Outstanding tire. Running a set of 285/75/R18 on a 2009 F150 and could not be happier. I spend 2hrs a day driving these on pavement to and from work in a rural area in northern Ontario Canada in all types of weather and never had a issue. This set has been driven into the ground with over 80,000km on them which is incredible for a MT. Can't say enough about this great tire.

They wear out too fast for a diesel. I have 1/3 of tread remaining after only 10k. Great in the mud/snow. Low tire noise. They are squirmy at highway speeds for a 3/4 ton truck.

2010 Census: Indiana Approaches Its 2000 Mail Participation Rate
Release Information
As of Friday, April 16, Indiana is just two percentage points away from matching the mail participation rate it achieved in the 2000 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. New rates released today show that 74 percent of Indianans have mailed back their forms so far, compared with 76 percent in 2000. The nation as a whole -- at 69 percent -- is still three percentage points away from matching the mail response rate achieved in 2000 (72 percent).
A number of counties and cities across the country have already matched or exceeded their Census 2000 rates (see: http://www.census.gov/2010census/news/xls/match_surpassed_4-16.xls for the full list).
"If you mail back your 2010 Census today you can ensure that your household is counted," U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves said. Households that normally pick up their mail from a post office box are already slated for in-person follow-up from census workers.
The rates for all states, counties, places, towns and townships are updated each afternoon through April 23 at 4:00 p.m. on the Take 10 Challenge Map (http://www.census.gov/2010census/take10map/). A final rate will be announced May 3.
The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Census data are used to apportion congressional seats to states, to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to tribal, state and local governments each year and to make decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census form is one of the shortest in U.S. history, consisting of 10 questions, taking about 10 minutes to complete. Strict confidentiality laws protect the respondents and the information they provide.

Hopefully this time around proper support for newer GTK is in place, and it won't eat 100% CPU on startup and will actually shut down on my box... Still I think I'll give it a try.
Phoronix: Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 For Linux
Adobe has released an update for their Acrobat Reader product on Linux and SPARC Solaris.

I have followed your instructions on getting the HTML rendering working but nothing seems to fix it. The file in question already resides in the default directory /usr/lib64/xulrunner-184.108.40.206 but adobe does not seem to recognise this. I have even copied to a different directory and adobe accepted that it is there but still refuses to use it on start up. Is there something i have missed?
I am not too sure about your problem, but it could either be a corrupted file, or it could be a problem related to x86_64 architecture. Take this with a grain of salt, but just wanted to help.
Well, just installed it and runs flawlessly, fast, no excessive CPU usage, no problems when closing the program either. And for a 32-bit program, it works pretty much flawlessly on my 64-bit Fedora 7 installation.
Version 8.1.1 is already available on www.debian-multimedia.org repositories.

Helianthus add structure to the summer border. Performs right thru August when other perennials rest. Plants are carefree in full sun. Finches flock to the dry seed heads.
Prefers average, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Well drained soil is good for overwintering, but give Helianthus a good soaking if August begins to overpower. Can be divided in spring every 3-4 years. Cut back by one-half in early to midsummer to prevent staking.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. Learn More

I was extremely excited about this camera, as I had been wanting one for months. I was a little disappointed when I received the bundle and found that the other two "lenses" are generic off brands caps of some sort that you place on the end of the Canon lens end and it is supposed to enhance the ability of the canon lens. I believed I would be receiving two additional lenses not ones that screwed onto the lens. Other than that, the camera itself is perfect, brand new condition and the other items are great. I'm new to this particular camera so I haven't used it much to date. More to learn in the near future.
My first "real" camera, and I love it. I just got it yesterday, and I've already taken some great shots using the auto setting. Can't wait to learn more about it. I probably will want to upgrade to a better lens someday, but for a beginner, it's a perfect set-up. Only complaint is the strap; decided to use an old "quick release" strap we already had rather than this one, which has to be threaded through. but overall, well worth the money.
would never buy this package here or anywhere else...camera is terrific... but the other pieces...such as the 2 -58 mm lens are junk...not fitted to this camera but must screw onto lens...not on my expensive camera !!! check out these packages before buying...for this price it's possible to find 2 good lens and exact camera on other "big box store" sites... add in price of good bag and still under this price !!!

