Investigation Clears Susanville Police Officers in Fatal Derek Sikong Shooting
Alturas Elementary Students Boost Fire Safety Skills with CAL FIRE
The Lassen County District Attorney’s Office has cleared two Susanville police officers of criminal liability in the May 6 shooting death of a man who authorities say threatened a child with a machete and later wounded an officer. Following an extensive review by the Lassen County Law Enforcement Interagency Investigation Team, District Attorney Melyssah Rios concluded that Officers David Lee and KC Capron acted justifiably under state law during the chaotic encounter at a Richmond Road townhouse.
The CAL FIRE Lassen Modoc Unit, in collaboration with the Modoc Fire Safe Council and Alturas Elementary School, recently led a vital Fire Prevention Week program for local students. Focusing on this year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” students received handson training inside the
The incident began early that Wednesday morning when Lee and Capron responded to reports of a welfare concern involving children at the home of Ngirasiau “Derek” Sikong. Witnesses at the Diamond Mountain Casino informed officers that Sikong was acting erratically, was believed to be under the influence of methamphetamine, and was armed with a machete. The

situation escalated rapidly when a witness received a phone call from an angry Sikong, prompting her to tell officers they needed to intervene immediately to protect the children.
Upon arriving at the duplex at 304 Richmond Road, Lee attempted to speak with Sikong, who was visible in a second-story window.

According to the investigation, Sikong grabbed a 2-year-old boy and briefly held him out of the open window before pulling him back inside. He then retrieved a machete and began striking the walls and window sill. The situation turned critical when Sikong appeared to place the child on the floor and made a

Veterans Day guide to honor local service members
Acres
in Alturas for History Park Project
Veterans Day is a time for reflection, gratitude and community. This November, Modoc Record is preparing a special guide dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the nation’s armed forces.
The Nevada-CaliforniaOregon Railway has completed the purchase of approximately 34 acres of historic railroad property in Alturas for the future development of a public railway history park.
The guide will feature profiles of local veterans, community events, support resources and ways for residents to get involved. It will be printed and distributed throughout Modoc and Lassen counties.
Stories will highlight resilience, sacrifice and

leadership, while event listings will provide information on parades, ceremonies and other gatherings. Readers will also find details on organizations offering assistance with health care, education and employment, as well as volunteer opportunities and donation drives.
Submissions can be emailed
Veterans Day is not only about honoring the past — it’s about recognizing the ongoing contributions of veterans in our neighborhoods, workplaces and families.
Community members are invited to help shape the guide. If you or someone you know has served, Modoc Media encourages you to submit a photo, name and years of service.
The guide aims to provide both inspiration and practical resources, ensuring local stories of courage and commitment are remembered and celebrated.
The future park is envisioned as a place for
“This is an important milestone for our organization and for the community,” said Shane Starr, president of the Nevada-CaliforniaOregon Railway. “Securing this property allows us to preserve a meaningful part of Alturas’ railroad history and begin turning it into a lasting public asset.”

shoulder, inflicting a 10-inch laceration that later required eight staples. Lee fired three additional rounds as he fell backward out of the house. Although wounded, Sikong remained aggressive and ignored commands to drop the weapon. Capron then deployed a less-lethal bean bag round from a shotgun, finally enabling officers to subdue him. While the officers immediately began life-saving measures, Sikong died from gunshot wounds to his torso and arm. The three children in the home, ages 8, 4, and 2, were found unharmed upstairs.
In the legal analysis, the
District Attorney found that both instances of deadly force met the standards of California Penal Code section 835a. The review determined that Lee’s initial shots were a reasonable response to an imminent threat of death or serious injury to the toddler, noting that no viable lesslethal alternative existed at that distance. Similarly, the shots fired during the struggle inside the home were deemed justified self-defense after Sikong physically attacked the officer with a deadly weapon. The findings also praised the officers for their professional conduct following the shooting, noting that Lee prioritized medical aid for Sikong despite his
own serious injury, and Capron worked to ensure the physical and emotional wellbeing of the rescued children.
The District Attorney’s Office characterized the death as tragic but concluded the officers’ actions were not unlawful, confirming that no criminal charges will be filed against Lee or Capron. The office expressed condolences to the Sikong family and committed to providing ongoing support for the children involved through the local Child Advocacy Center. This public report aims to provide transparency regarding the events and the subsequent investigation that led to the closure of the case.

LAND AGENTS from Portland are hoodwinking innocent families in those areas with tales of free land in Lake County. They charge $100 to locate them a quarter section of this barren land that even coyotes don’t want. A thousand acres of land between Lakeview and Plush would be too high at 30 cents an acre… Dr. Gibson demonstrated that trips on mountain roads are indeed practical in the automobile. He drove to Cedarville with his family in a little more than an hour and then toured all the way to Eagleville and back to Alturas, all between the hours of 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., which is remarkable.

