Virus found in California for first time after 220 fish die at Nevada County lake

A virus linked to the deaths of about 220 fish at a Nevada County lake was detected in California for the first time, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said. “This is a sobering discovery given how widely distributed largemouth bass are in California, how popular they are as a sport fish and their economic importance to our rural communities,” said Jay Rowan, the agency's fisheries branch chief, in a Thursday news release. About 220 fish, mostly largemouth bass but also some bluegill, died at Lake of the Pines in September, and tests confirmed the presence of largemouth bass virus, officials said. The virus does not pose a health risk to humans or other warm-blooded animals, the agency said. Officials had not determined how the virus reached the lake. The virus can be introduced “from contaminated equipment, infected baitfish, stocking infected largemouth bass and introducing other carrier species that are infected.” The virus poses no health risks to people who eat infected fish or swim in or drink infected water, the agency said. The agency urged residents to help prevent the virus from spreading by avoiding the transfer of fish between bodies of water and cleaning, draining and drying

Iconic caboose moves through streets of historic Colfax

I had the chance to witness something I've never seen before, nor ever really thought I'd see. A more than 100-year-old train caboose rolled through the streets of Colfax, instead of on rails, as part of a relocation process to the 1905 depot across the street Thursday morning. Since 1969, the SP #863 wooden caboose has been a visual symbol of Colfax's railroad history at its perch on the corner of Grass Valley and Main Street. As part of a plan to move it to a more accessible spot at the depot, a team from Scott's Heavy Towing lifted the caboose onto wheels to make the delicate move.

Christine, 66, Was Laid Off After More Than 20 Years. Then Employers Stopped Answering: "Is Ageism Alive and Silent?"

Christine Sesnon is 66 and does not want to retire. She wants a job. “I want to be a part of a team, I want to work,” the Butte County, California, woman told Action News Now reporter Bella Barbosa in an August report from Chico. In the station’s video, she adds that she can work weekends and nights. The trouble started when she was laid off from a job she had held for more than two decades. Now she is back on the job hunt. “I’ve done some looking for work online for remote jobs across the country, I’ve been ghosted on those,” Sesnon said. She was careful not to overstate it. “I’m not saying that I’ve applied to five jobs a week,” she told the station, “but I am saying that the jobs that I’ve applied for on a regular basis, I’m getting rejections from, and this is concerning.” She says she is not the only one. According to Action News Now , Sesnon has watched friends in their 60s, people with years of experience and education, struggle to get hired too. “They’re door dashing,” she said. “They can’t find jobs, it’s absurd. It’s just bizarre.” All of those

Rocklin approves 281 apartments despite parking concerns. Here's what changed

A divided Rocklin City Council approved a 281-unit affordable housing project Tuesday, capping a contentious review process marked by neighborhood opposition, parking disputes and concerns about the city's limited authority under state housing laws. The council voted 3-2 to approve the Midas Apartments, with Mayor Bass and Councilmember Ken Broadway opposed. The approval included several changes to the development plan, including a restriction preventing non-emergency vehicles from exiting the property onto Midas Avenue. The project includes 278 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with three manager units. Parking remained one of the biggest concerns throughout the review process. Under Rocklin’s parking standards, the development would normally require 578 spaces. The approved plan instead provides 401, with adjustments permitted as long as the total remains at least 397. The developer previously added 25 parking spaces after an August council meeting by reducing some planned landscaping. Why the city cannot require more parking The project is located about 0.39 miles from the Rocklin Amtrak station. Under Assembly Bill 2097, which took effect in 2023, cities generally cannot require minimum parking for qualifying developments within a half-mile of certain public transit stops. Although the
