Supervisors Approve Contracts, Consider Solid Waste Appeals in Busy July 8 Meeting

The Modoc County Board of Supervisors held a full agenda Tuesday during its regular July 8 meeting, which included contract approvals, a public hearing on solid waste appeals, and recognition of a longtime employee.

The meeting began with a resolution honoring Cindy Mohr, Support Services Administrator, for her years of distinguished service.

Supervisors also voted to authorize a letter opposing Assembly Bill 532, proposed by Assemblymember Rodgers. The bill, if passed, would limit local permitting authority, drawing concern from the Board.

A scheduled public hearing on solid waste appeals drew attention as the Board, acting under Public Works, reviewed and determined

the outcome of Fiscal Year 2024–2025 appeals regarding solid waste assessments.

Multiple contracts were approved under the consent agenda:

• A grant agreement with the California Air Resources Board for $29,335.15 to support Modoc County Air Pollution Control District activities through 2029.

• A $35,500 contract with Behavioral Health Data Project to develop the 2026–2029 Integrated Plan.

• A recurring agreement with CalMHSA for the Psychiatric Inpatient Concurrent Review Program, totaling $8,232 for the coming year.

• A Specialty Mental Health Services agreement with the state Department of Health Care Services, running through the end of 2026. Supervisors also

approved the distribution of excess proceeds from the 2024 tax sale and adopted the amended 2025 Modoc County Investment Policy.

Road and airport matters included approval of a revised Memorandum of Agreement with the FAA and California State Historic Preservation Officer regarding a perimeter fence project at Tulelake Municipal Airport.

Among administrative items, the Board approved a salary increase for Road Commissioner Mitch Crosby, setting his monthly compensation at $11,947.56, and authorized application submissions for CalRecycle Payment Programs. Public attendance is always welcome.

Modoc County turns out in force for packed holiday weekend Modoc Officials Warn of Summer Outages as Wildfire Safety Settings Take Effect

From fireworks on the causeway in Cedarville to parades through town, this year’s Fourth of July weekend delivered a full slate of celebration across the county.

Lake City’s Friday morning parade featured local emergency services, vintage trucks and cars, Red Ryder wagons, a donkey rider, and an aspiring tricky rider. Children lined the road and cheered as the smalltown procession made its way through.

The weekend really began with First Friday in downtown Cedarville. Families visited vendor booths, shops stayed open late, and live music brought energy to the streets. That night, fireworks over the Cedarville causeway drew a large crowd. In Alturas, Canby hosted its own show, capping off the evening with a strong turnout and a bright display. In Alturas, the

Fandango Days parade brought one of the largest crowds in recent memory. Floats, horses, fire trucks, and performers marched down Main Street. Many locals said it was the best Fandango parade they’d seen in years.

Veterans Park filled quickly after the parade for a full afternoon of food, music, and vendors. A new stage near the train was a highlight, with live bands drawing steady crowds throughout the day.

The Rotary Club’s duck race followed the parade. All 2,500 ducks were sold, and the $10,000 grand prize went to a local winner. Each event added something unique, and together they made the weekend one to remember. Thanks to every organizer, performer, and volunteer who helped make it possible. Modoc showed up strong.

Modoc County residents should expect power outages throughout the summer as Pacific Power continues using wildfire safety settings to help prevent fires, city officials said in a recent newsletter.

The outages are part of a program called Enhanced Safety Settings, which automatically shuts off electricity when power lines are touched by tree branches, wildlife or high winds. These safety features are designed to reduce the risk of fire but can cause power to go out without warning, and sometimes for extended periods.

Unlike planned Public Safety Power Shutoffs, which come with advance notice, Enhanced Safety Settings are triggered instantly by environmental conditions. The company’s equipment is adjusted to respond more quickly during wildfire season, making the system more sensitive to any disturbance.

Outages may last longer than usual because line crews are required to inspect the full length of the power line before restoring service. Pacific Power said its teams

of meteorologists and safety staff monitor fire conditions daily and update their response plans based on the risk level.

Residents in high fire risk zones, including parts of Modoc County, Lassen and Siskiyou, may experience multiple outages a week during the peak of summer. Pacific Power has advised customers to update their contact information and sign up for alerts by phone, email or text.

City Council members say they have received briefings on the issue and are working to keep the public informed. Residents are encouraged to prepare by keeping emergency kits on hand, planning for food and medicine needs, and making backup arrangements for medical devices.

