The first three sanc- tuaries were victims of a common scourge in western towns, fire. The first two structures were totally con- sumed, and the third sufficiently damaged the sanctuary to require it be demolished in 1968. The current structure was completed in 1972. Some of the stained glass windows from the last fire were saved, and they now adorn the First Church of God, a gift from the Presbyterian congrega- tion. Three other windows are dis- played in the current sanctuary. Last year the congregation donat- ed some $60,000 to local and world- wide missions, supporting such diverse activities as a safe water pro- ject in Ethiopia, theological educa- tion, worldwide peace initiatives, and disaster relief, as well as local missions such as Alternatives to Violence, the Poor and the Home- less (PATH), the Relay for Life, the repair and maintenance of Camp Tehama and Catholic Social Ser- vices.

The group is hoping to see younger members join, Jessie Neff said. “We need younger members so much,” he said. “Most of our mem- bers are World War II vets that do what they can and I love them for that.” Justin Iiams was in the middle of the ocean on transit from Hawaii to San Diego when the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania happened on Sept. 11, 2001. As one of the few younger members Iiams is hoping to see more younger people join, he said. Iiams served in the Navy from 2000 to 2004. He said he enjoys living in a smaller community where veterans take the time to greet each other and people stop in stores to thank him for his ser- vice, which is something that wouldn’t happen in a larger area. “Friends left me a mes- sage on Facebook this morning to thank me for serving and it made my day,” Iiams said. “Just a simple thank you is all we really need.” Iiams said he enjoys that Red Bluff Union High older veterans, such as those in the Marine Corps League Detachment 1140 who served in the Vietnam and Korean war era, are glad to see the change in attitude others now have toward them. The attitude toward vet- erans has definitely changed since the days when they returned from the Vietnam War, unit Commanding Officer Buddy Male said. The atti- tude people have now compared to then is much better. A building should take shape within the next couple of weeks, Dhugge said. The $3.5 million pro- ject should be completed by January with the gas station opening in early February. There will be six fuel dispenser stations and a convenience store with all the offerings of a conven- tional AMPM. In the meantime, the $10 million Holiday Inn Express project is on hold while Dhugge continues to search for a loan. Member Roy Fansler agrees saying, “Attitudes immensely have changed and I’m happy as a clam to see that.” ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.co m. Once the gas station is completed and operating, income from that operation will be used to offset some of the costs associated with the hotel project, Dhugge said. Building should proceed quickly once the loans are secured. Dhugge still expects the hotel to be complet- ed by the end of 2011. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com.

Edward Chupp of Ger- ber is a new member of the Red Bluff VFW post — a transfer from the Los Molinos Post. Chupp was a reservist in the Navy starting in 1965 including some time spent on the USS Tappa- hannock, which he helped commission in New Orleans in 1965. Chupp spent time at the gathering talking with guests and other veterans and proudly displaying the Cruisebook from the 1966-1967 West Pac tour on the USS Tappahan- nock.

For the past 15 years the congre- gation has sponsored an ecumenical choir workshop and worship service in February, led by Allan Petker, an internationally recognized compos- er and director. It is attended by choirs from throughout the region, and the worship service led by the combined choirs is always well attended.

Chupp was honorably discharged in 1972, but still has many of his old identification cards and even a pocket size booklet, “Atomic, Biological and Chemical Warfare Pocket Reference.” Asked about the impor- tance of having groups like VFW and American Legion for returning veter- ans, Chupp said they are important. “You always need somewhere to go for camaraderie and support,” Chupp said. “We’re in the community, so we’re a part of it, so we want to be recognized. Freedom has a very high price that many men and women paid for with their lives.” Barbara Cowley served as a nurse in the Naval Hospital Corps and said she is looking to form a women’s post and not just join the auxiliary. “I did not go to war, but now women do so what I want is to start a chapter for the women,” Cowley said. “I was in the military on equal footing and I’m looking to bring us, old and young, back to equal footing.” Cowley plans to archive stories of women who served in the military, she said.
