The caregiver is an important part of the lives of those who have cancer, Williams said. "We honor you (caregivers) for your loving hands and warm heart," Williams said. Honorary Survivor Chairwoman Rhonda Gleason, who is new to Tehama County, shared the story of her journey. "The best thing about my story is that I'm here whining about it," Gleason said. "I come from a long line of people who served in the military, so cancer chose the wrong person to mess with." In May 2007, she finished her first Boobie Run and was working for the Red Cross with no idea that things were about to change, Gleason said. In July 2007, Gleason found a spot in the area of her armpit that set off bells and whistles in hear head, but a visit to the doctor showed nothing on the mammogram and she was told she was too young for cancer, come back if it got bigger, she said. It wasn't until 10 months later, on her first day of medical school, that she got the news that she had cancer, Gleason said. At first, all she wanted to do was crawl between two mattresses and hide from the world, she said. "I began to realize it wasn't just me," Gleason said. "This also affects my family." Everyone was running up to her saying things like "I'm sorry my aunt or grandmother died" and Gleason found herself thinking "Why talk about death? There's so much life and there's a battle to be won or lost," she said. Going through her journey has made her appreciate all the volunteers for American Cancer Society including Relay For Life participants who helped her fight back against cancer, Gleason said. American Cancer Society (ACS) Regional Staff Partner Shelley Gregoire gave an update on progress made. "I have loved relaying with you for three years," Gregoire said. "You're such an incredible bunch. The American Cancer Society annual report was released today and it shows a 20 percent decline in cancer mortality since the peak in 1995. That means more than 400 birthdays. It's news like this that gives me hope that we are making a difference in the fight." Gregoire talked about a unique opportunity for anyone who has never had cancer to help out. The ACS Cancer Prevention Study, which was used to discover a correlation between smoking and Fireball lights up sky over California, Nevada RENO, Nev. (AP) — An expert says a fireball seen across a wide swath of the West from Reno to San Francisco might have broken up over the Pacific Ocean. Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society says his New York-based group has received about 50 reports from people in California and Nevada who saw the brilliant streak of light at 5:21 Thursday morning. Lunsford says while most reports about the fireball came from the San Francisco Bay area, it also was seen around Reno, San Diego and Redding, Calif. Most people described seeing an intense flash of blue or white light heading from east to west that lit up the landscape. Lunsford says the fireball might have been the size of a small car, and it disintegrated five to 50 miles above Earth. Court: Calif. lawmakers violated law to help Brown SACRAMENTO (AP) — A state appeals court has ruled that California lawmakers violated the state Constitution when they passed a bill aimed at giving Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative top billing on the November ballot. The 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento ruled Friday that lawmakers were wrong to sidestep a two-thirds vote requirement on AB 1499 last year. Democrats passed the bill on a majority vote last June. They said the bill that moved the governor's measure ahead of other initiatives on the ballot was related to the budget and could be enacted immediately. Republicans were unsuccessful in trying to stop the bill from taking effect before voters approved Proposition 30 in November. The appeals court said that while the lawsuit is moot, lawmakers can't make that maneuver in the future. FAIR Continued from page 1A to ensure that the education program continued. "That's a huge event," Dagorret said of Education Day. "It's good for the kids and probably 50 percent of them wouldn't see fair, much less a lamb or anything else that goes on here, without it." Moving the date would cause too much conflict for the livestock auction and if it weren't for his role in helping the children he wouldn't come to the fair if it were in July, because of the heat, whereas he might in Sep- tember," Junior Livestock Auction President Mike Collins said. Collins' event was up 40 animals at the 2012 sale and he has found that even with school and football and other activities, those who want to participate in the sale make arrangements to be there, he said. "It's my personal opinion that we've purged anyone from the July fair and the kids are used to it," Collins said. "I really, really don't want to lose out on the Education Day. When we started out there were 100 kids and now we've got 600 plus. That's our future, guys, so what- GUNMAN Continued from page 1A One of the calls came from Cutten Elementary, he said. "I think everyone's on edge because of what happened (in Newtown, Conn.)," Knight said. "We're very happy nobody was injured." The man was holding a 12gauge Remington 870 shotgun above his head when deputies arrived. He was wearing a camouflage tactical vest loaded with sixteen rounds of 12-gauge buckshot and slugs. The shotgun was unloaded. lung cancer, is getting ready to start its third study, she said. Registration for the study, which will be screening participants 4-6 p.m. on April 23, can be done online at cancer.org, Gregoire said. Stefanie Linsley was introduced as the 2013 Hero of Hope for the Great Valley North region. Upon hearing the words that she had cancer, she too wanted to crawl between two mattresses, Linsley said. "I wanted to pretend it didn't happen, but you find a way to fight back and become determined to beat it," Linsley said. "I was lucky that mine was caught early because it hurt so I'm thankful it hurt." She wasn't 40 yet and normally the first mammograms are not done until women are in their 40s, Linsley said. Early detection is key and she urged women from 21 to 30 to have an exam done when they get their pap smears every three years, Linsley said. "Any test that can be done to diagnose cancer I recommend it," Linsley said. "That's the thing — early detection means a better survival rate. Follow through and get exams even if you're afraid. Stay on top of things. I think it's all of our dreams that one day there will be no cancer." People can help fight ever we do we can't lose that." Red Bluff resident John Sidwell questioned why the date change was being looked at. "I'm just an old country boy, but my daddy always told me never kick a winning horse in the ass," Sidwell said. The fairboard was looking into changing dates because Friday night is a big night for football, which affects attendance at fair events on Friday. But moving the dates to summer would just conflict with other sports such as little league, Dagorret said. Carnivals and vendors He reportedly told deputies, "I am on the way to the courthouse to make a point that law enforcement can not protect kids and I am going to protect the kids." Cutten Elementary School District Superintendent Julie Osborne said a student at her school reported seeing the man walk by. The school secretary called 911, and before the school could go on lockdown, deputies arrested the man just down the street, she said. "It happened so fast," Osborne said. "The community probably heard about this before I did." She said there were no students outside when the man walked cancer by being on the planning committee, being a team captain or participating on a team or as a sponsor. Fight Back Chairwoman Morgan Franklin ended the evening thanking those present for their help in ridding the world of a horrible disease. "A huge thank you to you guys," Franklin said. "It cannot be said enough. To everyone here and those who can't be here you are Relay For Life and you make a huge difference. Some of you are seasoned veterans and some are new, but I guarantee once you are here you will never go back because you are saving lives." Franklin said she relays in part because she lost her grandmother to cancer, but also so that no one else has to face the disease. "At Relay I meet survivors that are two and four years old and I said that's not going to happen anymore," Franklin said. "I invite every one of you to join me." The next captains meeting is Feb. 15 and the Relay is scheduled for May 18 and 19.

