Indian Valley Record
New trails headed this way in 2012
Delaine Fragnoli
Managing Editor
dfragnoli@plumasnews.com
The trail gurus at Sierra
Buttes Trail Stewardship
racked up some impressive
statistics during their just-
concluded 2011 trail season
and have even bigger plans for
2012. If things go according to
plan, Indian Valley will have a
renovated non-motorized trail
system and Quincy,will have
two new trail systems, one
motorized and one non-motor-
ized, in the coming year.
The group hosted 18 Trail
Daze events between April
and December, five on the
Tahoe National Forest and 13
on the Plumas. All told, these
volunteer workdays attracted
491 volunteers who produced
3,728 labor hours. These same
volunteers traveled 63,201
miles to help maintain and im-
prove local trails.
These numbers are impor-
tant because grants and agree-
ments with the Forest Service
require SBTS to provide a 25
percent in-kind contribution,
which can be achieved
through volunteer labor, trav-
el, materials and tools. The
group's 2011 in-kind contribu-
tions toward federally funded
trail projects totaled a whop-
ping $175,362.
"Producing an in-kind con-
tribution of this magnitude
not only requires a dedicated
volunteer base," said execu-
tive director Greg Williams,
"it demands a passionate and
professional staff, and a siz-
able amount of food and beer."
The cost for hosting and feed-
ing volunteer work crews in
2011 amounted to $10,355.
At the peak of this year's
trail season, SBTS employed
• 17 Plumas and Sierra resi-
dents. Th'at number has
dropped to five in the off-sea-
son. SBTS has an annual pay-
roll of $372,000.
Not accounted for in the
year-end tally is the role a
high-quality trail system plays
in attracting visitorsand con-
tributing to Plumas County's
tourist economy; said
Williams.
The group has no intention of
resting on its laurels. It already
has a full slate of events sched-
uled for 2012 (see sidebar).
The group's flagship event,
the Downieville Classic moun-
tain bike race, will move from
its traditional date in early Ju-
ly to the beginning of August.
In addition to that race, the
group will offer a 31-mile en-
durance run in Graeagle in
late September. Both events
are fundraisers for the Stew-
ardship.
SBTS's major projects for
the new year include trail sys-
tems on Mount Hough and at
South Park, near Quincy, and
rehabilitation of the fire-dam-
aged trail network at Antelope
Lake, near Indian Valley.
SBTS is collaborating with
Sierra Access Coalition to de-
.velop motorized trails on
Mount Hough. Work includes
a motorized route inventory
(existing and conceptual), en-
vironmental review and pro-
duction of a trails master
plan.
"Once the planning portion
of the project is complete,
there is funding available to
t~erform restoration work on
existing trails, with high
hopes of pursuing additional
funding for new construction
through the California off-
highway vehicle program,"
Williams said.
The South Park project will
convert 25 miles of user-made
singletrack into an official
non-motorized trail system.
SBTS plans to inventory and
map all existing and conceptu-
al routes, conduct the re-
quired environmental review
and perform restoration work.
Quincy will be the host for the
2012 National Trails Day event
June 2.
When SBTS is done with the
trail system near Antelope
Lake, which has been out of
commission for about a
decade following several wild-
fires in the area, hikers,
equestrians and mountain
bikers will have an 18-mile
loop to explore, composed of
the Antelope Lake-Taylor
Lake, Cold Stream and Middle
Creek trails. Funding for the
work comes from the Ameri-
can Recovery and Reinvest-
merit Act.

these projects and other SBTS

CMSP could provide health coverage to 500 residents
Delaine Fragnoli
Managing Editor

Five hundred Plumas
County residents may be eli-
gible for no-cost health in-
surance thanks to a new pro-
gram announced last week.
The County Medical Ser-
vices Program (CMSP) said
Dec. 21 it would expand
health care coverage to an
additional 30,000 low-income
adults living in 34 mostly
rural California counties, in-
cluding Plumas County, be-
ginning Jan. 1, 2012.
The program, called
Path2Health, will increase
the number of low-income
adults served statewide to
nearly 90,000 by the end of
2013. CMSP currently serves
more than 60,000 low-income
adults each month. Plumas
County averaged 191 CMSP
cases a month in 2010-11,
double the rate in 2008-09, ac-
cording to the latest Plumas
County Department of Social
Services trends report.
"In Plumas County, we es-
timate that up to 500 individ-
uals could qualify for this
new program," Plumas
County Social Services Di-
rector Elliott Smart said.
"However, our current esti-
mate is that about 250 will
actually apply."
Smart said the gap was the
result of some eligible people
not using the program until
they had an immediate

health need, even though the
program is good for a year at
a time. Others "simply do
not want to get involved with
government benefits."
Smart said he was hopeful
his estimates would prove
wrong. Health care is consis-
tently in the news and people
are more aware of the need,
which has led to an increase
in MediCal applications, he
said.
Califormans qualify for
Path2Health if they are: a
resident, of one of the 34
counties the program serves,
have an income of up to 100
percent of the federal pover-
ty level (or about $10,890 an-
nually for a single person),
are between 19 and 64 years
of age, do not qualify for
MediCal and meet federal
citizenship and documenta-
tion requirements.
Smart encourages Plumas
residents who may be eligi-
ble to call his office at 283-
6350.
Path2Health will provide
coverage for medically nec-
essary health care services,
including primary care,
emergency and hospital
care, pharmacy services and
limited dental and vision
care. It will also cover a set
number of mental health and
substance abuse counseling
visits.
Smart called the program
"a step forward for the low-
est income people." He also
noted that besides the bene-
fits to the individual, the
CORRECTION
In a recent article about
restoration plans on the
upper reaches of Red
Clover Creek, it was re-
ported that there were
ranchers present during a
discussion onsite with the
technical advisory com-
mittee.
Although many knew
about it, no downstream
ranchers actually attended
the meeting with project
managers and committee
members.

mation.
program strengthens the en-
tire health care community.
"It gives hospitals and
providers a source of pay-
ment." When there is no
source of payment, those
costs are ultimately passed
on to the insured through
higher costs for services and
higher insurance premiums.
The coverage expansion is
made possible by the state of
California's federal Medicaid
"Bridge to Reform" waiver.
"The federal waiver makes
it possible to bring the bene-"
fits of federal health reform
early to many of California's
rural communities," said
Lee Kemper, executive direc-
tor of the CMSP govei'ning
board.
"Path2Health's 34 counties
represent regions with some
of the highest levels of pover-
ty and
uninsurance in the state,"
Kemper said. "Path2Health
will provide many low-in-
come adults in these coun-
ties with needed health cov-
erage. Others will benefit in
2014 when the federal Medic-
aid program is expanded by
federal reform."
