The Corning meeting will be 6-7:30 p.m. at the Corning Union High School cafeteria, 643 Black- burn Ave. Parents, students and other community members filled the Red Bluff High School cafeteria Tuesday for the event, sponsored by a Substance Abuse and Men- tal Health Services Administra- tion grant, where students from Red Bluff High School's Friday Night Live and Salisbury High School gave presentations fol- lowing a panel of experts who answered questions after shar- ing their knowledge of prescrip- tion drug abuse. "We're excited to be invited here," said Ulanda Hinkston, Community Coalition project co- ordinator. "We are a community group seeking to prevent youth substance abused in Tehama County, raise awareness of the is- sue and advocate for changes in policies and community norms." Red Bluff police officer Lela Martinez, who started as the school resources officer in August, started off the panel. "It was huge eye-opener to the challenges our teens face in peer pressure of drugs and alcohol," Martinez said of coming to the school as a resource officer. "We have had 17 students cited or ar- rested for drugs or alcohol since August." There have also been several calls involving youth that the de- partment has been called out to where medical had to be called in for things like rapid heart rate or incidents that have brought about multiple day hospital stays because of alcohol or prescription drugs, she said. Once a student is cited, it doesn't just end with being turned over to the parents and if a child is booked into the Tehama County Juvenile Justice Center they stay there until they see a judge, which can be anywhere from overnight up to 30 days. "Up until they are 18, the par- ents are 100 percent responsible," Martinez said. "It's a $2,500 fee just for the Tehama County fee and that doesn't include the law- yer's fees or hospital if medical is MEETING DrugFree Coalition talks underage drug, alcohol abuse By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff Arby's was back up and running with windows and doors repaired the same day it was vandalized, and a Sacramento man arrested in connection with the early morn- ing incident. Nathan Fransua Lafromboise, 23, of Sacramento was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of vandalism in excess of $400, vandalism under $400 and burglary. Bail was set at $68,000. Red Bluff police were sent about 4:45 a.m. Wednesday for a report of a man breaking out a window at Arby's with a board and found Lafromboise inside the business, said Red Bluff Po- lice Cpl. Stephen Harper. Damage from the incident in- cluded a chair that had been sto- len from the business, value $70, a computer valued at $500 that was destroyed and a window, Harper said. Lafromboise was crawling out the window when officers ar- rived, but even if he hadn't been on scene, his wallet was left be- hind in the office, connecting him to the incident along with his name scrawled on multiple sur- faces, said the restaurant's man- ager Morgan Michael. While the majority of the dam- age was done to Michael's office in the back, which had a win- dow shattered as if someone had slammed it down, there was a mess throughout the restaurant that didn't make sense, Michael said.

The runway will be closed during the construction phase May 1-16. On May 17 the run- way will be reopened for a 30- day period to allow for curing of runway markings. It will be closed overnight on June 15-16 for final markings. The project is anticipated to be completed by June 16. The goal is to rehabilitate the pavement of the runway with a combination of milling and asphalt concrete overlay of the pavement in the southern 1,450 feet of the runway and placing a bituminous seal coat on the remainder of the run- way pavement. The mobilization phase has started and is anticipated to end on May 1. During this phase, the contractor is re- quired to submit the required design submittal, the safety documents and the quality control program documents to meet Federal Aviation Admin- istration requirements. The rehab project was orig- inally scheduled for construc- tion in the fall but was delayed to late spring to avoid the risk of weather-related construc- tion delays.
