BIG VALLEY DIV. VI FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSBIG VALLEY DIV. VI FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSBLOCK F BASKETBALL TOURNEY THIS WEEK AT FALL RIVER HIGH SCHOOL

Editor’s Note: This is the second of two meetings held by the U.S. Forest Service and proposed reli-censing of PG&E’s Pit 3, 4 and 5. The fi rst was held in Burney three days earlier and was reported on last week in The News.

_____________________

By JOAN M. DiMAIOBIG BEND--Representatives

from the U.S. Forest Service met with community members here Nov. 21 to present preliminary condi-tions and recommendations for the relicensing of PG&E�s Pit 3, 4 and 5 Hydroelectric Project.

PG&E�s existing license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) expires in one year.

The Forest Service led a simi-lar information meeting Nov. 18 in Burney, where area ranchers and

BY MEG FOXJust as Mayers Memorial Hos-

pital was relishing its receipt of a $587,000 reimbursement settlement from Medi-Cal, another bill collector came knocking on its door.

This time it was Medicare asking for $194,000 due them after review-ing the hospital�s 1997 cost report.

And unfortunately, Medicare is correct, said Mayers CEO Jerry Fikes.

He explained that Medicare

BY MEG FOXDr. Jim Marcin, a pediatric critical

care physician with the U.C. Davis Children’s Hospital, was at Mayers Memorial Hospital recently to estab-lish a telemedicine link between the local emergency room and the Pedi-atric Intensive Care Unit at Davis.

Mayers CEO Jerry Fikes said that the local hospital would be on line with the Children’s Hospital within six months and that Mayers would serve as a model for other rural emergency rooms.

If a critically ill or injured child is rushed to the ER in Fall River Mills, staff can immediately consult with a specialist, live via the telecommuni-cations setup, until the patient can be transported, Fikes explained.

The new telemedicine link will offer a signifi cant benefi t to ill and injured children and “it will help us to be sure that we haven’t missed any-thing in the hubbub that surrounds a pediatric patient,” Fikes said.

UC Davis contacted Mayers when they received grant funding from the Hearst Foundation to pro-vide the service in two rural hospi-tals, Fikes said.

farmers said they were against the proposal to increase downstream fl ows on the Pit River.

In Big Bend, Pamela K. Phillips, a local wildlife rehabilitator, was also concerned about the farmers losing their water.

“I am concerned about the farm-ers and ranchers of northeastern Shasta County and how this will affect them. Also, I am very inter-ested in seeing what the FERC comments are when they get the various study results in,” she said.

Dan MacMillan, who has lived in Big Bend for 27 years, said, “We have a sense of fair play here and we are in favor of taking steps to restore water levels closer to its natural state instead of the fi ve per-cent fl ow which now exists.

“We don�t think it is fair for PG&E to ask for concessions in water from upstream ranchers and farmers,

who we consider our friends, neigh-bors and co-workers.

“It is time for PG&E to give up something,” he said.

“These ranchers� and farmers� water rights have been intact for generations, and PG&E is a fairly newcomer to this area,” MacMillan said.

David Green, another Big Bend resident, said, “It is becoming more and more diffi cult to locate some species of invertebrate in local waters.

“They are disappearing and very few are located. We need a long term study assessing their loss of feed and habitat,” Green said.

Another Big Bend resident sug-gested that white water rafting on the Pit River could be planned, but the Forest Service said this was something they can only recom-

Log truck rolloverTraffi c was routed around this big rig Monday morning after the driver spilled a load of logs on Highway 44 about fi ve miles east of Old Station. The driver, Randall Lydell Bibbens, 40, of Redding and hauling logs for Richard Taylor Trucking of Cassel, was traveling west on the highway about 10:40 a.m. when he pulled to the side of the road to adjust his brakes. Realizing the turnout wasn’t wide enough, he pulled back on to the highway, the load shifted and he lost control, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Toys for TotsOn Sunday, ron Mason will be playing music of the 40s, 50s and 60s at noon at the Presby-terian Church in Burney as part of the Toys for Tots program in Big Bend. A new toy or dona-tion is urged and refreshments will be served.

