Board is br Feb. 19,1975 The Nevada County Nugget 5 iefed on Truckee River floods. “Records show that the January February 1963 flood in the Truckee River Martis Creek area was the largest and most damaging in recent years.” This information is contained in a report presented to county supervisors Tuesday. The report also notes that the 1963 flood was one of eight that have occurred since the turn of the century. John Sibilsky, a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers in Sacramento, Tuesday presented the report and gave supervisors scientific information concerning the historical background of floods in the Truckee River and Martis Creek area. 5 32: : SERS He was accompanied by other members of his organization and a representative of the State Department _ of Water Resources. They will make a similar presentation at’ the March 4 board of supervisor meeting scheduled for Truckee. The Flood Plains Information Report was prepared by the corps of engineers at the request of the Nevada and Placer County Boards of Supervisors. It is available to others. A very brief condensation of the report is as follows: Flood plain areas along the Truckee River in Placer and Nevada counties and along Martis Creek in Nevada county _ have been, WPASTIC!~ damaged by large floods in the . Research reveals that floods: of similar or larger magnitude can occur on the Truckee River in the future. A flood control reservoir on Martis Creek provides a high degree of protection on that stream. Facts on the flood potential and hazard along the Truckee and Martis Creek are a part of the report, which includes maps, drawings and photographs that illustrate the extent and severity of future floods. The difference between. the intermediate regional flood and the standard project flood is explained. An intermediate flood is expected to occur about once every 100 years, although it could happen in any given year. A standard flood is an extremely large flood, but one that reasonably can be expected to occur in the future. It would be much greater than the regional flood. The report was prepared under the 1960 Flood Control Act with the indorsement of the California Department of Water Resources. It was undertaken because knowledge of potential flooding is important in land-use planning. Information contained in the report would be useful in programs dealing with ecological and environmental aspects of the study area and its land-use role as part of its surroundings. Recommendations or plans for the solution of flood problems are not included. Neither does it extend ‘any federal authority over zoning or other regulation of flood plain use. The contents are divided into chapters of Background Information, Flood Situation, Past Floods, Future Floods and a Glossary of terms used. It includes tables, figures, pictures with cover photographs of typical scenes of flooding and damage along the Truckee River. “The Divine Eccentric” hy Nevada City Author Doris Foley A WELL DOCUMENTED STORY OF LOLA MONTEZ STARTS MAR. 5th IN THE NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET “Divine and eccentric’ weré two words most often used by newspapermen of the 1850's to describe Lola Montez, the European danseuse and favorite of King Ludwig of Bavaria, that is before she caused his abdication and her own exile. Lola’s California adventure began the morning she stepped off the Northener, and never stopped until she had rocked and scandalized the state from city to mining camp and back again. Her marriages, her lovers, her wild tantrums, her talent and her strange efforts to settle for keeps in Grass Valley, has tied her inseparably to California history. Nevada City author Doris Foley assiduously searched through California’s newspapers, of every issue published between 1853 and 1861 for the material in this different kind of historical book. What the newspapers said about divine Lola_ makes rather contrasty reading with what Lola said about herself — for her autobiography is included also in this work.
