Ramps and lanes to be closed as paving work nears completion
 
TRUCKEE/TAHOE CITY – Caltrans is alerting motorists traveling in the Truckee-Tahoe area to expect traffic impacts as paving operations on Highway 89 move toward the Interstate 80 junction and the roundabouts.
 
Full eastbound and westbound I-80 ramp closures at the Highway 89 South interchange will be in effect around the clock from 5 a.m. Monday, October 2 through 8 p.m. Wednesday October 4.  One-way traffic controls will be in effect from 8 p.m. Sunday, October 1 through Friday morning, October 6 on Highway 89 from Donner Pass Road, south through the roundabouts, and extending several miles.




Delays of 20 to 60 minutes are expected.

LOYALTON CITY COUNCIL

9/22/2017

0 Comments

 

LOYALTON CITY COUNCIL now has three members, Mayor Mark Marin, Vice Mayor Nancy Rogers and Jason Vandaam with the resignations of Krystin Gallegos and Brooks Mitchell. One maintenance worker has resigned and at Tuesday’s meeting, it was announced Bookkeeper Kim Lombardi has resigned to work full time at Sierra Valley Home Center. The mayor credited Kim for a good audit and good work. 
The council voted to replace the maintenance worker.
For a council member, the three couldn’t agree on a new member so candidates Joy Markum, Libby Ryan and Colby Russell were asked to resubmit their letters and the council will have 30 days to fill Krystin’s position. Special election costs $3,000. 
For Brooks’ seat, it will be filled in 2018.
The mayor told of looking into solar at the sewer plant where “electricity is astronomical.” When it was suggested to use USDA funding, the mayor stated there is $600,000 from the lawsuit which has to be used on the sewer plant.
The mayor talked of the “City not in a good state,” and explained how the city only gets 17% of property taxes. “Due to past councils,” he said the County still gets all that money and “we do the job as if we get 50%,” and added, “something has to be done. Seventeen percent is tough.”
Heavy discussion was over the sewer plant and the mayor stated Loyalton was the only municipal that didn’t dump water into the Feather River. The mayor told how the plant never should have been built where it is, was fixed with no documentation or inspection and how the flow rate needs to be dropped. He told of needing to negotiate funding to find where all the water is coming from where people flood on 1st Street where there used to be a ditch out to the old Wily Ranch and Lewis Pond was taken out.
Those in the audience were outspoken over the trailer park and why people still weren’t being shut off. The mayor said he’d call the county and tell them they’ll shut off water. It was stated 20 residents are paying.
Over a community clean up, it was decided the council would call 4H, Boy Scouts and check with Probation. Concerning overgrown yards which were called fire hazards, from the audience, Libby Ryan questioned the council sending letters, wants follow up and to change the city ordinance. According to Assistant Fire Chief Robert DeMartini, the fire department makes a recommendation and the city writes the letters.
For PERS, the mayor said he knows of no contract and stated the city “is broke.” Money they’ve had, had to use “by law.”
DeMartini said the fire department had gone on 114 calls; last night’s “wasn’t anything.” It gets volunteers out of bed and was “nothing but a street light.”
The Council will find details before voting in favor of adding $1 to vehicle license fees to help fund removing abandoned vehicles from public land. Libby Ryan told of CHP “dragging out vehicles and it didn’t cost a cent!”​

