Calvin Barnes brought it all together at the state tournament and powered through to a 4th place finish to end his high school career on a very positive note. Barnes just got better with each match and rose to the occasion and devel- oped a well-earned cauliflower ear in the process. VHS wrestling is an up and coming sports program. Up and coming generally wouldn’t apply to a team that earned a district title, but this program is gunning for a state title. The district title is a significant step along the way. While seniors Barnes, Roach, and Young will leave a huge hole in the prac- tice room, it is up to the return- ing athletes to fill these holes and step up the intensity on the road to a state title. According to the coaching staff, the best part about wrestling is that any student can do it and be successful. While athleticism helps, it is not required for a person to learn the sport and enjoy success. Every student is welcome. Survivors include his girl- friend, Kellie L.

Twelve designs will be selected, one for each month of the year. Entry dead- line is March 19, 2010. This eighth annual art search is conducted in partner- ship with local problem gam- bling prevention and outreach coordinators. Students are urged to express their feelings and perceptions about problem gambling through their art. These unique messages are shared with schools and part- ners statewide. “Gambling is everywhere and our kids are more exposed than ever before. Right now we estimate that up to 6,300 ado- lescents have severe gam- bling-related difficulties in Ore- gon,” said Paul D. Potter, DHS problem gambling services manager. “The calendar will help raise awareness of a prob- lem that affects Oregon teens and adults.” Artwork should illustrate one of ten different messages (see problem gambling prevention Web site, below) and be en- tered on letter-size white paper with the name of the student artist, grade level, school and city on the back. DHS and its partners will judge the entries. Gift certificates will be awarded to 12 students. Submit entries to Greta Coe, Human Services Building, 500 Summer St. NE, E86, Salem, OR 97301. Details about the art search, including suggested themes, are available online at www. problemgamblingprevention.or g/art-search.htm. Grant for VHS pre-engineering From page 20 nent of ETIC’s goal to increase pre-college engineering pro- grams and engineering de- grees in order to meet state and industry needs for a high- ly-skilled, globally competitive workforce in Oregon. Bruce Schafer, executive di- rector of ETIC, says, “Pre-engi- neering programming not only helps students understand the importance of math and sci- ence, but also inspires stu- dents to pursue rewarding ca- reers in engineering and com- puter science. Oregon and Oregon’s industries need their talent.” Obituary HENRY VALENTINE ADE Henry Valentine Ade, 79, for- merly of Linnton, died February 16, 2010. A private family service has been held.
