By April Bamburg Vernonia’s newest business, an under 21 club called The Hang Out opened July 8, with plenty of activities to keep the business’ 10-20 year old pa trons busy. A ctivities range from pool and air hockey, to a mini movie theater and danc ing. The fun is not unsupervised though. O wner Shawn Jackson said that The Hang Out is a “safe and controlled atm os phere. The Hang Out is as safe as you can get.” Security cam eras monitor every area of the club, and every youth under the age of eighteen must be signed up by a parent before receiving a picture ID issued by The Hang Out. “W e offer som ething that Hawkins Park and the basket ball courts don’t have.

First, the building inspec tor wanted it done as a safety barrier, and second, it prevents outside interference." Jackson plans on adding m ore attractions, such as karaoke or a video game ar cade, and possibly having theme nights. ‘T h e re may be a night for parents to come in and check out the place with their children who have signed up. I wanted to give parents and teenagers a chance to spend some time together be cause some parents and teens are busy, in and out, and don’t always spend a lot of time to gether,” he said. There may be a country music night, an adult night, and more. The H ang Out em ploys young people in various jobs, from deejaying to working in the concession stand, but ac cording to Jackson, if kids don’t start com ing in more, he may have to open The Hang Out to the public. “ I don’t really want to do that, because it w ouldn’t be just for the kids anym ore,” he said.
