Early Alert Canines is part of a pilot program with the California Department of Health and the Association of Public Health Laboratories. The CDC Foundation is funding the program. Arts and craft giant Hobby Lobby announced Tuesday that it will raise its minimum full-time hourly wage to $18.50, effective Jan. 1, 2022.