ART & AG SEPTEMBER 30TH

9/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
The second year of the Sierra Valley Art + Ag Trail is about to roll through town on September 30. This year the free self-guided tour, an event of the Sierra County Arts Council organized by volunteer Sierra Valley residents, will include six working ranches, two farms, two historic schoolhouses, as well as the Sattley Cash Store, Sierra Valley Grange Hall and Feather River Land Trust’s Sierra Valley Preserve – thirteen sites in total spread around Sierra Valley.
Visitors are invited to start the day at one of the three Trailhead locations where they can pick up a printed map of this year’s event sites, and then proceed at their own pace along the trail. Trailheads will host artists and activities and will be selling event passports, prize drawing tickets and souvenirs, including beautiful quilt  
square flour sack dish towels by Karen Rickman, A Bit of Beach. 
The optional event passport ($20) features iconic Sierra Valley photos, including samples from local photographic artists participating in the event – Bronwyn Olsen, Micah Silver and Kacie Marin.  Passport holders will collect stamps from the event sites and exhibitors, such as cattle brands from the ranches and symbols representing the artists’ work. 
Two prize drawing tickets come with the purchase of a passport; additional are $5 each. The prize drawing includes many works of art from the participating local artists, such as a Black Bear painting by Sierra Brooks artist, Tyler Jacobsen (Sierra Valley Wildlife), a basket of goodies made by the fiber artists exhibiting at the Harvey Ranch, and a solar light from glass artist Katie Tanner of Beckwourth.  Local businesses have also contributed many prizes, including meals from Los Dos Hermanos and a fall decoration from Red Pony in Sierraville. The prize drawing will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Sierra Valley Grange Hall in Vinton.
Sites, Exhibitors and Activities
Each event site will host local artists (40 in all) on September 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as many other agricultural, artisanal and nature-based enterprises from the region. The event will also highlight the colorful Sierra Valley Barn Quilt Trail locations. Exhibitors will be set up in and around Sierra Valley’s beautiful old dairy barns and historic buildings, so that visitors can both learn about the history and modern-day uses of these buildings and enjoy artwork, informational displays and activities.
New this year, the Wily Ranch (most recently Cassida but now owned by Einen and Rhonda Grandi) at the northeast edge of Loyalton will be a site on the Art + Ag Trail. Helen (Wily) Roberti, who grew up on the ranch beginning in the 1930s, will be on hand sharing stories from her youth. The site will also host the Sierra Valley Yaks from Calpine, with Greg and Jenna Gatto supplying snacks to feed the friendly yaks. Lorraine Nielsen from Shear Bliss in Indian Valley, will be on-hand spinning yak fiber into yarn and showing and selling her wool products from her flock of Jacob sheep. The site will also host Rosanna Angel and her line of Heaven Sent bath products made from milk from her own goat herd, as well as Loyalton artist, Leland Cross and his beautiful paintings.
According to organizer, Kristi Jamason, this year there will be about twice as many artists and exhibitors at each event location and many demonstrations and hands-on activities and opportunities. Jennifer Kennedy of High Sierra Heritage Fruit will be at the Sierraville School with heritage apple tasting and an offer to try to identify visitors’ apples if they bring two or three of each variety along. The Grange Hall will have an apple press set up, so visitors can try pressing and sampling apple juice (along with being able to purchase a slice of homemade apple pie!). Over at the Harvey Farms & Forestry site in Calpine, 


visitors will be able to try their hand at spinning 
and weaving. Three local 4H clubs will be set up at the Roberti Ranch pole barn on Dyson Lane, allowing visitors to meet and pet their farm animals and ask questions. There will also be a hay maze, corn crib and games at KC Cattle Company and a chance to pick out your Halloween pumpkin at Lil’ Meg’s Pumpkin Patch – both on County Road A-23.
The historic one-room Summit School on Highway 70 and Lost Marbles Ranch at Marble Hot Springs Road and County Road A-23 are also new sites on the Art + Ag Trail this year. 
Summit School owners Ed and Diane Yang, of Reno, purchased the property two years ago to ensure the community continues to have access to this cultural historic resource. They set up a lending library just off the highway, have the interior of the school set up with desks, globes, historic photos and more period education-oriented pieces and are thrilled to be a stop on the Trail this year. They will host Paul Herman of Great Basin Pottery, Jeanne Tansey’s Baskets & Books pine needle baskets, Rich Banks with High Sierra Crystals of Chilcoot, artist Lori Paoletti of Vinton and Gloria Gipson’s Earth ‘n’ Light gemstone and crystal jewelry out of Beckwourth.
Lost Marbles Ranch, owned by Dick and Chris Spencer, will be showing off their wedding venue historic barn, with five artist exhibitors on site, including Lucia Biunno of Dog Walk Crochet, Loyalton schoolteacher, Adrienne Anila (Mama Fig fiber arts), Presley 
Sundberg’s Manifest Station Studio upcycled tin can lighting, Ryan Cook with his barn wood furniture, and Gail Frazier with her Pet Portrait service and mixed-media paintings.
A listing of all the sites and hosted exhibitors is on the event website under “Event Sites.”
On the Topic of Food…
This year local eateries are getting into the spirit of the event, as well. For example, Rhonda’s Lil’ Frosty will be offering an all-day hotdog special with fries and a drink. Cassandra Martinetti will be offering a family-recipe sausage and cheesy polenta special at Fork n Horn in Sierraville. Goodwin’s General Store in Chilcoot will have rotisserie chicken with a selection of sides.
Special to the event, chef Sean Conry, formerly executive chef of Longboards for 16 years, will be cooking up lunch fare with local culinary arts students from Portola High School and his Feather River College classes at the Sierra Valley Farms event site in Beckwourth. Using local ingredients, including heritage pork from Sage Eggs & Ham in Beckwourth, Sean and the students will be making and selling lunch fare, including pulled pork sandwiches and Thai pork meatballs (as well as vegetarian salad, soup and desserts created by the FRC pastry class). Anna Harvey will have family-recipe Basque chorizo sausage (with a twist - made with lamb) on a baguette for sale at the Harvey Ranch.
Visitors are encouraged to throw an ice chest in the car. Local pork (Sage Eggs & Ham) and lamb (Harvey Farms) will be on sale, as well as farm products from Sierra Valley Farms.
This year, both the Plumas-Sierra Cattlemen’s Association & the Plumas-Sierra Cattlewomen will be cooking up a delicious meal to end the day. The tri-tip dinner following the prize drawing at the Grange hall will be an opportunity to catch up with friends, compare passport stamps, swap stories, and participate in a live auction featuring local rancher (comedian), Rick Roberti. Advanced dinner tickets (including children’s pricing options) are recommended and can be purchased online until September 23. If the dinner does not sell out via online sales, tickets will be available at the door.
Traveling the trail and taking in all the sites, history and activities is free. Tickets for the Plumas-Sierra Cattlemen’s and Cattlewomen’s tri-tip dinner, passport sales and prize drawing tickets are on sale now via the event website, but will be ending in advance of the event.