Which is the generally agreed upon definition of hipster. (disclosure: I love ramy's designs, which will make everyone I am directing this post at to roll their eyes and say "of course you are."

Comments: So far so good. a little smaller in the hand than i'm used to but by keeping the lanyard hooked on a belt loop they've been there when I need them. The braid cutter is a little awkward but very sharp. Space saver for sure. I like 'em so far. seem sturdier than some of the other name brand pliers on my boat, and a heck of a lot lighter.

US Presswire photo
David Wright clubbed a pair of home runs to give the Mets an early lead.
Game in a nutshell: A couple of 12-game winners and All-Stars opposing each other on the mound? Sounds like a great pitchers' duel, right? Well, not entirely. R.A. Dickey held up his part of the bargain, tossing 7 1/3 strong innings. Gio Gonzalez, however, labored through his worst start of the season. The lefty was tagged for six earned runs in only 3 1/3 innings, three of those runs scoring on homers. And the Mets weren't done raking at the plate. David Wright crushed a three-run blast off Craig Stammen in the fourth, his second home run of the afternoon. Trailing 9-1 after that, the Nationals just played out the string, though there was an encouraging sight at day's end: Drew Storen made his season debut, tossing a 1-2-3 ninth and hitting 93 mph with his fastball.
Hitting highlight: Tough to find many offensive highlights when you're down 9-1 in the sixth inning, but how about some recognition for Sandy Leon. The poor guy's big-league debut in May didn't even last fourRead more »

They just let Xavier Paul go about a week ago. He seemed like a better player than DeRosa, to me, on many counts. Am I missing something?.You're missing a lot Laddie Blah Blah: Xavier Paul is a left-hand ed hitting outfielder … the Nats JUST RELEASED one of those (Rick Ankiel). Why? Corey Brown, Roger Bernadina, Brian Goodwin, Bryce Harper, and apparently Steve Lombardozzi is serviceable in the outfield as is a switch hitter? Mark DeRosa is a RIGHT HANDED infielder, right now he is the UTL while Lombo plays at second more to give Desmond time off. His replacement would undoubtedly be Mark Teahen who can play just about all the positions in the infield but bats left.

Corey Brown now also has 57 RBI, 69 runs, and a .383 OBP in the lead-off spot. And he is the best fielding CF in the system.

- baseballswami - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM
I think I heard Davey mention his name, Peric. I know I should feel really, really bad about this loss. Somehow, I am ok with it.I have been watching baseball long enough to know that these things happen – thankfully they hardly ever happen to us. Lots of good things ended up happening today – people got some rest, others got ab's , and good ones, too! Drew made his return ( hooray!) and Henry was good Henry. The team never quit, but didn't waste themselves for the weekend. Desi looked like Desi and the hitters got to see lots of RA Dickey's pitches. Plus – they got hits off of him. Sandy Leon got his feet wet and got his first hit. No one is overconfident going into the weekend. Not bad for a loss, that surprisingly didn't feel like a blow out for much of the game.I realized at some point that they always have a chance to come back and I believed that they might. Turn the page and get the bourbon and maalox ready.
- peric - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:37 PM
Are you sure that's this year's line for Corey Brown, or is it last year's, for Matt Antonelli?Few in the minors are doing that good offensively, certainly not Antonelli either this year with the Orioles and Yankees or last year with the Nats in AAA. Its pretty much off the charts Hiramhover. And IMO its why Rick Ankiel was release because Corey Brown may not have the same arm as Ankiel (who does?) but he is just as good if not a better outfielder and his arm is pretty darned good. The question has always been his bat.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:38 PM
Peric, The outfield in about 2 weeks will consist of Werth, Harper and Morse. I am a proponent of Corey Brown but why bring him up if he can't play everyday? The can bring him up and they just might but he will get Bernadina quantity of at bats at best. They can bring him up now; platoon him with Moore and sit Bernadina down (not a bad idea). PS. They won't bench Werth.

