StaffReports REDBLUFF Despiteaslightcool- ing trend this week, summer has arrived in Northern California with hot days and warm nights. These conditions are especially dangerous for the very young, the very old, those who work outdoors and those with underlying health conditions such as asthma, who have difficulty recovering from the daytime highs when it does not cool off at night, according to a press release issued Friday by Tehama County Public Health. Monitor family members who are obese, elderly or very young for any heat-related illness or diffi- culty breathing and contact their medical provider with any ques- tions.

The World Bank's annual rank- ings of countries' gross domestic products, released on Friday, con- firm an analysis published last month by the California Depart- ment of Finance. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last month that California's GDP was $2.5 trillion in 2015, up 4.1 percent from a year earlier. California saw more economic growth than the United States as a whole, which was up 2.4 per- cent. But California's rise in the global rankings comes largely at the expense of Brazil, which is struggling economically, and France, which was burdened by a weaker currency. Only five countries produced more last year than California: the U.S., China, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. CALIFORNIA Economy equals world's 6th largest By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF The Tehama County Transit Agency Board began dis- cussions June 23 regarding es- tablishing a new TRAX bus route, the Diamond Express, to serve as a shuttle between downtown and the Shasta Col- lege Tehama Campus. The mat- ter received a unanimous vote from directors following a pre- sentation. The route, which would pro- vide a connection to Shasta Col- lege and increase services to South Main and Walnut streets, is funded through federal Con- gestion Mitigation Air Qual- ity money, said Deputy Direc- tor of Transportation Barbara O'Keeffe. "It's another good opportu- nity for us," O'Keeffe said. "We are pleased to have these mon- ies available to us to reimburse us for the operating cost for the pilot program. We have worked closely with Shasta College and the CMAQ monies are also go- ing to be available to provide the monthly passes for the stu- dents and also any of the faculty or classified personnel who want to use the service." The project has been in the works for some time and has taken more than a year to get done, O'Keeffe said. "I'm very excited about this route," said Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Good- win. "Not only is this going to serve the college, but it will also go by our new library that we're locating out that direction." Goodwin said he was excited because of a Red Bluff Sunrise Rotary project in the works that starts with a grant being sub- mitted within the next week to put in bus shelters. "We would do some labor and put some local money into it to put bus shelters in to support this," Goodwin said. "It's also a way to honor Linda McCay, who TRAX Bustoconnectcollegetodowntown By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The skies over Red Bluff lit up with fireworks Monday after a year's absence and people came out to watch with several lining the rails of the bridge over the Sacramento River on Antelope Boulevard, just pass Rio Street. Others gathered at River Park where the Red Bluff Community Concert Band, which performs at 8 p.m. Mondays June through Au- gust, put on a show. The fireworks were shot off from near the Red Bluff Elks Lodge, lasting between 15 and 20 minutes with several test shots put up earlier in the evening dur- ing a light breeze that came to a halt shortly before the show. After a spectacular show in 2014, the sky was dark in 2015 for the fireworks show when no volunteers came forward to head up the community-run commit- tee, the Tehama County Fire- works Committee. It had raised funds for the show when a group previously hosting the fireworks stepped down. In 2015, Committee co-Chair- woman Jennifer Zirkle stepped up to the leadership plate, taking on the challenge with long-time com- mittee member Jennifer Guarino, who had been involved with the 2014 show and the efforts to put on a show in 2013 that was can- celed due to windy conditions. Throughout 2015 and right up to the show, the committee worked to host several fundrais- ers from a spaghetti dinner to a bowling event and even hosted a fireworks booth at The Home De- pot, which according to a Face- book post Monday had nearly sold out of its inventory. Organizers posted to the Face- book page that it was not just their hard work that brought the show into being and they are thankful for the community sup- port and the members and busi- ness persons of the community who got behind them.
