FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 12, 2020 Rep. Smith working hard during short session Girls’ sports leadership summit scheduled As the first week of session is coming to an end, House District 57 and east- ern Oregon can rest assured that Representative Greg Smith (GOP-Heppner) is working hard to complete yet another successful short session. There is unrest in east- ern Oregon right now as flooding has become a ma- jor issue for many commu- nities. Temperatures are in- creasing and the snowpack continues to melt, creating an overabundance of flow- ing water with no place to go. Representative Smith, along with Senator Hansell, and Representative Greg Barreto are calling upon Governor Brown for help during this time of immense The Oregon Episcopal School will bring a girls’ sports leadership summit to Boardman February 20 at the Sage Center from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The key- note by Kendall Johnson, a professional soccer player for the Portland Thorns will be at 9:20 a.m. Additional athlete/lead- ers speaking (from 11:15 a.m. to noon) include Kelly Foster (crew) who is OSAA associate director; Darla Huxel (volleyball/basket- ball) who is Umatilla Chief of Police and San Juanita Fetuuaho (softball) who plays for Team Mexico rugby. Girl athletes will also break into groups to explore what it takes to be a leader, connect with their peers, commit to leadership, cre- ate their own leadership style and reflect on what makes a good leader. This summit is a one- of-a-kind Girls Sports Leadership Summit and was brought to the eastern side of the state for the first time at the request of local female coaches with the theme “Own It.” How can girl athletes learn to lead whether playing hard, sitting on the bench, or injured? How do female athletes build confidence to find a voice and seat at the leadership table? What are ways girl ath- letes can apply sports to their personal lives and is several miles down the 2104 Rd.

Those are just a few of the questions 200 hand-selected young female athletes in grades seven to 12 from Ione, Hep- pner, Irrigon, Boardman and Umatilla schools will tackle at the Oregon Girls Sports Leadership Summit in Boardman. Leadership skills seem to be a lost art, says Hep- pner Jr./Sr. High School Spanish/Health teacher and longtime former coach, Pe- tra Payne. “I have noticed in the past 10 years, leadership on the field/court and in the classroom are harder to come by,” said Payne. “Kids aren’t as willing to step up and lead, especially girls. I want all girls to be able to lead, on a sports team, in the classroom, and in their future careers. I think that with good lead- ership skills, they will have more positive relationships and experiences in all as- pects of their lives.” So when Payne saw footage from Oregon Epis- copal’s four-year-old Or- egon Girls Sports Summit Leadership, she wanted that messaging for her students and convinced OES Associ- ate Athletic Director Missy Smith to bring her brain- child to Boardman. Smith is a former Oregon State University basketball team captain and Grant High School and Lewis & Clark College coach and instruc- tor who grew up playing sports in Forest Grove, OR, where there were no sports specific leadership opportu- nities for girls. “And that is still the case today nationally for female middle and high schoolers, despite a two- fold increase in girl ath- letes,” said Smith. “There is a huge need to start in- tentionally developing girl sports leaders so they have the tools and techniques they need to be athletic leaders with their own lead- ership style, particularly in our world today. I’m very excited to take this message on the road and leave as big of a footprint as we can.” Sponsors of the free event include Lamb Weston, Adidas and Oregon Episcopal School. The girls will be chaperoned by their coaches. New Baby in Your Family? Engagement? Wedding? We want to share your life events! Stop in the Heppner Gazette office or email us with details and photos.