Love Light TreeIntermountain Hospice is having its annual Intermoun-tain Love Light Tree celebra-tion Friday, 6 p.m., in the lobby of Mayers Memorial Hospital in Fall River Mills. The public is invited to help celebrate the lives of those whose memories we cherish and pay tribute to those who light up the lives of others. There will be music, refreshments and fellowship.

Control burnA control burn of 179 acres was scheduled to continue today about 1.5 miles from the Shasta Forest subdivision off Pilgrim Creek Road near McCloud.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■Now comfortably settled

in their pretty new digs, the Burney Chamber of Com-merce lit up for the holidays last week with a tree lighting ceremony in their own front yard at the Chamber Gar-dens.

The Chamber Gardens tree is replacing the some-times lit, sometimes not lit, trees along Christmas Tree Lane this year. And, while it may be disappointing, the Chamber cited a number of reasons ranging from elec-tricity costs ($700 per month) to never-ending vandalism.

Members wanted to replace the lost, stolen and broken lights, but had second thoughts when they were quoted $2,200 for a new batch of commercial lights. Due to liability, PG&E no longer provides tree-trimming equipment and the Chamber said it doesn�t want to con-tinue imposing on Packway Materials and Hat Creek Construction who graciously volunteer to help each year.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■The Burney Chamber

hopes to have a surprise in store by the spring of 2004 when they plan to host the Civil War Reenactors. Civil War Reenactors are serious about their hobby of bring-ing that period of history to life and recreating a battle or two. The chamber is currently scouting for 20 acres, with water, fairly close to town where the Reenactors can set up their tents, feed their horses and families, and pre-pare for battle.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■Sheridan Hart, Inter-

mountain Outreach coor-dinator for Shasta County Women�s Refuge, described the “incredible outpouring” of donations from the com-munity and the carloads of shoppers who made their recent yard sale and bake sale such a success. The

Refuge took in $800 the fi rst day and had enough items left for a second day of sales and another $800 in profi t.

May reminds the community that the fi re department pro-vides no cost CPR training. “We have good instructors in house and your only cost is for a book and a CPR card. The fi re department does not charge for its time or the facility.”

Sports By WES HATCHERThe Big Valley Cardinals

have successfully grabbed the Division six title for the sixth year in a row, defeating the Happy Camp Indians 44-12, in Bieber one week ago today.

The last time the two teams were in the championships together was in 1997 where the Cardinals turned out a similar performance defeat-ing the Indians 49-6.

“We had a great game, said Cardinal coach Matt

By WES HATCHEREight schools are sched-

uled to attend this years annual Block F boys bas-ketball tournament, starting Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Fall River High School gym.

The tournament marks the fi rst games of the season for many of the teams as well as the quick transition from the football playoff campaign for others like Chester and the Big Valley Cardinals.

Last year the Fall River Bulldogs were defeated by the Trinity Wolves in the fi nal game by one point 54-53, while the Big Valley Cardi-nals fi nished sixth and the Burney Raiders fi nished in seventh place.

Thursday�s varsity matches will conclude with the Burney, Fall River match scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. and the junior varsity matches are scheduled to start on Friday morning.

The Block F royalty will be introduced Thursday night and the coronation is set for Saturday night just before the championship game.

Hope to see you there sup-porting your local athletes.

Hunsaker, “The defense played well and our line dom-inated, helping to give us 468 yards on the ground.”

Big Valleys Mike Blue scored two touchdowns adding 158 yards on 22 car-ries while Robert Hudson added 111-yards on 8 car-ries.

Blake Oney scored two touchdowns and added 93 yards on 9 carries while teammate Tel Fulfer added a score on a third quarter 30-yard touchdown run.

Deiter Salters returned a kickoff for an 85-yard touch-down run as teammate Matt Smith grabbed an intercep-tion and added some extra points on conversions.

