Exchange student (clockwise) Kazushige Yamaguchi, Phillip Spicerkuhn, Kazuo Matsuura,
Tim and Sam Sumner, Ethan Burnside, Cindy Sumner, Goro Tokiwa and Paula Spicerkuhn.
Four teenagers, a long, long
way from home, are taking their
adventure to America in stride.
The boys, all from Japan, came
to Heppner on the international
4-H exchange program. During
their month-long stay, the boys
live with area families and soak
up all the American culture that
they can. And they seem to be
loving it.
Sixteen-year-old Goro Tokiwa,
is staying with Charlie and Cin
dy Sumner and children, Sam,
Jessica and Tim, in Lexington.
Goro lives in the city of
Kanagawa with his 18-year-old
brother, his mother Haruko, who
is a teacher, and his father
Shingo, who is a computer
engineer. Since he came to the
U.S. Goro has ridden on a com
bine, waterskied, picnicked at
Cutsforth Park, swam at the lone
pool, played at Oasis waterslide
in the Tri-Cities, and toured the
Morrow County Museum, Hepp
ner High School and the dam.
Plans are to tour Kinzua and take
in the Morrow County Fair and
Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo.
Goro says that the prices in
America are much cheaper than
in Japan. He says that he has real
ly noticed another difference bet
ween the two cultures--
Americans don’t take their shoes
off in the house. He says he likes
American food, especially Skit
tles candy, but finds the idea of
putting milk on rice pretty
disgusting. Cindy Sumner said
that Goro cooked them a Japanese
dinner on their anniversary.
Very
appreciative
of
everything, Goro says he has had
a lot of fun. He does, however,
miss his girl friend back home.
Kazushige Yamaguchi, 15, of
Nagaski, has been staying with
Laura and Tom McElligott and
their children, Ethan, Daniel and
Brian Burnside and Robert, Bren
dan and Katherine McElligott.
Accustomed to a large family,
Kazushige lives with his 12-year-
old brother, three sisters, 19, 17,
and five, his mother Rumiko,
who is a homemaker, and father
