The Heppner Crime Prevention Committee met with county officials on October 22 to outline plans to organize a Community Accountability Board to deal with certain offenses committed by juveniles. The board will consist of volunteers appointed and sworn in by the county court. Through this program, concerned citizens will reach out to help juvenile offenders reestablish a sense of community values and of personal responsibility for their actions, according to Dar Merrill, Morrow County Commission on Children and Families. This will be done by interviewing the offender and their parents, then deciding upon a constructive agreement, said Merrill. The agreement may contain an assignment of community competency groups, counseling, fees and/or restitution, he said. When the youth signs, he or she agrees to fulfill the terms of the agreement or be returned to the juvenile department for court action. According to Merrill, some advantages of this program are: it is a conference rather than a court hearing; it will result in a contract rather than a sentence; it takes place in the community rather in the courts. Five volunteers are being sought for the board from Heppner, Lexington and lone to sit on the board one evening a month. Individuals and business are also asked to help by providing community service opportunities and supervision. Anyone interested in either or both o f these areas, is invited to call the Morrow County Juvenile Department at 676-5643 or the Commission on Children and Families at 676-9675. lone Site council meets Newly elected chairman of the lone Site Council, Steve Schaber, convened the regular meeting of the lone Site Council on October 14.
