School drug/alcohol policy meeting set
A public meeting to seek
comments
regarding
the
proposed changes to the school
athletic drug/alcohol policy will
be held in conjunction with the
normal
school
advisory
committee meetings in April.
Dates and times for the meetings
are as follows:
Wednesday, April I-Heppner
High School, 6 p.m.; Thursday,
April 2, at lone High School, 7
p.m.
The new recommendations
regarding
the
athletic
drug/alcohol policy are a result
o f a committee that was initiated
last October consisting of athletic
directors,
student
body
presidents, principals, advisory
committee members and school
board members.
If anyone has questions
regarding
these
proposed
changes, call Russ Morgan at
676-5729.
Public information meetings
concerning
the
youth
accountability
camp
are
scheduled for this Thursday,
March 26, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at
the St.Patrick's Senior Center.
A public hearing for the Ore­
gon Youth Accountability Camp
will be held on Monday, March
30, beginning at 7 p.m. at the
Heppner High School Cafe-
tori um.
The purpose o f the meeting is
to discuss the proposed siting of
the camp in the Heppner commu­
nity. The Youth Accountability
Camp Siting Committee will be
in attendance.
All interested individuals are
encouraged to attend and partici­
pate in the hearing.
Morrow County Judge Louis
Carlson, who is the county's
juvenile judge, says that the kids
who participate in such programs
are not usually bad kids," but too
often have grown up as a low
priority in the family structure."
"They often just need a real
awakening-some time away from
their peer group. I've been
talking boot camp for five years
now," said Carlson.
Beside the benefit to youth,
Carlson says that the proposed
camp would also be an economic
boost to the area, since the
facility would employ 32 full­
time employees and officials
have said that the youth camp
will use local supplies as much
as possible. "As a timber-
depressed community we should
be on the lookout for new
businesses. I think we need to
take a good hard look at these
opportunities when they come
our way," added Carlson.
"Opportunities like this don't
come our way very often."
Carlson said that a good
turnout at the public information
meetings and the public hearing
will help Heppner's chances of
getting the youth camp sited
here.
Carlson said that the county has
agreed to dedicate $50,000 in
tippage fees for the acquisition of
land and construction of a road to
the site, which would be located
out o f sight o f homes past the
Morrow County Fairgrounds on
the hillside on right side o f the
road as one is leaving town. He
said that the Port o f Morrow has
agreed to dig a trench and lay
pipe for sewer and water if the
Heppner site is selected. Carlson
said that the road which would be
built to the site could eventually
go to the urban growth area
above Rock Street.
Two sites near LaGrande are
also being considered for
construction o f the camp, at
Hilgard Junction State Park and
the town o f Union. The Hilgard
site may have an advantage
because another youth facility is
there which has a kitchen that
spoke to, he didn't receive any
negative comments concerning
the camp and the youth there. "I
didn't find one person who had a
bad thing to say about it,"
Carlson added.
