Wilhelm is the daughter of Ron and Linda Wilhelm of Lexington. Her grandparents are Betty Wilhelm of Heppner and Howard Smith of Hermiston. This award is a prestigious honor that very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American high school students. Wilhelm, who is an eighth- grade student at lone Middle School, was nominated for this national award by Robin Graff at the school. Wilhelm will appear in the United States Achievement Academy official yearbook, which is published nationally. "Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in America's history. Certainly, United States Achievement Academy winners should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, executive director of the United States Achievement Academy. The academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors and other qualified sponsors and upon the standards of selection set both by the academy. The criteria for selection include a student's academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to leam and improve, citizenship, attitude, cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation from a teacher or director.

Births The lone Topic Club met at the home of Katherine Lindstrom, with Betty Gray assisting. Roll call was a recent book members had read. Each member told about their book and gave books or tapes for the book shower. Christy Crowell, club librarian, said that the summer reading pro gram for the lone Library will be gin after July 4 and continue through the second week in Au gust. More information will be available later. A report was made on the spring money maker for the li brary. A letter was sent to mem bers of the community asking for support. There was a very good response. Morrow County District Attor ney Earl Woods told the group about his tour of duty in Bosnia this last year. He stated that the conflict between the Croatians, Serbs, Slovakians and Bosnians is influenced by their hatred for each other. Each group is influenced by different factions, such as the Moslems, Russians, Germans and Turks. The hatred is so intense that one neighbor will kill another and it continues so that it becomes like ethnic cleansing. Woods said that the U.S. troops hoped to sepa rate the different nationals and per haps control the killings this way. NATO allies are hoping that the United States will keep troops in the area but there are feelings against this in our country.