The utility company said the outages, while frustrating, are an important part of protecting communities from wildfire. Officials have asked for patience as crews work to patrol and safely restore power after each event.

Customers can check current outage maps and updates at PacificPower. net/Outages.

Fifth Annual Hot Summer Night, Cruise, Car Show & BBQ

VFW Post 7888 will be hosting its Fifth Annual Hot Summer Night, Cruise, Car Show and BBQ. Which is coming up soon! The first of two nights of motorized entertainment in Surprise Valley, back to back. On Friday the 18th of July 2025, the Surprise Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars will be hosting their Hot Summer Night event. A motorized parade, also known as a “Cruise” will start at the Modoc County Fairgrounds. Parade participants will need to be at the parking lot of the fairgrounds in Cedarville at 5pm to line up. The Cruise is open to anything with a motor and wheels. Be it a finely tuned classic, to a work in progress to even an “Oddity On Wheels”. There is no judging or awards for the parade. Just an organized

cruise down main street Cedarville to start the evening at 5:30pm. The cruise will end at the VFW Hall, located about a quarter of a mile north of Cedarville. There the parade participants can park their vehicles, and the car show will start. After the last vehicle has been parked, the Bar B Cue dinner will start. Dinner consists of Mahogany grilled, sliced Tri Tip served on a Hoagie Roll with your choice of toppings and sauces. A cold pasta salad, house recipe baked beans, chilled sliced watermelon and a non alcoholic beverage. The price of the dinner is $20.00, and kids under the age of ten years old eat for free with the purchase of an adult meal.

While you enjoy some of the best Bar B Cue in the valley, there will

be a live band playing under the sun screen for the duration of the evening. We will have an outside bar set up for cold beverages and you can walk around and look at the collection of motorized history parked right next to the hall. It will be a great evening with lots of great food, great entertainment and great cars and trucks that are sure to spark some stories and memories.

On Saturday the 19th at the Modoc County Fairgrounds, races! The races will start at 6pm, but the concession stand operated by the Lake City Volunteer Fire Department will be open and serve food and drinks at 5pm. Grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and a variety of snacks will be available. Another great night of family entertainment.

CAL FIRE Arrests Two on Felony Firearms Charges in Susanville

Two people were arrested on felony firearms charges Sunday after CAL FIRE officers responded to reports of possible fireworks being thrown from a moving vehicle in Susanville, according to a news release from the Lassen Modoc Unit.

CAL FIRE law enforcement officers arrived at the scene

around 3 p.m. on July 6 and conducted a traffic stop. During the investigation, they discovered the individuals in the vehicle were in possession of multiple firearms, not fireworks as initially reported. Shell casings were also found in the vicinity where gunshots were allegedly heard. One suspect was

arrested for a felony parole violation under Penal Code 3056, and the other was booked for possession of an assault weapon under Penal Code 30605. Both were transported to Lassen County Jail. CAL FIRE expressed its appreciation to the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office for assisting in the investigation.

Looking Back

118 Years Ago – 1907

WE NOW HAVE three prisoners in the county jail: one for murder, one for horse stealing, and one for selling liquor to Indians. It begins to look like Modoc is becoming civilized. The good old days when the county enjoyed immunity from depredations by thieves are indeed gone. . . Workmen on the Romero place have uncovered two skeletons, one of an adult and the other a child. They are most likely some remainer of a dark tragedy years ago.

98 Years Ago – 1927

OSCAR GIBBONS and Charles Ballard have purchased the old Spenser and Raker law office and their two boys, Jack Gibbons and Francis Ballard, will remodel it into an up-todate dwelling. These two enterprising boys recently remodeled the Beck house damaged by fire and made a beautiful job out of it.

88 Years Ago – 1937 ACCEPTANCE or rejection of bonds which will provide a new high school building for Modoc Union High will be decided in a school bond election July 15. . . The new deer tag law requires that hunters pay not only $1 for their license, but an additional $1 for the two

deer tags. And you have to have your license before you can buy the tags.

78 Years Ago – 1947

THE LIKELY ROPING Club has filed articles of incorporation with the state. . . John Smitt, formerly of Oakland and now a resident of Cedarville, has been named secretary-manager of the Modoc County Fair.

