BY MEG FOXBosses, landlords, truck

drivers, pharmacists, princi-pals, and even some parents will have to change the way they behave in 2004 under new laws that went into effect Jan. 1.

Parents become liable for teen drinking and driving.

A teenager’s parents or legal guardians could go to jail for a year and pay a $1,000 fi ne if they knowingly allow children to drink or use drugs in their home and then drive, causing a traffi c accident.

Under AB 1301, adults would be prosecuted if the teenage driver caused a traf-fi c accident and was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .05 percent or higher or if the driver was found to be under the infl uence of a controlled substance.

MORE SLEEP FOR TRUCKERS

Truck drivers nationwide will have to get more rest under a new hours-of-service regulation that took effect Jan. 4.

Truckers are no longer allowed to drive after being on duty for 60 hours in seven-day-consecutive period or to drive 70 hours in an eight-consecutive-day period.

The new rules allow long haul drivers to drive 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, according to the U.S. Department of Transporta-tion.

The on-duty cycle may be re-started only after a driver takes a “weekend” (34 con-secutive hours) off.

CLEANER SCHOOLBATHROOMS

It’s also time to clean and re-stock the school restrooms or lose state maintenance funding.

Under SB 892, every school restroom must be maintained and cleaned reg-ularly and be fully operational and stocked at all times with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels or functional hand dryers.

Schools must keep all of their restrooms open during school hours when students are not in classes, and keep a suffi cient number of rest-rooms open during school hours. A school that violates these provisions will be ineli-gible for State Deferred Main-tenance funds.

STUDENT SODA BANSThe state also wants

healthier students and as a result of SB 677, which goes into effect July 1, schools have several regulations to follow if beverages are sold on premises to students.

be banned from selling “unhealthy” beverages from vending machines.

The law permits elemen-tary schools to sell healthy beverages containing “only water, milk, 100 percent fruit juices, or fruit-based drinks with no less than 50% fruit juice and no added sweeten-ers.”

During fundraisers, ele-mentary school students can sell “unhealthy” beverages off school grounds or on school grounds if the drinks are sold at least 30 minutes after the end of the school day.

Similar rules apply to middle and junior high schools.

Their school vending machines are available to students from one-half hour before and after school.

Those vending machines can also contain “electrolyte replacement beverages with no more than 42 grams of added sweetener per 20-ounce serving.”

Middle school students are allowed to sell less than healthy beverages in vend-ing machines, school stores, and cafeterias for fundraising during and at an after-school event.

High school students can go ahead and have as many soft drinks as they like.

MODIFIEDEven teenagers who are

learning to drive have a new restriction.

Under AB 1343, teens who are younger than 17-1/2 must have completed a driver’s education course before receiving their instruction permit. Under the previous law, teenagers who were at least 15 could get a permit after enrolling in a driver’s training program.

EMPLOYEE RIGHTS:PAID FAMILY LEAVE,

LEAVE FORCRIME VICTIMS,

WHISTLEBLOWER LAWSStarting July 1, workers

who have SDI deductions on their paychecks are eligible to take up to six weeks of paid leave to care for a new baby, or foster child, or to care for sick family members.

Employees indirectly pay for the benefi t through a .08 percent payroll SDI/FTDI tax deduction.

Under the new Paid Family Leave Law (SB 727), these employees are entitled to receive 55 percent of their salary up to $728 a week.

Businesses with fewer than 50 employees are not required to hold a job for a worker who goes on paid family leave.

Work place leave is also provided under SB 478 for employees who are victims of crimes or who are relatives of crime victims so that they can attend court proceedings.

New labor codes increase penalties for employers who

fail to pay a worker’s wages on time or if employers pay less than the minimum wage.

The sue-your-boss law (SB 796) also makes it easier for workers to fi le claims about overtime pay and lunch break violations.

Work-place whistleblowers are getting added protection under SB 777 when they report what they believe to be illegal activities. Employ-ers are required to post the telephone number of the Attorney General’s hotline.

NEW LAWS FORLANDLORDS

Landlords have new laws to follow, too.

Under current law, land-lords are required to itemize any deductions from a ten-ant’s security deposit within three weeks of a tenant’s departure.

