Across the state Califor- nia's unemployment rate dropped from 7.4 to 6.9 percent. Tehama County's unem- ployment is the 42nd low- est of the state's 58 coun- ties. Once again Imperial County had the worst rate at 23.9 percent, but even that dropped from the month prior. Marin's 3.9 percent un- employment was the low- est in the state. In neighboring counties Butte reported 7.4 percent unemployment, Glenn was at 8.7 percent, Mendocino was 5.7 percent, Plumas was 7.1 percent, Shasta reported 7.7 percent and Trinity came in at 8.2 per- cent. The national unemploy- ment rate is 5.7 percent. Jobless FROM PAGE 1 utes," Ash said. "We've had people come all the way Denver, Colorado, spend the night at Ely and get here the next day, put their four minutes on stage and drive all the way back to Ely." He added: "But the rea- son for coming is because of the camaraderie with the fiddlers. The best mu- sic — it's no secret — the best music unless you want to count Calvin in on the mix, is out at the park- ing lot around the differ- ent RVs and campsites where people have jams." It's the 18th year the contest has been held in Red Bluff, and new to the championships is a junior piano contest on Saturday.

Fiddle FROM PAGE 1 the fair, an increase over the roughly 76,000 attend- ees in 2013. Carnival sales also rose compared to last year, bringing in about $64,000 compared to $42,000 in 2013. Durrer attributed the better numbers, in part, to the free fair tickets handed out to each ele- mentary school student in the county. Out of about 8,000 tick- ets handed out to stu- dents before the fair, a lit- tle more than 1,940 were used. The fair board thanked the efforts of a group of community members and former fair board directors that spearheaded the free ticket idea, and the Danc- ing with the Stars event held during the fair. The group, known as the Com- mitted to Improvement group, also presented the $3,700 the dancing event raised for the fairgrounds. The fair is the biggest revenue maker of the year for the fairgrounds, direc- tors said. The event has traditionally brought in about $270,000 before ex- penses. More comprehensive numbers for this year's fair were not immediately available, but Durrer said she was confident that the fair did "as well if not bet- ter than last year." The fair's board of di- rectors this year has at- tempted to bring the fair- ground's finances in order after identifying years of spending that outpaced revenues. So far this year, atten- dance at the fairgrounds was notched at roughly 127,000, which is about 3,000 more compared to the same point last year and "shows that we are using the facilities," Dur- rer said. Director Pete Dagorrett, during the fair board meet- ing Tuesday, said: "Things are a little better. Our at- tendance reflects our fi- nancial situation." He added: "I think we've kind of turned a corner, and we're headed in the right direction." The Tehama District Junior Livestock Auc- tion also improved com- pared to last year as the sale topped $705,000. Last year, the sale grossed about $616,000. "It's just unbelievable what the people in this community step up and do," said Mike Collins, president of the Tehama District Junior Livestock Auction Committee. New fair board director Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday announced the appointment of Shanna Long, 46, of Corning to the 30th District Agricultural Association. Long, who took her seat on the fair board Tuesday, has co-owned Greg Long Ranch since 1995 and is a member of the Califor- nia Farm Bureau Federa- tion, according to the an- nouncement. The position does not require state Senate con- firmation and there is no compensation, accord- ing to the announcement. Long is a Republican. Fair FROM PAGE 1 Pianist Paul Posnak will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22 at Red Bluff's State The- atre as part of the Te- hama Concert Series. Posnak's international career as a concert pi- anist, recording artist, transcriber and sought- after teacher began as a child prodigy with a full scholarship to the Juil- liard Preparatory School of Music at the age of eight. Recipient of Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral de- grees from Juilliard, and of the Loeb Prize — Juil- liard's highest award — he won first prizes in the International J.S. Bach Competition, and the Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York. A highly regarded col- laborative artist, Posnak has worked with many world-renowned vocal- ists, including Luciano Pavarotti and Jennie Tourel, and performed and recorded with many of the world's leading chamber ensembles, in- cluding the Emerson, Fine Arts, Vega, St. Pe- tersburg, Amernet, Port- land and Bergonzi String Quartets. Posnak's performances as soloist with the Na- tional Symphony Orches- tra at the Kennedy Cen- ter were described by The Washington Post as playing "with respect and passion, producing read- ings that were as notable for their musicality and their artistic integrity as they were for their pi- anism." Since Novem- ber 2005, Dr. Posnak has served as a judge of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. His 14 recordings of solo and chamber works for labels such as EMI, Naxos, Vox, Arabesque, Centaur and the Yamaha Disklavier Artist Series have received the high- est praise from the lead- ing international press, and his film on Chopin has also attracted inter- national attention. The Tehama Concert Series is presented by the Tehama