FAIRGROUND Re gi on al poultry sh ow h eld in Red Bluff By Lisa Leff The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO An unprece- dented five-day strike by Cali- fornia State University profes- sors was postponed indefinitely on Thursday as the 23-campus system and its faculty union an- nounced they had reached a ten- tative deal in a months-long sal- ary dispute. The California Faculty Associa- tion and Cal State officials saidin a jointannouncementThursdaythat details of the agreement would not be disclosed until Friday. But they said a proposed contract would be presented to union members for a vote in the weeks ahead. The faculty association, which represents 26,000 professors, lec- turers, librarians, counselors and coaches, had scheduled a system- wide strike for April 13-15 and April 18-19 to protest the size of the pay increases the university planned to give its members this year. SALARY DISPUTE CS U, f ac ul ty union reach te nt at iv e agreement By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF In an annual study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in collaboration with the University of Wiscon- sin's Population Health Institute, Tehama County is ranked 37 out of 57 in health outcomes includ- ing length and quality of life and 46 out of 57 in health factors, such as health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors and physical environment. In 2015 Tehama County ranked just 47 out of 57 for over- all health outcomes, according to the press release by the Te- hama County Public Health Divi- sion. The improvement this year is the result of a downward trend in premature death. The study showed a slight im- provement from last year's rank- ing of 47, now 46, for health fac- tors. The report found that both statewide and nationally rural areas tend to score lower than their urban counterparts, ac- cording to the release. "This is not surprising when you consider that many urban areas tend to have a diverse eco- nomic base, which helps reduce poverty, one of the key contribu- tors to poor health," said Minnie Sager, public health director of the Tehama County Health Ser- vices Agency. Areas that have remained the same or showed improvement are in preventable hospital stays, diabetic monitoring, mammog- raphy screening, violent crime and air pollution, according to the release. Adopting healthy behaviors can start as early as infancy and last throughout a lifetime, mak- ing prevention a key strategy to improving health, according to the release. Throughout the county there are a number of prevention ef- forts taking place to address some of the challenges found in the study.
