TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO ThestateDepart- ment of Food and Agriculture has approved standards for grading and labeling California-produced olive oil that will require makers to prove their product really is ex- tra-virgin olive oil if the label on the bottle says so. The standards, scheduled to take effect next Friday, were rec- ommended by the California Ol- ive Oil Commission, an organiza- tion recently formed by the state's olive oil producers.

After dropping to single dig- its for the first time in five years in June the rate went back up to 10.3 percent in July, but labor market consultants believe that could have been an adjustment of seasonal cutbacks for school employees. The addition of 120 farm jobs and 100 government jobs led to Tehama County's rate once again trending downward, ac- cording to numbers released Fri- day by the Employment Develop- ment Department. Education and health ser- vices, manufacturing, financial activities and construction also showed job growth. Tehama County's labor force was estimated to be at 24,910, of those 22,590 were employed in August. The employers with the most job advertisements in August were Dignity Health, Tehama County Department of Educa- tion, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, Walmart and Tehama County Health Services Agency. The occupations wit the most job advertisements were for reg- istered nurses, first-line super- visors of retail sales workers, heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers, general maintenance and repair workers and patient representatives. Across the state California had an unemployment rate of 7.4 percent. Tehama County had the 44th lowest rate among the state's 58 counties. Once again Imperial had the worst rate at 25.1 percent and Marin the best at 4.2 percent. In neighboring counties Butte reported 8.1 percent unemploy- ment, Glenn was at 9.9 percent, Mendocino was 6.1 percent, Plu- ECONOMY Localjoblessratedrops By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF Two United States Postal Service trucks decked in pink wheels and ribbons are road-tripping across North- ern California to raise breast cancer awareness and research funds, with one stopping in Red Bluff on Friday. The Sacramento postal dis- trict on Monday kicked off its campaign to reach one bil- lion sales of the USPS breast cancer research semipostal stamp, which since its intro- duction in 1998 has reached 975 million sales and has raised more than $79 million toward cancer research, ac- cording to the USPS. The Red Bluff post office's front desk has been decorated with pink balloons, ribbons, pinwheels and roses, with community members lending a helping hand, said Kristy Stone, a sales service associ- ate whose pink hair and nails complemented the Red Bluff post office. Stone said she assisted a cus- tomer whose daughter is a can- cer survivor earlier in the day, adding that he purchased re- lated breast cancer research T- shirts for himself and the cus- tomer queued behind him. "Red Bluff is one of the fin- est towns for just that — pay- ing it forward," she said. A sheet of 20 breast cancer research forever stamps costs $12, with $2.20 from each sale aiding research, Red Bluff postmaster DeeDee Pender- graft said. Pendergraft, a can- cer survivor, is deeply involved in efforts that raise money to find a cure for cancer, and has co-chaired the annual Corning Relay for Life event. "I believe in anybody do- nating anything, so nobody has to go through what I went through," Pendergraft said, "The research is helping to develop cures and early detec- tion." From Red Bluff, the "pink" postal truck is scheduled to stop in Anderson on Monday, and then Chico on Wednes- day. The two trucks are set to meet at the postal district of- fice in West Sacramento dur- ing Breast Cancer Awareness Month on Oct. 9. Pendergraft said it was an honor for the Red Bluff post of- fice to be a part of the district's breast cancer awareness cam- paign, "because cancer touches everybody's lives."
