Riverside Golfers
beat Heppner
By Marty Suter
The Riverside boys opened their
golf season with a victory over
Heppner.
Darren Flug led Riverside to their
finish. Steve Larsen had an excellent
first round but had an inconsistent
last round.
Coach Mike Wetherell com
mented “ the team is very inex
perienced but we do have potential. ’'
The boys showed their strength in
the opening round. .
Riverside girls challenged the
Bucks on April 2 at Willow Run in
Boardman. “ We have a lot of begin
ners with some promising poten
tial,” said coach Sharon Dunlop.
Marissa Murray, a junior, is the only
returner to the program. “ I have 11
girls out and they understand the
game really well,” said Dunlop.
Halvorsen in
for tests
Lewis Halvorsen is a patient at St.
Vincent’s Hospital in Portland while
he is undergoing tests.
4-H sponsors ‘SpeakEasy’ workshop
Twenty-five Morrow County 4-H
members, leaders and parents helped
make the regional presentation
workshop a wonderful educational
experience, says Carol Bennett,
Morrow County Extension agent.
Morrow County 4-H combined
resources with Wheeler and Gilliam
County to offer this regional activi
ty, attended by 65 members, leaders
and parents and grandparents.
“ We encouraged families to at
tend; all ages were welcome to par
ticipate in activities designed to in
crease confidence in the ability to
speak in public.” According to Ben
nett, “ the fear of speaking before a
group ranks as high as the fear of dy
ing for many adults. Learning how
to develop a theme, organize
thoughts, and deliver a message in
front of an audience is very helpful

This week marks the first anniversary of St. Patrick’s Senior Center. For
years serving a meal each week through the Area Agency on Aging and
fund raisers for the dream of a center of our own were about our only ac
tivities. This year we have continued and expanded the nutrition program,
providing a well-equipped kitchen, and are now serving an average of a
hundred each week, with meals also taken out to shut-ins.
We have worked toward developing a multi-use senior and community
center, offering 55 Alive Driving classes, Widowed Persons Service train
ing, and active WPS group, health care and legal services surveys with
follow-up workshops. We have a potluck social the second Sunday of each
month, give an ample home-baked food sale each month and have served
special luncheons and dinners on request. A full-time volunteer office staff
five days a week answer questions, relay messages, do friendly visiting
and continue to grow in their knowledge of the services offered here through
the AAA (Area Agency on Aging). We have craft classes such as the quilting
group, and the BMCC knitting classes and seek to increase craft workshops.
The Dollaride car provides transportation for seniors and handicapped on
request, and a brand new bus will arrive by July (we hope). For a reasonable
fee. many individuals, families, and organizations are using the center for
meetings, wedding anniversaries, birthdays, funeral*meals, potlucks, Irish
Stew dinners and others. A wedding is coming up in June. Our front room»
is always open for friendly visiting, playing cards or other games, TV or
stereo.
This week we are beginning a new service of acting as the area work
station for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Several stations
in town handle volunteer work at their specific stations. An area station
differs from these in that it handles senior volunteerism in other worthwhile
community activities and will develop into a place where the community
can request volunteer help. Call 676-9030 for further information.
New also is the promise of an excercise class for seniors if enough sign
up for it. This will be set up and supervised by Rick Burrel. a physical
therapist from St. Anthony Hospital who also serves at Pioneer Memorial.
It will be a two-day class, Tuesdays and Thursdays. A suggested donation
may help to cover costs of equipment. Those interested should call the of
fice to pre-register.
Next week: Sunday, April 8, at 4 p.m. is our monthly potluck social.
Wednesday is Easter dinner with roast turkey, whipped potatoes and gravy,
peas, fruit salad, hot rolls and cake. The Lexington Baptist Church ladies
are helping. Senior Center Board meets at I p.m. and the VFW at 7 p.m.
in the front room. Thursday at 9 a.m. the Widowed Persons Service meets.
Yes. on our first birthday, happy birthday to us. We are happy with our
first year and promise to continue developing this center. There is much
to be done. May it be said of us that our slogan is "not growing old, but
old and growing.”
