EMPORIUM Two Act 14 Notifications were received for pipeline projects that will benefit the oil and gas industry in Cameron County.

The first notice was received from Kleinfelder, an engineering firm based in Cranberry, on behalf of NFG Midstream Clermont LLC for the Clermont to Rich Valley Pipeline.

Two 16-inch diameter water lines one 16-inch gathering line and one 8-inch gathering line will be installed along a 5.6-mile stretch spanning Norwich Township in McKean County and Shippen Township in Cameron County.

According to documentation sent to the Cameron County Commissioners by Kleinfelder, the project will result in a total of 82 acres of earth disturbance and will require four wetland crossings and seven stream crossings.

The 4.2-mile stretch in Cameron County crosses a waterway known as Elk Fork, still marked on many maps as the Elk River due to its extremely long length. The Elk River is a tributary of the Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek and is a native trout stream of extremely high quality.

The pipeline will also cross near the headwaters of Cooks Run, which empties into the Driftwood Branch in Rich Valley.

A second notice was received from Kleinfelder concerning the EQT Lateral project in Shippen Township, southeast of Howard Siding.

Additional pipeline is being laid in the area of Hicks Run, with the identified section being a 0.9-mile stretch east of State Game Lands 14 near Whippoorwill Hollow and crossing Bigger Run. The project will see installation of 6-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and a permanent access road.

The commissioners have received word the bridge at Lick Island in southern Cameron County, near Sinnemahoning, has been scheduled and is expected to be completed by the end of June.

In other news, an inmate housing agreement was approved with Potter County to increase the rate paid for male inmates to $60 per day plus medical costs.

South Lake Tahoe may have a new restaurant, bar, gym and spa along with one less old motel by spring 2015.

Plans are currently in place to convert the 27-unit Highland Inn, located at 3979 Lake Tahoe Blvd, into a 3,851-square-foot restaurant and bar, a 3,352-square-foot spa and a 1,783-square-foot gym.

The plan has already been approved by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, said owner Moe Rahmani, and the design review and permit for the project was approved by city planning commissioners Thursday.

Im very excited about this project, Rahmani said Friday. I think its going to look really sharp and be good for the city. Theres going to be one less old motel in this town.

Construction, expected to begin after Labor Day and end about eight months later, will involve the replacement of existing fences, the replacement of lighting, and the installation of sidewalks, landscaping and best management practices.

The structure itself will remain the same shape, but the facade and interior of the building will be completely redone, Rahmani said. Exterior modifications will include new stone and wood siding.

Its going to be hot, he said.

At this time, no specific businesses have signed on to occupy the proposed space, but Rahmani said there were a couple interested parties. Mountain Mikes Tees and Skis, an existing business that has been operating on the southeast side of the inn for about 16 years, will stay on the property.

Rahmani said his hope is that the conversion attracts more tourists and locals to the property.

At the city planning commission meeting, a couple commissioners expressed their support for the plan. Commissioner Tamara Wallace was one of them.

The downstairs interior of the former inn at Navarro-by-the-Sea as of April 7, above. The 1860s building is being restored through efforts by the nonprofit Navarro-by-the-Sea Center. Lori Kaye, below, explains some of the challenges of restoring old, damaged trim. Most of the upstairs still requires extensive restoration work. Matthew Reed photos.

Restoration of the interior of Fletcher's Inn at Navarro River State Beach is well underway.

Jim Martin, Navarro-by-the-Sea Center board president, said Rosenthal-Thornton Construction of Fort Bragg had finished critical stabilization work to save the inn last fall. Among the repairs completed were major demolition, lead abatement, seismic retrofitting, a new perimeter foundation, reconstruction of the original front porch, restoring the siding, installing replica windows for the downstairs and repainting the exterior.

Then it was time to start on the interior. At the end of 2013, an anonymous donation allowed Navarro-by-the-Sea Center to hire restoration specialist Lori Kaye of Elk to work on the downstairs interior of the building, Martin said. Her work included lead paint containment, closing off openings in walls from the stabilization work, installing missing trim, fabricating a window and repainting.

Much of the interior paneling remains intact. Kaye said numerous coats of varnish were required to restore the one-inch thick tongue-and-groove knotty pine.

The original redwood bar is still intact and will be refinished, too, Kaye said.

The historic inn was both built in the 1860s and, with the mill house, is one of the only remaining structures from the original town of Navarro that sprang up around the mill at the mouth of the Navarro River.

Construction

Stacked in the room that had once been the kitchen were several 2-by-12 boards that had been used as floor joists before construction of the new concrete foundation.

Kaye said the former inn was constructed without blocking or rim joists. Blocking is the series of pieces of wood between studs. Rim joists go around the entire perimeter of a house and are connected to the ends of the floor joists to structurally tie in all the sides of the building to the foundation, she said.

The Stinson Beach Preschool received approval from the Bolinas-Stinson Union School District trustees in a unanimous vote Tuesday to install a portable classroom on the K-2campus.

Were very thrilled, said Susan Tacherra, the preschools longtime director, and now we can start raising the $115,000 to complete the project. When asked where she would begin, Ms. Tacherra jokingly asked, Do you have any ideas?

She said the school plans to approach the community and alumni for support and will seek out grants. The preschool currently serves 18 families with a Montessori-inspired creative curriculum. The school district will be charging a monthly rent of $10 for the next three years, starting this July.

The portable classrooma 40-foot by 24-foot box with wood siding and carpeted floors rented for $6,600 annuallyis scheduled for installation on June 25, and the new playground and replanted garden will be fenced in by mid-August.

I will be a contractor this summer, not only the teacher and director, Ms. Tacherra said. Its going to be a steep learning curve. The preschool is still awaiting approval of permits from the county, the last hoop we have to jump through, she added.