After Jan. 1, if the total charges exceed $125, land-lords are required to include copies of receipts for work (labor and materials) to clean the rental unit or repair and replace damaged items.

If the landlord or one of his employees did the work, the statement must include the time spent and the reason-ably hourly rate charged.

PICK YOURAUTO REPAIR SHOP

If your car is damaged in an accident, SB 551 prohibits an insurer from requiring that you have it repaired at a spe-cifi c body shop.

The law also prohibits insurers from recommending a repair shop, unless you request that information.

MYSTERIOUSMEDICAL BILLS

Taking the mystery out of medical bills, hospitals will be required by July 1 to provide written or electronic copies of their charges, either by post-ing their charge description master on a Website or by making it available at their facility.

New laws are also going into effect for prescriptions of Schedule II controlled substances, including the phasing in of watermarked California Security Prescrip-tion forms and the phasing out of triplicate forms.

NEW LAWS FORE-MAIL SPAM

A law that attempts to con-trol e-mail spam also went into effect on Thursday.

The “Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing” (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003 requires unsolicited com-mercial e-mail messages to be labeled (though not by a standard method) and to include opt-out instructions and the sender’s physical address.

It prohibits the use of deceptive subject lines and false headers in such mes-sages.

The Federal Trade Com-mission is authorized, but not required, to establish a “do-not-email” registry.

Burney Cemetary was awarded a $50 American Express Gift Check in the second annual Tri-Counties Bank Business Decorating Contest in Burney. Second place was presented to Round Table Pizza, third to Mt. Burney Coffee, and honorable mentions to Burney Chamber of Commerce, Intermountain Floors, and Green Gables Motel. Presenting the award are, from left, Karen Gurule, assistant manager, Lisa Shoemaker, branch manager, to Burney Cem-etery representatives Larry Armstrong, CJ Armstrong and Nancy Hutchings.

Editor:In light of recent fi ndings of

Bovine Spongiform Encepha-lopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease in the United States, Prather Ranch assures its commitment to beef purity, food safety, and exceptional quality.

Prather Ranch operates on approximately 15,000 acres in the shadow of Mount Shasta, in Northern Califor-nia.

The ranch is home to its “closed herd” founded in 1964. Since its inception, there has not been any animal derived protein fed to the cattle herd.

In 1990, the Prather Ranch operation and cattle were audited and deemed “clean” of BSE by pharmaceutical companies and the Interna-tional Standards Organiza-tion (ISO).

Standard operating pro-cedures were set in place to actively manage and ensure the herd and operation had biological security.

Prather Ranch is posi-tioned to provide an unparal-leled level of sanitary condi-tions.

The result, Prather Ranch Beef is considered the “gold standard” for food safety. Prather Ranch beef cus-tomers are offered a highly specialized product – great tasting beef that is scientifi -cally documented, inspected, and pure.

Prather Ranch harvests 1,000 animals a year (20 animals per week) for its premium quality, dry-aged, certifi ed organic and natural beef sales.

Due to our low cattle vol-umes, meticulous attention (100% USDA inspection and HACCP plan implementa-tion) is paid to the details of harvest, beef aging, and beef fabrication.

To maintain its isolation and improve the genetic potential of the cattle, the Prather Ranch breeding pro-gram mandates that all cows be bred by artifi cial insemina-tion, using frozen semen from superior Angus and Hereford bulls.

The “closed herd” provides assurance of the history and origin of every animal in the herd.

All herd members are born from our “closed herd” foun-dation and Prather Ranch management does not buy any animals to add to the cattle program.

The exclusive USDA inspected abattoir (harvest facility) is located on the ranch property. The ranch has a dedicated cattle truck and equipment used only on the “closed herd.”

Following are some of the highlights of the Prather Ranch:

In 1964 Walter Ralphs pur-chased the geographically isolated Prather Ranch and started the foundation of the closed herd.

I1975 was the last introduc-tion of females to the herd. In 1984 our cattle identifi cation system was implemented with cattle born in 1984.

In 1990 Prather Ranch was contacted by an ISO-regulated pharmaceutical company that was searching for a documented “clean”

source of cattle hides for an injectible collagen product.

Due to BSE concerns, an audit of the entire herd was initiated.

