www.hoodrivernews.com Hood River News, Saturday, February 21, 2015 A5 YOUNG VOICES HRVHS junior Payton Rigert starts as intern at the News By PAYTON RIGERT News intern M y n a m e i s P ay t o n Rigert. I am a junior at Hood River Valley High School and currently partic- ipating in an internship at the Hood River News. There are lots of things in life that I am passionate about. One of them is wrestling. I love wrestling and this will be my third year competing. I am on the Hood River Valley High School Wrestling Team and last year I won the Oregon Women’s State Wrestling championship title at 140lbs. The greatest feeling ever was walking off the matt knowing that all the hard work I had put-in had finally paid off. This year I hope to win state again. I completed at districts last week and placed first. I can’t wait for the state championship there is noth- ing more intense than wrestling in the Memorial Coliseum in Portland. Other activities are also a large part of my life. I par- ticipate in 4-H at the county, state, and national level. I am the president of my 4-H club, Funny Farms 4-H, and work closely with the mem- bers of my club. I am also a county ambassador and have set up many county events. We have made baby hats for One Community Health, baked cookies for the elderly, participated in Tie-One-On day, and attend- ed other county events. Vol- unteering in my community is the best way to say thank you to all the people who have influenced my life. I also believe in giving back at the state level. I am an Oregon 4-H State Ambas- sador and participate in state events. I have helped at the Oregon State Fair and 4- H OSU Summer Conference. Working at the state level has given me a better under- standing of the work that goes on behind the scenes of organizing and executing state events. This year, I also got the opportunity to attend Na- tional 4-H Congress, in At- lanta, Georgia, and be a member of the National 4-H Photo by Kirby Neumann-Rea U NION B UILDING P ROGRESS Payton Rigert Congress Youth Leadership Team. National 4-H Con- gress was one of the most inspirational events I have ever attended. In addition to participat- ing in 4-H and wrestling, I also participate in water polo and track. I am also apart of Leaders for Tomor- row and FTC Robotics. Last summer I was also given the opportunity to go on a Ro- tary Youth Exchange. I was able to go to India for two months and it was a life changing experience. I at- tended nine India weddings and got to see the Taj Mahal. The best part wasn’t the stuff I saw or the things I went to, but the cultural im- mersion I experienced and the connections I now have to an amazing culture. If you are ever able to go to India, be sure to take me with you! I decided to participate in an internship at the Hood River News because I like to experience new things and push my limits. I can’t wait to lear n new skills and share them with my com- munity. I am very interested in the job opportunities that are out there and the Hood River News rocks!

Developer Pasquale Barone and contractor Mike Butterfield are transforming the east section of the un- developed property into six condominiums, each with two bedrooms and rooftop patios. Large window spaces have been punched out on the north side of the building. Each unit includes a garage, accessible on the north side of the building via a dri- veway running adjacent to the Union Pacific tracks. Barone purchased a strip of land necessary for vehicle access. The condos will be finished by late 2015, and sell for about $400,000. Barone has already refurbished the west end – Davies Dunn law of- fice – and east end – Columbia Gorge Title Company – in 2012 and 2013. In mid-2014, The Remains gallery also moved in on the lower west level in 2014. W ORSHIP D IRECTORY ASSEMBLY OF GOD RIVER OF LIFE ASSEMBLY Pastor Terry Abbott 979 Tucker Rd.
