An- other fixed plate reader will be located at the Te- hama County District At- torney Bureau of Investi- gations office. An additional mobile plate reader will be used at those locations and throughout Red Bluff. Red Bluff City Council approved the implemen- tation of the program on Dec. 20, 2016. The device will read the license plates while vehi- cles pass by and send the information of the vehicles that come back as reported stolen. Dispatch will then relay that information to an officer near that loca- tion. The proposed location for the fixed plate reader is the intersection of South Avenue and 99W, as this is one of the city's most used intersections. There are other locations that will be considered, Fears said. Since the passage of AB109 and Proposition 47, cities have experienced a significant spike in stolen vehicle activity, according to the agenda report. This topic was discussed in detail at a meeting with the Chief's Citizen Advi- sory Committee, a 12-per- son committee comprised of people from the commu- nities, that concluded with a consensus that utiliza- tion of the technology was an appropriate and worth- while endeavor, Fears said.

"It's been very well re- ceived," said ATV Teen Dat- ing Violence Prevention Coordinator Leslie Henry. "Several teachers have had assignments connected to it and we've been invited into the classroom to have very candid conversations. We've been surprised and it's exhilarating to see how open and supportive stu- dents and faculty are and the sharing that has hap- pened so far." Many have asked whether texting and social media, which are such a huge part of students' lives in this day and age, are part of the cam- paign,saidATVTeenDating Violence Prevention Special- ist Nora Schwaller. "Technology is so much more a part of their lives than when we were teens," Schwaller said. "Texting and social media happen so much and students don't al- ways realize what they are experiencing is abuse un- til they are educated about different types of abuse. Sev- eral of the faculty have in- cluded assignments and they're hearing back things like 'I didn't realize how abusive my last relationship was or how abusive things at home are.'" The success of the cam- paign, as well as the various classes and the leadership program,isinpartthanksto support of the teachers and other faculty at the schools, Henry said. Freshman Xavier Mejia was one of several students to stop for a photo in the photo booth made available during lunch Tuesday. "Thisprojectisreallyhelp- ful," Mejia said. "It's good to raise awareness for the issue of teen dating violence. It's a real problem and people don't always see it." Ashley Wilkerson, a ju- nior, said she thought the project was awesome. "They're bringing up a topic that is really impor- tant for youth to under- stand,"Wilkersonsaid."Itall starts with a single relation- ship and sometimes that's as early as middle school." Freshman Karli Rainwa- ter, the 2016-2017 Teen Miss Tehama County, said the project was an important one. "It's really good for stu- dents to learn that love equals respect and I hope that's a message that spreads around the school and goes out into the com- munity," Rainwater said. Students were challenged throughout the day to take photos of themselves wear- ing orange and enter a photo contest on Insta- gram, which can be found using the hashtag #Expec- tRespectRBHS.

Croyle said officials are also monitoring the water- sheds and preparing for fu- ture runoff. "This next storm won't pose a threat to the emer- gency spillway and work we'redoingthere,otherthan slowing us up a little bit," Croyle said. Officials said helicopters couldbegroundedandheavy machineryparkedinwetand windy conditions for safety reasons. The work at the emer- gency spillway, Croyle said, resembled a war zone but "for all the right reasons." About 1,200 tons of rock, aggregate and slurry were being placed at the emer- gency spillway per hour, he said, as part of an opera- tion that has run around the clock. The effort to glue the eroded hillside together is being done in case officials need to use the emergency spillway again. Croyle added that the main, damaged spillway has been stable for the past five days.Officialssaiderosionat themainspillwaywentdown to bedrock, and the bedrock has held. "We'removingintheright direction,"saidChrisOrrock, a spokesman for the DWR. He added: "Our primary goal is the safety of the com- munity and the residents. And we're well on the way to armoringupthatemergency spillway ... and our main, primary spillway is holding strong." The Hyatt Powerhouse underneath the dam, which can release about 13,000 cfs, remained out of operation, Orrock said. And while offi- cials have taken measures to protect the power plant and have signaled that they want to get it back online, its op- eration is based on several factors. "Wewanttomakesureit's secure, that we can transmit electricity out of there," Or- rock said. He added that the power plant is usually shut down when releases down the main spillway reach 60,000 cfs. He noted that 100,000 cfs of water was go- ing down that chute. "So there's a lot of differ- ent factors that are going into the power plant, of why it's not operating right now," Orrock said.
