Cabbage champ
Jake Smalley is so excited about winning Best of Show for
his cabbage, he calls it a grand champion, the title a few
of the older Indian Valley 4-H members earned for their
livestock at the Plumas-Sierra County Fair. He and Grandma
Hamilton, not pictured, were quick to make a huge batch
of coleslaw out of the champion with a recipe she found
in the Taylorsville Ladies Cookbook. Photo by Nikki Smalley
Logue's crime-solving bill
passes; veterans bill advances
Assemblyman and Chief Re-
publican Whip Dan Logue an-
nounced last week that his
measure, Assembly Bill 434,
cleared the Senate floor by a
unanimous vote.
"Public safety depends on
the speedy return of DNA test
results, as many crimes gO
unsolved or uncharged due to
lack of DNA evidence. This is
especially the case with vio-
lent crimes such as sexual as-
sault," said Logue. "AB 434
will give local law enforce-
ment across the state an addi-
tional tool for investigating
crimes, without any added
cost to taxpayers."
Assembly Bill 434 would re-
duce the backed-up case load
for DNA testing b3/allowing
counties that do not have
their own DNA crime labs to
use Proposition 69 funds to
negotiate with the Depart-
ment of Justice (or another
county's public crime lab) to
hire a technician that would
work exclusively on these
counties' cases.
Currently, counties have
the option of using Proposi-
tion 69 funds to either operate
their own crime labs or con-
tract with the DOJ on a case-
by-case basis. However, most
counties cannot afford to op-
erate their own labs, and the
DOJ currently suffers from a
large backlog. By enabling
counties to employ a separate
lab technician in the DOJ or
neighboring county crime lab
with their unused Proposition
Logue has also coauthored
Assembly Bill 38 in the First
Extraordinary Session by As-
semblywoman Linda Halder-
man (R.Fresno) to restore
funding for the construction
of the Redding and Fresno
veterans homes.
"The construction of these
homes is vital to the veterans
living in the North State and
Central Valley, and this bill
provides the necessary fund-
ing to move forward," said
Logue. "Caring for our mili-
tary veterans should never
have been jeopardized."
The majority party budget
passed in June cut $20 million
from the Department of Veter-
ans Affairs by delaying the
opening of the Redding and
Fresno veterans homes by one
year. Assembly Bill 38 in the
First Extraordinary Session
shifts $8.1 million from an ex-
isting pot of money that has
gone unused for several years
to the Department of Veterans
Affairs in order to continue
with the opening of these
homes immediately. Assem-
bly Republican fiscal staff has
calculated that the original
$20 million was an.over-ap-
propriation and that $8.1 is a
sufficient amount to fund the
opening of these homes.
"Honoring the brave men
and women who have made
every available resource to
ensure that they receive the
care they deserve."
AB 38 in the First Extraor-
dinary Session currently

With schools around the
state starting the fall session,
California Department of
Public Health (CDPH) Direc-
tor Dr. Ron Chapman urged
parents to make sure their
kids' vaccinations are up to
date tO help~sure their chil-
dren get a healthy start to the
new school year.
"As a parent myself, I know
how difficult it is to remem-
ber everything you need to do
to get your child ready for
school," said Chapman.
"Putting vaccinations at the
top of the list ensures your
child can be enrolled on time
and with the best protection
from diseases throughout the
school year.,
Most parents are aware of
existing laws that require
whooping cough, measles and
other vaccinations before
children start kindergarten.
However, a new law now re-
quires a whooping cough
booster before middle and
high school students can re-
enter school this fall.
"It's important for parents
to understand whooping
cough continues to be a
threat," said Chapman. "The
booster shot helps protect
kids from what Can be a dead,
ly disease."
Chapman urges parents to
make an appointment with a
provider now to protect them-
selves and their families dur-
ing the pertussis peak season,
which is traditionally sum-
mer and fall.
Many local school districts,
county clinics and mobile
vans are set up throughout
the state to provide free and
low-cost vaccines. Gov.
Brown recently signed legis-
lation that allows schools to
opt to extend the deadline for
proof of vaccination by 30
days beyond the first day of
school.
"Schools, counties and the
state are working together to
get the word out to parents,"
said Chapman.

up-to-date information on re-
quired vaccinations, visit
