The Modoc County

Happy Mothers Day

By: Shaelene Tims

In Modoc County, quiet rural roads lead to a serious challenge: a rapidly aging population.

With nearly one in three residents now over the age of 60, this remote corner of northeastern California is facing an uncertain future. Birth rates are low, school enrollments are dropping, and the demand for senior services keeps rising.

Many younger adults have moved away for education, jobs, or broader opportunities, leaving a shrinking workforce. Hospitals and clinics feel the strain, while local schools operate with fewer students each year. The aging trend also impacts the local economy, as retirees tend to spend less and contribute differently than working-age residents. In a county with just over 8,000 people, every shift matters. Longtime residents worry about the future of civic and volunteer leadership— often driven by older residents. The question becomes not just who will care for the aging, but who will lead, work, and invest in the years ahead. The answer may be closer than it seems.

Through local efforts like Advancing Modoc, young people are choosing to come home—not out of obligation, but out of love for their community and a desire to make a difference.

Modoc’s leaders see these young returnees as key to building the future. They can fill critical roles in healthcare, education, and local business, offering a generational bridge between the community’s history and what comes next. The decision to return isn’t always easy— opportunities are fewer, and amenities are fewer— but for some, the tradeoff is worth it. They’re choosing meaning over mobility, and their choice could reshape Modoc’s path forward.

Mya Sharp didn’t feel pressured to leave Modoc County after high school. Instead, she felt a pull to stay. “I came back home because I absolutely love it here,” she said. “Affordability didn’t really make it or break it… but my family, friends and

Advancing Modoc is a homegrown program working to address the county’s biggest longterm challenge: keeping rural communities alive and thriving. It connects youth to job opportunities, builds career pathways in high-demand fields and encourages local leadership. Through initiatives like the Child Savings Account program for kindergarteners, the Education Explorer summer enrichment program for aspiring educators, and the Come Home Campaign that invites former residents back to fill critical roles in healthcare, education and public service, Advancing Modoc is making tangible investments in Modoc’s future. For those with entrepreneurial goals, the Start. Grow. Thrive. initiative offers tailored support and business resources to help rural startups launch and expand. The goal is clear—equip Modoc’s next generation with the tools and support they need to stay, grow and lead.

the familiarity of the community did.” Now studying elementary education and working at the local elementary school, Mya says the decision brought her a deep sense of purpose. “Living and working here has been awesome—it’s not always exciting, but there’s a strong sense of stability and balance.”

Scott Lewis, another young local, echoed that sentiment. After spending time away, he returned to Alturas for the calm and connection. “It offers the perfect blend of peace and outdoor adventure,” he said. “The rural setting, with its abundant fishing and hunting opportunities, is exactly what I’ve been looking for.” For Scott, being near family and doing what he loves felt more valuable than chasing something elsewhere.

Stories like Mya’s and Scott’s don’t always make national news. But here, they matter. Advancing Modoc is helping make those stories possible—not by telling young people what to do, but by showing them they have options and a place in the future of this community.

The road ahead for Modoc won’t be easy. With limited resources and an aging population, the challenges are real. But there is a path forward; investing in the local youth. Their choice to stay, serve, and invest in their home offers a powerful counter to the trend of rural decline. It’s not just about who’s leaving anymore; it’s increasingly about who returns.

Mother’s Day in Modoc: Honoring Local Moms with Brunches and Community Spirit

Mother’s Day has been part of American tradition since 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday. The day was originally championed by Anna Jarvis to honor the quiet strength and tireless care of mothers everywhere. Over a century later, Modoc County is celebrating in true local fashion—with good food, small-town charm, and heartfelt appreciation.

This Sunday, two beloved local venues are offering brunches to celebrate moms in the community. The VFW in Cedarville is hosting a special Mother’s Day brunch, bringing families together for a morning of good food and conversation in a warm, welcoming setting from 9- pm.. It’s a great chance to honor mothers, grandmothers,

and all the women who hold families together.

In Alturas, The California Pines Lodge is also serving up a Mother’s Day special featuring classic favorites and beautiful views—an ideal setting for families looking to relax and enjoy time together. Reservations are encouraged, as this event tends to draw a crowd.

