1 FOUR - Heppnef Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon Volunteers , . , Wednesday, March 25. 199« ___________ ... SOUgnt tor Kids Chamber Chatter One o f the C ham ber o f Commerce’s goals is to assist in keeping the lines of communica tion open within our community. A current topic of conversation is the proposed Oregon Youth Ac countability bootcamp for Hepp ner. Monday evening, March 30 at Heppner High School, our community will convey to the state its desire for locating here or not. By the time you read this, all Heppner postal boxholders will have received a four-page infor mation sheet from the Chamber addressing ofien asked questions about the camp and calling atten tion to the informational meetings on Thursday, March 26 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the St. Patrick’s Senior Center in Heppner. In formed persons, including some from Tillamook, where a similar facility is located, will be present to answer questions. These meet ings will give the opportunity to arrive at an education opinion for the public hearing on March 30. Opening our ears and eyes to all information will help each and everyone determine if Heppner should take some responsibility for rehabilitating at-nsk youth; if Heppner should take advantage of this economic opportunity for the community; and if the facility is safe for our community. We might ask ourselves what the ad ditional jobs would mean for our new pool, fairgrounds project, Main Street businesses, etc. Read the information, ask questions, attend the meetings and feel com fortable in voicing your educated decision after weighing all the facts. That’s the best any of us can do. Thought for the week: “The things of greatest value in life are X ffvute ♦ l those things that multiply when • Jhe Scotis 'Open * divided.” > Sunday.

Chamber Manage* Volunteers are being sought for the CASA program. A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer is a person "who has a genuine interest in children their rights and special needs," says Kim Carmne, manager of Service to Children and Families Division in Boardman. "Appointed by the court at the time a petition is filed in juvenile court, a person serving as a CASA looks out for the needs and rights of the child. Abused or neglected children need this advocate." "A CASA must be an assertive person who likes kids, but is not a counselor," says Camine. "Our CASAs interview teachers, parents, counselors, anybody who has a stake in the kid's life and within 60 days makes a report to the court that assesses the needs of the kid. A CASA could be a retired teacher, a housewife-we even have a retired minister who is a CASA. These dedicated people maintain contact with the child, family and appropriate agencies and monitor compliance with orders of the court with all parties." Although a volunteer position, a CASA is reimbursed for expenses related to travel. Time must be set aside to devote to training sessions investigations, court appearances and follow-up contracts. A firm commitment of time and effort to the assigned child must be made over an extended period of time, says Camine. Anyone who has some extra time to devote to something that would make a big difference in a child's life may call Services to Children and Families: Camine in Boardman, 481-9482, or Carolyn Holt in Heppner, 676- 5641. • Engagement Lexington Grange has ayadable, -7.
