Fresh fruits and vegetables will return to the Quincy Certified Farmers Market site in front of the school district office on Main Street on Thursday, June 20.
In addition to fresh local produce, the market will offer an expanded prepared food section as well as artisan, crafter and educational booths. Live music will accompany each weekly market.
Plumas County may soon have a new department — the Department of Emergency Management and Environmental Health.
“This would be catching up the administrative structure with the day-to-day reality,” Jerry Sipe told the Board of Supervisors during its May 14 meeting.
When a regulatory agency comes to town one can only hope it brings good news and that was the case when Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District Executive Director Gretchen Bennitt made a presentation at the Almanor Basin Watershed Advisory Committee meeting May 9.
In addition to ABWAC representatives Lorena Gorbet, Carl Felts, Charlie Plopper, Dick Daniel, Aaron Seandel, Jeff Greening, Peggy Fuldar, Ryan Burnett and Dick Fording, the posted agenda also drew a complement of staffers from the Collins Pine Co. In the audience were plant manager Chris Verderber, forest manager Jay Francis and human resources manager Janice White.

Three hundred sixty-eight acres of Pacific Gas and Electric Co. land show evidence of last year’s emergency logging operations in the Humbug Valley. Allegations that the logging destroyed protected Mountain Maidu archeological sites have since put a rift between PG&E and tribal representatives. Photo courtesy Ken Holbrook |
Allegations of Native American archeological sites being destroyed by logging operations have caused a rift between members of the Maidu Summit and Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
In mid-April, tribe member Farrell Cunningham took a trip to Humbug Valley only to discover a nearly destroyed Maidu village site, a broken grinding rock, and devastated house pits — all of which he believed to be caused by last year’s logging operations.
In addition to the apparent damage, new archeological materials were discovered adjacent to an existing archeological site. Cunningham said, “Evidence of habitation is all around in the form of obsidian and basalt debitage (chips from production of stone tools) but no action has been taken by PG&E.”
