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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. "Travis gave an eloquent speech on what inspired him," Kusel said. "We all felt privileged
to celebrate the evening and honor Travis and his wife, Gay." Around Rubke (from left) are
Kusel, Amy Hafsrud, Shelly Fuller, Sam Beres, Gay Rubke and Judy and Bill Gimple. Photo submitted

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.

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.
Even as senior pastor at
Greenville Assembly of God,
she's like any other mother
whose children are serving
in dangerous areas: she
worries about their safety.

Snoring Problem?
Snoring is a symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA). Left untreated, OSA can drastically
increase your risk for:
• Heart attacks and heart failure
• Stroke
• Accidents due to excessive daytime sleepiness
Answer these questions to assess your risk: I. Do you snore loudly?
2. Do you often feel tired, fatigued or sleepy
during the day?
3. Has anyone observed you stop breathing
during your sleep?
4. Do you have or are you being treated for
high blood pressure?
If you answer yes to two or more questions, you
are at high-risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA). OSA can be accurately and easily
diagnosed while you sleep in your own home.
See your doctor or ask about'a Home Sleep Study
through Plumas District Hospital today.
