REDBLUFFCHAMBER Bu si ne ss es u rg ed t o decorate for rodeo CONTRIBUTEDPHOTO Businesses can get dressed up for the Red Bluff Round-Up. Staff Reports Authorities are urging the public to avoid and re- port an illegal and poten- tially harmful pesticide product recently sold at homes, via the internet and elsewhere. The unregistered product goes by the name "El Mejor Remedio" ("The Best Rem- edy") or "El Mejor Polvo" ("The Best Dust") and claims to kill cockroaches. However, the product can make you sick, according to the California Depart- ment of Pesticide Regula- tion and Tehama County Department of Agriculture. The product contains a pesticide ingredient called acephate that, when used incorrectly, can cause nau- sea, dizziness, confusion, breathing difficulties and, at high levels, convulsions and coma. Acephate is a pesticide that is not allowed to be used indoors. In California, it's illegal to repackage, sell or dis- tribute a pesticide with- out a license and without first registering the prod- uct with the Department of Pesticide Regulation. Reg- istered products are tested for safety and come with approved labels and safety restrictions on use. A legal pesticide product will have an EPA Registration Num- ber (EPA Reg. No.) on the package. The unregistered cock- roach product was being sold on the internet and door to door, and was ad- vertised in at least one Spanish-language maga- zine, according to Santa Clara County authorities. The product also turned up in flea markets. In January, the Santa Clara County District Attor- ney's Office charged a man in connection with sales of the product. Anyone with information that may help investigators locate possi- ble victims who purchased the powder is urged to call the Santa Clara District At- torney's Office Environmen- tal Protection Unit at 408- 792-2794. If you are unsure whether a pesticide product is regis- tered, contact the Tehama County Department of Ag- riculture at 527-4504. Re- member if you suspect that you have pesticide poison- ing or you have a medical emergency dial 9-1-1. TEHAMA COUNTY Agriculture Department warns illegal pesticide can be harmful PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. By Marley Jay The Associated Press NEW YORK After an early- afternoon slump, U.S. stocks finished mostly lower Monday in a quiet day of trading. Banks fell along with bond yields as stocks declined for a third straight day. Lower bond yields hurt banksbecausetheyforcein- terest rates down on mort- gages and other kinds of loans. Utility companies gave up some of their re- cent gains. Most sectors didn't move much on the lightest trad- ing day of the year. Euro- pean markets mostly fell af- ter the British government said it will formally begin the process of leaving the EuropeanUnionnextweek. Sameer Samana, a strat- egist for the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, said politics may keep investors occupied for the next few weeks as they wait for elec- tions in France and a Eu- ropean Central Bank meet- ing, both next month, while legislators in the U.S. de- bate the proposed Repub- lican-backed health care law. "There's enough events that will keep markets busy," Samana said. He added that investors want to see tax reform proposals because they could boost corporate profits, but those aren't likely to come until the health care bill is dealt with. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 4.78 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,373.47. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 8.76 points to 20,905.86. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.53 points to 5,901.53. The Russell 2000 of small-company stocks fell 7.43 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,384.10. The stock market has mostly been quiet this month. Its two big moves were both linked to the Federal Reserve: on March 1 stocks jumped after the central bank signaled it would raise rates, and they climbed last Wednesday af- ter the Fed made it clear it will move slowly for the rest of the year. Britain's government said it will trigger the pro- cess of leaving the EU on March 29. That will start a long negotiation between Britain and the EU, with uncertain effects for banks and other companies that do business across borders. Britain is expected to of- ficially leave the union in 2019. Bond prices rose, send yields to their lowest in three weeks. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.46 percent from 2.50 percent. Wells Fargo fell $1.04, or 1.8 percent, to $57.63 and Synchrony Financial gave up 92 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $34.20. The British pound slipped to $1.2350 from $1.2396 late Friday, and it's down about 20 percent since Britain voted to leave the EU in late June. The dollar declined to 112.58 yen from 112.70 yen. The euro fell to $1.0733 from $1.0743. Benchmark U.S. crude declined 56 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $48.22 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, lost 14 cents to $51.62 a barrel in London. Dominion Diamond climbed $2.28, or 23 per- cent, to $12.20 after Wash- ington Cos. went public with an offer to buy the di- amondminingcompanyfor $13.50 per share, or about $1.1 billion. Dominion Di- amond said it is willing to engage in talks but said Washington doesn't have experience in the diamond industryandquestionedthe timing of the offer.
