On behalf of the Gustine Chamber of Commerce, I would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to all the business owners and individuals who supported our 12th annual golf tournament as hole sponsors, to those who contributed prizes for our tee bags, which were given to all golfers who participated in the tournament, and to those who donated items for our drawing.

I would like to thank all the golfers who played in our tournament, and invite them to participate again next year.

A big thank you to the committee members who helped with the tournament. Without their help and support it would not be possible to put this event together. Our appreciation goes out to the crew who handled our registration booth, took photos of the foursomes, our spotters on the three-par holes, our set-up crew for the dinner and Miss Gustine and her court.

Special thanks to Lucie Lucas and County Bank for sponsoring our dinner, and to Pat Borrelli and his crew, who once again did a great job in preparing the dinner which followed the tournament. Also thanks to Bill Nunes for the great green beans.

We had invited guests from our adopted squadron out of Lemoore Naval Air Station who participated in the tournament, Marines and Navy, to show our appreciation for their service to our country. They were outstanding young people, and couldn’t thank our chamber enough for what we are doing for them.

Again, thank you all for the support which enabled us to have a very successful event.

I would like to announce that our 13th annual chamber golf tournament will be held at the Stevinson Ranch Golf Course Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009.

Joe DeGregori, Tournament Chairman

I read with interest the article regarding English learners. I have always questioned the validity of the ESL program, and it is apparent that too much tax money is being wasted.

If you start a child at 3 in Head Start; 4 in pre-school; 5 in kindergarten; 6 in first grade; and 7 in second, that child should be English literate in the third grade.

The League of Women Voters of Stanisalus County supports Measure S – Better Roads, Safer Streets – on the Nov. 4 ballot.

With this measure, everyone in the county has something to gain.
