"This is a seven-day hunt for two hunters for a plains game hunt, and it includes the service of a licensed professional hunter, transportation from Johannes- burg to and from the beauti- ful lodge, all meals, water, soft drinks, wine or beer, laundry service, use of a hunting vehicle and support team," said Sunrise Rotary Secretary Sharon Cham- bers. Hunters can have their choice of either an impala or a blesbok to hunt or can upgrade to other types of hunts for additional costs. Raffle tickets, of which there will be only 100 sold, will be $20 each. For information on the hunt visit: http://nbsafaris. co.za. The evening will include other raffle and auction items available. This is the 10th year for the fundraiser, which has usually been a crab feed, but is under- going a bit of change this year, Chambers said. "It was always a crab feed so we decided we wanted to do something different," Chambers said. "The community has told us they need a change from the multiple crab feeds recently." Tickets for the event, which begins at 5:30 p.m., are $55 for an eight-ounce lobster, eight- ounce prime cut filet mignon, clam chowder, salad, rolls and dessert. They can be purchased from members or at the door. "We so appreciate the commu- nity's continued support," Cham- bers said. "Sunrise Rotary is a small non-profit early morning club, but large enough to make a significant difference in our community." Proceeds from the event will go toward scholarships for local high school and college students, helping to provide dictionaries for all third grade students and many other community needs. For dinner tickets or raffle tickets for the hunt, call Cham- bers at 921-3976 or visit Jessie Woods at the Gold Exchange, 413 Walnut St. in Red Bluff.

During the meeting, the coun- cil voted unanimously to adopt the resolution amending the bal- lot measure question and to send the ballot measure to the Tehama County Registrar of Voters for in- clusion in the ballot presented to the voters in the election. The measure states: "Shall the ordinance of the City of Corning authorizing a transactions and use tax (sales tax) of one-half of one percent to raise, annually with no set duration, approxi- mately one million dollars in gen- eral fund revenues to be used for existing police and fire services, or any other lawful municipal use, to be adopted?" City Manager Kristina Miller recommended that two city coun- cil members draft a statement of support for the measure to then be reviewed by legal coun- sel and subsequently submit- ted to the Tehama County Elec- tions Department by March 11. The item passed and Mayor Tony Strack and Councilman Dave Lin- net were appointed to draft the statement and make any neces- sary changes. One change Corning citizen Su- san Price mentioned she would like to see was the need for "street maintenance" to be placed in the statement and ballot question af- ter "any other lawful municipal use." She felt this would bring vot- ers to vote yes on the matter be- cause it is a physical entity they will be able to see, she said. Another citizen mentioned the measure should also be translated to Spanish for the high popula- tion of Spanish-speaking people in Corning. The measure is asking voters to approve a half-cent sales tax in- crease in an effort to help fund Corning Police and Fire depart- ments and get the general fund back on track. The sales tax increase was one of the four money saving or gain- ing options provided by an ad-hoc committee in June 2015. It would generate an estimated $1 mil- lion in the first year and around CITY Taxincreasemeasureadvances Calendar..........A2 Community.....A3 Lifestyles........A4 A&E..................A5 Opinion............A6 Sports..............
