DEATHNOTICES inexchangeforthemkeep- ing it open as a public park during non-school hours. This is something that is re- ally important to Sen. Jim Nielsen's office and they wanted the unanimous sup- port of the (Supervisors) and the school board." The park was acquired using a land grant, but the district has leased it since 1993, maintaining it and improving it, including building a track and updat- ing play equipment, with county approval, Goodwin said. The district would like to do other improve- ments, but it is difficult to get grants or loans when it does not own the property. Supervisor Steve Cham- blin, whose district covers the Bowman area, has been talking with people in his district and has not heard anyone who is against it, he said, especially since it will remain a public park when- ever school is not in session. "It's been a work of pa- tience, but it's a good way to go," said Supervisor Burt Bundy, who was on the board at the time the prop- erty was acquired. The school board is ex- pected to send a letter of support for the legislation, Senate Bill 1027, on March 8, according to the staff re- port. Park FROM PAGE 1 I T only T A K E S A S P A R K .

He was in eighth grade when he first was introduced to a computer and in college be- fore they were in the class- room. "Back then we did our own research not having Google and yet even there you still need the same things, to read well and critically, to get the infor- mation you need," Ward said. Los Molinos resident Betty Morales came to read to students, which she has been doing for 8 to 10 years, and brought her four-year- old grandson, Lewis Barker, with her. "I love literacy and I love the opportunity to read to kids," Morales said. "This is a fun way to spread liter- acy and I have a whole kids library to choose from so I picked a few and let them select the books to read." Sheriff Dave Hencratt came to read to the older stu- dents in Falyn Beshwate's class and picked the book "Strega Nona," which trans- lates to Grandma Witch, for his fourth or fifth year as a guest reader. "From the time my kids were born until they could read on their own my wife and I read to them every night," Hencratt said. "I do this for a selfish reason. It's fun and it's good to see a better side of the world. The kids want to learn and have this excitement. It's a lot of fun to be able to get to still read to kids." In addition to readers, each student at both Los Molinos and Vina elemen- tary schools got a visit from Los Molinos School Board President Jill Botts, who gave out a book to each student. Los Molinos High School students will get books later, Botts said. At Richfield Elementary School, students celebrated with Wack Wednesday and students and staff wore pa- jamas while interim Super- intendent Steve Kelish and co-administrator Mancill Tiss read to children in the gym. Bidwell School Principal Suzanne Adkins dressed as the Cat in the Hat to visit various classrooms and there were several guest readers throughout the day. Jackson Heights hosted a week of activities and guest readers, including Sen. Jim Nielsen. Read FROM PAGE 1 PHOTOS BY JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Older students dance to "Watch Me."

Zika virus is primarily transmitted to people by the same mosquitoes that can transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses. The mosquitoes have black and white stripes and are ag- gressive daytime biters, but they may also bite at night. These mosquitoes — which are not native to California — have been identified in several counties in South- ern and Central California, but not in Tehama County at this time. There are no known cases where the mosquitoes were carrying the Zika virus in this state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued a travel alert for people traveling to re- gions and certain countries where Zika virus transmis- sion is ongoing. For addi- tional details on the travel alert and the list of coun- tries affected, visit the CDC Zika Travel Information page at http://wwwnc.cdc. gov/travel/page/zika-travel- information. People traveling to these countries with known Zika virus risk should take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, including us- ing insect repellents con- taining DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon euca- lyptus, or para-menthane- diol for long lasting pro- tection. If you use both sunscreen and insect re- pellent, apply the sunscreen first and then the repel- lent. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeed- ing can and should choose an EPA-registered insect re- pellent and use it according to the product label. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Use air conditioning or window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside. If you are not able to protect yourself from mosquitoes in- sideyourhomeorhotel,sleep under a mosquito bed net. Help reduce the num- ber of mosquitoes outside by emptying standing wa- ter from containers such as flowerpots or buckets. The CDC and CDPH have issued guidance for preg- nant women recommend- ing they avoid countries where Zika virus is circu- lating. Pregnant women who cannot avoid travel to these countries should talk to their health care provider and take steps to avoid mosquito bites. The CDC and CDPH have pro- vided guidance for physi- cians on the evaluation of pregnant women and in- fants who may have been exposed to Zika virus. Most people infected with Zika virus will not develop symptoms. If symptoms do develop, they are usually mild and include fever, rash and eye redness. If you have returned from an affected country and have fever with joint pain, rash within two weeks, or any other symp- toms following your return; please contact your medical provider and tell the doc- tor where you have trav- eled. While there is no spe- cific treatment for Zika virus disease, the best recommen- dations are supportive care, rest, fluids and fever relief. ThereisconcernthatZika virus may be transferred from a pregnant woman to her baby during pregnancy or delivery. Preliminary re- ports suggest that Zika vi- rus may cause abnormal fe- tal brain development. This possibility has not been con- firmed and is being investi- gated.

Mosquitoes FROM PAGE 1 five open police officer po- sitions allowed, having 22 employed out of 27, there has been limited success. It is expected that hiring ser- vice officers may be more successful because the fo- cus of the position doesn't include the physical require- ments and danger that is as- sociated with being a police officer. The positions will not re- quire an academy certificate but will require in-house training, Sanders said. The department is continuing its efforts in finding officers for the now three, instead of five, police officer positions open and will move forward in the search for the three community service officers.
