The presentation came during All About Path and fundraiser and information evening Friday at Bethel Assembly of God in Red Bluff. WALNUT Continued from page 1A Jessie Woods, of Gold Exchange, said she would rather the council do something than nothing because of the lack of proper lighting in the area. Her business has sustained attempted rob- beries in the past two years. “It’s a matter of safety not just beau- tification,” she said. Downtown business owner John Gumm said if the city is going to replace the lights, it must put in deco- rative lights. In a 1999 Downtown Revitalization Plan it was expressed that the area should have decorative lighting to sustain its historical appeal and attract visitors. Though the plan shows a desire to CUTS Continued from page 1A have to make some of the disastrous cuts our neigh- bors are going to be making, but next year, it’s going to be tough.” The hardest hits have come from the state, in which sales tax revenues have dropped an estimated 17 to percent — more than anyone prepared for.

In addition to staff from Berrendos and the Tehama County Department of Education, Johnson said she was glad to have help from the community, including Tehama Family Fitness Cen- ter and members of the Berrendos Booster Club.

The wait staff are about as friendly as you’ll find anywhere. They fuss over you if they don’t recognize you, and treat you like fami- ly if they do. For this round, I chose a bacon and cheddar cheese omelet with home fries and sourdough toast. The Valeigh’s omelet was substantial, three eggs I believe, and of the light and fluffy persuasion; folded just so over the bacon and ched- dar. No brown on the out- side. The bacon was well cooked and crisp, not limp or fatty; evidently added to the omelet at the last minute. The home fries were plain, large-diced potatoes. They tasted almost baked, with each piece crisp outside but fluffy inside. The serving was large, and I couldn’t fin- ish them. The sourdough toast slices were big and not overbuttered. Great meal, at a very rea- sonable price. At Mill Creek Restaurant in Los Molinos two morn- ings later, I ordered the same exact meal. Nine local guys, retirees I supposed, were gathered at three tables talking over cof- fee; likely a morning ritual. The place had been fresh- ened up since had last eaten have decorative lighting, it does not specify the economic impacts decora- tive lights would have in downtown, Councilman Wayne Brown said. Previous council members from that decade had agreed to accept the revitalization plan that was created by a consulting firm on behalf of the Down- town Business Association. Because of that precedence, Coun- cilman Wayne Brown motioned to go with the decorative lights. The majori- ty of the council agreed in a 4-1 vote. Councilman Jim Byrne voted against the project. He wants the light- ing system to be fixed, not replaced, and only the four nonfunctioning lights should be dealt with, not all of them, he said. Also, the project should have been completed three to four years ago when the lights first went out. License Fees, has benefited from a temporary increase that expires in June. Locally, property taxes look to drop another $3 mil- lion this year, or about 5 per- cent, County Assessor Mark Colombo said. By next year, Colombo expects the decline to have stabilized at a level compa- rable to six or seven years ago, he said. Social Services, reduced statewide, have seen an increased demand of 17 per- cent to 23 percent, Goodwin Barthel said the lights are beyond fixing, as the system is from the 1930s and is extremely old. The break in the system is at several locations that can- not be located, so all lights have to be replaced. Even though the LED option was not chosen, staff will look for LED bulbs for the decorative light fixtures and may have already identified a ven- dor, City Manager Martin Nichols said. If the cost is significantly more than the estimated $146,000, staff would come back to the council.

