Engagements AJ Tarnasky elected to board A.J. Tarnasky, a sophomore in business administration at Oregon State University, has been elected to the Interfratemity Council Judicial Board. Tarnasky is the son of Sheridan and Ed Tarnasky, Heppner. Isgr There’s a common theme among several letters published in last week’s Gazette that were written by Jannie Allen’s sixth graders. It was “ the lack of something to do” and it’s definitely disappoin ting when there is no local swimming pool. But the tired expression of “ I’m bored” is no excuse for not creating activities. Perhaps our society has become too dependent on organized activities or the television set that provides entertainment. Children of this age can accomplish a great deal. Jobs, even for pay, are not the whole answer. However there are probably some senior citizens in this town that could use a hand with yard clean ups or window washing. Many busy hands could make a big impact on this town’s outlying areas that could use a good weed cutting party. But ambitious youngsters can organize their own activities without needing adult supervision. Pack a lunch for some nature walks or a bicycle trip. Imagine that you’re training for the Olympics or just stroll and observe nature. You don’t need to be awarded a T-shirt or belong to an organization to have a good time. There’s also pride in accomplishment such as organizing a roadside cleanup party. And prior to St. Patrick’s ducky race, a cleanup along Willow Creek through town would be great. How about talking to parents and city fathers about filling in the existing swimming pool and providing a smooth surface for roller skating. If youngsters could prove that they would be willing to police themselves and keep the area clean, there could be another use for the facilities. Ping pong tables inside the former bath houses could perhaps be built by shop classes. Portable music brought from home would pro vide an appropriate background. Perhaps there’s room for a badminton court on the back side of the building. And stormy days could be highlighted by board games such as checkers or chess that can be just as entertaining as video games. Parents already provide a great deal of time to supervise little league and other sports. How about youngsters organizing their own soc cer team using the lower field near the grade school? We do have some very nice tennis courts which is more fun than playing kick the can. Rural youngsters spend a lot of time with 4-H projects. Their ur ban counterparts can also benefit from these programs. There are home economics, art, craft or small animal projects to enjoy. Perhaps one could convince someone to show you how to build something like a birdhouse. Whether it’s designing something for your room, surprising working parents with a well-planned meal or building a soap box racer, there’s pride in accomplishment. Tap into the talents of some senior citizens who may have more time to spare than do the parents. Local youngsters are fortunate to be able to walk the town’s streets without adult supervision. Turning youthful energy into positive ac tivities is one way to deter any gang formations as was mentioned in one of those letters. In a few short years, these young people may not have the privilege of living in a relatively safe environment. So they need to intersperse some lively fun activities sparked from their own imaginations with little jobs that can have an impact on the community. Searching for work could enrich savings accounts for expensive higher education costs in the near future. Volunteerism isn’t solely for adults. Our high caliber of sharp, young people can make a difference in the place they call home.
