Theconstructionandren- ovation portion of the res- taurant project has been completed and there are just afewminorthingsleftto get done, such as the replace- ment of a door and getting the coffee machines hooked up, said owner Val Karel, who was the former owner of the restaurant with part- ner Leigh Duggale. Karel and Duggale owned andoperatedtherestaurant, formerly called Valeigh's Airpark Restaurant, from 2005 to 2013. Now the pair are back with a new name and a new restaurant.

Jerry Brown, but lost her bid to retain the position in 2014 to Carlson. Carlson did not respond as of Friday to questions posed earlier this week and follow-up requests, however during previous candidate nights she com- mented on some of the is- sues below. She is a sup- porter of local veterans and holds town hall meet- ings monthly for the com- munity to come together to discuss the issues. Question: Why are you the best choice for District 1 Tehama County Su- pervisor? Bruce: I have been in public service for over 30 years. First working for Tehama County Social Services for over 28years. Public service is what I know and love. I am very familiar with county govern- ment and its operations. I believe I am the most committed candidate to represent all the different and diverse sections of our population. I have run my campaign with contribu- tions from working and retired folks, and not from any special interest groups, so that I don't feel any financial obligation to them, but will represent all. Public service is what I have done most of my working career. I believe my commitment, knowl- edge, and reliability make me the best choice for District 2Supervisor. Question: What would be your top priorities if elected and how will you go about accomplishing your goals? What are your most criti- cal issues in your district that you will address in the four-year term? Bruce: Maintaining local control, public safety, job development, water and property rights. We must keep a vigilant eye on Sacramento and new legislation that could affect our rural way of life, which also includes our water and property rights. We need innovative ideas and at- tractive ways to bring new business and small manu- facturing to our county. We need this kind of job development to improve our economy. There is no simple solution, we must all work together as a commu- nity. Carlson: The top three is- sues in the county include drugs, lack of jobs and teen preg- nancy. I propose we work on a place for people who have problems with drugs to get help. I would also like to continue to promote more tourism, which would result in added jobs. Q: Annually the unemploy- ment rates in Tehama County remain higher than other counties in the state. What will you do and what are your plans, if elected, to help change this. Bruce: Job development and recruiting new busi- ness to our county, which would provide year round employment, is needed to help bring down our unemployment rate. Our unemployment rate fluc- tuates with the seasons, making year round em- ployment a crucial factor to this issue. Carlson: Creating situa- tions where people want to do business in the area is the key to creating more jobs. Q: What do you think the county has done to help the homeless situation and what do you plan to do yourself to help the home- less in Tehama County? Bruce: Limited resources make this a very difficult question. I'm sure we all wish we had the perfect answer to homelessness. We must work together as a community. One single entity can't solve this issue alone. Many of our churches open their doors to provide free meals and sometimes temporary shelter for the homeless. O en many of these folks need help with drug and alcohol issues, employment guidance and training. These services are avail- able but o en aren't known by those who might seek them. This really will take a collaborative effort by many groups and services, coming together to seek a workable answer. District 2 FROM PAGE 1 that Nichols was not pres- ent. Thanking family and friends for attending, she paused to reflect on the fact that the evening was a cele- bration of accomplishments and a shift of focus to where the students will be going next. She asked that stu- dents remember the past, but not forget to focus on and cherish the present. "This is the last summer you will all be together," Botell said. "Cherish your friends now. "Marysa couldn't make it because her life wascutshort.Theempty chair here is to honor her. I hope as a class you remem- ber that you never know when you will say goodbye. Cherish your friends." Ericka Navarette re- minded students to remem- ber the lessons taught to them first by their parents and teachers, but also their friends. "Remember the lessons taught, the experiences and that each person has a les- son to be taught and a les- son to teach," Navarette said. "That the small les- sons are invaluable such as how to be kind, courteous and brave." It was also important that if she, with stage fright and anxiety, could be up speak- ing