By holding the event at the fairgrounds, which are exempt from the county’s permit policies, organizers effectively bypass the planning department.

The North American Olive Oil Association, which represents most olive oil importers, has conducted its own tests for years on the products it imports, and found prob- lems with only one per- cent of samples, said its president, Bob Bauer. He also questioned the objectivity of a study financed in part by Cali- fornia olive oil producers. ‘‘The research was done by academics, but with funds supplied by the industry,’’ Bauer said. ‘‘When you look at results that are so different from Eidman was still in talks with festival organizers, but said he would be will- ing to host the event. Eidman compared the Garden Party to the con- troversial World Hemp Expo Extravaganja, which was held in a rural neigh- borhood outside Red Bluff. “I keep thinking, if Tehama County’s going to host these festivals, they should do these things in a place that can handle them,” Eidman said. Festival attendees were initially invited to camp all five days. The 110-acre fairgrounds could accom- modate at least 120 RVs and another 100 tents without the fire danger the Corning site’s neighbors feared, Eidman said. But the festival will have to work around scheduled events at the fairgrounds including Debbie Carlisi counted a total of 180 paid visitors by around 8:30 p.m., more than double the previous year’s turnout. “It’s where our kids swim,” said County Counsel William Murphy, volunteering his time as a wine pourer on behalf of the local Rotary Club.

But the Blues for the Pool’s coffers have a ours, it does raise some questions.’’ The head of the Olive Oil Chemistry and Stan- dardization Unit at the International Olive Coun- cil, based in Spain, was not available for comment. The study found that olive oil from Whole Foods, the country’s largest organic food retail- er, failed to meet two of the nine chemical parame- ters established for extra- virgin olive oil by the IOC. The company said it had not reviewed the study, but that it stands behind their 365 Everyday Value 100 percent Italian Extra-Vir- gin Olive Oil.

There have long been questions about the quality of some of the olive oil being sold as extra virgin, said Flynn. Olive oil production is labor intensive and costly. Poor quality oils can be made from olives that are too ripe or damaged. Extra-virgin olive oil is also fragile — it is suscep- tible to oxidation and degradation of its aromatic compounds due to aging, or to exposure to high temperatures and light. The delicate nature of the production has led to adulteration, where extra- virgin olive oil was blend- ed with cheaper, refined olive oil, or with seed or nut oils. The discovery of altered oils in the 1990s led the European Union, which produces much of the world’s supply, to cre- ate an investigative task force to look into the mat- ter. The results of the sur- vey weren’t surprising to Ruth Mercurio, who owns and runs We Olive, a Cali- fornia chain of stores spe- cializing in olive oil. ‘‘It’s sad for consumers that there is fraud out there,’’ said Mercurio, who has trained in-house tasters to help verify the quality of their product. ‘‘It’s a problem, and maybe this will get folks to perk up and listen.’’ Alli, 16, added the peak to a tour of major parks that included Yosemite.

