' he H 9-'W Eldridge helps at care home Brenda Eldredge started out by volunteer- ing for I2 hours of service time for a prerequisite for the Northern California Miss TEEN fTeens Encouraging Excellence Na- tionallyl pagent, but then she became a paid employee for Shelton's Board and Care Home. l'After I worked my required I2 hours, they said I worked out really well and they asked me if I wanted to become an emplo- yee, said Eldredge. At the care home Eldredge bathed, fed, took total care of, and did fun activities with young adults up to I8 years old that were confined to wheel chairs. At first I felt kind of scared but then I got use to the kids, Eldredge said. I feel like I'm helping them instead of babysitting them. According to EIdredge,her goal was to work with the public in some way. I liked working with the public, said Eldredge. According to Eldredge, the kids that she worked with got a good feeling when she was around. l'They lit up when I did fun things with them, said Eldredge. According to Eldredge the job has made her realize that other people aren't as fortunate as herself. By Darrin Hughes fi. 3 .KJV gm , if' 2 la' I I

Mr. Mellon made an effort to go out at least two times a year to take a back packing trip through rugged, undisturbed forest areas. l used to enjoy hiking when I was a kid, about lO or ll years old, said Mr. Mellon, l started back packing, when l was 12 with the Boy Scouts. According to Mr. Mellon, he learned the basics and some tricks by reading and by being with other back packers. Anything you are interested in, you learn as you do, said Mr. Mellon. ln one experience, according to Mr. Mellon, he learned by being lost. He was supposed to meet his friends before the trip, but he was late and they told him to meet T, 1. them at a certain spot during the hike. Mr. Mellon had never been there before and the river bed that he was to follow had dried up. His wife picked him up in a helicopter after he was a few days late. lt would have taken me another couple of days to get back from where l was, said Mr. Mellon. Back at the office, Mr. Mellon has been the principal and vice-principal of Galt High School, the Dean of Boys at Eureka Senior High School, head counselor and teacher of Jesuit High School, and he taught at the colleges of: San Joaquin Delta College, University of California, Davisg and Weber State College in Ogden, Utah, according to Mr. Mellon. by Sheryl Tankersley fl 1, V - 1 -rc ,vu . ,.
