A softer approach is needed
To the Editor
I am writing this letter out of the
concern I felt after attending the
swimming lessons at the Hcppner
Pool on Monday. July 18
My daughter is 4 years old She
is a "beginner" at swimming My
husband and I had encouraged her to
lake swimming lessons, and tried to
reassure her it would he a fun way
to I cam to he comfortable in the
water We also told her that if she
started the lessons she had lo finish
them.
On Monday morning, she was all
escitcd and ready to go When we
arrived at the pool there were 42
children for the "beginners” class.
I instructor and 2 pool employees.
When the instructor approached the
children she told them "gruffly" lo
sit on the edge of the pool Then, in
stead of trying to warm up to the
kids, she shouted "get into the
water,” which most of them did,
some did not They were then told
to "bob” their entire bodies and
heads under water the fact llic water
is usually cold, several of the kids
began to cry
When she came to my daughter
and my daughter was hesitant, she
turned to my 4 year old and said
“ get up and get out!” , so rudely. I
was shocked
My point is; it beginners lessons
are only for children who already
know how to swim, why are they
called beginners and. where arc the
little ones supposed to learn the %im
pic basics, and learn to enjoy the
water”'
I think it’s a real shame the way
this instructor turned a positive, ex
citing event into a humiliating ex
perience and left a little girl crying
and wondering what she had done
wrong
I don't doubt the capability of this
instructor and I'm sure her "army
type" methods are fine for jr high
aged kids But. she really needs to
remember what its like to he a 4 year
old and learn a little compassion, a
softer approach and a smile wouldn't
hurl either
Sincerely,
(s) Kacdene Bailey

It s not often I can look back and say
one of my wild schemes was a good
idea Most wild schemes are just that,
and my wild schemes seem to be just
that more often than other folks wild
schemes, if you know what I mean
But once m a while, every now and
then, even I hit on one that turns out
ok. My theory (borrowed from so
meone else, of course) is that if you try
enough wild schemes, one or two is
hound to turn out ok It's t)ie numbers
game they all talk about And volume
I
By Ed Glenn
makes up for quality in the scheme
making business
Well, now I’ve got one. a wild scheme that turned out to be a good idea,
and I d like to take a little space to brag about it Everyone should do that,
you know Everyone should brag a little about themselves when they have
a chance
It s the winery Nearly 10 years ago now. I had this wild idea about
planting winegrapes and building a winery as a way lo use this neat piece
of property where Franck and I wanted to build a home You just don't
buy 50 acres as a homesite. you see You have to grow something on it
and I didn't know a thing about potatoes nor did I own a combine
They told us you can t grow wine grapes in eastern Oregon and that
might yet he true We had to give up part of the property, including the
ideal home site It’s a melon patch now. why didn’t I think o f that’’
But we did build a winery Too small to be profitable nut we have made
some good wine some years Mostly, it's a pain in the neck to pump money
into a project that also takes so much hard work
Nevertheless, it turned out to he a good idea
You see. these hot days we've been having are too much for the aircon-
ditioner in the house It gets downright uncomfortable in our living room
these afternoons But the winery is smaller, well insulated and has two
airconditinerv It just wouldn't do to let the wine get warm
The winery is nice and cool, even when it's well over a hundred out.
You cant' imagine the many little odd chores that need to he done out in
the winery these days A winery is sure a g«*xl idea when it's hot