In Alturas, Wagon Wheel will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering a hearty Mother’s Day special of prime rib and eggs in the morning, followed by a prime rib sandwich later in the day. It’s a great stop for early risers or brunch-goers looking for something filling and familiar.

Also in Alturas, Antonio’s Cucina Italiana is running Mother’s Day specials all weekend long, making

easy to plan a dinner out with loved ones in a warm, local setting. However you choose

gather, and show the

to celebrate, Modoc’s Mother’s Day events are a chance to pause,

women in our lives just how much they matter. From Cedarville to Cal Pines to Alturas, the

special.

Nicholas Karrasch: Prints and Photographs By Lawrence Rinde

Nicholas Karrasch is well-known in Surprise Valley and vicinity for his paintings inspired by the geography and spirit of the local landscape. Karrasch’s mural-size chalk drawing of the Warner Mountains which hangs in Cedarville’s Corner Store is a landmark of Modoc County art. His prints and photographic works are less known, so the upcoming dual exhibitions at Studio 540 in Cedarville provide a marvelous opportunity to see and appreciate the breadth of the artist’s work. The exhibition runs from May 3 to

June 22. Gallery hours Fri-Mon 1-4 pm or upon request. Text Nick 415350-0994 In the main gallery, Karrasch will present a series of never-before shown linocut prints titled “California Moon.” Many of these works have been supplemented with touches of chalk, oil pastel, marker, and gouache. They offer a wide range of impressions of the California landscape from coastal views to mountains and deserts. Throughout the series Karrasch returns to the motif of a moon sometimes crescent, but usually full, as it hovers

majestically over the horizon.

Karrasch fills every aspect of these images with a sense of vitality as if some kind of internal—perhaps even spiritual--dynamism was animating all their diverse elements. In this regard his prints recall the work of the German Expressionist Lyonel Feininger. In a Modern twist, however, Karrasch based the scale and the proportions of most of these prints on the 4 x 5-inch photograph and sees in their high contrast reverse tonality, an equivalence to the old photographic negative.

Looking Back

113 Years Ago – 1912

MR. PARKER of the Hotel Canby said there is but one registered woman voter within his precinct, but she has refused to vote in the election for fear her name might get in the paper.

108 Years Ago – 1917

ATHE FIRST Alturas boys to enlist are now on their way to San Francisco and include Joe Warner, Lawrence James, Earl Poindexter and Clarence Ford. Several hundred citizens turned out to send them off while John Thomas, GAR veteran, held the American flag and the band played patriotic airs. There were few dry eyes when the train left.

SURPRISE VALLEY High School has 22 graduates, and Walter Hussa was Valedictorian at the ceremonies Wednesday. Others in the program were Melvin Bailey, who read the class history; Ethel Page, who recited the class poem; Will Gooch, who read the will, and Frankie Gooch, who prophesied the future of the classmates.

58 Years Ago – 1967

In the small “Vault” gallery, Karrasch will show a photographic series entitled, “Berkeley Evening Walk” completed in the summer of 1987. Like his prints, Karrasch’s photographs capture the vibrancy of nature, although here it is nature as embodied in the suburban garden. Berkeley is a horticultural paradise, and one feels, in these images, the artist’s love for the abundance and beauty of the town’s modest yet gratifying gardens. Stylistically, his photographs share the saturated colors of Elliott Porter’s renowned landscapes and thecompositional uncanniness of William Eggleston’s photographic studies of the neighborhoods throughout the American South. In Karrasch’s images there is an exquisite balance of the everyday and the magical.

VFW Post 3327 Supports Modoc Little League with Day of Service

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3327 and Auxiliary proudly conducted a Day of Service at the Modoc Little League concession stand in Alturas, California. Their dedicated volunteers played a vital role in keeping the concession stand open throughout a busy day of games, serving food and snacks

to players, families, and community members. Thanks to the generosity and service of the VFW volunteers, the Little League was able to continue its fundraising efforts uninterrupted. The proceeds from the concession stand help support essential league expenses, including equipment, uniforms, and umpire fees.

