OBITUARY
Shawn Patrick Webb
Plumas
County sher-
iff's deputy
Shawn Webb
passed from
this life to the
next on Feb.
24, 2011, at
his home in Meadow Valley.
He was lovingly held in the
arms of his wife, daughters
and parents. Shawn had
fought a valiant and coura-
geous battle with cancer.
Born May 7, 1973, iri San
Diego, Shawn was raised in
the town of Descanso. He
graduated from Mountain
Empire High School in 1991.
Shawn was raised in the
country with a gun in his
hand and a love for shooting.
He was a soccer player and
skateboarder. If he wasn't in
a hotrod, he was on his dirt
bike in the desert. There
wasn't a tractor in the area
that went without his atten-
tion.
Shawn had a lifelong
dream of becoming a police
officer. After graduating
from the police academy
in 1995, he served the resi-
dents of E1 Cajon as a mem-
ber of the police department
as a reserve for three years
and then as a sworn officer
starting in May 2000.
In July 2008, Shawn began
a career with the Plumas
County Sheriff's Depart-
ment, serving the residents
of the county with kindness,
compassion and purpose, af-
fecting many on a level that
is hard to comprehend. He
earned respect from' those on
both sides of the law.
Shawn met Chrissy at age
11 in Descanso, and they
loved each other for many
years before getting married
in 1995. They had two beauti-
ful daughters together. They
got the best part of him.
Shawn had many friends
who adored him because of
his generous and comical na-
ture. He considered all of his
friends family. He was a lov-
ing husband, father, son and
friend. The memories he
made whether touching or
funny will resonate forever
in all he knew.
He leaves behind to carry
on his legacy his wife of al-
most 16 years, Chrissy; the
pride of his life, his daugh-
ters Courtney, 15, and
Samantha, 13; and his father
and step-mom, Tom and Sam
Webb, of Descanso. He also
leaves behind too many
friends to count. We are bet-
ter for having known him.
He joins his mother
MaryAnn in heaven.

BLM to reform wild horse program
Patrick Shillito
Staff Writer
pshillito@lassennews.com
The Bureau of Land Man-
agement will be fundamen-
tally reforming its Wild
Horse and Burro manage-
ment program, after an an-
nouncement from BLM Di-
rector Bob Alley Thursday,
Feb. 24.
After reviewing more than
9,000 comments made to the
BLM since June 2010, Abbey
said it became clear that fun-
damental changes need to be
made.
"We need to move ahead
with reforms'that build upon
what's working in this pro-
gram and move away from
what is not," Abbey said.
"We need to base our man-
agement decisions on a foun-
dation of good science, and
we need to encourage and ex-
pand our partnerships to
help us in this program."
Abbey said the BLM has
asked the National Academy
of Sciences to review the pro-
gram and recommend ways
to proceed with it. Abbey
said the study would take
roughly two years.
Abbey said for the dura-
tion of the study, the BLM
would be reducing the num-
ber of wild horses that it will
be removing on an annual
basis from 10,000 to about
7,600. Abbey said this would
essentially maintain the cur-
rent number of wild horses
and burros on the range.
"The only caveat to this
might be if we have a
drought or other emergency
that would require the re-
moval of more than the
planned 7,600," Abbey said.
Abbey said the BLM is also
planning on significantly in-
creasing the number of
mares treated with fertility
control drugs. Abbey said
the BLM was looking to in-
crease the number of mares
from the 500 treated in 2009
to a target of 2,000 each year
for the next two years.
"This assumes sufficient
budget allocations," Abbey
said. "The ultimate goal is to
make various fertility con-
trol measures the primary
means to maintain healthy
population levels."
Abbey said the BLM plans
to work closely with the Hu-
mane Society of the United
States to implement and
monitor the efforts.
Within the next 30 days,
Abbey said the BLM was
planning on releasing the
specific steps necessary for
members of the public to fol-
• low if they're interested in
providing long-term care for
any of the wild horses re-
moved during the next two
years.
Abbey Said the BLM will
also be partnering with the
Mustang Heritage Foufida-
tion to increase the number
of adoptions from the BLM's
estimated 3,000 it plans to
adopt out this year to more
than 4,000.
Public Affairs Officer with
the BLM Northern Califor-
nia District Jeff Fontana
said there was no way of
knowing just yet how this
will affect the lands managed

by the BLM's Eagle Lake
Field Office, as the field of-
fice doesn't have any round.
ups planned for this year in
the .immediate area of Su-
sanville and Lassen County.
"We tentatively have
something we're working on
for High Rock Canyon,
which is out of the Nevada
part of the area managed by
our office out of Cedarville,"
Fontana said, "but we're not
sure about that yet."
Fontana said the last time
the Eagle Lake Field Office
conducted a round up was
during a six-week period in
August and September of
2010, when crews captured
1,637 wild horses and re-
moved 1,579 from around the
Twin Peaks range, which
Fontana said basically ex-
tends from the base of the
Skedaddle Mountain all the
way up to Buckhorn Road,
east of Ravendale.
Abbey said that after
spending a great amount of
time reviewing the com-
ments, it was made very
clear that people were pas-
sionate about the wild hors-
es, and the BLM was able to
come to what he called
straightforward conclusions.
"When I first came on
board as the Director for the
Bureau of Land Manage-
ment, Secretary (of the U.S.
Department of Interior Ken)
Salazar sat down and we dis-
cussed several goals that we
wanted to accomplish during
our time. One of those goals
was to take a top to bat{am
look at the wild horse and
burro program, and if neces-
sary take responsive and
bold actions to ensure the
,health of these much loved
symbols of the west" and the
rangelands on which they
and so many people and re-
sources depend."