The Prather Ranch operation and cattle were documented “clean” through extensive auditing and sci-entifi c testing. Standard oper-ating procedures (SOP’s) were set in place to actively manage and ensure the herd and operation had biological security and quality control.

In 1995, a state-of-the-art abattoir (harvest facility) was built on the ranch property. The abattoir design was adapted to create a low stress environment for the cattle before harvest and to provide an unparalleled level of sanitary conditions.

The Prather Ranch Meat Packing Facility uses a “mushroom-head” stunning device that doesn’t penetrate the animal’s brain during har-vest. In addition, the facility does not split the carcass exposing the spinal cord.

These processing proce-dures are non-traditional for North American beef pro-cessing. This is a redundant proactive step taken to miti-gate the exposure of fl uids and tissues from the spinal column that is suspected to house the prion that causes BSE.

Prather Ranch hand-bones its beef and has never used Advanced Meat Recovery methods. The result, Prather Ranch Beef is an example of the pinnacle of food safety.

In 1999, 40 percent of the Prather Ranch herd received “Certifi ed Organic” designa-tion.

In 2002, Jim and Mary Rickert named the “Profes-sional Farm Managers of the Year”, a national award presented by the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers.

In 2003, Prather Ranch was selected as “California Commercial Producer of the Year” by the California Beef Cattle Improvement Associa-tion.

This same year Prather Ranch received “Certifi ed Humane” Certifi cation based on stringent humane animal treatment policies certifi ed by Humane Farm Animal Care.

The ranch also imple-mented a water quality-moni-toring program on irrigated pastures to help provide data to assist in documentation of our proactive position on environmental issues.

Today Prather Ranch con-tinues to be proactive about documentation and scientifi c testing.

Every animal has been meticulously tracked by a specialized computer pro-gram. The scope of regular scientifi c testing includes: live cattle, beef, feed, soil, and water.

Every six months docu-mentation is submitted to the pharmaceutical companies on the herd health history status.

This level of traceability and detailed record-keep-ing has provided a distinct advantage to provide supe-rior certifi ed organic and natural beef products.

The animal identifi cation system can track individual packaged cuts of meat back

to the animal’s birth.Prather Ranch is now con-

sidered the “clean source” for hides, bones, and glands for a handful of ISO 9000 regulated pharmaceutical companies.

This attention to detail for companies who have mil-lions of dollars riding on the bovine raw materials for their pharmaceutical products gives Prather Ranch Beef a unique product – great tast-ing beef that is documented, inspected, and pure.

REAL ESTATE CORNER

Big Pines Realty

When you are working with a Realtor to find a home, it is very important tha your agent understands yourcrtieria. A good Realtor listens carefully, so be very clear about the features you want in a home. Be clearabout what elements are essential to you and where you are willing to compromise. When you startlooking at homes, you may find that the available homes in your price range represent much more of acompromise than you were prepared to make. Let your agent know if you are willing to consideralternative mortgage options to increase your buying power. Discuss all of the possibilities. Would youconsider a house with the same amenities in a different neighborhood, a "handyman special," a smalleryard or fewer bedrooms? An open mind and honest communication are crucial ingredients as you workwith a Realtor to find the best possible home for your needs.

LISTENING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR JOB

tor.Project ChildSafe is

funded by a $50 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. No DFG funding was involved in the program, Gonzales said.

A total of 5,000 of the 50,000 gunlocks were shipped to the DFG’s Redding region warehouse, one of six land-based regions.

Gonzalez expects to double the number of gun locks distributed to each regional offi ce.

The cable lock-style requires that many types of fi rearms be unloaded before the cable is installed, provid-

ing an extra level of safety. Hunter education instruc-

tors will begin to pass out the locks in classes immediately.

Game wardens will also receive gun locks from the local regional warehouses and will circulate them through routine fi eld contact with hunters or other sports enthusiasts, Gonzalez said.

Project ChildSafe is man-aged by the National Shoot-ing Sports Foundation, which plans to distribute more than 20 million gunlocks across the nation, the District of Columbia, and the fi ve U.S. territories.

California’s share is the largest allotment for any state.

BY MEG FOXWhile the Bulldogs chased

Burney’s varsity and JV girls basketball teams up and down the court Friday night to win both contests, the Bull-dog boys left town with their tails between their legs after losing both of their games to the Raiders.