Without this support, the stand would have had to close early, resulting in a significant loss of funds that directly benefit the young athletes. VFW Post 3327’s contribution reflects their ongoing commitment to community involvement and youth programs in Modoc County.

Swenson

Barry Swenson, beloved husband & father, friend, real estate developer, general contractor, outdoorsman, farmer, cattleman, and guy in the white hat, passed away on April 19, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, grit, and joy in life’s simple moments.

Born with a heart for adventure in the Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose, Barry found his truest self in the outdoors, where he hunted, hiked, fished, and tilled the land with a passion unmatched. He graduated from James Lick High School in 1957 and went on to attend San Jose State University, including a semester abroad at Canberra University in Australia. The California hills and ranches were his sanctuary, and he shared that love with anyone willing to pull on their boots.

Barry was a pioneer who could endure the sting of an arrow in the back, yank it out, and keep riding without losing speed. He had a loyal, witty, and diverse posse always riding right behind him. Tough sometimes. He gave opportunity to anyone bold enough to take it. He gave everyone around him the chance to grow, offering support without judgment and cheering the loudest for those who dared to try again. He built a company alongside these people that has endured for over 45 years. His faith in others transformed lives, though he would always say they transformed him.

cattle. He most loved working with the crew on those ranches and would often spend weeks during harvest driving swathers and bailers and attending roundups. Barry would ride a bit, but he felt his most important job was to make sure the beer was cold and plentiful for the cowboys.

Barry was a father who anchored his family with an unwavering presence. He was home every night to sit at dinner and share stories about everyone’s daily happenings, where laughter and stories flowed as freely as the meal, always home-cooked by Molly. He believed in celebrating life’s small victories—each one met with his signature outstretched hands and an exuberant “YAHOO” that could light up a room. His laughter was plentiful and contagious. Yet, Barry’s tender side shone through in quiet moments, as he was often moved to tears by the raw emotion of cowboy poetry or the heartfelt strains of a western song, revealing a soul deeply connected to life’s joys and sorrows.

Kathy Bushey passed away peacefully on the morning of April 30, 2025, at the age of 92. She had been residing at Crystal Terrace of Klamath Falls, OR since June 2024.

Kathy began her life on January 14, 1933, as Kathleen Marie Moeschler in Chaska, MN.

She was the youngest of seven children born to Carroll and Pearl Moeschler-Kuch.

In 1935, her mother and all the siblings traveled by train to Los Angeles from the cold climate of Minnesota to meet up with their father so the family could start a renewed life in sunny California where her Grandmother Dora Raitz lived. Later, Kathy would move further north to reside in Canby.

On May 10, 1953, Kathy and Robert “Bob” Bushey were married in Cedarville, CA after his two years of service in the Army. The couple began their life together and raised three sons, Robert “Bob” Jr, Mike and Jeff on the family ranch in Canby.

Pinochle and Bunco with her friends.

For 32 years, Kathy worked for the Modoc Joint Unified School District primarily as the Librarian at the Alturas Elementary School as well as an aide and janitor in Canby. Her volunteer work includes many years spent helping the Canby Mothers Club, the Modoc Senior Citizen Center, the Modoc Medical Center Gift Shop and the Alturas Chamber of Commerce.

Preceding Kathy in 2011 was her husband Bob of 58 years, her mother Pearl, father Carroll, stepfather Al Kuch and her six siblings Chuck, Loren, Nick, Milton, Dorothy, and Ruth along with many nieces and nephews around the country.

Kathy leaves behind her three sons and spouses: Bobby and Carrie (Canby), Mike (Canby) and former daughter-in-law Tricia (Brookshire, TX), and Jeff and Bindi (Alturas).

Glen Allen Bagwell passed away April 25, 2025. He was 76 years old.

Glen was born in Madera, California on January 12, 1049, to Ruth and Clovis Bagwell. He had two brothers, Tim and Terry and a sister, Cindy. The family moved from Madera to Alturas in 1959, where Glen graduated from Modoc High School in 1967.