California’s deficit is expected to grow to $35 bil- lion during the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year, and the county’s interest revenue also is down. All of this points to fur- ther reductions in services. “The services that we have provided in the past, as the years go on, will be less and less,” Supervisor George Russell said. It means longer response times for sheriff deputies and the fire department, Russell said. Other, non- tion to friends and family, quite often various preschool programs and Tehama Adult Learning Center Stu- dents, who previously played, come back to watch, Johnson said. “It’s such a positive event to bring the county together,” said Berrendos Principal Teresa Cottier. “It helps all the kids to work together for a common goal. For our middle school students it helps bridge the gap of understanding.” Cottier said her students look for- ward to the event every year. “Jody Johnson really deserves the credit for this event,” Cottier said. “She puts so much time and energy into putting the event together.” there. New owners took over a year ago. My meal arrived very quickly. The Mill Creek’s omelet was of the thin vari- ety, with a more substantial eggy taste in every bite. Thin omelets are my preference. This one was huge. The bacon inside was crispy, the cheddar cheese was melted but not overly so. I expected Mill Creek’s omelet might be greasy, but it was not noticeably so. The home fried potatoes were red potatoes with skins, pan fried along with onions and diced peppers, a cut above the taters at Valeigh’s. The sourdough toast was on a par with Valeigh’s. Meal-to-meal, I have to give the nod to Mill Creek. If you’re a fluffy-lover, you might be happier at Valeigh’s and save a little, to boot. But those home fries at Mill Creek were among the best I’ve ever had. Buffet vs Cafe If you’re in search of a hearty, well-prepared and delicious start to your day, you are well served at both ends of Tehama County by Rolling Hills Casino in Corning and Countryside Cafe in Red Bluff. I’m normally not a fan of buffet food for break- fast. But Rolling Hills does it perfectly, with crispy, warm bacon, crunchy potatoes and eggs with runny yolks — emergency services also will likely see greater delays. Still, Russell said he would be reluctant to issue further layoffs if the county can find other ways to cut back and the county is better off than other entities. “Relatively speaking, I think our county is doing better than most,” he said. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailynew s.com. Mary Stevens of Red Bluff is one of many who appreciate all of Johnson’s efforts. “I think it’s just great,” Stevens said. “It makes them realize they’re apart of something, and just look at the smiles on their faces. It’s nice to see all the kids from all over that help with this.” Stevens said she was there to sup- port her granddaughter, Morgan Evans, who is a student at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood. “My granddaughter looks forward to this event every year,” Stevens said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527- 2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. even on the eggs bene- dict. With a huge selection to choose from, including an omelette station and healthier items, the buffet offers an impressive and talented line-up. I wasn’t surprised the two-eggs, bacon and country potatoes at Coun- tryside Cafe were excel- lent, I’ve come to expect excellence after several lunches at the Washing- ton Street eatery. The eggs were cooked just as ordered, the bacon was a bit thicker than the buffet’s but every bit as crispy and the potatoes were some of the best I’ve eaten — lightly crisped on the outside and tender on the inside. What did surprise me was the breakfast menu offered by Countryside. It was packed with choices and they all sounded wonderful — including a few lighter vegetarian options. The difference maker for me, though, was the atmosphere. Countryside is a place I could sit for hours with a good book and cup of coffee. Of course, at Rolling Hills I could hit the jackpot and play a round of golf — and the dining area is certainly pleasant enough. But my pick goes to Countryside in this close first round matchup. Southtown Showdown This week it was a Corn- ing slugfest, with the Cozy Cow versus the Iron Skillet. At the Iron Skillet, in the Petro truck stop on South Avenue in Corning, I had the Corned Beef Hash Skillet — layers of hashbrowns with corned beef hash on top and eggs any way you like them on the very top, all in a skil- let. On the side you get bis- cuits or toast, all for $7.79. I chose scrambled eggs and they were cooked just right — softly scrambled — and the biscuit was good. At the Cozy Cow, on Solano Street in Corning, I chose to go with a two-egg ham and cheese omelet with biscuits and country pota- toes on the side for $7.25. The omelet had the per- fect amount of cheese — covering the meat, but not oozing out the side — and the biscuit was light and fluffy, just like Mom’s. For 50 cents more, you can get a three-egg omelet. The country potatoes did- n’t have bell peppers, like some restaurants, but that was fine with me. They had really good flavor, good color and a hint of crunchi- ness, but not to the point of being too hard. So, between the lower price and slightly better fla- vor, congratulations Cozy Cow. You are moving for- ward in the bracket.
