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.
