YUCAIPA - At the March 11 City Council meeting it was brought up that the State Department of Finance suggested to governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that the state can take from the counties and cities up to 8 percent of the property tax that the two entities collect to help the state with its current budget deficit.

Mayor Dick Riddell said, "Twice within 10 years they can raid the city. They are supposed to pay it back within three years with interest. Our principal source of income is property tax and it would hurt us quite significantly if we lost 8 percent of it."

"I am living proof of the hardships and trials that have been overcome by my past female comrades so that I may continue to serve this country to the best of my ability."
--Sarah Katzer.

YUCAIPA - As a Guest of Honor during the Veterans Day celebration, Sarah Katzer, a five-year military veteran, who is now serving in the Navy Reserve, paid tribute to the thousands of women serving in the Armed Forces - past and present.

A World War II Marine Corps poster called women out to join America's workforce, to boldly "Free a Marine to Fight!" Women were called out of their homes to work in the factories doing the jobs previously held by men, so those men could step into uniforms and fight for our country.

Now, women are no longer called to fill the places of the men going to war, but are themselves called to war to fight beside those men. This was not an easy transition. Women were looked upon as the caretaker of the home and family, and going to the front lines of battle to die for their country was not an option.
