some of the rides Saturday, May, 14, 2022,
at Blue Mountain Community College’s 10th
annual Cruisin’ for Scholarships Car Show
in Pendleton. Several American muscle cars
were on display, as well as a few much older
classics, a couple of pickups and more. The
event, however, drew fewer cars than in years
past, perhaps due to the rainy morning.

PHS student places second in statewide media contest

SALEM — A sophomore
from Pendleton High School
was among those who earned
top prizes in a media contest
designed to increase aware-
ness about workplace safety
for young workers. Julianne
Jones became aware of the
Oregon Young Employee
Safety Coalition contest
through an online advertise-
ment.
The theme, which included
highlighting the mental
well-being of young workers,
piqued Jones’ interest. She
said students are faced with
struggles trying to juggle
school, work, extracurricular
activities and generally try to
fi gure out life.
“I felt that this theme had
some really good overlap
with our mission at Commu-

In addition, it’s featured on

“I hope that it helps young
workers be bold in learning
to set healthy boundaries in
order to achieve a better work/

those boundaries and main-

ongoing struggle for me and I
want all of my peers to know
that they are not alone.”