Before this game, did any of you think there would be 25 hits and 14 runs? Dickey and Gio? I would have missed that one by a mile.

Not saying his stats translate exactly into the majors but he's definitely earned a shot. no?

I see we have some serious fan-crushes on a certain someone in Syracuse.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:52 PM
Swami, They have both been trending downward lately so I didn't expect a double no hitter or anything but Gio in particular pitched pretty poorly. Let's see how he bounces back next week in NY.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:54 PM
Swami, I have never seen Brown play. I just always felt that when you dominate a level it's time to move up. He may well turn out to be a AAAA player but how do you know this before you try? He's definitely no worse than Ankiel or Bernadina just based on the numbers.
- baseballswami - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:55 PM
Agreed that neither has been at peak – but that was one for the books. Usually if we score 5 we win. And only scoring 5 with 14 hits? I think we may have given up 10 to the Rockies – in Colorado, but giving up 9 with our staff at home is certainly not an everyday thing. And it can be over now.
- baseballswami - Jul 19, 2012 at 8:59 PM
JD – regarding Brown, ( and not Gio or RA) – I don't know all that much about him, but with Werth coming up I don't see any wiggle room until September. I don't see them replacing Moore or Lombo with him, even though he, ( Brown), is a natural outfielder. We have minor leaguers blocked all over the place – outfield and 1B, especially. Unfortunately he will probably only get a chance if someone gets hurt or swoons terribly.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 9:03 PM
Swami, I agree that unless something opens up due to a trade on July 31st there is no real opportunity to move Brown up; otherwise it's probably Sept. 1st.
- Section 222 - Jul 19, 2012 at 9:03 PM
I get that Brown is having a good year in AAA. And I get that some people think he deserves a shot at playing in the bigs. I also get that some people don't think much of Werth. But it seems like wasted breath to argue that Brown should come up and play CF when it looks like Werth is only a few weeks away from rejoining the team. It's pretty much a certainty that our outfield at that point is going to be Morse in LF, Harper in CF, and Werth in RF. Brown will get a September callup, just as he did last year. But his best shot at cracking the lineup is next spring, and only if (1) ALR moves on after this year and Morse to 1B; (2) Rizzo doesn't make a move to get a Bourn or another CF.And then what do you do with don't call me Mary, Tyler Moore?

I love that these guys didn't give up. If Harper gets a hit in the 8th, it's a whole new game. I'm not upset either. We took the series. That's what we have to do this weekend, too.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 9:37 PM
Sec 222, This is where you can make smart trades to create spaces for players and this is also why ALR is not likely to be retained. Similarly and contrary to what Peric thinks Zim is not moving to 1st anytime soon; the value under which he was signed presupposes that he plays 3rd base for years to come. What this also means is that once and if Rendon regains his health and reaches the form expected from him he will more than likely be used in a trade to fill a needed spot (I don't think he's moving to 2nd base). I think Bourn is a non starter. Why spend that type of money if you have the pieces in house at a fraction of the cost?

What about Good Henry today, huh? 1+ scoreless innings! I wonder if he is one that Davey is "handling" but doesn't know he's being handled. =)
- baseballswami - Jul 19, 2012 at 10:15 PM
Oh, I definitely think so NatsNut. From what I heard on the radio from McCatty today, they are really trying to get him in a good place. Do you all realize how close we actually came to rebounding and winning this game? I just love it that even when our guys end up losing, they just make the other team scrap and claw and pay. I really think the Mets will know that they have been here. I feel like even when we split, like the Rockies and Miami, we leave them spent. I would just love it if other teams dreaded coming to NatsPark. I picture them just dragging themselves out of here. Terry Collins had to use everything he could think of to save a game that started out 9-1. Keep it up, guys!!!

