The convention, with a theme o f "Seeing With New Eyes” attracted 2,650 people for two days o f w orkshops and general assemblies. The convention hoped to show the young people ways to live together with greater solidarity and how important it is to show fairness and justice to others. Attending from lone were Bridget McElligott, Jessica Stefani, Michelle Kandle and Jake Deputy, along with leaders Jeri McElligott and Kathy Halvorsen. On Saturday, the con vention schedule consisted o f three general assemblies, featuring youth and adult speakers from the area, and two workshops. Thirty-eight dif ferent workshops were presented on any issue concerning teenagers to day Topics ranged from self-help to helping others to AIDS to date rape and many others. Students submit ted a list o f their top 15 choices in advance and were placed in two workshops as space was available. Jeri McElligott reported that the lone group enjoyed the conference but were most impressed with the youth speakers. One young man, in particular, was quite inspiring as he told o f friends literally dragging him to a youth group meeting and how that turned his life around. Prior to that time, he was a drug addict head ed for nowhere. Now he is a recovering addict and the president of his youth group in Puyallup, WA. Jeri reports that the most power ful thing about the entire convention was to see over 2600 teenagers who were so enthusiastic about their faith. Upcoming events for the youth group will include hosting the ser vice at the United Church of Christ on Sunday November 24. They will handle all aspects o f the service and will include the slide show from their recent Burnside service project. Also on Sunday, Danielle Stefani will present the same slide show at Valby Lutheran. Previously, Crystal Minster and Heidi Orem spoke at the Episcopal Church in Heppner where they also presented the slides.

Various other items were also needed to start a new home. Each family had at least two wagons and many articles had to be discarded. The study group lesson for the day consisted of a menu o f beans and bacon, roast elk (killed enroute), salmon and huckleberries. Other visitors and members brought salads and desserts. Verna Brinda and Bebe Munkers surprised the group com ing dressed as pioneers with long dresses, aprons and bonnets which added a lot to the meeting.

In a decision handed down November 13, the Court of Ap peals overturned a trial court order suppressing the search war rant executed at the Michael Gunderson residence in Irrigon in September, 1989. As a result of the search conducted by Morrow County law enforcem ent authorities, Michael Gunderson and Marieta Gallahger, who resided there, were charged with possession o f a controlled substance and conspiracy to deliver and possess drugs. According to Wallace, the state appealed the trial judge’s ruling which would have effectively thrown out the state’s case in April, 1990. The appellate court ruling means that the evidence seized from the Gunderson residence can now be admitted at trial. The defendant can still ap peal the ruling to the Oregon Supreme Court within 30 days. If no further appeal is filed, the case would be remanded back to Morrow County Circuit Court for trial sometime in the near future.