68 Years Ago – 1957

MODOC SUPERVISORS have voted approval for a $10,000 per year salary for the road commissioner, making that job the highest paid county position. The welfare director was raised to $491 per month. . . Chris Starr has been named the star teacher of agriculture in the state of California by the California Ag Teachers Association.

63 Years Ago – 1962

THERE WAS a lot of fireworks in the Supervisor’s’ chambers this week when a citizen delegation appeared to protest the creation of a County Council position in Modoc. . . Temperatures were down to 33 degrees above in Alturas this week. It is becoming one of the coolest summers in memory.

Proceeds from the duck race go toward Rotary Club community projects and youth programs. Organizers thanked the community for another sold-out year and the many local sponsors who donated prizes.

Thank you.

I would like to thank Dr. Self, Nurse Kelley and radiologist, Oleg, for the very professional and kind way they treated me in a recent visit to the E.R. They made my experience as comfortable and calm as the situation possibly have allowed. We are very fortunate to have such “healing hands close to home.”

Robin

Thank you

A great big shout out and thank you to Grocery Outlet and Alturas Ranches for their generosity and support of our recent fundraising booth at the Modoc Fandango Days celebration. Your kindness was beyond measure and very much appreciated. Thank you, also, to all who volunteered and worked so tirelessly, and a very special thank you to all who attended.

Obituaries

Frank Edward Savage

Frank Edward Savage passed away unexpectedly on June 13th, in Stockton, California. He was born on August 28th, 1964, in Montpelier, Idaho, to proud parents Norman and Victoria Savage. The family moved to Susanville in 1966, and Frank attended local schools and graduated from Lassen High School in 1982. Frank’s passion for being a cowboy started on the Satica Ranch when he was a young boy. He would get rides from his uncle Benito so he could go to the ranch and help with ranch chores. Frank was part of many brandings and cattle drives at the Satica Ranch while growing up. While he was still in high school, he started working for Larry and Zeta Hansen at the Horse Lake Ranch where Cousin Bob Satica worked. That was the start of a lifelong, close relationship between Bob (AKA Chuck) and Frank. After high school, Frank buckarooed at several ranches including, Swickard’s 5 Dot, Smoke Creek and the Jack Estill Ranch in Likely. After discovering he loved the work but not the pay, Frank looked for other job opportunities. He went to Texas to train cutting horses in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. After a year or so in Texas, he decided to come back to California. He started working in construction in the Sacramento/Elk Grove area. By 1996, Frank obtained his General Contractor’s license and started Smoke Creek Construction as a side business. He met Joe and Cindy Alexander in the early 90s and discovered the town of Loma Rica and the Alexander Ranch. Joe and Cindy became second parents to Frank, and he started his residency on the Alexander Ranch with his “mobile condo” fifth wheel trailer. Loma Rica gave Frank an opportunity to get back into the cowboy lifestyle he loved so much. He

helped Joe with his cows and spent some quality time on Table Mountain working cattle. Frank bought some of his own cattle and established Savage Livestock in 1994 and built up his herd over the years. He met new friends Dean Spinelli, Travis Jackson, Mark Brum and Jay Wagner during this time, and they became best friends enjoying chasing cows on the weekend as they all had full-time jobs.

As Frank continued his work in the construction field, he became Project Manager for BRCO Contractors in 2010 and remained in that position until 2013. In July of 2013, Frank embarked on a new adventure. He left Loma Rica and took a job as Ranch Manager for Farmland LP in Burns California where he worked until the time of his death. This was Frank’s “feeding America” stage of his life. He was instrumental in bringing a commonsense approach to organic, regenerative agriculture to Farmland LP. He was featured on “Fridays on the Farm with Frank” video clips over the last year and became a bit of a social influencer. He helped Farmland LP become one of the most successful organic and regenerative agriculture companies in the US. Frank is survived by his girlfriend, Soraya Taylor (niece, Makayla Taylor) Stockton, CA. Brother, Albert Savage (Sheila), Alturas, CA. Nephews: Kaleb Savage (Mako), Anchorage, AK., Donovan Savage (Jasmine), Phoenix, AZ., Aunts: Norma Garate, Susanville, CA., Dolly Pratt, Alturas, CA., Sharon Vadnais, Kilgore, ID., Uncle: Norbert Cordoba (Pam), Susanville CA., and numerous cousins and friends. A Celebration of Life is planned for September 13th, in Susanville at the Satica Ranch. Frank will be missed dearly but never forgotten.

