CHP REPORT
Struck by truck, Sept. 16
At 3:40 p.m., on Highway 70
just east of the Spanish Creek
Bridge construction site,
Arron Hale, 26, of Sparks,
Nev., was driving a 2007 Ford
F-250 eastbound at a stated
speed of 40 mph. Gorm
Larsen, 70, of Qualicum
Beach, British Columbia,
Canada, was riding a 2008
BMW RI200GS motorcycle
westbound in the same
area at a stated speed of 35
mph.
Hale was traversing a left-
to-right curve in the roadway
and Larsen was traversing
the same curve from right to
left from the opposite direc-
tion. Due to Hale's proximity
to the center double yellow
lines, his driver's side mii-ror
was extending into the west-
bound lane, directly into
Larsen's path, according to
the California Highway
Patrol report. As they passed
by one another, Hale's mirror
struck Larsen on the left
shoulder.
Larsen then traveled onto
the north shoulder of the
highway and collided with a
metal/wood guardrail, con-
tinued across the westbound
lane and was ejected from his
motorcycle. Both Larsen and
the motorcycle slid across the
westbound lane and came to
rest in the eastbound lane.
Hale pulled over, made a
U-turn and came back to
the collision scene. He then
assisted Larsen with the
removal ofhe bike from the
road to a dirt turnout on the
north side.
Hale was wearing a seat
belt; Larsen was wearing a
helmet. Larsen complained of
pain to his left shoulder and
said he would seek his own
medical aid.
Struck a tree, Sept. 16
At 6:55 p.m., a 14-year-old
boy, of Quincy, was driving a
1998 Ford Contour eastbound
on Chandler Road.
According to the CHP,
for an unknown reason he
made a sudden turn to the
right and ran off the south
shoulder of the roadway and
struck a tree. The vehicle
came to rest against a tree
facing east.
The driver complained of
pain in his left hand. His
18-year-old passenger com-
plained of pain in his left
arm. A 13-year-old passenger
-- the only party not wearing
a seat belt -- sustained a
head laceration. A third
passenger, also 13, was not
injured. All parties were
transported to Plumas
District Hospital in Quincy
for treatment and as a
precaution.
Property damage, Sept. 16
An unknown driver in an
unknown vehicle was parked
south of the dining patio at
Coyote Grill restaurant in
Graeagle during the late
evening or early morning
hours of Sept. 16 - 17.
According to the CHP, the
driver accelerated over the
parking curb, through the
bushes and into a wooden
rail. There were no known
witnesses to the incident.
Harley into ditch, Sept. 17
Rose LaBrake, 56, of
Oroville, was riding a 2007
Harley Davidson motorcycle
southbound on La Porte Road
at 12:20 p.m. She was travel-
ing at the stated speed of 25
mph, 3.8 miles south of High-
way 70.
As LaBrake went around a
sharp right-to-left curve, she
was leaning left and dragged
the left side of the motor-
cycle's frame along the
asphalt. She counter-steered,
straightening the motorcycle
upright, left the west road
edge and entered a drainage
ditch, according to the CHP.
The motorcycle continued
southwest and traveled up a
steep slope before falling onto
its right side. The bike came
to rest with the front wheel
facing south.
LaBrake was pinned be-
neath the bike and was
assisted by other motor-
cyclists. She found it difficult
to walk as time passed and
emergency personnel were
summoned to the scene.
She was transported to
Plumas District Hospital
with moderate injuries. She
was wearing a helmet.
Overturned, Sept. 20
At approximately 2:35 p.m.,
Joanne Taddei, 58, of Green-
ville, was driving a 1996
Ford Explorer westbound on
Highway 70 just west of
Quarry Road.
For unknown reasons, ac-
cording to the CHP, Taddei
allowed the vehicle to leave
the roadway and veer onto
the north shoulder.
The Ford then struck a
large boulder on the shoulder
and overturned. Emergency
personnel were dispatched to
the scene.
Taddei complained of pain
to the chest, neck, clavicle
and stomach and was trans-
ported to Plumas District
Hospital. She was wearing
a seat belt. The collision
remains under investigation.
Collision, Sept. 22
This collision occurred
at the intersection of Beck-
wourth Genesee Road and
Main Street in Beckwourth at
approximately 5:05 p.m.
Andrea White, 34, of
Beckwourth, was traveling
southbound on Beckwourth
Genesee Road in a 2007
Toyota at a stated speed
of 25 - 30 p.m. She was
approaching the uncontrolled
intersection with Main
Street.
Richard Gepford, 61, also of
Beckwourth, was traveling
westbound on Main Street in
a 2006 Dodge, approaching
the intersection with Beck-
wourth Genesee Road.
According to the CHP,
White entered the inter-
section and Gepford failed to
see her approaching from the
opposite direction. Gepford
entered the intersection and
quickly applied his brakes.
White veered to the right in
an attempt to avoid a colli-
sion. The front of Gepford's
Dodge struck the left front
fender of White's Toyota.
After the collision, White
veered southwest and drove
through a wire fence at 169
Beckwourth Genesee Road,
continued through the yard
and struck a wood cabin.
Both parties were wearing
seat belts. White was trans-
ported to Eastern Plumas

Dear Parents,
Our opening weeks have been filled with fantastic news for our schools, and many enjoyable events bringing
families and staff together to celebrate the starting of school.
Back to School Nights
This year most of our high schools made a decision to hold their Back to School Night within the first few-
days of school. While I was not able to attend all events, I would like to express my gratitude to our families
who were able to attend and support their children. The beginning of the school year is a significant event in
a child's life - often filled with joy, excitement and anxiety. To see the large turnout of high school parents at
the Quincy, Greenville and Portola events truly shows the dedication our families have to their children and
schools.
While each of our high schools had a unique focus for their Back to School event I would like to highlight
three specific events which I found powerful.
Quincy High School made a decision to hold its Back to School event the week prior to school beginning.
While attending the event I found the gym packed with families for the initial orientation. During this time,
school teams were introduced to the community, students conducted activities to engage the audience, and
the principal introduced school staff and congratulated special guests who have made significant contribu-
tions to the school.
Portola High School held its Back to School event on the opening day of school. This event was combined
with tours and a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the new cafeteria. Parents and families were invited to meet
with staff, review schedules, and participate in a meet and greet with the architects for the new cafeteria
project. I personally found the Portola High School event engaging and well attended by the community.
Greenville High held its Back to School event during the second week of school. Parents and students were
treated to a special opening music event by the band. Mr. Norman and students played awonderful piece of
music that highlighted the various talents of students.
Our elementary schools' held various back to school nights throughout the district to allow parents and
students to meet their new teacher(s), and ask questions about the school and its programs. Parent clubs
officers were available to assist and encourage parents to get more involved in the school's activities.
My compliments and gratitude to our staff and parents for taking the time to attend our beginning school
events. I invite each of you to stay involved by regularly attending your school's events.
Academic Performance Index - State Testing
Once again our district schools outperformed almost all schools in the entire north state, on the achievement
tests. I am very proud of the direction our schools are headed and the training our teachers are using within
their classrooms. While some families have chosen other means for their child's education, the fact remains
- Plumas Unified School District is one of the top in the state and continues to provide wonderful opportunities
for students of all ages.
Sincerely,
Plumas Unified School District Administration