Is it on this thread you ask for beta keys? If it is I would Love getting one. Dad's kind a "only" using Linux and so we have two computers with windows, One he uses and one I can play on. But it would be much better having the games on Linux than windows. It is so few really cool Linux games.
Edit: Sorry for asking here.

Name: Mike Gardner
Occupation: Real estate broker, general contractor, certified access specialist (CASp), former restaurant owner
Years in Plumas County: 21
What qualifications do you bring to the job of assessor?
My name is Mike Gardner. Times are tough on everyone and the last thing you need is to pay more property taxes than your property is worth.
Following my service in the military I became a real estate broker. I have extensive experience in land and real estate appraisal with a full understanding of all facets of the real estate business having been a broker for 30 years. I owned and operated my own real estate office with 13 agents. Also, became a general contractor in 1984, building homes in Plumas County since 1989. I understand the costs and hard work associated with building. After moving into Plumas County, I worked with developers establishing values and selling property for over 15 years. We own several properties in the county. In the '90s my wife, Eli, of 25 years, and myself, owned and operated Gumba's Pizzeria in Blairsden, where we met many of you. We learned the hard reality of taxation and how hard it is to make it under the burdens of government. I believe "we the people" are the employers and not the employees.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of assessor?
As I see it, bringing the office back to the people where they become the prime focus. This means listening and responding to them.
Being fiscally responsible as the head of the department. Making sure we assess properties to current 2010 values so the taxpayers aren't paying more than their fair share. If you have bought property in the past 10 years, more than likely you are paying too much in taxes. Real estate has not been selling in this county and comparables are a challenge due to the devastating downturn in the economy. I have the experience to make those decisions fairly and with accuracy and inform the taxpayers how we come up with their new assessment.
This brings me to changing the attitude in the assessor's office. I will work hard to inform and work hand in hand with the people so we work as a partner instead of as an adversary. Since elected office is not a place to make a lifetime career, my focus will be upon you, the people.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
As assessor, I will listen to you. I will keep in touch with my board of directors, which is you the people. Being responsible for many employees over the years and being the one responsible for whether or not the business succeeds, I know what it takes to deal with any challenge. This is not the first time in my life I have seen a downturn in the economy. I will be proactive in solving problems, not slow and reactive.
My perspective on being fiscally responsible comes from me risking my own hard earned dollar in order to make a dollar under the burdens of government taxation. This has been lost on today's government. Staying conservative and working within a budget is important. You do it at home. I will do it as your assessor.
As one who believes that elected office should not be an entitlement position and a career I believe I'm the new blood needed for Plumas County. There is one answer that accomplishes all challenges. Hard work!
I will bring new ideas and lots of energy to the assessor's office; you may find you will share my enthusiasm.
Vote for me June 8; thank you.
Name: Charles W. (Chuck) Leonhardt
Occupation: Plumas County assessor
Years in Plumas County: 45
What qualifications do you bring to the job of assessor?
Our family has been involved in ranching and local businesses in Plumas County since 1938. I have 33 years experience in the real estate, banking and professional appraisal fields. In my 22-year tenure as a professional appraiser, including being a staff appraiser with Great Western Savings, Bank of America and as the owner of Appraisal Services, I have performed professional appraisals in 13 counties in northeastern California and western Nevada. This experience included the Truckee and the Lake Tahoe Basin, Reno, the Nevada City/Grass Valley market and the Yuba/Sutter region. I have worked predominately in the Plumas County area since the early 1990s. I have performed appraisals in multiple economic cycles and have experience with declining market conditions. My job experience includes the valuation of complex real and personal property. Beginning in 1986, I have instructed real estate principles, appraisal and finance courses at Feather River College. I hold or have held licenses or certificates as a real estate agent, broker, real estate specialist, preferred banker, certified appraiser, certified appraiser for property taxes and an advanced appraisal certificate issued by the California State Board of Equalization. For the past 13 years I have served as the Plumas County Assessor.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of assessor?
