Life seminar planned
Why do bad things happen?
How can parents and teens get
along? What are the keys to true
happiness? How can I....Resolve
anger and bitterness toward
others? Gain freedom from
financial pressures? Have a
happy and successful marriage?
Conquer fear and overcome
boredom? What is the key to
helping young people make right
choices?
"The answer is through
universal principles," according
to a news release from the
Christian Life Center.
The Basic Seminar uses real-
life stories and practical
diagrams to show how every
problem in life can be traced to
seven non-optional principles,
said the release. "Every person,
regardless
of
culture,
background, religion, race,
education, or social status, must
either follow these principles or
experience the consequences of
violating them," they said. "
When you understand these
seven principles of life, you will
see why things happen."
Precise, step-by step instruction
will guide people in applying
what they learn, the release
continued.
Over 2.5 million people have
attended the Basic Seminar
through
word-of
mouth
recommendations, said CLC. A
growing number of cities and
states and nations have officially
invited the Basic Life principles
Institute and those who have
applied the principles of this
Seminar to help them build
stronger families they said.
According to CLC, using the
seminar as a foundation, one can
avail himself of opportunities in
education
and
character
development that help young
and old avoid the destructive
pressures of our day and be a
part of giving the world a "New
Approach to Life."

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.
