Severe Weather Causes Flooding, Road Closures, and Power Outages in Modoc County
Severe weather conditions have caused flooding, road closures, and power outages across Modoc County, prompting emergency response efforts from local agencies. Officials warn that more rain is expected, and residents are urged to remain cautious.
Modoc County Sheriff’s deputies and the Modoc County Road Department have been working throughout the day to assess conditions, clear culverts of debris, and maintain roadways.
Rising water levels have forced multiple road closures, including:
• County Roads 198 and 198A (Rush Creek) –Closed to through traffic as crews work in the area.
• Jones Lane (off County Road 60 and U.S. Highway 395) – Closed due to flooding as of 12:45 p.m. Monday.
• Fandango Pass –Closed on the Cedarville side at County Road 1 and on the Davis Creek/ New Pine Creek side at the Buck Creek Fire Station.
Authorities urge drivers to avoid these areas and to use extreme caution on wet or flooded roadways.
Pacific Power and Surprise Valley Electric have been working to restore electricity to affected areas.
• Power was restored Monday evening to
Cedarville, Steamboat and Eagleville.
• Fort Bidwell and Lake City remain without power, though Surprise Valley Electric estimated restoration by 9:30 p.m.
Residents can check Surprise Valley Electric’s outage page or its Facebook page for the latest updates.
The City of Alturas Public Works Department has issued a public service announcement, advising residents to limit water usage for the next several days. Officials say flooding is affecting the city’s wastewater system, leading to backups in some areas.
“With more rain expected, we ask residents to be cautious with the amount of water they are using,” the department said in a statement. Authorities urge residents to report power outages and hazardous conditions and to avoid unnecessary travel in flood-prone areas.
• To report a power outage – Call 530-2333511.
• For downed power lines – Stay at least 30 feet away and call 530233-3511.
• For emergencies –Dial 911 immediately.
Local officials continue to monitor the storm and will provide further updates as conditions develop.
Historic Barn South of Lakeview Collapses in Snowstorm
A well-known and longstanding barn south of Lakeview collapsed over the weekend under the weight of heavy snowfall from the recent winter storm. The barn, which had stood for approximately 70 years, was a familiar sight for residents of Northern California and Southern Oregon.
Many locals had speculated for years when the aging structure would finally succumb to the elements.
“A sad reminder of the past few days of the big
snowstorm of 2025,” said resident Margie Gray in one Facebook group. “Like losing an old friend. It was one of the first things I remember when we moved here in 1980. It showed its strength and endurance to so many over the years. It fought a good fight.”
Many commenters on the post suggested repurposing the barn’s wood for sentimental reasons, noting that people might be willing to pay a significant amount for a piece of the historic structure as a keepsake. However, the
owners have not stated whether they plan to sell or reuse the wood, nor is it clear if the material is in a condition suitable for repurposing, even for something as small as a picture frame. The barn had been a recognizable landmark for decades, serving as a nostalgic piece of the region’s rural history. The loss serves as a reminder of the storm’s impact, which brought snowfall, flooding and difficult conditions to the area.

Dear Editor,
I suppose that my beloved wife Jill and I likely qualify as “old folks” now since she’s 74 and I’m 75, but we still do not think of ourselves as old folks because we are not physically challenged and we still think young. However, not everyone in our age group and older still possess the requisite discriminating and discerning faculties to understand a scam aimed to swindle old folks when confronted with one.
I laud the Record for publishing an article regarding a specific scam that one of your readers brought to your attention. But the number of such scams are many and they involve all manners of issues.
My dear beloved late dad died in 2020 at age 95. He was a mechanical genius. I possess 28 patents and my dad never filed for a patent, but he was no less as inventive than I am, and probably even smarter than me in the realm of mechanical engineering. Though his body finally quit on him his mind remained razor sharp to the very end, however my dad had this naivete about him when it came to politics and socio-economic matters. You’d think that a man born-and-raised on a Native American reservation in the 1920s and who became a stand-out statewide high school football star, WWII decorated hero, and successful businessman would have retained a certain skepticism his entire 95 years regarding scams, but in the last several years of his amazing life I had to constantly tell him to stop believing the scams he was always receiving in phone calls and in the mail. Thank goodness that my dad always deferred to my advice in the last few years of his life.
Sadly not all old folks have someone right there to protect them from these egregious scammers.

