GRANGE, from page 1A
government pages, whose
work doesn't require taxes or
insurance.
The Grange also stands
against the' use of some
pesticides.
Locally, he'd like to keep
the Taylorsville Grange Hall
open and to get as many
members as possible.
New officers elected to the
T ylorsville Community
Grange were Kevin Goss,
president; Ryan Neer, vice
president; Cassie Barr, secre-
tary/treasurer; and Gavin
Cleary, executive committee
member.
The oldest Granger at the
meeting was State Grange
Deputy Jim McDaniel, of the
Mount Shasta Grange, who
joined the Grange back in
1945. He spoke of the Junior
Grange Program and others
t!iat were exciting for the
future benefit to all.
State Grange leaders Jack
and Betty Eyler of Berry
Creek also came and offered
their help any time it was
needed. Honey Lake Grange
leaders in attendance in-
cluded Barbara White, Jack
Haslem and Val Brazil.
For more information

In the face of a significant
revenue shortfall and urgent
repairs, the Plumas County
Board of Supervisors re-
ceived more bad news about
Plumas-Sierra County Fair's
accounting practices.
Auditors from the Califor-
nia Department of Food and
Agriculture's (CDFA) Audit
Office found five areas of con-
cern in Plumas-Sierra Coun-
ty Fair's accounting practices
in its audit, dated Oct. 29,
2010, for the 2009-10 fiscal
year.
Those concerns are con-
sidered weaknesses in the
fair's operations and include
The CDFA report to the
Plumas County Board of Su-
pervisors included matters
that could have a significant
effect on the fair's financial
reporting process, including
significant audit adjust-
ments.
In addition, auditors found
areas in which the fair was
not in compliance with state
laws and regulations, the ac-
counting procedures manual
and established policies and
procedures.
The CDFA auditor recog-
nized the challenges of a
small fair staff on the degree
of segregation of duties. =.The
management letter suggested
fair board oversight was crit-
ical for proper internal finan-
cial controls and reporting.
its statement of operations " In his-written response to
reporting, cash accounts,
fixed asset accounting,
deferred revenue and-admis-
sions revenue. The auditor's
deferred revenue finding is a
repeat finding from prior
years.
The audit report painted a
picture of inconsistent and
often incorrect accounting
practices by fair staff. Staff
members maintain separate
records using QuickBooks, a
commercial accounting pro-
gram for small businesses.
Auditors cited examples of
errors in accounting entries
to QuickBooks, discrepancies
between county and fair
records and errors in finan-
cial reporting.
the report, fair manager John
Steffanic addressed the audi-
tors' findings with assur-
ances of correction.
Steffanic alluded to incom-
patibility between, county
and state accounting. He said
fair staff bridged the two sys-
tems with QuickBooks,
vhich "shows every sign of
solving the problem" despite
creating a "few inaccuracies
until we smooth our the de-
tails."
The fair manager said fixed
asset recordkeeping was a
problem predating his tenure
as manager. He assured the
state's Audit Office the fair's
property ledger was complete
and up-to-date and l,~ was
working with the county to
update its Hst.
Steffanic's letter concluded,
"We feel we've made good
progress; there were less
findings this year than in
previous."
As of press time, Steffanic
was on the agenda for the'
Feb. 8 supervisors' meeting
to request approximately
$30,000 be transferred from
the county's contingency
fund for high voltage electri-
,cal repairs. The transfer will
require a four-fifths vote of
approval from the supervi-
SOPS.
[n addition, the county's
chief administrative officer
(CAO), Jack Ingstad, esti-
mates the fair will need ap-
proximately $70,000 more to
finish the fiscal year, Which
will also require a four-fifths
approval vote from the super-
visors.
Between the electrical re-
pairs and the revenue short-
fall, the fair will need about
one-quarter of the county's
contingency fund.
Given Governor Jerry
Brown's proposed cuts to all
California fairs, Ingstad and
Steffanic were not sure how
the fair would go forwa/'d
from this point. Both are cer-
tain there will be a fair.just
not how it will be organized.
The fair manager and the
CAO agree that it's important
for the county to keep the
fairgrounds operating as an
event venue.
MARIJUANA, from page 1A
have a prescription for
medical marijuana.
"We're mandated by the
state to do that, so it is
still federally not legal, but in
the tate of California there
was a lawsuit actually that
was won, which mandated ....
that the state and the county
had to be in compliance with
the initiative that was
passed.
Kennedy responded: "I
don't think it's actually
federally illegal for a doctor
to issue a 215 card. I don't
think there's a law against
that federally." He reasoned
this meant there wasn't a
conflict.
Hagwood told English only
a small percentage of people
with prescriptions actually
went to get their card
because dispensaries would
accept the prescriptions
themselves.
Kennedy added that he
wasn't as worried about
marijuana in general as
much as the effects he antici-
pated the dispensary having
on the community.
"I've never been really
affected by somebody smok-
ing weed other than being too
stupid to talk to and maybe
too hungry but this is just a
badddea."
As the discussion wound
down, Hagwood assured the
commission "should they
need a new ordinance or
expand upon the existing one
I have every confidence that
there are more than three
votes" on the Board of Super-
visors.
Hagwood added that one of
the people arguing for the
rejected dispensary in Por-
tola had previously been ar-
rested on methamphetamine
charges.
Kennedy suggested this
newspaper run a comic strip
depicting a medical mari-
juana dispensary "and a little
breezeway ... we'll call it a
gateway to a meth lab."
FAIRS, from page 1A
overall growth in attendance
and revenue. Budgets for.the
2011 season are approved and
funded and industry leaders
expect another successful
fair season as fairs continue
to provide affordable local
family recreational and
educational experiences.
"We anticipate the state's
direct return on its invest-
ment to fairs to top $150
million in 2011 plus the
added benefit of more than
30,000 full-time job equiva-
lents," said Chambers. "That
income, those jobs and the
future of 29 fairgrounds will
be m serious jeopardy in 2012
unless we find alternatives to
the governor's proposal."
California fair officials
have contacted Gov. Brown's
office and legislators, s-aid
Chambers, to explore ways to
trim fair funding and provide
alternative funding mecha-
nisms that won't compromise
the ability of fairgrounds to
generate revenue for state
and local governments.
"We are hopeful that with a
more strategic combination
of budget reductions, as well
as greater local control and
flexibility, we will be able to
protect the fair network and
increase income to state
and local governments,"
Chambers said. "Further-
more, a more thoughtful plan
will ensure the survival
of the thousands of small
businesses and nonprofits
that rely on fairs and fair-
grounds in California."
The CFA will present its
concerns and propose alter-
native solutions during, the
legislative budget hearings
this week.
