Honoring the brave. Remembering the fallen.
This Memorial Day, we pause to pay tribute to those who gave everything for our freedom.
More Than Thanks, Turning Remembrance into Action
By Jody Boulay
Memorial Day is a solemn occasion to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. We attend parades, place flags at gravesites, and take quiet moments of reflection. But beyond the ceremonies and speeches lies another, often invisible war, one that too many of our veterans and active-duty service members are still fighting. Countless veterans struggle with substance use disorders, suicidal ideation, and an increasing risk of drug overdose.
It’s a battle that doesn’t make headlines and is waged silently behind closed doors, far from the front lines. Yet, for countless military personnel, the struggle with addiction is as real and as relentless as any combat mission. Service members often endure intense physical and psychological stress.
Exposure to combat, traumatic injuries, and
the pressure to reintegrate into civilian life all contribute to an increased risk of developing a substance use disorder. The connection between military service and addiction is not often discussed, but it should be.
According to census data, in 2022, 1,292,737 veterans lived in California. While it is challenging to know how many veterans in local communities struggle with addiction and mental health issues, there are some national and state trends among veterans and the general population that offer some insight into the issues. Veteran suicide deaths in California, for example, shows 559 deaths in 2021 among veterans in the state ages 18 and older. Suicide deaths among veterans made up 14% of all suicides in 2021. Among both veterans and non-veterans, suicides made up 1% of total deaths in 2021, according to the California Department of
Public Health.
Nationally, the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that 6.3% of veterans had a substance use disorder in the past year. Alcohol use, for example, was common among 56% of veterans, while 22% engaged in binge drinking, and 5.2% experienced an alcohol use disorder.
Alcohol abuse, in general, unfortunately, is a common precursor for addiction and suicidal ideation and increases the risk of drug overdose. According to the California Health Care Foundation, the death rate from fentanyl increased 10fold from 2015 to 2019. Approximately 2.9 million Californians aged 12 and older had a substance use disorder in the past year. Six percent reported symptoms that met the criteria for abuse of or dependence on alcohol, and about 4% reported meeting the criteria for abuse of or dependence on illicit drugs. We need to normalize
conversations around mental health and addiction within military culture. We should also support communitybased organizations and nonprofits doing critical work in this space. Many of these groups offer holistic, veteran-centered services that go beyond what traditional institutions can provide, from nontraditional therapy and outdoor rehabilitation programs to job training and sober housing.
We must also expand access to comprehensive, trauma-informed care, particularly in rural areas where resources are scarce. Fortunately, there are some resources to help, such as the Veterans Crisis Line; dial 988, then press 1, or text 838255 anywhere in the state. Veterans can also contact CalVet at 1-800-9525626 or the VA Benefits Hotline at 1-800-8271000. The Department of Health Care Services provides an automated non-emergency substance use disorder treatment
referral line at 1-800-8792772 statewide.
This Memorial Day, while we remember the fallen, let’s also remember those still fighting against the weight of their memories, their pain, and the stigma that keeps them from seeking help. Let’s make it clear that their service matters. Their struggles matter.
And they are not alone. Jody Boulay is a mother of two with a passion for helping others. She currently works as a Community Outreach Coordinator for DRS to help spread awareness of the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Ongoing Predator Debate Sees New Technology
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has launched a new wolf-tracking tool aimed at helping livestock producers respond to growing wolf activity. But with compensation funds stretched thin and predator policies still in debate, many in rural California say the state’s approach still leaves producers exposed.
The Wolf Location Automated Mapping System shows the general location of GPS-collared wolves using a grid of hexagon-shaped cells. Each cell marks where a collar last reported, with updates usually coming once a day. If a collar goes silent, the map continues to show its last known location. It’s not live tracking, and it only includes wolves wearing functioning collars. The tool is meant to help ranchers make informed decisions about where to graze their animals. But not all wolves are collared, and even in packs with collars, not every wolf’s movements are represented. That means actual wolf presence can extend well beyond what the map shows. During denning season, usually from April to August, the map goes dark near sensitive sites to reduce disturbance. CDFW says it may change or shut down the map entirely if it results in wolf harassment or trespassing. Alongside the map, the state has reopened its Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program. As of October 28, 2024,
producers who have suffered a confirmed or probable wolf kill on or after July 1 can apply for direct loss payments. The current round includes $600,000 in state funding, but is limited to Prong 1—livestock losses only. There is no current funding available for nonlethal deterrents or payfor-presence incentives.
