It will take out the toughest of tractors, Bill Hunt said. It is hard on axles and transmissions, and not everyone will try it with their trac- tors. Elzy Stephens, 77, of Orland hopped atop his 1951 John Deere during the Saturday morning tractor pull hauling a weight transfer sled most of the way down a stretch of muddy track set up in the middle of the field. The tractor is one of the first diesel series made with a starting motor, he said. The large green machine beat out some of the other tractors who couldn’t pull more than a few feet. It really depends on how they hook it up, Stephens said. “This one couldn’t stop me,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s just a game.” Stephens recalled winning pro- fessionally at another tractor pull in EGGS Continued from page 1A extra large prize. BILLS Continued from page 1A vate sector to keep the gates open. SB386 by state Sen. Tom Harman, R- Huntington Beach, would require the state to post a notice if it planned to close a park, list contact information for outside parties interested in taking over its operations and respond in writ- ing to inquiries it received. “Our goal is to keep the parks open,” said Eileen Ricker, spokes- woman for Harman. The bill does not require the state to make deals for private operation, only consider them and respond, Ricker said. “We’re hearing that people now will make these inquiries and never hear back,” she said. Both proposals, Blakeslee said, have revived concerns among critics in conservation circles and public employee unions about whether Republicans seek to privatize state parks. He said his bill concentrates on local government and volunteer involvement in part to allay fears about the profit motive. “There’s a lot of opportunity to expand volunteerism,” he said. Budget deficits have threatened California’s state parks for several years. In 2009, Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneg- ger cut about $14 million, which would have forced about 100 of the state’s 279 parks, beaches and other attrac- tions to close. A one-time budget move prevented the shutdown, but 60 parks were partially closed and 90 more were hit with service reductions. That led supporters of the state parks to propose an $18 increase to the state’s vehicle license fee, dedicated to park operations. In exchange, vehicles with California license plates would have been given free access. But voters rejected Proposition 21 last November, leaving park funding in jeopardy. The remaining state deficit for the fiscal year that begins July 1 is $15.4 billion, but Democrats and Republi- cans are at odds over how to address it. News tip? Call 527-2151 approval to use the facility and submit a letter to City Manager Steve Kim- brough. The letter is then brought to the council for approval. The council will hold the first of two required public hearings for the 2011-2012 Community Development Block Grant program. The hearings are a requirement to receive funding from the State Department of Housing and Community Develop- ment prior to submitting a grant application. The council will dis- cuss the adoption of sani- tary sewer management plant in accordance with the general waste dis- charge requirements of the state water resources con- trol board. According to the staff report, the plan documents the program to properly operate and maintain the Minden, Nev., in 2002 and 2003. “I was never into sports,” he said. “That’s the only trophy I ever won in my life.” It was Stephens’ second year at the Ridgeway Park show. For Mike Rychard, 47, of Ander- son, it was his first time at the show. Helping out his father, Phil Rychard, 71, of Corning, who had come last year, Rychard helped pol- ish off two show tractors they have rebuilt. “I’ve been around this one pretty much my whole life,” he said point- ing to one of the two 1952 Ford trac- tors. The two have spent three years working on them, he said. It has been a hobby keeping his father busy since he was diagnosed with lung cancer. “Every piece, every bolt, has been sandblasted and put back on,” said Phil Rychard. “It’s a lot of time and a lot of dollars, but you have something to show when you get through.” Phil Rychard was a truck driver before he got sick, he said. “This is all I do now,” he said.

The event was free for children ages 12 and younger. Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget calls for $11 million in cuts to the state park sys- tem for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The administration says that would force partial or full closing of an unspecified number of parks. SB356 and SB386 are scheduled for review Tuesday by the Senate Nat- ural Resources and Water Committee. Here are other bills lawmakers are considering as they face an upcoming deadline to pass legislation out of its house of origin: — Law enforcement officers would have to get a warrant before they could search the contents of a cell phone or other portable electronic device during an arrest, under SB914. The bill by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, would change current law, which allows investigators to search the device without getting a judge’s per- mission. The bill is scheduled before the Senate Public Safety Committee on Tuesday. — Members of state boards and commissions could not be paid salaries for three fiscal years starting in 2012 under a bill by Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Thousand Oaks. His SB153 would let them receive per diem payments for each day they meet during the three- year period. The bill is set for a hearing Tuesday before the Senate Govern- mental Organization Committee. — A landlord could outlaw smok- ing on his or her property, including inside rental units, under a bill by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles. The bill, SB332, is before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. — Sports teams would be prohibit- ed from relocating within California unless they have paid off their debts in their existing city, under a bill by Sen- ate President Pro Tem Darrell Stein- berg, D-Sacramento. His SB652 would require the owners of the Sacramento Kings to repay a $77 million loan to the city of Sacramento before they can move the team to Anaheim. The bill is scheduled before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. — Budget bills would have to be made public 72 hours before the Legis- lature could vote to send them to the governor, under SB17.

Blakeslee is scheduled for a hearing Wednesday in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee. — Public agencies would have to disclose public officials’ salaries on their web sites under a bill drafted in response to the pay scandal in the Los Angeles County city of Bell. SB46 by Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim, would require public officials to annually file compensation disclosure forms. It is up for consideration Wednesday by the Senate Governance and Finance Com- mittees. — Lawmakers are considering a bill to cut state funding for corn-based ethanol weeks after the governor signed a law requiring the state to receive one-third of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. Only fuel that is not derived from corn would remain eligible for state grants or loans under AB523 by David Valadao, R- Hanford. Republicans question the environmental benefits of ethanol made from corn and say it hurts food supplies and price. The bill will be heard Monday in the Assembly Natur- al Resources Committee. — A so-called soda tax in AB669 would extract an extra penny per ounce of sweet drinks and bring the state $1.7 billion annually. Of that, $1.4 billion, or $233 per student, would go to coun- ties to support education and children’s health. The bill from Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel, allocates the majority of the money for classes. But physical education, healthful school meals, sports and after-school pro- grams also would get a boost. The bill will be heard Monday in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee. — A bill to require Amazon.com and other online retailers to collect taxes gets a major test Monday when the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee votes on AB155. The state estimates it loses $1.1 billion a year through uncollected ‘‘use taxes’’ from online sales. The bill, by Assembly- man Charles Calderon, D-Whittier, could force Amazon alone to collect an estimated $83 million in taxes. Sup- porters said the bill would level the playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers that already collect the tax.