Senator Gaines Highlights One Of The Most Taxing Sessions In California History

9/20/2017

0 Comments

 

SACRAMENTO - Following the conclusion of the 2017 legislative session, Senator Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado) is highlighting just a few of the ways the legislature voted to increase taxes and make California less affordable.

Gas Tax (Senate Bill 1)
The legislature passed and the Governor signed a transportation proposal that imposes $52 billion in permanent new gas taxes and user fees on motorists. Starting this fall, every motorist in California will pay an additional $0.12 per gallon of gasoline and $0.20 per gallon of diesel. That might not sound like much, but with this and the increase in annual vehicle registration fees by as much as $175 per vehicle, it adds up to an average of $350 per household over the course of a year. If you're a commuter, live in the country, or own a business, the cost could be much higher.
Cap-and-Trade Extension (Assembly Bill 398)
The legislature passed and the Governor signed an extension of the state's cap-and-trade program. Fuels under the program already adds $0.11 to every gallon of gas. The new gas tax adds an additional $0.12 cents to every gallon (that number will go up every year after 2021), and the cap-and-trade extension could add another $0.73 cents to every gallon of gas on top of that. While the rest of the country is paying $2 a gallon for gas, we are going to be paying a dollar and a half a gallon just in taxes and climate fees. A large portion of the money collected through the cap-and-trade program has been allocated to fund high-speed rail.
Housing Package (Senate Bill 2)
Included in a package of housing bills was Senate Bill 2, which the legislature has approved and sent to the Governor for signature. The bill would impose a $75 to $225 "recording fee" on all real estate transactions. The fee would generate as much as $258 million per year. Instead of addressing the housing crisis by reducing the obstacles to housing development, legislators have chosen to put the cost on the backs of California taxpayers.  


"Legislative Democrats have touted this year as 'one of the most productive sessions in California history.' I suppose this is accurate if you define 'productive' as continuing to pile on taxes and make California increasingly unlivable for businesses and hardworking working families," said Senator Gaines. "I will not give up. I will continue to stand up for California taxpayers that are getting nickeled and dimed at every turn."

Senator Gaines Calls For State Of Emergency In Siskiyou County Due To Marijuana Grows

9/13/2017

0 Comments

 

SACRAMENTO - Senator Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado) sent the following letter to Governor Brown requesting that he declare a State of Emergency in Siskiyou County related to the rampant illegal marijuana grows.



Dear Governor Brown:


I am writing to urge you to declare a State of Emergency in Siskiyou County to address the public health and public safety consequences resulting from the proliferation of illegal marijuana cultivation in the county.


All laws regarding legal marijuana cultivation are being ignored by individual criminals, crime syndicates and drug cartels, who are treating the public and private lands of Siskiyou County as their own illicit greenhouse, harming citizens, law enforcement personnel, and the agricultural community.


