Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 this fiscal year. A full mid- year budget will be pre- sented once the 2014/2015 audit is complete sometime in February, she said. The general fund fiscal year 2015/2016 budget pro- jected a total revenue of $4,446,410 with the sale tax projected to generate 58.5 percent of the total fund revenues, or $2.6 million, Miller said. The budget's projected expenditures to- tal $4,877,376. Using money from the operating reserves and general fund balance carryover from the previous year, the revenues meet the expenditures. Since fuel prices have continued to drop the city's general funds have been af- fected. The city relies on the sales tax from fuel sales at the three large travel cen- ters on South Avenue each year. Fuel sales in 2009 counted for nearly 57 per- cent of the total revenue for that year, according to the agenda report. With the committee's recommendations on how to save money these sales tax shortfalls could avoid affecting the budget. The first recommenda- tion in the committee's re- port is the reduction of 7 percent in costs for the fire, police and public works de- partments. The second recommen- dation is a half-cent in- crease in sale tax within the city. One of the least favor- able options among the residents who attended the Dec. 8 meeting was poten- tially combining police and fire dispatch services. This would eliminate the fire dis- patch center with the esti- mate savings of $258,000, according to the city coun- cil agenda report in Decem- ber. The combined dispatch persons would be crossed trained to handle both fire and police situations. Contracting out to Cal- Fire or the Tehama County Sheriff's Office for dispatch services is another option. The council will dis- cuss general fund savings options, hear public com- ments and take an action to move forward to make for a sustainable city bud- get at the Jan. 18 meeting.

DEATH NOTICES By Christine Armario The Associated Press WESTMINSTER Beneath the giant red sign illumi- nating the Asian Garden Mall in Southern California, slabs of jumbo, white squid are seared on a smoky grill. Nearby, children pluck fried potato slices off a stick and couplesdancetoVietnamese ballads. It reminds Audrey Dinh of the stories of night mar- kets her Vietnamese grand- mother used to tell her as a child, and of those the 28-year-old encounters on business trips throughout Asia. But this one is much closer to home, in the city of Westminster in Orange County, where vendors sell everything from giant prawns and coconut waffles to home curtains and flash- ing toy pinwheels. "This is what I see in Asia," Dinh said as she waited for an order of banh tom khot, a rice flour cake filled with shrimp. "It's very close to Asia." Duringthepastfiveyears, similar night markets have popped up in major cit- ies throughout the United States, a byproduct of both the nation's expanding Asian-American population —thecountry'sfastestgrow- ing racial minority, number- ing some 19.4 million — and a growing culinary curios- ity for authentic East Asian flavors. Since about 2010, night markets have opened in Chi- cago, Cleveland, the Los An- geles metro area, New York City, Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh. Several were started by young Asian-Americans who wanted to recreate the frenetic, fast-paced specta- cle of an Asian night mar- ketintheirfamilies' adopted hometowns. Not all of have remained exclusively Tai- wanese or Vietnamese: In- stead, many have evolved into a hodge-podge of cul- tures and foods reflecting their mixed communities. "It's been a key decision for us not to try and be like the ones in Taiwan any- more," said Jonny Hwang, 35, founder of the 626 Night Market in the San Gabriel Valley, about 10 miles east of Los Angeles. "We want our own identity." Night markets date back to at least the Tang dynasty in China around the year 600. By the Song dynasty in the 12th century, they had developed into sophis- ticated, well-organized cen- ters selling grilled meats, stuffed buns and dried fruit. "The Chinese had a flour- ishing commercial food scene long before Europe," said Fuchsia Dunlop, an English writer and special- ist in Chinese cuisine. Night markets have continued to proliferate throughout Asia, with one study finding 95 operat- ing on any given week in the city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. In cities like Bang- kok, street food remains the heart and soul of local cui- sine,solddayandnightfrom carts and makeshift stands. The classic Bangkok night market has evolved from catering mostly to club-go- ers looking for a late-night eat to offering real shopping opportunities for the city's large, young and relatively affluent middle class. In the U.S., the emergence of night markets — some of which attract tens of thou- sands of people — is seen by organizers as a reflection of how Asian-American com- munitieshaveassimilatedto local culture while also rein- terpreting their own. Hwang recalled how when he was a Taiwanese- American teenager grow- ing up in suburban Los An- geles, his and other families strived to fit in. "While we enjoyed our foods, we didn't really em- brace it," saidHwang, whose 626 Night Market features classic Taiwanese favorites and fusion dishes like pho tacos and ramen burgers. "I didn't force my friends to checkoutstinkytofu."These days, he said, "Asians are starting to embrace the fact that'Hey,wehavereallydeli- cious food. And other people are interested in that food.'" Some U.S. markets are a distant echo of the cheap, raucous places that in- spired them. Celebrity chef and food adventurist An- thony Bourdain is creat- ing a huge New York City market he has said will be open late and have the feel of an Asian night market, but also have prepared food stalls by celebrated chefs like April Bloomfield. Oth- ers tilt higher end, charg- ing $50 or more to enter and sample food and drinks from top local chefs. Dan- ielle Chang, author of the cookbook "Lucky Rice" — a collection of night market recipes — was born in Tai- pei and funneled a passion for Asian food into her own night market-like events, in- cluding a cocktail-themed market party in Las Vegas. "I think that the interest in Asian food ... stems from the growing awareness of Asia through the lens of food," she said. "Through travel.Throughanewgener- ation of chefs getting classi- calFrenchtrainingandthen returning to their heritage." Still, creating U.S. night markets has, in many cases, been an act of persistence. Local officials often need to be convinced of their via- bility, and vendors typically must navigate a tangle of health codes. In Westmin- ster, about 35 miles south of Los Angeles, there also was a cultural barrier to pass: Explaining to a non-Asian public why a night market should exist. "It was kind of hard for our city to under- standinthebeginning,"said Kathy Buchoz, the former mayor of Westminster and a consultant for the Asian Garden Mall's management company. "They understand farmers markets." Buchoz said officials were skeptical about how many people the market would bring in, but it quickly at- tracted 3,000 people a night each weekend. And that has been a boon for vendors like Max Nguyen and his busi- ness partner.
