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

RISE IN MASSACHUSETTS.

AND PATIENTS CONCERNS ABOUT THE

GROWING COST OF HEALTH CARE.

PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS BOTH

AGREE THAT LOWERING PRESCRIPTION

PRICES WILL HELP REDUCE

HEALTHCARE COST.

HOSPITAL SPENDING, HEALTH

INSURANCE

TERM SERVICES ARE ALL DRIVING

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

BLAMED FOR THE STATE'S RISING

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.

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!
