Ser. Comm. Program proposals
By MARY ANN CERULLO
Two new proposals were
presented as part of a Juvenile
Services Commission pro
gram for 1982-1983 to Morrow
County Court last Wednesday,
May 12.
Representing the Juvenile
Services Commission, Nancy
Moore, John Edmundson and
Dr. Terry Templeman listed
the North Morrow Recreation
Program. Latchkey and the
Morrow County Responsible
Adult Workshop and Family
Clinics as three of the pro
grams which will continue
from the previous year.
John Edmundson, Morrow
County School assistant super
intendent, presented Peer Tut
oring as the first new proposed
program to the court.
According to Edmundson,
older students who are doing
well academically would tutor
younger students who are
floundering. Such a program
would provide employment
opportunities for the older
students.
"This will be targeted for
the north end where there is
the need," said Edmundson,
"If it is successful, the pro
gran can be extended to lone
and Heppner."

'Students in the south end
tend not to have much trouble
in school," he continued, "The
drop out rate is almost zero in
Heppner."
The second new proposal is
a Morrow County sexual
abuse treatment program
which would work through the
county Mental Health Depart
ment. According to Dr. Terry
Templeman of Mental Health,
there were 18 reported cases
of sexual abuse from 1978 to
1981 and the numbers are
increasing.
The sexual abuse treatment
program would include the
identification of the case,
treatment for all individuals
involved and preventative
measures using literature and
films in the county schools.
There would also be informa
tion for the parents themsel
ves, stated Templeman.
"These projects are ex
tremely worthwhile pro
grams." said Commissioner
Dorothy Krebs, "and the com
mission should be commended
for their work."
County Court signed the
resolution adopting the Juv
enile Services Program for
1982-83. Nancy Moore will pre
sent the program to the state
in July.