Burney’s varsity boys beat Fall River 56-49 in what Burney coach Tara Jones described as a close game that was tied 37-37 at the end of the third quarter.

“Fall River played really tough and crashed the boards real hard and it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that we pulled away,” Jones said.

Kyle Moody was the high point scorer for Burney with 19 points.

“He played a really good game. He went four out of six from the line. He led the team well and he made good decisions with the ball,” said Jones.

J.D. Dennis scored 14 points. Luke Schechla and Ryan Huffman each scored seven points. “It’s not much, but they were big,’ said Jones.

Huffman also had 12 rebounds and, as he did in their game against Weed, Kevin Wrigley came in at the fourth quarter to score a three-point basket.

Fall River’s John Morris scored 20 points with three 3-pointers and Blake Con-nors scored 12 points for the Bulldogs.

The Boys JV game was also close.

“When Burney and Fall

River play, it’s always close, year after year, which is a credit to both schools,” Jones commented.

Fall River led 24-20 at the half and the two teams were tied, 30-30, at the end of the third quarter.

But when Fall River went up 10 points, the Raiders had had enough.

Burney’s Ryan Rhodes scored 11 points in the fourth, including three 3-pointers and a 2-pointer, and Grant Moody scored 8 points.

“Cooper Allison came in and had crucial rebounds in the fourth quarter, too,” said Jones.

Overall, Rhodes scored 19 points in the game, Moody scored 14 points, and Kevin Sutherland scored 10.

On the Fall River side, Shane Robertson was the high point scorer with 13. Brent Handa scored 11 points.

Fall River Girls Varsity Coach Kathy Jones said their 48-43 victory was “a close game throughout. Our teams are fairly evenly matched in talent. But we’ll take the win. We’re happy.”

With a 10-point lead in the third quarter, Fall River looked to take off. “But we couldn’t hold it. Burney kept coming back and we got in foul trouble.”

The game featured an abundance of fouls and free throws, 58 in all.

Two of Fall River’s starters, Delaney Chapman and Jes-sica Caldwell, fouled out in the third quarter while Burney starter Aimee Ayers fouled out in the fourth quarter.

Fall River was 20 for 38 in free throws, and Burney was 10 for 22, Jones said. “We were over 50 percent, but ideally we’d like to shoot better.”

Sophomore Shawna Truan and senior Brittany Shelton both scored 12 points apiece for the Bulldogs. Shelton had 12 rebounds and Truan had 10. Abby Salters scored 11 points and had 5 steals.

Burney’s Robbie Fulk scored 16 points for the Raid-ers. Kayla Stover added 9 points and got 8 rebounds.

Fall River beat Burney’s JV girls 32-18.

“IT was ugly. We didn’t score a single point in the third quarter,” said Coach Loni Estes.

But not for lack of trying. Estes said her team shot 59 times to Fall Rivers 29 attempts.

Burney’s Anika Kierce scored 8 points with 4 steals and 2 assists. Megan Spooner scored 4 points and had 3 rebounds.

Maggie DeCoito was the high point scorer for Fall River with 11 points. Lesley Taylor scored 7 points and Caitlin Spalding added 6 points.

With a cold snowstorm waiting for them outside, Burney’s varsity boys bas-ketball team kept the heat on in Weed, going into overtime to beat the Cougars 62-58 on Jan. 7.

Burney was up by a mere point at the end of the third quarter for a score of 40-39, but the magic the Raiders needed arrived in the fourth.

Team captains Ryan Huff-man and Kyle Moody fouled out and coach Tara Jones put in Kevin Wrigley and Jacob Hubbs.

“They scored late –and big,” she said.

Wrigley scored 8 points in the fourth that included a 3-pointer, Burney momentarily took the lead until Weed again caught up to tie the game 53-53 at the end.

Wrigley scored another 3-pointer in overtime and Hubbs added four more points for the win.

High point scorers in the game, with 12 points each, were Huffman, J.D. Dennis and Luke Schechla.

Burney’s JV boys took their winning streak to Weed, beating the Cougars 61-59, though they were actually up by fi ve points at game’s end.

The Cougars made a 3-point basket at the buzzer, Jones said. “We let them have it.”

