Ya know it seems that when one of them creates to many problems, they move em out of the area and put them in a different position, calling it a promotion for them.
Then they bring in a new one that has no education of the mining laws, and how they involve mining claims.
But he can probably dissect a frog in a New York second.

New American River district chief’s leadership forged by fire Victor Lyon served as acting district ranger during American Fire
Victor Lyon has been selected as the district ranger for the American River Ranger District on the Tahoe National Forest.
Lyon had been serving as the acting district ranger until recently and has held the position of district wildlife biologist in Foresthill since 2010. His two months as acting district ranger coincided with the American Fire in August that burned more than 26,000 acres east of Foresthill.
In announcing the appointment, Tahoe National Forest Supervisor Tom Quinn noted the leadership skills Lyon showed during the American Fire.
“Victor did an outstanding job as acting ranger this summer, including leading the district during the American Fire and its aftermath,” Quinn said. “I am very pleased that he will be serving in this capacity.”
Lyon started his federal civilian career in wildlife biology with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Merced County. He worked for the agency in various California locations and positions until joining the U.S. Forest Service in 2000 as a biological science technician with the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. He began work for the Tahoe National Forest in 2010.
Lyon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in wildlife and fisheries biology from the University of California at Davis. He has been involved in wildlife and heritage programs, as well as extensive work on National Environmental Policy Act efforts as an interdisciplinary team leader.
Lyons said he’s excited to have the opportunity to serve as district ranger.
“I look forward to getting some good work done on the ground, contributing toward a thriving work environment, and seeing what we can do,” Lyon said. “I’d also like to express my gratitude for everyone’s help on the American Fire this year.”
Lyon will report to his new position on Dec. 2. He succeeds Chris Fischer, who assumed the district ranger post in 2009. Fischer was promoted to deputy director of State and Private Forestry in the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Regional Office, located in Vallejo. Temoc Rios has been acting American River district ranger since mid-October.
