Tehama County Juvenile Court Judge Matt McGlynn and other local agencies who are involved in the foster care system are hold- ing the event after holding one in February, from which there was a request for a similar event, said Sherry Wehbey, Tehama County Department of Social Services Child Welfare Program man- ager, who is helping coordinate the event. The idea came from a discus- sion at a Expect More Tehama Summit when the question of how community members could get involved in helping foster youth was raised. The event is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12 at the Te- hama County Department of Ed- ucation Assembly Room at 1135 Lincoln St. in Red Bluff. "The event is for anyone inter- ested in helping foster children," Wehbey said. "They don't neces- sarily have to be a resource fam- ily. It's a chance for us to reach out and let people know what they can do and a place to get questions answered following a MAKE A DIFFERENCE Op po rt un it y Faire to pr om ot e foster care By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Two Red Bluff men arrested April 19 for their involve- ment in a suspicious relationship with a minor, including contact- ing the minor for lewd purposes, pled guilty Friday to the charges against them. Two other defendants in the case await a pre-trial conference. Bryan Morrison, 19, pled guilty on Friday to one count of arrang- ing a time to meet the minor, one count of participating in an act of sodomy with a person under the age of 18, which could be punish- able by no more than a year's time in jail or prison, and two counts of willfully and lewdly commit- ting any lewd act with a child who is under the age of 14. Morrison will be back in court for sentencing at 10 a.m. Nov. 21 in department one of the Tehama County Superior Courthouse on Walnut Street. Thomas Seagraves, 22, pled guilty to the same charges with an added count of committing lewd acts by use of force, violence or fear with of immediate and un- lawful bodily injury on a victim, according to the Tehama County Superior Court clerk's office. His sentencing hearing will be at 8 a.m. Oct. 24 in department one of the courthouse. Of the other two defendants, Michael Flowerdew, 20, of Red Bluff is scheduled for a pre-trial conference at 10 a.m. Oct. 28 in department four and Alexander Isaacson, 20, of Gridley is sched- uled for his pre-trial conference at 10 a.m. Friday in department two of the courthouse on Washington Street. Neither has entered a plea. The investigation was initi- ated by School Resource Officer Heidi Thomas, according to a press release issued April 27 by the Red Bluff Police Department. There was a review of more than 26,000 text messages during an eight-month period. Those mes- sages reportedly referenced sex- ual encounters between the sus- pects and victim. It was reported that Seagraves was initially the one who had a relationship with the boy and had forged a note for the boy to receive a ride from the bus to his house instead of the boy's home, according to the release. The suspicious nature of the note prompted the investigation. COURTS Menpleadguiltytolewdactswithminor Othertwodefendantsawaitconferencehearing By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter CORNING A new Dignity Health clinic that opened June 29 held a grand opening cere- mony Oct. 5 to announce the new services being offered at the Solano Street Medical Clinic. Located in the former Clark's Drug Store at 2126 Solano St., the clinic will offer same day appointments available from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday that can be made by stopping in or calling 824-4002. There are laboratory draw services offered to both clinic patients and non-patients from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well as bilingual staff. Two full time providers are available including Physician Assistant Juan Sarmiento and Nurse Practitioner Marianne Moses. The project, which was ex- pected to require up to $1.5 million in enhancements to the 6,000-square-foot building and property, has been in the plan- ning stage for about two years, but has been underway for a lit- tle more than a year, said Di- rector of Support Services Kris- tin Behrens. Kristine Kuebli will serve as the director of Rural Health Clinics at the Solano Street Medical Center, which will be a department of the hospital, Behrens said. The clinic, developed in re- sponse to identified needs of the Corning community and southern Tehama County, will offer primary care, specialty care, imaging services and health education. "The idea behind Solano Street is to increase access and primary care services to Med- icaid and Medicare patients in the rural communities of Corn- ing and the surrounding com- munities," Kuebli said. "It will also provide services to the rest of the insured population. Giving access to healthcare is really important. It's not just the access of being available, but being within reach so that transportation will be available to them." One of the benefits of the clinic is the relationship with the Dignity Health Medical Foundation, which allows for the business to bring in dif- ferent specialties on a rotat- ing basis in areas including orthopedics, cardiology, gy- necology and obstetrics, Beh- rens said. The clinic will have its reg- ular team of primary care that will work in collaboration with the specialists, Kuebli said. The building includes 12 exam rooms and a commu- nity education room for diabe- tes and perinatal classes along with on-site radiology and lab services with more extensive lab work being couriered to the hospital.