Sophomore Kevin Suther-land scored 23 points, includ-ing four 3-pointers. Grant Moody scored 16 points and Ryan Rhodes scored 15.

Jones said the score was 23-15 in Weed’s favor at the end of the fi rst quarter and they were up by six points at the half. “We just kept coming back and coming back.”

Even with Raider sopho-more Robbie Fulk scoring 19 points for the Burney’s girls’ varsity basketball team, it wasn’t enough and Burney lost their game with Weed, 33-48.

Fulk also had 9 rebounds. Kayla Stover and Rocksann Barba added 6 points apiece

The Etna Lions kept pouncing, but they couldn’t beat the Fall River boys basketball teams Jan. 7 in McArthur.

The varsity won their match 60-49.

“It was a pretty close game, but we managed to pull away and win. It was exciting and fun,” said coach Greg Hawkins.

John Morris scored 25 points for the Bulldogs with 8 rebounds and Blake Connors socred 16 points.

The JV team won, 76-61, with Fall River’s Brady Corr scoring 25 points and Shane Robertson scoring 24.

“We played well and we shot the ball well,” said Coach Scott Gallion.

Fall River High School’s JV basketball player Leslie Taylor is only 5’3”, according to the Bulldog’s roster, but it doesn’t keep her from getting the ball to the net over and again.

The sophomore scored nearly half the points for her team’s 47-40 win over Etna Jan. 7 in McArthur.

Taylor scored 21 points, while sophomore Maggie DeCoito added 10 more for the team. Coach Todd Sloat said Caitlin Spalding, another sophomore player, “rebounded very well and played excellent defense for us.”

The girls’ varsity team did not fare as well and lost to the Lions, 23-48.

“We struggled offensively,” said Coach Kathy Jones.

The Inter-Mountain News, in cooperation with local representatives of the Cali-fornia High School Rodeo Association, District I, is featuring a student/member from Burney, Big Valley, and Fall River high schools who is competing in the 2003-2004 rodeo season.

CHSRA members com-pete in saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, calf roping and steer wres-tling for boys; barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping and the queen contest for girls; and team roping and cutting con-tests for both.

CHSRA is divided into nine districts. District I includes Lassen, Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou, Plumas, Butte, Glenn, and Colusa counties.

Based on points accumu-lated through the season, the top three cowboys and

down only 10-13 at the end of the fi rst quarter, but the margin widened to 21-14 by the end of the half.

“And then Etna ran away with it and we couldn’t score any baskets.

“They do have a lot of height,’ said Jones, noting that Etna’s starting line-up features players who range in height from 5’10 to 6-feet.

“It was tough to score. We also didn’t expect their man-to-man defense,” Jones said.

Abby Salters scored 12 points for the Bulldogs, with 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Jes-sica Caldwell added 6 points and got 4 rebounds. Brittany Shelton added 5 points and had 8 rebounds. Sophomore Delaney Chapman, who was recently moved up to play varsity, had 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

to Weed, 27-32. “We played like we’d had

a two-week vacation,” said Burney Coach Loni Estes. Sophomore Amber Spooner scored 8 points and had 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists.

cowgirls in each event from each district qualify for the “Challenge of Champions, a mid-season showdown. As the season continues, mem-bers from each district com-pete for a top fi ve fi nish that will take them to the CHSRA state fi nals.

BY MEG FOXFaren Nicole Graham is

a junior at Big Valley High School in Bieber and has been a member of District I, CHSRA, for three years. She has also been a member of the Intermountain Junior Rodeo Association for the past six years and competes in junior rodeo during the Inter-Mountain Fair.

Faren, 16, wasn’t inter-ested in riding horses and competing until she was in the sixth grade.

“I didn’t have a horse,” she said. But a family friend did

and Faren began competing in horse shows sponsored by the Modoc Horseman’s Asso-ciation in Alturas.

“I did real well and eventu-ally decided to try rodeo.”

Her parents, Gary and Trish Graham, got her a horse and Faren practiced in a fi eld on their ranch.

“Then my Dad built me an arena,” she said.

Faren competes in break-away roping, her favorite, and pole bending and at the District I competition Nov. 8 and 9 in Redding, she took fi rst place in the breakaway competition with 19 other riders.