The current volatile real estate market and the reductions in staffing that have occurred over the past few years due to the county's need to adjust to the economic downturn.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
Since becoming assessor, I have made significant investments in technology and training.
Our mapping department has converted from pen and ink drafting to a state-of-the-art digital mapping system with GIS components. In 1999 the office converted from a legacy computer program to a state-of-the-art integrated property tax system. That system is currently being used in 22 counties in California. This is the largest network of counties on a similar system in the state. Plumas County enjoys features and efficiencies that would not have been possible without that network of counties. I have developed a website to make property tax information available on the web. This includes needed forms, reference materials and recently, we have added property search information and maps.
In coordination with Placer and Monterey counties, I have implemented an automated method of making value changes on large scales where our valuations models allow.
I have developed an organized method of receiving, tracking and processing requests for "Decline in Value" reviews tendered by taxpayers and made the applications available both in the office and on the Internet.
I have made a significant investment in the assessor's office staff, promoting ongoing professional training and when possible cross training. I have retained experts in specialized fields to assist us in areas such as golf course appraisals that require a more regional scope. I meet with staff on a weekly basis to review current market trends on a national, regional and local basis. My staff and I are currently organizing and analyzing the market activity from Jan. 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010, to determine the appropriate trending for the 2010 property tax roll.
Name: Gregory Hagwood
Occupation: Plumas County sheriff
Years in Plumas County: Resident since 1975
What qualifications do you bring to the job of sheriff?
As I enter my 22nd year at the Plumas County Sheriff's Office, I have accumulated extensive experience, with increasing levels of responsibility, including administrative and supervisory roles. I have held the positions of deputy, D.A.R.E. officer, reserve deputy program coordinator, investigator, patrol sergeant, investigations sergeant, chief deputy coroner, acting undersheriff and appointed sheriff.
I have a proven record of success in establishing and maintaining productive relationships with the sheriff's office employees, county department heads, the Board of Supervisors, the district attorney's office and allied agencies.
My experience, my bachelor's degree in criminal justice from California State University, Sacramento, and specialized law enforcement training and certification have provided me with the foundation and expertise to effectively enforce the law and protect the community while also ensuring that citizens' rights are preserved and respected.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of sheriff?
One of the biggest challenges facing the sheriff's department is the same issue that is currently affecting all county and state agencies: providing an excellent level of service to the community while addressing the harsh realities of limited financial resources.
Because of financial restraints, the sheriff's office currently has unfilled positions, including several at the administrative level. Establishing the sheriff's office as a trusted institution in our communities is essential.
Another major challenge is establishing a mindset in the agency that service to the community is above all else. Creating and maintaining a cooperative, constructive relationship with the employees' association is absolutely necessary to ensure that fair, equitable treatment is the expected standard. Restoring the employees' trust in the sheriff's administration is a process that I have been actively addressing for the past year.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
As your sheriff, I am already facing, addressing and overcoming these challenges. The challenge of providing service to the community while addressing budget issues is difficult, but achievable.
The department can save money by temporarily leaving the vacant administrative positions unfilled. Taxpayers have every right to expect that the sheriff will devise and implement ways of handling administrative responsibilities when funding will not allow the agency to fill those positions. It specifically means that I will be at work every single day, meeting administrative obligations.
Equally important, our first staffing priority is making certain that our service positions — deputies and dispatchers and others — are staffed before administration jobs are addressed. I must lead by example and embody those qualities and traits that I expect of others. It is essential that the agency staff be supported and developed and that I show confidence in the men and women of the department. One of the ways to meet these challenges is to continue, and further develop, community involvement. For example, I established, and will expand, our citizen liaison committee to promote community involvement with the sheriff's office and communication with the Board of Supervisors.
