Mothers to be honored at church
Assembly alerts teens
Teenagers at Heppner Middle,
High and lone high schools saw
first hand what life would be like
after a head or spinal cord injury
recently.
Nationally, teenagers have
more head and spinal cord in
juries than any other age group.
The consequences are devasting,
robbing young people of their
most carefree years. Most of
these injuries are preventable.
Neurosurgeons and educators
have created a national prevention
program aimed at this high-risk
group. The program, called
‘Think First’, is sponsored in the
state by Oregon Health Sciences
University and the Oregon
Neurosurgical Society and bin
ding is parovided in part by Blue
Cross and Blue Shield of Oregon.
Since 1987, the Oregon group
has presented the assembly to
more than 80 schools and has
reached more than 80,000 mid
dle and high school students.
Think First is a fast-paced
school assembly that attempts to
persuade young people to modify
their risk-taking behavior.
Emceed by a Nike Club runner,
the assembly includes an award
winning film. Two young victims
of head and spinal cord injuries
also came and discussed how
their injuries occurred, how their
lives changed and how their in
juries might have been prevented.
EMT’s from Pioneer Memorial
Hospital demonstrated ways to
prevent further injury at the ac
cident scene and what to do until
help arrives.
Judge’s bar poll
Attorneys in 10 counties were
recently polled by the Oregon
State Bar regarding their
preference of candidates for con
tested judicial races in the upcom
ing May 19 primary election.
In the race for Umatilla Mor
row County District Court Dept.
1, 38 out of 64 attorneys polled
preferred Richard Courson and
26, Rudy Murgo.
In the Morrow and Umatilla
County District Court Dept. 2
position, 31 out of 62 favored

Frank Nims, Oregonians In
Action president, will be updating
members and concerned lan
downers on the status of critical
land use issues at a public meeting
at Kate’s Pizza Restaurant in
Heppner, on May 13, at 12 noon.
“ Private landowners are being
overwhelmed by attacks from
every level of government-
federal, state and local,” says
Nims. “ Landowners are at the
mercy of over 10 powerful
government agencies, armed with
legal and technical staffs who
seek to strip landowners of the
rights to use their land,” he add
ed. Instead of protecting rights,
governments are “ stealing”
them.”
A 4-H outdoor discovery team
is being formed by the Oregon
State University Extension Ser
vice to help other 4-H members
learn about forestry, water quality
and wildlife habitat.
According to Virginia Thomp
son, manager of the Oregon 4-H
Conference and Education Center
and science educator, the
20-member team of young peo
ple completing grades seven and
eight will be trained in June at the

center near Salem. The team is
open to any interested 4-H
member.
Team members will learn
leadership skills, tour forestry
and fisheries management sites,
meet with professional resource
managers and then develop and
implement a resource enhance
ment plan around the center’s
Sawmill Pond.
“ We’re trying to give them a
well-rounded, hands on look at
stewardship,” Thompson said,
“ and help them take a look at
what’s involved in managing
natural resources.”
Helping plan the program are
Ed Slocombe, OSU Extension
agent in Lane County and Glenis
Chapin, 4-H program assistant in
Marion County.
After the training program,
participants are expected to share
what they have learned with other
4-H members and be able to lead
natural resources activities in
their home counties.
Applications for the discovery
team are due May 8 at the 4-H
center business office. The $130
fee includes meals and lodging
for six days and five nights.
For more information call Bill
Broderick at the extension office.
