-minded trimmer who will only charge $100 a tree. Money has not been budgeted for this project. The district would like the community to know of this project and would appreciate any help. Andrew of the Mayfly Pub wants to remind everyone of the upcoming clean-up day. He says, “Say so long to the satellite dishes at the end of Reynolds Road. The defunct cable company site will be cleaned up Friday, April 20th thanks to the efforts of the Fall River Valley Community Services District and the friends of the Mayfly. Happy Earth Day and remember everyday is earth day…your life depends on it.” Raider Review By Paige Pfadt BHS correspondent As part of Friday Night Live’s distracted driving campaign, there will be a fact on distracted driving, every week. This week’s “Did you know?” fact is: About 900,000 U.S. teens report they were drivers in at least one crash, within a 12-month period. That’s the wrong kind of experience. If you would like to honor or recognize someone who has survived or passed due to cancer you can see Mrs. Madden or the office to purchase a sun or moon, as part of Megan Lunberry, and Michaela Riley’s senior project, Relay for Life. The suns and moons will be on display at the school as well as out at the track during the relay. Chelle Rodriguez is hosting a blood drive for her senior project. Please come support her, by signing up in the office. The blood drive will take place Wednesday, April 18th.

Fall River sweeps Honkers B3 •Track Meet results B3 •Team records B2 Section B By Ron Mosher Sports Editor arilyn Monroe may have popularized the phrase, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” but for high school girls playing softball the diamonds don’t sparkle and shine, but are the venue where the players sparkle and shine, and a trio of local pitchers are offering some shining moments of their own this spring. For Mandy Lakey, Dante Bertain and Amanda Bricker, pitching is their forte - hurling drop balls, fast balls and curves to batters in northern For local trio, softball is their game and pitching their fame... M Fall River senior hurler Mandy Lakey Tuesday, April 17, 2012 e-mail: echosports@yahoo.com Sports Phone: (530) 339-0320 California, and being labeled the ‘Aces’ of their respective teams. One is a senior wrapping up her high school career this spring, while the other two are freshmen with their four year careers just getting underway. However, you don’t want to jump to the conclusion that the senior hurler has more experience, the younger two have been active in American Softball Association (ASA) ball, and all three have tutored under the direction of the same university pitching coach. Lakey is the veteran of the three, in her fourth and final year pitching for the Fall River Bulldogs, while Bertain is the Burney Raider young star and Bricker of Big Valley looking strong in her first year of hurling softball for the Cardinals. All three are ardent softball players who have and will - thrill their fans during the annual spring rite of softball. Softball is their game! The trio has compiled an early season record of 20 wins while tagged with 11 losses. Not bad considering all three are pitching with young teams playing behind them. Lakey is the strikeout queen among them with 95 whiffs in amassing a 7-5 record. Bertain is close behind with 75 strikeouts and a 6-3 mark. Bricker is also at 6 wins and three losses - pitching every game for her Cardinals. Veteran hurler Lakey got a late start in playing softball, as she didn’t get interested until fifth grade. “I didn’t play T-ball or coach pitch, and wasn’t too interested in playing little league,” she says, “then one day at lunch Hardy Vestal sat down with me and talked me into joining little league.” Ironically, Vestal was later her coach in high school for her first three seasons. Both Bertain and Bricker began at a younger age, both playing T-ball when they were just old enough to pick up a ball and bat, and small enough to have a tough time finding a batting helmet to fit. All three girls have (or will) play ASA ball. Bertain started in ASA when she was 10-years old, first for the Redding Rebels then the North Valley Rapids. During that stint each of her two teams won their championship games and she was on the district championship minor girls All-Star team. Lakey has played three years of ASA ball, “and I was nervous at first,” she quipped, “but I met a lot of new people and made friends that I still have today.” Meanwhile, Bricker will get her first shot at ASA style softball when she joins the North Valley Rapids this summer. With three different girls, you get three different answers when it comes to their most memorable See TRIO / Page B-2 moment in softball. Photos by Ron Mosher The coach who gets the credit_________ Big Valley’s Amanda Bricker, a freshman Burney Raider freshman Dante Bertain “My hero would be my dad. He is my softball coach and my coach in life. He deals with my craziness and loves me through it all.” Dante Bertain, freshman at Burney High School. Wayne Stower, head softball coach of the Simpson University Red Hawks in Redding is credited by all three local softball pitchers with honing their skills. At one time or another he has coached Mandy Lakey, Amanda Bricker and Dante Bertain, and all three give him a world of credit for their pitching prowess. So just who is Wayne Stower? WAYNE According to his biograSTOWER phy on the school’s website, Stower began coaching at Simpson at the beginning of their softball program in 2008. Prior to his current stint at Simpson, Stower was the coach for seven seasons at Foothill high school in Palo Cedro, where he led the Lady Cougars to seven straight section tournaments and won the NSCIF title in 2007.

