BIRTHDAY CLUFF— Stan Cluff was born on Aug. 20, 1917. This Friday, he will celebrate his 104th birthday. Stan is a WWII Navy Veteran who lives in Flor- ence. Middle schoolers can register for 90 by 30 course Registration for 90 by 30’s “40 Developmen- tal Assets” for middle schoolers and its month- ly meetings will be avail- able at this year’s Middle School Registration days on Aug. 18 and 19. “40 Developmental Assets” is a program within the 90 by 30 Child Abuse Prevention Ini- tiative which has been active in West Lane Coun- ty since 2013. The sessions are based on developing healthy be- haviors such as positive self-esteem and identity, commitment to learning and constructive use of time. The Search Institute, creators of the 40 devel- opmental assets, has veri- fied that if a person has 35 to 40 of these assets, they have less than 1 percent chance of having lives disrupted by conflict, ad- diction, criminal behav- iors or poverty, among others. The monthly sessions will be meeting at Siuslaw Middle School on second Sunday afternoons during the school year and are open to all middle school- ers who reside in the Siu- slaw and Mapleton school district boundaries. Other areas of 90 by 30 include “Welcome Baby” bundles, “April as Child Abuse Prevention Month” and “Roots of Empathy.” “40 Assets” is also look- ing for volunteers who are interested in doing this work to contact us and join in the process. For more information, email Jeanne@90-x30. com or call Suzanne at 541-590-0779.
