Miner complains
Yuba too cold!
A Smartville man’s complaint that the water in the Yuba
River has become so cold fish can’t spawn and miners can’t
mine got little sympathy from Yuba County supervisors this
week.
James L. Butler Jr., a placer miner on the river since 1951,
accused the supervisors of being ‘‘partially to blame for the
miserable condition the Yuba is in now.”’
Because of Bullards Bar Dam upstream, the water is so cold
“nobody, unless you are a penguin, can swim in the Yuba, let
alone stick your foot in it,” Butler complained.
In an accompanying poem, he added:. ‘‘Prospectors trying to
pan for gold have quite an ordeal, your hands get so cold you
wish you were a penguin, or arctic seal.”
Supervisor Roy Landerman wasn’t impressed. ‘‘Miners have
been mining gold in much colder regions of the Sierra for a long
time,” he observed.
Supervisor James Martin suggested advising Butler to wait
until spring before swimming in the river.
Parent-teacher
meetings called
Parent-teacher conferences
are planned for Lyman
Gilmore School on Thursday
and Friday with all parents
urged to visit teachers between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30.p.m.
to discuss the progress of their
children.
The school is on a trimester
system this year, therefore
report cards will not be issued
until Dec. 5. However this is a
good time to receive a current
progress report on students.
Since students have several
teachers it is difficult to assign
a specific conference with
each. In an effort to prevent
crowding and periods of
waiting, the schedule below is
suggested for visitation during
the two days. “aye
On Thursday those whose
family name begins with A
, ‘through B should visit between
8:30 and 9:30; with C, 9:30 to
10:30; D and E, 10:30 to 11:30;
F through G, noon to 1 p.m.; H,
1 to 2; I through L, 2 to 3; and
M through Mc, 3 to 4.On Friday, N through O,
8:30-9:30; P through Q, 9:3010:30; R, 10:30-11:30; S, noon
to1; T, 1 to2; U through V, 2-3;
and W through Z, 3-4.
If the schedule causes an
inconvenience, parents may
visit at other times. If there is
not enough time to speak with
the instructors, parents may
schedule a conference with a
specific teacher at a near
future date.
According to Principal John
Waggoner, ‘‘We. feel that
conferences are very important in informing you of
your child’s progress at school
and hope you will make every
effort to.meet with the .
teachers at this time.
