Richard (Rick)

Henson

Richard (Rick) Henson, 58 of Sparks, Nevada, passed away December 27, 2025, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Richard was born January 31st, 1967, in Alturas, California, where he spent the first 10 years of his life. After the tragic death of his dad in April 1977, he and his mom, Jessie relocated to Anderson, California.

A 1985 graduate of Anderson Union High School, Richard was involved in various sports and student activities including serving as student body president. Later he would pick a career as a high wire electrician with Puget Electrical Company, based in Seattle, Washington and would eventually relocate to Nevada. He spent a lot of time traveling to various job sites with the same company with one of his favorite accomplishments was working on the new Las Vegas Raiders Stadium.

Dear Editor,

Letter to the Editor Looking Back

Dear Editor,

A fundamental tenet of politics is that elections have consequences, and not all such consequences are good.

It concerns me that California continues to move toward policies that may place heavier burdens on working-class families, retirees, and those living on fixed incomes. Sacramento Democrats currently control state government, and now there is discussion of imposing a mileage tax on every California driver. While wealthier residents may be able to absorb such costs, many others cannot. Some estimates suggest the additional expense of a mileage tax could reach thousands of dollars per year. For struggling families and seniors living on Social Security, that would represent a significant hardship.

Beyond the financial impact, many Californians worry that a mileage tax is designed not just to raise revenue but to discourage driving as part of broader climate policy goals. There are also legitimate concerns about privacy and government oversight if the state begins tracking how much people drive.

I urge voters — especially those who may be most affected financially — to carefully consider the long-term consequences of these policy decisions and how they impact everyday Californians.

Dear Editor,

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Modoc Feline Humane Society’s Valentine Day Kitten Shower. We received $1,000 plus $122.35 in food, toys and other essentials from our Chewy Wish List! We appreciate the community’s support and couldn’t do this lifesaving work without you.

My wife and I just mailed off our ballots for the oneissue special election that will determine whether or not Modoc County and the other few far north counties are robbed of our political voices in Sacramento. The thought of being at the mercy of the far-left coastal population is way beyond unacceptable.

Let me tell you a true story from my childhood on the Monterey Peninsula. At age 10 just after my family moved back to Monterey from Lake Tahoe where we lived for two years while my dad helped develop Squaw Valley for the 1960 Winter Olympics, a family from New York moved in down the street from us. They moved to California because they thought the gold rush was still going on. Yep, I kid you not, that’s how ignorant they were of California history.

This little true story applies to the clueless coastal

The damage was estimated at $5,000… Peace officers have been instructed to jail anyone driving a car without 1918 license plates… Alturas councilmen have taken up a drive to install a sewer system in the town. A day may be just around the corner when the outdoor utility will be a thing of the past. And then what will our young boys do on Halloween?

folk who have no idea of the challenges and problems and issues of ranchers, farmers, loggers, and so on. I bet that if a survey was done on the coast that asked where their food comes from they’d think that their food grows on the shelves of grocery stores. If that same hypothetical survey asked coastal folk where the lumber comes from to build their houses they would not be able to answer that question.

Richard is survived by his daughter, Rylie Henson, mother, Jessie (Sphar) Wilsey, grandparents, Walt and Joyce Sphar, aunts, and uncles: John and Hazel Looper, Jean Hanes, Fred and Joyce Beeman and numerous cousins, and friends that will miss him dearly. In addition to his father, Richard (Dick) Henson, Richard was preceded in

Some Modoc County folk were born-and-raised here so they had no choice in finding themselves here, but some of us came here from coastal urban areas and we came here to get away from all that madness.

THE MODOC boys who enlisted in the Grizzlies, California’s 2nd Artillery, are making good. Modoc furnished 22 boys, and 13 of them already hold ranks of non-commissioned officers. Such a showing, while remarkable, it is not unexpected in view of the fact that the boys were above the average in physical and mental qualifications.