The original pilot program, launched with a $3 million appropriation from the legislature in 2021, was designed to cover all three prongs: direct loss, deterrents, and presence. CDFW opened applications for Prong 1 in February 2022 and Prong 2 in May 2022. The full three-prong program launched in June 2023 and ran until the funds were exhausted in
March 2024. A total of 109 grants were awarded to producers in known wolf activity areas including Siskiyou, Lassen, Plumas and Tulare counties. Participation was voluntary, and applications were reviewed through a multistep process to confirm eligibility. According to the department, all $3 million was distributed. While the department says it is working to reduce conflict, producers continue to raise concerns that state policies ignore the full impact of wolf presence. Those tensions were clear during the May Fish and Game Commission meeting, where over 500 people showed up or called in to speak on a proposed reclassification of coyotes.
The issue wasn’t about wolves, but the message from rural Californians was the same: predator policies are being made without enough input from the people who deal with the consequences.
Sheriffs from District 1 drove as long as six hours to attend and urged the commission to take local concerns seriously. Their message mirrored what ranchers have said for years—that whether it’s wolves or coyotes, the burden of coexistence is falling hardest on rural families.
The state continues to call for coexistence and encourages the use of non-lethal tools, even as it limits funding for them.
Ranchers say they’re being asked to shoulder the cost of a policy they didn’t
Alturas Man Faces 34 Charges Related to Sexual Abuse of Minors
A 37-year-old Alturas man is facing more than 30 felony charges after being arrested last week on suspicion of repeatedly sexually abusing minors, according to the Alturas Police Department.
Bryant Dennis Reeves was taken into custody May 15 following an investigation by the Alturas Police Department in coordination with the Modoc County District Attorney’s Office and the Modoc County Department of Social Services. The department said it began investigating after receiving a report on the evening of May 14.
Reeves was booked into the Modoc County Jail and is being held without bail.
He was arraigned May 20 in Modoc County Superior Court before Judge Randall Harr on 34
counts:
• 288.7(a) PC sexual intercourse or sodomy with a child 10 years old or younger
• 288.7(b) PC (two counts) oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child 10 years or younger
• 288.5(a) PC (two counts) continuous sexual abuse
• 261(a)(2) PC (two counts) forcible rape –
child victim
• 289(a)(1) PC (two counts) sexual penetration by a foreign object – victim under 14
• 287(c)(2)(B) PC (two counts) oral copulation of a person under 14 years by force
• 286(c)(2)(C) PC sodomy by use of force –victim 14 or older
• 288(b)(1) PC forcible lewd act upon a child
• 289(i) PC (two counts) sexual penetration with a foreign object
• 288(a) PC (three counts) lewd act upon a child
• 287(c)(1) (two counts) oral copulation of a person
under 14 years and 10 years younger
• 288.2(a)(1) (two counts) distributing or showing a child or youth pornography
• 287(b)(1) PC (two counts) oral copulation of a person under 18 years and 10 years younger
• 289(h) PC (two counts) sexual penetration by foreign object
• 289(i) PC (two counts) sexual penetration by foreign object – victim under 16
286(b)(1) PC sodomy of a person under 18
• 286(b)(2) PC sodomy of a person under 16
• 287(b)(2) PC oral
copulation of a person under 16 years and 10 years younger
• 288(c)(1) PC (three counts) lewd act upon a child
Prosecutors also filed several sentencing enhancements, alleging that the crimes involved great bodily harm, cruelty and violence, and that Reeves abused a position of trust. The victims, identified only as child victim 1 and child victim 2, were described as particularly vulnerable.
The court also found that Reeves posed a serious danger to society. Reeves’ defense attorney
ask for and that doesn’t change the daily realities of raising livestock in wolf country.