THE DIAMOND TRIO___________________________________ Continued from B-1 Bricker’s moment she’ll remember for a long time came when she struck out her first high school batter. “That was a thrill,” she noted. When asked if she was intimidated by being so young and facing much older girls at bat, she quickly replied, “not really.” Bertain goes back to her ASA days for most memorable softball moment. “Two years ago we were in the Grants Pass tournament, and had won all our games and made it to the championship game,” she said in an e-mail interview, “There was only onerun separating us, two outs, bases loaded and League STANDINGS BASEBALL Shasta-Cascade League Evergreen League the tying run at third. I had pitched the whole game, and the ball was hit to my shortstop and she quickly threw it to first. It was a close call, but we got the out and the championship.” For Lakey, her most unforgettable moment in softball, “came when I hit a walk-off home run in a tournament at Big League Dreams and put us in the championship game my freshman year.” She continued to note that watching Leah Imhoff blast her first home run earlier this year, “was also a great memory. What a shot it was.” Lakey has but a few more games left to garner memories, but for Bricker and Bertain, they both hope and plan to have many great memories in the next three years. Lakey got her start in softball with a lunchtime talk with Hardy Vestal. However, she also gives credit to her dad, Tim, who played catcher for her during practices at home. Many times in bad weather they moved practice indoors at his shop. “Let’s say I started off throwing about one-inten pitches TO him, and broke a few things in his shop,” before getting the knack down pat. Bricker got interested in the game with help from her big sister, Cheyenne. Cheyenne was the star hurler for the Cardinals for four years, before passing the ball to li’l sis Amanda when she graduated this past June. As Big Valley coach Shari Blatt-Nelson put it in talking about the two red-headed siblings, “I went from having ‘Big Red’ in the lineup with Cheyenne, to ‘Li’l Red’ in Amanda. What more could you ask.” Bertain’s interest in the sport came from watching her Aunt K.C. “She (her aunt KC) was playing softball as I was growing up and my parents often took me to her games and practices.” She also gives credit to her grandfather, “for being a fearless supporter throughout my career.” All three girls also play a couple of other sports in high school namely volleyball and basketball. Lakey was named the MVP of the ShastaCascade League in volleyball this year and has more awards for athletics than you can shake a bat. As for other hobbies, Lakey enjoys travelling being with her friends and family and swimming. Bertain also enjoys relaxing with family and friends and is an avid reader. Younger players may watch Lakey pitch and dream of one day being in the circle and accomplishing great things. It’s hero worship. So who are the ‘hero’s’ to these three hurlers? For Lakey, it was a hard choice to make. “I have so many people in my family that have influenced me in so many great ways help- ing shape who I am today,” she stated. “But, my hero would have to be my brother, Nick. He has always been the best brother anyone could ask for, always being there for me. I really admire the way that he does his own thing, no matter what. he is definitely his own person.” Brother Nick preceded Mandy at Fall River high as a 3-letter athlete, and is now in his third season of playing football for MidlandLutheran college in Nebraska. For Bertain, the hero answer was easy, “My dad.” She elaborated, “He (Anthony) is my softball coach and my coach in life. He deals with my craziness and loves me through it all. I know he will always be my number one supporter and toughest critic. He has an unselfish attitude towards the girls he coaches and the people he is surrounded by everyday, and the level headedness he brings to coaching and his professional life is something I hope to achieve someday.” Bricker was caught short by the question, and shyly said she didn’t have any real ‘Hero.’ You can probably bet the farm, however, that big sister Cheyenne would be somewhere high on her list. The three all maybe good hurlers due to the coaching of Wayne Stower, but they are three totally different individuals. THE COACH WHO GETS CREDIT____________ Continued from B-1 SOFTBALL Shasta-Cascade League Stower began his baseball career at Shasta College in 1975, and completed his first season of minor league baseball with the White Sox organization out of Edmonton, Canada. After two seasons of minor league ball, he moved back to Red Bluff, and continued his fast pitch career. He competed at the highest levels of men’s fast pitch softball for over 20 years, and garnered All-American honors three times. Stower began coaching American Softball Association (ASA) girls softball in 1995, taking seven teams to the elite national championship tournament and finishing as high as 8th. The pitching coach has not been a stranger to the Intermountain Area, conducting clinics in the area over the years. He has also coached all three girls featured in this week’s top story - Mandy Lakey, Amanda Bricker and Dante Bertain. Stower has been married to his wife Kathie for 28 years and has two children, Manny and TJ. And students, coaches and teachers are back to the daily grind as we quickly head into the end of the school year. Amazing how time flies - even if we aren’t particularly having fun. We have a slow week in spring sports for the teams to get back into the swing of things this week. The cancellation of the Burney Spring Classic is a bummer, and hopefully things will be ready for next year’s Classic - as it offers the only local venue for local track and field athletes to strut their stuff before a local fan base. It will be missed. The Fall River Bulldogs’ baseball squad is heading to Etna today (Tuesday) for perhaps the biggest showdown of the year in Shasta-Cascade League play. Etna is at 4-0 in conference battles, while Fall River is nipping at their heels with a 3-1 mark. The pressure is on both teams, and we wish our local guys good luck. The Burney Raiders softball and baseball teams will have only their second home games of the year this Friday - and it will be their last of the season to be played at the base of Burney Mountain. The Raider baseball team dropped out of the Tulelake Tournament, and had games with Fall River and Big Valley, set for earlier this season, cancelled... leaving them to finish the year with a mere 11 games completed. Coach Tony Pellegrino fielded a very young team this year, and when they come back next season they’ll still be young, and because of this year’s schedule a very inexperienced team. Getting the newly indoctrinated private transportation plan instigated has been a confusing situation for Raiders baseball, and hopefully by next year everyone will have figured out how to accommodate the team and their travels. It’s going to be even tougher come fall when football has to figure out how to transport a much larger group of players to away games on Friday afternoons. I would be so forward as to lamely suggest the Raiders and Bulldogs might want to find a volunteer (or volunteers) to head up their football transportation program ahead of their first road games. It’s going to take a large convoy to fit such a large group of players with a ton of equipment baggage into private cars for out-oftown trips. I suggest we all start the planning stages early, as it wouldn’t be a great idea to have a Chinese Fire Drill situation come late August. Young athletes should be concentrating on game plays, not how they’re going to get to the game. AND ON THE OTHER HAND... • A thank you to Bob Jen for pointing out my blunder bust in last week’s column. I referred to an ‘umbrella’ as a ‘bumper shoot’ when in reality the correct term is bumbershoot. Yeah, I have Wikapedia, but just forget to use it - my bad. According to Wikapedia, an alternative format is: Bumberchute. Also according to Wikapedia, the Etymology: Apparently a variation on umbrella and parachute. American in origin, it has become associated with British umbrella’s, but has never been a Briticism. Okay, so I sound like that guy at the National Spelling Bee - Shoot me with your Bumbershoot. File all this information under, “What you never wanted to know and were too afraid to ask.” • Major League baseball is underway, along with NBA games being played. Here we go with those overlapping seasons again. Frankly I could care less about the NBA, but do somewhat enjoy their farm system (ie: college NCAA basketball). However, I am always intrigued by baseball. However, I really wish they’d end the season a little bit earlier, so fans wouldn’t have to sit through snowflakes to watch game seven. Whatever happened to playing the World Series in EARLY October, rather than have it interfere with our national election in early November?

