Bridge update Tehama County residents and visitors have a few weeks to go on using a temporary bridge at Craig Creek in the Dairyville area. The bridge, which is in the process of being replaced, is being made using precast concrete pieces that are made elsewhere and trucked to the site where they are put together, said Caltrans Area Construction Engineer Jim Rogers. "They make the pieces ahead so it has time to cure, but it should take about three weeks," Rogers said. Normally, a bridge would be made a piece at a time with each section taking about 28 days to cure, he said. "We're hoping to have traffic on the new bridge and the majority of the work done within two weeks," Rogers said. "There's still paving and other things to do includ- ing taking down the old bridge. It should be done before Thanksgiving." Information on the project is available by calling Cal- trans District 2 office at 225-3260. —Staff report Search for missing Calif. hunter called off WEAVERVILLE (AP) — The Trinity County Sheriff's Office has called off the search for a 66-year-old man who went missing after going out on a hunting trip. Sheriff's spokeswoman Lynn Ward told The Times- Standard of Eureka (http://bit.ly/n2dmwO) on Wednesday the search for Joe Quen Sr. in the Yolla Bolly Wilderness near the Mendocino County border was called off the night before. Authorities searched the area for two days after the Humboldt County resident was reported missing on Satur- day. The U.S. Forest Service and the California National Guard assisted the Sheriff's Office, with the National Guard deploying helicopters. The National Weather Service says temperatures in the area reached lows of 32 to 48 degrees in the last week. Suspect in Reno shooting arrested in Shasta County SHASTA LAKE CITY (AP) — A man wanted in connection with a Reno shooting that left one man dead and two others wounded is in custody after a traffic stop in Shasta County. Authorities say Arturo Bolanos Jr. was arrested when agents with a drug enforcement unit pulled a car over in Shasta Lake City around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Sheriff's Sgt. James Beaupre says Bolanos, who was a passenger in the car, had initially provided a false name to the drug agents. When the agents determined the true identity of Bolanos, they arrested him on an outstanding murder warrant. Bolanos was wanted in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Marcario Ortiz and the wounding of two others in a Reno parking garage on Oct. 2. Authorities say the 25-year-old Bolanos is a docu- mented gang member. SCAM Continued from page 1A ing any bedrooms, he said.

A public hearing was held for an ordinance that would enact new building codes within the city. The staff report shows that two new codes, not previously applied in Corning, are among the many updates adopted. The first is the Califor- nia Residential Code, which is for one- and two- family homes and town houses and includes the requirement of sprinkler systems to all new con- struction. The second, the Green Building Standards Code, implements mandatory measures aimed at curbing HOUSE Continued from page 1A of rotten areas, general clean-up, new paint and carpet and moderniz- ing the bathrooms and kitchen. The house is in very rough condi- tion, Robison said. The boosters chose this house because it needs a lot of repairs and was close of enough to the school for students to access. "It was a bank foreclosure, and is in a very bad state of repair," he said. The Booster Club will buy the necessary supplies and is looking for as many community donations as possible, Robison said. Some of the items the project will require include roofing materials, lumber, concrete, windows, carpeting, plumbing fixtures, paint and land- scaping supplies.

The first sightings were reported last week near Vista, a bus stop in the Ante- lope area where the driver reportedly approached the students and in surrounding neighborhoods. On Wednesday morning, Vista staff spotted a dirty white van parked on Vista Way just before 11 a.m., according to police logs. The driver, a man in his 30s or 40s with a dark beard, was reportedly watching children in a physical educa- tion class. Officers were unable to find the van or the man. Friday, October 14, 2011 – Daily News 9A Around 3:20 p.m., Thursday, Vista staff again reported a suspicious white van near the school, accord- ing to scanner reports. The van reportedly had a white emblem on the window, and staff was able to pro- vide a partial plate number. About an hour later, the van was reportedly spotted on Antelope Boulevard, near Sale Lane. Police were unable to locate the van at that location. The suspicious van has caused concerns beyond local schools. While there haven't been any reports in Chico, offi- cials from the Chico Uni- fied School District on a carbon monoxide detector in every home, the state is leaving it up to local fire districts to enforce the new law and inspect homes, Bachmeyer said. There is no extra funding avail- able to do that. Instead, most enforcement in Red Bluff will come when homeowners apply for building or repair permits, he said. "We do urge everyone to get car- bon monoxide detectors," Bachmey- er said. "They do save lives." The fire department responds to numerous calls every year for car- greenhouse gas emissions, energy conservation and other environmental impacts of new construc- tion.

City Building Director JD Ellison said the benefits the project provides to the whole community justifies the waiver. These types of projects are good for the students and the community, he said. It helps students build con- fidence and beautifies the neighbor- hood. Barriga said the project provides a real life, hands-on experience for students and gives them a lesson in giving back through community ser- vice. "It's about knowing that you are doing something for more than your own gain," Barriga said. The school benefits from work- ing in conjunction with the Booster Club and helping to put out another livable property in the community. Many of the homes in the neighbor- hood surrounding the school could use a facelift. If this project is suc- cessful, it could serve as the jump start to future projects, he said.

The attorneys say the state's law legalizing med- ical marijuana was intended to allow it to be supplied to seriously ill people on a nonprofit basis. But the law has been abused by people who are just looking to get rich, they say. The action comes only months after the Obama administration tightened its stance on the issue. Media owners were wait- ing to see what happens before reacting publicly, Newton said. ''I think everybody needs to take a breath here and really think about the impli- cations of this issue and whether or not this is a rea- sonable effort and use of the limited resources of the U.S. attorney's office,'' Newton said.