The tracking map and the new round of compensation may help, but they also highlight the core problem: the tools are partial, the support is limited, and the state’s expectations remain high. For many, this isn’t a solution—it’s a stopgap.
requested that he be released, but the motion was opposed by Modoc County District Attorney Nina Salerno. Judge Harr sided with prosecutors and denied bail. Authorities say additional charges may be filed pending a comprehensive review of the case.
Letters to the editor
Dear Editor:
The current news is confusing me. What does due process mean? I had to look it up. It is legal language from the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Due process prevents the U.S. government from depriving someone of life, liberty or property without fair examination. For each U.S. state it is in the 14th Amendment. Due process ensures fairness and protects against unjust treatment by the government. And Habeus Corpus? Is that French? No, it is Latin for a guarantee by the U.S. Constitution that allows people to challenge the legality of their imprisonment. It is a fundamental part of due process.
So, if people here in the USA are being deported without due process does that mean that my three children, that I adopted as toddlers, can be sent away? Would I know why?
Sincerely,
Betty Baker

Alturas Rotary Clubs Make Improvements at JLS Sale Barn
By Laura Snell, Alturas Sunrise Rotary President
This past year, the Alturas Rotary Clubs came together to apply for a Rotary District 5190 Grant to make improvements to the JLS Sale Barn. This grant is a matching grant where local Rotarians contribute $5000 and the district matches $6650 towards local club projects. Rotarians replaced the old rotten wooden posts with new panels that match the panels purchased previously for the Junior Livestock Show. Rotarians also removed the old woodchips, leveled out the grounds, and maintained some of the trees around the facility.
We are extremely grateful for our community and businesses for their help in accomplishing this project. A huge thank you to White Bear Construction, Modoc Steel, Cascade Fencing, C8 Metal, High Desert Lumber, and the Modoc Firesafe Council for all donating time and supplies for the project. We are still working to process enough woodchips for the floor of the sale barn. This is where we need your help! Please bring tree limbs to the north west corner of the JLS arena (the arena with white fencing) on the corner of 8 th and Nagle. Look for the yellow cones and bright colored flagging.
The Modoc Junior Livestock Show is June 16-20 with shows and activities happening all week. Friday evening, June 20 th is the community BBQ and Livestock Sale. Join us in the sale barn for a celebration of our Junior Livestock Show, happening since 1948. See the Modoc Record online at www.modocrecord.com

Fourth Graders Visit Modoc High Welding Shop
Fourth grade students from Mrs. Elder’s class at Modoc Elementary School visited the Modoc High School welding shop last week, joining the agriculture welding class for a hands-on learning experience.
The elementary students wore full personal protective equipment and observed several mechanical procedures. Modoc High welding students guided the visitors through the shop and conducted a welding demonstration.
The field trip provided a unique opportunity for students to inspire and be inspired. School officials said they are encouraged to see younger students showing interest in welding and mechanical trades.
2025 GREAT ROTARY DUCK RACE
July 5 at noon • Finish Line is at Main Street and Dorris Bridge
Christina Jane (Kresge) Copp
Christina Jane (Kresge) Copp slipped peacefully into eternity to be with her beloved Jesus on May 13, 2025, at her lifelong home near Adin, CA. Born September 19, 1950 in Alturas, CA, to Owen & Betty Kresge, Jane and older brother Paul were raised on the family ranch north of Adin. She was active in 4-H in her youth, showing sheep and steers and excelling at sewing. She graduated from Big Valley High School as valedictorian in 1968 and UC Davis in 1972 with a degree in human nutrition. She left California for an internship as a dietician at Virginia Commonwealth University in the fall of 1972, which gave her and Jim Copp enough time apart to realize they should get married. Since the church was already decorated and the family was all together, they wed December 26, 1972, on her Christmas break, and lived six months in Virginia. That was long enough to convince them both that they belonged in California, where they returned to Jim’s hometown near Placerville, CA and worked together in their new business: Copp’s Irrigation. The business moved with them to Adin in 1976, when they took over the ranch from Owen & Betty. Even while busy raising her children Julie, Jana, and Perry, Jane could be found out on a tractor, building wheel lines, digging thistles, feeding cows, doing book work, or any of the many other jobs required to run the businesses. She was integral in the success of the family ranch, Copp’s Irrigation, and Copp’s Corner (now Juniper Junction under different ownership). She loved people and gave her time as a 4-H leader, substitute teacher, Sunday school teacher, church pianist, and good friend and
neighbor. Never one to complain, she would joke that having the whole clan crammed in the cab of a work truck bouncing out to a dirty job somewhere was “family togetherness.” She sacrificed comfort and convenience to live in simple contentment, building a legacy for future generations. As beloved “Granny,” she never turned down time with the grandkids, even if it meant sacrificing her own meal or sleep, saying “I’ll have time to eat/sleep/do chores when I’m dead.” Despite health issues over the past year, Jane remained steadfast in faith, uncomplaining to a fault, patiently persevering, and unselfish as a saint.