County Commu- nity Concert Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing quality live entertain- ment to Tehama County. Tickets to concerts are sold on a membership ba- sis, although some single concert tickets are avail- able. Single ticket prices are $30 for adults and $10 for students younger than 25 living at home. CONCERT Pianist Paul Posnak to perform tonight By Judy Lin The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown met with state agency heads, labor unions and leaders in the health care industry Tuesday to address Ebola prepared- ness at hospitals and other medical facilities through- out California. RoseAnn DeMoro, exec- utive director of the state's largest nurses' union and National Nurses United, said hospitals have been slow in responding to the Ebola threat. The union wants the type of gear used at premier institutions as well as practice on how to remove it after caring for an Ebola patient. "We hope to God that it never comes to California. But if it does, we want to make sure our nurses have every safeguard," DeMoro said after the nurses' sep- arate meeting with Brown. While the administration has not issued any man- dates, the union praised the Democratic governor for his leadership. The gover- nor also convened meetings with emergency respond- ers, local health directors and medical providers. DeMoro said hospitals have inadequate equip- ment, referring nurses to websites rather than de- ploying teams to interact with them. The U.S. Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidelines Monday that in part called for health care workers caring for Eb- ola patients to wear face shields, hoods, boot covers and other clothing, leav- ing no part of the body ex- posed. The association repre- senting hospitals says its members are working with California's workplace reg- ulatory agency to imple- ment the new guidelines. "The safety of patients, hospital employees, first re- sponders, providers and the public is paramount," ac- cording to a joint statement from the California Hospi- tal Association, the Associ- ation of California Nurse Leaders and the American Nurses Association-Cali- fornia. "Californians can be reassured that univer- sal precautions are in place to screen and identify infec- tious diseases." There are currently no cases of Ebola in Califor- nia. However, state officials have been meeting with health care workers, hospi- tals and emergency workers to be prepared. Brown has been meet- ing with state officials from the Health and Human Ser- vices Agency, California De- partment of Public Health, Department of Industrial Relations and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health. The governor's office has not said what actions Brown might take from the meetings. "California's workplace safety and health stan- dards go further than na- tional standards in protect- ing workers from hazards such as Ebola," Juliann Sum, acting chief of the state's Division of Occupa- tional Safety and Health, known as Cal/OSHA, said in announcing workplace guidelines last week.

He suggested that allArmed Services be disbanded and one agency would operate defense, missiles and so forth. Everyone knows that the waste of money in our competing Navy,ArmyAir corps and Marines is enormous. It is probable that the National Budget could be balanced at once and taxes reduced considerably on the savings in one year. … How many times have you heard people say, "What the children need nowadays is something to do."? I'm going to tell you of children who have learned something to do. They are the boys and girls who, as home projects, are raising lambs, calves and hogs to exhibit at the County fairs around the country. Each of the youngsters and future exhibitors have spent a half to an hour every day for 3 to 6 months…and every day the animals must be fed, watered, groomed and their pens cleaned. When the animals are sold, the young people get to keep the money, figure their expenses and see if they have made a profit or loss. TheAnderson 4H and FFAsale of animals was accomplished in less than six hours last Saturday evening. There were at least 50 young girls among the owners of the animals. When you see a 1000 pound steer being halter led around the arena by an 80 pound girl with noise and confusion all about them, you begin to understand that there is a friendship and trust between the young girls and their pets. Many of them cried when their steers were led away by the new owners. One girl, in particular, put her arms around her lamb's neck, buried her face in its wool and cried all the time it was being sold. … Children are much smarter and better informed then they were before the advent of TV. Bruce, who isn't quite 3 years old yet questions me continually when we are riding in the car. Some of the questions I can't answer and pretend not to hear them.Among a string of unrelated questions the other day he suddenly asked, "Who is Socrates?" When I didn't reply, he asked the question again. The worst of it is that if I gave him the wrong answer, I might get tripped up as he may know the correct answer. I knew that Socrates was either a Greek or Roman philosopher, but was a little uncertain, so I still refused to answer his question. The next day my curiosity got the best of me and I asked him, "Who is Socrates?" And he said, "The neighbor's cat." DaveMinch1900-1964 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2014 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