Date of Birth: 8/6/1940 Age: 84

Hometown: Alturas, CA • Birthplace: Arcadia, CA

Date of Death: 6/23/2025

Micki was born on a farm in Clinton County, Iowa, on June 9, 1937, to Margaret Julia Nugent and Robert Ligouri McClimon. She attended one-room country schools until World War II, when her father left farming to work in the construction of military hospitals in Illinois and Iowa. Micki then attended Saint Anne’s School in Galesburg, Illinois, and Saint Anthony’s School in Davenport, Iowa. She graduated from LeClaire, Iowa, High School, where she made many lifelong friends and was a member of the National Honor Society. Micki went on to attend the University of Iowa.

After college, Micki moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where she was employed by General Motors. It was there, through mutual friends, that she met Jim Kaderabek, a student at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Micki and Jim were married on September 6, 1958. Jim’s first job took them to Topeka, Kansas, where their daughters, Jill and Jody, were born. Jim’s career with the U.S. Forest Service took the family to the small, rural town of Big Creek, California, where their son, Todd, was born.

In 1968, the family was transferred to the Big Bend Ranger District on Donner Summit, where they experienced recordbreaking snowfall. It was here that Micki started the first Brownie Girl Scout troop and arranged the bookmobile to make regular visits to the rugged area, ensuring that rural children had access to books. The family quickly adapted to the winters and discovered a love for skiing, a passion Micki continued throughout her life, skiing with her children and grandchildren until the age of 73.

In 1969, they were transferred to the Sierraville Ranger District, where Micki became a 4-H leader and helped establish

treasured the time spent with her grandkids and great-grandchildren, making them feel unique and special. Whether attending their activities, having them for sleepovers, celebrating their milestones, or traveling across the country to cheer them on in football or volleyball, Micki was there with open arms and a heart full of love. She delighted in playing with them, spoiling them with affection, and cherishing every moment they shared.

and Dave Wright. She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Jim Kaderabek of Weiser, Idaho; daughters Jill (Jerome) Grandi of Weiser, Jody Hermanson of Durham, North Carolina, and son Todd (Katherine) Kaderabek of Asheville, North Carolina. Also surviving are her siblings Pat Ricketts, Dyan (Scott) McClimon-Miller, Marty McClimon, and Maureen (Mike) Shara; and sisters-in-law Pat McClimon, Ann Koeper, and Polly Wright.

the Toddler Towers Preschool. During their time in Northern California, she commuted to Reno and Chico, graduating from the University of Nevada, fulfilling her dream of becoming a math teacher. She went on to teach in Big Valley and Alturas, California, before moving to Weiser, Idaho. Despite being retired, her love for teaching math brought her back to the classroom at Weiser High School, where she helped implement a new math curriculum. After retiring a second time, Micki continued to substitute teach at the high school.

An avid runner, Micki participated in hundreds of races, including the Boston Marathon and the Robie Creek Half Marathon in her early 60s. She shared her passion for running by coaching track in Alturas and volunteering countless hours timing track meets in Weiser with Jim.

Micki and Jim enjoyed traveling, embarking on annual fishing trips to Canada and a memorable six-week camping adventure through Alaska. Their travels took them to all 50 states, an important milestone to Micki. One of their most meaningful trips was to Ireland, where Micki, alongside her sisters, proudly embraced her 100% Irish heritage.

Micki cherished the time spent with friends and family, often opening their home to both. She was an active participant in several bridge groups and regularly hosted bridge parties. Her bridge friendships remained a cherished part of her life, with bonds that continued to bring joy and companionship until the very end. A lifelong reader, Micki was a supporter of the Weiser Library, where she found community and forged friendships through the local book club.

Micki’s love for her family was evident in everything she did. She

Micki’s faith was an integral part of her life, which she passed on to her children and grandchildren. As a lifelong Catholic, she instilled the importance of the mass and the rosary to her children, including the make-shift campground church twice a month in rural California. She attended parochial schools, taught CCD, and volunteered in numerous roles at church, serving as a reader and Eucharistic minister and laundered & ironed the church linens for years. Her passion for learning and sharing with others remained strong throughout her life, and she always found ways to give back to her community. Her devotion to her faith and her family, along with her zest for life, left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.

