"The only way to reach any goal is to start mov- ing forward," Syed said. "These are our first steps." The night rounded out with the announcement of the volunteer of the year and business of the year. Responding with some surprise, Paulyne White, a Corning native, accepted her award as volunteer of the year. Honored for her dedication to beautify down- town Corning, helping with the hometown revital- ization projects, working with the parks committees and initiating the building of Martini Plaza, White expressed her gratitude. She was recognized by LaMalfa, Nielsen and Muerer. "Volunteers are the bonds of our community," Nielsen said. He said her honor comes from selfless dedication and devotion. The business of the year award went to Lucero Olive Oil. Dewey Lucero, who was reportedly in San Fran- cisco promoting the business, was unable to be there to accept the award but two employees accepted the award on the company's behalf. In introducing the award, Syed spoke of many reasons why Lucero Olive Oil was chosen. "Truly, it has identified itself as a leader in the California olive oil business," she said. Lucero has also invested his own money to cre- ate a logo and brand for the city, and helped move forward plans for wayfinding signs and more. In a short time, Lucero built a great business and improved the community, Syed said. Lucero Olive Oil was also given recognition by LaMalfa, Nielsen and Meurer. Along with funds raised through the dinner, the chamber was also presented with donations from Tehama County, Rolling Hills Casino, Bell-Carter Foods, Rabobank and the City of Corning, totaling nearly $8,000. The evening ended with more music by the Clamper's Boogie Band and dancing. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailynews.com.

Before the day of the funeral, more than 1,600 people said they would attend. A motorcycle group called the Patriot Guard Riders made its appearance near the church. The group follows the Westboro church members to funerals in an effort to separate them from members of the deceased person's family. Riders surround the protesters with their motorcycles and rev their engines if the protesters try to shout through them. The crowd was accompanied by a large number of police officers who helped guide the high volume of traffic on the street and were ready to protect Westboro church mem- bers if they made their appearance.

Students will be taught to have a solid understanding and apprecia- tion of the country's history and founding principles and to develop high civic and moral standards.

Oregon branches planned for closure are in Drain, Glide, Shady Cove, Running Y resort near Klamath Falls and the Airport Road office in Medford near the bank's corporate headquarters.

The bowling champions were Tiffany and Austin Keffer. Austin Keffer, a fourth grader at Antelope, was excited about his first win. They'd played before, but this was the first time they won and will have their names on the plaque, they said. The mother-son duo wore matching black T- shirts that read, "Wii play, do you?" Each of the top three winners in each category and age group were given medals. Once the new names are added to the trophy plaque, it will be on display in a case at the school.

The trooper was out of his cruis- er investigating a wreck near Lockwood when a semi-trailer struck it from behind.
