Dwayne, a Vernonia resident, has worked for Cascade Acoustics for 21 years. He’s the foreman on the project and will oversee the construction of the interior walls and ceilings, which includes metal framing, sheetrock, acoustic panels, and lathe and plaster work. The Tualatin company, founded in 1957, is privately owned and employs 100 people. It started as an acoustical ceiling company and has expanded to include other services. What this project means for business? Cascade Acoustics owner, Brent Fulbright, says this is a “huge project” for the company. Work has dropped off 60% since the peak years of 2005-08. “The construction bubble finally burst, but it was artificial and not sustainable. Our business today is more in line with 2004,” says Fulbright. Cascade Acoustic’s work on the Vernonia School will take about nine months to complete and keep a number of people employed. What this project means for the community? Dwayne and his family have lived in Vernonia for 11 years. He says, “We have four kids, who have attended or will attend schools in Vernonia. While our family was not affected by the floods, I got my boys together and we helped the Senior Center and friends get through it. I have a lot personally invested in the project. It makes it nice to be involved in building my kids’ school. It’s a big deal for the community, too.” Progressive Honors--Raised GPA by .5 or more Charity Barklow, Jason Bouslaugh, Hope Cutright, Justin Fletcher, Jason Foutch, John Halvorson, CJ Hieronimus, Trevor Kent, Jared Medearis, Cora Morris, Dakota Rumbolz, Amanda-Rose Sicard, Sara Smith, Mikila Solberg, Dominic Szlavich, Morgan Tarkalson, Katon Watts, Trask Zook-Owen Kinder Round-up - Friday, May 20th Please call WGS office 503-429-7941 for an appointment.

Drug and Alcohol Free Graduation Party Planning Has Begun Graduation is just around the corner! For the past twenty-eight years, the parents of graduating Vernonia High School seniors have planned and provided a Drug and Alcohol Free All- Night Party. This year’s party is being organized by Heidi Brown, and will be receiving assistance from the Vernonia Prevention Coalition in coordinating the event. The goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for the senior class by offering an evening of activities, good food, and prizes following graduation ceremonies on June 4th. The hope is to encourage graduating seniors to spend one last memorable evening together and keep them safe at the same time. The event being planned will be almost identical to last year—students will meet at the Vernonia Scout Cabin for a couple of hours of games and prizes. They will then board a bus to continue their adventure at Bullwinkle’s Family Fun Center. The group will return to the high school in the morning, ending a very fun, exciting and memorable day. “Last year’s party went really well and the kids all seemed to have a great time,” says Brown. “We’ve talked with a number of this year’s seniors and they have indicated they wanted the party to be the same as it was last year. So that’s what we are going to do.” Brown has had a number of parents interested in helping plan this special evening for our local graduates. She is currently looking for support through funding and prizes that are given away during the evening. “I’m encouraging parents, businesses and individuals to help make this a really fun evening for our kids,” says Brown. “Ways that you can support this year’s seniors are by sponsoring a senior, the cost for Bullwinkle’s is $57.00 per graduate, or by participating in the gift basket program. Our goal is to have a gift basket for every student that attends earmark it for Grad Night Party. Thank the party. We are looking for new items you for all your generous support! to place in the baskets, a completed basket or a cash donation to help with the purchase of items. We are hoping for things that will help send our kids Vernonia off into the world, whether they are Coffee Roasters headed to college, to live on their own or start a job or career.” Suggestions for prizes “QUALITP COFFEE ROASTED include things like a gasoline gift TO PERFECTION” card; a laundry gift basket with soap, towels, and rolls of quarters; a gift basket of healthy snacks; cleaning supplies; a tool box; a coffee maker; kitchen and cooking supplies; good blankets; stamps.
