Kah-Nee-Ta route 8 reopening Recent graduates of the Ford Institute Leadership Program. Several Je ffe rso n C o u n ty community members graduated from the Ford Institute Leader ship Program last month. U tilizing a gran t from the Ford Family Foundation, Rural D evelopm ent Initiatives facili tated four intensive weekends o f team building, project man agement, and com m unication a ctiv ities sp read o u t fro m September through December. Among the educational and interactive activities provided throughout the program , the m em bers w ere also provided with an opportunity to design an d ch o o se a co m m u n ity project that would benefit the Jefferson County and Central Oregon area. fc T h e am o u n t o f p a ssio n among the group for different initiatives m ade th e process lengthy, but in the end the group came to a consensus and de cided upon a new recycling ini tiative. T he initiative is called the C e n tra l O re g o n R ecycling Project (CORP). The project will consist o f initiatives to increase awareness o f the importance o f recycling. CORP will also educate resi dents in the area on materials that can be recycled, and will encourage community members to take action in recycling. T h e le a d e rsh ip p ro g ram ended with a networking lun cheon on the day o f graduation. Stakeholders from the area who have experience and knowledge in the field o f recycling were invited to attend. The luncheon consisted o f a presentation by Reina Estim o and Jefferson Greene, both o f W arm Springs, w ho educated the participants, on recycling and its effects on the world, and how the community can do better. “This is going to be a project that we’d like to n ot only make im portant for the community, but convenient for community,” said Jefferson Greene. ■ “R ecycling edu catio n and awareness are going to be key factors in this project. Then as our group grows throughout the year o f 2009, we will implement ways to change behavior and get more households and businesses recycling.” Currently, the group has a strong initiative to work with the 509-J school district, local busi- n esses, M adras an d W arm Springs Sanitation Services, and other groups in the community to help m ake a difference in how we im pact our environ ment.
