Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Letter to the Editor Sum m er project a job w ell done To the Editor: It was just 'good to the last drop' from the "Kids Works" program at the Christian Life Center on July 5, through "Puppet W orkshop", to fan tastic trips to lone for lone Grand Squares and to a varie ty of field trip excursions with U.S. Forest service; to time spent enjoying the life and times of the Irish people; a side trip to Lehman Hot Springs; to a mock trial of the big bad wolf and the three little pigs to a s u p e rc a lifra g ilis tic e x - pealidocious finish with a tour of Bob Jepsen's wheat ranch, a trip th ro u g h beautiful downtown lone and a big splash in the lone city pool. And it all was made possible by many tine people of south Morrow County who gave of their time and energy and en thusiasm and gifts to make the 1994 Neighborhood Center Summer Youth Project a huge success. I don't know all the people, teachers, preachers, junior high leaders, adults, friends, relatives and the kids that made it a great summer ex perience. I wish I.could name all of those who helped but I only know a few and if you know any of these super fine people who did help in any way, take the time to thank them for a job well done. Sincerely, (s) Rev. Stan Hoobing Treasurer Neighborhood Summer Project Rodeo court have busy summer The Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Court recently traveled to The Dalles for the Ft.

Alcohol prevention begins at hom e "T his is the time of year w hen the evenings are hot and youth are looking for some fun time activities," says Stan Hoobing, convenor for the H eppner/Lexington Oregon Together Group., The H eppner Oregon Together project rem inds parents and guardians that one of the 'fun th in g s' on som e y o u th s ' minds is drinking alcohol. "Regardless of com m unity based programs, the preven tion of alcohol and other drug problems is also influenced deeply by w hat happens in the h o m e," says Hoobing. The project joins the Na tional Parent Teacher Associa- tion in urging parents and legal guardians to work to establish an alcohol and drug free atm osphere in the home. The following suggestions have proven the most helpful according to Hoobing: ban alcohol and other drugs at parties held in their home; prohibit parties w hen adults are not present; set a time w hen children are expected to be home; know the parents of your children's friends; know w ho your children are going out with; have children agree to call for a ride any time they are in a situation in which the driver they are with, teenager or adult, may be impaired.
