Paul Bouchard (left) accepts the Citizen of the Year award, which was presented by Andross Moore. Bouchard was noted for his help in the community as an EMT and especially for his years of teaching CPR throughout the area. Moore shared a laugh with Bouchard, who made the awards this year, that Moore, who owns Corvid Wolf Jewelry, couldn’t do the engraving because then it would giveaway that Bouchard had won this year. Zion Butler was recognized by the chamber for having the Business of the Year, Invictus Training Center. Moore explained what a rough time Butler went through with the loss of his partner, but the gym owner has persevered. While Butler was unable to attend the banquet, his mother, who was fighting back tears, was able to accept the award for him. Gary De Von/staff photos
