Anticipating an Awesome Autumn Feather River Tourism Association Feather River Tourism Association Anticipating an Awesome Autumn in Plumas County The Feather River Tourism Association is prepping for Plumas County’s “Awesome Autumn” anticipating a great season for leaf peepers. “As we get into the fall season, reports from the US Forest Service ecologist, Kyle Merriam, are that we will have spectacular colors for the guests who come to Plumas County to enjoy all that autumn offers in the area,” says Sharon Roberts, FRTA chair and owner of St. Bernard’s Lodge. “Though some of the areas have the blight of the Dixie Fire, the ash is still deeply imbedded in the soil, which is a great color enhancer so the fall palette promises to be more vibrant than ever and will show off the best of what Mother Nature has to offer,” she adds. The FRTA board is doing a big push to encourage “leaf peepers” to come to Plumas County to enjoy the spectacular display of colors that are unique to the area due to the wide variant of trees, different elevations and climate. The FRTA website will post a weekly blog showing the colors almost as they change; and the different locations accessible whether biking, taking a hike or doing a road trip. To be included in the posts are the array of eateries that boast fall fare such as Patti’s Thunder Café spice latte, Cravings pumpkin waffle or Carmel apples from Carey Candy Co. Other topics, to entice and inform in the blogs, will be the science behind the changing of colors with a video courtesy of US Forest Service Ecologist and how colors can enhance our mood. “A goal of FRTA is to encourage guests that we are more than a summer vacation spot. Fall is particularly beautiful and what better way to introduce people to all the county has to offer from spring to summer to fall and winter,” she explains. To keep the blogs and social media posts current, we invite locals to send the FRTA pictures and share their sightings when out enjoying the beauty of where we call home.

Flu Shots Now Available Quincy Pharmacy PG&E Completes Main Underground Powerline to Greenville PG&E PG&E Completes Main Underground Powerline to Greenville; Two Planned Power Outages when PG&E switches from Substation Generator Power to Grid Power GREENVILLE, Calif. —Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has completed an 8-mile main underground power line from a substation in Canyon Dam to Power Line Road along Highway 89. With the new main power line completed, PG&E will transfer power from substation generators to grid power on September 18 and 19. More than 1,600 PG&E electric customers, mostly in Greenville and some in outer Crescent Mills, will no longer rely on utility scale generators at PG&E’s Crescent Mills substation. The switch to grid power provides more consistent and reliable energy delivery and eliminates noise and emissions from substation generators. To safely transfer the power source, the first planned power outage will be on Monday, Sept. 18, occurring between about 4 and 7 p.m. for 263 customers in Greenville. The second planned power outage will be on Tuesday, Sept. 19 occurring between about 4 and 6 p.m. and affecting 1,628 customers in Greenville and outer Crescent Mills. PG&E has notified impacted customers by phone calls. In about mid-October, traffic controls will no longer be in place between Canyon Dam and Greenville as PG&E’s contractor stops asphalt restoration. Asphalt restoration will resume in the spring after winter weather. “We at PG&E are deeply committed to doing everything we can to prevent wildfires in the communities we serve and live in,” said Joe Wilson, Vice President of PG&E’s North Valley & Sierra Region and a Plumas County native. “Our region has been devastated by wildfires in recent years. Undergrounding work protects our customers, neighbors, friends and families.” Other PG&E power line undergrounding projects currently underway in Plumas County include: Along Highway 70 east of the Plumas-Butte county line Along Highway 70 between Storrie and Belden Along Highway 89 between Indian Falls and Moccasin Areas of Greenville. After underground power lines are energized and placed into service, PG&E will later remove overhead power lines that previously provided power. PG&E is working closely with the County of Plumas and other agencies to ensure our work is well coordinated with the other projects such as road work. In 2021, PG&E announced a multiyear infrastructure safety program to underground approximately 10,000 miles of powerlines in and near high fire-risk areas. Building and expanding PG&E’s electric system underground will not only help reduce wildfires caused by equipment but will also help improve reliability and reduce the need and/or frequency for Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and other safety outages. Undergrounding is just one of PG&E’s layers of wildfire protection that has proven to be effective in reducing wildfire risk. All customers are impacted by wildfires, regardless of whether they reside near an actual fire zone. By undergrounding powerlines, and therefore reducing ignition risk in that location by approximately 98 percent, all customers will benefit from reducing all potential effects from ignitions. PG&E anticipate the undergrounding cost per mile will decrease as the scale of the project increases, to approximately $2.8 million per mile in 2026. About PG&E Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), is a combined natural gas and electric utility serving more than 16 million people across 70,000 square miles in Northern and Central California.
