DEATH NOTICES spokesman said it was not known why Besana lost control of his truck, but three or four witnesses said they saw Besana veer off the road slowly as if he was distracted or asleep. Besana told the CHP he didn't remember anything prior to the incident. According to the CHP, it didn't appear the man had been distracted by a phone or other distrac- tions. Without witnesses seeing the man physically asleep that statement could not be proven, how- ever, it is very possible fa- tigue and weather condi- tions played a roll in the crash. Drugs and alcohol did not appear to be a factor in this incident. Crash FROM PAGE 1 was later determined to be another suspect from Ran- cho Teahma Reserve that had fled the scene after the robbery attempt, ac- cording to the release. Pa- niagua also died from in- juries received during the attempted robbery. A person of interest, identified as Alfonso An- tonia Vargas-Tapia, in the robbery attempt is still outstanding and was last seen fleeing the Chevron Station on foot when Pan- iagua collapsed due to his gunshot injuries. This is an ongoing in- vestigation and further information will be pro- vided as it is developed. Anyone with information regarding the robbery and homicide or informa- tion concerning Vargas, please contact the Tehama County Sheriff's Detective Unit at 529-7920. Shooting FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press SANTA MONICA A South- ern California school closed Friday to try to halt further spread of suspected norovi- rus contagion that appeared among a large group of stu- dentswhoattendedascience camp at Yosemite National Park last week. TheSantaMonica-Malibu Unified School District said 190 seventh-grade students from John Adams Middle School,alongwithsomepar- ents and teachers, were po- tentially exposed to the gas- trointestinal illness during the five-day Yosemite trip. The district said it is working with the Los An- geles County Department of Public Health to contain the illness, which appeared to have spread to some John Adams students who didn't go on the trip and through siblings to other Santa Mon- ica schools. The health agency "cur- rently believes that this originated in Yosemite, po- tentially exposing students from dozens of school dis- tricts," the district's state- ment said. The students on the trip returnedtoSantaMonicaon Jan. 27 and did not return to the campus until last Mon- day. The highly contagious norovirus can be transmit- ted from an infected person, contaminated food and wa- ter or by touching a contam- inated surface, according to the federal Centers for Dis- ease Control. Infections cause inflam- mations of the stomach and intestines. Symptoms in- clude nausea, vomiting, di- arrhea and fever. All ages are susceptible to the virus, and the symptoms can become serious for very young patients and older people, the CDC said. DISEASE Southern California school closes due to contagion NICK UT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Children stand outside John Adams Middle School in Santa Monica that remains closed as crews scrub surfaces in an effort to eradicate any traces of a gastrointestinal virus. By Alan Fram and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press WASHINGTON Republi- cans are increasingly talk- ing about repairing Presi- dent Barack Obama's health care overhaul, a softer tone that comes as their march to fulfill a keystone cam- paign promise encounters disunity, drooping momen- tum and uneasy voters. GOP lawmakers insist they haven't abandoned their goal of repeal, though they face lingering disputes about whether that should come before, after or simul- taneously with a replace- ment effort. Republicanstriumphantly shoved a budget through Congress three weeks ago that gave committees until Jan. 27 to write bills disman- tling the law and substitut- ing a Republican plan. Ev- eryone knew that deadline meant little, but now lead- ers are talking about mov- inginitiallegislationbyearly spring. Andasthepartystruggles to translate its long-time po- litical mantra into legisla- tion that can pass Congress, some Republicans are using gentler language. "It's repairing the dam- age Obamacare has caused. It's more accurate" than re- peal and replace, said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., whochairstheSenatehealth committee. He noted that President Donald Trump and many Republicans like popular provisions like re- quiring family policies to cover children up to age 26 and said, "We're not repeal- ing all of Obamacare." Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., who chairs the House En- ergy and Commerce Com- mittee, said Republicans are "laying the foundation to rebuild America's health care markets as we disman- tle Obamacare." The refined phraseology is endorsed by Frank Luntz, the longtime GOP rhetoric guru. He credited Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., with the idea, saying by email, "He was right. Americans want the ACA repealed and re- paired,"usingtheAffordable Care Act's acronym. The shifting language comes with battles raging overTrump'sSupremeCourt and Cabinet nominees. That and controversies surround- ing his temporary refugee ban have sapped energy from the health care drive. It also comes with polls spotlighting GOP risks. A re- cent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Re- search poll found 53 percent want to keep Obama's law in some form, and 56 percent concernedthatrepealmeans many will lose insurance. VicePresidentMikePence stood by the tougher sound- ing "repeal and replace" lan- guage on FOX News Chan- nel's "Hannity" Thursday, saying "We are absolutely committed" to doing both simultaneously. HouseSpeakerPaulRyan, R-Wis., says Republicans want to "rescue" the health system and Thursday em- braced all of the competing phraseology. "The best way to repair a health care system is to repeal and replace Obam- acare," he said. Talk of repair dismays other Republicans, includ- ing hard-line conservatives. They say the GOP pledge since Democrats enacted the 2010 law was to repeal it, later amended to "repeal and replace." "You've got to repeal the law that's the problem. That's what we told the vot- ers we were going to do," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R- Ohio, a leader of the conser- vative House Freedom Cau- cus. Jordan cites problems that have accompanied the statute, including rising pre- miums and deductibles and diminished choices in some individual insurance mar- kets. He says health care would improve if Obama's law vanishes. "If you start from that premise, repair shouldn't be your mindset," Jordan said. Democrats say the GOP's evolvinglanguagesignalsre- treat. They say Republicans will threaten health care's availability and raise rates, angering the 20 million peo- ple who gained insurance under the law and tens of millions of others who ben- efit from the statute's cover- age requirements. "It puts the burden on them to come up with the so-called repairs," said No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois. "What a departure from re- peal it, walk away from it and America will be a bet- ter place." Republicans continue shaping proposals to void Obama's statute. Potential targets include the law's re- quirement that people with- out coverage from work buy policies, the subsidies many of them receive and the tax increases on higher-income people and the health indus- try. Some Republicans want to reshape and cut Medic- aid, which provides health coverage to lower-earning people, but others represent states that expanded it un- der Obama's statute. Most want language blocking fed- eral payments to Planned Parenthood but some don't, and some would let states choose to keep Obama's law intact. There are also disputes over how to provide money so people don't abruptly lose coverage and to entice in- surance companies fearing losses to keep selling poli- cies. With insurers crafting their 2018 rates over the coming two months, the in- dustry's leading trade group expressed its jitters to Con- gress this week. Marilyn Tavenner,presidentofAmer- ica'sHealthInsurancePlans, told Alexander's committee that insurers must know soon whether lawmakers will continue federal pay- ments that let companies re- duce out-of-pocket costs for manylower-earningcustom- ers. Losing those subsidies "would further deteriorate an already unstable market and hurt the millions of con- sumerswhodependonthese programs," she warned. At a hearing Thursday be- fore a House health subcom- mittee,Republicansrevealed four drafts of potential bills. One would let insur- ers charge older customers higher rates. Another would replace the law's unpopular individual mandate with a requirement that people maintain "continuous" cov- erage if they want to avoid more expensive policies.