Name: Bob Shipp
Occupation: Retired from law enforcement
Years in Plumas County: Two decades
What qualifications do you bring to the job of sheriff?
I have 36 years in law enforcement, having worked 18 years in the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Office and 18 years in the Plumas sheriff's office. I have worked in all three divisions; patrol, detention and investigation. My experience includes specialty assignments, such as, but not limited to: training officer, training officer coordinator, narcotics investigations, SWAT team member, SWAT team leader, Tri-County SWAT team coordinator and trainer, hostage negotiations training officer and defensive tactics instructor (weapon defense, firearms and baton).
I also have over 11 years as a sergeant including patrol sergeant, detention sergeant, administration sergeant, search and rescue coordinator and narcotic sergeant. In these assignments I was responsible for tracking of budget, grant and undercover "buy money" as well as the purchase of related fixed assets.
I know the job and I know the weaknesses and strengths of the Plumas County Sheriff's Office. I believe I can lead the sheriff's office into a new era of greater responsibility and accountability.
I will work with the men and women of the sheriff's office to build on its strengths, improve on its weaknesses and create an environment of trust and cooperation with the public.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of sheriff?
We are in a serious economic downturn and it has impacted most of us. An environment where one governing body has control of the money and everyone else is dependant on how it is divided up is a formula for contention and dissention. The trick is not to let it become hostile and divisive.
I have worked with several types of budget processes, such as program based budgeting, zero base budgeting, line item budgeting, which is what the county uses. Working with any budget process presents a challenge. It always takes a lot of study and hours of work to be presented correctly for the best results.
I have the skill and the personnel to accomplish the very best results.
But there are other issues as well. When I talk to people in the different communities, it becomes clear that they have trust issues with the sheriff's office. When I talk to personnel at the sheriff's office, they also have trust issues with the sheriff's administration. I am told morale is low. The solution is leadership, responsibility and accountability. I will bring new leadership in the form of experience, wisdom and dedication to these problems.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
Dealing with the budget is a difficult process. However, knowledge and preparation are vital. You can't sit down and talk about the budget without a thorough knowledge of what you need as well as what is available. I will create a partnership where both parties understand the capabilities and needs of the other and both are willing to work for the benefit of the citizens of the county. This is how to reach a solution that benefits all parties concern. Certainly that is what I will bring to the table.
On the issue of citizen trust and personnel morale, I believe I have the knowledge and character to lead this office in this area as well. You won't find anyone more passionate about improving the sheriff's office image in every community. I have talked to citizens, school personnel and business people all over the county. Each wants a sheriff's office that in fully involved in a partnership with them to make their community safer.
Every member of the sheriff's office wants an administration that has the integrity to treat them honestly, fairly and with the respect they deserve as committed employees of this sheriff's office.
Name: John Kennedy
Occupation: Bank manager
Years in Plumas County: Born 1965, in Quincy
What qualifications do you bring to the job of supervisor?
In addition to my experience as a business owner, mediator, parent, firefighter and involved member of the community, I believe my most significant qualification as county supervisor is my concern for others and the successful future of our county. I bring a lifetime of diverse knowledge that will enable me to work cooperatively toward improving local business, representing Plumas County on statewide issues, resolving county matters in a practical manner, advancing our children's education and fighting to keep our police, fire and emergency medical services as effective as possible.
I intend to devote my time and expertise, for many years ahead, to preserving and improving Plumas County. My pledge to Plumas County is a long-term commitment.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of supervisor?
I believe the single most challenging issue facing Plumas County is the current state of the economy. One of the principal challenges the supervisor will face is developing methods whereby our economy can be improved upon. Some additional challenges the supervisor will encounter are improving education, ensuring private property rights, providing for public safety, and maintaining quality emergency fire and medical care. Additionally, it will be extremely important to assist the General Plan working group in developing a viable, cohesive, updated General Plan.
