New and safer
California Highway Patrol
• officers Terry Dunn, right, and
Lacey Heitman install a new
child safety seat for a local
resident Friday, Nov. 11, in
°Quincy. The driver received
the seat free of charge as part
of the CHP's Child Passenger
Safety Checkup Event. The
safety opportunity, held in the
Plumas Motor Supply parking
lot, generated a good
response, according to
Heitman. She said eight seats
were inspected and four were
replaced. Heitman said the
CHP hopes to have another
checkup event in the spring.
In the meantime, anyone who
would like a free safety seat
inspection can contact
Heitman at the Quincy CHP

The Plumas Unified School District School B9ard is in the process of forming Local
Community Advisory Committees to have each community (Quincy, Indian Valley, Chester
and Portola) involved before decisions are made about school closure or the use of surplus space,
tiros avoiding community conflict and ensuring compatible building use as referenced in
education code 17387. The primary purpose of each community committee is to meet over the
course of six to eight weeks to examine the Facility Advisory Committee and District
Administration recommendations. The committees will develop a process and criteria on how
to deal with consolidation/closure issues. The governing board will establish timelines for
progress reports and make the final decision regarding consolidation/closure of schools.
Public input is welcome at the November 8, 2011, board meeting at the Greenville High School
Library.
If interested, please submit a letter of interest to Executive Assistant Patty McCutcheon,
Superintendent's Office, 50 Church Street, Quincy, detailing how your personal/professional
experience would be beneficial to the School Board. Deadline for consideration is Friday,
November 18th at 3:00 p.m.
The school board will formally establish the various Community Advisory Committees
during the November board meeting. Appointments to the Committees will be made by the board.

Two of California's traffic
safety partners, the Califor-
nia Highway Patrol (CHP)
and Caltrans, are teaming up
to drive home an important
message to all motorists trav-
eling in the north state this
winter: Be prepared for
upcoming storms.
Information on winter
driving, chain controls and
access to traffic cameras, is
r
available on the Internet at
caltrans2.info. Caltrans sug-
gests drivers visit the website
prior to any winter trip for
important information on
driving conditions and tips
on how to be prepared in the
case of inclement weather.
The CHP also has a mobile
app for use on cellphones to
get information about traffic
conditions: m.chp.ca.gov.
"Caltrans and the CI-IP are
encouraging motorists to
check their automobiles and
make sure they're prepared,
prior to the fwst big storm of
the season," said District 2
Director John Bulinski.
It is best to stay off the
roads during winter storms,
but if you must go out use
caution, common sense and
be prepared.
Things to remember
--Winterize your vehicle
(check brakes, windshield
wipers, antifreeze, tires).
--Always carry chains. Reduce speed and use
your seat belt.
--Do not use cruise control
in wet, icy or snowy weather.
Do not pass a vehicle
plowing snow unless in-
structed.
Be aware of rapidly
changing conditions.
--Be prepared for road
closures and long delays
(bring flashlight, blanket,
food, ice scraper, gloves,
water, cellphone charger).
--If possible, stay off the
road during winter storms.
Studded snow tires are
permitted in California from
Nov. 1 until April 30. Studded
snow tires are not considered
tire traction devices and may
not be used in lieu of chains.
Tips for truck drivers
--Extra-legal permitted
loads are restricted during
inclement weather;
Follow instructions in
chain control areas.
--Listen for Highway Advi-
sory Radio (HAR) messages
on 1610 AM.
--Remain in the slow lane;
avoid passing other big rigs.

CHP REPORT
Snowy collision, Nov. 4
Randall May, 55, of Loyal-
ton, was driving a 1999 Jeep
Grand Cherokee southbound
on Highway 395, south of the
Lassen/,Sierra county line, in
the No. 2 lane at 6:30 a.m. The
weather at the time was cold
and snowy. There was a
vehicle rolled over in the
center divider from a previ-
ous accident and a 2011
Chevy Colorado parked on
the right shoulder whose
driver had stopped to help.
According to the California
Highway Patrol report, May
slowed to approximately
5 mph as he approached the
scene of the accident.
Bruce Morgan, 56, of Reno,
Nev., was driving a 1997
Ford Explorer approaching
May from behind at approxi-
mately 45 mph. When Mor-
gan realized that May was
almost stopped, he started
to move to the No. 1 lane. He
also began to slow down but
when he applied the brakes,
the Explorer began skidding
on the icy roadway surface.
Morgan lost control of the
vehicle and struck the rear of
the Jeep. The Jeep was

pushed to the right shoulder
where it struck the rear of
the parked Chevy. All three
vehicles came to rest on the
right shoulder, partially
blocking the No. 2 lane.

Icy skid, Nov. 4
Patricia Bridge, 70, of
Graeagle, was traveling east-
bound on Highway 70 in a
2006 Subaru Outback at 9:10
a.m. She was descending the
east side of the Sierra Valley
Buttes near the east entrance
to the Goodwin Ranch.
The roadway was covered
in packed snow and ice and
the area was covered by
low-lying fog.
According to the CHP
report, Bridge came upon
slower traffic and applied her
brakes as she approached
the vehicle ahead of her. The
application of the brakes
caused the tires to skid on the
slick surface, at which point
she lost control of the vehicle.
The Subaru skidded off the
south side of the highway
and crashed through a
barbed wire fence.
Bridge was wearing a seat
belt and was not injured. Her
vehicle sustained only minor
damage. There was damage
to approximately 30 feet of
fence, including two wooden
fence posts.
Overturned, Nov. 7
Debra C. Hays, 54, of
Paradise, was driving a 1998
Acura Integra on Highway 70
approaching Caribou Road at
a stated speed of no more
than 50 - 55 mph.
For an unknown reason,
according to the CHP, she
allowedthe vehicle to travel
onto the north shoulder as
she traversed a curve to
her left. Hays attempted to
correct her error by turning
back to the left. She reentered
the roadway and then cor-
rected the previous turning
movement by turning back to
the right. This turning move-
ment caused her to leave
the roadway again and travel
onto the north shoulder
where the front of her vehicle
struck the positive grade dirt
and rock embankment.
The impact caused the
vehicle to overturn onto the
westbound lane where the
roof struck the asphalt. The
Acura continued to overturn
and came to rest on its tires
on the north shoulder facing
north.
Hays was wearing a seat
belt. She received minor
injuries during the incident
and was transported to
Plumas District Hospital in
Quincy.
