u.el weonesclay, July b, ZU11 Indian Valley Record
Large, colorful bumblebees and dragonflies buzzed the stall of
Joybird Creations during the weekly farmers market. The mar-
ket starts at 5 p.m., when the bell rings, and runs until dark-
thirty. In addition to the farmers and vendors, there is plenty
of food and music.
Throughout the summer Thursday night is farmers market night on the school district lawn in Quincy. On June 30, LaVioletta
Farms, of Gridley, featured plenty of fresh peaches, pluots and nectarines, as well as summer squash, while Yang Produce had
plenty of onions, radishes and greens. Photos by Mona Hill

all summer long

tertainment and conversation -- something for everyone.
Fire safe council to meet in Quincy July 14
The Plumas County Fire
Safe Council (PCFSC) will
hold its regularly scheduled
monthly meeting Thursday,
July 14, at the Plumas Coun-
ty Planning and Building
Services office, 555 Main St.
in Quincy, from 9 to 11 a.m.
At the July meeting, the
council will discuss progress
toward current wildfire mit-
igation projects and contin-
ue to review efforts of the
Community Wildfire Protec-
tion Plan. Current wildfire
mitigation projects include
the Elderly and Disabled De-
fensible Space Assistance
program and hazardous fuel
reduction projects in the
communities of Indian Val-
ley, Long Valley, Whitehawk
and C Road.
Council members want to
remind residents that a
key part of fire season is
beginning in Plumas Coun-
ty: lightning season. Re-
member 2008? It is not
uncommon for Plumas
County to experience five
to 25 fires in one day, and
there have been days in
which more than 50 fires
have started. On many occa-
sions, suppression resources
have been insufficient to
attack all the fires and
consequently a number of
them have gotten very large,
burning a significant num-
ber of acres.
Therefore, PCFSC re-
minds residents that now is
a good time to:
--Review defensible space.
--Make sure roads, drive-
ways and houses are well
signed with reflective letters
and numbers.
-:Learn evacuation
routes.
--Create a family plan on
how and where to evacuate
and meet up.
PCFSC invites residents
with an interest in prevent-
ing and mitigating impacts
from wildland fires to their
homes or communities to
become members. The I coun-
cil is a coalition of citizens,
businesses, fire departments
and representatives of local,
state and federal government
agencies. The mission of the
council is "to reduce the loss
of natural and manmade re-
sources caused by wildfire
through Firewise Communi-
ty programs and pre-fire ac-
tivities."

tion on council activities,
