Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 lawmakers don’t get their salary or living expenses if they miss their budget deadline of June 15 each year. The measure gives the state controller the authority to judge whether revenues matched or exceeded state spending. Proposition 25, the ‘‘on- time budget act,’’ was born out of frustration with Cal- ifornia’s late budgets, which stall pay for some state workers and vendors. Chiang’s decision marks the first time the unique initiative has been put to use. Few other states have late budget problems, according to Arturo Perez of the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver. Only New York and Guam withhold pay from lawmakers if they fail to meet their budget dead- line, he said. California’s measure is different because lawmak- ers don’t get retroactive pay, Perez said. ‘‘The issue of late bud- gets is alien to most the release said. The pickup described, which had two or three tall lights stacked on top of each other, was headed eastbound on Gas Point Road, driving away from the scene. It is unknown if it is the vehicle that hit Park, but it is a vehicle of interest, the release said. The responsi- ble vehicle likely has dam- age to the right side mirror and door where it attaches to the body. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to contact the Los Molinos Creek Bridge and move north. During the next month, construction will move back and forth along the entire project limits. The bridge decks are complete, but the paving work was delayed because of weather. The bumps and rough pavement are temporary and two had been deceased for a period of time,” a sher- iff’s press release said. The bodies had no obvious indications of a cause of death, the release said. Autopsies were to be performed Tuesday in Yolo County. Deputies processed the scene with the help of criminalists from the Cali- fornia Department of Jus- tice crime lab in Redding and Chico, the release said. Home Park, the reports said. The mother of two of his children told law enforcement that he had thrown her down and choked her, the reports said. Two of the children were home during the incident. The new claims, filed June 2, repre- sent the inmate’s mother and three minor children, for whom she is guardian. Reporting unlimited civil damages, the claims state that the jail staff is neg- ligent because it failed to treat known states,’’ he said. Each day, California taxpayers save $48,603.50 by not paying lawmakers a salary and per diem. For lawmakers who earn $95,291 a year, that works out to $261 less for each day their salary is cut. For leaders of the Senate and Assembly who make $109,584, that works out to $300 per day. Most lawmakers also lose out on a $142 per diem for travel and living expenses. Chiang, whose office issues paychecks, found the Democratic package did not meet the require- ments for a balanced bud- get because portions were ‘‘miscalculated, miscount- ed or unfinished.’’ He said it committed the state to $89.8 billion in spending but provided only $87.9 billion in revenues, leaving a hole of $1.85 billion. ‘‘Part of the reason the budget didn’t balance is that they were engaged in some of the past practices that worked in earlier years but that do not work today under the new reality,’’ Chiang told The Associat- ed Press. Chiang’s analysis found much of the imbalance comes from underfunding education by $1.3 billion. Underfunding is not possi- officers Kritzer or Barn- well at the Redding CHP office at 242-3200.

That was not done in this case. The Democrats’ budget also counted on hospital fees, taxes on managed- care plans and vehicle reg- istration charges, but the Legislature never passed the bills needed to collect those revenues, Chiang said. Lawmakers said they believed that action allowed them to continue receiving paychecks. But Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the package, saying he did- n’t want to see billions more in borrowing or ques- tionable maneuvers. ‘‘The Controller has made his determination. We should all work togeth- er to pass a solid budget,’’ Brown said. Democratic lawmakers said they were disappoint- ed by the controller’s deci- sion. They said Chiang’s decision would not help budget negotiations with Republicans. ‘‘The controller is, in effect, allowing legislative Republicans to control the budget process and I believe that’s a very unfor- tunate outcome that is inconsistent with the intent of Proposition 25,’’ Assem- bly Speaker John Perez said in a statement. Perez endorsed the measure last fall. THE PASSING PARADE In our day, there were ice cream shops such as Frank’s Creamery and Red Bluff Creamery…and there were soda fountains such as the Peter Pan, plus fountains in drug stores i.e. Rexall and Brooks. But none featured a juke box and a newsstand as did Floyd’s Fountain, which was owned by Floyd and Marylou Adams and located in the northwest corner of the old Cone & Kimball building at 315 Walnut. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County When entering this splendid emporium, one perceived the counter and stools on the right, a long glass display area on the left with all the latest newspapers and magazines. The center area was taken up with white tables and chairs...and perhaps the likes of Carolyn Russell with her baby Cathy in a stroller . With a big red juke box taking center stage rear, and blaring out the latest Glen Miller, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey tunes, it follows that kids needed a place to dance, so an upstairs room was converted for dancing and many an enjoyable evening was spent therein. Floyd’s Fountain became the place to hang out…and Floyd and Marylou demonstrated the utmost restraint when handling our sometimes boisterous crowd. Of course there were Saturday night dances at the Four Mile House, the Idyllwild in Los Molinos and the Vets Hall in Red Bluff, but there you had to mingle with the adults and not able to do your particular creative thing. It was about this time when I convinced the good looking blonde Donalee Fowler to do a jitterbug routine on the stage of the Lincoln Street School. There is no record in the Daily News archives of how we were received, but upstairs in Floyd’s place we apparently held our own with other home grown talents. But...I digress. Floyd Redding Adams was born in Oklahoma in 1911 but moved to California at an early age. He was educated in San Bernardino where he learned to make ice cream. He later found his way to Red Bluff, and one fine day, while having a shake at Frank’s Creamery, the proprietor, Frank Falls, informed that Floyd was an ice cream maker, hired him on the spot. Eventually, after his marriage to Marylou, they desired a fountain of their own, and opened their memorable spot on Walnut. Years later, Floyd became an electrician and operated Adams Electric until his retirement in 1983. He died in 2004 and is survived by his wife Marylou and their two sons, John and Don. Marylou, an alert 93 year old, recalls the fountain opened in 1939 and ran successfully until 1949 when the new owner of the Cone & Kimball building wanted their space for his expanding shoe store...and that was the end of that venture. A few of us are now left to remember those good old days in the 40’s and 50’s when we were young and foolish and Floyd’s Fountain was the cat’s meow.
