Organizers of the competition gave back $2 from every ticket sold for Friday's event to the youth organization. "We are very grateful," said Hector Garnica, league board member. "We plan to put the money back into the fields and make improvements. Our goal is to get lighting out there so we can have longer practices." With two seasons, fall and spring, there are often times when it is getting dark early and the league can't hold as many of FREESTYLE Motocross event raises $2,800 for youth soccer By Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews.com @editorchip on Twitter LOS MOLINOS Valedictorian Al- exandria Madison used the "High School Musical" franchise to illus- trate her speech, complete with lines from the songs sung to punc- tuate key points, but the theme that ran through the speech set the tone in the gymnasium Fri- day night. Those who spoke during the Los Molinos High School gradu- ation ceremony reflected on how the last four years had trans- formed the students, preparing them for what lies ahead in their lives. Madison said she came to the school with expectations, some based on the movie she cited fre- quently, and those expectations changed each of her four years leading to graduation. Peppering the account with an- ecdotes, Madison recounted how LOS MOLINOS HIGH Growth, change mark class of 2015 By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter CORNING Black clouds in the sky and gusts of wind that knocked several plants over and snatched at least a few caps didn't deter Corning Union High School from cele- brating its students in a cer- emony Friday in which 205 graduates received diplomas. Amongst the graduates, there was a large group from one family with seven cousins graduating, including broth- ers Erik and Vincente Al- varado and their cousins Fidel Angeles, Christian Bobadilla, Noe Garcia, Leonel Macias and Giovanni Montes. Following the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance" performed by the Cardinal Band, Dominique Romo sang the national anthem and Class President Makaela Jackson gave the welcome address. Jackson thanked the au- dience for their support of her and her fellow graduates and told her classmates they should be proud of what they have already accomplished and what they will accomplish as they move forward.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama Trail Passport Weekend took place Saturday giving visi- tors and residents alike a chance to stop in and check out several producers and sell- ers throughout the county. "It's a fun event for people to come out, get to know their local farmers and en- joy their bounties," said Becky Klinesteker, general manager of Bianchi Orchards. "It's also a chance to see what's available in this county." This was the first year the event, usu- ally held the first weekend in June by the Tehama Trail Association, did not have an admission price, she said. "We normally get between 30 and 50 people," Klinesteker said. "I'm excited to see if it makes a difference in the turnout." The Tehama Trail Association is a group of local farmers and producers, including Bianchi, who produce the Tehama Trail map and operate under the umbrella of the Tehama Community Alliance, a local non-profit, Klinesteker said. "It's about raising awareness both through the passport weekend and the trail map of local farmers and ranchers and artists to help let people know what's out there in our community," Klinesteker said. "Through the association, we also have kiosks both locally and in different counties to help feature and move Tehama County products. We want to help our lo- cal businesses grow by finding outlets for them." The group does have one paid employee, Sandy Burkett, who picks up products from members and takes them to the ki- osks. There are kiosks at Enjoy the Store on Main Street downtown and the Tehama Country Visitor Center, 250 Antelope Blvd. There are three Kiosks in Redding, Klin- esteker said. Bianchi Orchards had a host of things for people to try on Saturday. In addition to the wine and walnuts the company sells, were featured a local artist, Angela Em- men of Anderson, musical entertainment by Colin Klinesteker and a booth for peo- ple to taste Pacific Sun Olive Oil. This was Pacific Sun's third year par- ticipating in the passport weekend, said Ivan Rodriguez, who works sales for the company. "We're small and we don't really have a retail storefront," Rodriguez said. "This event works for the majority of partici- pants. It helps with awareness." Emmen, a scenic photographer, was par- ticipating for the first time and she said she was excited to be a part of the event. Bev McGuigan of Los Molinos was par- ticipating in the event for the first time. "It's just lovely," McGuigan said. "They need more small shops like this."
