QUILTS. rom page 1B
b THT launches fundraiser
"Mountain Poppies" is Quincy Crazy Quilters' 2011 Opportunity Quilt. It will be on display at the
guild's quilt show, Crazy About Quilts" May 21 - 22, at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds.
Show visitors will have an opportunity to buy drawing tickets to win this quilt.
Feather River 4-H and Quincy Crazy Quilters have worked together to paint and mount quilt
squares like the ones they are putting up on historical barns around American Valley. UC Cooper-
ative Extension (UCCE) awarded a $2,000 grant to help with costs. Back row: Cindy Edwards, 4-H
grant writer and quilt guild member. Front row, from left: Lucia Biunno, UCCE Plumas-Sierra 4-H

Guild member and funding organizer; and Carolyn Kenney, guild member and the original force

Plumas Arts plans a series
of special events for the Town
Hall Theatre in the coming
months.
As soon as the weather set-
tle, the cultural heart of
downtown Quincy will be
power-washed and caulked
and primed in preparation
for a new coat of paint. The
new paint has been made pos-
sible with a grant written and
awarded to the Feather River
College SIFE (Students in
Free Enterprise) group from
an opportunity offered by the
Lowe's corporate giving pro-
gram. The grant will cover
the bulk of the cost of the
prep and paint materials.
Then -- mimicking Tom
Sawyer -- Plumas Arts, with
help from the Quincy Cham-
ber, SIFE and devoted Town
Hall Theatre fans, will roll
and brush the primer, paint
and trim. The Townhall Asso-
ciation, building owners
since the 1870s, will fund nev¢
front doors and refurbishing
of the box office. Plumas Arts
will see that the movie poster
kiosks and the street front fa-
cade of the building get a
good "sprucing up."
If enough sun and warmth
allows, this portion of the
project will be celebrated
with a comedy night benefit
presented by Plumas Arts
featuring Cole Young and
friends on June 25. That ben-
efit performance will then
kick off fundraising cam-
paign to rebuild the marquee
and the old Art Deco style
Town Hall Theatre tower.
Cole Young grew up in
Quincy and has been living
in Los Angeles for the last 25
years. In Los Angeles he has
performed and starred in
more than 20 different stage
plays, appeared several times
on national television and
has performed standup come-
dy. He has also appeared in
comedy clubs around the
country in Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago, Detroit, New York,
Portland, Reno, Sacramento
and Seattle over the past i0
years where he has become
known for his unique take on
his- and everyone else's-
life.
Cole .Young is the son of
Stanley "Spike" Young. Spike
was a local celebrity: judge,
lawyer, local character and
for many years president of
th6 Townhall Association. It
was Spike's desire that the
• theatre tower be replaced, so
in many ways, this effort is
being made by the Townhall
Association and Plumas Arts
in tribute to him.

POEM OF THE WEEK
American Life in Poetry
Ted Kooser
U:S. Poet Laureate, 2004 - 06
When I was a little boy, the fear of polio hung over my
summers, keeping me away from the swimming pool.
Atomic energy was then in its infancy. It had defeated
Japan and seemed to be America's friend. Jehanne Dubrow,
who lives and teaches in Maryland, is much younger than L
and she grew.up under the fearsome cloud of what atomic
energy was to become.
Chernobyl Year
We dreamed of glowing children,
their throats alive and cancerous,
their eyes like lightning in the dark.
We were uneasy in our skins,
sixth grade, a year for blowing up,
for learning that nothing contains
that heat which comes from growing,
the way our parents seemed at once
both tall as cooling towers and crushed
beneath the pressure of small things
family dinners, the evening news,
the dead voice of the dial tone.
Even the ground was ticking.
The parts that grew grew poison.
Whatever we atebecame a stone.
Whatever we said was love became
plutonium, became a spark
of panic in the buried world.