Modoc Youth Dive Into Hydrology

After enduring 25 years with insufficient rainfall, California is shown on the U.S. Drought Monitor map to be drought-free (https:// droughtmonitor.unl.edu, January 2026). However, a recent Sierra Nevada snowpack measurement, showing 70% of average, is a reminder to conserve and protect groundwater. Hydrologists say snowpack melt into lakes, streams, rivers and ocean provides about one third of California’s water usage.

Native Traditional Environmental Knowledge (NTEK), with RISE Culture Advisor Lisa Craig, contains a cultural, work-based learning (WBL) initiative titled Water Protectors. Youth learn the hydrologic cycle, Earth’s continuous water circulation and transformation of state between the land, atmosphere and oceans, in a cultural STEM project.

Alturas and Surprise Valley students have annually hosted a Water Festival that highlights water protection and careers in conservation and management for the community. Through a K-12 Strong Workforce Program contract with the RISE-

MESA College Preparation program, all middle and high school students in Modoc County may participate in this STEM-pathway hydrology activities.

American Indian Education Centers (AIEC) inquired about the RISE project in hopes of duplicating Water Protectors. That interest prompted a RISE plan to publish a youth-developed handbook with interactive, culturally relative, waterprotection lessons and a guide to implement a community Water Festival.

Regina Hanna, Executive Director of SiskiyouWorks in Tulelake, learned about the STEM project handbook plan. She invited RISE into an Environmental Stewardship Memorandum of Understanding, which was completed in November 2025.

Hanna stated, “SiskiyouWorks is proud to help support Modoc County’s RISE youth Water Protectors with a stipend opportunity to plan for and create a handbook for a Water Festival.”

The first Water Protector handbook session commenced on Sunday, January 11th,

2026, at the Modoc College Center. Director Austin, Culture Advisor, Craig and Surprise Valley School MESA Advisor, Ingunn Ringvold met with ten youth (pictured) who committed to ten sessions of project work. All ten Water Protector sessions will provide lunch and a stipend to the youth leaders. Officers were elected, evidence-based water curriculum was researched,

until filled. First Evaluation March 16 Federal housing may be available for rent

Minimum age: 17 years old

For questions please contact Laura Snell at 530-233-6400 or Iksnell@ucanr.edu or Samantha Jager at 530-233-8850 or Samantha.Jager@usda.gov

and a Water Festival 2026 agenda was drafted. Each student officer will lead the design of one handbook lesson, and recruit a local agency to host a water-related learning station. Water Festival endeavors to expand participants’ understanding of their role in preventing pollution, conserving water, protecting watersheds, preserving natural habitats and to enhance awareness of

careers in hydrology. Water Festival 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, June 27th, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., at the Alturas Municipal Pool. It is free and open to the community. Additional information, and how to conduct a learning station, may be received from RISEMESA Director Austin at rise.liaison@frontier.com or (530) 233-2226.

Who Is Representative Jared Huffman?

Jared Huffman is the current United States Representative for California’s 2nd Congressional District. He is running for re-election in the Democratic primary in June and will also appear on the November general election ballot for the House seat.

With the passage of Proposition 50, Modoc County is scheduled to become part of California’s 2nd Congressional District beginning in January 2027. If Representative Huffman is re-elected, he would represent Modoc County at that time. Modoc voters will be eligible to vote in both the primary and general elections.

Recently, Representative Huffman’s staff organized a meeting in Alturas with a group of local residents to discuss issues affecting the area. Attendees asked questions and discussed local concerns.

According to his office, Representative Huffman’s priorities include affordability, health care access, immigration

reform, election integrity, and campaign finance reform. He has also addressed issues such as rising energy costs and wolf management in rural communities.

Some residents have questioned whether a representative whose district includes Marin County can effectively represent Modoc County’s interests.

Representative Huffman’s current district also includes

Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties, which are largely rural and face similar regional issues. Marin County includes both urban and agricultural areas, with beef and dairy operations contributing to its local economy. It is also home to geothermal energy facilities.

Representative Huffman is expected to return to Modoc County prior to the upcoming elections.

above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866)-960-8299, or visit this internet website https://www. altisource.com/loginpage. aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 202501254-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The tradition is supported by the arts council and community members who believe all children should have access to the arts without financial barriers.
