As part of a community-wide effort, we are helping to spread the word!

As you may, or may not have heard, we have an opportunity to have Google put in ultra high speed internet wiring for free in Redding. They are doing it for only a handful of communities. Part of their determination will focus on how supportive and engaged the community is toward the project.

Your effort of a few minutes can make a big difference in the economic prosperity of our city. Having ultra high speed internet can mean the difference between a major employer coming to the area or going elsewhere.

Please take the time to read the attachment from the Chamber and follow the instructions at the end on how to lend your support.

Tooth Fairy payouts up 13 percent. Following the Dow Jones to see how the economy is doing? You might want to check another economic indicator: The Tooth Fairy Index. The promising news—for kids, anyway—is that the Tooth Fairy is paying out an average of $2.13 per tooth this year, up 13 percent from last year. According to a national poll sponsored by (no surprise) Delta Dental of Minnesota, the Tooth Fairy pays anywhere from 5 cents to $50 for recently-lost baby teeth placed carefully under pillows before bedtime.

The screws holding the front legs of the high chair can loosen and fall out and/or the plastic bracket on the rear legs can crack causing the high chair to become unstable and tip over unexpectedly, according to the recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

This recall involves all Harmony high chairs. They were manufactured from November 2003 through December 2009 and on the market until this month. They are no longer in production. Multiple model numbers are affected (check the recall notice for details). The model number can be found on the label on the underside of the foot rest.

Retailers that sold the seats include AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies "R" Us, Toys "R" Us, Sears, Target, Target.com, Walmart, WalMart.com, Shopko and USA Baby.

The CPSC is telling parents and caregivers to stop using the high chair and contact Graco to receive a free repair kit at (877) 842-3206 or via Graco's Web site.

The next step for the bill is Governer Schwarzenegger to either sign or veto it and, if signed, it will take effect immediately.  The bill would also be retroactive to include the 2009 tax year and stay in effect through 2012.
