maininanindoorenviron- ment with air conditioning to avoid exposure to the ex- cessive heat. If your home becomes too hot, consider leaving and visiting an in- door mall, theater or li- brary, the release said. Libraries are at 645 Mad- ison St. in Red Bluff, call 527-0604 for hours Mon- day through Friday; 740 Third St. in Corning, call 824-7050 for hours Mon- day through Friday and 7881 State Route 99E in Los Molinos, call 384-2772 for hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Additional ways to pro- tect your health when tem- peratures are very high in- clude drinking plenty of wa- ter, even if not thirsty; stay away from drinks contain- ing caffeine, wear light col- ored clothes and sunscreen; schedule outdoor activi- ties in the morning or eve- ning; avoid sunburns and excessive heat by reducing sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; take frequent breaks, in the shade or in- doors when working in the heat; use a buddy system and check in with friends and family and never leave anyone, including pets, in a car, as it can take as few as 10 minutes for the temper- ature to rise to levels that can kill. Heat exhaustion is a se- rious illness caused by too much heat, the release said. Overexertion or profuse sweating in a hot, humid, poorly ventilated environ- ment often results in heat exhaustion. If heat exhaustion is recognized and treated promptly, the effects can easily be reversed. Symptoms include feel- ing weak, faint or dizzy with an accompanying headache or nausea; cold, clammy skin; severe mus- cle fatigue; dry tongue and thirst; loss of appetite; pro- fuse sweating; physical col- lapse, with muscle fatigue and sometimes cramping. If heat exhaustion is suspected, move the per- son into a cool place out of the sun or heat; loosen any tight fitting clothes and re- move extra layers of clothes; offer the person fluids such as water, fruit or vegetable juices or sports drinks; do not offer drinks that con- tain alcohol or caffeine; en- courage the person to drink about a half glass of fluid every 15 to 20 minutes and help the person cool off by sponging him or her with cool water, or applying cool, wet cloths such as a towel or sheet, the release said. If symptoms do not clear up, seek immediate medical attention. If the person loses consciousness, call 911. Visit www.cdc.gov/ex- tremeheat/index.html for more information. For ques- tions about extreme heat and your health, contact a nurse at Tehama County Public Health — Red Bluff 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 527-6824 or 1-800-655-6854 or Tehama County Public Health — Corning 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 824-4890 or 1-800-655-6854. Healthy FROMPAGE1 as many of you know passed away this year. She was not only a Rotarian, but she was an instructor at Shasta Col- lege and I think she taught in Los Molinos at one time as well." The route is very much needed, said Supervisor Steve Chamblin. Safety has been an issue due to a lack of transportation from the Main Street area to the col- lege campus. The route, which will be- gin and end at the bus and ride hub at Rio and Walnut streets, will proceed south on Main Street and end on Diamond Avenue where it will turn around and head back the same route. It is set to be activated in time for the fall session. The directors also ap- proved lowering the se- nior age limit from 70 to 65 years for riders to receive a free lifetime pass. They also passed, at the request of Te- hama County Veterans Ser- vice Officer Kelly Osborne, a free monthly bus pass pro- gram for Tehama County veterans. "I'm here to request monthly TRAX passes for our veterans to honor our veterans," Osborne said. "This is to help our elderly veterans who don't drive anymore or some of them that shouldn't be driving anymore and still do. This could also help our low-in- come and homeless veter- ans as well." Osborne said she has seen the need for the passes and used a Corning resident as an example. The man oc- casionally comes in to ask for change or a dollar to get a bus pass to help get back to Corning. "It's a big need," Osborne said. "Transportation is huge as you know in this county for both those who don't have a vehicle or can't afford a vehicle. It's also a nice way to attract more veterans into our office." Osborne has seen how the ability to get the word veteran put onto a Califor- nia driver's license or to get them an unofficial Tehama County veterans identifica- tion card to use for things like local discounts at stores has brought veterans to her door, Osborne said. That has given her the opportu- nity to discuss what bene- fits are available to the vet- erans and there are several who did not know they were eligible. Supervisor Bob Williams asked about the possibility of working on legislation regarding free mass tran- sit for veterans state wide, offering to have Counsel Arthur Wylene work on the potential legislation. Bus FROM PAGE 1 There were no fireworks related injuries or fires re- ported. The Tehama-Glenn Unit and the Tehama County Fire Department con- ducted extensive patrols and public awareness edu- cation on the proper use of fireworks and the danger of using illegal fireworks on the 4th of July. Any unused fireworks should be locked up and extreme caution should be taken when storing them. In the past there have been fires caused by children lighting leftover fireworks. Parents need to be aware of the risk to children from burns caused by unsuper- vised fireworks use. If children start a fire with fireworks a citation may be issued and the par- ents could be liable for sup- pression costs.

