V Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 16, 1992 - THREE Weddings Eng — Jones A 1920 vintage wagon decorated with hay bales, saddles, old cream cans filled with native grasses and grains, and painted boots was the setting of the wedding of Constance Eng and Kenneth Jones in the yard of their home in Lexington on Sept. 5. The trees were decorated with helium filled balloons and gayly colored streamers. The bride is the daughter of Ray and Gae Papineau and the groom is the son of Charles (Cecil) and Delpha Jones of Lexington. The bride, escorted to the wagon by her two sons, Shane and Shawn Eng, was given in marriage by her sons and her father Ray Papineau, who were the bride’s attendants. She wore a floor-length lace dress with full flounce and a lace bow in the back of her hair. Something old was her earrings, something new was a necklace, something bor rowed was her hair piece and something blue was her garter. Danielle Looslie was the flower girl for her aunt. She wore a blue dress with matching headress and carried a basket of rose petals. The groom’s attendants were his sons Christopher and Michael Jones. The wedding ceremony was read by county clerk, Barbara Bloodsworth, friend of the family. Following the ceremony the couple enjoyed a ride in the buggy of Joe Yocom who was accompanied his daughter, Marie Jones. The cake was a three-tiered creation trimmed in blue and pink and topped with a cowboy with a black hat carrying his birde. The cou ple on the cake were flanked by a horse shoe and stalks of wheat. The cake was served by Charlene Whitney of Portland, sister of the gipom. A bountiful potluck dinner was enjoyed with dancing to western music on a portable floor and rides on a mechanical bull, operated by Jay Papineau. One of the highlights of the afternoon were several balloons filled with helium. The balloons carried a message from the bride and groom, “ if found please return to their address in Lexington.” After a short wedding trip to Seattle, WA. and the coast, the cou ple is at their home in Lexington. Kenneth is employed by Northwest Pacific Farms in Boardman. Parret—Devin Monique Parret and Oliver Devin, both of Heppner were married in the Chapel Heart of Reno. Reno, Nevada on August 31, 1992.

Oregon students score high on tests Oregon students scored higher this year on most state math, reading, and writing tests, accor ding to the Oregon Department of E ducation’s second annual assessment. Students in grades 3, 5, 8, and 11 were tested in reading and math for the second straight year and in health for the first time. Third and eighth graders also took writing tests. “ We’re making progress,” said State School Supt. Norma Paulus, “ with significant gains in reading in grade 3 and math and writing in grades 3 and 8 .” Like last year, the area of most concern is 11th grade math. “ Although the scores improved slightly, we’re still concerned that 30 percent of our high school juniors scored below grade level. “ Part of the problem is students’ exposure to math,” Paulus added. “ All elementary schools have daily math lessons, while many eleventh graders have none. “ While it is easy to focus on average sc o re s,” said Paulus,“ Our goal is to move all children up the skill ladder. We expect every child to succeed, and these results show that they are climbing up the ladder.” For instance, the number of third graders scoring below grade level in reading dropped from 14 to nine percent and the number scoring above grade level jumped from 25 to 35 percent. The number of eighth graders scoring below grade level in math drop ped from 25 to 14 percent and the number scoring above grade level increased from 13 to 19 percent Writing results were im pressive with scores increasing in five of the six writing traits. “ Students are showing a stronger ability to organize their thoughts and communicate clearly with a distinct personal style,“ said Paulus. “ More time has been spent in elementary school on actual writing instead of filling in the blanks,"she added, “ and it is paying off.” Results of the health tests show few students scored above grade level expectations. One-third of third graders scored below grade level. “ This tells us that health needs additional attention in the primary grades,” Paulus said. “ In the last decade of budget reductions, health and physical W e Do ” education programs have often been the first to go. These short term solutions will have long term consequences to the health and welfare of our society. Our assessment makes it clear that our children are not getting enough information about nutrition and elementary health care. We’re becoming increasingly concern ed about the lack of organized physical activity for our younger children in particular.” The assessm ent included survey questions about student behavior. Results show that many students are not getting enough nutritious food, sleep, and exer cise. For instance: -3 4 percent of eighth graders skipped breakfast at least three times a week. --61 percent of 11th graders got seven or fewer hours of sleep on a typical weeknight. —41 percent of 11th graders follow a regular exercise program only sometimes or less. Paulus said the assessment is a critical part of the education reform program. “ As we move ahead to improve our schools, we need this kind of baseline data to chart our growth." “ I applaud the improvements we see in this year’s results,” said Paulus. “ They are largely due to the efforts of Oregon’s teachers who are serious about curriculum reform.” St. Patrick’s Senior Center Bulletin Board September 9 there were 109 people, including eight guests, pre sent for the senior dinner. Camilla Samples won the meal ticket, Linda Shaw the door prize and Ethelda Leeing, the guest prize. Members of the Baptist Church and Christian Missionary Fellowship served the dinner.

Members of the Episcopal Church will serve. Seventeen seniors rode the bus to Hat Rock State Park Friday, Sept. 11 for the AAA picnic.
