The focus this year was on reaching children in the outlying areas, some of whom were unable to take advantage of other give- aways due to issues such as transportation, he said. "This is a fantastic event made possibly by the vol- unteers and organizations," said CHP Red Bluff Area Commander Lt. Lou Aviles. "It's nice to have our offi- cers have a chance for pos- itive interaction with the kids." This was the second year that Tehama Together helped sponsor the event, Volunteer Executive Direc- tor Orle Jackson said. "We're pleased to carry on a 25-year tradition," Jackson said. "We're grate- ful for the help from CHP, Toys for Tots, Walmart, the Gold Exchange, the Red Bluff Community Center Auxiliary and Brookdale Red Bluff. We'd also like to recognize North Valley Service for being a drop off point and for provid- ing transportation today as well as thank the Ante- lope School District for bus- ing in kids from Manton."

STABBING SPREE 3 people knifed in Fresno; suspect arrested By David Bauder The Associated Press NEW YORK The Miss Uni- verse pageant and host Steve Harvey doubled down on the apologies Monday after an excruci- ating live television mo- ment — announcing incor- rectly that Miss Colombia had won and then taking the crown from her head to give to a rival from the Philippines. The fallout from Sun- day's show made Harvey an online symbol of "oops" moments, drew a reaction from Colombia's president and even a gloating tweet from Donald Trump, the pageant's former owner. As televised on Fox, the contest was down to Ari- adna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philip- pines when Harvey, a first- time Miss Universe host, proclaimed Gutierrez the winner after a long dra- matic pause. Music swelled, Gutier- rez was fitted for a sash, given flowers and a crown was placed on her head. That made it two straight Miss Universe winners for Colombia, where the pag- eants are taken seriously. She bathed in applause for nearly two minutes before Harvey slowly made his way back onto the stage. "I have to apologize," he said. "The first runner-up is Colombia." The camera switched to a bewildered-looking Wurtzbach, who came back on the stage to get the crown as the same cel- ebratory music repeated. Harvey said she'd be tak- ing her first walk as Miss Universe, but mostly she stood immobile. A woman stood in between the two contestants, trying to com- fort Arevalo by rubbing her back. Two minutes later, the comedian who hosts his own daytime talk show as well as the game show "Family Feud" returned, saying "let me just take control of this." Harvey explained on the air that he misread the card he was given with the names of the winners. Colombia was listed as the first runner- up, and he'd been con- fused with how it was written. He held up the card for the camera. "It is my mistake," he said. "Still, it's a great night. Please don't hold it against the ladies. We feel very badly, but it's still a great night." Harvey later tweeted an apology to the women and viewers. "I feel terri- ble," he wrote. The Miss Universe organization also issued an apology on Monday. Wurtzbach later said she was happy to win, but confused and concerned for her rival. She said she tried to approach her backstage, but the Colom- bian contestant was cry- ing and surrounded by a crowd of women. "I did not take the crown from her," Wurtzbach said. Celebrations quickly turned to anger in Colom- bia, where the hashtag "Respect the Crown" was the country's top trending topic on Twitter. Even the president was upset. "They put the crown on her head," President Juan Manuel Santos said Mon- day. "The photos are there to prove it. To me, as a Co- lombian, she is still Miss Universe." It was the pageant's first time on Fox, and the Nielsen company said the contest was seen in the United States by 6.2 mil- lion people — strong num- bers for the network. The previous Miss Universe on NBC, in January, reached 7.7 million people.
