POLICELOGS Brown said she com- mended the STARS vol- unteers for their time, tal- ent and for wanting to give back to their community. "It has been my pleasure to be a volunteer," Watson said. "It's been a real joy and a whole new life for me. I never dreamed I'd be here 20 years, but it has gone by so fast." Watson first was as- signed to work in the courthouse and when the STARS office was moved to Frontier Village she helped with the move and wound up staying at the STARS office helping with paper- work among other things, she said. Over her time, she has donated more than 10,000 hours to the com- munity. Being a part of STARS has been something Wat- son enjoys and the mem- bers work well together, even if they do tease each other sometimes, she said. One of the members who patrolled in the Ran- cho Tehama area, where "they weren't really par- ticular about fences," was always herding cows, Wat- son said. The running joke to him became "Did you herd your cows in to- day?" Ranging from their late 50s on up to Watson, who is 93, the group of about 40- 45 people has been a real asset, Hencratt said. They have saved the county a lot of money with their talents, especially Joe Hickerson who has done all the radio work, saving the county thousands. The group relies heavily on fundraisers, such as to- day's Tehama County Sher- iff's Department Volun- teer Program Crab Feed at the Tehama District Fair- ground. Doors open at 5 p.m. with dinner set to be- gin at 6 p.m. Cost is $50 per person and Chad Bushnell and Matthew Songmaker are scheduled to perform.

The program also celebrated 20 years of service on Friday. By Matthew Daly The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Na- tional Park Service is cel- ebrating its 100th anniver- sary this year, but the sys- tem faces a multibillion dollar maintenance back- log that officials say is no cause for rejoicing. Long-delayed projects range from replacing wa- ter works at the Grand Canyon to making sure the Jefferson Memorial doesn't sink into the Tidal Basin to improving roads at Yo- semite National Park. The bill for deferred work is nearly $12 bil- lion nationwide — a $440 million increase over last year. About half the total is for road work. The re- mainder is for buildings, campgrounds, trails and infrastructure such as wa- ter systems and wastewa- ter treatment. Hoping to take advan- tage of the Park Service's August centennial, Pres- ident Barack Obama has proposed spending $900 million over three years to reduce the backlog, with another $300 million tar- geted for restoration proj- ects. Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said the annual bill for maintain- ing America's national parks is nearly twice as much as appropriated by Congress, with expenses growing every year. Still, Jarvis said he is encouraged that Con- gress seems to be getting the message after years of complaints. Lawmakers approved $547 million for mainte- nance in the current bud- get year, a $118 million in- crease over last year. The figure includes spending in the agency' budget and in the five-year transpor- tation law Congress ap- proved in December. "We have a lot yet to do, but I think everything is moving in the right direc- tion," Jarvis said Friday, adding: "Congress has pitched in." The Park Service also hopes to expand a Cen- tennial Challenge project that enables the agency to leverage private contri- butions to complete im- portant projects that im- prove visitor services in the parks, Jarvis said. Con- gress provided $15 mil- lion for projects this year that will be matched by almost $33 million from more than 90 park part- ners, Jarvis said. The centennial proj- ect includes $4 million to support the "Every Kid in a Park" program that pro- vides opportunities for children, especially 4th graders, to experience na- tional parks. Most of the nation's 409 park sites have a piece of the maintenance backlog. Alcatraz, the former fed- eral prison in California, has crumbling walls and deteriorating windows. Mammoth Cave in Ken- tucky needs to have dirt trails replaced for safety. And a historic hotel at Montana's Glacier Na- tional Park needs a new fire sprinkler system and other work. "Failure to re- habilitate this building will pose serious health and life safety threats to park visitors and park and concession employees," the Park Service said in a re- port to Congress detailing its budget requests. Emily Douce, a lobby- ist for the National Parks Conservation Associa- tion, a nonprofit advocacy group, said spending in- creases approved by Con- gress "will add up to vital improvements for park vis- itors across the country." Still, lawmakers can do more, Douce said. "Congress can ensure our parks are better pre- pared for another century by dedicating significant funding for the Centen- nial Challenge program so it can continue to success- fully attract outside funds that will help operate and maintain our parks," she said.
