SYSTEM: Please welcome Angel who just joined the chat.
Angel: Goof morning
Angel: S....Carl, Who knew going to the VA was like going to Disneyland
Angel: Ducks
Sungold: When we owned Liquor Barn, U of OR was always an issue. We used to send a rep from our store up there with pamphlets on showing respect for the lake and campgrounds. It did help.
Guest: lets build a wall !!!! across the Oregon border....lol
Angel: Good morning Sun
Sungold: Hi Angel
Guest: a bunch of spoiled kids on student loans..
Guest: so hold the resorts responsible,,, they will choose to rent to them or not...
Angel: There ya go, the problem is inconsiderate kids, represents the kids of today
SYSTEM: Please welcome ProducerBadBob who just joined the chat.
Carl: Hold resorts responsible?
Guest: just heard on this station that the now majority of 18-34 year olds are living at home... having never moved out ....go figure
Sungold: There vacation times are always different than our students. This trashing issue is not new. I hope someone goes up to speak with those students, they need to hear that they are not welcome here if they continue that behavior. The resorts should have a little talk with them before they take posse
Angel: No way, the kids, it is a crime and bottomline they need to be held accoutable, all of them
Sungold: Their
ProducerBadBob: May be necessary...as much as I hate the idea...to impose a "clean up your crap" fee on houseboat rentals spread out over the year.
Angel: Exactly
Guest: make the resorts pay for the cleanup...maybe they will put a little pressure on these kids or not rent to them at all... most VRBO's would never rent to them... but the resorts want the money
Sungold: Possession
ProducerBadBob: Well...that is a reason for going into business...but your point is taken...the rentals cause damage and there needs to be a way to clean up the leftovers.
Angel: Those who rented the boats are responsible, they leave deposits for the boats, they will make sure the place is clean before they leave
Sungold: Maybe they need to register somehow and that person would be responsible for making sure the boat and campgrounds is left like they found it.
ProducerBadBob: This has been talked about for 25+ years now
Angel: The person who rents the boats have to leave a deposit, they should have to sign some sort of respect for the environment while out there
ProducerBadBob: I have video footage from the Coast Guard Auxiliary Patrols that would make ya blush
Angel: I have been in homes that have been foreclosed, not much will make me blush
Sungold: Our employees at Liquor Barn were instructed to ID everyone carefully. Sometimes those OR students did not like being refused. They were then told to go somewhere else. Don't know why it was that particular bunch that gave us the most trouble.
Angel: Glad they took great care, it is your license not theirs
Guest: or we could take a couple hundred to oregon and trash that little postage stamp of a state... lets just take them over...invade...turn them into Northern Cal and make all those liberals move to Idaho... rally at the Border !!!! lol
Sungold: Our store manager always dreaded this time of year when they came down, and he was the one who came up with the idea of going up two weeks prior to their arrival to hand out pamphlets and speak with the students.
Guest: good coffee this morning...lol
Sungold: Acting like they do in their home state is not the way to handle the situation...we would simply stoop to their level
Carl: Resorts have upped age for rentals. Holding them responsible like holding gun shops responsible for mis use of guns
Angel: It will not be hard for Forest Service to cite them, I actually think the penalties for leaving garbage are much stiffer on a National Lake
Sungold: There is also a volunteer lake patrol group, they should be out in full force and be watching for such things. Slaughter Island is always a trouble spot.
Angel: US Forest Dept, should be taking the lead, all kinds of things they can be charged with enviromentally
Angel: environmentally
Angel: Sheriff boats were out there
Sungold: We practically lived on the lake when our kids were home.....we saw a lot of stuff. I hated it when the students actually roamed around nude on the houseboats. Our kids saw that and it really made me mad
Guest: they already hold them responsible with deposits on their own property... that lake is why these groups are in business...like holding gun shops responsible... poor simile...you are better then that
Guest: between the two of you thats the best you could do... maybe we could get a college student to come in on certain mornings and help you two
Angel: We had a houseboat, we were out once and a boat load of kids came in out cove and launched water balloons at the boat. They left in a big hurry when they heard gun fire
Angel: Once again, society giving kids a pass! These kids need to be held accountable!
Sungold: There is no excuse for the students leaving that mess, those boats have garbage bags. The kids are simply too lazy to haul the trash back to the disposal units. They probably are kids who have never had to do any chores at home.
Angel: True story
Sungold: Another thing the students used to do (not only students) is follow our boat when we had a skier to jump our wake. Our boat was big and made a big wake. Used to scare the skier and I worried there would be an accident
Sungold: Those jet skis can cause issues when they follow the boats to jump the wakes
Angel: Kids are kids but leaving a mess after camping, that is bs and Forest Service needs to go after them. I know as a boat owner they have no problem going after us!
Angel: Hate them Sun, they are so annoying
Sungold: That is so true.
Sungold: When our kids were older, they asked to go up to our boat which was house in a boat shack at Turntable Bay. One time, they left a mess. Dad came unglued and made them and their friends go up and spend the day cleaning up the shack and washing the boat. They NEVER did that again
Angel: Good for Gene!
Angel: Well time to walk the beasts, have a great day!
Sungold: Yeo, he rarely gets mad, but sure did that time. He went up with the kids and made sure they did a perfect job. Kids were all exhausted, his standards are high!
Sungold: Have a good walk Ruth.
Sungold: That comment from the CEO has to be the most ridiculous comment every
Guest: Rob Mcdonald
ProducerBadBob: Rarely does anything spouted by a bureaucrat make my jaw drop any more...this did it.

