Engagements

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.
