Long days will continue for firefighters in Northern California. On June 20, this year's summer solstice brought an extraordinary dry lightning storm that ignited nearly 1,000 fires across Northern California. The longest day and the shortest night of the year may have occurred on June 20, but for firefighters, the days won't be getting shorter any time soon. More ... As Incident Commander of the Iron and Alps Complexes, I want to express sincere gratitude for your steadfast support while we have managed these fires over the last three weeks. As Trinity County residents, I know many of you have been through this before, but I also know experience doesn't make it any easier. More ... In our 15 years of service to the general public, the Old Lewiston Schoolhouse has been the recipient of countless donations.

They were efficient, kind and extremely professional. They knew what to do to make a distressing situation less chaotic. They were truly great neighbors. More ... On behalf of the Grass Valley Creek 4-H Club, I would like to thank everybody who supported us at our carwash on July 12. With your help, we raised over $480! All of the money we raised will be donated to the Trinity County Animal Shelter. Thank you for all of the community support, and I am sure the animals will appreciate it as well. More ... It's not surprising that Jim Fattig has tried to capitalize on the current fires to spread his propaganda (Feedback, July 9). Every time there is a major fire, Jim or someone like him jumps on the opportunity to blame everyone but himself and to promote his narrow log-it-all approach to forest management. More ... |
