"There are so many op- portunity to become a mentor," Mendonca said. "It's a great way to get in- volve and make an power- ful impact in the commu- nity." Corey, coordinator for the new Restore Program, will be presenting on the ins and outs of her pro- gram at the forum. Ini- tially the program will only benefit the youth of southern Tehama County, she said, but she hopes to bring the program to the entire county as it grows. Corey's program fo- cuses on helping low-risk juveniles turn their lives around through the power of mentoring, she said. It is an 18-week program that will help identify the child's needs and then ca- ter to each individual need to help each unique child. The public is encour- aged to attend Wednes- day's forum for more in- formation about these programs and to consider getting involved. Volunteer FROM PAGE 1 Educator Vanessa Contre- ras and Registered Dieti- cian Letisia Rios were avail- able to talk to kids about nutrition and the dangers of tobacco. Registered Den- tal Hygienist Sean Agy had a booth set up to talk to children and parents about proper oral hygiene. "We are trying to raise awareness of the impor- tance of oral health and how it is related to whole body health,"" Jacobson said. "We really want to get the message out that den- tal disease is preventable. We also want to teach that the first dental visit should be scheduled by age one or the first tooth." Thousands of dollars in dental care was provided to those ages 1 to 19 with- out insurance, including dental health screening, dental cleaning, root canal therapies, stainless steel crowns, restorations, seal- ants and fluoride varnish applications, Rolling Hills Dental Director Charmaine Ng said. There were also after care appointments set up at both Rolling Hills Clinic and Greenville Ranche- ria for those whose treat- ment was not able to be completed Saturday. The event and the aftercare is all made possible by dona- tions from the community, she said. In addition to address- ing the needs for access to dental care, the event helps families connect with so- cial services to see if they qualify for Medi-Cal and let them know where they can find a dentist who takes Medi-cal. The number of people who qualify for Medi-Cal is significantly higher than those who are enrolled in it, Ng said. The hope is that having social services on hand to answer questions will get information into the hands of those who qualify. "We're helping a lot of kids," Ng said. "That's a great feeling." Donations of supplies are accepted yearly through the first week of January while monetary donations are handled through Paige Da- vison at Head Start, 220 Sycamore St., in Red Bluff. Checks can be made pay- able to Head Start.

Cardenas received a cer- tificate of recognition from Rep. Doug LaMalfa and was presented a certificate by Jerry Crow on behalf of State Sen. Jim Nielsen and Assemblyman James Gal- lagher. Chamber member Yvonne Boles presented Cardenas with a heart that not only represented Carde- nas' love for her community and mankind, but listed several of the traits she had demonstrated throughout her leadership including faith, friendship, compas- sion, sincerity and kind- ness. Boles told of the time a man came to the chamber looking for food and Carde- nas went to the back and found him an apple, a half a sandwich and dessert. "You know that say- ing that 'to the world you may be just one person, but to one person you are the world,'" Boles said. "That day you were the world for that man." Boles presented a plaque with an eagle representing the way the chamber soared under Cardenas' leadership, she said. As someone who came to the chamber "only to answer phones for 20 hours a week," who wasn't sure she was qualified to be manager and was just there until the board found a re- placement, Cardenas was an asset, Boles said. "Thank you for all your hard work and long hours that you put in," Boles said. "You always listened and gave thought to what was said. Sometimes it was a rocky road, but you always handled it with grace." Kimbrough, retired Corning city manager, an- nounced the Volunteer of the Year award went to re- tired Police Chief and sit- ting City Councilman Tony Cardenas. Over Tony Cardenas' years with the city, he was instrumental through vol- unteer work in a num- ber of areas, including the development of Martini Plaza and planting trees along Solano Street, Kim- brough said. He was in- volved in bringing the Te- hama County Police Activi- ties League (PAL) program south to Corning, developed and implemented the Juve- nile Justice Intervention Program that won a state- wide award from League of California Cities and led ef- forts to develop the Corning K-9 program. Tony Cardenas helped volunteers seek council approval for playground equipment at Northside Park and Flournoy Park and has been chairman of the Corning Rotary Wine, Food and Art Festival for 11 years. He led efforts for res- toration of the Rodgers The- atre and for three years has managed the farmers mar- ket in addition to volunteer- ing for all of the chamber events. Dale McFall and his wife Tammy, who own Ranch- ers Meat and Deli, were recognized as Business of the Year. In the recent hail storm that hit the south county, the business suf- fered major damage that led to the temporary closure of the deli portion while re- pairs are made. Despite this setback and numbers jump- ing from 60 to 150 people in the last week, McFall still was able to prepare the meal for Saturday's dinner. "Dale and his family are 'get 'er done' kind of peo- ple," Tony Cardenas said. "Don't seem to let anything stop them, not matter what the challenge." A perpetual plaque was handed out to winners of the Hometown Christmas Parade and winners of the lighted house contest were recognized. Meeds and Poisson gave a speech as outgoing and in- coming presidents. Meeds thanked Haywood for the opportunity to serve as president and thanked the entire board who made her job possible. "The chamber's like a large family," Poisson said. "Many of the past presi- dents are still members and it's a privilege to be a part of it. I want to work with local businesses to build stron- ger relationships with each other and build a stronger web presence on the cham- ber website. I also encour- age you to support your lo- cal businesses to keep them thriving. I'm looking for- ward to a great year."
