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

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.