Further, it is important to me that I demonstrate to the citizens of Plumas County that the Board of Supervisors will continue to be accessible and accommodating.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
If elected supervisor I promise to recognize that it is the citizens of Plumas County who will have the seat at the board, not just me. I will establish monthly forums whereby the citizens of Plumas County will be solicited to share input and opinions on current issues.
I will work diligently to improve our local tourism and to ensure the transient occupancy tax is being utilized to effectively market our county. I will encourage business, private and public, on the importance of local financial support.
I will work hard to create a more defined boundary between Sacramento and our county. I will use my resources to stay current on proposed legislation being introduced that may negatively affect our local economy.
Name: Richard (Dick) Lundy
Occupation: Semi-retired civil engineer
Years in Plumas County: 38
What qualifications do you bring to the job of supervisor?
I have over 30 years experience as a professional engineer, managing my own business, working in the land planning and project management fields.
Most of this work has been here in Plumas County thereby giving me a working relationship with several Plumas County departments, primarily public works, planning and environmental health. I have also presented and represented numerous projects before the planning commission and Board of Supervisors.
I believe this private sector experience will prove valuable in the transition from the private to the public.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of supervisor?
There are numerous issues, too numerous to mention here. The general state of the economy coupled with new state mandates and ongoing litigation make it very difficult for our local government to function efficiently. The challenge is not only dealing with these issues but dealing with them during a period when tax revenue is decreasing.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
I am pursuing information regarding a multitude of issues now before the board. However, I will seek, and need, the assistance from the other board members before I would consider myself up to speed and capable of making rational informed decisions on any of the issues.
I am a strong supporter of the special districts. Efficiency in this area solves many problems. They need to be properly managed and financed.
As a board member I would continue to support the Plumas County Economic Recovery Committee as it pursues all viable means to help the local community.
I also would support and pursue a seat on the larger coalition called the Sustainable Forest Action Coalition. This is a growing coalition of several counties, organizations and businesses within these counties attempting to form a base strong enough to influence both state and federal legislators and legislation. I believe this necessary for the counties to recover and reach self-sustainment.
Litigation involving the General Plan is a tough one. There is case after case involving the contents of General Plan and the requirement that there be no conflicts between elements. Updating our General Plan is a formidable task that I wish to follow closely.
Name: Ralph Wittick
Occupation: Realtor, retired radio station owner
Years in Plumas County: Nearly 40
What qualifications do you bring to the job of supervisor?
My ownership and managing radio stations from 1973 until 1996, in Plumas County, have given me great insight as to how this county works. I have lived in this county for almost 40 years, and love the quality of life we have here, and only want to make it better. I definitely know how to manage, to budget, to lead and to make things happen in a positive way.
What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the office of supervisor?
Number one: jobs.
Number two: we are spending too much money; we have to live within our revenues.
Number three: the new hospital for Quincy.
How do you propose to meet those challenges?
I will do all I can to work with and protect existing private industries within the county, and where possible, help them to grow and expand. I will also strive to attract new industries with tax incentives, and other amenities where possible.
The year 2011 will be crucial in our history insofar as the budget goes. The board must meet immediately at the first of the year, and confer with all county employees and unions, to discuss how we can all work together to balance the budget, with the least amount of inconvenience to our valuable county employees.
Plumas County has three hospitals for a little over 20,000 residents. Under existing government rules and regulations, it is virtually impossible for our hospitals to meet current and future mandates. Quincy needs a new hospital; however, the proposed facility is not feasible under present economic conditions.
As your supervisor, I will get with other counties that have similar problems, and ask the state to pass a "Best Efforts Law" that will allow small hospitals to provide the best possible health care, considering the funds that are available. The state must recognize that smaller counties cannot comply with big city mandates and continue to provide quality healthcare.
