FATALITY Cyclist killedin Antelope collision By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF A new charter school will begin classes Wednesday in Red Bluff with the main goal of providing a place where students can learn and progress at a rate that works with their skills and interests. Lassen Antelope Volcanic Academy, or LAVA, is at 1660 Monroe St. — the former home of the Sacramento River Discovery Charter School — and focuses on providing a hands-on learning environment for students grades fifth through eighth. John Sheffield, the program's director, said the program follows the methods of the Ante- lope Elementary School District while adding more flexibility in scheduling. The new school allows for students to choose a traditional in- dependent study program or a hybrid program where they can attend class three to five days a week with core classes being taught from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The school offers an afternoon program that includes such electives as American Sign Lan- guage, dance, computer skills and guitar. The core subjects taught at the school are English, taught by Megan MacCaughey, Span- ish, taught by Marci Sebastien, math and sci- ence, taught by Monica Ashurst and social sci- ence, taught by Thomas Barbera.

It was held right af- ter the olive harvest sea- son, but as time went by it became too big to fit in the hall and to a park setting and eventually to August. This year because of the condition of Solano Street, which is undergoing a ma- jor overhaul, the Cham- ber of Commerce decided it was the perfect time to move the festival back to October. A few changes have been made to the festivi- ties leading up to the Ol- ive Festival as well. The annual Olive Festival Pa- rade will be held on the same day as the festival, at 9 a.m. Oct. 8 on Solano Street, instead of the Fri- day evening before.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A pair of cleanup projects were un- derway Friday morning in Red Bluff from the For- ward Park area behind the former Sacramento River Discovery Charter School on Monroe Street to an area behind Tractor Sup- ply on South Main Street near the railroad tracks. The multi-agency ef- fort was a collaboration between Tehama County Probation, Tehama County Sheriff's Depart- ment, California Fish and Wildlife and Red Bluff Po- lice, which was the lead agency, said Red Bluff Police Officer Stephen Harper. Red Bluff Public Works assisted in hauling out some of the 5.5 tons of trash, glass methamphet- amine pipes and hypoder- mic syringes collected by the crew supervised by probation. Greenwaste bins were donated and the Tehama County Landfill waived the dumping fee of $285, according to a press re- lease issued late Friday by the Red Bluff Police De- partment. Items from a shelter constructed of a mattress as part of a wall, a sheet as part of the roof and other materials sat surrounded by piles of trash while the inside was set up with a table with dishes, a couch and chair. Other areas had a random chairs sur- rounded by piles of trash from syringes and pre- scription pill bottles to a grocery cart and hoses stripped of copper. Items from walkers to a Radio Flyer wagon missing a wheel and mat- tresses that were barely recognizable littered the area. In a tree a stuffed animal was placed like a Christmas ornament just hanging out.
