Electric string quartet to perform in Redding on May 4 PLEASERECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. To celebrate 100 years of stewardship, the National Park Service is planning a shared nation-wide quest to discover and document bio- diversity. You are invited to join the celebration as parks across the country host BioBlitzes this May. Whis- keytown National Recre- ation Area's BioBlitz will be hosted at the Whis- keytown Environmental School within the park, May 13 and 14. The BioBlitz will kick- off Friday morning with el- ementary and high school students participating in a variety of activities, in- cluding a blitz of plants and bees, aquatic inver- tebrate sampling, butter- fly identification, bird ac- tivities, mosquito and tick identification, and much more. The public is invited to a "Friday the 13th Bat Chat" presented by Hum- boldt State University and National Park Service bat experts, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Whiskeytown Environmental School. Come prepared for a half- hour evening discussion with the scientists, fol- lowed by a trapping session starting at sunset to meet the bats in your neighbor- hood. You'll have an opportu- nity to see and hear the echolocation calls of wild bats as they fly past, and if the research team gets lucky at the nets, you'll get to observe several bat spe- cies as they are captured, measured and safely re- leased. Bring water and a flashlight or headlamp-one that includes a red light set- ting is best. For the best chance of seeing wild bats, expect 1.5-2.5 hours. Bring a camp chair, if desired. On Saturday, May 14, the celebration continues with the Biodiversity Festival at the Whiskeytown Environ- mental School. Enjoy art by local artists, activites for kids, information booths hosted by local agenicies and organizations, a pre- sentation by the Local In- dians For Education and some foot-stomping tunes with the Jim Dyar Band at 1 p.m. Bring a picnic lunch, or sample some delicious food cooked up by the Savory Spoon. There will be a geo- caching activity, and pre- sentations by bat experts and by the wildlife biolo- gist from Sierra Pacific In- dustries who documented the only known wolver- ine in California. Addi- tional activities include hikes with the Califor- nia Native Plant Society, the Wintu Chapter of the Audubon Society, the Cali- fornia Lichen Society, and with butterfly and bee ex- perts from UC Davis. The schedule can be found on the park's web- site: https://www.nps.gov/ whis/learn/education/in- dex.htm.

WHISKEYTOWN Ce le br at e bi odi ve rs it y an d th e National Park centennial next month The Associated Press IRVINGTON, N.J. In the age of podcasts and streaming services, you might think pirate radio is low on the list of concerns of federal lawmakers and broadcast- ers. You'd be wrong. They're increasingly wor- ried about its presence in some cities as unlicensed broadcasters commandeer frequencies to play any- thing from Trinidadian dance music to Haitian call- in shows. And they complain the Federal Communications Commission can't keep up with the pirates, who can block listeners from fa- vorite programs or emer- gency alerts for miss- ing children and severe weather.
