REMSA Health’s Point of Impact program encourages parents to ensure their car seats are properly installed. A properly installed car seat can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent. When visiting the checkpoint, parents should bring their child(ren) and car seat(s) and schedule about 30-45 minutes; longer for more than one seat. Staff and volunteers will check for obvious defects and determine whether the car seat appears on a national recall list. In addition, they will check the installation, correct any problems and provide education on the proper use and installation of the car seat.

Youth Crew Season Wraps Up Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship The 2023 Youth Crew season officially wrapped last Friday, when the group gathered for a end-of-season BBQ in Quincy to celebrate this summer's long list of accomplishments. This year, 20 local teens participated in Youth Crew—four of whom worked both of the four-week hitches—and together, they built over 3,300 feet of new trail on Mount Hough, making progress on critical future #connectedcommunities links. Along with Hough, the Youth Crew also worked on Mill Creek, Chapman Creek, Bear Lakes Loop, Round Lake Trail, the South Park trail system, Mount Elwell and the Thousand Lakes Wilderness trails. THANK YOU to everyone who participated, to our trail crew leaders and to our supporters Sierra Pacific Industries, Osprey, REI, Red Wing Shoes, Patagonia and Plumas Bank.
