ta l crash
A 96-year-old Paradise man died Friday, June 17, when the 1995 Saturn Ion he was driving
ran off the road and into the river in the Feather River Canyon. Virgil G. Chambers was dri-
ving westbound on Highway 70 just east of Rodgers Flat when he lost control around a
slight left curve and started to fishtail. He was unable to correct and drove off the road and
down the south embankment. Chambers suffered major head and chest trauma. His pas-
senger, Shirley M. Chambers, 72, of Magalia, sustained moderate injuries. Photo by Will Farris

Moving firewood can
spread invasive species
An act as simple as trans-
porting firewood can lead to
widespread devastation.
The Pacific Southwest Re-
gion Forest Health Protection
staff of the U.S. Forest Service
recently completed a report
that will soon be published en-
titled, "Firewood Movement
-- A Threat to California's
Forests?"
The report notes that since
2008 the California Depart-
ment of Food and Agriculture
(CDFA) has inspected and
recorded details on firewood
entering the state through 16
agricultural border protection
stations. These sta-
tions have recorded approxi-
mately 24,062,000 pounds of
firewood in over 10,600 indi-
vidual loads entering the state
between 2008 and 2010.. Over
the same three-year period, a
total of 391 pests were prevent-
ed from reaching over 150
named destinations (with the
vast majority in California).
How the public can help:
--Leave firewood at home;
do not transport it to camp-
grounds or parks.
--Use firewood from local
sources.
--Those who have moved
firewood should burn all of it
before leaving their campsite.
Some of the notable species
that were intercepted on fire-
wood include emerald ash bor-
er and gypsy moth, both of
which were transported to
California illegally in viola-
tion of nationwide Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Ser-
vice quarantines.
The report found that fire-
wood in private vehicles was
almost 10 times more likely to
be denied entry into the state
and/or confiscated than com-
mercial loads of firewood.
Firewood transported to Cali-
fornia came from 45 states,
Canada and Mexico. Almost
600 unique destinations were
listed for firewood entering
California.
Nearly every major urban
area in California was repre-
sented, as well as at least five
national parks and five na-
tional forests within the state.
Top destinations to which fire-
wood bearing potential pests
were being transported were
the greater Los Angeles urban
area (75 forest pests), the
Sacramento urban area (36),
the San Diego urban area (32),
Crescent City and Fresno (24
each), and the San Francisco-
Oakland urban area (23).
As a single dramatic exam-
ple, last July, a couple from
Michigan was stopped in their "
RV at the Topaz border station
(south of Lake Tahoe). Inside
their vehicle was ash firewood
containing adult and larval
emerald ash borers. This is
the farthest this invasive exot-
ic species has been carried
and detected from its federal
quarantine area in the North-
east and upper Midwest,
where it has killed millions of
urban trees and cost munici-
palities and homeowners bil-
lions of dollars in tree re-
moval costs and lost property
values.
Even insects native to the
Unitedtates can become dev-
astating pests if moved to an
adjacent state. Less than half
(46.6 percent) of the wood bor-
ers native to Arizona also oc-
cur in California. The gold.
spotted oak borer is a wood
borer native to southeastern
Arizona that was introduced
into San Diego County in the
early 2000s, most likely from
firewood. In its new environ-
ment this beetle infests at
least four new host species of
oak that have no co-evolved
defense mechanisms; the re-
sult has been tens of thou-
sands of trees killed with no
known mechanism for con-
taining the insect's spread.

Northeastern Rural Health Clinics
A MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PHARMACY SERVICES:
Northeastern Rural Health Clinics has been serving the residents of
Lassen County since 1977. As a private non-profit community health
center, it is our mission to serve all patients regardless of their pay
source. • To help us better serve our patients, we partnered with
Owens Healthcare in February to operate a pharmacy in our facility
on Spring Ridge Drive, next to Banner Lassen MedicalCenter.
Owens shares our philosophy Of serving patients in the best possible
way and offers outstanding customer service, free delivery, and the
opportunity to save money on prescriptions. Northeastern patients
have the opportunity to utilize a discount card, and non-Northeastern
patients can utilize Owens' own drug discount program, giving every
patient the very best price on their medications. Owens also provides
prescript!on compounding when a patient's medical provider requests
something special be prepared for them.
Our relationship with Susanville Family Pharmacy ended when they
closed in January. Owens Pharmacy is owned and operated by a
completely different organization that is service and patient oriented.
I make this distinction because I have heard this expressed by pa-•
tients - it's "the old pharmacy with a new name" - far from it!
So the next time you need a prescription filled, I am hoping you will
give Owens a try. I think you will be suitably impressed with both the
service and the cost savings. Like us, they accept insurances, Medi-
Cal, Medicare, and offer their discount program to those without in-
surance. Owens Pharmacy can be reached at 252-4315.