Fireworks FROM PAGE 1 By Alicia Chang TheAssociatedPress LOSANGELES Now that the Juno spacecraft is settled in orbit around Jupiter, the real work is about to begin. Juno will fly closer to Ju- piter than any other space- craft, skipping over cloud tops and peering deep in- side to uncover clues about the giant planet's forma- tion. Scientists hope that understanding how Jupi- ter formed can help explain how Earth and the other planets evolved as well. "Now the fun begins — the science," mission chief scientist Scott Bolton said after Juno's arrival Mon- day at the end of a five-year journey. A look at what's coming up during the $1.1 billion mission: Post-tripcheckup Juno was bombarded with radiation as it neared Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. As a precaution, its camera and science instruments were turned off during the ar- rival. Engineers will flip them back on this week and perform a complete check of the spacecraft to make sure everything is ready to go for the next 20 months. Changing course To enter Jupiter's orbit, Juno fired its rocket mo- tor, putting it on a long, looping path that takes 53 days to complete. In late August, the spacecraft swings back around Ju- piter for its first close-in view. But Juno eventually needs to swoop in closer to do its job. The mission kicks into high gear in Oc- tober when Juno fires its engine again to tighten its orbit. Then every two weeks, the spacecraft will skim Jupiter's clouds to peek into its stormy at- mosphere. Moon mystery Juno made a discov- ery even before reaching its destination. As Juno zeroed in on Jupiter, its camera captured the massive planet appearing half-lit surrounded by its four main moons. NASA stitched the images to- gether and created a time- lapse video showing the moons in action. There was a surprise: Jupiter's second-largest moon, Callisto, appeared dimmer than scientists imagined. "We don't know why," said Bolton of the South- west Research Institute in Texas. Closest look Previous missions to Ju- piter have revealed stun- ning views of the planet's thick clouds and vivid au- roras. Scientists are ex- pecting the best photos and information yet from Juno. "We get our first up and close personal look at Ju- piter with all our eyes and ears open" later this sum- mer, Bolton said. The spacecraft carries nine instruments to map the planet. It will measure how much water is in Ju- piter's atmosphere. This will shed light on where in the solar system Jupiter formed. It will also probe Jupiter's gravity and mag- netic fields to determine what kind of core it has and what makes the north- ern and southern lights so intense. Juno will also study how deep the trade- mark Great Red Spot goes and why the centuries-old storm has shrunk in recent years. Finale When Juno finishes its job, it will intentionally plunge into Jupiter's at- mosphere and burn up. Galileo, the first space- craft to orbit Jupiter, met the same fate after a 14- year mission. This fiery end expected in 2018 pre- vents any chance of acci- dentally crashing into Ju- piter's moons, particu- larly Europa, considered a prime target in the hunt for microbial life in the so- lar system. EXPLORATION Destination Jupiter: What to expect during the Juno mission RINGOH.W.CHIU—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Scott Bolton, le , and Rick Nybakken are seen in a post-orbit insertion briefing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory following the solar-powered Juno spacecra entered orbit around Jupiter on Monday in Pasadena.

