- More than 27,000 packages of Lundberg Family Farms organic white jasmine rice have been recalled over potential contamination with “foreign materials”. The rice was produced in Butte County and distributed across 13 states, including California. Affected 2-pound bags carry “best before” dates of Feb. 1, 2027, and Feb. 2, 2027, with lot codes 260201 and 260202.
- The Wildlands Conservancy is purchasing the 14,000-acre AP Ranch in Siskiyou County for $16.9 million, with escrow expected to close this fall. The deal expands the Beaver Valley Headwaters Preserve to more than 20,000 acres and protects habitat for salmon and steelhead along the Scott River headwaters. Established in 1856 by Alexander Parker and owned by the Newton family since 1961, the property is one of California’s oldest ranches.
- Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln is hiring for more than 100 part-time and full-time positions, from food servers to emergency medical technicians.

Candidates must be at least 18, pass drug and background checks and be available on weekends and holidays; some roles require applicants to be 21.