to an audience that they believe they can overcome anything, she said. Graduate Evan Meagher greeted the group announc- ing his presidential hopeful of the future before asking students to remember that there future is what they make of it. "The beautiful thing is we are the ones who de- fine success," Meagher said. "You are the only one who can pass judgement on your decisions. Some want to rule the world, some want to change the world, some want to change the world and some want to just make a living. Find what success means to you and follow it through. Just remember to celebrate the small suc- cesses. Don't take today's victory for granted." While he is not attending Chico State, he has always admired their motto of To- day decides tomorrow and that is something graduates should keep in mind. Lastly, going into things with a pos- itive attitude can change a person's outcome and find- ing balance in life between work and play is important, Meagher said. In presenting the grad- uates, Associate Principal Miguel Barriga told stu- dents to go away, pausing before adding the words to do things worthwhile, do things with heart and to do things that are their aspira- tion. "If you can leave Red Bluff, go," Barriga said. "When you come back, you will appreciate the trees and also the hard working peo- ple that makes the commu- nity. Come back and build the community. Remember that if it's worth doing, it won't be easy." There will be good times, bad times and times they just want to come home, he said. Those are the times that will tell them they are pushing themselves and shouldn't give up. If they persist and keep the right attitude, they can achieve great things, Barriga said. Superintendent Todd Brose accepted the gradu- ates, reminding them to let their enthusiasm for life be such that it rubs off on those around them and to remain committed and to be ac- countable, holding to the values they have already set for themselves. "Support your family and friends and let them support you," Brose said. "Red Bluff High School wishes you the best of luck." The evening closed with a farewell speech given by Ryan Gamboa. Grads FROM PAGE 1 20 acres in the county with the intention of hunting the land but quickly fell in love with the area, he said. Law- rence moved to Cottonwood permanently in 2000. He be- lievesthecountyboardneeds a new vision and new ideas, which he says he can bring. The following questions were asked of each candi- dates: Question: Why are you the best choice for County Su- pervisor of District 1? Chamblin: I've spent my whole career in Tehama County and raised my children here. My family has always been very active in the county and we continue to be active in the communi- ty. I've had a lot of experience with first time evolution kinds of programs including being the first tobacco-use preven- tion education coordinator for the county of education. I've also seen some of the changes from over the last 40years from a private and public entity, raising my children here as well as being a public employee, and I am fairly familiar with the kinds of unfunded mandates that come down from state and federal agencies and how they impact us. I think my requisite experience in crimi- nal justice, education and drug and alcohol and mental health services is in line with some of the changes that are coming from the state of California. Lawrence: The current District 1Supervisor has been disconnected from his constitu- ents. He has done little to reach back to people who elected him. I would be a better choice for supervi- sor because I know how important it is to listen to the people in the community and insure that their concerns and ideas are represented. One of my first priorities will be to move at least one board meeting a month to evening hours so that working people can have access to the board. The board needs a new vision and new ideas. Q: What would be your top priorities if elected, and how will you go about accomplish- ing your priorities? What are your most critical issues in your district that you will ad- dress in the four-year term? Chamblin: We really need jobs in the county, so there- fore my top priority is roads and road funding. Without the additive infrastructure people could drive into our county and have no interest in looking to build jobs here. There has been a shortfall in road funding, that would just maintain the roads, of nearly $4.8million. If the roads turn to dirt and gravel it will be much more costly to repair them again. I want to continue to push the issue so that we can get the funding for the roads. Roadways and funding for roads is number one, and a close second is public safety. Our sheriff and police departments do very well and I think we will have to invest more over time in public safety, that's a real issue. Lawrence: Protecting our water rights is a high priority. While water storage and conservation are critical components of a compre- hensive water plan, it will mean little if there is no water to conserve