Siskiyou County also needs help from federal agencies starting with more law enforcement. Our California District 1 Congressman Doug LaMalfa is seeking help from federal agencies. He has reported “threats” that have been made towards our sheriff and the county to the FBI asking for help. We also need U.S. Marshals, Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Wildlife Service officials here to see first-hand the destruction and help abate it.
Last week, LaMalfa released four videos specific to the main issues with these organized crime activities. The videos are short from three to six minutes long and packed with visuals and information. You can find the videos on “Rep. Doug LaMalfa” youtube page. The name of the videos are: “Rep. LaMalfa, Sheriff LaRue and Supervisor Haupt at the illegal grows; “Siskiyou OES visit to discuss Lava fire and illegal grows; “Inside the grows and the impact on the environment”; and “Bulldozing the grows.

Kimberly DeVall, public affairs officer for Klamath National Forest sent out disappointing information on Friday. (Remember, it isn’t her fault!) As the Forest Service employees measured the snowpack around Scott Valley, they found an “extreme plunge” in the snowpack levels. Warm weather and lack of additional snowfall along with high-elevation rain storms drastically affected the snow that was up at the 5,000 to 6,000 foot levels.
DeVall said that the early-May survey showed the snowpack is at 21 percent of the historic average and the water equivalent is at 18 percent. This was found at all the survey areas from Scott Mt., to the Boulders and on Salmon Mt. behind Etna. So this is bad news.