Faren likes competing in rodeo events “because of the adrenalin and because it’s fun.”

She is a member of Big Valley FFA and previously belonged to Bieber 4-H.

When asked about her

accomplishments, Faren mentioned that she has improved her roping skills and horsemanship. She is also proud of her high point awards in horse shows and of raising two champion hogs.

She showed her fi rst cham-pion hog at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair in 1997. Her other champion received the award at the Inter-Mountain Fair.

Faren also plays basket-ball and softball for Big Valley High School.

In her free time enjoys snowboarding, hanging out with her friends, raising live-stock, riding four-wheelers and – horseback riding.

She plans to attend Col-lege of the Siskiyous in Weed and major in agricultural busi-ness.

Asked about the goals she has in her life, she said, “I want to become an agricul-tural business attorney and

raise livestock and eventually have a family.”

The District I competition scheduled for Dec. 13-14

was cancelled due to the weather. The next rodeo is Jan 24-26 in Red Bluff.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORCoach should stick to Athletic PolicyEditor:

As a lifetime resident of Beiber and a graduate of Big Valley High I am appalled at the recent happenings at our school and how they’ve been handled by the school admin-istration.

Our school used to be a class act not only on the fi eld of play or court of play but also off of it.

No more is this the case.When student athletes can

come to practice after having consumed alcohol, be ques-tioned by the coach, admit having drunk and then face no consequences because the school says the coach doesn’t follow protocol, we have HUGE problems.

When you hire a coach to represent your school, I believe your administration should support his decision to follow the Athletic Policy, and punish each student for thirty days like the Policy states.

Each athlete and their par-ents sign the Athletic Policy before they can play any sport at BVHS.

Instead these kids suited up for the fi rst game of the year and each saw playing time.

Was the coach forced to do this?

Or is he falling into what BVHS is now representing?

Sports in high school are an extra-curricular activity and a privilege, not a right.

Good grades as well as proper behavior lead to a student getting to play.

What are we teaching our kids?

To beat the system?It sure looks like it.They say a team takes on

the character of their coach or leader.

Well if this is the case, our district as well as our athletic programs better look long and hard at making some changes.

Our kids are the ones who will suffer if we don’t.

Donations raised for Community CenterEditor:

The Cassel Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary would like to thank the Cassel Commu-nity for the best-ever turnout for our Christmas Potluck Dinner on Dec. 10.

After a wonderful meal, we had a drawing for the Intermountain Quilt, made by Leslie Mastalarz, one of Cassel’s talented quilters.

It was displayed during recent months at our rum-mage sales, craft shows, etc.

The lucky winner was a family residing in Weed, Cali-fornia.

The Ladies Auxiliary pre-sented a $9000 check to the Cassel Volunteer Fire Company for the Cassel Fire-fi ghter Training & community center building fund.

Community donations by local residents have exceeded $6000 to date; in addition, Intermountain area corporate donations were received.

The Auxiliary has been working tirelessly for the past 18 months to make the Train-ing Center dream come true.

We are proud to say the Auxiliary has raised over $18,000 during the prior 18 months because of fundrais-ing efforts.

The Center is a 4000 square foot multi-purpose facility (Firefi ghter Train-ing, Community Center, and Command & Control Center- CDF), currently under con-struction.

It will include a commercial kitchen capable of preparing meals for over 100 individu-als.

The Center will be a great addition to our community.

Completion of the building is targeted for spring 2004.

Conserving water is a Christmas wish

Editor:

Letter to Santa from a farm water district manager.

Dear Santa,I’ve been good this year…

really.Remember how I

responded when the phone call came into my offi ce from the urban water district about the possibility of selling some of our farm water to the city folks?

In past years I might have just dropped the phone from my hand and walked out of the room, but not this year.

Instead, I listened as my urban counterpart explained how his directors were trying to obtain a guaranteed water supply in case the water season became drier and drier and their supplies began to dwindle.

I think he was playing on my emotions when he men-tioned the potential of splut-tering water fl ows coming out of faucets if his phone call was not successful.

He wasn’t asking for a handout and emphasized that his directors has autho-rized him to offer top dollar for any water supplies that he could squeeze out of a farm water district.

