Governor to give students award
Alumni Association plans summer golf tournament
Teacher Cara Osmin with third grade classroom
A group of Heppner Elemen
tary School students have earn
ed recognition from the state
and they want to be on hand to
receive their award in person
from Oregon State Governor
John Kitzhaber.
The children, students in
Cara Osmin's third grade class,
won one of five Stop Oregon
Litter and Vandalism awards
from the Oregon Department
of Transportation.
According to Osmin, the kids
made a "com munity minded
resolution" at the beginning of
the school year. They wanted
to make the school grounds
cleaner. As a result of their
resolution, said Osmin, they
decided to go around the
school grounds every two
weeks to pick up litter. Their
project has now expanded to
include the library/museum
and city park grounds.
Osmin, to make the project
safer for the kids, wrote to
SOLV for a grant to get orange
vests and money to refurbish
their school sign. The students
also use SOLV bags to pick up
litter.
Their teacher then decided to
nominate the class for the
SOLV award and the students
w on for "B est C lean u p
Organized by Youth".
Instead of sending one per
son to represent the class at the
awards presentation May 22,
Osmin wants to send the whole
class. However, the cost of sen
ding all 19 children and seven
chaperones will amount to
around $600. They plan to stay
overnight at a nearby school, so
the cost would be for the bus,

After nearly a decade of tour
naments, the H eppner High
School (HHS) Alumni Commit
tee has agreed to put the bas
ketballs and volleyballs away.
Instead, a golf tournament will
be held this year on Saturday
and Sunday, July 6-7, at Willow
Creek Country Club in Hepp
ner. A dinner for the partici
pants is planned for Saturday
evening.
Participation had been down
in recent years in the alumni
basketball/volleyball tourna
ment, held each year at the end
of December, and the commit
tee felt that a golf tournament
w ould be a w ell-received
change.
"Alumni of all ages can par
ticipate in a golf tournament.
We're anticipating a good turn
out and a lot of fun," said a
committee spokesperson. Tour
