Bill Davies, left, displays his four-by-five buck with a 28-inch spread, alongside hunting partner Joe Tantardino. Davies is a
Lake Almanor native who has hunted locally his whole life, and this is the largest buck he has ever taken. He took it earlier
this month while hunting in Zone X6a after the Oct. 5 storm that left a foot of snow on the ridges. Davies tracked the buck
half a mile in the burned area near Diamond Mountain and Red Rock Lookout at the northern boundary of the Plumas
National Forest. Davies says it was the most exciting hunt of his life. Photo submitted

The Portola High School
football team improved its
record to 4-4 last Friday
night, when the Tigers post-
ed a 41-24 victory over the
visiting East Nicolaus Spar-
tans.
The Tigers, relying pri-
marily on their well-honed
running game, totaled 296
yards rushing. Zach Mar-
tinez led the attack with 20
carries for 133 yards and
three touchdowns.
East Nicolaus was never
able to key on Martinez,

other competent ball carrb
ers. Klint Williams earned
74 yards on nine carries, Os-
car Romero gained 49 yards
on six carries and Ricky
Lowdermilk claimed 49
yards on three carries.
Lowdermilk delivered a
36-yard touchdown run for
Portola's opening score, and
Romero recorded the Tigers'
next touchdown, also in the
first quarter.
Martinez contributed Por-
tola's next three offensive
touchdowns, one in the sec-
ond quarter and two in the
third quarter.
Lowdermilk snagged three
interceptions in the game,
one of which he returned for
a touchdown in the third
quarter. David Borgmeyer
added one interception.
Beyond the four
turnovers, the Spartans' of-
fense was further hampered
by Portola's team tackling.
Williams, who led the
Tigers with six tackles and
eight assists, was followed
by Romero (six tackles, two
assists), Piero Selvaggio
(two tackles, seven assists),
Teila Peiler (one tackle, 10
assists) and Kollin Osbourn
(eight assists).
Efrain Cardenes and
Chaske Orr combined for a
sack.
Portola's special teams
was also solid. Romero was
good on five of six PAT
kicks, and Lowdermilk aver-
aged more than 40 yards a
punt (five for 203 yards).
The Tigers travel to Co-
lusa (1-6) this Friday.

the bicy le library. With
more than 20 bikes and
The number of people us-
ing bicycles to commute
around Quincy has in-
creased over the past year,
thanks in part to a grant
from the Northern Sierra
Air Quality Management
District to build bicycle in-
frastructure in the commu-
nity.
In 2010, Dale Ready, of
Quincy, received funding
from the grant, which pro-
motes a variety of bicycle
initiatives that are picking
up momentum and begin-
ning to shift local trans-
portation norms.
The crown jewel of these
bicycle initiatives is the
Feather River Bicycle Barn,
an ever-evolving bicycle
shop run by students and lo-
cated just past the FRC ten-
nis courts. Within the Bicy-
cle Barn, people can find a
plethora of specialty tools,
bins of used parts and a
small retail center.
Beyond the tools and
parts, the most significant
aspect of the Bicycle Barn is
growing, the bicycle library
provides bikes for checkout
on both 8 short- and long-
term basis.
For a small deposit and
rental fetid,, people can ride
away on green and yellow bi-
cycles sporting the tag
F.R.e.B.E. (Feather River eco
Bike Effort). The rental fleet
is being bolstered by a spe-
cial Topics in Outdoor Recre-
ation Leadership course ti-
tied The Community and
Culture of the Bicycle.
In addition to the bike
barn, the grant has also
funded new bike racks
around Feather River Col-
lege and Quincy.
After the success of the
first grant, FRC's Saylor
Flett recently submitted a
second grant which was also
fully funded by the Northern
Sierra Air Quality Manage-
ment District.
This second grant is
targeted at increasing bicy-
cle infrastructure, offering
educational workshops and
creating incentives to get
people on bikes. As a result,
expect to see additional bike
racks around town and an
even larger Bicycle Barn and
bike library presence at com-
munity events such as the
farmers market and Bike to
Work Week, which will be
held in early May.
To support this student
driven project, the public is
welcome to visit the Bicycle
Barn. Hours of operation are
seasonal, but the shop is cur-
rently open Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday af-
ternoons. The Bicycle Barn
also gladly accepts dona-
tions, including bikes and
tools.