Fairboard President Ray Bianchi initially moved to bring the item back for further discussion at the next meeting, however, after hearing about the lack of dates said he would cancel it unless it was brought back by another director. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com.

Osborne said her school's lockdown procedures are up-to-date. "Parents are informed, and teachers know them," she said. All schools are in a heightened state of alert, in light of recent events, Osborne said. "Our school's first priority, no matter the climate, is to keep students safe," she said. Knight said the man has never been arrested before, and was not a person known to law enforcement. RATE Continued from page 1A ket, said economist Steven Levy of the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy. He said the state has made important gains since a year ago as its economy continues to rebound. ''Looking at the past 12 months California has slightly outpaced the nation in job growth, which is expected to continue in 2013,'' he said. ''While the state benefits from a surge in technology jobs, a rebound in tourism and rising construction levels, California's growth is still tied to the uncertainties in the national economy around fiscal challenges and the slower world economy growth.'' Mining and logging, manufacturing, government and other services have continued to see falling job numbers over the last year, losing more than 51,000 jobs, the state report said. Government lost the highest number of jobs, about 31,500 in the last year. Man arrested with short barrel shotgun A 26-year-old transient was arrested Thursday after he ran into a deputy inspecting his vehicle while carrying a rifle. Around 11:30 a.m. a Tehama County Sheriff's deputy was inspecting a suspicious vehicle parked near Thomas Creek on Rawson Road, according to a department press release. While the deputy was inspecting the orange Honda Civic, Terrance Lawson walked up from the creek carrying a rifle. The deputy advised Lawson to place the rifle on the ground. Lawson complied. Lawson then consented to a search of his person. No weapons were found. The deputy then asked if Lawson had any other weapons. Lawson told the deputy he had a short-barreled shotgun in his vehicle. A consent search of the vehicle turned up a loaded shotgun with a 15-and a-half-inch barrel that measured 19-and one-quarter inches overall under the driver's seat. Lawson was arrested for possession of a short barrel shotgun and concealing a firearm in a vehicle. His bail was $18,000. Calif. lawmaker expense payments flow over holiday SACRAMENTO (AP) — California lawmakers adjourned Friday for the long holiday weekend, but they will keep getting daily expense payments even while they're not in Sacramento. Lawmakers adjusted their normal schedules to hold floor sessions on Friday and Tuesday to keep qualifying for the per diems. They typically meet Monday and Thursday. Those who live outside the Sacramento area are paid $142 a day for expenses so long as the Legislature does not take a break for more than three days. Switching the schedules will cost taxpayers about $65,000 to cover the four days starting Friday. For most of the Legislature's 120 members, the payments add about $30,000 a year to the nation's highest legislative salaries. California lawmakers are paid a base salary of $90,525 despite taking a 5 percent pay cut this year, though unlike lawmakers in some other states they do not receive pensions. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said the schedule swap is justified because members' expenses, like renting a second home in Sacramento, don't disappear when the members leave town. ''The per diem is not some, you know, bonus. It's to cover living expenses,'' said Steinberg, a Democrat who doesn't collect per diem because he lives in Sacramento. He said the payments won't further damage the Legislature's already poor showing in opinion polls. Lawmakers have made tough decisions in recent years that eliminated the state's multibillion budget deficit, he said, actions that should raise their stature. ''I feel very good about where the Legislature is right now,'' he said. ''I think our performance speaks for itself.'' Lawmakers conducted little business during their Friday floor sessions other than honoring the memory of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The Senate also confirmed Gov. Jerry Brown's appointment of Mark Ghilarducci as secretary of the California Emergency Management Agency, unanimously and without debate. They won't start considering legislation for weeks, until bills are introduced and heard in committees. In the meantime, Steinberg said he has begun inviting guests to address senators on the topic of California's future, ''so we use our time here on the floor as productively as possible.''