More high heat for LAarea, state probes deaths LOS ANGELES (AP) — Temperatures surged around the state Saturday as Southern California contin- ued its rare high-humidity heat wave and state officials investigated a rash of recent farm worker deaths believed tied to the weather. With a sultry, unstable airmass refusing to budge, forecasters predicted close to record temperatures and no break from the heat until Monday. Sunday is expect- ed to be slightly cooler. The National Weather Service issued an excessive- heat warning through Satur- day night for mountains and valleys. No record highs were reported but the mercury topped out at 104 degrees in Woodland Hills and 102 in Pomona. Triple-digit tem- peratures were the norm across the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys and in desert areas. Southern California Edi- son said about 3,700 cus- tomers briefly lost power because of heat-related out- ages. Most of the outages occurred in the areas of Corona, Santa Clarita, Upland, Norco and Man- hattan Beach. The unstable conditions have not yet led to brush fires like earlier in the week. One of those, a 503-acre wildfire near Temecula, was pronounced fully contained Saturday morning, River- side County fire officials said. Another, a 647-acre blaze near Hemet, was 50 percent surrounded, they said. A lightning-sparked grass fire in a rural area of Kern County near Bodfish was 80 percent contained after consuming 560 acres. A brush fire near the ranch once owned by Ronald Reagan was knocked down after burning 10 acres and sending thick smoke over mountains north of Santa Barbara. State occupational safety officials are already investi- gating five worker deaths since June as possibly heat- related. Two employees — a farm worker in Kern Coun- ty and construction worker in San Bernardino County — died Wednesday, as leg- islators were meeting in Sacramento to review the state’s heat protection regu- lations. Cal-OSHA spokes- woman Erika Monterroza said her Division of Occu- pational Safety and Health is reviewing whether load- ing heavy boxes of table grapes in 95 degree heat led to the death Wednesday of 54-year-old Rodolfo Cebal- los Carrillo in Arvin. It also is investigating the deaths of a 49-year-old Tulare Coun- ty plum picker who died June 11; a 33-year-old farmworker who died June 29 in Indio, and a 57-year- old farm mechanic who died July 12 in Firebaugh. Current rules let farm workers take short breaks and require that employers provide drinking water and shade. However, United Farm Workers National Vice President Armando Elenes said some workers hesitate to ask for breaks because they might lose money or appear unfit. Many of the workers are paid based on the number of boxes they load. shows that treating people with the AIDS virus can provide a powerful bonus: It cuts the risk that they will infect others. New infections plummeted in parts of Canada as more people went on AIDS drugs, which lowered the amount of virus they had and the chances they would spread it, the study found. For every 100 people with HIV who started taking AIDS drugs, new infections dropped by 3 percent in British Colum- bia, where the study was done. The number of new infections there has been cut in half since 1996, matching a rise in treat- ment. ‘‘The more people you put on Treating HIV also prevents its spread, study finds Learn more online: Provocative new research in Vienna. The results suggest that Canada’s policy of free AIDS care is having a double benefit: to the people being treated and to the public’s health. In the United States, the study should boost efforts to more aggressively test and treat people, and to plug funding gaps that keep many from get- ting care now, AIDS experts said. An estimated 1.1 million Americans have HIV, and about 20 percent of them don’t know it. About 55,000 new infections occur each year in the U.S., a number that has held steady for a decade. therapy, the less transmission there is,’’ said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The drop in new cases in Canada ‘‘likely could not be explained by any- thing else,’’ he said. The U.S. government helped pay for the study. Results were published online Sunday by the British medical journal Lancet and were being presented at the International AIDS Conference Finding ways to prevent HIV infection is critical because there is no vaccine or cure for AIDS. Recommended treatment is a combination of medicines that lower the amount of virus that infected people harbor, often to undetectable levels. A study a decade ago in Africa found that people with these very low levels of virus were less likely to infect others. Treating pregnant women with HIV lowers the amount of virus they have and the risk they’ll pass it on to their babies. Lancet: http://www.thelancet.com AIDS conference: http://www.aids2010.org and http://www.kff.org/aids2010 The new study is the first clear evidence that the same principle holds true on a popula- tion level, in everyday commu- nity settings. It was led by Dr. Julio Mon- taner, director of the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS in Vancouver. Researchers used patient reg- istries from British Columbia’s universal health care system to track HIV tests, new cases, treat- ments and virus levels since 1996, when modern AIDS drugs became available. The number of infected peo- ple getting treatment rose from 837 in 1996 to 5,413 in 2009. The number of new HIV diag- noses fell from 702 to 338 per year during that time. The amount of virus that patients harbored also dropped and was directly related to fewer new cases being diagnosed in the population. The trends were largely dri- ven by more treatment and fewer new cases among injection drug users, as sharing needles raises the risk of spreading HIV. Rates of other sexually spread diseases rose during the study period, suggesting that safer sex behaviors were not responsible for the drop in new HIV infec- tions — treatment was. ‘‘There’s an ethical impera- tive’’ to provide care to people with HIV, and finding that this helps prevention ‘‘is an added bonus,’’ said Dr. Jonathan Mer- min, the federal Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention’s AIDS prevention chief. ‘‘It’s not enough on its own to stop the epidemic’’ and must be combined with safe sex and other prevention strategies, he said. Mitchell Warren, executive director of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, a New York-based nonprofit group that has worked toward devel- oping a vaccine and other pre- vention tools, said the study was ‘‘quite compelling’’ and ‘‘very strong evidence’’ that treatment cuts the risk of spreading infection. Nearly every country, includ- ing the U.S., has waiting lines for people to get treatment, he noted. And progress with this approach depends on getting more people tested. Aggressive efforts to test and quickly treat anyone found to have HIV are under way in Washington, New York and San Francisco. The National Insti- tutes of Health also has a study under way in seven countries, including the United States, to see if HIV treatment helps pre- vent spread of the virus to an uninfected partner.
