K-6 grades at lone did writing activities and exercises with Belew; the students even ended up with a portfolio after their two weeks with Belew were over. At the end of the two weeks, the students invited parents and community to an assembly and open house to share their work. Students' writing activities included describing people they admire, describing objects or fantasy "beings" and doing exercises to help them come up with ideas. "1 encourage the kids to keep writing," says Belew. "I hope that what they have gained from me being here is the ability to take what they know and continue to write." "I hope that the students will be able to move on from what they've done in the past couple of weeks," she says. "I love the creative energy that I get from the kids, and I like to see what they are interested in." Belew does about three residences a year at rural schools and says she finds that helping children write helps her with her own writing. Belew is a free lance journalist who resides in Roslyn, WA, but she also publishes stories and has a novel being marketed in New York. The Artist in Education program has been a part of lone Elementary School curriculum for about 10 years. It is funded by the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Eastern Oregon University. Betty Rietmann, an elementary school teacher at lone, coordinates the program each year and Dot Halvorsen has provided a home for the artists during their residency. St. Patrick's Parish holds Faith Fair The children of St. Patrick’s Parish recently presented their annual Faith Fair. The fair was introduced by Mike Armato, then children and their teachers gave a description of what they had been studying in their religion classes. Kindergarten and first grade children made mobiles in the shape of doves and flames to il lustrate the grace o f the sacra ments. Second grade students pre pared a prayer for reconciliation which demonstrated their under standing of the sacrament of rec- onciliation. Grades three-four made a card board model of the parish church, including illustrations of the Sta tions of the Cross and the Seven Sacraments. Grades five-six made bag pup pets of the saint of their choice, pasted pictures of the saints on the covers of their workbooks and also made mobiles illustrating the sacraments of initiation. Students in grades seven-eight illustrated the Rosary, told the history of the Rosary and ex plained the origin of the prayers of the Rosary. Ground preparation is underway for the erection of a multipurpose building at the Morrow County Fairgrounds. Intermountain Steel Buildings, Inc. of Idaho Falls, Idaho, will provide the concrete work for the foundations and bleacher seating. Northwest Metal Fabricators of Hermiston is donating the use of their equipment and employees are donating their time to put up the framework. In addition to brand boards and donor recognition to be displayed inside this building, large 8' x 12' nylon banners will be hung in recognition of individual contribution of $2,500 or more. To date these donors include the Morrow County Livestock Growers, the Morrow County Grain Growers, Northwest Metal Fabricators and the Morrow County 4-H Council. Donations are still be sought to cover expenses | t I Spray Rodeo seeks 5 queen applicants MC representatives speak to state officials about youth camp Heppner city manager Gary Marks, Mayor Bob Jepsen, Morrow County Judge Louis Carlson, Commissioner Ray French, Greg Smith, representing the Port of Morrow and Rick Minster, Morrow County econom ic developm ent coordinator spoke to state officials Feb. 17 in Prineville concerning the possible siting of a "youth accountability camp" near Heppner. According to Marks, the siting committee is to have a list of three or fewer sites narrowed down by March 8. After selecting the "short list” of sites, Marks says that the siting committee will publish the list of site or sites and then visit each location and hold a hearing within a 30-day period. After those procedures, the siting committee must recommend one site to Rick Hill, director of the Oregon Youth Authority. Hill then has 30 days to accept or reject the chosen site. Marks said that a decision is expected to be made by mid- April. If Hill rejects the site chosen by the siting committee, however, the whole process will begin again, according to Marks.
