More than two million people
throughout the United States,
Canada and other countries have
participated in STEP discussion
groups and used the accompanying
Parent's Handbook since American
Justice Court
Report___
o f discussion sessions
Guidance Service (AGS) of Circle
Pines, Minnesota, introduced the
program in 1976.
“ STEP encourages mutual respect
between parent and child, increased
cooperation, more effective com
munication, and a more responsible,
self-reliant
attitude
among
children,” said a spokesperson.
According to Curtis, the com
munity’s interest in parenting educa-
tion is part of a nationwide trend. A
nationwide survey conducted by
AGS showed that parenting educa
tion is a growing phenomenon, spon
sored by hundreds of diverse groups
and organizations and conducted by
thousands of individuals throughout
the country.
The trend in parenting education
is a result of many social changes in
the U S. These include changing
roles for mothers, a shift away from
the autocratic “ Father Knows Best
value system to more democratic
viewpoint, and the increasing
mobility of families.
The parents who participated in
STEP groups said they found the
program beneficial for many
reasons.

Chamber Chatter =

By Claudia Hughes. Chamber Manager
Tis the week for an Irish toast:
“ May you have warm words on
a cold evening, a full moon on a dark
night, and the road downhill all the
way to your door.”
The strength of a town lies in its
people and believe me, many of
these people are giv ing their all with
St. Patrick's Day just around the cor
ner. Auction items are still welcome;
Scotty and his ducks will be here for
the sheepdog trials; and speaking of
ducks, be sure to rent one for the St.
Paddy’s O ’Ducky Race down
Willow Creek. Flags are flying high,
high schoolers painted fire hydrants;
nine bed racers are registered; and
parade entries are coming in. It pro
mises to be a great weekend Bring
your friends and relatives and be
“ Irish for a day.”
Recently I had the opportunity to
“ share” Heppner with Chamber
people from Oregon. Washington.
Idaho and Alaska. The focus of this
four-state conference was “ Out of
the M e’s and Into the W e’s
Decade’’...together everyone ac
complishes more. This holds true for
the St. Patrick’s event, organiza
tions. families, the fair and rodeo.
Cycle Oregon III, county and state
fair booths, our businesses, ran
chers. the community as a whole.
When a community pulls together,
visitors feel the pride in hospitality,
friendliness and a visible ap
pearance. Ideas thrown out during
the “ Visions for Heppner” session
have been tree-lined streets and awn
ings to greet visitors as they arrive
through our rolling hills.
Join Chamber next Tuesday as
they share more visions and hear
Marsha Sweek discuss “ Doings At
the Morrow County Museum
And another Irish toast to a suc
cessful St Patrick's weekend; “ May
the Lord keep you in his hand and
never close his fist too tight on you "
»•rrm «i n r m » b »itn r r ,
Still still sweet, loving and
caring for others. Happy 30th
birthday, Betty.
Love, Mom & Dad
