The bill was previously passed in the state Senate 21-14. Brown spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said he has not yet taken a posi- tion on it. Assemblywoman Lo- rena Gonzalez, D-San Di- ego, proposed that the state phase in time-and-a-half pay for farm laborers who exceed eight hours in one day by 2022 on large farms and by 2025 for farms with 25 or fewer employees. In addition to people who physically harvest the fields and operate machin- ery, the bill will cover ranch hands and irrigators. "We're asking for equality eventually. It starts today, however," Gonzalez said. Opponents argue the seasonal nature of farm work does not lend itself to overtime. They said the added costs will require employers to cut workers' hours, ultimately hurting hundreds of thousands of farmworkers in California. Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Visalia, said many workers who are con- cerned about looming cuts have been silent on the is- sue "because they are busy back home working." "This bill ultimately will hurt those that it claims to want to help, specifically it's going to devastate the working families of our farming communities," said Mathis, vice chair of the As- sembly agriculture commit- tee. The Assembly rejected the proposal in June, when eight Democrats opposed it and another six refused to vote. In what Gonzalez has described as an unprece- dented move to revive the bill, she worked around the Legislature's rules and re- inserted the proposal in an- other bill, angering Repub- licans who objected to the breach in procedure. Gonzalez waged a social media campaign to pres- sure her Democratic col- leagues to back AB1066; agreed to compromises to win votes, including giving small farms an extra three years to pay more overtime; and led a squad of Demo- cratic allies in a 24-hour fast paying homage to the weekslong fast that legend- ary farmworker activist Ce- sar Chavez staged when the "Salad Bowl" strike of 1970 initially failed. Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, D-Kingsburg, a Central Valley physi- cian said he regularly sees "farmworkers who I was struggling to keep alive because the hours are too long in the brutal sun." "It is time to have equal overtime protections in all workplaces," Arambula said. Brown, currently serv- ing in an unprecedented fourth term as California governor, first ran for the job on the heels of the na- tion's largest agricultural labor strike. Thousands of workers walked off farms in 1970, picketing for farm owners to recognize and negotiate fair labor condi- tions with the union that Chavez had established nearly a decade earlier. The strike fizzled with no legislative accomplish- ments under former Repub- lican Gov. Ronald Reagan. The movement came alive again with Brown's elec- tion to the governor's of- fice in 1974. Last week, tensions flared when roughly 300 farmworkers and union leaders who had planned to join a rally learned that Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, had postponed the vote with- out explanation. About 100 people congregated outside Rendon's office, chanted "overtime," and sang "De Colores," a Mexican folk song that was a staple at strikes and union meetings when Chavez led the UFW. California lawmakers passed a similar bill in 2010 that would have deleted the exemption of agricul- tural employees from over- time requirements. Former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it. Bill FROM PAGE 1 specialist and one records manager. "This records depart- ment completed about 7,100 written reports and thousands of citations last year," Sanders said. "A de- cade ago, that would have been handled by four em- ployees. So, we are 75 per- cent better off than a de- cade ago and 50 percent better than yesterday." With the loss of staff, Sanders said the depart- ment has been lucky to have volunteers step in and help out with the du- ties, particularly two out- standing individuals in Bev Morris, who has been working in the office as a Volunteers In Police Ser- vice member for three and a half years, and Kathy En- gel, the department's for- mer records manager who has been volunteering for the last six months. The addition of Levin- dofske, who tested for the position twice, will allow the department to "build redundancy and have backups," which means there won't be as much worry about sending docu- ments to the courthouse. It will be the first time since 2008-2009 that the front counter will be open dur- ing business hours, Sand- ers said. The extra manpower will give the department a chance to focus on intelli- gence-led policing, mean- ing it can use data and crime analysis informa- tion for patrol division so officers can patrol in a way that benefits the depart- ment and the community, Sanders said. Levindofske, a 2011 Red Bluff High School gradu- ate, has strong ties to law enforcement as the daugh- ter of Tehama County Sheriff's Sgt. Mark Levin- dofske and the niece of re- tired Tehama County Sher- iff's Capt. Danny Rabalais. Levindofske was a soc- cer player for 14 years dur- ing which she set a record at Red Bluff High School for the most goals scored that stands today at 32 goals. She worked most re- cently as on-call staff for the Tehama County Proba- tion Department. She has continued her love of soc- cer with her work as both a youth coach and referee.

The exact numbers have not been discussed as far as how the district might be able to help, but there are possibilities of a bond or grant money to contrib- ute, Bronze said. In addition to the ben- efits the proposed lights have for the players, Bronze said lighting will bring more people to the town from adjoining areas for tournaments who will patronize Red Bluff restau- rants, stores, lodging and other services. This is the second proj- ect the Parks and Recre- ation Commission has sup- ported and worked on and Martin said he is excited about the plans and be- lieves the project is a good and needed thing.