Let me tell you a true story from my childhood on the Monterey Peninsula. At age 10 just after my family moved back to Monterey from Lake Tahoe where we lived for two years while my dad helped develop Squaw Valley for the 1960 Winter Olympics, a family from New York moved in down the street from us. They moved to California because they thought the gold rush was still going on. Yep, I kid you not, that’s how ignorant they were of California history.

Nicholson & LeGassick: Cedarville 2026
Studio 540, Modoc County’s premier contemporary art gallery, is proud to present the work of two accomplished professional artists from our region: Jean LeGassick and Jeff Nicholson. The show runs May 30 through June 30, with a public opening on June 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. Gallery hours are Friday through Monday, 1 to 4 p.m., or whenever the doors are open. Visits are also available by appointment: text Nick at 415-350-0994.
LeGassick and Nicholson moved to Surprise Valley in 2016 and have since created many paintings inspired by the valley and its surrounding landscape. While their recent work reflects this place, each has spent more than 40 years building a respected artistic career and reputation in Nevada and beyond.
Jean LeGassick prefers painting outdoors on location and has focused much of her career on the Sierra Nevada Range. She has also explored the Great Basin extensively and has painted in every western state. Her paintings are often small, shaped by the time constraints of working in the field, though
she frequently develops larger studio compositions from her on-site studies.
Jean earned a fine arts degree from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1979. She is a signature member of the Plein Air Painters of America and the California Art Club.
She was also invited to participate in the PBS series “Plein Air: Painting the American Landscape,” which aired on public television.
Her work is included in Reno collections such as the Nevada Museum of Art, City Hall, and Renown Medical
Center. She is represented by Stremmel Gallery in Reno, American Legacy Fine Arts in Pasadena, and Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara.
Jeff Nicholson has been exploring and painting Nevada and the Great Basin for nearly 50 years and is recognized as one of Nevada’s most respected landscape painters. His work is held in the collections of the Nevada Museum of Art, the Lilley Museum at the University of Nevada, the Governor’s Mansion, and the Nevada State Museum in Carson
City. One of his paintings was also selected to represent Nevada in the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
Jeff’s career has included work as an assistant curator at the Nevada Museum of Art, and he was co-owner of Great Basin Gallery in Carson City for many years, where he represented other prominent Nevada
artists. The paintings in this exhibition will not be for sale. Instead, Jeff is bringing together a retrospective drawn from his personal and family collections, with some works borrowed from close friends, spanning more than 40 years. This exhibition offers Modoc residents a rare opportunity to experience an overview of a dedicated artist’s remarkable career.

State Compliance Law Forces Cancellation of 2026 Alturas Rotary Duck Race
Just one year after a sold-out crowd watched thousands of plastic ducks race down the Pit River, the annual Great Rotary Duck Race has been officially canceled for 2026, organizers announced.
The joint decision by the Rotary Clubs of Alturas and Alturas Sunrise sidelines a beloved Modoc County tradition that typically follows the Fandango Days parade. Officials cited compliance requirements related to state law as the sole reason for the cancellation.
The announcement marks a sharp turn from last year’s highly successful event, which saw all 2,500 ducks sell out ahead of time and awarded a $10,000 grand prize to local winner Guy Axelrod, alongside corporate prizes sponsored by local businesses like Ormat, Desert Rose Casino, and Alturas Tire.
In a statement released by the clubs, officials expressed deep gratitude to the local community and business network that have sustained the fundraiser over the years.
“The Rotary Clubs of Alturas and Alturas Sunrise sincerely thank
the many businesses that donated prizes, provided coupon offers, and supported this event over the years,” the statement read. “We are especially grateful to the citizens of Modoc County for their continued enthusiasm and participation.”
Proceeds from the duck race traditionally fund critical Rotary Club community projects and local youth programs. While specific details regarding the exact state legal compliance issues were not disclosed, organizers emphasized that the hiatus is only temporary and they are already planning a comeback.
“We look forward to bringing the event back next year and continuing the strong community support that has made the Great Rotary Duck Race such a special tradition,” the clubs stated.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2026 at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The tax collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2026. The right to an installment plan terminates at 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2026, and after that date, the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale at public auction.
The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at 5:00 p.m. on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the tax collector.
All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Macey VonRader, Modoc County Tax Collector, 204 South Court Street, Alturas, California 96101. Phone number is (530) 233-6223.
The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June, 2026 is shown opposite the parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.
PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION
The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee. com, using the file number assigned to this case 202515755-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANTS: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil

Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www. nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-15755-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or have consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