“Our freshman quarter-back Jason Roope stepped in and saw more action than expected but did a great job for us in the place of J.C. Hunsaker who had sustained a foot injury the previous game,” Hunsaker stated.

“With a good look at the Indians in the previous game,

we were able to shut down their running game and only allowed two touchdowns on passes in the second and fourth quarters,” Hunsaker added.

Finishing the season with a 10-2 record and another division title, coach Hunsaker noted another “great year” and vows to not speak of foot-ball until after the holidays, a well deserved break coming to the champion Cardinals.

chose 1997 as the year on which to base its rates.

1997 also happened to be Mayers fi rst year to use time cards and ambulance staff reported all of their hours worked, even when it was in another department, such as ER, to ambulance.

“When Medicare reopened the report, they blocked out all the other costs that were not ambulance. I went over the time cards assiduously and Medicare is correct,” Fikes said.

Fikes described the situa-tion to the hospital�s directors during their Nov. 20 board meeting.

The hospital was also dunned in its 1999 Medicare cost report.

“They were supposed to send $79,000, but instead we got $32,000,” said Fikes.

Although unrelated to the problems in the 1997 report, “they went over the 1999 report and threw things out.”

He also put the board on alert for inevitable bad news when the state government decides how to deal with its $20 billion defi cit.

“We know our good Gov-ernor has more bad news for us, he just hasn�t sent it yet,” Fikes said. “But we know we going to get a big hit.”

More positive fi nancial news came from Tucker Read, chief fi nancial consul-tant, who reported that the hospital�s budget report for October was good with an 11 percent increase in total patient revenues over prior months and a 25 percent increase in net revenue.

“”We are getting more effi cient in handling our work load,� Fikes commented.

“And we are getting there on the backs of our employ-ees. It�s not their imagination that they are working harder. It�s what we have to do and kudos to the employees for stepping up and getting it done,” he said.

Read said cash was down in October, “but for good reason.

“It was expended to pay down our line of credit by $320,000 and we also paid down four or fi ve months on bond payments that had been deferred.”

The hospital was also able to beef up its reserve for anticipated payments with the MediCal/Medicare settle-ment funds.

In other hospital business, administrators reported that

* The Employee Satisfac-tion Survey is underway and at least 150 employees need to participate to provide valid statistics. The Texas-based program will provide results within two weeks after receiv-ing the surveys.

* Dr. Steven Sharpf agreed to serve again as Chief of Staff, effective Jan. 1.

* Hospital policy is such that only residents and employees are eligible for fl u shots at Mayers and that drop-ins are advised to go to public health or their family doctor instead.

* Burney Rotary donated $500 to Mayers Intermoun-tain Hospice; Intermountain Healthcare Foundation donated funds to purchase two pulse oximeters.

The Fall River High School Band is having a Breakfast and Rummage Sale on Saturday Dec. 7 during the FRHS Block F Tournament.

The band is raising money for their spring competition trip to San Jose.

Breakfast will be served starting at 7 a.m. at the high school cafeteria and includes pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs and beverage.

The deadline for applying for a mini-grant from the Part-nership for the Public�s Health has been extended from Dec. 2 to Friday, Dec. 13.

Any community group, local business, or even just a group of three or more friends can apply for amounts up to $1,000.

Your project must address at least one of these three issues: improved nutrition, increased physical activity, or reduced use of tobacco.

BY MEG FOXShasta Head Start Child

Development, Inc. is branch-ing out to the Intermountain area to provide - and pay for – licensed, home-based child care.

The no cost service is available for the infants to fi ve-year-old children of income eligible working par-ents, parents in school, and who need time to look for work.

The Family Child Care Option, now in its second year, “is another choice for families who want a home-like setting for their children,” said Family Child Care Spe-cialist Terrie Martin of SHS in Redding.

The offi ce offers provider training and serves the families of children in Shasta, Trinity and Siskiyou counties.

Martin encourages fami-lies to contact her and let her know the hours that they need child care.