The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, despite outstanding leadership, has simply too few officers to effectively police such a vast geographic area on its own and is in desperate need of any and all assistance the state could provide, including deployment of California National Guard personnel to assist them in their mission to stamp out illegal grows.


The illegal grows are also notorious polluters and are doing grave damage to California's environment, with indiscriminate use of toxic pesticides and rodenticides that are not monitored by California's regulatory authorities. This unchecked use of dangerous chemicals is corrupting our soil and water, in addition to poisoning animals in and around the illegal grow sites.


A recent study estimated that illegal grows on National Forest lands statewide (not exclusively Siskiyou County) contain "731,000 pounds of solid fertilizer, 491,000 ounces of concentrated liquid fertilizer and 200,000 ounces of toxic pesticides." The waste is so concentrated that numerous law enforcement personnel have been hospitalized through exposure.


Workers at the illegal grows are also exposed to unhealthy levels of toxic chemicals and may suffer adverse health consequences as a result.


Siskiyou County ranchers are imperiled by the polluted water resulting from illegal grows and are also victimized by marijuana growers' water theft. This illegitimate industry is now threatening a legal industry that has been operating in the area for more than a century.


I recently took a helicopter tour to view illegal marijuana grows in Siskiyou County and was shocked by the scale of the activity. The grows are vast and numerous, and it's indicative of a community that is overrun by unlawful behavior, and of a criminal class that is in complete contempt of the law.


That is both sad and dangerous, and if left unchecked the explosion of illegal grows will continue to exhaust local law enforcement, threaten agriculture, and destroy communities.


The county has suffered under a rapidly accelerating spread of criminal marijuana growing operations. It is incumbent on state government to address this issue that has overwhelmed local government resources. I look forward to your prompt action on this matter.


Sincerely,


TED GAINES
Senator, 1st District

Harvey, Irma and 911, We Can Replace the Stuff

9/12/2017

0 Comments

 




By Dr. Glenn Mollette


Hurricane Harvey and Irma have been bad news to all in their paths. Lives have sadly been lost, houses demolished and personal items blown or washed away. Such horrific acts of nature remind us that we are all fragile and vulnerable. The right wind and rain can wash everything away including us and people we love so much.


We love our stuff. We store it. We hoard it. We want to pass it on to our children and grandchildren. There are storage facilities being built almost everywhere in America because we love our stuff so much. Harvey and Irma remind us again that our greatest assets are our lives and the people we love. If we have our health, safety and valued people in our lives then everything is either secondary or worthless in perspective to life and people.


None of us want to see our houses floating down a river or covered up in trees to never be lived in again. We don't want to lose our pictures and everything we have worked so hard to buy and cherish. Such loss is excruciating. However, it is stuff and stuff is never forever.


I recognize there is much about this planet that seems to last forever. There is a huge rock formation above my old home place that we always called Buzzard Rock. It was a fun place to climb and play as a kid. I can't see or tell where that rock has changed one bit over the last sixty years. It looks the same to me. I suspect a hundred years from now it will look much the same and another generation of people will have walked or played on that rock and passed on while Buzzard Rock remains for many others to come by for fun and play.


September 11 is once again here. Those of us who lived on that day will never forget the crumbling of the twin towers.  A new incredible building called the One World Trade Center has been built and is phenomenal. The tragedy of that day was so many innocent lives were snuffed out by such evil people. Those hardworking good American people are no longer with us and nothing can replace them. We remember them and their value to us all.


People are suffering in America today, from the people of Texas to all over Florida, Georgia and to all who remember September 11, 2001.  However, it doesn't have to be a hurricane or act or terrorism to shake our very lives. Often it's the everyday occurrences of life that sometimes go unnoticed by the masses of people round us. Often, it's the death of an aging parent or the sudden loss of a young adult that shakes our lives. A person overdosing and dying from drugs breaks our hearts. Or there is the man or woman we read or hear about who can no longer cope with the difficulties of life.


Take time today on this day to value who and what really counts. Cherish those around you and help those you can. We can replace the stuff. It's the people that we can't.

Attorney General Becerra Issues Consumer Alert Following Equifax Data Breach

9/10/2017

1 Comment

 

SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today issued a consumer alert following the Equifax data breach that affected 143 million Americans and over 15 million Californians. Equifax is one of the nation’s three major credit reporting agencies.  According to Equifax, the breach lasted from mid-May through July, and compromised names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers.

