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.
Terrence Parret, son of the bride, walked his mother down the
isle and gave her away.
Jeff Devin was best man for his father and his other son Miff, was
ring bearer.
After a few days in Reno the Devins traveled to California for a
family vacation. In California they visited Monique’s mother and
step-father and spent a day on their boat and visited Lost Isle on the
Delta. They headed up the coast, stopping to see the Redwoods and
ended their trip at Seaside for the Labor Day weekend. While in
Seaside they visited Monique’s father and step-mother along with
other relatives.

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.”
