Parker warned the pub- lic to be aware of the Meth raids lead to arrests CORNING — Three Corning men and a Daly City resident were arrested after a series of drug raids Wednesday. Wesley Stanridge, 53, had previously sold methamphetamine to Tehama Interagency Drug Enforcement officers, according to a TIDE state- ment. Agents, executing a search warrant on Sanridge’s Orchard Avenue residence Wednesday, found 5.3 grams of methamphetamine, scales, packaging material, drug paraphernalia and five firearms, including a loaded shotgun resting against his bed, according to the statement. Stanridge was arrested on possession of metham- phetamine for sale, possession of methampheta- mine with a loaded firearm, maintaining a place for the sale of a controlled substance and an outstand- ing warrant for methamphetamine sales. Deena Davis, 54, Corning, was arrested on sus- picion of possessing drug paraphernalia and Doughty Douglas, 53, Daly City, was picked up for a pair of misdemeanor warrants for failing to appear in court. On the same day, William Newton, of Corning, was picked up on Toomes Avenue for two counts of selling a controlled substance.

After coughing, a person may have difficulty catching their breath, vomit or become blue in the face from lack of air. Between coughing fits, the person often feels well. Coughing spells may continue for several weeks or months. The cough is often worse at night, and cough medicines usually do little to reduce the cough. A safe and effective vaccine is available to protect against this dis- ease. Combined diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis immunizations are available for infants, children and adults. The complete immunization series is five shots given over time, typically beginning at 2 months of LOT Continued from page 1A ity from Interstate 5, Plan- ning Director Scot Timboe said. The zoning allows for limited retail-type activity, and there are other permitted and condi- tional uses besides an auto dealership. Contrary to what Troughton says, the zon- ing does not allow for gov- ernment or public agency use, Timboe said. Public agency use has its own zoning designation. Requests for a rezone can be made by submitting their age and ending around 5 years. However, vaccine protection usually begins after children have received at least the three primary doses, typ- ically completed around 6 months of age. Pertussis can be treated with antibiotics and plenty of rest and fluids. Persons hospitalized with severe pertussis may need special treatments to help them through the prolonged periods of coughing. Anyone with an unexplained cough illness or who has had con- tact with a person with pertussis is encouraged to contact his or her health care provider. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce the sever- ity of symptoms and shorten the contagious period. Antibiotics should be given to all household and other close contacts to prevent the spread of disease. a rezone application to the Planning Department and must be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. Troughton declined to say what types of busi- nesses clients have in mind, saying everything is still up in the air and he has not sealed a deal with anyone. From churches to major clothing retailers, the reuse opportunities for the vacant building are limit- less, but land use zoning codes make it limited, Troughton said. “It’s just this piece of heaven that is zoned like this,” he said. COUNCIL Continued from page 1A gained before a lay off would not go back retroactively, said City Attorney Mike Fitzpatrick. “It’s my understanding that they’re standing together,” Strack said. “(If there were layoffs,) it would all go back to the table.” Residents pointed out that if the agreements were separate, meaning each bargaining unit would only be affected if someone in that unit was laid off, the city could still save money with the three remaining groups. “There comes a time when you have to become the employer and take care of our money and do what’s best for the city,” Gena Bowen said. “This is way too generous. Renegotiate for the best interest of the tax payer.” Strack pointed out that in taking the furloughs, even if they had to lay peo- ple off, there would still be some sav- ings to the city, adding he was hopeful for no layoffs if the furloughs were in place. Councilmen Ross Turner said he was “vehemently opposed” to the deal because it would tie the hands of not RACE Continued from page 1A Parker conceded defeat Wednesday, when Hencratt was up 500 votes and 5 per- centage points.

If zoning codes cannot be change, Troughton said he would try hard to bring in a car dealership, as that is better than having an empty building. But he believes it will be tough to bring another dealership considering the local mar- ket already consists of Growney Motors, Helser Chevrolet and Corning Ford. City officials and buy- ers are not the only ones Troughton wants to strike up a conversation with. He wants input from the pub- lic, too. Troughton said wants to start a dialogue with the community to see what just the sitting council but anyone elected in November to fill an empty seat. Strack and Councilwoman Toni Parkins were the yes votes while Turn- er and Councilmen John Leach voted no. “That means we have $280,000 we don’t have saved,” Strack said. “It just amazes me. I feel like I’ve been slapped. I would feel much better if I lost a 3-2 vote.” The part-time contracts for City Manager Steve Kimbrough and Police Chief Tony Cardenas were stuck at 2-2 with Strack and Parkins voting yes and Turner and Leach no. “Mr. Mayor, council members and members of the audience, the city of Corning is experiencing difficult bud- get problems,” Turner said. “No one knows or can predict when the finan- cial picture will improve.” Turner said because of that he applauded Kimbrough and Cardenas for making an offer to go to part-time. He also made a motion to reassign them as part-time employees with the city paying only benefits required for part-time employees, which is FICA and Medicare contributions. The contracts for Cardenas and shrunk to 370 votes and a lit- tle more than 3 percent.

Kimbrough note the city would pay half the benefit amount paid to a full- time employee for health insurance, but they would not receive vacation time, administrative leave or sick leave. Kimbrough’s contract prohibits per- formance incentive pay or holiday pay. The city would pay $24.50 a month each for group life insurance and $6.60 a month each toward the state disabili- ty insurance plan. “This is just one more example of greed and the council thumbing its nose at the taxpayers,” Cofer said. In all, the savings to the general fund would have been $541,300 with a total savings of $724,500 from all the cuts, $79,300 of which came from cut- ting recreation and $281,000 from fur- loughs. The part-time contracts savings would have been $93,500 with Kim- brough and $106, 300 with Cardenas. The council will be looking at the budget again at its June 22 meeting.