or store because we have allowed our water to be outsourced. In addition we need to closely monitor our current ground water levels. I am also aware that crime and homeless- ness are a problem in our county, I believe they can be reduced by improving the employment rate and creating better jobs. Finally we need to make the board of supervisors accessible to the working public by moving a least one board meeting a month to evening hours. Q: Annually the unemploy- ment rates in Tehama County remain higher than other counties in the state. What will you do and what are your plans, if elected, to help change this. Chamblin: I think number one, if we could attract a large business that would be great but short term. Overtime this can be fixed. I'm not an expert on creating jobs but from what I've heard from listening to business and talking to people that have businesses is that we have a lack of entry level laborer to come to work. I would like to see a day program, if possible, set up where job seekers and employers, contractors and others could attend to learn these skills and recruit work- ers, so that people could have the requisites skills to come in and do entry level work. This would be a great opportunity for those who are looking for employees and those who are look for employers. Lawrence: The County needs to work on bringing in light manufacturing firms. I believe we can do this by focusing on attracting companies with good paying jobs. Q: What do you think the county has done to help the homeless situation and what do you plan to do yourself to help the homeless in Tehama County? Chamblin: If we had more jobs and had more job train- ing to get peoples skills to become an entry level skilled person, this issue could get better. It is important to cre- ate integrative work training programs with jobs in our county to help people get employment and employment skills. This will also help to better attract people that may want to bring in new industries and new jobs to Tehama County. Lawrence: Homelessness is a complicated issue with several underlining causes raging from mental illness, to alcohol and drug abuse, to lack of opportunity. While the non-profits have done a great job in working with the homeless, much more needs to be done. I believe a good start is proving more oppor- tunities to earn a livable wage by attracting new business into the area. District 1 FROM PAGE 1 is elected "they will be ap- preciated again." After a flyby of the air- port the plane landed and Trump emerged to a huge cheer from the crowd, both inside and outside the gates. Starting with a quick comment about the tem- perature, Trump launched into attacks on Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. While he would touch on a number of topics over the course of his speech, he regularly re- turned to attacking his op- ponents,mostlyClinton,and the press. Invoking the term "si- lent majority," popularized by Richard Nixon in a 1969 speech, Trump said "Well, we're not silent any more," prompting a raucous cheer from the crowd. Calling himself a messen- ger, Trump called Clinton "a thief" and promised that if he is elected he will have the Attorney General inves- tigate her, saying she should be in jail. Trump also got a strong audience response when he spoke about immigration is- sues,claimingtheborderpa- trol endorses him. "We need strong borders," Trump said. "A wall is vi- tal.... It's going to be a real deal wall." Coming on the heels of visits Thursday from both Sanders, at California State University, Chico, and for- mer President Bill Clin- ton on behalf of his wife, at Shasta College, Trump said the GOP often writes off California as un-winna- ble by this point in the cam- paign. "If (Ted) Cruz won, he wouldn't be here now," Trump said. About 40 minutes into the speech some support- ers began heading for the parking lot and the crowd outside the gates thinned considerably. Trump returned to at- tacks on Clinton, saying "If you choose Hillary Clinton, this country will die." In closing, Trump prom- ised he would "knock the hell out of ISIS," repeal "Obamacare" and seal the border. "We're going to save our second amend- ment." Before telling the crowd to make sure to vote Tues- day and in November, Trump stirred them up with his slogan. "We're going to win, win, win," Trump said. "We're going to make America great again, I say greater." The rally generated some controversy on social me- dia when Trump touched on race. At one point Trump sin- gled out a black supporter in the crowd, Congressional candidate Gregory Cheadle from Happy Valley. Trump was describ- ing an incident at a pre- vious rally when a black supporter "slugged" a pro- tester dressed in a "Ku Klux Klan outfit." Trump then spotted Cheadle and said "Oh, look at my African-Ameri- can over here. Look at him. Are you the greatest? You know what I'm talking about? OK." While some Trump ral- lies have seen protests and sometimes violence, there were no obvious signs of protesters at Friday's event.
