  Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood will ask Kern County supervisors to lay off between 45 and 93 detention deputies and 15 civilian employees Tuesday.
  
  If things go well, from Youngblood's perspective, he'll only have to lay off 45 deputies and the civilians.
  
  But if supervisors decide to close the minimum security building at Lerdo Jail to balance the sheriff's budget, Youngblood said he will have to lay off another 48 detention deputies.
  
  Anthony Leal of the Kern County Detention Officers Association thinks Youngblood has other options than to lay off the 45 detention deputies in the sheriff's downtown jail.
  ...
  Youngblood said he plans to backfill the "blue patch" detention deputy jobs with "red patch" street deputies.
  ...
  Youngblood said the street deputies are the better choice.
  
  The cost of putting new deputies in the jail is just about the same as the cost of the detention deputies they will be replacing, he said.
  ...
  Youngblood said detention deputies have a longevity pay that counters the value.
  
  But the deciding factor for Youngblood was that, in case of a crisis where he needs to send as many people as he can into the streets, he can pull the "red patch" deputies out of the jail, pair them with another deputy and put them on the street.
  
  "I cannot do that with a detention deputy," Youngblood said.
  
  Keeping patrol deputies employed is critical to protecting the public in the lean budget years, he argued.
  
  "I don't know when the end of the recession is. I have to have the ability to respond to crimes," Youngblood said.
  
  The county has stated that if county unions are willing to make concessions and allow all county employees to pay into their health and retirement benefits, it would mean millions of dollars in savings to the county.
  
  Youngblood has said he needs between $5 million and $6.5 million to keep Lerdo minimum open.

  If that happens, said Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood, he would have to find a way to house them in Lerdo Jail.
  
  And that would be extremely difficult for his department as it considers serious staffing and facility cuts of its own.
  
  "We could be closing one of our jails down because of the economy," Youngblood said.

  During the Kern County Sheriff's Office Memorial Ceremony Wednesday, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood assists Amanda Throne in putting up a plaque in honor of her husband, Deputy James Edward Throne, who died in the line of duty May 23, 2008.
  ...
  "This isn't a day for us just to mourn," Sheriff Donny Youngblood told the attendees. "This is a day to celebrate as well."
  
  Celebrating, he said, the late deputy Richard McHale aka the prankster (he was shot during a family disturbance call March 3, 1989); or the quiet deputy James Lee Williams (died Oct. 19, 1991 in a traffic accident); and let's not forget the smiling, youthful deputy William "Joe" Hudnall (a victim of another traffic accident Nov. 14, 2006).
  
  "If you look around and keep your eyes closed, you could hear the laughter of (Deputy Daniel Lee) Archuleta," Youngblood said. Archuleta died in a single vehicle accident Sept. 12, 2004.
  
  Undersheriff Marty Williamson made reference to the memorial's latest features -- new lights and a flagpole -- and he said they'd be used to remind people of those who died while in the line of duty.
