She started participating in ro- deo in seventh grade when her dad's friend talked her into giving it a try, Smith said. "I enjoy it," Smith said of Red Bluff's competition. "It's a good rodeo because it prepares you for state. There's three other dis- tricts here and it's good to mingle with the other ar- eas." Michelle Woolbert, the 2013 Corning Jr. Rodeo Queen who lives in Los Mo- linos, said she loves having a big event that's in her own backyard. Woolbert is in her fourth year of com- peting in high school ro- deo for district one. She participated in barrel rac- ing, pole bending, goat ty- ing and breakaway roping. "It's always so fun be- cause it's big and you get to see your competition for state," Woolbert said. District 2 President Marco Luna said his group brought about 80-90 con- testants. He likes that the event is a bigger rodeo and has two arenas, but also that even though the weather's bad the compet- itors still have good ground because it's inside. "It's a great compe- tition," Luna said. "The best cowboys in California compete for state or chal- lenge of the champions and they're all competing for the finals in Bishop in June. It's a good idea to compete (in Red Bluff) so you can see who you are going to go against."

Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 sons for a number of years, had nothing but praise for Meadows and the rest of the group putting on the show. Ireland's son Nathan is 18 and Ventimiglia's son Max is 16. "I love it," Ventimiglia said. "It's what started his passion. His life now is about roping. It's built a community for him here and in Los Molinos. What it's done is he has a bond and a whole community. It also helps him keep con- nected." Max knows people all over town thanks to the special rodeo event, Ven- timiglia said. "It opens doors that don't usually open to our kids," Ireland said. "The kids that mentor them are amaz- ing. They come thank me for bringing my son. This event makes them feel spe- cial. Makes them feel like a typical kid." Kelly Satran from An- derson brought her daugh- ter Jessie Say, 7, for the first time. "It's really good," Satran said. "She's having a blast." District 1 contestant Mi- kayla Moore of Red Bluff was helping out at the pole bending station, where Say started. She's been assist- ing with the event for three years. "It's really awesome get- ting to experience these kids coming out and get- ting exposed to our life- style," Moore said. Beth Glenn came to watch her grandsons Aaron Parker, 15, and Brayden Parker, 10, of Red Bluff. While Aaron had come be- fore when he was three, it's the first time for Brayden, she said. "Brayden has been wait- ing to get to do this," Glenn said. "This year he was fi- nally able to." Asked what his favor- ite part of the event was, Brayden said it was a great event and he did really well at riding the bulls. Special FROM PAGE 1 Reform advocates warn that failing to address un- funded liabilities will ulti- mately require higher taxes or cuts in other govern- ment services so the state can pay for its obligations to retired workers. "They're very big, big- ger than ever, and the cost is very high," said David Crane, a Stanford public policy professor who was an adviser to former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The state has promised an estimated $72 million in health care benefits for its current and future retir- ees, an amount that will in- crease to more than $300 billion over the next three decades, according to the governor's Department of Finance. The bill for retiree health care has historically been paid year-by-year, about $2 billion in the proposed 2016-17 budget. Brown pro- poses prefunding bene- fits similar to the way the state pays for pensions — by paying into a trust fund that accrues investment re- turns over time, reducing the amount of money that taxpayers must contribute in the future. In negotiations with pub- lic-employee unions, he's asking state workers to pay into a fund through a de- duction on their paychecks. The state would pay an equal amount. "Over the next three de- cades we'd have enough money to basically elimi- nate that unfunded liability going forward," Finance Di- rector Michael Cohen told the California Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday. Brown's budget proposal includes $350 million for pay raises that could be used as a bargaining chip in labor negotiations. The state is actively negotiating with four of its 21 bargain- ing units, including correc- tions officers, firefighters, scientists and maintenance workers. Talks with 15 oth- ers open this year. The governor points to an agreement last year with state engineers as a model he'll pursue with other bar- gaining units. Engineers agreed to pay an escalat- ing portion of their pay- check toward their future health care benefits, even- tually reaching 2 percent of salary, matched by the state. "The employees would not be too thrilled with pay- ing the state's bill" for re- tirement, but the agreement on the whole was viewed as acceptable, said Bruce Blan- ning, executive director of Professional Engineers in California Government, the union that reached the deal. The three-year deal in- cluded pay raises of 5 per- cent and 2 percent, he said, and there's a chance to re- negotiate before the health contributions are fully phased in by 2019. Prefunding health care can help protect the bene- fits, but asking employees to contribute is part of the give-and-take of collective bargaining, said David Lowe, chairman of Cali- fornians for Retirement Security, a coalition of public-employee unions, their members and retir- ees that has fought to pre- serve the current pension system. "That's a legitimate way to ensure that the benefits get funded into the future," Lowe said. "It's just a ques- tion of figuring out how much the employees are willing to pay ... and bar- gaining it." With his focus on tack- ling health care liabilities, Brown has shown little in- terest in further changes to the pension systems. Pension reforms adopted in 2012 reduced liabilities in CalPERS by capping pay- ments at $132,120 a year, in- creasing the retirement age by two years for most new employees, boosting worker contributions and reducing abuses of the system. Two years later the Legislature increased contributions by teachers, employers and the state to the teacher retire- ment system, narrowing the gap between revenue and anticipated costs. However, liabilities re- main. As of June 2014, the two main pension systems had accrued $116 billion in unfunded liabilities on top of the money owed for health care benefits. "We can see from where the numbers are going how it's going to crowd out ed- ucation and all the other California services, and it's ultimately unsustainable," said Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable. "The governor has to address it now and he's been clear that he's go- ing to try to do that."
