Rhonda Wilhalm
By Nova Riatmann
The United States Achievement
Academy has announced that
Rhonda Wilhelm from Lexington
has been named a United States
National Award Winner in
physical education.
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.

The Heppner Garden Club,
member of the National Council
of State Garden Clubs, has
designated June 6 as "Gardening
Exercise
Day"
presenting
gardening as a "fitness tool" for a
healthy lifestyle.
According to a club
spokesman, gardening offers
"exercise for the body, peace for
the mind and food for the spirit."
Gardening can be done, say
fitness experts, even if you are
one of the 20 million American
women
suffering
from
osteoporosis.
The following "foolproof'
gardening tips are suggested by
anyone wishing to "weed out"
mishaps in the garden.