“Millions of Californians’ personal information has been compromised as a result of this massive data breach. Equifax's response to date is unacceptable,” said Attorney General Becerra. “My office has been and will continue to be in touch with Equifax until we get to the bottom of this massive data breach. We will do what's necessary to hold Equifax accountable. In the meantime, I urge all consumers to heed this alert to protect themselves.”
To check whether you have been impacted by the Equifax data breach, please visit: https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/. If you use Wi-Fi, make sure that you are using a secure Wi-Fi connection before submitting your personal information.
Consumers are also encouraged to take the following steps to protect their personal information:
1. Put a fraud alert on your credit file.
A fraud alert helps protect you against the possibility of someone opening new credit accounts in your name. A fraud alert lasts 90 days and can be renewed.
To post a fraud alert on your credit file, you must contact one of the three major credit reporting agencies below. If you contact any one of the three major credit reporting agencies, fraud alerts will be automatically added by the other two agencies as well. 
Experian 1-888-397-3742
experian.com/fraud/center.html
TransUnion 1-800-680-7289
transunion.com/fraud
Equifax 1-888-766-0008
alerts.equifax.com
2. Review your credit reports. Look 
through each one carefully.
Check your credit reports from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax — for free — by visiting annualcreditreport.com. Accounts or activity that you don’t recognize could indicate identity theft, especially accounts opened recently. 
3. If you find items you don’t understand on your report, call the credit bureau at the number on the report.
Credit bureau staff will review your report with you. If the information can’t be explained, then you will need to call the creditors involved and report the crime to your local police or sheriff’s office. See the Identity Theft Victim Checklist: www.oag.ca.gov/idtheft/information-sheets.
When he assumed office, Attorney General Becerra made protecting consumers a top priority. Among other actions, he has secured a record $18.5 million multi-state settlement with Target over data security failures that contributed to the compromise of 40 million customers' payment card information during the 2013 holiday season and a $3.5 million multi-state settlement with Lenovo to resolve allegations that it illegally preinstalled ad-injecting software that compromised the security of its computers.

AAA Offers 6 Tips on Earthquake Preparedness 'Drop, Cover ... and Hold On'

9/9/2017

0 Comments

 

BAY AREA, Calif. (Sept. 8, 2017) –  With the strongest earthquake to hit Mexico in more than 100 years happening overnight, AAA is reminding Californians not to delay in preparing their own family's earthquake and disaster plans.


"The Big One will happen in California — it's just a matter of when," said AAA Northern California spokesman Michael Blasky. "AAA wants to help you create a disaster preparedness plan for your family today, so you'll know what to do if an earthquake hits tomorrow."


Nearly 60 percent of Americans say they aren't prepared for a natural disaster. AAA hopes to drastically reduce this number by helping one million people prepare for a natural disaster by creating engaging tools and plans for the public. Resources that can help you prepare for an earthquake are available through AAA's Road to Ready game.


AAA Earthquake Safety Tips
  • Create an earthquake survival kit. This is one of the most important steps you can take. The kit should include canned goods and can opener, two to four quarts of water per person per day, battery operated or hand crank radio, sanitary supplies, a camp stove, portable radio, flashlight and spare batteries, and tools to turn off utilities.
     
  • Know how to shut off your home’s gas, water and electricity. You should also make sure your water heater is securely fastened to a wall or post with two metal straps.
     
  • Conduct family earthquake drills. Make sure everyone knows which areas in a room are the safest. This may be underneath a table or against a wall. Stay away from windows, fireplaces and tall furniture. And then, Drop, Cover and Hold On: find nearby shelter or use your arms and hands to protect your head and neck.

  • Decide where your family will reunite if you're separated. Choose a friend or relative you can call after an earthquake to let them know your location and condition. Phone lines are often overloaded or damaged in an earthquake and specifying one point of contact for your entire family will help avoid a strain on the system.
     
  • Childproof your cabinet doors. It may seem like an annoyance initially, but installing latches on your cabinet doors can prevent them from flying open in an earthquake. By properly securing the doors you can keep precious belongings from spilling out and breaking.
     
  • Check your insurance for earthquake coverage. Knowing what coverage you have can help speed up your recovery after a big quake. Most homeowners policies do NOT cover damage resulting from an earthquake, and in most cases a separate earthquake endorsement or policy is needed. You can find out more at AAA.com/insurance.