Micki was preceded in death by her parents, Margaret and Bob McClimon; brother, Dan McClimon; and son-inlaw, Ted Hermanson; nephews Tim McClimon, Jay Morgan, and Kevin Morgan; brothers-inlaw Ron Morgan, Rick Ricketts, Max Koeper,

Micki was a proud grandmother to Odo (Anna) Grandi, Sally Grandi, Libby (David) Johns, Thames (Ty) Higginbotham, and Miller (Emily) Kaderabek, and a cherished greatgrandmother to Ava Grandi, Madison Johns, Hayes Grandi, Silas Johns, Della Grandi, Tripp Grandi, and Robert Higginbotham. She also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews.

MESA Students Explore College Opportunities

On June 22-24, 2025, seventeen Surprise Valley and Modoc Joint middle and high school

RISE-MESA College Preparation (MCP) students celebrated a year of academic achievements with a three-day field trip touring a university campus and celebrating at an amusement park and powwow. The large group was chaperoned by MESA Director Billie Austin and RISE Director Lisa Craig.

A tour of California State University, East Bay (CSU East Bay) in Hayward included a walk-through of the Student Service & Administrative building, with an exciting visit to the Valley Business & Technology Center. Students were introduced to an engineering summer program offered at CSU East Bay, where they were viewed bridges constructed of balsa wood and 3-D printing projects in development. At the MESA University Preparation program on campus, each youth received MESA swag, to continue on the tour at the new library, Art &

Education and the Music buildings. The group peered through research lab windows, observing students working on diverse research projects in the Science Building and enjoyed lunch at the Dining Commons.

During a brief photo opportunity in the redwoods at CSU East Bay, Trinity Yates expressed her excitement, saying, “I could see myself attending art classes here when I go to college.”

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was a wellearned incentive addition enjoyed by everyone. RISE-MESA students encountered thrilling roller coaster rides that support diverse physic applications confronted in MESA Day contests. On the return home, a tour of Shasta College in Redding was included. Surprise Valley High 2025 graduate, Rena Linton, has an education plan in veterinarian education. She was eager to learn about an Animal Science program offered at Shasta College, remarking, “That Agriculture program aligns with what I want

to do in my career.” Native culture was an unexpected addition to the field trip. They squeezed in a Redding Rancheria’s Powwow dance class. The youth were greeted with smiles and encouraged to join in the dance circle. Instructors Dani Brewster and Dylan Jeude led them through targeted exercises for the required muscle groups before practicing. After learning the importance of warming up the body and muscles, cooling down from dance practice, and playing different powwow games, they were treated to a Panda Express dinner with community members.

Surprise Valley MESA student Arthur Delgado stepped up to thank Cultural Advisor Louise Davis for welcoming them as guests. Davis reciprocated with appreciation and telling Delgado that the group is welcomed to come back.

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL US-395 ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN

Beginning July 9, 2025, the Susanville, Alturas, and Quincy Areas will be committed to an enforcement campaign on US-395 from the Oregon border to the Nevada border.

The focus of this enforcement campaign is to reduce the number of injuries and fatal collisions that occur on US-395. Our enforcement efforts will focus on the primary collision factors, such as speeding, unsafe passing, driving under the influence, and commercial vehicle violations.

Over the past 10 years, 29 fatal collisions have occurred on the US-395 corridor between Oregon and Nevada.

The CHP reminds you of the following practices to help everyone arrive at their destination safely: Leave early so you are not in a rush. Be patient for the next safe passing area. Do not drive distracted

In addition to enforcement, we will try to educate the motoring public with traffic safety messaging, utilizing social media, in-person contacts, and traditional media methods.

– that message can wait. Always wear your seatbelt and ensure children are properly restrained. Do not drive intoxicated – designate a sober driver.

Reduce your speed and increase your following distance from other vehicles.

