"This is due to the expiration of a contract with Valley Veteri- nary Clinic that was a three-year contract," said Tehama County Agriculture Commissioner Rick Gurrola during Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting. "We did a survey of the three local clin- ics and theirs is the lowest of all of the three local clinics. We're bringing the supporting data here today to set the hearing for two weeks. It wouldn't take effect un- til 30 days after the adoption." The existing contract expires on Feb. 28 and the prices for the spay and neuter services incor- porated into adoption fees have PUBLIC HEARING Animal adoption fee hike proposed The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO It's too soon to peg a damage estimate from days of rainy weather that turned streets into rivers and liv- ing rooms into swimming pools throughout Northern California, state and county officials said Fri- day. In San Benito County south of San Francisco, where dozens of people were rescued from flood- ing homes in a dramatic early morning operation this week, workers spent a dry day checking on damage including two streets and possibly a county bridge, said Kevin O'Neill, the county's emer- gency services manager. About 50 houses along Lov- ers Lane in the small rural town of Hollister suffered high water damage after a nearby creek over- flowed but no estimate had been calculated on the cost of the dam- age. WEATHER NorCal assesses storm damage Staff report RED BLUFF Tehama County Health Services Agency, Public Health Division is urging people who have not yet received a flu vaccine to protect themselves and get a flu shot as soon as possible. According to the California De- partment of Public Health, influ- enza activity is increasing in Cal- ifornia and has reached wide- spread levels. Because it can take up to two weeks to receive protec- tion from the vaccine, people are advised to receive the vaccination as soon as they can. Vaccine is available through your primary medical care pro- viders and at some local pharma- cies and grocery stores. For indi- viduals 6 months or older, it is available at the Tehama County Health Services Agency, Public Health Division offices in Red Bluff and Corning. The Red Bluff office is at 1860 Walnut St., Building C. Walk in hours are 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekdays and, additionally, 2-4:30 p.m. Tuesdays. It can be reached at 527-6824. The Corning office is at 275 So- lano St. Appointments are avail- able 8 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. Mondays; 1-4:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 8 a.m. to noon Fridays. It can be reached at 824-4890. Vaccines can qualify for a slid- ing fee scale based on income el- igibility. Payments are due at the time of service and can be made in the form of cash or personal checks. The best way to protect your- self and others is with an annual flu shot. In addition to the vac- cine, it is important to practice good health habits and take pro- tective action to prevent contract- ing or transmitting the flu. Wash or sanitize hands often, especially after touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Stay home when you are sick, especially if you are coughing. Avoid close face-to-face con- tact with persons who have re- spiratory illness. Unlike other vaccine prevent- able diseases, you need to get a flu shot every year to be protected against influenza. It is not too late to receive this year's flu vaccina- tion and protect yourself and your family.

The Lord's Table and Sacred Heart Church, which is a spon- sor of the program, are work- ing on finding a new location with the hopes of continuing the program while the Vine- yard Church focuses on provid- ing resources to those in need with long-term and more sus- tainable help. For more than 22 years, the Vineyard Church has been involved in hosting the free daily lunches, or Lord's Table, which is a ministry out of Sa- cred Heart Catholic Church in Red Bluff. The church is now looking for new opportunities to help the homeless and those in need. "Thousands upon thousands of meals have been provided to anyone who desired a free meal and we're very thank- ful for how we have been able to partner with such a great group of people, especially Lee Vidaure, the Lord's Table direc- tor," said Vineyard Pastor Luke Geraty. During Geraty's time at the church he said he has spent a significant amount of time dis- cussing the program with lo- cals, the police department, business owners and other members of the community to help the church answer the fol- lowing questions: Is the feed- HOMELESS VINEYARD'S LUNCH PROGRAM TO END PHOTOSBYHEATHERHOELSCHER—DAILYNEWS The Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church at 738Walnut St. The Lord's Table Vineyard Church servers, cooks and security guard who make the lunches a reality are pictured, from le , Liz Hoover, Sherry Johnson, Dondi Russ, Jackie Howard and Patti Stevens.