AAA Northern California offers a wide array of automotive, travel, insurance, DMV, financial services and consumer discounts to more than 4 million members. AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers since it was founded more than 117 years ago.

CAL FIRE Investigators Arrest Suspect for Allegedly Starting Ponderosa Fire

9/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Butte County – CAL FIRE law enforcement officers arrested John Ballenger, age 29 of Oroville, on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 on suspicion of causing the Ponderosa Fire.  Ballenger is suspected of recklessly starting a campfire outside a designated campground and allowing it to escape. The fire was reported to CAL FIRE’s Emergency Command Center in Oroville at 1:11 p.m. on August 29, 2017.
 
“All campfires pose a risk of escaping. A campfire should never be left unattended and must be extinguished completely before everyone leaves,” said Chief Darren Read of CAL FIRE/Butte County Fire.
 
Remember these tips before you light a campfire:
  • You must have a valid permit
  • Campfires should only be ignited in approved campfire rings
  • Use a shovel to clear an area at least 5 feet in diameter
  • Never leave a campfire unattended
  • Drown campfires with water and stir all ashes
  • Feel ashes with the back of your hand to make sure they are cool before leaving the area

America's Government Pension Pain

9/5/2017

0 Comments

 
 

By Dr. Glenn Mollette

Stories of struggling government pension funding have abounded the last few months. Reports of changing the retirement scenario for state employees
are dominating the conversation in states like New Jersey, Illinois, California and Kentucky.
 
Seventy-five year old retired Americans aren't interested in going back to work.
However, if state government pensions are cut some may feel like they have to.
 
Already, Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Target, Starbucks and scores of other retailers are filled with America's seniors trying to at least make grocery money to survive during their senior years. The picture of an 80 year old who has to work just to make payment on his government subsidized housing and to afford a few groceries is not a pretty picture of America.
 
Americans grew up in the sixties and seventies believing that someday most of us would be millionaires. During Jimmy Carter's Presidency and runaway inflation era all the projections concerning 401k-pensions were that they would yield at least a million dollars in savings.  A friend of mine who recently retired and paid into a 401 k annuity plan prescribed by his company for 35 years had approximately $350,000 saved to live on the rest of his life. That sounds like a nice chunk of money but it won't go far.
 
Take for example a state government pensioner whose retirement is $4,000 a month. Some are a bit less and many are a lot more. However, this is $48,000 a year plus medical insurance benefits. A state government employee who retires at 52 and lives for 30 years will collect $1,440,000 plus occasional cost of living increases, plus health insurance.
 
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a defined benefit retirement will produce a lot more yield over a lifetime than a 401k-pension.  A 401k requires a very grueling disciplined lifestyle of saving lots of money and doing without today in hopes of having money for the golden years. Most of America's current workers cannot fathom of trying to save $10,000 to $18,000 a year into a retirement plan because they need every penny today to live on. College loan debt, house payments and often one or two small children consume every penny. By the time people start seriously paying into a 401k-pension the race is on. You can't build much in 20 years unless you are paying $15,000 or more a year into a fund. Thus, most people need 30 to 35 years today to accumulate much money.  A government pension that promises you
$4,000 to $5,000 of money every month the rest of your life after working 28 years is a deal that is hard to beat.
 
Government retirements and other industries for years have afforded their retirees defined benefit retirements secured on the backs of what other people will pay into the fund. Social Security today is in trouble because the money people paid into it was not kept in reserve for the retirees. Instead we have spent it on Vietnam, Afghanistan and anything the government wanted to spend it on. Thus, we are already being warned that in 15 of so years there will not be enough people paying enough money into Social Security to fully pay America's future retirees what was promised.
 
One major problem we are trying to survive as Americans is the politicians who have been in office for so many years. They have taken care of themselves and failed Americans. Sadly, we keep electing them, and they keep failing us.
 
Saving American's pensions will take an all out effort. We can't just kick the can down the road. Eventually there will be no more money to borrow because the ability to pay it back will be impossible which is where we are throughout our country.
 
I do believe Americans will do their part if government will do its part.  Most pensioners would reluctantly take a painful ten percent cut if it meant saving the system.  Retirees would probably be willing to work to 59, but when you start at 25 that is still 34 years of work. A combination of state pension and Social Security would be a workable solution as well.  
 
