ROTARY REALANDER NAMED STUDENT OF THE MONTH REDDING Shasta College will host its third Erosion Control BMP Summit 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 3 and 4 at the Shasta College Ero- sion Control Training Fa- cility and Farm. The farm is becoming world famous because the 5-acre site mimics an ac- tual construction site and is the training ground for the Heavy Equipment Op- erations classes. This international workshop is gaining par- ticipation of our industry partners from France and the Marianas Islands! This workshop is a partner- ship with Shasta College, the Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy framework, Sacramento Watershed Action Group, Western Chapter Interna- tional Erosion Control As- sociation, and the North Far North Consortia. Instructor John Mc- Cullah, SWAG and Shasta College instructor, with help from staff and stu- dents will present and demonstrate the most ef- fective Best Management Practices you can use for Construction Stormwater Protection. Special guest presenter will be Eric Ber- ntsen, formerly with the State Water Board. Eric has extraordinary experi- ence with MS4 regulations and in the area of hydro- modification. The two-day workshop is designed for people of beginning, intermediate or advanced erosion con- trol experience. It will be extremely beneficial for stormwater prevention pollution plan developers, reviewers, engineers, con- struction personnel, site inspectors, landscape con- tractors, and other water- quality professionals. BMPs are the "tools of compliance." How can stormwater plans truly become cost-effective without an in-depth un- derstanding of the BMPs and BMP selection, includ- ing how and where they should be applied, how to install and how to repair? This training is focused on the practical, in-the-field, implementation and in- spection of BMPs. Attend- ees will spend time both in the classroom and out in the field, spraying on hy- dromulch or helping to an- chor Turf Reinforcement Mats or rolled erosion con- trol products. Speaking of products, there will be a huge product exhibition, with manufacturers, de- velopers, and distributors of erosion and sediment control products from around the nation. Many products will be demon- strated in the field and ex- hibit hall. Attendees will have am- ple opportunity to mingle, not only with product dis- tributors but with other professionals working in this ever-growing field. Shasta College students who are actively receiving this training in their cur- riculum will be on hand. Contractors and install- ers will be given tips to save money and still in- stall BMPs they can be proud of. Learn how to construct a simple sedi- ment pond that drains by skimming cleaner water from the top. Shasta College has con- structed drainage ways where you'll learn ev- erything you need about TRMs. Learn the state- of-the-art site grading and soil surface prepara- tion BMPs that are most effective. Registration is $300 person, with group rates available. Discounts of 30 percent will be given to state, federal and local agencies with groups of 5 or more and early registra- tion. Scholarships are also available to small busi- nesses involved in Erosion Control. Registration in- cludes breakfast and lunch for both days. Register at www.watchyourdirt.com or call 247-1600.

CALTRANS Interstate 5 ramp work to start in May Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and the Friends of Whiskeytown in- vite park visitors for a free art demonstration with art- ist-in-residence Dan Crowe 1-3 p.m. Saturday, April 30 at the Visitor Center. Crowe is a figurative and landscape oil painter who lives and works in the Bay Area. His subjects are por- traiture, labyrinths, and our relationship to water. Whiskeytown is an ideal place to both wander and to focus on these subjects. He intends to generate ideas during his residency here at the park in the form of plein air oil sketches, for later studio work. Throughout the estab- lishment of the national park system, artists have played a vital role in the preservation of our nation's natural wonders. Even to- day, artists continue to broaden and deepen public awareness of these national treasures by translating the national park's mission vi- sually which can commu- nicate the enjoyment and stewardship of park values to the public and to people who may never have the op- portunity to visit their na- tional parks. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is one of fewer than forty Artist-in- Residence Programs in the National Park Service. For nearly a decade, Whiskey- town has annually hosted artists in the park for stays up to four weeks to pro- duce new works. The artist donates an original piece of work which best reflects the National Park Service's commitment to the preser- vation of cultural and natu- ral resources for the enjoy- ment of this and future gen- erations. The Artist-in-Residence Program's public art dem- onstrations provide a won- derful opportunity for the local community to meet talented artists from around the nation and to discover the many differ- ent painting techniques that are commonly used throughout the art world.
