4A Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Indian Valley Record BUDGET, from page 1A of things," Ingstad said. "I would caution everybody again by saying this is just a preliminary, recommended budget. And the board's going to change a lot of this." The preliminary budget did not include any cuts to the county sheriff's office. The district attorney's office actually planned to reduce its budget by $29,000. Ingstad said the budget in- cludes enough money to keep the county fair in business, at least through September. "But then we need to start thinking about inventing new ways of doing things out at the fair, because the state money and the local contributions probably won't be there for hundreds of thousands of dollars," Ingstad said. "There's going to have to be some creative community nonprofit, county ideas." On the revenue side Ingstad said the county's fund balance is about $1.1 million less than it was last year. He said the county is negotiating with the unions about changing insurance companies, which he said could save the county about $200,000. "That's all being negotiated with the unions right now," he said. Ingstad added that the county could dip into its $238,000 contingency fund and/or $1.9 million in re- serves to balance the budget. Supervisor Sherrie Thrall asked Ingstad how stable he considered his revenue projection to be. "I think (the county) has taken its biggest property tax hit," Ingstad said. He said the state is project- ing slight growth in the sales tax revenue as well. Although Ingstad said it is hard to imagine things getting much worse, the supervisors are well aware that they face some agonizing fiscal decisions in the coining weeks. "We are down to bare bones now. I've never seen it this bad," Supervisor Lori Simpson said. "There is no fluff in this (budget). "We are in a recession -- a double-dip recession. We have 22 percent unemploy- ment in our county. And we are supposed to take in pris- oners (from the state) and give them jobs and housing when we can't even get our own people jobs and housing."

L --.  --... =--  i .-- .-- .... _. J A small crowd of citizens came to Veterans Memorial Hall in Portola June 12 to dedicate a memorial to all of those in Plumas County who have died in war. Two of the soldiers listed on the granite memorial were from the Spanish-American War, the rest from World War I until today. Troy Biggs (center), commander of VFW Post No. 3758, led the dedication ceremony, assisted by Chaplain Mac McBride (left of Biggs). Veteran Dave Rudolph (right • of Biggs) spearheaded the movement to obtain the second stone monument for additional war dead. A Blue Star Memorial highway sign was also placed to mark the Veterans Memorial. Photo by Diana Jorgenson Veterans memorial dedicated Diana Jorgenson Staff Writer djorgenson@plumasnews.com Members of VFW Post No. 3758 and American Legion Post No. 329 gathered with the public before Portola's Veterans Memorial Hall Sunday, June 12, to dedicate the Veterans Memorial. The first large granite plaque bearing the names of Plumas County residents who have died in battle had not yet been dedicated when it was discovered that names were missing from the plaque. And then another Plumas County soldier, Jeremiah McCleery, died and a new stone was ordered. Despite a few setbacks, the second granite monument was in place for the dedica- tion, as was a new Blue Star Memorial highway sign, sponsored by the Chico Horti- culture Society, placed at the entrance to the Memorial Hall parking lot along High- way 70. VFW Post Commander Troy Biggs led the ceremony surrounded by the post's color guard. In dedicating the granite memorial, Biggs said, "These men are worthy of far greater recognition than mere words or markers. The sacrifices they made and the deeds they performed shall be written in history and shall remain alive in our memories for generations to come. We express sincerely our pride and gratitude for the tasks they fulfilled." Supervisor Terry Swofford also spoke on behalf of the county and honored those veterans who gave their lives in battle. He recounted the dead in all the wars since World War I, a tally that continues today. City Council member and fellow veteran John Larrieu represented the city of Portola, which was pleased to be one of the sponsors of both the memorial and the Blue Star sign. The ceremony also in- cluded a rendition of taps and a moment of silence in memory of those who died. After the ceremony, the veterans and the public re- tired to the Hall for refresh- ments. Another Council member and Delleker businessman, Curt McBride, unveiled a pet project, a beautiful painting covering an entire car in honor of "The Fallen Ones" at the ceremony. The car's theme not only honors sol- diers who have died in battle, but those who died on 9/11 and those who give their lives in the line of duty. Monument to family killed in Canyon crash rerc00o,Jed from roadside A monument along High- way 70, installed by family members of three Oroville residents killed in a June 4 crash, was removed by Caltrans last week. According to a report from the Chico Enterprise-Record, the elaborate cross with a concrete stone base was erected near the side of the road where a car carrying Jameson Olson, 35, Cody Olson, 16, and Jameson Olson IIl, 9, plunged into the Feather River. The site of the accident was near the Butte-Plumes County line. According to the report, Caltrans officials said the monument presented a traffic hazard. • "It's illegal to put monu- ments in the state right-of- way," Caltrans spokesman Mark Dinger told the Enterprise-Record. "For us, it's a safety issue. The last thing we want is a driver being distracted." Scott Thompson, a Caltrans superintendent who was overseeing the monument's removal June 16, told the paper "It's a difficult thing for us. We feel for the family." The monument was about six feet tall and abot/t six feet wide at the base. Motorists reminded to slow down The California Department of Transportation reminds motorists that the highway construction season is in full operation and asks that drivers remember to "slow for the cone zone" and obey the "move over law" which now applies to highway vehicles as well as emergency vehicle.s. With almost 800 projects currently in construction throughout the state of Califor- nia, including 55 in Northern California in District 2, it is vital that motorists remember to slow down when approach- ing a construction zone and, when on a multilane highway, to move over or slow down when they see a Caltrans vehi- cle flashing warning lights. This "move over" law, signed by the governor in Oc- tober 2009, requires motorists traveling on a freeway to move over when safe or slow down when they see a Cal- trans vehicle flashing warning lights. Highway workers face the same dangers from fast moving traffic as emergcJncy personnel and tow truck oper- ators. Violation of the provi- sion is punishable by a fine. Cone zone safety • tips include: --Do not speed in work zones; obey the posted speed limits. --Stay alert! Expet the unexpected. --Watch for workers; drive • with caution. --Don't change lanes unnec- essarily. --Avoid using mobile phones while driving in work zones. --Turn on headlights so that workers and other drivers can see you. --Be especially alert at night while driving in work zones. --Expect delays, especially during peak travel times. :--Allow ample space be- tween you and the car in front of you. --Anticipate lane shifts, and merge when directed to do so. --Be patient! Since 1924, 177 California Department of Transportation employees have been killed on the job; 12 of those were from District 2.