“We have providers who are willing to care for young children even if you�re work-ing nights or on weekends and holidays,” she said.

Shasta Head Start is a federally funded program for fi nancially eligible families with young children.

The Family Child Care Option covers the costs for care in a licensed child-care provider�s family home for a maximum of 45 hours per week.

Training is also available for women interested in becoming in-home child-care providers.

Family Child Care Pro-viders are “independent, licensed child-care contrac-tors operating out of their own homes who have agreed to follow the guidelines estab-lished Shasta Head Start.”

The Foster/Kinship Care Education Program is pre-senting “Stress Coping Skills, A Comprehensive Package” from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 11 at Shasta College�s Com-munity Education Offi ce in the Downtown Redding Mall, Suite 200B.

The program is free and open to anyone thinking about providing or already providing foster or kinship care.

To register call Sharon Wil-bourn at 247-3312.

Martin said potential child-care providers are often turned off by the licensing regulations.

“It�s not that tough,” she said. “I�ve been a provider for 20 years and it is possible to successfully do this,” she said.

For the right person, “It is very attractive, consistent and steady work,” she said.

Plus, Head Start is there to help.

“Existing providers can help guide you through the steps (to become licensed) and we will come into your home to help with home safety issues. The technical support is there for provid-ers.”

In fact, Shasta Head Start takes care of most of the stickier issues, such as par-ents who don�t show up on time or child care providers who suddenly decide to take a vacation.

Family Child Care is willing to mediate when there are issues between a provider and a parent.

“It�s usually due to mis-communication,” said Martin, “but if it�s a health and safety issue, we move on,” she said.

Families receive assis-tance in becoming better communicators. “It�s extremely important, espe-cially for the child. They need continuity and they need a stable relationship.”

Often, problems are a result of a parent�s unrealis-tic or unspoken expectations and so Head Start helps parents learn to be the boss, Martin said.

“Effective communica-tion between providers and families is crucial for building mutual trust and respect

“Parents need to be able

to voice their concerns. They are empowered to go into a provider�s home and be the boss and they can also go in unannounced to check things out,” she said.

Good communication – and good results – begins with the interview.

“It�s also very important,” said Martin.

Shasta Head Start sug-gests what to look for and what questions to ask before parents interview providers. They are also encouraged to fi nd out if their values and morals are the same and if it�s a home environment they are comfortable leaving their young children in.

Families select the pro-vider who best meets their needs and providers are also entitled to choose or reject a potential client

The Family Child Care Option also protects the providers, who don�t have to become bill collectors and or

Projects that were funded last time included a treadmill that�s available to the public at the Big Bend Healthy Start offi ce; healthy snacks for kids in the Mountain Union School District, and “seed” money for Oak Run�s Goodness Gar-dens Day.

More information and application forms are avail-able at the Acorn Café in Montgomery Creek, the Inter-mountain Community Center in Burney, or call 337-6736.

deal with other touchy fi nan-cial issues.

“The funding follows the provider and does not fl uctu-ate with a child�s attendance” so that the provider always receives payment for ser-vices, Martin said.

Providers are required to follow Head Start guidelines and must offer their services for 240 days a year between Sept.1 and Aug. 31.

They are asked to furnish Head Start and their clients with a yearly calendar, list-ing all the vacation days, holidays, and other days that their home will be closed.

Other responsibilities include participating in two, documented parent/provider conferences a year, having a site evaluation, and attending a meeting every other month with Shasta Head Start, among other responsibilities.

For more information, contact Terrie Martin at 245-2842.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for junior and senior high school students, and $3 for elementary school students.

The Rummage Sale will also be taking place, ending about 1 pm.

The band and choir mem-bers are also performing their annual Christmas Concert at 7 p.m., Dec. 18, in the FRHS gym.

The Acorn Café in Mont-gomery Creek is baking pecan pies, pumpkin pies made with real, locally-grown organic pumpkins, and lemon cheesecakes for the holi-days.

Pies are $9 each, and cheesecakes for $16.