Lassen County Fair Dates Announced Mark your calendars.
Celebrating 135 years of music and adventure in historic Susanville, the dates for the Lassen County Fair are set.
Slated for July 16 through the 20th, attendees can expect live music, the CCPRA sanctioned rodeo, the Demolition Derby on that Sunday, the carnival, horse shows, pageants, a parade, exhibits and contests, sideshows and games, and food and shopping, and all things fair over the four days.
Details on ticket sales, schedule, including performing artists and booths are coming soon, according to the Lassen County Fair website. This year’s theme is “Red White and Blue with a Mountain View.”
FAIR HISTORY
In 1878, a group of local men got together and created the Plumas, Lassen and Modoc District Fair Association, according to the Lassen County Fair website, courtesy of Susanvillestuff.com, written by Susan Couso. With money secured through investments, the first Lassen County Fair was held around 1890, an agricultural fair held under the guidelines oof the 24th Agricultural District. At the time, William Brockman was
the president of the organization.
The first fairgrounds were located where Hall Street and Ash Street is today, stretching from Main Street to 5th Street, and included a racetrack, stalls for the horses, exhibit buildings and a grandstand. Horse racing was a huge event in Lassen County. By 1923, the old fairgrounds had been abandoned and the area subdivided by Wright Patrick Hall. New homes filled the area, but a local fair brought much needed income to the area, a oncea-year event to bring the county together. Because of this need, another group of local men acted to secure the fair once again. They formed a nonprofit organization, The Lassen County Fair Association and purchased land, which is the current site of the fair. But the fair fell on hard times. Buildings were in disrepair and money was not available for repair. In 1933, House Bill 1267 provided for the licensing and regulation of horse racing to provide revenue for agriculture. Ideas resurfaced to reform and emerge as a livestock show, using horse racing to provide the much-needed money.
The Lassen County Fair Association was dissolved, and the property was deeded to Lassen County, the website continued.
In 1936, the first livestock show was held and well received. The organization built several new buildings and made plans for future shows. Two years later, the first horse show was added, and the Lassen County Fair began to thrive. New attractions and exhibits continued to form.
During World War II, the fair was put on hold from 1942 through 1945 but resurfaced after. Every aspect of Lassen County life was showcased. Today, Lassen County Fair has been shaped by past successes and failures, and the desires of the current Lassen County citizens who gather every year.

Pastor Clarence McCarty will deliver her graveside service.
February 15 at 11:00 am at the Davis Creek Cemetery. A reception will follow at Christian Life Assembly, 225 West B St. Alturas, CA at 12:30 pm.
It was an honor and a privilege for her daughter, Laura Coallegos and husband Melvin Flynn to be with Roxana through the final days of her life.
Roxana was married to Melvin Flynn for 50 years, both graduating Modoc High School in 1966. They lived in Canby, Ca before
relocating to Redding, Ca for the last five years to be closer to their family.
Roxana’s faith and family gave her great joy. She enjoyed rides in the woods and had great compassion for her menagerie of critters that she collected at her Canby, CA home. She loved sewing, crocheting,embroidery, and judging 4-H. Roxana was involved in her community. She will be missed.
She was survived by three daughters and their families: daughter Laura Gallegos; Rhonda Nelson and husband John Nelson and Desiree Flynn; her grandchildren Cortney and Travis Gallegos, Lavena and Joseph; great grandchildren Wakizashi Dasy Harris, and Boss Harris, Sister Rhonda Sweet and husband Michael Watson, Adin, CA.

Bill grew up on Modoc Manor in Alturas, graduating from Modoc High School with the class of ‘68. Continuing his education, Bill earned a Bachelor of Science from UC Davis in 1974. He returned to Modoc to resume his employment with the US Forest Service for the next 32 years, and to marry his high school sweetheart, Cheryl (Ohm),
making Cedarville his and his family’s home for the remainder of his life. Bill was always community oriented. He was active in performing arts, Fandango Days, Rotary, the school system, volunteering as an EMT and was forever willing to do whatever was needed to support the place and people he loved. He will be remembered eternally for his authentic ability to talk to anyone, his big smile, hearty laugh, entertaining stories, sweet dance moves, beautiful singing and, most of all, his everlasting love for his family. Bill was a “one of a kind” kind of guy, and he was loved deeply.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Jean Tierney, mother-in-law Pat Ash (Ray Rankin), father-in-
law Gordon Ash, fatherin-law Edward Ohm, brother-in-law, David Ash and numerous other cherished and beloved extended family.

