Kids are helping kids Oct. 13 was a lucky day for H eppner Elem entary School students. On that date crossing guards took to the street to m ake the area safer for the children arriving at school, and heading hom e at the end o f the day. The crossing guards are sixth grade students w ho v o lu n te e r to g u id e th e youngsters across the street between the new gymnasium and the elem entary school. They assist Robin Jones, who is the sta ff duty person. This program was developed by M ary A nn Elguezabal and Jannie Allen, HES teachers. The crossing guard equipm ent and vests w ere d e sig n e d and s titc h e d by G w e n H ealy. T h e b rig h t yellow fabric is visible to vehicles and pedestrians alike. “Not only are the sixth g rad e rs p ro v id in g a sa fe r environm ent for all students, they are learning responsibility and leadership, and building rapport w ith their younger counterparts at H ES,” said a spokesperson. We Print Letter- head Heppner (■azette-TimeN 6 7 6 -9 2 2 H Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - THREE Off the Wall By Meri) il Robinson With all the human tragedies and worldw ide mayhem featured in new spapers and on television, staying informed isn’t very morale building. However, once in awhile, there is an article with a hum orous twist, especially in som e o f the agricultural papers. Therefore passing on the essence o f som eone else’s story will hopefully give others a chuckle or two. There are all sorts o f fundraisers ranging from walk-a- thons, to bake sales and car w ashes for good causes that are usually supported by local residents. However, an innovative idea in the small town o f Junction City, Oregon caused some people to raise eyebrows, w hile others are going to chuckle all the way through next year and beyond. Somehow, local male residents were talked into dropping their draw ers for a 2004 nudie calendar featuring the men o f the Junction City Grange. In this town where the m ajority o f people know one another, the article says there will continue to be com m ents like, "H ey Bud, I didn’t recognize you with your clothes on” w hen two farm ers encounter one another on the street. But compared to the graphic nudity seen on television, the article says the photos were tastefully done. With my weird funny- bone, 1 can conjure up photos using well-known residents as models for a local calendar. Lets see, w hat well-known local g o lf player w earing only a sunshade could be the centerfold for June while hoisting a bag o f golf clubs? It wouldn’t be hard to imagine a local farmer posing on a tractor or combine as the appropriate harvest m odel. A ccording to the article, a local a m a te u r m u s ic ia n p o se d h o ld in g a b a n jo o v e r his unmentionables, while hoping to generate interest in his playing, not his body. The article says Mr. August was shown in all his glory, naked except for a pair o f backless chaps and a lasso slung over his shoulder. Gee, I can think o f several local cow boy type candidates, particularly ones with handlebar mustaches that w ould be photogenic. Talking som eone into being photographed as Mr. September while artfully draped in grape leaves might be easier than asking a guy to pose ala natural in a Santa hat for December. O f course, to represent M orrow County diversity, one “hot potato" model and a dairy milkman with a brief apron should also be photographed. Their wives, the article says, are thoroughly enjoying them selves. However, one w om an says she regrets that the m en insisted on covering up their behinds w ith caps and cow boys hats w hen shooting a from -the-rear group portrait for the back page o f the calendar. One woman said they were hoping to have a contest in which people w ould judge who had the best-looking “tush.” But these male models from Junction City, including some who are senior citizens, say they take pride in believing that they are the first to drop their drawers to raise money for education. All proceeds go the local school district since severe cutbacks have eliminated teachers, art, music and field trips. A ccording to one Junction City resident they hope to raise $75,000 and perhaps even a m ovie deal. 1 can just imagine the year-long, good-natured ribbing that these men must endure. All I can say is that if citizens can bare it all for a good cause, then government spending should be pared to cover the necessities- -we d o n ’t need to regress to a caveman lifestyle.
