SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner. Oregon Wednesday, March 18, 1992 Council agrees to pool busing plan The Heppner City Council ap proved a three-fold request from the Heppner Pool Committee at the council’s regular meeting Monday night. The council approved: a re quest to ask the Willow Creek Park District to undertake the pool project; a request to allow city administrator Gary Marks to assist the park district in the pro ject; and a request to allow the ci ty to participate in busing children to the lone pool for swimming lessons and carry funds forward, if necessary. Arrangements with the lone pool and the Morrow County School District have not yet been made. The Heppner pool will not open this summer because of a budget shortfall and structural problems with the pool. Council members expressed concern over public safety if children are allowed to swim at the Heppner pool. The pool advisory commit tee estimated that a plan to bus Heppner children to lone would cost around $2,240. The pro jected costs would be less than half the estimated costs of open ing the Heppner pool for two weeks this summer for swimm- ing lessons only. City administrator Gary Marks said that projected costs for open ing the Heppner pool for a two- week session would be around $4,948. That plan includes $730 for lifeguards and instructors, $2,827 for maintenance and labor, $500 for supplies and $890 for utilities. Marks projects around $600 in receipts, with the remainder coming from proper ty taxes. Since the city has only $3.(XX) remaining in the 1991-92 budget in pool appropriations, this proposal would create a deficit of $1,945, and the safety concerns would still remain. Estimated costs for the busing program would include $780 for use of Morrow County School buses and bus drivers’ wages, $730 for lifeguards and instruc tors and $730 for supervisors for the children w hile they are not in the pool. The council at first sought to form its ow n district to fund con struction of the pool. But. accor ding to state regulations, the city will not be able to form its own district because the Willow Creek Park District is already in existence. Summer program for kids planned The Neighborhood Center will receive a $3,000 grant from the Children’s and Youth Services Commission to fund a four-week summer program for children in Heppner. Grace Drake coordinator of the project, says that the program will consist of on-site activities and field trips to Boardman. Ir- rigon. Monument. Hermiston and places within Heppner. She said the program may help fill the void created by the loss of the Hepp ner pool. The program will be held July 6 through 31, five days a week, four hours a day, including lunch. Drake says the program is targeted for low income children six through 14, but children will not be turned away because their families are not low income. The program is planned for around 30 children, she says. Drake says that each day em phasis will be put on one of five different themes: relationship of towns in the area; daily skills of living together; history, centering on the Oregon Trail (this may in clude a wagon ride ending with Sheriffs Report ’ The Morrow County Sheriff’s office at the courthouse in Hepp- nei* reports dispatching the following business during the past week: March 3: Morrow County deputy began investigation of two missing curved wood laminated longbows belonging to Susie Calhoun.

Led by Pastor Tim Van Cleave, “ The Family God Wants Us to Be” is a 50-day “ spiritual adventure” created by The Chapel of the Air Ministries, and is used every year by hundreds of churches all across North A m erica. The program is scheduled to begin on Sunday, March 22 and continue through Sunday, May 10.

In dividuals within the church will further the adventure's impact on their lives by completing addi tional readings and weekly assignments. Sunday sermons will center around common dysfunctional family characteristics and what happens when those same qualities carry over into the church. Pastor Tim Van Cleave will be giving positive suggestions on how to build healthier relationships within the church and within nuclear families. Adventure participants will receive a personal adventure jour nal, which contains scripture readings, weekly assignments and a place to record their insights and spiritual progress. As members of the congregation work to build healthier relation ships they will learn how to: “ Listen Intently to the Great Physician.” Through short dai ly scripture readings they’ll learn what the Bible says abut a healthy church family. “ Offer to Others Jesus’ Affir ming Touch.” Once a week.