Report reckless and suspected DUI drivers. Call 9-1-1 for CHP Dispatch 24/7

What Modoc County Pet Owners Need to Know

About Leash Laws and Loose Animals

A dog running loose in Modoc County might be more than a neighborhood nuisance—it could lead to fines, impoundment or worse. Both the City of Alturas and Modoc County have strict rules on dogs at large, leash requirements and responsible ownership. These rules are in place to protect the public, animals and property. In Alturas, any animal found off its owner’s property without a leash or physical control is considered “at large.” Dogs must be restrained or confined unless they’re actively involved in police work or participating in a permitted event like training or exhibitions. Owners are also responsible for cleaning up their animals’ waste,

controlling noise and preventing them from damaging property or harassing people. If a dog is left to wander while in heat or is found repeatedly off leash, it may be labeled a nuisance or even dangerous. Owners can face fines and possibly lose the right to keep animals in the city. In the county, similar rules apply. Any dog roaming free outside its property, without being under someone’s control, is considered at large and may be impounded. Dogs used for herding or hunting are exempt while performing those duties. Unlicensed or unvaccinated dogs found running loose can be taken in by the sheriff or animal control officer. If not claimed within four to

six days, the dog may be rehomed or euthanized. Owners can reclaim their pets after paying fines

and proving vaccinations are current. County rules also make it illegal to dump unwanted animals,

punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or six months in jail. Both city and county ordinances define what makes a dog “potentially dangerous” or “vicious.”

A dog that bites someone unprovoked or attacks other pets multiple times can be labeled as such.

In Alturas, these animals must be confined, licensed with a special designation, and in some cases, insured.

In serious cases, they can be ordered destroyed. The county follows similar rules and gives owners a chance to appeal decisions in superior court.

Alturas also restricts how many dogs and cats a person can own—four dogs and six cats over six months of age—unless they have a kennel or rescue license. Both

jurisdictions require dogs over four months old to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed annually. Dogs must wear tags for both license and vaccination at all times. Failure to follow the rules can result in citations, escalating fines and legal action. For residents of Modoc, responsible pet ownership is more than just a good idea—it’s the law. Keeping dogs on a leash, licensing them, and making sure they don’t become a threat to others protects not just people and pets, but the right to keep animals in the first place. For more information, contact the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office or Alturas City Hall.

Recent Thunderstorms Caused Lightning That Ignited Small Fires In The Modoc National Forest

Thunderstorms recently passed through Modoc County and the Modoc National Forest, resulting in approximately 2,037 lightning strikes across the area. The storms from June 30 to July 3 caused 12 confirmed fires attributed to lightning and one abandoned campfire. Fortunately, all these fires were kept relatively small, with the largest being reported at 19.8 acres.

Currently, there are no weather watches or advisories for the Modoc National Forest in the coming days but could change if conditions are right. The forecast

predicts summer-like warm temperatures, drier conditions, and light winds over the next week.

It is important to note that holdover lightning fires can smolder for days or even weeks after a thunderstorm. It may take several days of dry and warm weather for these fires to become visible.

Firefighters will continue to monitor the area and respond to any lightning fires as they are discovered in the coming days.

Currently, the forest is not under fire restrictions; however, it is crucial to prevent human-caused wildfires, especially while firefighters respond to lightning-related incidents. Campfires should never be left unattended and must be completely extinguished, cool to the touch, before leaving the area. Please check with your local forest for current alerts and conditions. Know before you go!

Modoc County Sheriff’s Office

Awarded CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant for Second Year

The Modoc County Sheriff’s Office has received the California Highway Patrol’s Cannabis Tax Fund Grant for the second consecutive year.

Last year’s grant funding was used to purchase a DUI enforcement vehicle, (4) preliminary alcohol screening devices, (2) oral fluid mobile testing devices (rapid drug screening tool), DUI and DUID training for deputies, (2) mobile message boards, and additional funding for additional DUI/DUID saturation patrols. The electronic message signs are deployed during holidays and special events to remind drivers to stay safe and avoid driving while impaired.

This year, the department is expanding its efforts with a strong focus on education. A portion of the 24/26 funding will go towards a new Simulated Impaired Driving Experience kart. The custom-built kart allows drivers and passengers to experience what can happen when they operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or marijuana.

This year, the department is expanding its efforts with a strong focus on education.

“It’s a big step forward in keeping our roads safer,” says Modoc County Sheriff Tex Dowdy.

The department is also

investing in prevention and public education, particularly among adolescents. MCSO plans to purchase a golf cart that will serve as an interactive teaching tool at schools and community events. The cart will be equipped with DUI simulation goggles to demonstrate the effects of impaired driving in a safe, controlled setting.

“We are trying to change the culture of DUIs and DUI arrests,” Dowdy said. “We have zero tolerance, no matter what your age is. We want to educate people about the seriousness of this situation and the repercussions.”

“Rolling out and educating everyone in the community is our top priority,” said Liz Hallmark, a member of the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office team.

