Volunteers ensure clean water ':;tar':s here'
A total of 98 local volun-
teers in the upper Feather
River watershed joined thou-
sands of volunteers statewide
for the annual Califorriia
Coastal and Great Sierra
River Cleanups, scouring
beaches and riverbanks to
collect paper trash, glass
bottles, plastic bags and other
items Sept. 17.
In the upper Feather River
watershed, 24 miles of water-
ways were cleared of garbage
in Quincy, Chester, Graeagle
and Portola.
Eighteen Plumas Charter
School students and staff
jump-started efforts during
the school week cleaning
up Spanish Creek at the
Oakland Camp Bridge, the
Middle Fork Feather River
along the Portola River Walk,
and the North Fork Feather
River in Chester Park.
Six dedicated Trout Unlim-
ited volunteers led the charge
in Graeagle along the Middle
Fork Feather River, while
Chester volunteers cleaned
up along the North Fork
Feather River and around
Lake Almanor, and Quincy
volunteers hit the banks of
SPanish, Boyle and Gansner
creeks.
Ninety-two bags of waste
were shoved in Dumpsters

BUDGET, from page 1A
employees would be absorb-
ing cuts from furloughs, the
board opted for across-the-
board 4 percent cuts, with
the exception of the sheriff's
office.
The 4 percent cut will come
in the form of a reduced
county contribution to the
employees' retirement plan.
The cut must be approved
by the unions.
Another late change in-
volved moving $1 million
from the Mental Health
Department reserves to help
pay for anticipated health-
related costs associated with
AB 109 (state inmate realign-
ment).
Before the final budget was
passed, the county's mental
health director, John Sebold,
warned that taking $1 million
fromthe Mental Health trust
fund couldbe a risky move.
"The purpose of that
Mental Health trust fund is
catastrophic loss, and coming
right back to the general
fund."
Title III funds
The supervisors approved
an allocation of funds
totaling $820,710 to three
applicants for 2011 Title Ill,
Secure Rural School and
Community Self-Determina-
tion Act money.
The Plumas County Fire
Safe Council and Plumas
Corporation received a total
of $120,000.
The county received
$628,230 for the Firewise Pro-
gram and the Community
Wildfire Protection Plans.
The sheriffs office received
$250,000 for search and
rescue activities.
New forest supervisor
Earl Ford was introduced
as the new Plumas National
Forest supervisor.
Ford, who began the local
job Sept. 19, was most recently
working for the Forest Ser-
vice in Vancouver, Wash.
The Louisiana native
said he has a great deal of
experience in watershed
restoration.
He has worked in Nebraska,
North Carolina, Texas, Alaska
and Puerto Rico.
"I'm sort of a career Forest
Service kid," Ford said. "I
look forward to knowing a lot
more about the issues here in
Plumas County."

collected watershed-wide.
In addition to the cleanup,
Quincy volunteers installed
two pet waste stations on
Spanish Creek Road and
Railway Street along the bike
path to encourage pet owners
to help protect the water
quality of local streams by
cleaning up after their
dogs.
The Feather River Coordi-
nated Resource Management
organization of Plumas
Corporation thanked all the
hardworking 98 local volun-
teers, and the many event
partners and sponsors.
Without the help and
support of partners, sponsors
and local volunteers this
project would not have been
such a success, said Feather
River CRM Monitoring Coor-
dinator Kara Rockett.

truly endorse the 'Clean
Water Starts Here' motto
