"We're here to do things for the community and in particular the youth," Post Commander Kevin Benson said. "The group has been stagnant for a while and now we're getting our name out there and getting known. We want to be doing more things like the car show and the veterans expo for the community." CAR SHOW AmVets to hold car show in August A Modesto man drowned Sat- urday while swimming at Brandy Creek Beach in Whiskeytown Na- tional Recreation Area. Family members last saw Eder Gustavo Sanchez-Perez around 3 p.m. swimming in the vicinity of the Brandy Creek Beach float, about 150 feet from the shore. Family notified the National Park Service's lifeguards around 5 p.m. that Sanchez-Perez was missing. No one knew whether he had left the beach area on foot or was swimming at the time of his dis- appearance. Lifeguards immediately closed the beach to swimming and com- menced a grid search of the swim- ming area. Lifeguards discovered Sanchez- Perez's body around 7:30 p.m. on the lake bottom, about 12 feet be- neath the surface. Shasta County Sheriff's Depart- ment Dive Team recovered the body with assistance from park rangers. Lifeguards estimated that there were about 500 people wading and swimming in the designated swimming area in the time frame of Sanchez-Perez's drowning. Temperatures reached 106 de- grees on Saturday and the Na- tional Park Service reported both beach parking lots were full by 11:10 a.m. Rangers restricted ac- cess to the Brandy Creek area around 11 a.m., turning back some 500 cars requiring visitors to wait up to 90 minutes until parking spaces opened. This was the first reported drowning at Brandy Creek Beach in more than 30 years. In 2010, the National Park Service, with support from the Friends of Whiskeytown, began a Free Life Jacket Loan Program. "This was a tragic event and our sympathy goes out to the San- chez-Perez family, said Superin- tendent Jim Milestone. "People should avoid entering the water without a life jacket if they do not consider themselves strong swim- mers. Prior to the park's Free Life Jacket Loan Program, lifeguards performed over 40 drowning as- sist rescues each year. Since the implementation of the Free Life Jacket Loan Program, lifeguard drowning assists average has dropped to the low 20s." Last year more than 1 million people visited Whiskeytown Na- tional Recreation Area. For more information, call 242- 3460.

He said he has received mul- tiple scholarships for rodeo and is looking to a career in rodeo. Bacon started at five years old when he was already winning awards for his rodeo talents.

The top 45 students in each event get to participate in fi- nals and then head to Nation- als, where they will compete with rodeo athletes from all 50 states and Canada and Australia. The top students in district one of the CHSRA, which in- cludes Northern California and Southern Oregon, are Ba- con; Kolby Bravos of Ander- son; Brushton Minton of Witter Springs; Haydn Morsa of Grants Pass, Oregon; Chase Alvenaz of Williams; Bodie Vaughan of Dor- ris; Levi Gray of Dairy, Oregon and Jessica Alosi of Palo Cedro.

"They would love to have your support as they travel to Rock Springs, Wyoming to compete for the National Title." For sponsorship informa- tion, send an email to kellyclen- denen@yahoo.com. The association hosts nine California districts and provides high school students with the op- portunity to thrive in youth ro- deo.