DR.DONALDYOUNG Don Young, DDS passed away the morning of August 5, 2016 in Yreka, with his beloved children, son Todd Young and daughter Wendy Marto at his side. He was 80 years old. Whoever was connected with Don through dentistry, re- ligion, volunteer work, or sports, found him to be a soft spoken, humble, witty, warm, loyal, adventurous friend. He was a Seventh-day Adventist since childhood, who believed and practiced that physical and spiritual health go hand in hand. He was a competitive, active participant in many sports, all year long. Up until three months be- fore his passing from complications of pneumonia, Don was dune buggying on the beaches of Coos Bay, Oregon, with his brother, Ron. Don was actively involved in his faith. As a devout Ad- ventist, he went on a mission four years ago, (as he had often done before), to help those impoverished, with dental needs. This time he visited Nairobi, Kenya, with his close cousin and friend, Daryl Wheeler, also a dentist. Don fell in love with the country. Don practiced dentistry for 50 years. His Red Bluff pa- tients fondly remember their favorite dentist, who they say would cut out even the smallest articles from the Dai- ly News if their name was in it, and would mail it to them, with a kind note. Don generously volunteered his free time. He was past president of Northern California Dental Society, He was awarded The Legion of Honor by the Red Bluff Kiwanis Club for 40 years of continued active service. He was twice president of Tehama County United Way. He was a regular blood donor, as he felt strongly about providing blood for those in need. Don was also actively involved with his children and grandchildren, who he deeply loved, appreciated and en- joyed. And he was deeply loved, and shall be greatly missed by son Todd Young, DDS and Todd's wife Ellen and their children, Kristi and Eric; daughter Wendy Marto, RN and her children, Katie, Dylan, and Carly; and Don's wife De- nise. He leaves behind many family members and friends who loved him dearly, and shall remember him fondly. Don was preceded in death by his beloved wife Sharon, who he met in grade school, at Rogue Valley Academy. The coupled were married in July, 1959 in Crescent City. Sharon passed March 25, 1990, at age 50. Don was also preceded in death by his father Robert Alvin Young, and mother, Dorothy Elizabeth Woolever. Don's life will be celebrated Saturday, September 17, 3 p.m., at the Palo Cedro Seventh-day Adventist Church, 22585 Silverlode Lane, Palo Cedro. Hawaiian print or bright colors in dress attire are requested in honor of Don. Flowers are welcome, as are donations to Madrone Hospice House, 255 Collier Circle, Yreka, Ca. 96097, to add bird feeders outside of the patients windows. In lov- ing memory of Don.

As you may recall, during our last episode two years ago, the noble Editor (at that time Jim McGiffin) and this writer engaged in some petty bickering over censorship of this column…the result being that I went back to being a butcher(or rather a butcher's son) and Editor McGiffin soon went north. A few mo- ments with his successor, Editor Snyder, convinced me the Dai- ly News could and would continue without my guidance (and money…this is a paid advertisement, you know) . Therefore I stumbled out into the bright afternoon sunshine fighting back tears… and feeling as though, once again, I had been kicked out of the Red Bluff High School Block R Society. However, Editor Snyder departed the paper and a kindly man, wrapped in a business suit, bestowed blessings on yours truly, and once again I am in print. If you sniff and reply, "So what?", at least think how happy this will make my mother. … Regarding the recent election, how could so many of my friends vote for such diverse candidates? Amazing!It got so that every time one would say, "What do you think about the coming elec- tions?", that I, trying to maintain my non-partisan image, would carefully seek out my friend's preference, and then, if not in agreement, would say something like, "Well, it's quite obvious the country needs vigorous leadership etc." The recipient would then leave thinking he or she had just conversed with a right or left thinker …or at a least a thinker, but they would be wrong. A political thinker I am not. I feel concern about the "way things are going" but would be reluctant to campaign in behalf of anyone. When my Birch friends get me momentarily shook up with their reams of documents concerning communist takeover of our government, I take a horse ride and conclude that after all these years, since the first Communist decision to overthrow the Capitalistic world, I am still able to ride my own horse. This may be sidestepping the issue (or rather single-footing, for we ride American Saddlebreds) but I am a reasonably happy man that smiles more than he frowns. … Last week a well-written Letter to The Editor from a 12 year old Christian lad stated that I was all wet when I discussed the lack of participation of young people in the church. He said that everythingwas great and thriving in the Youth for Christ set. That may be, but statistics furnished by the Tehama County Library indicate that only about one third of the community's under 20 group has any church affiliation whatsoever…let alone tend church regularly. As I see it, the men with white collars in black garb are not getting their job done. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
