Pink FROMPAGE1 Staffreports RED BLUFF The Red Bluff office of the California Highway Patrol has an- nounced that it will con- duct a sobriety checkpoint today, April 18, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. somewhere in the unincorporated area of Te- hama County. "All too often, mem- bers of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by intoxicated drivers," said Lt. Lou Aviles, Red Bluff area commander, in a press release. "By publi- cizing our efforts we be- lieve that we can deter mo- torists from drinking and driving." This weekend marks the 94th edition of the Red Bluff Round-Up Ro- deo, which is expected to draw thousands of ro- deo fans from throughout the North State to the Red Bluff area. "The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each motorist by target- ing roads where there is a high frequency of drunk driving," according to the release. "A sobriety check- point is a proven and ef- fective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operations." The exact location of the checkpoint was not released. "Traffic volume permit- ting, all vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and drugs," Aviles said. "Our objective is to send a clear message to those considering mixing alcohol and drugs with driving."

Red Bluff Fire Chief Ray Barber has previously said that if the boot drive raised more than $5,000, the Red Bluff Volunteer Fire De- partment would receive its name on the wall of the UC Davis burn center. Red Bluff firefighter Brian Quigley, who weaved through stopped traffic on Main Street, filling his boot with cash from supporting motor- ists, said the drive sur- passed the $4,500 mark in the early-afternoon hours. The boot drive was scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Firefighter Uriah Har- ris said that the boot drive is nothing but a tes- timony of support from the local community.

Meredith said the live- stock groups directors have spoken with have said Since last fall, fair board directors have explored a move by communicating with community mem- bers and other fair stake- holders through face-to- face outreach, fair board meetings, mailers and on- line polling. Those in favor of the move have said a sum- mer fair could boost at- tendance by not compet- ing with youth and high school sporting events. In addition, some have said children who show ani- mals at the Junior Live- stock Auction miss school days because of their com- mitments to the auction. Opponents, such as one fair-goer at the last fair board meeting, have said that a July fair could mean competing with a punish- ing summer Sun, and that the Junior Livestock Auc- tion has been breaking sales records year after year. The Tehama District Fair was last moved to Sep- tember in 2000. The Tehama District Fair Board of Directors is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, at the Tehama Room at the fairgrounds, 645 Antelope Blvd. Fair FROM PAGE 1 Findusonline! By Alicia Chang The Associated Press LOS ANGELES California health authorities on Fri- day declared an end to a large measles outbreak that started at Disneyland and triggered a national debate about vaccinations. Disease detectives for months raced to contain the highly contagious disease, which surfaced at Disney theme parks in December and spread to a half-dozen U.S. states, Mexico and Can- ada. The outbreak sickened 147 people in the U.S., including 131 in California. There were no deaths. Officials at the California Department of Public Health said no new infections have been reported for the past 42 days — or two incubation periods — meaning the out- break is over in the U.S. "Having this measles out- break behind us is a signif- icant accomplishment," said Dr. Gil Chavez, state epide- miologist. Many who fell ill were not immunized against measles. Some cited personal reasons for refusing shots, and oth- ers were too young to get the measles-mumps-rubella vac- cine. The Disneyland episode prompted state lawmak- ers to introduce a bill that would bar parents from seeking vaccine exemptions for their children because of personal beliefs. The pro- posed legislation has stirred heated debates, and a com- mittee delayed a vote until next week. Doctors said the outbreak could have been worse if it wasn't for the aggressive public health response, which included tracking down thousands of people potentially exposed to mea- sles-stricken patients and isolating the sick until they were no longer contagious. "It's a lot of work, and it's very expensive," said Dr. James Cherry, an infectious disease specialist at the Uni- versity of California, Los An- geles, who had no role in the measles investigation. While the Disneyland out- break is over in the U.S., it's still a problem in the Ca- nadian province of Que- bec, where 159 people were sickened after someone vis- ited the theme park and re- turned home. Most belong to a tight-knit religious com- munity with a low vaccina- tion rate. Measles has been elimi- nated in the U.S. for more than a decade, but outbreaks still occur when travelers be- come infected abroad and spread the virus among un- vaccinated populations in their home country.