Orders must be in by Friday, Dec. 20 and pies can be picked up on Dec. 24.

Call 337-6141 or 337-6736 to put in your order now.

The U.S. Department of the Interior and US Depart-ment of Agriculture Forest Service approved develop-ment by the Calpine Corpo-ration of a 48-megawatt geo-thermal power plant at Tele-phone Flat, near Medicine Lake on the Modoc National Forest in Siskiyou County.

The approval is part of a reconsideration process involving the project.

The agencies determined that the environmental analysis, conducted under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, was still valid.

The increased national and state focus on renew-able energy, along with the further mitigation measures required, justifi ed approval of the project.

“Production of electric-ity from the geothermal resource will help the nation take steps toward increasing domestic energy supplies, particularly from renewable sources, said Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rebecca W. Watson. “The power plant will also help California meet its legisla-tive mandate of producing 20 percent of energy sup-plies from renewable energy sources by 2017.” The state of California enacted legisla-tion in September, requiring the state to double its supply of renewable resources and for retail sellers of electricity to boost their use of renew-able resources by at least one percent each year until the 20 percent target is met by 2017.

The power plant will use hot water from deep within the earth to produce electric-ity for about 50,000 homes.

The water will then be re-injected into the geothermal pool to be reheated and reused.

Calpine projects the plant to operate for 45 years.

Calpine will be required to conduct several mitiga-tion measures, addressing concerns raised by American Indian tribes and others, including realigning its pro-posed power line to reduce visual and environmental impacts.

The realignment will result in a 13-mile power line for

U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service recently released its pro-posed land and resource management planning rule, which will govern the nation�s 155 national forest and 20 grasslands by emphasizing public concerns and scien-tifi c knowledge in a simpler, more responsive planning process.

“The national forests and grasslands are for everyone,” said Forest Service Associ-ate Chief Sally Collins. “The proposed rule is designed to more effectively involve the public and to better har-monize the environmental, social and economic benefi ts of America�s greatest natural resource, our forests and grasslands.”

The proposed planning rule retains the basic prin-ciples from the 2000 rule, which emphasizes mean-ingful public involvement, sustainability, use of science, and monitoring and evalua-tion.

In addition, the proposal provides forest managers with more fl exibility to tailor analyses to the specifi c char-acteristics and challenges presented by their forests and grasslands,.

It also eliminates most of the procedural require-ment and redundancies in the planning process, which could allow plans to be com-pleted in a third of the time.

The proposed rule gives two options of the National forest Management Act of 1976 (NFMA) requirement for diversity of plant and animal communities.

The Forest Service plans to host a workshop on the two proposed options for the public during the comment period.

In conjunction with the release of the proposed rule, the Forest Serviced is issuing a comprehensive study of the costs of land and resource management plan-ning. The study predicts the proposed 2002 planning rule will save roughly 30 percent

Shasta College�s Center for Language Arts and Social Science is pleased to pres-ent an interactive lecture by Raya Shokatfard, Thursday, Dec. 5, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room 804, at the College�s main campus.

from the 2000 rule.“These savings can be

used to address critical areas, such as wildfi re pre-vention, watershed restora-tion, and recreation facility maintenance,” said Collins. “The Forest Service wants to improve its planning pro-cesses to spend its available resources doing real work on the land and not dispro-portionately on planning and analysis.”

The NFMA requires the

Permits to cut Christmas trees on the Modoc National Forest are now available.

The permits are $10 each and are limited to two per household.

Permits may be purchased at the Modoc National Forest headquarters in Alturas and District offi ces in Adin, Cedar-ville and Tulelake.

Permits may also be pur-chased in Likely, Davis Creek and Alturas stores.

Rod Weed of the Likely Store, Jerry and Bev Palmer of Davis Creek Mercantile, and Linda Wistos of the Bel-ligerant Duck are looking for-ward to providing this service to the community.

Residents will be able to purchase permits during the weekdays and weekends at these local stores.

They can also be obtained through the mail by sending a check to Modoc National Forest, 800 West 12th Street, Alturas, Ca 96101.

