2C Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Jason Crosby of Quincy continues to race well in the Dwarf competition. Photo by Shannon Morrow Races sponsored by a good neighbor Larry F. Douglas Contributor American Valley Speedway "Like a good neighbor State Farm is there" was the theme of the Saturday night race July 9 at American Val- ley Speedway in Quincy. Richard Stockton, State Farm agent in Quincy, spon- sored the races. The 2011 racing season has been one of neighbors helping keep racing exciting in Plumas County. Our neighbors and friends have made it all pos- sible. Drivers from inside and outside Plumas County make the trip to race. They and their crews make for a series of competitive events. Saturday we saw the return in the IMCA Modifieds of the Pearson racing team with Billy Pearson and Jay Sears. Erica Harmon from Chester was back in her groove. Bobby Higgins from Beckwourth is still running. Danny Johnson from Porto- la returned for his first race this year. The IMCA Modified race had 13 cars in the main event. Richard Papenhausen in car 4P walked away with the big money. Mitch Mur- phy in car 7M took second with the other car 7 of Jeff Olschowka in hot pursuit. Russell Rosario in car 33R, Bob Higgins in 13H, Erica Harmon in car 69 and Shay- na Robertson in car 97 rounded out the top eight finishers. The Dwarf races had the local competition between Portola's Jess Van Kol and Quincy's Jason Crosby. Joe Frock in car 16 was the big winner of both main events. In the "B" main Derek Rosse in car 40 took second with Jess Van Kol in car 84 in third. The "A" main had Ja- son Crosby in car 2 in sec- ond and Derek Rosse in third. Chase Neiman's car is burning money for a new motor and is expected to be back for the next race. The Mini Heat and main races finished with the same order. Larry Whitebird from Susanville in car 97 fin- ished first. Adams Walters in the 3 car of Ashley Neiman finished second land Brit- tney Neiman in car 8 fin- ished third. Brittney did an excellent job of keeping Whitebird in third for a peri- od of the race. The faster car finally got the win. The second annual Lawn- mower Race brought laugh- ter and cheers from the grandstands. They were smoking, stalling and doing wheel lifts as they motored through a course of pylons. Portola's drivers mowed over their competition. Gar- rett Powell was in first and Allen Dias was in second. There is a summer break. The next race is the second annual Dale Lancaster Memorial Race to the Quin- cy Fire Department. It is scheduled for Saturday, July 30.

New technologies change many things. But not everything. You may surf, search, shop and blog online, but you still read community newspapers. And you're far from alone. A recent survey of towns with a newspaper's circulation was 8,000 or less: • 81 percent of those surveyed read their local newspaper each week. • Those readers, on average, share their paper with 2.36 additional readers. • They spend about 40 minutes reading their local paper. • 78 percent read most or all of their community newspaper. • Nearly 40 percent keep th'eir community newspaper more than a week • 62 percent of readers read local news very often in their community newspapers, while 54 percent say they never read local news online. • 60 percent say the community newspaper is the primary source of information about their community. • 70 percent somewhat or strongly agree they prefer to read newspaper ads than view ads on the internet • Eight out of 10 adults took action as a result of newspaper advertising in the past 30 days. Rather than being displaced by "instant" media, community newspapers are the perfect complement. We do what the internet doesn't. This is not the portrait of a dying industry. No medium covers a community like the local newspaper. Community newspapers also remain the number one medium for driving purchase consideration and intent. And that's essential in every product. including 'coffee. We'll always be here for your. 287 Lawrence Street, Quincy. CA • 283-0800 I Grand Ave., Susanville. CA • 25%5321 Greenville.

Wttwood, CA * 258-:3115 Park Superintendent Dar- lene M. Koontz announced recently that the main road through Lassen Volcanic National Park would not be open for through traffic for at least another week. Park road crews have cleared snow past the Lassen Peak parking area and are pro- ceeding downhill toward Kings Creek Meadows. "We anticipated snow re- moval in this downhill sec- tion at the rate experienced in past years, and along this portion of the road we nor- mally have less than 10 feet, but there are depths of 12 to 15 feet, which has increased the time to finish clearing snow off the remaining six miles of roadway," said Koontz: The scenic park road is open 12 miles [o the Summit Lake Area from the Man- zanita Lake Entrance and seven miles to the Bumpass Hell Trailhead parking area from the Southwest En- trance. Parking at these clo- sures is somewhat limited and RVs and trailers should not go beyond the Devastat- ed Area on the north side as turnaround space is limited. The first 1.3 miles of the popular Lassen Peak Trail are open to the "Grandview" location and only over snow travel on skis and snowshoes to the summit. The over snow travel will be challenging for those wishing to reach the summit. Hikers will find that to climb Lassen Peak may require an ice axe, crampons and helmet for their safety. Many of the park trails still have snow coverage, including Bumpass Hell Trail, but vis- itors will still be able enjoy hiking along trails in the Manzanita Lake, Warner Valley and Butte Lake ar- eas. All campgrounds in the park, except for the Summit Lake and Juniper Lake campgrounds, are now open. Staff anticipates that these remaining campgrounds will open in the next couple of weeks. The road to Ju- niper Lake is still snow cov- ered and not passable by au- tomobiles. The Kohm Yah- mah-nee Visitor Center and Loomis Museum are open daily and visitors will find concession-run facilities at the visitor center's Lassen Cafe & Gifts, Manzanita Lake Camper Store & Cab- ins and Drakesbad Guest Ranch in full operation.