Her greatest joy was her family, and missing her deeply are her husband of 52 years, Jim, daughters Julie Dawson-Parlee (Robert) of Adin and Jana Baber of Willows, CA, and son Perry (Katie) Copp of Adin, and grandchildren Ellie Placide (Ben), Jacob Dawson (Elizabeth), Ely Dawson, Brett Baber, Molly Baber, Brad Baber, Isaac Copp, and Ethan Copp. She leaves them with her favorite saying: “May the Lord bless and keep you.” (Numbers 6:24)
A casual celebration of her life will be held Saturday, July 5 so drop in any time between about 5-7 PM at the Adin Park. Please join the family for hamburgers and whatever side dish or dessert you’d like to bring. Her wish was to spread her ashes on the ranch, where she will join her parents in fertilizing the wildflowers, thus fulfilling her desire to “just be useful in my old age.”
To honor her memory, please love others, say your prayers and go to church this week, give your pet a treat, and go ahead and eat dessert before eating your meat
(preferably beef), fruit & vegetables, because life is sweet and should be enjoyed! Donations may be made in her name to the Adin Community Park at PO Box 206, Adin, CA 96006
The family wishes to thank the first responders of the Adin Volunteer Fire Department, Southern Cascades EMS, Modoc County Sheriff’s Department, and the “last responder,” Kerr Mortuary, for their professionalism and compassion.
Molly Lynn Edgerton passed away May 8, 2025, at the age of 69. She was born March 24, 1956, in Alturas, California, to Lorin and Sue Edgerton. A life-long resident of Adin, Molly attended primary and intermediate schools in Adin and Bieber and graduated from Big Valley High School in 1974. She went on to attend Shasta College where she received an A.A. degree in Administrative Justice. Her secondary field of study was in Natural Resources.
Molly worked in Timber on the Big Valley Ranger District on the Modoc National Forest for 50 years. Since the 1970s, she worked in the woods laying out, marking, cruising, and preparing timber sales for bid to the timber industry. She loved her resource work with the U.S. Forest Service and took pride in caring for the federal lands on the Modoc. Molly was also a passionate Union official with the National Federation of Federal Employees Local 1836 on the Modoc since the 1980s. She served as the Vice-President and was always active as a Shop Steward who helped the bargaining unit employees with workplace issues. Molly developed solid relationships with the management of the Modoc National Forest to ensure that the concerns of the bargaining unit employees were heard and respected.
Together with longtime former Local 1836 President Lonnie Lewis, Molly worked at solving problems at the lowest level. Her work with the Union was invaluable.
Having been raised in a family tied to the logging and sawmill industry, Molly always spoke proudly of the history of the Edgerton Brothers Lumber Company Mill that was once owned and operated from 1935-1958

Come share memories of this wonderful man
On May 31st 11:00am at the Alturas Cemetery.
by her late grandfather, Harry L. Edgerton and his brothers. Several years ago, Molly purchased some of the land and the old office building, located at the north end of Adin at the old sawmill site. She had hopes of someday turning the little building into a museum. Molly had a big heart and was a very thoughtful, caring, and giving person. She regularly made donations to various charities and organizations. She was a life-long member of the NRA and once served as secretary for the Adin Volunteer Fire Department. Her favorite pastime was reading murder mystery/crime novels. She was an avid San Francisco Giants fan and rarely missed any games aired on TV. She had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good laugh. Molly dearly loved her family and valued her relationships with countless past and present co-workers, colleagues, and friends. She will always hold a special place in our hearts and will be greatly missed by the many lives she touched.
