Kevin Busekist also addressed the stu- dents. “A lot of times people associat- ed DUI with alcohol, but it’s any- thing that will cause impairment,” Coley said. While methamphetamine, mar- ijuana and other drugs are com- mon in DUIs, prescription drugs like Vicodin can be cause for arrest. While it’s legal to take Vicodin if prescribed, it is one of the drugs that warns it may cause drowsi- ness and can lead to impairment, Coley said. Students were reminded that if they were intoxicated they did have choices including, staying put or calling someone. “You can bet I’d be down there in a heartbeat if someone called me to tell me a family member was intoxicated,” Coley said. “I might be mad, but I’d also be thankful.” 2011 Continued from page 1A or psychology, addressed his classmates with a speech filled with reflection, expec- tations and encouragement, but mostly rhymes.

She was also found with a methamphet- amine pipe and was given an additional charge for possession of drug para- phernalia. Enlisting the help of the Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, two CHP K9 units, other CHP officers and two assists by CHP helicopters, Red Bluff Police were unable to find the fleeing suspect in the dense brush and vegeta- tion in the area, Flow- erdew said. Sheriff’s deputies evac- uated employees from Crain Orchards and asked that Antelope Elementary School go on lock down temporarily during the ini- tial search between 7:20 and 8:30 a.m. Thursday. The suspect, one of two unknown men who allegedly robbed the vic- tim and who are unac- counted for, was described as a dark-skinned man with a mohawk wearing dark-colored pants, logs said. His shirt was described Coley and Busekist, with the help of Community Services Offi- cer Clint Weston also did a demonstration of field sobriety tests with goggles that simulate what its like for someone who is impaired. The first thing officers do when stopping a potential DUI driver is to ask if they are sick or injured, are diabetic or epileptic, Busekist said. “We do that because if they’re a diabetic a diabetic reaction like low blood sugar mimics alcohol intoxication,” Busekist said. Students Brittany Tatro and Joshua Villarreal each tried their luck in passing field sobriety tests. Tatro was asked to take nine steps in a straight line with the goggles on in, close her eyes and estimate how long 30 seconds was while staying as still as possi- ble and count to four going for- ward and backward with the num- bers three different times. After successfully completing the counting once, she stopped. “That would be a fail,” Busek- ist said. “I asked her to do it three ored with the Principal’s Award, a coveted recogni- tion that is given out by the principal to whomever she chooses. There’s no rhyme or rea- son, no criteria for the award, Principal Cheryl Ramirez said. While she loves to give out the award, she always has to think long and hard about which student is most deserving because each one is unique. She chose Wilson because he is an outstand- ing leader. She praised him for organizing rallies and being responsible for run- ning events in the gym. Wilson speaks highly of their favorite dish.

Payne, 42, was driving west on South Avenue, approaching Mary Avenue at 55 mph, when George rode directly into the path of Payne’s vehicle. Payne tried unsuccessfully to avoid a collision, which caused alternately as either a gray sweatshirt, a dark-colored shirt, a cut-off, short- sleeved blue shirt or a black shirt with white let- tering, the logs said. Sheriff’s deputies reported finding a jacket floating in a creek in the area, but it is not known if it is related to the incident, logs said. The field was cleared just after 8 a.m. and offi- cers headed back to the motel where they arrested Ashley Nicole Turner, 24, also known as Ashley Poindexter, and Heath John Chaffin, 28, both of Red Bluff. They were each charged with possession of drug paraphernalia for having a methampheta- mine smoking pipe, Flow- erdew said. Two children, both younger than 6 years old, were removed from the motel and placed with Child Protective Services, he said. The children were not in the room where the robbery occurred nor in the vehicle during the inci- dent, he said. An orchard worker reignited the search when he told officers at 11:26 times and she stopped after one. It’s a divided attention test mean- ing I asked her to do a few differ- ent things. Part of the test is to fol- low directions.” The earlier test on walking the line involved multiple tasks as well, such as keeping her balance, counting, walking and listening to instructions, he said. Villarreal had to balance on one leg, while counting one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc. until he reached 30. Senior Matt Turner tried his hand at driving a golf cart through a course of cones and did well until he had to back into a desig- nated area. “It was intense,” Turner said. “It was more difficult than I thought and it influenced me a lot. It opened my eyes to the dan- gers.” Busekist said he wanted the students to laugh and have fun with the demonstration, but to realize driving under the influ- ence was a very real danger. “I’ve seen it first hand and I know no one is immune to DUIs,” Busekist said. “You may sit here Mercy High and has gone to several outreach events to speak to other students about the school. “He is a man of faith who lives his faith openly,” Ramirez said.

The CHP helicopter unit was called back again to search overhead while a tow truck came to collect the Toyota Yaris, Flow- erdew said. However, the suspect was still not found. At 12:24 p.m., a report came in about a suspicious person at Red Bluff Apart- ments on Sale Lane, logs said. The man, whose description is very similar to the man who fled, was moving around frantically and looking behind him at the road. He gave a stranger $10 to use a cell phone before he got into an older model Ford pick- up with a silver top and blue stripe on the bottom, the logs said. There is a good proba- bility that the suspicious person is one of the two suspects unaccounted for, Flowerdew said. The apartments fall in the route the suspect was following.

One such partner is the Oak Creek Golf Course, which donat- ed carts for the last five times the department has done demonstra- tions for students. Anneberit Condit, a victim advocate for the local Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter, was at the demonstration to invite students to a MADD event.

From winning rallies to excelling in sports, the class has been dominant in everything they do, a telling sign of how the graduates will conquer the future, Gasman said. Teacher Jim Weber spoke of each student, list- ing off the most valuable trait of each, as he addressed the class. From being humble, patient and compassionate to being an excellent friend, faithful and a good listener, there’s a little bit of everyone in each person.
