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

This past weekend the group
traveled to the Wallowas to par
ticipate in the Chief Joseph
Days activities. Queen Staci
O 'B rien, and P rincesses
Kimberly Bedortha, Char Coe
and Jossie Evans brought home
a second place ribbon and $15
in the royalty competition.
There were nearly 25 courts
participating in the parade.
Following the afternoon grand
entry the court and their
families had a barbecue at
Wallowa Lake and challenged
their dads at go-carts and
miniature golf.
This week the court will take
part in the Hermiston Starlight
Parade on Saturday, August 6

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.
