on Second Street, accord- ing to Robin Kampmann, interim city engineer. It is about 750 feet be- tween the stop sign inter- section of Walbridge and Second streets and Park Avenue and Second Street, Kampmann said. If a stop sign were placed at the Luning intersection, the city would have stop signs placed about 350 feet apart along Second Street, which is very close in that area. Kampmann said the city recognizes the purpose of stop signs is to provide traffic control at intersec- tions as prescribed by lo- cal, state and federal reg- ulations and not as speed control devices. City pro- cedures call for periodic review of the streets and traffic issues and incorpo- ration of needed improve- ment based on the severity, threat to public safety and available funding. Mayor Gary Jones said he drove the street the other day and when he was stopped at one of the stop sign he could see the next stop signs clearly. He agreed with the staff rec- ommendation. Councilman Robert Schmid said the people who drive in that area of- ten know the area and therefore will go slow since Second Street is narrow. Luning has a dip that al- lows for Second Street driv- ers to continue straight as those on Luning slow down. The council voted unan- imously against the instal- lation of a new stop sign specifically in that area. Sign FROMPAGE1 atively low cost, Severson said.

As the concrete from the spillway falls into the Diversion Pool and Lake Oroville continues to fill, the California Depart- ment of Water Resources is sending about 35,000 cfs of water continually down the broken spillway. ThreattoOroville Some of the water in the Diversion Pool is routed through the Ther- malito Forebay and After- bay where it warms before being used for crops. The rest, about 40,000 cfs as of Thursday, goes directly into the Feather River. The river flows parallel to Montgomery Street, one of downtown Oroville's main streets. Right now, the only thing separating the 40,000 cfs of water in the Feather River from flooding the downtown part of the city is about a hundred yards and a levee that holds back the water. Eric See, a public infor- mation officer with the Department of Water Re- sources, said 150,000 cfs went through the Feather River in Oroville during a storm in 1997. The DWR is saying the worst-case scenario is wa- ter going over the emer- gency spillway. See said as long as the weather fore- cast is correct and the rain stops by the weekend, even the emergency spillway won't be used. In a separate news con- ference streamed online Thursday evening in Sac- ramento, DWR acting di- rector Bill Croyle said re- leases in the broken spill- way will have to increase by Friday evening to be- tween 50,000 and 55,000 cfs or the lake will likely pour over the emergency spillway around midday Saturday. Even if that happens, the spillage over the emer- gency water route will pre- vent damage to the dam and keep the public safe, Croyle said. "The integrity of the dam is not compromised," See said. That might be true, but it hasn't stopped Oroville school districts from can- celling classes Friday or the Feather River Parks and Recreation District from closing city parks. In case of emergency With the potential for water to crest the 901- foot elevation emergency spillway, (the dam is 922- feet elevation — 770-feet from the base) Cal Fire- Butte County Battalion Chief Russ Fowler said the county and state com- bined fire service is bull- dozing trees and remov- ing debris on the hillside just in case the emergency spillway is used. During the press con- ference, Fowler traced a ravine on a Google Earth satellite image showing the path water will take if it flows over the emer- gency spillway. California State Parks District Superintendent Aaron Wright said the Spillway Launch Ramp fa- cility, just northwest of the dam, would suffer mini- mal damage if the water crests the emergency spill- way. "It's meant to take it," he said. "Basically, it's a big parking lot. We don't anticipate any long-term damage." Wright said State Parks would have to make re- pairs to the Brad Freeman Trail, a bike and hiking trail that runs along the Diversion Pool and comes up the slope near the spill- way. The trail then crosses the dam. "Parts of the trail could be damaged," he said. "We'd have to repair that." Croyle said the Diver- sion Pool can only rise so much before water backs up into the power plant at the base of the Oroville Dam. For that reason, water has to be released from the Diversion Pool into the Thermalito Forebay canal and the Feather River. Debris in the water Even without trees and brush on the hillside add- ing to the mess, debris from the concrete spill- way structure and the dirt, rocks and mud under and around the concrete are already washing into the Diversion Pool and the Feather River as the flow of water continues. Brown, muddy water pouring over the Fish Bar- rier Dam has caused biol- ogists to move the fish at the Feather River Fish Hatchery to a location in the Thermalito Afterbay. DWR's See said boats that collect debris from the surface of Lake Oroville are being moved to the Di- version Pool to help keep the rubble out of the river and the Forebay. "We need to understand how much erosion is going to come out of the bottom part of the spillway," Cro- yle said. He noted that debris is going to be a problem in the future and said repairs to the broken concrete structure will take place in the spring and summer. Levee FROM PAGE 1 By Jocelyn Gecker TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO A war of words has erupted over a concert planned to mark the Summer of Love in San Francisco. The city at the center of the 1960s countercul- ture movement is gearing up for celebrations that in- cluded a "Summer