In an eff ort to promote
treatment and recovery from
substance use disorders, the

Substance Abuse and Men-
tal Health Services Admin-
istration, Faces & Voices of
Recovery took the reins last
year.
This year’s theme is
“Recovery is for Everyone:
Every Person, Every Fam-
ily, Every Community.”
The goal is to highlight the
recovery community, as
well as treatment providers

tional care at Stanfi eld Bap-
tist Church, wants people to
know that despite the global
pandemic, a local Celebrate
Recovery group continues
to be active. As an outreach
ministry, the Christ-cen-
tered 12-step program is for
people dealing with a vari-
ety of addictions and life
struggles.
“Unfortunately the prob-
lems of life have not dis-
appeared with COVID,”
Zielke said. “We’ve been so
isolated and it gives people
an opportunity to share their
hurts, habits and hang-ups
in a safe place.”
Celebrate
Recovery
started with 43 attendees in
1991 at Saddleback Church
in Lake Forest, Califor-
nia. Since then, more than
35,000 churches across the
globe utilize the program
to facilitate healing through
the power of God. Stanfi eld
Baptist added the outreach
ministry in 2018.
Prior to the pandemic,
Zielke said weekly atten-
dance averaged around 35
people. After Gov. Kate
Brown’s initial stay home
order in March 2020, it
dwindled to maybe a dozen
attendees. Zielke said those
numbers are starting to
climb again with 15-20 par-
ticipants each week.
Zielke gets excited when
sharing about the victories
people are experiencing.
Whether they’re self-med-
icating with such things as
alcohol, drugs, gambling,
anger or overspending, he
sees God working in peo-
ple’s lives.
“We have seen individ-
uals … come in broken
and their lives have been
in shambles,” he said, “and
they’ve been able to put the
pieces back together.”
Celebrate Recovery meets
each Monday, 6-8 p.m. at
the church, 310 E. Wheeler
Ave., Stanfi eld. The gath-
ering begins with a time
of worship and celebrat-
ing milestones in recovery.
Also, either a lesson is pre-
sented or someone shares
their testimony.
People are then free to
leave or attend gender-spe-
cifi c share groups. At the
conclusion of the program,
there’s often an informal
social time. Prior to the
pandemic, the evening also
included sharing a meal
together. Zielke is hopeful
to resume that in the future.

Book club to discuss

An international bestsell-

the topic of the upcoming
Bookminders, the Hermiston
Public Library book club.
The group will discuss
“The Phone Booth at the

and solace since the 2011

1:30 p.m. downstairs in the
library meeting room, 235
E. Gladys Ave., Hermiston.

Booth at the Edge of the
World” are available at the
library. For more informa-
tion, call 541-567-2882 or
stop by the library.
Umatilla business taps
into clogging
A business that recently
opened in Umatilla features
clogging.
Generation
Cloggers
teacher Kelly Condie said
people who think clogging is
nothing more than “hillbilly
tap dancing” don’t under-
stand the modern evolution
and drastic styling changes
that have occurred over the
last decade or more.
“Clogging today is truly
a melting pot of dances and
music genres,” she said.
“Classes are fun, with stu-
dios engaging their students
with new friendships, lots
of fun and positive, friendly
rivalry.”
Unlike tap dancing,
where you have to stay on
your toes and the balls of
your feet, Condie said clog-
ging uses the whole foot.
People can invest in “clog-
ging shoes” or just purchase
a set of Stephens Stompers
taps and ShooGoo them to
your favorite pair of com-
fortable shoes.
During the sessions, the
attire is strictly casual. Peo-
ple are invited to get fi t and
participate in an enjoyable
activity at the same time.
As an introduction, Gen-
eration Cloggers will pro-
vide free classes each Mon-
day evening in September,
beginning after Labor Day.
The off er is for new students,
regardless of their age or
ability. The studio is in Kik’s
Golf Center, 30640 Highway
730, Umatilla.
