Man to speak on
tobacco dangers
Rick Bender, the "man without
a face", will speak at lone High
School on Monday, May 24, at 7
p.m.
Bender, who now lives in
Roundup, Montana, was bom in
San Diego in 1962. He started
using "spit" or "chew" tobacco at
the age of 12. Bender says that
several thing influenced him in
using tobacco, including the
game o f baseball and television
ads.
At the age o f 26, he was
diagnosed with cancer because oi
his tobacco use and in April 1989
he underwent his first surgery to
remove the cancer. During the
next two years he underwent
three more surgical procedures,
resulting in the loss of 1/3 of his
tongue, 1/2 of his jaw, partial use
of his right arm and almost his
life. He is still fighting the effects
today.
Since his last operation in June
1990, he has devoted his life to
education others about "this
tobacco product that is widely
thought of as a safe alternative to
smoking." He has testified at a
Congressional
sub-committee
hearing on the subject and has
appeared on the Today Show,
Nickelodeon and other national
and local news broadcasts. This
has become his life's work.
"You see,” says Bender, "I
shouldn't be here. My doctor,
after seeing the extent of .my
cancer, did not expect me to see
my 30th birthday. But I am still
here and have a second chance at
life The way I look at it, we're
all here for a reason and maybe
mine is to go out and educate
people about spit tobacco. If I
can get just one person each day
to quit using or not start using
spit tobacco, it will make my
second
chance
at
life
worthwhile.”

Leave a Legacy launches campaign
For more than a year and a half
representatives of several non
profit organizations throughout
Umatilla and Morrow counties
have been discussing ways to
educate people from all walks of
life about their opportunities to
enhance the quality o f life in
their communities, according to
a news release from "Leave A
Legacy", Pendleton.
Leave A Legacy is a
"community-based campaign to
increase awareness of the ease,
value and need for charitable
giving from an estate." Through
such gifts the donor is able to
provide support for projects
which interests him and which
will benefit individuals and the
community as a whole. In some
cases these philanthropic gifts
also provide advantages to the
donor's estate, said the release.
The program is patterned after
others of the same name which
have been launched throughout
the United States.
Several
communities in Oregon have
organized local Leave A Legacy
efforts for the month of May.
"Leave A Legacy is a
partnership of estate planning
professionals and non-profit and
philanthropic groups which not
V
only encourages estate planning,
but can offer helpful information
to guide interested individuals in
achieving their goals," said the
release.