Glen worked with his father in construction for many years. He later started his own business, Bagwell Construction.

Glen had two children, son John and daughter Brenda: two stepchildren, Shannon and Amy. He was preceded in death by

his parents, brother Tim, daughter Brenda and sister-in-law Nancy. Glen is survived by his wife of 37 years Nancy; his brother Terry; Sister Cindy; son John (Kelly); stepson Shannon (Brenda); stepdaughter Amy (Kevin). Grandchildren Luke, Morgan, Spencer, Jordan, Kyle, Lauren; and great-granddaughter Lily. Nephews Terry Jr., Troy, Todd, Mike and Travis; nieces Debbie and Megan. Glen also leaves behind his friends, all the men of his past construction crews, and longtime friends, Richard and Stella. At his request there will be no services.

Alongside his devoted wife, Molly, Barry built a remarkable life in San Jose, continuing the legacy of his parents and grandparents. In his beloved city, they raised a family, built a thriving business, and gave back to a community that had given them so much. As a visionary real estate developer and general contractor, Barry shaped Downtown San Jose’s landscape in a way that respected the past and looked toward the future. He believed in redeveloping architecturally significant buildings, not tearing them down; he recycled buildings long before anyone recycled bottles and cans. Together with Molly, he also flourished as a farmer and rancher. He acquired farms and ranches throughout California and New Zealand and spent countless hours studying soil, water, crops, and

Barry is survived by his loving wife, Molly; devoted children Tamara Current (Jeff), Becky Menne (Martin), and Case Swenson (Lisa), and his grandchildren: Hunter Current (Sarah), Hannah Gamelin (Jared), Kate Massura (Chad), Mallory Menne, Bridget Menne, Sloane Swenson and Roark Swenson. And his great-grandchildren, Collins Current, Shepard Current, Delta Current, Rhodes Gamelin, and Greta Gamelin. Heartfelt thanks to his caregivers, Yesse Carballo, Jose Salazar, and Yeshi Abdo, for their kind hearts and loving hands for many years. His memory will live on in every trail hiked, every field tended, every building raised, every tear shed to a soulful song, and every small victory celebrated with outstretched arms, thumbs up, and a big “YAHOO.”

In her spare time, Kathy enjoyed cooking and baking new recipes and was known to have made a wedding cake or two! She spent many hours in her sewing/craft room making quilts, dresses for the granddaughters in their early years, and even sewed her own clothes. Kathy liked trying all types of crafts and her yard was always filled with flowers. Other hobbies included reading, puzzles and playing

She will be greatly missed by her eight grandchildren and spouses: Chris and Rocci (Canby), Andrew (Alturas), Kari and James (Brookshire, TX), Katie and Joe (Lillington, NC), Lauren and Mark (Central Point, OR), Tyler (Central Point, OR), Chet Mauer (Alturas) and Clay Mauer (Alturas). As well as nine Great-Grandchildren: Avery, Madelyn, Macie, Trenton, Hadley, Otto, Hans, Sydney and Aiden.

A memorial gathering will be held later this year. Clifford “Barry”

A resident of Alturas for over 30 years passed away April 12 after a long illness. He was 81 years old. He will be laid to rest in the Alturas cemetery at a private service.

A celebration of life will be held at La Rinconada Country Club on May 13 at 3:00 pm. Please carpool as parking is limited. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to The Children’s Discovery Museum, 180 Woz Way, San Jose, CA 95110, or The Stroke Awareness Foundation, 2516 Samaritan Drive, Suite E, San Jose, CA 95124

Off-Course Visitor Charms Local Artist’s Yard

By: Shaelene Tims

It was an ordinary spring morning in California’s northeastern high desert when Surprise Valley plein-air

painter Jean LeGassick noticed an extraordinary visitor outside her studio window: a rose-breasted grosbeak — an immature male, far from his usual haunts.

The species, native to eastern and central North America, rarely strays this far west. “Every so often,” say ornithologists, “these birds get caught in strong winds during migration and end up hundreds or even thousands of miles from their usual paths.”

