The Red Bluff Round-Up is seeking volunteers who would like to be involved in the big- gest event in Northern California and want to make a difference in the community, meet new people and have fun. In its 96th year, the Round- Up is one of the largest rodeos in the nation and volunteers are needed to help produce the three-day event. Help is needed with ticket sales, merchandise sales, the fan fair area, auto- graph sessions, hospitality, live- stock, grounds maintenance and the first aid booth. Anyone can volunteer, said James Miller, general manager for the Round-Up. "You don't have to be a cattle rancher or a cowboy or cowgirl," Miller said. Volunteers don't have to live in Red Bluff. The Round-Up has volunteers from all over, includ- ing some from Idaho who spend the week in town. Interested people can ap- ply online at RedBluffRoundup. com at the "get involved/become a volunteer" link. The Round-Up is fun for vol- unteers, as well as its fans. This year's Round-Up is sched- uled for April 21-23, with 11 Days of Round-Up activities begin- ning on April 13. For more information, visit the website or call 527-1000.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Thanks to a grant awarded by the city of Red Bluff in November, the Poor And The Homeless, or PATH, program that operates a winter shelter and women's transitional hous- ing was able to secure a site near the corner of Main and Ash streets for men's transi- tional housing, taking posses- sion Jan. 18. "We received a grant as part of the $10,000 Red Bluff set aside for helping the homeless situation," said Colleen Lewis, a PATH board member. The council approved $2,500 for Faith Works and $2,500 for Supernatural Life Transition Ranch at the time it earmarked $5,000 for PATH. In addition to the money from the city that allowed PATH to enter a lease for the property, the organization re- ceived a grant from Dignity Health aimed toward commu- HOMELESS PATH EXPANDS PROGRAM TO INCLUDE NEW HOUSING JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS A man from a probation work crew cleans up a building near the corner of Main and Ash streets that will be utilized for men's transitional housing through PATH. By Juliet Williams The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown forcefully defended California's efforts to curb global warming, protect immigrants and expand health care, vowing in his State of the State address Tuesday to fight the Trump administration if it tries to roll back the state's accomplishments. "California is not turning back. Not now, not ever," he de- clared. The Democratic governor of the nation's most populous state has helped put California in the vanguard of the effort to fight climate change. He also noted, among other things, the state's successes in cutting un- employment, reducing a multi- billion-dollar deficit and boost- ing school funding. While no one knows what President Donald Trump's ad- ministration will bring, the gov- ernor said, "there are signs that are disturbing." "We have seen the bold as- sertion of 'alternative facts.' We have heard the blatant attacks on science," Brown told a joint session of the Democratic-con- trolled Legislature. "Familiar signposts of our democracy — truth, civility, working together — have been obscured or swept aside." With backing from the Obama administration, the state of 39 million people has adopted the most aggressive program in the U.S. to fight climate change, a campaign to roll back carbon emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The measures include escalat- ing fees charged to polluters for emissions under the state's cap- and-trade system, incentives for electric cars, and regulation of greenhouse gas releases from dairy cows and landfills. The state also embraced the federal health care law and committed billions of dollars to expanding Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for the poor. While over 5 million more people now have access to health care, the expansion re- lies on billions in federal fund- ing that now could be at risk. Brown also noted several laws passed by the Legislature to ex- pand protections for people liv- ing in the country illegally and to give them access to driver's li- censes, work permits and a col- STATE OF THE STATE Governor defiant in face of Trump agenda By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Bidwell Elementary School students have been cele- brating kindness throughout the month of January and began the Great Kindness Challenge Mon- day to focus on acts of kindness. Kindness Week will go through to Friday with different dress up days set to show school spirit. The challenge was created and launched in 2011 by Kids for Peace, a global nonprofit based in Carlsbad. During this week Bidwell stu- dents are encouraged to perform as many acts of kindness as they can and check them off when they are done. Some of the challenges the students are participating in include smiling at 25 people, com- plimenting five people, picking up 10 pieces of trash on campus and making a new friend. In celebration of kindness, Monday the students dress up in black and white because "kind- ness is black and white." Tuesday they dressed up as super heroes to inspire students to "be super about kindness." Wednesday is mismatch shoes day, when students can wear the shoes to symbolize walking in someone else's shoes. Thursday is peace and kindness day, when students can dress like hippies and Friday students will stand BIDWELL SCHOOL Studentsparticipateinchallenge Students at Bidwell Elementary School participate in the Great Kindness Challenge, a week set aside to focus on acts of kindness.
