LETTERS, from page 9B
reduce burning of this materi-
al by Lake Almanor area resi-
dents. Their service is helping
to lessen burning, air pollu-
tion from the smoke and fire
hazard from burning and
dumping.
Collins Pine Company is an
asset and good neighbor to
our community, and many
thanks for stepping up by fill-
ing an important need.

Fed up
I'm positive the front page
of the Portola Reporter will
read something like this,
"Portola City Council decides
to delay rate increases," or
something along those lines.
Well, after a couple hours of
patronizing Portolans, the
City Council did decide to not
move forward with the Propo-
sition 218 process. I can as-
sure you that the increases
are still coming it's just
"when" and "how much" is
what Portolans will have to
wait for.
I have made it a point to ask
why Portolans didn't get a
"choice" to decide which wa-
ter they wanted to drink. And
by "choice" I don't mean com-
ing to a council .meeting and
actually stating a fact of pref-
erence, and then watching the
council decide for themselves
as to what they feel is good for
Portolans!
We have lost our voice as
citizens in this community
thanks to the administration
and council doing backdoor
politics and making deals be-
hind' our backs! When will it
stop? I am thinking never-
until the close-minded people
get off of that council, or allow
people to actually have a
voice in this community, then
I don't foresee any major
changes coming soon.
Myself, I am fed up with the
way things are being allowed.
The mayor has continually al-
lowed people to interrupt me
and demean me during the
"public comment" portion of
meetings. May 11 meeting was
about the topper of the top-
pers. The council had police
at the meeting for the entire
evening and I am still wonder-
ing why anyone would stay
around for three hours for
topics which don't concern
them? Once again the mayor
should be taking more control
over the meetings and not al-
lowing people to interrupt
anyone during their public
comment portion of the agen-
da. It's time for a change!

Lost freedoms
Plumas County is subject to
a lot of non:consent with issues
being forced upon us. The
SmartMeter. I don't want it;
neither do the residents I
spoke with. The health issues
are enough to scare anyone; I
do not want my grandkids ex-
posed to high microwave fre-
quencies that these throw off.
Why were we given an opt-
out option for these, but re-
fused the option when we
called? Write the PUC and
complain, we need to do this
now.
Did you know PG&E throws
chemicals all over qur Basin
to cloud seed; we don't know
what they use? The Almanor
Basin sits in an inversion
area. PG&E states this is safe.
Toxins go up, they come back
down as manmade snow. This
cannot be healthy. PG&E does
this practice on SPI land.
There are no laws
state/federal governing this.
It's absurd.
The forest issue, who
thought of this brilliant idea?
How can they even think
about keeping people out of
the forests? There are laws of
navigation in this land, it is a
constitutional right. Bravo to
Sheriff Hagwood for speaking
up on your oath to protect us,
you got my'vote!
I urge you to step up and be
heard, write your elected offi-
cials. It's up to us, we the peo-
ple, to step up and stop these
injustices for our kids and
for their kids' sake. The Dec-
laration of Independence
RESPONSE, from page 9B
Unfortunately, these im-
proved opportunities for the
public are proposed at the ex-
pense of local government co-
ordination. There is no need
for such a trade-off; the public
can be given the opportuni-
ties that are included in the
new rule, while the role of lo-
cal government can be re-
spected by retaining Section
219.7 of the 1982 rule.
Pace and scale of fuel
treatment: Pacific Southwest
Regional Forester Randy
Moore has called for an in-
crease m the pace and scale
of fuel treatment to 500,000
acres per year in California
to re-establish fire-resilient
forest ecosystems and help
offset climate change im-
pacts on the forests. Unless
fuel treatment efforts are in-
creased dramatically, the
size, number and intensity
of catastrophic wildfires
will continueto grow, pro-
gressively destroying the
Sierra Nevada. Each forest
plan should be required to
quantify acreage progress
and timelines that will be
achieved to restore healthy
forest conditions and main-
tain those conditions on a
sustainable basis.
Given the state of the fed-
eral budget and the unlikeli-
hood that the pace and scale
of necessary fuel treatment
will be supported with ap-
propriated funds, forest
plans should include contin-
gency financing plans that
show how fuel treatments
can be made financially self-
supporting.