Molly was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by sister Lenni (Conrad); brother Perry (Lisa); nephews Lorin and Dayton Edgerton and Benjamin Gaylord; step-nephews Dan and CJ Straub; nieces Ashley Gaylord (Robert) and Allison Edgerton, Aunt Anna Rae Wood, many close and distant cousins, and her beloved cat Willow.
Graveside services will be held Friday, May 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Adin Cemetery with a Celebration of Life potluck gathering to follow at the Adin Community Center. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Molly’s name to High Plateau Humane Society, Alturas, California.

MHS Recognizes Standout Students
Modoc High School has officially announced its Class of 2025 valedictorian and salutatorian, recognizing two standout seniors whose academic achievements and personalities left a mark on campus.
Genevieve Walton has earned the title of valedictorian. When asked what this honor means to her, she said, “I am proud of this accomplishment after trying my best in school because it validates how hard I have worked. I am excited to expand my education in college and look forward to what is in store!”
So, what’s next for Walton after graduation? She’s heading to UCLA to major in psychology. And if you ever need a caffeine fix, she’s your person. Her resume-worthy hidden skill? “I can remember everyone’s coffee order—as long as it’s less than two.”
This year’s salutatorian is Randi Urban, who shared what it felt like to receive the recognition: “I feel honored to have this recognition and to see all of the work I have put in pay off.”
Urban will attend UC Berkeley to study architecture. And as for her underappreciated talent?
“I’ve mastered parkour in a very small, unimpressive way—like hopping over a backpack,” she said with a smile.
Both students reflected on their journeys with humor, humility and
determination. Modoc High School congratulates Walton and Urban for their hard work and wishes them continued success in the next chapter of their lives.
Newsom’s Budget Leaves Crime Survivors at Risk, Say Advocates
In a move drawing criticism from advocacy groups, Governor Gavin Newsom’s May Budget Revision has failed to include critical funding for services that support survivors of violent crimes—placing hundreds of thousands of Californians at greater risk, according to the California VOCA Advocacy Alliance and the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence.
In a joint statement, the organizations condemned the Governor’s failure to close a major gap in federal funding, warning that the omission jeopardizes essential, life-saving services for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, and other violent crimes.
“Governor Newsom’s budget fails to include
funding to sustain essential, life-saving services,” said Chris Negri, a representative of the California Advocacy Alliance. “Thousands of victims will be left without resources to deal with the aftermath of crimes.”
Without an infusion of $260 million in state funding, services such as emergency housing, mental health care, and forensic rape exams could be severely curtailed, forcing many survivors to remain in unsafe situations or face homelessness. The scale of need is staggering: in 2021 and 2022 alone, over 816,000 Californians accessed services funded by federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) dollars.
Advocates also criticized Newsom’s recent push for cities and counties to dismantle
homeless encampments without addressing the clear overlap between homelessness and abuse.
Data show that: 22% of unhoused Californians report experiencing domestic violence, 42% of homeless youth and 25% of adults experienced child sexual abuse, and 1 in 5 unhoused survivors reported being sexually abused while homeless.
“The need for stable housing services far exceeds the resources that advocates have to provide them,” Negri emphasized.
Nearly half—46%—of Californians experience intimate partner or physical violence in their lifetimes, with 1 in 20 experiencing physical violence in just the past year. Advocates argue
that if California’s leaders are serious about public safety and reducing homelessness, they must fund the services that directly support survivors. This lack of funding would directly and severely impact organizations like the Modoc Crisis Center, which provides daily, front-line services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crimes in rural communities. The Modoc Crisis Center is often the only lifeline for survivors in the area, offering critical support such as emergency shelter, advocacy, mental health referrals, and crisis intervention. Without sustained funding, their ability to protect and empower survivors will be drastically undermined.
The California VOCA Advocacy Alliance,
representing more than 200 organizations across the state, is calling on Governor Newsom, Speaker Robert Rivas, Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire, and bipartisan legislators to act immediately.
“California is better than this. We cannot balance our budget on survivors’ backs.”