More taxes are not the answer. A huge segment of people paying taxes in states like Illinois, New Jersey and Kentucky who are all in big trouble are state pensioners. The state pensioners can't afford any more taxes than the person next door. The idea of taxing the rich doesn't solve the issue because the rich people can all move their residency to another state including Texas, Tennessee or Florida where they don't have a state income tax.
 
States with increasing income taxes aren't doing so great - consider Illinois. Illinois can't afford to pay their lottery winners. A friend of mine said he was supposed to receive about $200 back on his state income tax filing but knew Illinois would never give it back to him and he was right, they didn't. They don't have the money. The new tax rate for individuals in Illinois is 4.95 percent as of July 1, 2017.  Kentucky collects 6% from its highest earners. If you earn over one half million dollars a year you pay 8.97% in state income tax in New Jersey. If you earn between $75,001 and $500,000 then the rate is 6.37% in New Jersey. In Florida the state income tax is zero. However, you do pay a 6% sales tax. In Florida you do not have to pay tax on income from an S corporation. 
 
One major plus of a 401k-pension fund is that at least it is your money. If you have saved two or three hundred thousand dollars then you can count on it. You can spend it or leave it to your children.  One thing about your government pension in this new modern era is - you probably can count on it - just probably not all of it.

3 Reasons College Students Should Run Their Own Businesses

9/5/2017

0 Comments

 




A typical student’s goal with a college degree is to join a company. Yet some graduates lack specific business essentials and life skills crucial to landing solid employment and finding long-term success.
Perhaps they should demand more of themselves while in school, and rather than merely aspire to join a company, actually gain the experience of running one. Learning how to run their own business from the ground up while attending college can give students a leg up.
“When you run your own business, you will learn how to market and sell yourself,” says Matt Stewart, co-founder of College Works Painting (www.collegeworks.com), which provides internships geared to managing a house-painting business. “Those are skills often lacking in college students.”
The extra time spent outside the classroom acquiring experience in the many aspects of business management can pay off in a broader education, which in turn can lead to better employment prospects. Here are some of the benefits Stewart sees for students who run a business while in college:
  • Learning to deal with rejection. Rejection will happen early and perhaps often when the college graduate goes to job interviews. Learning how a business owner keeps pushing forward when rejected on sales calls will strengthen the future job aspirant for the rugged world out there. “It’s an eye-opener for many college students who have never been told no before,” Stewart says. “Are you just going to cry because the first person says you’re not qualified for the job?”
  • Adding skills to the resume. The tough job market for recent college grads has been a trend since the Great Recession (2007-09). Forty-four percent were underemployed (in jobs not requiring degrees) in the final quarter of 2016, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Thus, a more balanced resume and diverse experience is required to separate the new job seeker from the crowd. “It used to be you just needed a bachelor’s degree and an internship,” Stewart says, “but now you also better have tangible skills and the soft skills – being able to communicate, knowing how to work with others, how to interact. You have to do that when you run a business.”
  • Learning time management. Much of the college experience could be used constructively to learn this important life skill, yet many students don’t always use their down time wisely. Being busier with a learn-a-business internship, coupled with a full load of classes, could equate to better time management. “If you’re going to school and running your own business, you have to manage your time well,” Stewart says. “If you’re taking 12 to 15 credit hours in a semester, that’s maybe 30 hours of work each week. You have a ton of hours left, and what are you going to do with that time?”
 
Before a company invests in college graduates, it looks at the amount of quality time and effort they invested in their future. Learning a business while going to school shows an interest in acquiring the proper mindset.
“The start of a successful career,” Steward says, “is treating college like it’s your job and getting ready for your life after college.”

California Statewide Fire Summary

9/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Tuesday, September 5, 2017


More than 10,000 firefighters are battling 23 large wildfires in California.

Strong high pressure will continue to be over the northern region. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler, but still above normal. Afternoon low relative humidity will still be at 8-14% for most areas. The high will gradually lose its influence on the northern region this week as the remains of Tropical Storm Lidia moves off shore. Moisture will begin to increase and conditions will become more unstable. This will lead to a few days of possible isolated thunderstorm development or even some light showers at times this week. Temperatures will be cooling to near normal for the latter half of the week. Southeast to south flow aloft will bring isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms to the mountains and deserts of the southern region through this weekend. Isolated showers will occur over the coastal and valley areas due to moisture from the remains of Tropical Storm Lidia. The southern region will be sitting between a high pressure over the Great Basin and Four Corners area and weak low pressure off the California coast through this weekend. This will cause near normal temperatures and humid conditions across most of the region through this weekend.

