Good morning, Chico.

On Friday, Jun. 26, a bear killed a small dog at Loafer Creek in Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, prompting officials to remind visitors to keep dogs leashed and secure food items; no people were harmed.

Chico Area Recreation & Park District has scheduled the annual 4th of July Parade for Saturday, July 4 in downtown Chico.

The free event starts at 9 a.m. with T-38 jets flying overhead, and the parade moves from Third Street to City Plaza with the 191st Army Band playing from 10 to 11 a.m.

Chico’s Parks Department reports that Sycamore Pool remains under a water advisory because daily tests show elevated E. coli levels.

Testing confirms no O157 strain is present, but swimmers should rinse off after water contact as advisory precautions remain in effect all summer.
