IDE ADOBE STATE PARK VOLUNTEERS CAMPAIGN TO REBUILD Roadwork in Corning and Orland was funded by the California Transporta- tion Commission during its meeting Friday in Sac- ramento. Corning will get $1.66 million to completely re- construct Solano Street between Third Street and Hoag Street, according to a release from the Trans- portation Commission. The existing sidewalk and street will be re- moved, replaced with re- configured motor vehicle and bicycle lanes and new sidewalks bulbed at inter- sections for pedestrians. Trees, decorative pavers, streetlights, benches and bike racks are included in the project. Orland is in line for $54,000 to reconstruct Papst Avenue between State Route 32 and Bry- ant Street. Curbs, gut- ters and sidewalks will be added, with drainage im- provements as part of the project. All told, the Transpor- tation Commission allo- cated nearly $223 million to 108 transportation proj- ects.

California, Davis to study biomedical engineering and minor in music. "Tonight we celebrate getting through high school," Sartori said. Getting through biology, thousands of calculations and being able to balance everything from sports and academics to other ex- tracurricular activities and beyond are just a few of the accomplishments. "There is one thing we will never forget and it's all of you in the audience," Sartori said. "We really couldn't have done it with- out you and we owe a huge thank you to you." In addition to parents, he thanked the faculty for always being available to the students for extra help when needed. "I will be sad to leave the circle of Mercy, but you have put us ahead in life," Sar- tori said. "Thank you all for making it a great high school experience." Shyanne Riberal-Norton and Marissa Starman gave the final student speech of the night in which they said Mercy could not really be classified as a school be- cause what it offered was so much more. "Family is the only word that describes Mercy," Rib- eral-Norton said. "The only tears that should be shed on our special night are tears of happiness." The group created fond memories and learned a whole new definition of multi-tasking while jour- neying from the class of 17 to the 25 in attendance Thursday, Starman said. Through their years to- gether the group has seen many changes, but it has also witnessed great cre- ativity that will serve the students well to the future, Riberal-Norton said. "It makes me fully confi- dent of our future and that everything we truly desire is within our reach," Star- man said. Teacher Scott Matthews gave the faculty address in which he told the students how proud he was of them and how they deserved so much more than the stan- dard speech. "The truth is you are awesome, you will have great lives and I will miss you," Matthews said. Throughout the eve- ning, musical entertain- ment was provided by se- niors from a duet by Chris Gray and Caitlin Landaker to a ukulele performance of "Somewhere Over the Rain- bow" by William Gentry.