Motorists are responsible for many of the wildfires sparked along our roadways.  Nearly all these fire starts could be prevented by following safety rules that include practicing safe towing, no dragging parts, checking tire pressure, and properly maintaining brakes. Don’t drive your vehicle onto dry grass or brush. hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires that you won’t even see. Visit ReadyForWildfire.org to learn more about being prepared for wildfires. Get ready for wildfire with the new CAL FIRE app available on Android and IPhone. For current fire information, visit www.fire.ca.gov.

National Preparedness Month is an opportunity to plan for damaging earthquakes

9/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Earthquake insurance, retrofitting can be important steps toward financial well-being

(SACRAMENTO) National Preparedness Month each September provides an opportunity to act on the frequent advice of scientists, community leaders and emergency managers: Get informed about the different types of emergencies that could happen in your area and take steps to prepare for them.
This year’s theme is “Disasters don’t plan ahead. You can.” And the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) is urging Californians to take that message to heart for one of California’s greatest hazards and take steps to minimize their risk of financial hardship after an earthquake.
“We recommend Californians strengthen their homes and make sure they have the insurance coverage they need to recover from a damaging earthquake,” said CEA CEO Glenn Pomeroy. “Scientists say there’s a greater than 99 percent chance of a magnitude-6.7 earthquake happening in California in the next 30 years. That’s the same size as the Northridge quake that caused $20 billion in residential losses just 23 years ago. Having an earthquake policy could be crucial to financial recovery when the next quake strikes.”
CEA, the country’s largest provider of residential earthquake insurance, offers coverage for California homeowners, mobilehome owners, condo unit owners and renters. Last year, CEA expanded coverage choices and deductible options to make it easier for Californians to select a policy that best meets their needs and budget—so everyone can insure their valuable assets against earthquake damage.
Houses built before modern building codes are more susceptible to earthquake damage. CEA offers information about strengthening older houses to reduce their vulnerability to shake damage and help prevent them from toppling off their foundations. A code-compliant brace-and-bolt retrofit to strengthen an older house could also mean a discount on CEA earthquake insurance. And CEA now has a free online tool, QuakeGrade™, to help home inspection specialists evaluate a house’s vulnerability to earthquakes and make recommendations to the homeowner.
“Many of us realize that earthquakes can strike at any time where we work, live or travel,” said Pomeroy. “But some may not realize that if we take a little time to plan ahead, we’ll be better able to survive and recover when disaster strikes.”

Statement from DWR about California Dams Rating Information

9/1/2017

0 Comments

 
SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) released this statement from Director Grant Davis in response to the rating information released today by the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD):

“We are in an era of aging infrastructure in California, which requires a stronger approach to evaluating and investing in the facilities that residents and the economy depend on. Public safety is not negotiable, and the integrity of our dams and levees must be among the highest priorities for California.
“We cannot live in a risk-free world, so it’s imperative that we use the most effective technology and information to avoid problems wherever possible.
 
“Based on what we’ve learned in Oroville and what we will learn soon from the Forensic Team’s report, DWR will strengthen the re-evaluation and maintenance of the dams that we own. This approach requires additional commitment and prioritization of personnel and fiscal resources, which – though expensive – will be a fraction of the cost of recovery should another crisis occur. These include:
 
[if !supportLists]·       [endif]Evaluating the spillways at all dams owned by DWR to identify where potential causes of the Lake Oroville spillways failure may also be present, and make necessary repairs. Many of these evaluations are already underway due to the new spillway evaluation requirement from the Division of Safety of Dams.
 
[if !supportLists]·       [endif]Prioritizing our personnel resources to expedite critical repairs on dams owned by DWR.
 
[if !supportLists]·       [endif]Active contribution to the development of information and protocols for the next century of dam safety. As the innovation and technology hub of the world, California must take advantage of the best minds in science, engineering, and technology to set new standards for dam construction, management and safety. DWR will expand on our current partnerships with academia, dam safety organizations, Federal and State regulators, and other dam owners to establish a best-in-class program.
 
“DWR encourages all dam owners in California to take a similarly aggressive approach to dam safety, and we look forward to working with them as we learn and share information.”