Hey!: There are already folks who guard during events
Hey!: True but it underscores the issues of concern
Hey!: City of Redding has other concerns. For Example, addressing easy issues such as re-naming streets and raising taxes
Guest: maybe the city to order a study ?? maybe throw 150k at it...then we could disregard the findings... lets just skip all that and ask for a tax increase...
Guest: they are finally calling the egypt air crash a result of an explosion...

Hey!: Cost of living> Norweign relitives, He loves McDonalds, Here in American a Big Mac, fries and soda with no ice is about $32.00. So goes Socialism.

Ro.mind: Gotta love hitting the wrong key stroke via mobile
ProducerBadBob: Herro Ro
Scott: Wow, He doesn't think anyone in office feels that way?
Scott: We don't want to elect anyone who is successful and knows how to get things done.
Scott: What does being well funded have to do with the ability to do a good job?
Hey!: I recall my father taking me to Democratic and Union training sessions in South Central LA as a child. first rule in a debate or conversation. "Call them a racist" It is like throwing a wet blanket on them and they cant get it off them. That is how to start the argument
ProducerBadBob: Republicans: Same Paint, Different Brush....Democrats: Different Paint with the Same Brush.
Scott: You are NEVER going to get elected to a public office without funding. It costs a ton of money to run for office like it or not.
Sungold: And that is exactly the problem. If money was not entered into the game, it would be much better.
SYSTEM: Please welcome Mpseabee who just joined the chat.
Scott: How can it not be part of the game? Everything cost money, you can't travel the district without spending money.
Mpseabee: Mr.Cheadle, is the only candidate who consistently goes to veterans events.
Scott: Good for him, is that free ?
Mpseabee: He shows his support through his actions. He's approachable and we'll educated.
Scott: Would he go to every event if he goes to DC?
Mpseabee: Every veteran event is free when it's for the public.
Mpseabee: Scott, not sure. But he'd probably be voting in person rather than being on vacation.
Mpseabee: Haven't seen a Democrat show up to any event to honor vetetans.
Mpseabee: Rarely see city council show unless it's a campaign yeat.
Mpseabee: Year
Scott: Won't argue with that
Scott: Maybe Gregory should run for city council.
Mpseabee: Hooaaa
Mpseabee: He has my vote
Scott: This is a local issue, Congress can't do anything about that. And they shouldn't
Scott: Gregory is a nice guy but Congress is way out of his league. He should get his feet wet first with City Council or BOS. He would do a good job.
Mpseabee: I think he'd be great for Congress
Mpseabee: That's what's great about Americs..you can choose.
Mpseabee: America
Mpseabee: Hillary talks about income inequality.. yet she doesn't give half of what she has to anyone.
Scott: If he really wants to effect change, it happens first locally. He sees what is going on locally and is much better suited to win local elections
Mpseabee: China has their first group of nuclear subs...and our forces are getting grounded and sunk.
Scott: It's like school, learn how it works first.
