Please, don't top post.  Okay, if I read your OP correctly you have two 
folders in /extra/ (news and events).  Those directories are outside the 
document root right?

Okay if that's the case you'll need to add the <Directory> directive 
just below the Alias command.  Like this:

Alias events/ /extra/events

<Directory /extra/events>
	Insert options here like Allows or Deny's
</Directory>

This should fix that problem.

You should also check the permissions on those directories to make sure 
they are at least readable by the apache user (apache or www, or similar).