“This grant is all about education.”

Hallmark added that the department hopes to reach people of all ages with the message that impaired driving is never acceptable — no matter the distance.

“Whether you’re going 10 miles or one mile, you are still driving while intoxicated,” she said. “There’s no excuse, and we want people to understand the risks before they make that decision.”

Sheriff Dowdy said the ultimate goal is prevention, especially

among youth.

“We hope that with this effort we can lower the amount of DUIs and prevent them from ever happening by educating young people about the dangers of driving while impaired,” he said.

Driving under the influence (DUI) doesn’t stop at alcohol consumption. Operating or riding in a vehicle while impaired by cannabis products, including edibles, vapes, dab pens, and other THC-based substances, is illegal and punishable under DUI laws. “We now have all the resources to detach that in the field,” says Dowdy.

The Modoc County Sheriff’s Office has long been involved in youth education efforts. Dowdy was present when the Modoc Joint Unified School District first launched the Every 15 Minutes program — a nationally recognized initiative that simulates the real-life consequences of drinking and driving. The program is held every three years so that each high school student has the opportunity to experience it during their time in school. The most recent event was held in 2024.

Since the program’s introduction, the department has seen a notable decline in DUI incidents among young drivers, which it attributes to early

outreach, peer-led demonstrations, and hands-on learning.

The CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program helps local agencies reduce impaired driving incidents, involving alcohol, cannabis and other drugs. The Modoc County Sheriff’s Office says it remains committed to using these resources to promote public safety, responsible decisionmaking, and long-term prevention through community engagement.

• Social Worker IV (B) $5,001.00 - $7,756.00 per month

• Social Worker Supervisor I $5,001.00 - $7,756.00 per month • Social Worker Supervisor II $5,525.00 - $8,573.00

Summer Explorer Program Returns to Modoc with Hands-On Healthcare Internships, STEM Fun, and Career Exploration

The Summer Explorer Program is in full swing once again in Modoc County, giving local youth an exciting opportunity to learn, earn, and make a difference in their community. Hosted through Advancing Modoc, this unique workbased learning program invites local youth to take on summer work based learning that blends professional development, community engagement, and hands-on outreach throughout the summer months.

Each student intern will complete 30 hours of service and earn a $500 stipend, while gaining practical experience across a variety of health care, computer sciences, and education career pathways. These opportunities not only build valuable skills but also introduce participants to emerging fields and local workforce needs.

Projects with Purpose

This year’s Summer Explorers are involved in several dynamic community projects, including:

• GSK Science of Science at Alturas Elementary School: Summer Explorers are teaming up with grades 2–4 to explore the Healthcare Pathway using GSK’s science curriculum. With guidance from Advancing Modoc staff, they’re introducing young students to real-world

health careers such as athletic training, dietetics, and orthopedic medicine.

• Junior Gardeners at the Community Garden: Summer Explorers dig into the world of healthy eating—all while working with Junior Gardener participants and helping keep the community garden blooming.

• Money Bunny Financial Literacy at the Modoc County Library: By combining fun storytelling with practical skills, students help younger children build and grow basic financial literacy.

• Oral Health Outreach at the Library: Interns share kid-friendly stories focused on oral hygiene and overall health education.

• AI & Robotics Mini-Camps at Modoc College Center: Future tech leaders get hands-on with coding and robotics, exploring artificial intelligence and STEM concepts in an engaging camp-style format.

Engaging the Community Summer Explorers don’t just work with youth—they’re also active in community events. Interns conduct some outreach for CalKIDS Child Savings Accounts (CSAs) at local farmers’ markets and resource fairs, sharing how these savings accounts can help families plan for future college expenses. They

also interact with regional employers and agencies during career and resource fairs, where they conduct informational interviews to better understand local job opportunities and the skills employers seek.

Weekly Professional Training

Each week, interns receive training on youth engagement, communication, professionalism, and job readiness. These sessions are designed to ensure interns are prepared to work with younger students, collaborate with peers, and present themselves confidently in professional settings.

“We’re excited to see our interns take the lead in classrooms, libraries, and community events,” said Tara Yarberry, Advancing Modoc College Center CoDirector. “This program gives them a real-world introduction to career pathways while building a stronger connection between our youth and the community.”

As Summer Explorers dive into science, service, and skills training, they’re also laying the foundation for a brighter future— both for themselves and for Modoc County as a whole.