Advocates urge all Californians to take the following actions: Call Governor Newsom’s Office
• Phone: (916) 445-2841
• Suggested Script: _”Hello, my name is ______. I live in ____, California. I’m calling to ask that the Governor prioritize $260 million in one-time victims’ services funding in negotiations over the budget. I was disappointed to see this not included in the May Budget Revision...”
Attend a Rally in Sacramento
• Date: Tuesday, May 20
• Time: 10:30 – 11:00 a.m.
• Location: West Steps of the California State Capitol
• Purpose: To urge lawmakers to address federal funding gaps that jeopardize essential victim services.
The California VOCA Advocacy Alliance is a coalition of over 200 organizations committed to supporting survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, and child abuse. Their mission is to ensure equitable access to core services and uphold the rights and safety of survivors across California.
Modoc County Boxer Qualifies for 2025 Junior Olympic Nationals
Twelve-year-old
Messiah Maes, a standout amateur boxer from Modoc County, has qualified for the 2025 Junior Olympic National Championships in Las Vegas, Nev., where he hopes to bring home a national title.
Maes, who has been boxing for five years, is currently ranked No. 8 in the nation in his age and weight division.
With more than 40 fights under his belt, he has competed in major tournaments across the United States, steadily building a reputation as one of the sport’s rising young talents.
Three months ago, Maes achieved a major milestone by defeating a former United States champion by unanimous decision— a victory that secured his spot at this year’s Junior Olympic Nationals.
With his eyes set on the No. 1 ranking, Maes is determined to represent Modoc County with pride and continue his climb in the national boxing scene.
In 2024, Maes earned a bronze medal at the USA Junior Olympics, finishing the tournament ranked sixth in the country. Most recently, he fought in the United States Championships in Richmond, Va., where he reached the quarterfinals.
Modoc Falls to Portola in 9-7
Heartbreaker,
Ending Six-Game Win Streak
Modoc Lady Braves postseason hopes came to a halt Friday with a narrow 9-7 loss to Portola, ending the Braves’ six-game winning streak. Despite the defeat, Caelli DePaul delivered a standout performance on both sides of the ball. The senior struck out
13 batters across seven innings, allowing six earned runs and three unearned on 10 hits. DePaul has now recorded at least five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, she went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a triple and a stolen base. Macy Benson also had
a strong showing, going 2-for-3 with a double, a run and a stolen base. Aubree Knighton added to the offensive push, finishing 2-for-4 with a double, one run and one RBI.
The loss dropped Modoc’s overall record to 12-10. Portola improved to 16-10-1 with the win
See the Modoc Record online at www.modocrecord.com
and will face Quincy at 4 p.m. Tuesday. The Tigers’ pitching staff will face a tall task against the highpowered Trojans, who are averaging 9.3 runs per game this season. Modoc has no further games scheduled at this time.
Quincy Ends Modoc’s Season With 8-4 Victory
Modoc’s strong regular season didn’t translate into postseason success, as the Braves fell to Quincy 8-4 on Friday in a playoff matchup. Modoc had edged out Quincy 4-3 in their previous meeting earlier this season, but the Trojans turned the tables when it counted most. The Braves have struggled down the stretch, dropping three of their last four games and closing the
season with a 15-9 record. Meanwhile, Quincy continued its hot streak, picking up its seventh consecutive win to improve to 15-7. Modoc has no further games scheduled. Quincy will face Mt. Shasta at 4 p.m. Tuesday. The Trojans will have to contend with a red-hot Bears lineup that has scored at least 10 runs in each of its last three games.

agricultural machinery, and sustainability— giving students a rich, hands-on look at the vital role agriculture plays in daily life.
Many arrived in cowboy boots, tennis shoes, or rain boots—ready to get a little dirty and dive into the learning experience. A classic hot dog lunch was served to the students, adding a fun and casual break in what was already an engaging and educational day.
Beyond learning about agriculture, the field trip fostered a sense of connection between the younger students and the high school leaders who guided them. It was a meaningful day of exploration, education, and community—a day sure to be remembered by all who attended.
Management group will meet on how to deal with anger issues (by referral or walk-ins welcome).
