extensive environmental reviews and right-of-way agreements. Antone promoted the 20- year fix as buying enough time to work with the Cal- ifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife and other agencies to see whether some types of cleanup ef- forts could be staged that would reduce the erosion impacts in the area. The 20-year fix includes a dyke along the entire seg- ment to move runoff from the area to a down drain in a safer location. "We're paying very close attention to this whole stretch of Reeds Creek Road," Antone said. Supervisor Sandy Bruce said the movement of pro- pane, cattle and school chil- dren in the area in large trucks, trailers and buses has made safety a top pri- ority. Supervisor Dennis Gar- ton was the lone vote against directing staff to a combination of a tempo- rary one-lane closure and 20-year fix, saying the pro- posals were only exacerbat- ing the problem. "I don't know what the answer is, but I'm not in fa- vor of any of it," he said. Antone said his depart- ment preferred the 20-year fix because it provided a solution for a good amount of time, impacted the least amount of private land and provided an opportunity to work with wildlife officials for future erosion control.

"We do know that with- out our veterans, America would not be the Amer- ica we know today," said Bowen, who spoke to well- attended audience. Bowen spoke of the need to support veterans and those involved in the United States' fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. "Those who defend us from these enemies must be supported," he said. "We need to serve our vet- erans as well as they serve us." Bowen said support for veterans must extend be- yond their federal benefits, which "are a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the financial and hu- man cost of war." Bowen noted a plan an- nounced Monday by the U.S. Department of Vet- erans Affairs to restruc- ture the department that has been criticized for de- layed health care. "To do right by our vet- erans, a day of speeches and parades is not enough," Bowen said. "We must provide all the help they need." The parade's grand mar- shal was Warren Flournoy, a Korean War veteran. Bowen said Flournoy served in the Battle of Cho- sin Reservoir in late No- vember and early Decem- ber in 1950. Flournoy, Bowen said, is one of the "Chosin Few," a survivor of the campaign that saw heavy losses. Linda Davis sang the national anthem at the Veterans Memorial Hall, as well as "America the Beautiful." World War II veteran Vic Dickison of Corning also was honored during the parade and celebra- tion. "He has been a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for over 67 years of his 99 years of a very ac- tive life," Bowen said. "Vic Dickison, we all love you, would you please take a bow."

