           SUBJECT  :    Deputy James Throne Memorial Highway

           SOURCE  :     Kern County Supervisor Mike Maggard
                      Kern County Supervisor Michael Rubio


           DIGEST  :    This resolution designates State Highway Route  
          (SR) 184 in Kern County as the Deputy James Throne Memorial  
          Highway.

           ANALYSIS  :    Born in 1978, James Throne grew up in Shafter,  
          California, where he graduated from Shafter High School.   
          In 2002, he graduated from the Kern County's Sheriff's  
          Department Academy and joined the sheriff's department as  
          an extra help deputy.  The next year he joined the Taft  
          Police Department but returned to the Kern County Sheriff's  
          Department in 2005, when he became a full-time deputy  
                                                           CONTINUED

          sheriff. 

          Deputy Throne was active in the community, leading classes  
          on drug and gang awareness, as well as teaching in-service  
          classes for his fellow deputies on defensive tactics and  
          helping his colleagues with their narcotics investigations.  
           In 2007, the Bakersfield Optimist Club honored Deputy  
          Throne as its Officer of the Year.  He married in 2000, and  
          he and his wife Amanda have three children.

          On May 23, 2008, while pursuing a suspect, another deputy's  
          patrol car struck Deputy Throne's patrol car. Deputy Throne  
          died at the scene.  

          This resolution designates SR 184 in Kern County, which is  
          approximately 14 miles in length, as the "Deputy James  
          Throne Memorial Highway."  The resolution further requests  
          the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to erect  
          appropriate signs upon receiving donations from non-state  
          sources to cover the costs.
