HEALTH Continued from page 1A This will help protect residents by preventing the transmission of the virus from health care workers to their patients. Tehama County���s health care facilities are taking these precautions to prevent the spread of the flu and keep the community healthy. Ninety-five percent of the employees at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital have been vaccinated for flu, and the other 5 percent are masking to protect their patients. All staff at the Tehama County Health Services Agency, Lassen Medical Group and other clinics and healthcare facilities in the County have also received flu shots. When 80 to 95 percent of a group of people is vaccinated against a disease, that group has herd immunity. This means that the disease has a harder time taking hold in that group of people, and even those who are not vaccinated will have some protection. Requiring all health care workers to get immunized or to mask will decrease the spread of the flu, but residents need to get immunized as well. The good news is that the flu vaccine developed for this season seems to be perfectly fitted to the type of flu that is being seen. It is working. If you haven���t gotten your flu shot yet, get it now to keep you and your family healthy all winter long. Influenza infection accounts for an estimated 36,000 deaths in the United States every year. Health care facilities are doing their part to help prevent an outbreak, and we encourage all residents to do their part as well by washing their hands often and getting their flu shot now. Flu shots are available 3-5 p.m. weekdays at Tehama County Public Health in Red Bluff at 1860 Walnut St., Building C, and Wednesdays 9-11 a.m. and 5-6 p.m., or in Corning, at 275 Solano St., on Tuesdays 3:30-6:30 p.m. and Thursdays 3-5 p.m. For more information, call Public Health at 5276824 or 1-800-655-6854. Southern Ore. public radio foundation regrouping ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) ��� After a divisive struggle with Southern Oregon University this year over leadership of Jefferson Public Radio, a foundation that supports the radio system is regrouping. The JPR Foundation has put on hold plans for a Medford headquarters for the sprawling broadcast operation, the Ashland Daily Tidings reports. Instead it���s focusing on hiring a leader to raise money for remodeling a theater in Medford as a venue for live performance. The foundation is a fundraising operation for the public radio system of 22 stations heard from Mendocino, Calif., to Eugene, Ore. The broadcasts come from basement studios at the university in Ashland. School officials concerned that the foundation���s projects could put university at risk and called for an audit that led to the firing of Ron Kramer as executive director. Kramer eventually resigned his dual role as head of the foundation after tensions rose and Gov. John Kitzhaber stepped in. The president of the foundation, Steve Nelson, said there are five finalists in the running to be the executive director of a spinoff organization called Jefferson Live!, whose task is to raise $3 million to restore the Holly Theatre in downtown Medford. It���s to be a companion venue for the foundation���s Cascade Theatre in Redding, Calif., with acts performing at both locations. The Holly���s facade and a cracked beam supporting the roof were restored earlier this year. The idea of a Medford headquarters for the radio system in a remodeled grocery warehouse hasn���t been abandoned, Nelson said, but ������it���s in a state of dormancy.������ Suspect in disappearance of Calif. girl released YREKA (AP) ��� A man arrested along with his father in the 1997 disappearance of a 15-year-old Northern California girl has been released from jail. Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus declined to immediately file charges against 35-yearold Ed Henline Jr., referring the case back to the Sheriff���s Office for further investigation. Henline was released on Monday. The Klamath Falls, Ore. resident was arrested last month on suspicion of conspiracy and being an accessory in the disappearance of Hannah Zaccaglini from the community of McCloud. His father, 57-year-old Ed Henline Sr., has been charged with murder in the case. He has pleaded not guilty. Authorities say the older Henline was the last person seen with Zaccaglini before she went missing on June 5, 1997.

The city has received complaints about White Road, but it too has a lower traffic level and will have to wait, he said. Some places people have tried to put rocks into the potholes or cold patch, but those aren���t good fixes, Henz said. The rocks are easily dislodged, especially by bigger vehicles, and can sometimes cause more damage to the road when a vehicle dislodges them, he said.

Shasta brothers plead guilty to false documents Brothers Sergio Alonso Madrigal-Felix, 32, of Redding, and Mario Alfonso Madrigal-Felix, 36, of Anderson, pleaded guilty Tuesday in connection with their scheme to produce and sell false immigration documents, United States Attorney Benjamin Wagner announced. Mario Madrigal-Felix pleaded guilty to the production of false identification documents, and Sergio Madrigal-Felix pleaded guilty to selling false identification documents. This case is the product of an investigation by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement���s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Hales is prosecuting the case. According to court documents, the brothers produced and sold counterfeit document sets for $150 each that included an alien registration card or ���green card��� and a Social Security card with a false number. An undercover agent pur- chased three sets on March 22 for three fictitious people. A total of eight more sets were purchased from the defendants on two other occasions. A search warrant was issued and agents seized documentmaking equipment, including a laptop, hard drive, printer, and laminator, all of which the defendants have agreed to forfeit to the United States as a part of their plea agreements. The defendants are scheduled to be sentenced on March 11 by United States District Judge William Shubb. They have been in custody since their arrest and initial court appearance on July 27. The defendants each faces a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. I-5 in Northern Calif. reopens after crashes YREKA (AP) ��� Northbound lanes of Interstate 5 in far Northern California have reopened after a series of traffic collisions involving about 60 vehicles shut down the roadway. The California Highway Patrol says the highway reopened at 5 a.m. Wednesday, about 12 hours after authorities received a report of a crash there north of Yreka near the Oregon border. Additional crashes were still occurring when the first officer responded. The CHP says eight people were transported to hospitals. Six of them were treated and released. Two others were admitted for serious injuries. More than two dozen vehicles had to be towed from the roadway. It's not known what caused the pileup, although the CHP says the roadway was icy. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the area. California picks retiree to head prisons system SACRAMENTO (AP) ��� Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday appointed a retired corrections chief from Pennsylvania to head California���s prison system as it transitions to a smaller institution with a higher concentration of violent felons. The Democratic governor named Jeffrey Beard, 65, as secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Beard oversaw a much smaller department as corrections secretary in Pennsylvania from 2001 until he retired in 2010, serving under both Republican and Democratic governors. Brown said Beard has the experience California needs. ������In the face of a plethora of Federal court decisions and the bold realignment enacted by the Legislature, Jeff Beard has arrived at the right time to take the next steps in returning California���s parole and correctional institutions to their former luster,������ Brown said in a statement announcing the appointment. The position pays $225,000 a year and requires Senate confirmation. California has about 133,000 inmates and more than 46,000 employees but is reducing the size of both as it tries to cut costs and reduce the population in crowded prisons to comply with federal court orders. A 2011 law Brown approved has been sending less serious offenders to local jails instead of state prisons, leaving behind a more violent inmate population. In Pennsylvania, Beard oversaw about 51,000 inmates and 16,000 employees, but he also is familiar with California���s prison system and has helped guide many of its recent changes. He was a member of an expert panel in 2007 that advised California prison officials on ways to improve their prison and parole programs and has been a consul- tant for California���s prison system since 2011 as it works to improve mental health treatment for inmates. In those roles, he already has visited many of California���s 33 adult prisons. Beard is a licensed psychologist who has master���s and doctorate degrees in counseling. Since he retired, Beard has advised state agencies, private companies and the National Institute of Corrections on corrections, security and mental health issues. Prison officials said he was not available to comment on Wednesday. He issued a statement saying he is honored by the appointment. Beard replaces Matthew Cate, who resigned last month to become executive director of the California State Association of Counties. Cate served 4 1/2 years under Brown and his Republican predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Community Clip? e-mail: clerk@redbluffdailynews.com or Fax: 527-9251
