!ndian Valley Record Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011 5A YIR, from page 4A lateral connections private property on Aug. 10 School changes ahead -- parents, Booster Club mem- bers, teachers and other residents of Indian Valley gathered together for a com- munity meeting moderated by Jonathan Kusel, former trustee with the Plumas Unified School District. Also leading discussion was Guy McNett, a member of the district-wide facilities advisory group formed by district Superintendent Glenn Harris. Although Harris men- tioned school closures when he first formed the group, he later tasked them with evaluating the facilities and suggesting ways to use them more efficiently. Aug. 17 For sale: one used hospital Next steps on the surplus sale of the old Indian Valley Hospital and billing office properties are set to begin this week, with bid openings planned for November. Aug. 24 Fuels reduction plan set for final review After several years on the table, the Keddie Ridge Hazardous Fuels Re- duction Project is in the final round of the public review process. Public scoping began in December 2006, before the catastrophic Wheeler and Moonlight wildfires of 2007. Aug. 31 Public has variety of con- cerns about Keddie project -- Forest Service officials claim that no significant issues with the proposed Keddie Ridge Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project came up during the scoping period, though they did note that two alternatives were developed at the request of those com- menting: D and E. Then, in their discussion of alternative development, they stated that the proposed action, Alternative A, was developed from written com- ments and is referred to as the Collaboration Alternative by John Sheehan, executive director of Plumas Corpora- tion. Besides Sheehan's objec- tions, the project also drew objections from Tom Down- ing, of Sierra Pacific Indus- tries, and Quincy Library Group Counties Forester Frank Stewart. Sept. 7 Pastor Fred Kerr of the Greenville Southern Baptist Church was feted last month in two special services, one at his church and one staged at the Greenville Assembly of God. His total dedication to the church and the community as a whole were the focus of celebrations in honor of almost four decades' worth of serving his fellow man. Sept. 14 Ranchers fit to be tied over water fees The mounting frustration level of area ranchers is almost tangible, like smoke from a fire. They and other water rights holders are in a fix with the increased state watermaster fees, which for most will rise by more than 400 percent. The fees will be on their property tax bills this December. Sept. 21 Will schools in Indian Val- ley close? Parents, teachers and concerned residents have been exploring the options during educational forum meetings, including school closures, consolidation or a move toward a charter school solution. Sept. 28 Indian Creek water rights holders bombarded state water officials with questions when they came to Taylors- ville, Many knew it was too late to prevent hundreds and thousands of dollars in charges on their tax bills come December, so the verification of that came as no surprise. What did create some flack was the way state officials answered their questions. Oct. 5 Woman cleans up life's bits and pieces -- What does one do wi'th five generations worth of family stuff, and the accumulation of the bits and pieces of several other people's lives? To Suzanne Hamar, of Greenville, it's like a never- ending cycle of collecting, cleaning and organizing. Oct. 19 Rain drenches leaf peepers -- They left Berkeley Friday on a ride to Plumas County, where their leaf-peeper trip to Taylorsville was un-expectedly squelched. Former Taylorsville resi- dent John Lyman and his long-distance bicycling buddy Peter Hoffman, of Berkeley, were on their way to spend some time visiting new Taylorsville resident Bruce Coolahan, who is also Hoffman's neighbor. They made it up the Delta past Davis and Yuba City and on to Bucks Lake Lodge by Sunday afternoon, after an awesome autumn ride past Lake Oroville. But the weather forecasts suddenly changed, became un- settled. The totally drenched duo made it as far as the Alley Cat Cafe, where they sat their soaked selves down for a spell while they waited for rescue by Coolahan. Oct. 26 It's apples galore with events and more -- Falling leaves signal it's time for the great Apple Squeeze and Potluck at the Dawn Gardens orchard and community center. New this year: Several Greenville High School students have teamed up to form the Indian Valley Apple Corps. They traveled all over the valley picking apples to juice Region 2 Educator of the Year Travis Rubke is honored at the California League of High Schools Annual Conference, along with other recipients. They formed a powerfully great group of candidates from the 11 regions, according to Plumas Unified School District trustee Jonathan Kusel.

Nov. 2 Everybody loses in dogs vs. cattle court case Dogs versus cattle, a courtroom drama, ended with losers on both sides: the ranching family and the dog owners, The rancher received no restitution for the cow he said died due to the trauma of being chased by the dogs, and the dog owners were fined $189 per dog for animal at large, $27.5 per dog for unlicensed dog and $275 per dog for pursuit of livestock. Nov. 9 A mother's love reaches around the world - Cynthia Christensen pastors to her flock in Greenville while her children are spread across the globe in military service for years at a time.