TRACK ACTION... • (upper left) Fall River’s Baylie Peters on way to winning her heat. • (left) FR’s Brennan Gilligan clears hurdle. • (above) Big Valley’s Marco Escareno lets fly with the discus. SHASTA LAKE When you have a track meet toward the end of Spring Break, you can just about imagine what kind of participation or lack of participation you might find. For Burney, Big Valley and Fall River track teams, the numbers were less than you’d find at a meet not held during the annual Easter break. Big Valley had the largest local contingent running, jumping and throwing, while Fall River saw lower than normal participation, and Burney mustered just six - all junior varsity team members. BIg Valley Cardinal varsity girls team took seventh out of the 26 teams participating, thanks to junior Magen Fairchild's second, third and fourth place finishes in running events. Fairchild was second in the 300m hurdles in a time of 40.87, just shy of winner Caitlin McCoy of Corning’s time of 40.53. She finished third in the 400m race in a time of 65.83 and fourth in the 100m hurdles at 17.96. Marco Escareno, a sophomore at Big Valley, took third in the JV boys shot put. For Fall River, Shayann Dowty’s seventh place finish in the long jump (11-10.00) and Brennan Gilligan’s seventh place finish in the 200m (24.45) topped the Bulldogs showing for the day - both in JV competition. Baylie Peters was ninth in the 100m (14.87) and was first in her heat. Gilligan also had a 10th place finish in the 110m hurdles (20.93) after tripping over the final hurdle and summersaulting his way over the finish line in the crowd pleaser of the day. Burney JV Andrew Masters won fourth in the 200m race in a time of 24.30, while Lena Daugherty was 8th in the girls 300m (70.48). Burney and Fall River track teams are idle this week, while Big Valley is at the Chiloquin, Oregon meet Tuesday (today) and at West Valley Friday. Bulldog baseball shoots down Honkers in twin bill sweep McARTHUR - Great pitching and hot bats propelled the Fall River Bulldogs to a 11-1 and 152 sweep of visiting Tulelake here last Tuesday. A trio of Bulldog hurlers held the Honkers to just two hits total in the two games, while Fall River rattled off seven doubles in the nightcap blitz. In the opener, Klay Worthan took the mound and came away with the win, giving up one hit, fanning eight and walking four. The big blast on offense came in the bottom of the fifth, when David Putallaz stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter and blasted a double to score two and abruptly end the game on the 10-run mercy rule. Worthan helped out on offense with a 3-for-4 game, with three RBI’s and one run scored. Austin Reynolds was 2for-4 with a triple and scored twice, while Brad Williams was 1-for-3 with a pair of runs-batted-in. Jesse Lee matched Putallaz with a double of his own, while Clay Pasqual and Ryan Doers each added a single. Doers also walked twice and scored twice. In the nightcap, Fall River out gunned Tulelake, 12-1, on their way to the lopsided 15-2 win. Sterling Humphry, Worthan and Williams each blasted two doubles, with Clay Pasqual nabbing one 2-base hit. Doers smacked a pair of singles, while Christian Mejia and Ismael Velasquez each added a single. Jesse Lee picked up the 1-hit victory, striking out nine and walking only one. Humphry came in to hurl the last inning, striking out two of the three batters he faced. In talking about the first game, coach Leo Estes noted the clutch pinch-hit double by Putallaz, “a good kid who’s playing his first year of baseball since coach-pitch in little league.” “I thought in the first game Tulelake played us tough the first few innings,” summed up Estes, “then our bats got going, and continued to stay hot in the second game.” Fall River, now 3-1 in SCL play and 9-5 overall travel to Etna (4-0, 13-3) for a big showdown game that puts the league lead on the line. “Our pitchers have had seven days rest,” noted Estes, “while Etna just finished four games in a tournament. If we get good defense behind our pitching we should be in good shape for the day.” Photo by Ron Mosher Photo by Ron Mosher OUT AT PLATE... FR pitcher Klay Worthan puts the tag on Tulelake runner after Honker tried to score on a past ball in Friday’s non-conference action. CONGRATULATIONS LEAP... Klay Worthan swamps teammate David Putallaz after he hit two-run double to end the first game Friday in five innings. Lady Bulldogs stop skid with sweep McARTHUR - Fall RIver ended a 4-game losing streak when they swept visiting Tulelake here last Tuesday, dou- bling up on the Lady Honkers in the opener, 1-5, and blasting their way to victory in game two, 13-2. Mandy Lakey picked up the win in game one, going the 7-inning distance striking out 11 in a 4-hitter. Photo by Ron Mosher SAFE IN A CLOUD OF DUST... Fall River Lady Bulldog runner scores on wild pitch in twin bill sweep of visiting Tulelake last Tuesday. Brook Small was 2for-3 with an RBI and two scored, while Leah Imhoff, Cora Venegas Jecca Parker, Lakey and Catie Thompson each had a hit in the win. In game two, Leah Imhoff had a grand slam (her second homer of the season), with five RBI’s and scored two. Emily Vigil was perfect at the plate going 4-for-4 with an RBI and four runs scored. Small and Parker each added two hits, with Small racking up an RBI. Lakey smashed a double, while Maryann Parker and Taylor Corder each added singles in the nightcap victory. Parker was credited with the win, going the full five innings and scattering just three hits while striking out two. For coach Judy Parker, the wins couldn’t have come at a better time, as they get set to head back into league competition following Spring Break. Fall River, looking for their first ShastaCascade League win on the season and 9-7 overall, travel to Etna Tuesday (today) for a twin-bill matchup with the Lady Lions who are also struggling at 1-3 in conference play and 5-6 overall. The league double dip begins at 2 o’clock. Page B4 April 17, 2012 Mountain Echo CLASSIFIED PAGES ""Be wary of out of area companies.