LIFT FROM PAGE 1 TheAssociatedPress SAN DIEGO San Diego County must pay $3 mil- lion to the family of a her- oin addict who died of an asthma attack while detox- ing in jail, a federal jury determined. The California county and two nurses violated Daniel Sisson's civil rights, jurors found Monday. They specifically faulted the county's method of check- ing jail cells and how it trains staff to deal with inmates who are detox- ing from drug addiction, U-T San Diego reported (http://bit.ly/1sxY6Co ). Sisson's parents had sued the Sheriff's Depart- ment and the California county in U.S. District Court on various claims, including wrongful death and cruel and unusual punishment. The 21-year-old was on probation when he was ar- rested for heroin posses- sion and ordered back to the Vista jail on June 23, 2011, according to court re- cords. He was found dead in his bunk two days later. A forensic pathology ex- pert testified during trial that Sisson died of an asthma attack caused by the symptoms of heroin withdrawal. The county's lawyer, Kevin Kennedy, told ju- rors that Sisson lied about using drugs when he was booked into jail and re- fused medical treatment at one point. The family's attorney, Christopher Morris, said they hope the verdict will encourage authorities to have "a serious conversa- tion" about updating its policies and procedures for training jail staff and deputies. "More than anything, the family wants this case to be a catalyst for change," especially with respect to detoxing inmates, he said. The county's counsel said in a statement to the newspaper that it was dis- appointed in the verdict and would be "evaluating possible next steps with our clients." ASTHMA ATTACK $3M awarded a er addict dies in San Diego jail The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Four Northern California gun stores are challenging a state law barring hand- gun advertisements on windows or other places where they would be vis- ible to the public. The stores filed the lawsuit Monday in Sac- ramento federal court, claiming the 91-year- old law violates their free speech rights. They also argue that the law unfairly singles out handguns because sim- ilar ads for rifles are al- lowed. The lawsuit was filed after a gun store in Tracy was cited in Sep- tember for displaying a handgun advertisement. 91-YEAR-OLD LAW Gun stores sue over ban The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Los Ange- les taxpayers may be on the hook for $170,000 in expenses from the Made in America music festival, which expanded to the West Coast for the first time this summer. Aides for Mayor Eric Garcetti tell the Los Ange- les Times, which staged the two-day event, is required to pay a half-million of the $670,000 tab. The city will pick up the rest. Expenses stem from ser- vices such as police patrols, street closures and trash re- moval. The mayor argued Mon- day that the event provided a benefit to the city that ex- ceeded any unreimbursed expenses. Garcetti says it shows LA is capable of host- ing a huge outdoor concert. Tens of thousands at- tended the August show at downtown's Grand Park, which featured perform- ers like Kanye West, John Mayer and Weezer. The fes- tival launched in Philadel- phia in 2012. EXPENSES Made in America music festival may cost public By Scott Sonner The Associated Press RENO, NEV. A longtime Lake Tahoe lawyer said Tuesday he will give up his long legal fight for more public access to some pri- vate beaches along the lake's affluent north shore after the Nevada Supreme Court rejected his appeal. The decision came a day after the high court upheld a lower court ruling that the Incline Village General Improvement District has the right to allow beach ac- cess only to residents who lived there when the dis- trict bought the property in 1968. Attorney Steven Kroll, who lives in neighboring Crystal Bay, filed his law- suit over the restrictions in 2008. He argues that he is entitled to access because Crystal Bay merged with Incline Village in 1995 and all dues-paying members should be treated equally. The Nevada Supreme Court disagreed, primar- ily citing earlier rulings against Kroll and others by the state court in Washoe County, a federal judge in Reno, and the 9th U.S. Cir- cuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. "It feels very bad to be a second-class citizen," Kroll told The Associated Press. "But this is the end of the road on this one." Kroll said Washoe County had made it clear in approv- ing the merger between In- cline Village and Crystal Bay that the resulting dis- trict has the authority to provide facilities for pub- lic recreation. He and oth- ers had argued the district abused its authority by clos- ing the beaches. The district has "turned this precious recreational property on Lake Tahoe from the 'facility for pub- lic recreation' it was desig- nated by Washoe County to be, into a publicly financed enclave of luxury and priv- ilege," he wrote in his ap- peal. Stephen Balkenbush, a Reno lawyer representing Incline Village, wrote in his legal filing that the district was not required to provide "a general town commons as is the case with a pub- lic park." Nevada Chief Justice Mark Gibbons said in Mon- day's 7-0 ruling that the beaches were purchased with the use of public bonds paid for by residents living within the district as it was constituted in 1968. He said Kroll cited al- most no legal authority to support his argument that the former Crystal Bay Gen- eral Improvement District residents were treated un- fairly. "I've never seen a lawsuit reviewed by so many differ- ent courts and affirmed at every level," Balkenbush said Tuesday. "That's the end." NORTH SHORE Court: Private Tahoe beach rules OK The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A state- wide sting has nabbed 112 unlicensed contractors who could face criminal charges for offering home repair ser- vices in seven cities, a state board said.

I hadn't seen him since he was in Sister's Hospital four years ago. He had been in an auto accident and the doctors had just taken off his leg. His folks lived elsewhere and losing his leg was like the end of the world for a young boy alone in a hospital bed. I took along Melody who was two years old at the time, and we visited him several times thereafter. Just before he was released from the hospital, I asked Skeet Flournoy to visit him to show him how little he was handicapped by a similar loss when Skeet lost his leg to a land mine on the beaches of Italy during WWII. We had a fine visit. The young man graduates next June as a minister of theAssembly of God. He stands up straight and does not walk with a limp. He told me how much it meant to him to have Skeet visit him while in the hospital. The rest of the day was brighter because of the young man's visit … The Red Bluff football team may not play as good a game as the San Francisco 49ers, but it's a lot more fun watching them win a game then it is to watch the 49ers lose one. … Solomon of bible fame was so wise that he knew what to do when two mothers claimed the same child. We have some problems today that could use someone of Solomon's caliber. We are told that in order to keep our country operating successfully, there can be no more inflation. Higher wages each year are supposedly causing inflation and also pricing us out of the steel export business. But the Steel Companies are told to settle the strike with their union. But the Union will not lower their demands. Come on, Solomon, what did they do in a case like this in your time? … Got a nice Christmas card in the mail today and was surprised when I opened it to see that it was from a National Finance company which stated I was entitled to apply for a loan of $1,100.00. Then, thinking I might not know what to do with the money, the card advised that I might buy Christmas gifts, take care of seasonal bills, pay down old bills and get a fresh start. Nothing was said of how long the fresh start would last after I started paying back the loan. … Another letter suggested that I install a swimming pool. It added that a pool increases your prestige and acts as a symbol of your own success. However, how could anything add to my prestige and wellbeing after I bowled the highest score at the bowling alley for the entire week!