of Love 50th Anniversary" concert that was to be a focal point of citywide cultural events. The June 4 concert was ex- pected to draw tens of thou- sands of people to an all- day, outdoor, free concert in Golden Gate Park. But city officials in- formed event promoter Boots Hughston this week his request for a permit was being denied. In a sharply worded, 3-page letter, the San Fran- cisco Recreation and Parks Department said that Hughston had made "nu- merous misrepresenta- tions" about how security and crowd control would be handled, leaving them with concerns about pub- lic safety. It said Hughston has made conflicting state- ments about the expected attendance and security measures, on-site medical facilities and other matters and then went ahead and publicized the event before securing a permit. "Given the ongoing un- certainty about basic safety elements of your plan and your unfortunate pattern of deception and misrepre- sentation about your plan- ning efforts, we cannot put the public at risk and grant a permit for your proposed event," said the letter, which was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle . It was dated Tuesday and signed by Diane Rea, the manager of permits and reservations at the Recreation and Parks Department. Hughstoncalledtheletter a "character assassination," saying he has a flawless re- cord as a concert promoter and had organized events at Golden Gate Park and else- where since the 1970s with- out any problems. He said the parks depart- ment had given him per- mission 2 weeks ago to ad- vertise the event but was now searching for ways to back out and cancel the event and had fabricated what they called misrepre- sentations.

By Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A fed- eral appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate Pres- ident Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven pre- dominantly Muslim nations, unanimously rejecting the administration's claim of presidential authority and questioning its motives. The three judges of the SanFrancisco-based9thU.S. CircuitCourtofAppealssaid the argument that the ban targets Muslims raised "se- rious allegations" and pre- sented "significant constitu- tional questions," and they agreedthatcourtscouldcon- sider statements by Trump and his advisers about wish- ing to enact such a ban. Moments after the ruling, Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT," adding that "THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" In response, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat who leads one of the states thatchallengedtheban,said: "Mr. President, we just saw you in court, and we beat you." The panel declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban and allowed previously barred travelerstoentertheU.S.But it did not shy away from the larger constitutional ques- tions raised by the order. The judges sided with the states on every issue one technical matter. They re- jected the administration's argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president's immi- gration and national secu- rity decisions. They also said the administration failed to show that the order met con- stitutional requirements to provide notice or a hear- ing before restricting travel and presented no evidence that any foreigner from the seven countries was respon- sible for a terrorist attack in the U.S. IMMIGRATION Federal appeals court refuses to reinstate Trump travel ban PEGGYJESSOP February 1, 1925 ~ February 1, 2017 Peggy Jessop died February 1, 2017, in Red Bluff. She was born in Long Beach, CA on February 1, 1925. Her parents were Clella Hundley Lines and Eric Hundley. She was pre-deceased by her husband of 60 years, Herbert (Daunt) Jessop. Peggy spent most of her youth in Pima, AZ, where her family had originally homesteaded. Mainly a farming com- munity, it was a good place to live during the years of the Great Depression. Her beau in high school was Daunt, who she wed on June 1, 1943; at the start of WWII. Dur- ing her travels with Daunt to US bases, she was asked by the USO to perform in shows for the troops overseas. Her sister had taught her to tap dance and Peggy became proficient at tapping on roller skates. Daunt quickly said "no". That was that. When the war was over, she and Daunt lived in various locations on the west coast and had three daughters: Sharon, Dianne and Viki Lyn. They moved to Glendora, CA, in 1956 where they raised their family. Once the girls were all married, Daunt and Peggy moved in the 1980's to Red Bluff, CA. They built their dream home in the country. During this time they also enjoyed traveling in their RV; spending time with friends and family. Peggy took pride in her homes and loved to tend her gardens; especially her roses. She enjoyed playing Bridge, Mexican Train and lots of other games. She played golf, and loved to dance and sing. She started taking art lessons in her 40's and that became her life's passion. She joined the Red Bluff Art Association as an active member, serving in various positions, including President. She switched from oil painting to colored pen- cils in later life and was part of the "Pencil Stubs" group. Peggy was always up for fun and spent her 80's finding new adventures, including hot air ballooning and a glider plane ride. She and some friends also took up shooting and called themselves "Girl's with Guns". Peggy leaves behind two daughters, Sharon and Viki, 6 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, twin sisters and their husbands, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who love her deeply. There will be a viewing at Chapel of the Flowers funeral home from 12-1 p.m. on Saturday, February 18th fol- lowed by a memorial service at Oak Hill Cemetery.
