THOUSANDS OF FACILITIES LIKE
OROVILLE ARE AGING, THREATENING
A GROWING POPULATION DOWNSTREA
AS PROGRESS CONTINUES AT
OROVILLE DAM, QUESTIONS SURROUND
THE CAUSE BEHIND THE DAMAGED
SPILLWAYS.
JOSEPH COUNTRYMAN UNDERSTAND
THE GRAVITY.
THE CIVIL ENGINEER SPENT MORE
THAN 20 YEARS OVERSEEING
RESERVOIRS WITH THE ARMY CORPS
OF ENGINEERS.
>> THAT IS A UNIQUE SITUATION
THAT I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS
EVER SEEN BEFORE.
VICKI: BUT WHAT'S COMMON IS
CALIFORNIA'S DEPENDENCE ON DAMS,
AS WATER NEEDS GROW ALONGSIDE AN
INCREASING POPULATION.
>> THE THINGS THAT WE THINK WE
KNOW, WE METICULOUSLY TAKE CARE
OF.
IT'S THE THINGS WE DON'T KNOW
AND ARE UNAWARE OF THAT CA
CAUSE A PROBLEM.
VICKI: THERE ARE MORE THAN 1500
DAMS STATEWIDE, THE MAJORITY OF
WHICH WERE BUILT BEFORE 1969.
OROVILLE DAM JOINS A LONG LI
OF STORAGE FACILITIES AROUND 50
YEARS OLD WITH AN UNKNOWN LIFE
EXPECTANCY.
>> CERTAINLY THE OLDER THE
STRUCTURE IS, THE MORE
INSPECTION THAT IT NEEDS, AND
THE MORE REHAB IT NEEDS
PERIODICALLY TO BRING IT UP TO
CURRENT STANDARDS.
VICKI: DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES OWNS AND OPERATES
OROVILLE DAM, BUT THE ARMY CORP
OF ENGINEERS OVERSEES FLOOD
CONTROL, TELLING US OPERATIONS
WERE NORMAL DESPITE ABOVE
AVERAGE RAIN AND SNOWPACK
FOLLOWING YEARS OF SEVERE
DROUGHT.
>> ARE THERE CHALLENGES?
IT PRESENTS SOMETHING THAT WE
HAVEN'T SEEN IN AWHILE.
BUT WITH WATER CONTROL, FLOOD
CONTROL RELEASES, THAT'S ALL BY
THE BOOK.
VICKI: THE PRIMARY SPILLWAY
DAMAGED BUT STILL FUNCTIONAL.
POURING WATER INTO THE FEATHER
RIVER, SUCCESSFULLY PROTECTING
THOUSANDS OF HOMES.
BUT WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THE
WOUNDED SPILLWAY WHEN THE
RUSHING WATER SUBSIDES?
>> MANY OF MY HYDRAULIC ENGINEER
FRIENDS AND I HAVE BEEN
DISCUSSING WHAT MIGHT IT LOOK

HEALTH CARE SPENDING IS ON THE
RISE IN MASSACHUSETTS.
22NEWS REPORTER TASHANEA WHITLOW
JOINS US AFTER HEARING DOCTORS
AND PATIENTS CONCERNS ABOUT THE
GROWING COST OF HEALTH CARE.
PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS BOTH
AGREE THAT LOWERING PRESCRIPTION
DRUG
PRICES WILL HELP REDUCE
HEALTHCARE COST.
IT WAS A MATTER OF EATING OR
TAKING HER
MEDICINE.
TASHANEA WHITLOW:
THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH POLICY
COMMISSION'S ANNUAL REPORT FOUND
THAT
HEALTH CARE SPENDING IS
INCREASING IN MASSACHUSETTS.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS,
HOSPITAL SPENDING, HEALTH
INSURANCE
ENROLLMENT CHANGES AND LONG
TERM SERVICES ARE ALL DRIVING
THE COSTS HIGHER.
DR. IRA HELFAND TOLD 22NEWS IT'S
A BROKEN SYSTEM IN NEED OF
REPAIR.
I THINK THE MAIN THING WE NEED
TO DO IS TO GET THE
COST OF MEDICATION UNDER
CONTROL. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
NEGOTIATE WITH THE DRUG
COMPANIES
AND THEIR PRICES NEED TO BE
LOWERED. WE NEED TO GET THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE
PICTURE COMPLETELY.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES ARE
BLAMED FOR THE STATE'S RISING
HEALTH CARE
COSTS, WHICH AN INCREASING
NUMBER OF LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME
FAMILIES ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD.

THEY'RE NOT
REGULATED. PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY
POOR, DISABLED, THE ELDERLY
ESPECIALLY, WHO CAN'T PAY FOR
THEIR
PHARMACEUTICAL

HEALTH INSURERS TO WORK TOGETHER
AND
CREATE A MORE TRANSPARENT HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
TASHANEA WHITLOW:
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, MEDICAL
CARE AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN 20% OF
COMMERCIAL SPENDING IN
MASSACHUSETTS.

The Perfect Year - Duration: 4:38.
Everyone is just a little tired.
Everyone is sure this can't go right.
Things look pretty grim, and the slim Chance they won't be isn't
winning us this fight.
Everyone says I'm too optimistic.
Everyone is adamant that we're Heading straight into the dark,
but I think I see a spark.
I say this is gonna be the perfect year.
I am going to climb a giant mountain.
The kind that everybody says can kill.
And if I can't find one, I won't mind; I'll just go and climb
the nearest, steepest hill.
Afterwards, I'll write a brilliant novel And sell it for a half-full keg of beer.
And my resulting plight will just give me more to write.
You see, this is gonna be the perfect year.
I'll be the scientist Who discovers we are living in a game.
You'll come to see I am correct that nothing here is real.
And I shall lead the human race, And everyone will know my name.
You'll follow me, And I shall gladly teach you how to feel.
I shall get a job that really suits me And pays well for six hours of work per week.
It will be the best, and my zest Will convince the world
it's great to be a geek.
I shall find a pet that's truly awesome, And though it will resemble a young deer,
When hitched to my magic wagon, it will turn into a dragon.
It's true this is gonna be the perfect year.
I'll be the acrobat Who discovers there's a secret to world peace.
You'll come to be My devotees, and we shall save the day
And retire to some paradise With fifty sheep apiece.
I'll hurt my knee, But by then I won't need it, anyway.
Everything will really be amazing Once I have travelled into outer space,
And thanks to my equation, the invasion Will be turned back.
My new nickname will be "Ace."
Unicorns will bear me to the castle As all the happy woodland creatures cheer.
I'll light the torch, and then the true king will come again
Because this is gonna be the perfect year.
Everyone has said I'm in denial.
Everyone is sure I've lost my mind.
They claim it's too late.
Nothing's great, And I've got to simply learn to be resigned.
I don't understand what they are saying.
To me, one thing's absolutely clear: We may be under threat, but it hasn't killed us yet,
And so this is gonna be the perfect year.
This is gonna be A time for you and me,
The monarchs of the sea.
Let the unicorns go free!
This is going to be the perfect year!

LADDERS.
AND IF THE LADDER ARE TIED

ARE GOING TO MOVE THE LADDERS.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THEIR
LADDERS OR THEIR SPOT, THAT'S A
GRAS.
