Hagwood praises correction officers' achievements
Dan McDonald

Correction officers Consue-
lo Cisneros and Rebecca Steen
were singled out for praise by
Plumas County Sheriff Greg
Hagwood last week.
Cisneros, the training man-
ager for the county's correc-
tional facility, was touted for
bringing the department up to
state standards.
Steen, the newest member
of the department, graduated
May 4 from the Yuba College
correctional academy where
she garnered several awards.
"I'm very proud of both of
them," Hagwood said. "It's a
tremendous help to me and
my administration when
we've got staff with the
strengths that they have."
Cisneros faced the daunting
task of bringing the depart-
ment's training program up to
state standards.
Hagwood said the program
failed to meet the standards
last year. He said fixing the
problem was obviously a pri-
ority, and the pressure to fix
the problem was placed
squarely on Cisneros' shoul-
ders.
"She worked under a lot of
pressure, quite candidly, from
me," Hagwood said. "To her
credit, she stepped up to the
plate and did a phenomenal
job. I'm really proud of her ac-
complishments."
Cisneros, who was responsi-
ble for training 21 people, ac-
complished the goal while still
performing her regular duties
in the corrections department.
"That required a tremen-
dous effort," Hagwood said.
"We don't have any excess
staff. So, for her to identify the
training needs and schedule
around 21 people's existing
work schedules, and bring us
into compliance with the
state, was just a huge accom-
plishment."
Although Cisneros was the
one doing the teaching, she
said it was a learning experi-
ence as well.
"It has opened up a lot of
things for me in this depart-
ment," Cisneros said. "It ex-
panded my knowledge of what
is necessary for us to be in
compliance and how impor-
tant it is to have everybody
trained."
Steen, who has been with
the sheriff's office for six
months, was a standout at the
correctional academy.
She graduated fourth out of
35 students and was honored
for finishing first in her class
for "best female defensive tac-
tics" and "best report writ-
ing."
"Rebecca did an outstand-
ing job at the academy, repre-
senting the sheriff's depart-
ment very well," Hagwood
said. "She has distinguished
herself very quickly here at
the sheriff's department as a
tremendous asset to the staff
at the correctional center.',
Steen, who is a 2006 gradu-
ate of Quincy High School,
said she loves her new job.
"I love working with the
staff that we have," Steen said.
• "And I really appreciate the
environment that they create.
I'm really glad to be a part of
it."
Hagwood said the feeling is
mutual.
"We are just incredibly

proud of her accomplish-
ments and the great job
she has done here in such
a short time," he said. "She's
a very natural fit with the
staff. And very quickly has
distinguished herself as a
leader and is taking on added
responsibilities."

RAC to meet July 8
The Plumas County Re- For further information

(RAC) will meet July 8, 9 a.m. -
1:30 p.m., in the Mineral Build-
ing at the Plumas-Sierra Coun-
ty Fairgrounds in Quincy.
The purpose of the meeting
is to review applications sub-
mitted for next Year's funding
(Cycle 11) and make funding
recommendations to the
Plumas and Lassen national
forest supervisors.
Approximately $510,000
worth of projects has been
submitted for $400,000 in fund-
ing. Projects must benefit lo-
cal trails, roads, forest health,
watershed, and fish and
wildlife habitat on Forest Ser-
vice lands in Plumas County.
The public is welcome to ob-
serve and comment during ap-
plicable comment periods.

special needs or to request
copies of the submitted pro-
jects, contact Lee Anne
Schramel Taylor at 283-7850.
For other information about
the legislation or the Resource
Advisory Committee, go to
fs.usda.gov/plumas. The
RAC was originally estab-
lished as a provision of the Se-
cure Rural Schools and Com-
munity Self-Determination
Act of 2000. The law (Public
Law 106-393) replaced an
arrangement that gave coun-
ties 25 percent of Forest Ser-
vice receipts from logging,
grazing, recreation and other
activities on national forest
lands. This is the last funding
cycle; it remains unclear if the
legislation will beextended.
