The popular festival is also renting mist machines and handing out sunscreen around a carnival area on the Willamette River wa- terfront. "We're telling people, 'Be- ware,'" Jarvis said. "It's go- ing to be tough." The severity of the heat wave in the forecast is also putting Southwest desert ar- eas under an excessive heat warning. The life-threaten- ing heat is expected Friday morning through Sunday night, from southern Ne- vada including Las Vegas, uptoDeathValleyanddesert sections of San Bernardino County along the California border and over to Arizona's Lake Havasu and the Phoe- nix area, according to the weather service. The dangerously hot tem- peratures will peak Satur- day, with highs between 105 and 110 in Sin City, 111 to 118 in Phoenix and 115 to 121 in Death Valley. Phoenix's parks and rec- reation department is pre- paring for the heat by hav- ing rangers out during peak times at popular locations, like the Echo Canyon Recre- ation Area and South Moun- tain Park. The city oversees nearly 200 miles of trails. "That way a ranger can maybe spot a person that needs water or help them make the decision on whether it's safe to hike or not," said Gregg Bach, a de- partment spokesman. National Weather Service Meteorologist Clay Morgan said the heat impact level, which considers the temper- ature and duration of such soaring degrees, prompted the warning. Gradual tem- peratures help the body get acclimated, so a sudden up- swing and a steep climb in a short period can exacer- bate health risks and the potential for heat exhaus- tion, stroke and even death. It's a particular concern in Las Vegas, which faced its firsttriple-digitdaythisyear on Wednesday, a week later than average, and had highs in mid-May swinging from 99 to 75 in a matter of days. "Thiswasalittlebitlatein theyearfor20-degreeswings like that," Morgan said. This also comes on the heels of a toasty 2015. June 2015 in Las Vegas was re- corded as the hottest ever for the month. The valley's overall average tempera- ture for the year was 71.8 degrees, just shy of topping the record set at 72 degrees in 2014. Though the Old Farmer's Almanac has already pre- dicted above-normal tem- peratures for most of the country this summer, Mor- gan said it's too early to call any trends yet. "It's a brief, transitory high-pressure ridge (build- ing from the west) and has little or nothing to do with the next 90 days," Morgan said.

Tehama County Supervi- sors receive $1,045 a month, which was set in 1989 at the 1986 rate, Chief Adminis- trator Bill Goodwin said. Three times in recent his- tory there has been an at- tempt to take a concept to the voters to change that, but none of them have passed. "This does put us, as a base salary, the least in the state," Goodwin said. One man suggested the salary be a certain percent- age of the median income of the county residents. "The decisions you make affect that," the man said of the median income. "I would hope you would want to see it go up." Sheriff's Department Animal Regulation Offi- cer Amanda Mesa said the supervisors do deserve a raise, but past proposals have been unrealistic. A suggestion was made to tie the salary to the Memoran- dum of Understanding for county employees. Super- visors should decide what they are willing to give the union-represented employ- ees and then take it to vote. "Get the unions behind you," Mesa said. "If you were fair, they'd be more than willing to give back (in support)." Resident Tom Mohler said past attempts were unrealistic and rather than try for an all or nothing ap- proach, supervisors should ask for $500-$1,000. One of his main issues with a bal- lot measure is that it would affect the charter and po- tentially take the power over the supervisor com- pensation from the people. Resident June Cooper said part of the problem was that the area was not the State of Jefferson yet and if it were, there would be less government. She also questioned the amount of time spent in duties as a supervisor. All board members said they spent between 40 and 60 hours a week on meet- ings, reading for the meet- ing, traveling out of county and various other tasks. It's enough that a person can't keep up a business or pay someone to do the work for them, and more hours than most employers would be willing to let someone have off, Supervisor Steve Cham- blin said. "I thought I would take a 50 percent hit in busi- ness, but it's actually 80 percent," Chamblin said. "It also takes from fam- ily time when you go to a restaurant for Thanksgiv- ing dinner and end up in a 45-minute conversation." Supervisor Candy Carl- son said she has had to pretty much put her busi- ness on hold and Bundy said the number of hours was why he quit after 12 years the first time he served. "I enjoy the job, and once in a while someone says you're doing something right, but I recognized at an average of 60 hours a week it devastated my home life," Bundy said. One woman said super- visors should balance the county budget and use any surplus above the reserves toward their pay. Other ideas included adopting a set percentage of a superior court judge's sal- ary, a percentage of the me- dian income or a board set amount for future increases with anything greater re- quiring a vote of the people. A second meeting will be held for public input at 6 p.m. Monday, June 6, at the Corning Veterans Me- morial Hall, 1620 Solano St. Those unable to attend either meeting will have a chance to comment at a su- pervisor meeting as the is- sue will have to come back to the board for a vote prior to putting a measure on the ballot. There is a July 22 dead- line for putting a measure on the November ballot. Input FROM PAGE 1 Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin writes down ideas for increasing supervisor compensation.
