Bartlett, an Algona, Iowa Businessman who held the position since October 1, 1971. Prior to becoming president of Kiwanis International, Badskey served one year as president-elect, one year as treas~ urer, one year as vice-president, and three years as trustee of Kiwanis International. Hehas been president of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, Indiana, lieutenant governor and governor of the Indiana Kiwanis District, and both a member and chairman of the International Committees on New Club Building, Kiwanis Education and Attendance; and as a member of the hiwanis International Committees on Attendance and Membership, New Club Building and Achievement. -4 The Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, July 19, 1972 Campaign to stop Forest Service project A campaign to stop the U.S, Forest Service from paving a road which leads from the west ' side of Lake Tahoe into the Sierra Nevadas was launched — this week by an assemblyman. from Los Angeles county. 2 Assemblyman Robert Cline. charged that previous actions by : the Forest Service and A. Teichert and Son, construction firmof Sacramento, have caused se~ “able, Anyone who got through vere environmental degradation * of Blackwood Creek, "destroying one of the finest natural spawning grounds for trout in the Sierra." The Forest Service proposes to improve an existing sevenmile stretch of primitive road from near the lake across Barker Pass, The present dirt road across Barker Pass is one of the access roads to the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the Mexican to the Canadian border. Cline introduced a resolution this year calling for a state government study of the Blackwood watershed. The measure died in the ways and means committee, principally, Cline confesses, because he failed to clear the idea with Assemblyman Eugene Chappie, whose district includes the Tahoe area and who is a member of the ways and means committee. "T think I have Chappie's support for next year," Cline said. "He doesn't want to see this area destroyed and raped." In recent months conservationists have opposed linking up the Barker Pass road with others to the west, fearing the new trans-Sierra route which would be created would bisect aregion which still has wilderness qualities, Cline urges a massive letterwriting campaign against the road project, suggesting communications be sent to Reid Jackson, Tahoe National Forest headquarters, Nevada City or Douglas Leisz, chief of Forest Service operations in California, 630 Sansome St., San Francisco, Grass Valley general plan being revised The Grass Valley Planning Commission is in the process of revising the Genera) Plan for the city. New state requirements must be activated by January 1, 1973. This Monday the Planning Commission will cover two of the state required elementsLand Use and Housing. Consultants and interested citizens will offer opinions and informationto help establish goals for these two elements. The Planning Hall at 7:30 p.m. Commission meeting will be held at the City North San Juan News By Idabel Covert I wonder if it has ever before been 114 degrees for several days running in Celestial Valley? Phyllis Butz reported this interesting little tid-bit. She baked pies for the United Meth“‘odist Women's bake sale in the middle of the night, and because of the heat of the oven the temperature in her kitchen the next ‘morning was 78. <A cooling trend seems to have set in at ‘Jast. It is only in the 90's, and *eally the difference is remarkthis last week can weather anything that Mother Nature can throw our way. * OK Stephanie Langdon, lucky lass, is leaving this morning for Alaska to visit her brother Gene Covert in Anchorage for a couple of weeks. I hear the weather has been very warm there lately also. Low 80s, * * OK The Ridge Riders finally took their long-awaited trail ride Saturday and Sunday. They camped Saturday night at the Grizzly Creek Trout Farm which is located at the bottom of a canyon just off the Tyler-Foote Crossing road. I was fortunate to be able to join them for a barbecued steak dinner that night, and it was unbelievably cool down there among the pines, cedars, firs and madrone on the banks of Grizzly Creek. Saturday was absolutely torrid in North San Juan. It was a most enjoyable evening, with music around the campfire, and a watermelon feed later on. The campfire, by the way, was ina Forest -Service-type camp cooking grill, as no open fires are permitted in this kind of weather. The Ridge Riders have postponed their announced horseshow, which was to have been last weekend, A new date has not been set as yet. * OK Ok It has come to my attention that at least one North San Juan organization will back a community effort to purchase the old schoolhouse and save it for posterity in the form of a museum. It will take some very hard work and concentrated effort in the form of fund-raising, because it must by law go to the highest bidder. However, it can be done, if enough people see the need, North San Juan needs a museum a lot more thanit needs a gas station, a super-market, a motel, or anything else along that line. The only prosperity those things bring in goes directly to the commercial interests involved. The rest of the community gets nothing more than another place to spend its money. Washington News By JUDI STEWART With all this heat of the past week (109° at our place on Saturday) we have had an influx of swimmers on the river. The cool water is very inviting. Almost all the summer homes along the river and in town are in use this time of the year and on week-ends the campgrounds are a hum of activity. * * * The construction of the new bridge, which started one year ago, will be completed within the week. Blacktop was spread on the approaches on Friday, and a line will be painted down the middle of the new two-lane bridge early this week. Now all that is needed are a few "no parking" signs to make sure the two-lane bridge stays twolane! * OK Ok Washington District. Council held its regular monthly meeting on Saturday. Members were informed that our fire equipment needed some attention to make it ready for use at all times; also, the lot belonging to the fire department where the fire truck is parked must be cleared of grass within ten days, or the town would receive a citation from the U.S, Forest Service. After the sun went down, several of the townspeople met at the fire truck to work on the tools and start the clearing of the grass, * ok Ok Many of our local readers may have seen the rather large article about Washington, in the Sacramento evening paper. It stated how crowded our area gets on a summer weekend, I feel the article was a little strong, and over-stated the facts. We do have a lot of people in the area on weekends and as a result of the destruction of natural beauty, and littering of the area, local land owners are fencing off their property. These people paid large sums of money for. their land and continue to pay large taxes each year, They want to keep the river area as it is, not see the natural plant life destroyed by trampling feet and the river polluted by garbage left by these thoughtless people. All land along the river six miles up stream from Washington is privately owned except for Keleher Picnic Ground and Golden Quartz Campground which are government facilities. These areas are just not large enough to accommodate all the people who come into this area. (NSTANT BUVERS