Lt. Brian Rice has cho- sen to be tried instead by a judge, his lawyers said Tuesday — the same one who already acquitted two fellow officers in Freddie Gray's death. Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams denied a defense motion to dis- miss the case against Rice, whose trial begins Thurs- day on charges of man- slaughter, assault, reck- less endangerment and misconduct in office. But the judge said pros- ecutors can't use Rice's in- service training records — a trove of 4,000 pages po- lice recently handed over — because prosecutors failed to share them with the defense team soon enough. Chief Deputy State's At- torney Michael Schatzow said they had been asking the police department for these files "for months and months," but only recently received them. But the judge said the state should have used its subpoena power, if it had to, so that the defense could have time to prepare before trial. "Your office didn't do what it was supposed to do," Williams said. The first of the six charged officers to go to trial, William Porter, faced a jury and ended with a mistrial. The next two chose bench trials in- stead, and were acquitted. After finding officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson not guilty last month, Williams said pros- ecutors had yet to produce evidence proving a crime was committed by the of- ficers who left Gray hand- cuffed and shackled but unrestrained by a seat belt inside Goodson's van. Their ranking officer was Rice, a 17-year Balti- more Police veteran be- fore Gray's death, now sus- pended without pay. Rice's personnel file in- cludes some troubles of his own: He was hospitalized over mental health con- cerns and twice placed on administrative suspen- sions. In 2012, police confis- cated Rice's official and personal firearms after fellow Baltimore police of- ficer Karen McAleer, the mother of Rice's child, re- quested a welfare check. A police union attorney attributed Rice's 2013 sus- pension to a protective or- der filed by McAleer's then- boyfriend, and said such issues "had nothing to do with his ability to perform his duties as a Baltimore police officer." Baltimore State's Attor- ney Marilyn Mosby vowed to bring justice to an ag- grieved citizenry when she announced the charges last year. She has yet to find success in court. After the acquittals, the other two officers charged in the 25-year-old pris- oner's death, Sgt. Alicia White and Officer Garrett Miller, filed motions to dis- miss their cases. Five of the officers, all but Goodson, have filed defamation suits against her, and a law professor at George Washington University, John Banzhaf, filed a formal complaint with Maryland's Attorney Grievance Commission al- leging Mosby pursued the charges without probable cause, which would violate her professional oath. Gray's death on April 19, 2015, prompted peace- ful protests followed by ri- oting that caused millions of dollars in property dam- age in the some of the city's poorest neighborhoods. Police commissioner Anthony Batts was fired and replaced with his dep- uty, Kevin Davis. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced she wouldn't seek re-election. The U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into allegations of exces- sive force and unlawful arrests.

It was just about a draw. The missus had dropped me off in the financial district for a business luncheon and had proceeded to the Hilton with the four children in the Ford Station Wagon. As she neared the hotel, she noted the police, the press and a large group of gawkers. As she got closer the first cop barked, "Move on, lady." The missus replied, "I want to register in the hotel." He said, "Move on!" She drove around the block, once, twice, three times. On the 3rd pass she parked in front of the main entrance. Cops swarmed over the car with fixed bayonets or something …the missus gets rather incoherent about this part. Police Chief Cahill got involved. He leaned on the car door, put his head near the driver's window and shouted above the din, "Lady, you can't park here!" The missus shouted back, "Listen! I've driven 200 miles with these four kids and I'm not going around this hotel one more time!" The Chief countered with, "But lady, Princess Margaret and Lord Snowden are due any minute for a luncheon at the hotel!". The missus responded,"Not one more time around the block…I've had it with you people!" As the press honed in on this conversation and the photographers began focusing theircamera lens, the Chief gave in. "Awright lady, aw- right! Just go around to the garage entrance and you can register there." So the tan Minch Ford station wagon arrived at the garage just as the black Rolls Royce sneaked in the back entrance… and the kids jumped out of the former and helped welcome Mr. and Mrs. Jones to San Francisco. … The aforementioned trip to the city was interesting in several respects. We visited the U.S. Army Procurement Center in Alameda to meet the buyers face to face that we talk to over the phone every week. I was shown the latest in Field Rations which were freeze dried and radiated. Amazing! A far cry from the old C Rations. Next we went to Multichrome Studios for further processing of the sound film we had just finished. The premier showing of the film will be at our employee's party at the fairgrounds on February 5th. There- after the film will be available for showing to organizations and clubs looking for free entertainment. Finally we visited the artist in Redwood City who will be doing a por- trait of my father destined to hang in the board room of theplant. … Lorne Green was at the Cow Palace Grand Nationals last week along with a lot of fancy high-tailed horses and such luminaries as Dr. and Mrs. Robert Stoufer, Robert Green and wife and actor Tab Hunter riding a grey jumper. Mr. Hunter was the only one of the group riding…the rest were just living it up.
