programs for high risk child
ren, lowering the teen preg
nancy rates and educating
those mothers and fathers in
proper parenting techniques,

She is also a strong advocate for

ple such as youth, vocational or
volunteer programs that would
help them combat the destruc
tive influences of gangs, drugs
and alcohol, said Merrill.

commission during its April 11

Local gro u p s m ake a difference
L-R: Bob Lovgren, exalted ruler Heppner Elks, speech therapist
Carol Clupny, Cecil Rill from the Masons and Randall Peterson,
IOOF, congratulate Trampas Jeffries (center) on his trip to
Meadowood Speech camp this summer. These three organiza
tions have made it possible for Trampas to attend the two week
camp.
Some local groups are mak
ing a difference in a Heppner
second grader's life.
The Heppner Elk's Lodge,
the Masonic Temple and the
Odd Fellows Lodge pooled
their resources so that Trampas
Jeffreys can attend Meadowood
Springs Speech and Hearing
Camp for two weeks this July.
The camp is located between
Weston and Tollgate.
Trampas' teacher, Carol
Clupny, a speech pathologist
with the Education Service
District who is at Heppner
Elementary School on a week
ly basis, nominated Trampas
for the scholarship. Clupny
says that while at camp, Tram
pas will have two individual
speech and therapy sessions
and one group session daily, in
addition to may other activities,
such as flag raising, nature
studies, crafts, swimming
lessons and canoeing. Clupny
says that the camp is designed
so that every activity is geared
to carry over speech activities.
"Their slogan is 'Meadowood
Works'. And one reason it
works is because of the cons
tant emphasis on speech
throughout every activity.
Students learn to monitor their
own speech and that's a real
key to their remedial efforts,"
said Clupny.
Clupny says that the Elk's
Lodge in Oregon has done a lot
for the camp. "They build
cabins and contribute monitari-
ly, in addition to providing
scholarships. The camp is one
of their major goals," she said.
Trampas is the son of Helen
and Ron Jeffreys of Heppner.

John Setness with 171 / 2 -inch trout
Thirteen year-old John
Setness, Lexington, caught a
17Vi inch trout in Willow Creek
near his house last week.
Setness says that he caught
the fish within walking
distance of his house between

like eating the fish, but adds
that the family freezes the fish
for a great aunt who enjoys
them.
