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

Pacific storm brings high wind, heavy rain to Redding

Redding's first winter storm of the season arrived on Friday with strong, gusty winds of up to 45 mph, bringing as much as 3 inches of heavy rain to the city — and a light coat of snow to mountain towns in the Shasta Cascade region. The Pacific storm with a stream of subtropical moisture could be powerful enough to knock out power in parts of Shasta County and make road travel hazardous, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a wind advisory in effect until 7 p.m. on Nov. 13. The storm arrived from the Gulf of Alaska and moved over the Eastern Pacific on Nov. 12, said meteorologist Idamis Shoemaker at the weather service's Sacramento branch. South wind started blowing through the Sacramento Valley toward Redding around 4 a.m. on Friday, the weather service said, bringing those strong gusts powerful enough to break delicate tree limbs, stress power lines, upturn outdoor furniture and make maneuvering difficult for drivers.

Supervisor says rent hike delayed 90 days for mobile home residents

As Shasta County works to address concerns from mobile home residents about rising rents, Supervisor Allen Long delivered some good news to those residents at Tuesday’s board meeting. In a surprise announcement during his Nov. 10 board report, the District 2 supervisor said Harmony Communities, which owns and manages two parks in Shasta County, has agreed to delay a $300 monthly rent increase that would have taken effect Dec. 1. Long said Harmony agreed to postpone the rent increase until March 1. The agreement came after recent talks Long had with Harmony. Residents in the Bixby Knolls Mobile Home Park in Anderson and Riverland Mobile Home Ranch in Redding — where the rent increase was about to take effect — have been attending supervisors’ meetings in recent months asking the county to adopt a rent control ordinance. “This give us a little more time to slow this down and have proper negotiations, so that was a very exciting development that we worked out with them (Harmony),” Long told the Record Searchlight after the Nov. 10 meeting. At the supervisors' Oct. 27 meeting, Long was given direction by the board to talk with Harmony Communities and mobile home residents to see

Unhealthy air hits Redding with control burns

A control burn in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest sent smoke high into the air over greater Redding, polluting skies most of Thursday and creating unhealthy conditions for some. The U.S. Forest Service and other fire protection agencies on Thursday were trying to remove as much dry flammable vegetation as possible before strong, windy weather arrives on Friday, Nov. 13, the Shasta County Air Quality Management District. Some of the most extensive burning was happening in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest north of Redding. Sensors around Shasta Lake recorded as much as three times the amount of particulate matter — the kind of pollution dangerous to humans, pets and other animals — needed to put even healthy people at risk for respiratory trouble if exposed for long, according to Purple Air pollution data . The EPA’s AirNow tracked very unhealthy air from Happy Valley south of Redding to Sugarloaf, 30 miles north of Redding on Interstate 5. Pollution reached at least moderate to unhealthy levels from Cottonwood to the Oregon border, according to the EPA and Watch Duty fire app .
