Themajorityoftheitems in it were already owned by the department. The main purchases were the in- verter and the LED lights. The generator was acquired through asset forfeiture. "Before, we had to stop and look to see who had different items we needed," Knox said. "Now we can get all the equipment in one place." Van FROMPAGE1 As the disease progresses, other symptoms appear such as insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallu- cinations, agitation, drool- ing, difficulty swallowing and fear of water. Death usually occurs within days of the onset of symptoms. The vast majority of ra- bies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each year occur in wild animals such as bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes, the release said. In Tehama County, rabies in bats is considered to be widespread. Domestic animals ac- count for less than 10% of the reported rabies cases with, dogs, cattle, and cats most often reported rabid. Wild animals, especially bats, are the most common source of human rabies in- fection in the United States. Most people believe that rabid animals can easily be spotted because they drool excessively and foam at the mouth, the release said. However, most an- imals will display these symptoms only in the lat- ter stages of infection, if at all. A better way to identify animals that pose a risk is to recognize unusual or ab- normal behavior. Rabid ani- mals, wild or domestic, may stagger, appear restless, be aggressive, change the tone of their barks or growls, or appear to be choking. Wild animals sometimes lose their fear of humans and act friendly. Animals that usually are active at night may become active during the day. Passive animals sometimes become fierce and aggressive. Preventingrabies Teach children not to handle unfamiliar ani- mals, even if they seem friendly. "Love your own, leave other animals alone" is a good principle for chil- dren to learn. Wash any wound from an animal thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention immedi- ately. Prevent bats from enter- ing living quarters. For in- formation on "bat-proof- ing" your home, contact Bat Conservation Interna- tional at P.O. Box 162603, Austin, Texas 78716, 1-800- 538-BATS, or www.batcon. org. If possible, have suspect animals tested for rabies if exposure to people or pets occurs. Contact Animal Control at 527-3439 or Pub- lic Health at 527-6824. Be a responsible pet owner by keeping pet vac- cinations current. Contact Animal Control if you see an animal behav- ing strangely or out during the day when it normally comes out only at night, such as bats, skunks and raccoons. Treating rabies Some people are afraid to seek treatment for expo- sure to rabies because they have heard about a long se- ries of painful shots in the stomach. However, this is no longer the case. "Post- exposure" treatment is cov- ered by most health insur- ance policies and consists of a series of four injec- tions over a two-week pe- riod that are administered in the arm. An injection of anti-ra- bies immunoglobulin is also administered the day of the first vaccination in order to boost the immune system with immediate antibodies to rabies, giving the vaccine time to induce the person's own antibodies over time. Most people do not re- act adversely to the rabies vaccine, but there may be some swelling, redness or soreness at the site of the injection. The anti-rabies treatment with vaccine and immuno- globulin has proven 100 percent effective if started within 14 days of exposure.

Rabies FROM PAGE 1 Every classroom adopts a college, learns about the college, learns a college cheer, and wears college attire. At our college ral- lies, classes sign up to do college cheers and songs." Rallies are held about every six weeks to help with the process of mak- ing students aware of what schools are out there as well as to get them ready by getting them thinking about going to a college or university, Gallagher said. At Friday's rally, Red Bluff High School college bound seniors wore their caps and gowns and, after marching in, introduced themselves, telling where they will attend college and sharing what they will be studying. "We are hoping that our students will make a con- nection with these seniors and see them as role mod- els," Gallagher said. Two Jackson Heights alumni were in the group, including Alexis Garcia who was presented with a $250 scholarship by the school. Funds for the schol- arship were raised through bake sales and other events during the year. Garcia will be attending college in Oregon, studying to be a radiologist. Mary Herrera is going to the University of Ne- vada in Reno to study po- litical science while Ryan Gamboa will attend Butte College as a beginning to studying criminal justice. Tessa Burch is planning to attend Chico State to study dental hygiene while Brit- tany Botell plans to at- tend college triple major- ing in physics, chemistry and math.

ArdenBullockOrr November 4, 1928 ~ March 29, 2016 Arden passed so very peacefully, at home in Oakland with her two daughters alongside her on March 29th after a very recent diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Born in Oakland in 1928 to William J. Bullock and Isabelle Da- venport Carman Taylor, she grew up riding her bicycle from the Rockridge area to Mosswood Park, Montclair's Lake Temescal and was even bold enough to ride through the Caldecott Tunnel – when it was just one tun- nel! After her father's death the family moved to Auburn where Arden graduated from Placer High School in 1946. Arden was married to Eugene (Gene) Weaver in 1949 and had two children, Gregory Eugene Weaver and Alison Marie Weaver. The family traveled extensively until Mr. Weaver's death in 1964. Arden then married Clyde Lee Orr in 1965 and became mother to Don Orr, Dorothy Lee Orr and Mark Orr. Together they built Volcano Country Camp Ground in Mineral, California. They enjoyed travel- ing the US by travel trailer and made many friends along the way. Arden and Clyde enjoyed nearly 50 years of happy married life until Clyde's death in 2015. Arden was a passionate quilter and won many prizes at quilt shows in the Quartzite area of Arizona, where they lived for 25 years. She had a very real talent for color combinations and was incredibly articulate in her crafting of art quality quilts. As well as quilting Arden was an ac- complished seamstress, crochet and knitting enthusiast. Arden is survived by her sister, Isabelle La Framboise of North Bay Ontario, and her 5 children, Greg Weaver, Ali- son (Sunny) Weaver, Don Orr, Dorothy Lee Orr-Rutter, and Mark Orr, along with 14 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.