Checks should be made out to USDA Forest Service and accompanied by a return address in order to process the request quickly.

Other general rules include, having your permit with you when cutting the tree; and you must present

Existing plans for these lands were developed under regulations adopted in 1982.

The power line will not cross the Medicine Lake area traditional cultural places district, as the original power line would have, nor will it go through the Mount Hoffman inventoried roadless area. further reducing environmen-tal impacts.

BLM is responsible for administering the geothermal lease, including the power plant, well fi eld and associ-ated infrastructure.

The Forest Service is responsible for issuing per-mits necessary for power lines, pipelines and road rights-of-way on national forest system lands.

“The project will produce renewable energy with fewer environmental impacts. The decision also fulfi lls the governments 20-year obliga-tion to the leaseholder,” said Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth. “I am especially appreciative of the mitiga-tion measures DOI is requir-ing within the lease area to reduce impacts on traditional cultural values and uses of the tribes.”

The decision follows extensive consultations with the affected tribes to hear their concerns regarding the signifi cance of the Medicine Lake Highlands as a sacred area and the manner in which the proposed development would affect this important cultural property and its use.

Although the tribes remain opposed to the project, Bureau of Land Management Director Kathleen Clarke and Chief Bosworth met person-ally with them, which led the agencies to seek design changes to reduce the visual and audible impacts of the project wherever possible.

Calpine will build the plant within the Glass Mountain Known Geothermal Resource Area, identifi ed in the 1970s as a region with signifi cant potential for development of geothermal energy.

Leases for geothermal development were sold in the mid-1980s.

BLM and Forest Service received proposals for the plant�s development in 1996

The students and staff of Fall River Elementary School recently celebrated National Children�s Book Week. The students decorated book marks, did read-ins in the gym, wore T-shirts with writing on them and wore silly socks. The students used the bookmarks for a drawing for a free book.

DEL ORO WATER COMPANY

CPUC ADVICE LETTER NO. 112Del Oro Water Company on behalf of its Johnson Park District (DOWCJP) hereby notifi es the public that it has requested authority from the California Public Utilities Commission to impose a one-time surcharge of $521.00 or 0.59%. The increase is for the purpose of passing on to custom-ers the Department of Health Services (DHS) fee assessed to DOWCJP for the fi scal year 2002-2003. By adding Section 4019.10 to the Health and Safety Code, Assembly Bill 2995 authorizes utilities to pass the operating costs of DHS on to water customers. The resulting rates would not result in a return in excess of that last found reasonable for DOWCJP.

To recover the assessed expenses, the water system had requested a one-time surcharge of $1.64 per customer. Customers will see this, or a Commission approved charge, on a monthly bill soon after Commission approval has been obtained.

Customers who would like to call the Commis-sion�s attention to any problems concerning their water service, or who would like to provide any other information or comments regarding this requested surcharge, should write to the Commission at the following address:

California Public Utilities CommissionWater Utilities Branch-Room 3200

505 Van Ness AvenueSan Francisco, CA 94102

Comments should mention that they pertain to The DHS Annual Surcharge proposed by Del Oro water Company and must be sent not later than twenty (20) days after the date of publica-tion of this notice.

Questions may also be addressed to Del Oro Water Company:

A response is a document that does not object to the authority sought, but nevertheless presents information that the party tendering the response believes would be useful to the Commission in acting on the request. A protest must be mailed within 20 days of the date the California Public Utilities Commission accepts the advice letter for fi ling served on the utility. The fi ling date is the date the advice letter was put on the Commission Calendar. The Calen-dar is available at the Commission�s website, www.cpuc.ca.gov. A protest must state the facts on which the protest is based, the effect that approval of the advice letter might have on the protestant, and the reasons the protestant believes the advice letter, or a part of it, is not justifi ed. If the protest requests an evidentiary hearing, the protest must state the facts the protestant would present at an evidentiary hearing to support its request for whole or par-tial denial of the advice letter.