showcasing the space. Find more pictures of the event here.
The new classroom will accommodate 10 additional students aged 12 months to 36 months, enhancing the capacity of the Redding Rancheria Head Start to now serve 61 Native American students across four vibrant classes. This expansion represents a significant
step in supporting the development and cultural needs of young children in the community.
“At Redding Rancheria Head Start, we have the unique privilege of integrating early childhood education with the rich cultural traditions of our Native American heritage,” said Tracy Edwards, CEO of the Redding
Rancheria, in a press release. “This new space allows us to reach more families while continuing to provide a nurturing and culturally enriching environment for our youngest learners.”

growth of each child. By combining academic preparation with cultural integration, Redding Rancheria provides a holistic early learning experience to students. For more information about the Redding Rancheria Head Start and Childcare program, visit ReddingRancheriansn.gov.
Far too common
It is scary to think about, but important to recognize how common teen dating violence is This abuse can have long-lasting effects, including a higher risk for substance abuse, eating disorders, further domestic violence, and even suicide
1 in 10 high school students have been hit, slapped, or physically hurt by a partner
Young women between the ages of 16 & 24 experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence.
Where you come in
1 in 3 adolesencts in the U.S. is a victim of physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner.
40% of teenage girls aged 14-17 report knowing someone who has been hit slapped, or pushed by a partner
Only 33% of teens who are in an abusive relationship ever tell anyone about the abuse while it is happening and 81% of parents believe teen dating violence is not an issue, or don’t know if it is. Talking to your teens about relationships can help them recognize warning signs and stay in healthy relationships. There is no easy solution, but open dialogue can encourage them to seek support (from you or someone else) if they are in an unhealthy or abusive relationship.
Warning Signs
Teens may be experiencing a variety of physical and emotional changes during this time of their life and they may not readily share with you all of the changes they are experiencing. Be on the lookout for any of these potential signs:
Do you notice your teen:
Spending less time with family and friends?
Excessively text messaging, phone calling, emailing or visiting with their partner?
Giving up things that used to be important to them?
Having declining grades or missing school?
Being pressured by a partner about what to do, where to go, or what to wear?
Being worried about upsetting their boyfriend/girlfriend?
Apologizing or making excuses for their boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s behavior?
Has injuries that he/she tries to cover up or can’t explain?
Has a partner who is extremely jealous or possessive?
Being depressed or anxious?
Has a partner that abuses other people or animals?
Dressing differently?
*Note: These are warning signs. Paying attention to them is important, but noticing one does not necessarily mean your child is in an abusive relationship. Many can be natural changes that happen over the course of teenage years.

According to folklore, if Phil sees his shadow, winter will linger for six more weeks; if he doesn’t, an early spring is on the way. This year, winter enthusiasts rejoiced while those hoping for an early thaw were left to bundle up a little longer.
Phil’s prediction is based on a tradition dating back to 1887, carried on by the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s Inner
Street. The T.E.A.C.H., Inc. office is located at 112 East 2nd Street in Alturas.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of the first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets and of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE:
The California Department of Water Resources (Department) operates facilities which conserve, store, transport and deliver water to urban and agricultural water agencies throughout the State. Since 1960, the Department has approved, planned and constructed a system of water storage and transportation and power generation facilities (the State Water Project). Currently, State Water Project water is conveyed across the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through the natural channels of the Delta formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, as those channels have been modified over the past 150 years.
The Department has undertaken to develop a comprehensive plan for the effective delivery of State Water Project water across the Delta. The Department is currently undertaking planning and design activities regarding potential new Delta conveyance facilities. The facilities under review would transport water from new intake points on the Sacramento River at the northern edge of the Delta through an underground tunnel running below the natural waterways of the Delta to State Water Project export facilities at or below the southern edge of the Delta. These facilities would be a further modification of the Feather River Project authorized pursuant to the Central Valley Project Act, Water Code sections 11100 et seq.
The Department has established a proposed revenue bond financing to finance the cost of the environmental review, planning, engineering and design, and if and when appropriate, the acquisition and construction of Delta conveyance facilities. On January 6, 2025, the Department adopted a bond resolution authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for those purposes. Under the bond resolution, bonds for construction cannot be issued unless specific conditions precedent are satisfied, which include regulatory and statutory requirements regarding the physical and environmental aspects of approving, constructing, and operating Delta conveyance facilities.
On January 7, 2025, the Department filed a validation action to confirm the legal validity of the Department’s proposed bond financing. A validation action is a judicial proceeding in which a governmental agency, like the Department, can confirm the validity of a proposed financial transaction before it commits to or undertakes the transaction. The Department’s validation complaint, the bond resolution, and a copy of this Summons are available on the Department’s internet website at: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/ State-Water-Project/Delta-Conveyance/Public-Information.