For LeGassick, who has spent a lifetime chasing wild beauty with canvas and brush, this rare sighting was a fitting gift

from nature.

The bird returned the next day, feasting from her backyard feeders on black oil sunflower seeds, safflower, and thistle. Though grosbeaks are known for their massive, triangular beaks, it turns out they are surprisingly deft with small seeds.

“The tip of their bill narrows just enough,” notes the LeGassick, “to extract even tiny thistle seeds from narrow feeder slots.”

This particular visitor — a young male not yet in full adult plumage — bore muted colors compared to the mature male’s dramatic rosered chest. Still, he stood out in LeGassick’s yard, a subtle but thrilling splash of color among the local magpies, ravens, and springtime robins.

LeGassick is no stranger to beautiful sights. Her paintings often emerge from long hikes where the raw, wild pulse of nature speaks through color and light. But spotting this wayward grosbeak at home was a rare stroke of serendipity. “When I hike through a landscape,” she says in her artist statement, “I know that place much more intimately.” Even when nature shows up unannounced, it still becomes part of the story — and perhaps soon, a painting. He may still be around the area. He hasn’t been seen in her yard in a few days, so keep your eyes peeled and maybe he might grace your feeder!

Community Shows Heart at Surprise Valley Blood Drive

On Tuesday, local residents gathered at Surprise Valley High School to support a vital community blood drive. Though modest in size, the event underscored the importance and ongoing need for blood donations.

Organized by Marlin Schaefer, the drive maintained steady participation throughout the day, with volunteers warmly assisting donors through the quick and painless donation process.

Rosemary Parks, a Surprise Valley resident and the last donor of the day, shared her experience. “I didn’t have an appointment, so I had to wait until appointments were done,” Parks explained.

Located at

“If Cedarville is about anything, it’s about being life-sustaining. It was a good turnout according to Marlin. True to form, Cedarville took part in a life-saving event.”

Parks also shared her personal motivation for donating. “I have a special blood type that is used for gravely ill infants.

The years that I gave in Arizona, I proudly wore the label ‘Baby Brigade.’

The process really begins after the blood drive ends for the day. The blood then goes to the lab to make sure it is diseasefree. Then, the time comes to look at the uniqueness of the blood. Armed with that information, it will be determined the best use of the donated blood

45 Co. Rd. 257, Alturas

Go 1 mile past the Auction Yard, Turn Right on Co. Rd. 257

and the best outcome for the recipient. I strive to purpose the goals in my life based on evidence. The evidence is donating blood saves lives.”

Every pint collected during the drive will directly aid local hospitals and emergency centers, reinforcing the essential nature of these events in supporting community health.

Residents who missed this opportunity are encouraged to join future blood drives, as ongoing participation is vital.

For details on upcoming events and ways to contribute, check the Vitalant website and keep an eye on the Surprise Valley Bulletin Board on social media.

Honoring Modoc County’s Unsung Heroes: National Correctional Officers Week

May 5–11, 2025 marks

National Correctional Officers Week, a time set aside to recognize the hard work, professionalism, and dedication of the men and women who serve behind the walls of our nation’s correctional facilities— including those right here in Modoc County.

Established in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, this observance shines a light on the vital role correctional officers play in maintaining public safety and supporting the justice

system. These individuals are not only responsible for the custody and control of inmates, but also for ensuring rehabilitation efforts and managing challenging, high-stress situations with skill and integrity.

At the Modoc County Jail, overseen by the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office, local correctional staff face the unique challenges of working in a rural, close-knit community where resources are often stretched but dedication

runs deep. Officers here work around the clock, often behind the scenes, to maintain order and security while treating inmates with fairness and dignity.

Sheriff Tex Dowdy and his team recognize the commitment these officers bring to their roles each day. Throughout this week, the Sheriff’s Office is taking time to show appreciation for their correctional staff through internal acknowledgments and community outreach.

In a time when public service is more demanding than ever, National Correctional Officers Week is a reminder of the quiet strength and essential service correctional officers provide. As members of our community, they help ensure that justice is not just administered—but upheld with humanity and resolve.

Modoc County salutes its correctional officers this week and every week.