For more information about the Summer Explorer Program or to learn how to get involved, contact Advancing Modoc at the College Center in Alturas.

Scammers Are On the Rise

listings. Scammers are posting houses and apartments for rent in Alturas and nearby towns — often using photos stolen from legitimate real estate websites.

One of the most common scams reported locally involves fake rental

Victims are asked to send deposits or first-month

rent before ever seeing the inside of the home. In many cases, the property is not actually for rent or doesn’t belong to the person posting it.

People are getting tricked into wiring money or sending payments

through apps like Zelle or Cash App. A writer at Modoc Record spotted her own home listed in a fake ad. “The listing used my house photos from years ago.”

Authorities recommend never sending money without confirming the rental in person and meeting the landlord or property manager directly. Scammers often claim they are out of town or unable to show the home but will offer a discount if payment is made quickly.

Phone scams are also active in the area.

Reports include callers posing as PG&E, Amazon, or government agencies, demanding immediate payment or personal information.

Others impersonate law enforcement and claim the victim has missed jury duty or owes fines,

then pressure them to pay using gift cards or wire transfers.

A newer tactic involves “spoofing,” where scammers disguise their phone number to make it appear local. This can make even cautious residents more likely to answer or trust the call.

On social media, especially Facebook, fake buyer and seller accounts are also on the rise. Some offer unbeatable prices on popular items or post emotional stories to ask for money. In other cases, accounts are hacked and used to message friends and family of the victim, pretending to be in urgent need of help.

To avoid becoming a victim, officials recommend the following:

• Don’t send money or share financial details with anyone you haven’t met in person.

• Be cautious of urgent or emotional appeals, especially involving gift cards or wire transfers.

• Use official websites or phone numbers to verify claims from companies or agencies.

• Never click links or download attachments from unknown messages or emails.

• On Facebook Marketplace, verify identities and avoid transactions that require shipping or pre-payment. Residents who suspect a scam can report it to the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office or file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www. reportfraud.ftc.gov. Authorities encourage the public to share warnings with neighbors, especially those who may be more vulnerable to these tactics.

Residents across Modoc County are being warned to stay alert as reports of new and evolving scams continue to rise, both online and by phone.

Bly Mountain Fire Triggers Evacuations, Sends Smoke into Modoc County

A wildfire burning on Bly Mountain in Klamath County, Oregon, has prompted multiple evacuation orders and is sending smoke into parts of Modoc County. Cell phone service in the area has been reported down due to the fire’s impact on infrastructure.

The fire is estimated at more than 200 acres and is actively spreading in a northnortheast direction. The South Central Oregon Fire Management

Partnership (SCOFMP) Type 3 team is expected to take command of the incident at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Evacuation orders were issued under the Ready, Set, Go system. As of Tuesday, there were evacuation orders in place for various locations that can be found on the Watchdog App.

In late November 2024, Modoc Steel was notified that Advance Auto Parts would discontinue CarQuest’s support for independent dealers by the end of the year. Cavasso and his team had just 30 days to find a new supplier and replace critical systems during the peak of the holiday season.

“When 200 independents were all looking for new suppliers at once, it actually made things easier,” Cavasso said. “It wasn’t too terrible to find another one—we just had to move fast.” Despite the short deadline, Modoc Steel successfully partnered with Factory Motor Parts, which operates a regional distribution center in Sacramento.

A public records dispute involving the Alturas animal shelter is adding to growing concerns about how the city operates the facility, which has already drawn criticism over animal care policies and a previous dog bite incident.

Matthew DiGrazia, a resident who was previously involved in a complaint over the city’s response to a dog bite, has submitted a California Public Records Act request seeking documentation related to the shelter’s operations. The request asked for building permits, kennel permits and a certificate of occupancy.

In a June 26 email, a city employee responded that

lack of documentation a violation of state law and warning the city could face legal action if it fails to comply.

The latest dispute follows earlier reporting by the Modoc Record on DiGrazia’s initial complaint, in which he was charged $170 for what was later determined to be an improperly issued quarantine order. The California Department of Public Health confirmed the order did not meet state requirements.

In the days following his records request, the situation gained

could be expected with limited resources. City Councilmember Brian Cox publicly supported calls for transparency and said he had also been denied access to certain records as an elected official.

City officials have not issued a formal statement. The matter is expected to be raised at the next Alturas City Council meeting.