But I explained to him that to make available the amount of water he was talking about would require my farmers to not plant a portion of their fi elds.

Such an action could have wide reaching effects; such as:

Would the farmer have enough work to keep his employees busy during the year without threatening their livelihoods?

What about the local stores that provide the supplies- like fuel, seed, hardware and more- needed during the course of the year?

And what about the end-less requests for support by local school groups and com-munity organizations seeking help in their latest fundraising efforts?

There are a lot of people who depend on a healthy farming community and an adequate supply of water is essential to that well-being.

Any transfer of water as proposed by a person on the telephone could pose a risk not only to the farmer, but also to many individuals and organizations that have relied on local farmers in the past.

Still, I answered that I would present the request to my board of directors.

Only after a lot of discus-sion with our local farmers and others in the community did my directors agree to cooperate in sending a por-tion of their farm water to the city folks; but only for one year.

You see, Santa, I really have been good this year and I’m not asking for much.

First on my list is a winter that would deposit lots of snow in the mountains; and, if it’s not asking too much, let there be a high water content in the snow.

Once the snow begins to melt, then the water will run off and be captured in the reservoirs throughout our state.

Yes, I know that the capac-ity to store water in these reservoirs is limited.

But this brings me to my second request, the will-ingness of individuals and groups in our state to listen to one another and work toward a solution on how to increase the water storage behind these reservoirs.

I know that conservation will help meet some of the future demand for water in our state to satisfy what is expected to be 46 million people in California by the year 2020.

But we have to do some-thing to meet the thirst of these individuals and taking water away from our farmers will only hurt those who need the water to grow the food we all eat.

So, you see, Santa, we

really do need to fi nd a way to store more of the water that is currently fl owing unused form our state to the Pacifi c Ocean.

If you could only make this happen then I know a lot of people would be happy.

And, third on my list is peace on earth.

Holiday power not taken for grantedEditor:

I would like to thank the PG&E workers who save up their time on Christmas Day to restore power to our home, Little Valley’s water pump, and one or two other homes in our area.

We had a severe brown out that took about four hours to fi x.

My family and I really appreciate the workers effort to make sure we had light and power on a holiday.

All too often we take our electricity and other services for granted, and also the people responsible for keep-ing those services running.

They are often unsung heroes when weather or earthquakes leave people without power, whether it is a few as in our case or many thousands as in the recent San Francisco blackout.

Thank you whoever you are for restoring our power on Christmas Day.

Volunteers deserve a big thank youEditor:

I would like to extend a big thank you to the com-munity for their support of the Burney Boosters Club Christ-mas Tree Fundraiser.

tats, the DFG said. “California is home to a

diversity of fi sheries and eco-systems that require costly management efforts.

“Our many roles in man-aging wildlife are far more expensive than they were a decade ago. We needed to bring license fees in line with our costs to effec-tively manage these public resources,” said DFG Acting Director Sonke Mastrup.

“The additional revenue generated through license sales will help the Depart-ment pay for the increasing costs associated with con-serving and protecting fi sh and game resources and their habitats,” Mastrup said.

Hunting license and tag fee increases that take effect July 1 include the following:

The California Resident Hunting License is $31.25, a $1.50 increase.

A Nonresident Hunting License costs $108.50, an increase of $5.

A Junior Hunting License for both residents and non-residents went from $7.25 to $8.25 for those under age 16 at the time of purchase.

The Two-Day Nonresident Hunting License fee costs $31.25.

The DFG made changes to its several stamps and reports cards.

The Striped Bass Stamp program expired Dec. 31 and the stamp is no longer required.

The Bay-Delta Sport Fish-ing Enhancement Stamp sells for $5 and funds are dedicated for projects that enhance sport fi shing in the San Francisco Bay and the Delta.

The Steelhead Report Card, used to monitor and restore California’s steelhead population, now costs $5 instead of $3.75.

The Abalone Report Card increased from $12 to $15. Divers are required to have a Sport Fishing License and an abalone report card. Revenue generated from this report card is used for abalone restoration projects throughout the state.

Fees for lifetime hunting and fi shing licenses also increased Jan. 1.The Life-time License fee is based on the age of the person at the time of the purchase.

Higher fi shing, hunting fees
