CORNING The 25th An- nual Olive Festival is com- ing up soon and it's time to make your plans to par- ticipate. The parade entry forms have been sent to those who have participated in the past. If you would like to be in the parade, 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, you may call and we will send you an entry form or you can stop by the office at 1110 Solano St. to pick one up. We have Corning Cash prizes for the top three winners plus a perpetual plaque. The "Corning Does it Bedder" Bed Races will take place right after the parade on 6th and Solano. We have beds to loan if you don't have one and would like to participate. Kids will be able to race for fun as long as they have the permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. We have them at the chamber office and will have them at the bed races as well. The Corning Volun- teer Fire Department will hold its delicious pancake breakfast 7-10 a.m. Satur- day, Aug. 23, but take note that this year it will be at the Fire Department, 814 5th St. Have your breakfast and then come over to Wood- son City Park where lots of things will be taking place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The park will be full of food, arts and crafts and infor- mational booths for you to mosey through. The Olive Festival Com- mittee has come up with some activities involving the olive which we are calling the Olive Olympics, which are fun and easy competitions for all ages. The Olive Pit Spitting Con- test will take place again this year and we expect a lot more participation since it was so popular the first year. There will be live music throughout the day and Olive Tours lead by Mayor Gary Strack. It was so pop- ular last year that we have added an additional tour. The TRAX bus will pick up passengers from the park at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. Sign-up for the tour will be at the chamber booth under the big white tent. Come and learn about the history of the Corning ol- ive. If you like to cook, there is a great opportunity to win some cash at the Ol- ive Cook-off. Grand Prize is $200.

CORNING CHAMBER Olive festival is just around the corner If you want to send your children or grandchildren to college, retire comfortably and achieve other im- portant life goals, you will have to in- vest — it's that sim- ple. But the process of investing can some- times seem anything but simple. What can you do to gain confidence that you are making the right investment moves? The answer may depend on how involved you want to be with your invest- ment decisions. Initially, you might think that you would like to be totally "hands on." After all, how you save and invest your money is unquestionably a highly personal matter. And once you start explor- ing the investment world, you may find it fascinating, as it entails virtually every human en- deavor imaginable: business, politics, science, the environment, and so on. But if you want to completely run your own show, you will need to put in a lot of work — such as studying the finan- cial markets, staying up- to-date on changing in- vestment environments and monitoring your port- folio to make sure it is still appropriate for your finan- cial needs and goals. Most people find that they do not have the time or expertise to manage this investment process on their own, which is why they turn to professional financial advisors. The key advantage in working with an advisor is that he or she knows your risk tolerance, goals and family situation, and can help you create a personalized, long-term in- vestment strategy. A good financial advisor will com- municate with you regu- larly and make recommen- dations. A financial advi- sor can offer you a variety of strategies and types of investments — such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds — to help you work toward your goals. Ulti- mately, though, you will be the one to make the "buy" or "sell" decisions. Some investors prefer to leave even the buy-and-sell decisions to professionals. Most financial advisors of- fer advisory programs that take care of this for you. With these programs, you choose a professionally managed portfolio of in- vestments. The programs typically offer a wide range of portfolios, so you can choose one that's ap- propriate based on your needs, goals and risk toler- ance. Each portfolio con- tains a broad range of in- vestments that are se- lected by professional analysts and represent a variety of asset classes. Advisory programs also of- fer a sophisticated rebal- ancing process designed to keep your assets allocated appropriately, which can help keep you on track to- ward your specific finan- cial goals. Whether you choose to make your own decisions in consultation with a fi- nancial advisor or to in- vest in an advisory pro- gram — or both — you re- ally should learn as much as possible about your in- vestments. Whichever method you decide is best for you, remember that in- vesting involves risk, and investment performance is never guaranteed. So make sure you're ask- ing the right questions, such as: What are the risk characteristics? How has a particular investment vehicle performed relative to others in its category? What are the tax implica- tions of owning and sell- ing a specific investment vehicle? What are the costs and fees associated with each choice? As you may have heard many times, knowledge is power — and that's cer- tainly true in the invest- ment arena.
