Nathan Johnston, returning to Mt.

The Dunsmuir City Council held a public meeting to get citizen input on the recently announced possible up grade of the city sewer and water system. The meeting was held at the Dunsmuir Community Center, Friday February 19 at 5 pm. Approximately two hundred attended the hearing which focused on the projected 39% user rate hike over three years after the proposed projects completion.
It was generally acknowledged the Dunsmuir sewer system is in critical need of repair. Interim City Manager Alan Harvey detailed the information in a power point presentation and then the meeting was opened to citizen comments. Many people reported they had not received the meeting notice mailed out by the city. And a majority of those that spoke were strongly opposed to the project as presently proposed. A recent article in The Dunsmuir News detailed the fact that, by law, property owners and those listed as listed users can vote to reject or approve the project. if the project is rejected, by a simple majority, then the city must present an amended or re-designed plan.
Siskiyou Media Council Looking to Staff Tech Projects
December 16, 2009
SMC Executive Director, Audra Gibson, announces opportunities for community members to join the growing team of technical staff needed for upcoming projects beginning in the Spring of 2010. “We are looking to interview people with video production expertise; producers, editors, audio, lighting, script writing, on camera presence, and voice over or speech talents. There are a number of ways that residents can learn and practice these skills and work their way towards our professional staff which compensates for such skills.” COS offers a semester long Community Television class (register now for Spring Semester), MCTV 15 has weekly “Public Access Production Day” on Wednesday each week where registered producers can book the production facility for use; community volunteers are welcome to come and get 'hands on training' during these productions, and SMC together with the COS Media Department are exploring training programs or workshops designed to bring skill levels up to speed for the upcoming professional projects. For more information on how you can get involved and learn new skills pertaining to media production, call Audra Gibson at 938-5910, or email info[at]mctv15.org.
