Message to teenage Drivers....
You have the power not to kill yourself
Dr. Don Dexter, dentist at thelHS Clinic, exercises for Improved health
and physical fitness.
The following letter recently
appeared In "Dear Abby". It ii
reprinted with permission.
Dear Abby, I am enclosing a
"paid notice" that appeared in The
Raleigh (NC) Times. Perhaps you
can use it in your column. My wife
and I thought it was very moving
and deserved nationwide exposure.
We hope you agree.
Message to teenage drivers from
the parent! of a deceased teenage
driver:
You have a power that no one
else on Earth possesses. Your
teachers, the police, the governor,
the president none of them have
this power; only you have it. This
"power" is the power not to kill
yourself while behind the wheel of
an automobile. This "power" is the
power not to kill others with the
car you're driving. This "power" is
the power not to be a victim of the
slaughter of teenage drivers on our
roadways.
You've all seen the stories in the
newspapers. Many of you were
friends of the teenagers killed.
Maybe they were speeding or passed
illegally or ignored a stop sign or
tried to beat a red light. You cried
for them, went to their funerals,
participatred at memorial services
held for them at school. And then
got into your car and did the same
thing because it could never happen
to you.
We want to tell you about another
group that doesn't have your
"power," and that's your parents.
When you leave this Earth, your
parents remain behind. They are
left behind to grieve over your
premature death. They are also left
behind to grieve for the future that
youH never experience for your
selfyour high school graduation,
your wedding, your first child.
There will never be another vaca
tion where the"whole"famiIy goes
on a trip. On Christmas, your par
ents will decorate a little tree to put
ncxttoyourccmctayrnarkCT.Thesmika
around the Thanksgiving table will
never be as wide. Mother's Day...
Father's Day.. .your birthday.. .the
first warm day of spring will
always cause your parents to think
of what might have been.
One year ago today, we buried
our teenage son, Jack. Jack was
killed in an automobile accident.
The accident was a direct result of
ignoring the posted speed limit.
Jack was a great kid, and we could
not have asked for a better son.
However, a lew seconds ol bad
judgment, whether caused by inex
perience or a sense of "teenage
immortality," or both, cost Jack
his life. There is no pain on this
Earth that's worse than losing a
child. This tragedy will haunt us
for the rest of our lives. And every
week more parents must face the
dreaded realization that they will
never see their child again on this
Earth never to kiss them, never
to laugh with them, never to hold
them close. Never again.
Last month, three local teenag
ers were killed in an accident; the
two brothers are buried next to
Jack. When we saw these three kids
lying side by side in the cemetery
on Valentine's Day, we knew we
had to try to do something to stop
this carnage. .
How successful we are will de
pends on you: that means each of
you exercising your unique
"power" and using peer pressure
to convince your friends to do
likewise. If we succeed, it will mean
that all these teenagers, and our
son Jack, haven't died in vain.

Quilts on display at MHS
Patchwork quilt blocks and com
pleted patchwork quilts will be on
display at the Madras Senior High
School Library starting April 3
and continuing through April 27,
1989.
The exhibition, titled "Patchwork
of History," features historic and
contemporary motifs from the
colonial era of our nation's past
through the present day.
Quilting is an ancient craft found
all over the world, but the patch
work quilt is a purely American
tradition, born of sheer necessity.
The first settlers who arrived here
from Europe had neither time nor
the tools to weave their own cloth,
so every scrap became a precious
commodity to be saved, patched
and pieced together over and over
again to make it last. .
1 he pieces in the exhibition were
made or finished by the Jackson
ville Museum Quilters in Jackson
ville, Oregon. The group, which
meets twice weekly, lovingly and
expertly recreates the historic mot
ifs, carefully recording the patterns
on paper or by making single blocks
as their ancestors did years ago
when paper was in short supply.
"Patchwork in History" is circu
lated by Visual Arts Resources of
the University of Oregon Muesum
of Art, which is funded by the
National Endowment for the Arts,
the Orgon Arts Commission, the
Friends of the Museum, the Uni
versity of Oregon and private
foundations. There is no charge for
admission to the exhibition. Hours
are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday.

Don Dexter was chosen exer
ciser of the month for February.
Dexter is currently taking part in
running, basketball and tennis,
participating six days a week, 8-10
hours. He has maintained this
schedule for two years.
Dexter stated, "IVc always en
joyed participting in sports and being
active, but the demands of dental
school took a higher priority than
exercise.
Dexter believes that exercising is
a perfect complement to his profes
sion as a dentist. His work requires
fine detailed work in a small work
space. Exercise allows gross move
ment and exertion and seems to
open his "horizon." He feels it is
more relaxing than reading or doing
art work, which he enjoys but are
too similar to his work.
Dexter is looking forward to the
Kah-Nee-Ta Mini-marathon, which
is a goal he just recently set for
himself. Like other athletes, he has
"stumbling blocks" when it comes
to exercising regularly, which
involves the travel requirements
that are associated with his work
and often interferes with a routine
exercise schedule. Dexter's "secret
way" of handling his stumbling
blocks is packing his running shoes
when he travels and occasionally
taking a tennis raquet if he knows
he can play a game at his travel
destination. Other activities that he
enjoys is coaching kids baseball
and softball.
He prefers to exercise with oth
ers because it seems to make it
more enjoyable. His wife Daniele
and children Nathan, Nicole and
Doni also exercise but have no
regular schedule or goals. His fam
ily also enjoys hitting tennis balls,
since they don't acturally play the
game, and they go on family walks
and swimming.
If Dexter had no limitation
whatsoever and could do anything
he really wanted to do he would be
a tennis bum and play on the red
clay courts of Roland Garros Sta
dium in the French Open.
He has a few words of wisdom
about exercise he wishes to share
with others. He says, "Pick an
activity that you enjoy, pick a time
that doesn't interfere, and just do
it."

Sergeant James A. Davis,
spokesman for the sheriffs depart

treaty that set up the Grand Ronde
Reservation. He died without mov

More than a score of Tumalth's
descendants attended the dedica

headquarters at 4325 N.E Marine
Drive. A great-great-grandson,
Charles Williams and great-great-granddaughter,
Marsha Williams,

jet-sled. All are named for Indian
chiefs.
The new craft has pumps for
firefighting and pumping out sink

ment for pulling boats off sand
bars, first aid gear, emergency gear
and radar so that deputies can
"see" in darkness or foul weather,
he said.
