He was convicted of wounding officers with a deadly weapon and fir- ing a gun during a violent crime. The ranger initially let Cole go with a warn- ing for driving his truck on a closed dirt road. The ranger then found Cole's makeshift campground with two motorcycles, one of them reported sto- len and the other with ex- pired registration tags. Cole came from the brush surrounding the campsite as the ranger and highway patrolman were removing both bikes, prosecutors said. He told the officers he was there to get his belongings, that he was armed and that he wouldn't let the ranger handcuff him. He then drew a .44-caliber revolver and began shooting, hit- ting both officers as they returned fire, prosecutors said.

Those that are bit- ten may show signs of stumbling, circling, hind leg weakness, inability to stand and muscle tremors. There is a vaccine to pre- vent West Nile Virus for horses, and horse owners should contact their vet- erinarians for more infor- mation. California monitors dead birds to determine when West Nile Virus is in a community. If you find a dead bird, do not touch it or pick it up; use a shovel, gloves or inverted plastic bags to handle the animal, place it in a plas- tic bag, then dispose of it in the trash.

Virus FROM PAGE 1 Sullivan produced the video with her Grammy- winning husband, Eric Sullivan, and the video in- volves more than 900 peo- ple from around the world singing in 27 languages in one song. Sullivan's piano teacher, her mother Carol Purdy, started teaching Sullivan to play the piano when her daughter was four years old. "Playing music together in my family was a regu- lar occurrence," Sullivan said. Sullivan's work has been featured in commer- cials and videos, includ- ing a Hyundai commercial that features voice over by Jeff Bridges. She has had her music featured in two Emmy Award-winning documentaries and her next projects include col- laborating with new age musicians Gareth Laffely, Paul Avgerinos and others. "I attended Red Bluff High School, Shasta Col- lege, Chico State as a mu- sic major, earning a Bache- lor of Arts degree and grad- uate school in New York," Sullivan said. In college she specialized in piano for her music degree and went on to work with many artists in her field. Sullivan has worked with artist and musicians like Nancy Rumbel, Jeff Oster, Eugene Friesen and Will Ackerman, she said. Sullivan comes from long line of creative and hard working people. "My dad, John Purdy, was a school teacher at Bidwell School in Red Bluff for many years, and then on the school board when he retired. He still lives in Red Bluff," Sullivan said. "My mother, Carol Purdy, passed away several years ago. She was an author as well as a children and family therapist, and had a practice in Red Bluff for many years. My sister is na- tional best selling author, Sarah Fragoso." Sullivan's music can be found on iTunes, Pandora and Amazon.com.

"For some of you se- niors, this is the last hur- rah. Something you've been dreaming about since you were five. Let's make this special. Enjoy the day because it's for you. We're looking for a 1-0 (record). We want to start this season off on the right foot." While numbers have been as high as 55 fed at the breakfast, which is done for at least 10 weeks and longer if the team con- tinues past the regular season into playoffs, there were 39 at Friday's break- fast, Debbie Spangler said. "We couldn't do it with- out all of the parent help- ers that show up to work and those parents that do- nate food and other items," Scott Spangler said. "I'd like to thank them for all their help." Karri Garrison who has a son, Jason, on the team and another son who is only a few years away from high school, is one of many volunteers. She became involved partly because of her son and partly be- cause of her connection to the Spangler family, which she has known since her children attended Bend El- ementary School. "I specifically requested the days off to be able to help with the varsity team and Jr. Spartan events," Garrison said. Many of the players stopped to thank the par- ent volunteers as they went through the line. Angelo Trevino, #21, took time to shake hands with each volunteer as he thanked them. "I just think it's an amazing way to start the day," Hein said. "It's a neat introduction to playing football in Red Bluff. It's a small community and this gets the kids started off on the right foot." The team was sched- uled to play Central Valley at home Friday night for its first game of the sea- son. Coverage of that game can be found on redbluff- dailynews.com. The breakfasts can be a bit expensive, especially eggs, Scott Spangler said. Donations of eggs, break- fast meats and monetary donations are always wel- come. To donate, call 570- 8199.

By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO The water has been shut off at Cali- fornia's oldest prison af- ter an inmate was hospi- talized with a confirmed case of Legionnaires' dis- ease, officials said Friday. At least 16 other San Quentin State Prison in- mates are in outside hos- pitals with symptoms of the disease, which is con- sidered a severe type of pneumonia, said Dana Si- mas, a spokeswoman for the California Depart- ment of Corrections and Rehabilitation. They are being tested to confirm the disease as prison and Marin County health officials search for the cause. "They've been taken out for cautionary pur- poses," Simas said. "None are gravely ill." Symptoms typically include high fever, chills and a cough. Water for the prison's more than 3,700 inmates was shut off Thursday after the initial case was confirmed, and it will stay off until the source is found, she said. A recent outbreak that sickened 128 people and killed 12 in New York City was traced by the city's health commissioner to a Bronx hotel's rooftop air conditioning unit. Leg ionella bacte- ria grow in water and spread through water molecules, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The bacte- ria can cause a mild in- fection known as Pontiac fever or the more serious infection known as Le- gionnaires' disease. The disease occurs when contaminated wa- ter is inhaled into the lungs. It is considered particularly dangerous for older people and those with underlying health issues. Once officials identify the source, they gener- ally use higher-than-nor- mal levels of chlorine to kill the bacteria. Prison officials are bringing in portable toi- lets, bottled water for drinking and large wa- ter tanks. Simas could not immediately say how many are needed for thousands of inmates nor how much the emergency measures will cost. None of the prison's more than 1,200 employ- ees have been sickened. The prison's water comes from the Marin Municipal Water District and is stored in a prison water tank that can hold about 3 million gallons, Simas said.
