Sarles Centennial group that put on a
two-day clean—up effort and is in-
volved in the annual “paint the pool”
event in the Cavalier County com-
munity. She’s also volunteered at
food pantries, including the one in
Belcourt.
“There is always great support
with a lot of work done in a short pe-
riod of time,” Weston said. “I won-
dered if something like that would be
possible for Rolla.”
Mickelson said the goal for the'
community’s first-ever event is to
“freshen up and beautify” the town.
The effort will start small, with vol-
unteers tackling touch-up painting
projects at three Main Avenue busi-
nesses as well as giving the city-
owned benches a fresh coat of color.
“We didn’t want people to be
overwhelmed,” Mickelson said. “We
hope to do more of this kind of thing
in the future.”
Weston added that a local busi-
ness agreed to fund a meal for the
work crew.
“There are also several adult vol—
unteers who will be helping or in-
structing students as some of them
will probably have no painting expe-
rience,” Weston said. “After that I
contacted a couple other businesses
who might like to help students get a i
days’ worth of volunteer hours as ?
well as gaining new skills and pride
in the sense of accomplishment.”
Donations will fund the work this
first time out as well as in the future.
Mickelson said any businesses inter—

ested in having work done in ex-
change can contact her office. In ad-
dition, anyone willing to volunteer
some time to beautify the city via
these small, but noticeable projects
can also contact either the JDA, the
Rolla School or Weston.
“We’d like to see around 10 to 15
kids show up, too,” Mickelson said,
pointing out there is already a com-
mitment from some adults.
Weston said Kayla Held, Rolla
School’s FCCLA advisor, was also a
big help in getting information to stu-
dents
Weston added that projects like
this can make a big difference not
only for a community, but for young
people. She said teens who volunteer
can make note of their efforts on job,
scholarship and college applications.
“I know of a young man who had
a perfect GPA in college Who was not
accepted into his preferred medical
school because of his lack of volun— i
teer experience,” Weston said.

ston also spent time researching how

Street initiative or downtown revital-
ization. She found that small im-
provements can yield big results.
“Even if you are on a limited
maintenance budget just painting '
adds a fresh appearance to your busi—
ness. A better image brings in more
costumers and tourism as well as a
positive perception of downtown and
the community,” Weston said. “Po-
tential customers form their first im-
pressions by viewing the buildings
exteriors. A healthy looking and
prosperous Main Street is also more
likely to bring in other businesses
and professions as well.”
Weston added that the inclusion of
young people into the equation could
also pay dividends down the road. “If
youth have a hand in making im-
provements it’s been determined that
they are more likely to return to the
area later on,” she said.
As the first event gets ready to un-
fold, Weston is also applying for a
:«L- seawamm
community betterment grant that
would fund any effort put forward by
school or youth—based projects. ‘
L “I’ve been so impressed with what
the Chamber has been doing with the
Music on Main events and other ac-
tivities and with Rolla being at the
foothills of the Turtle Mountains, I-
just feel like it has much to offer and
would be the perfect recipient for the
funding,” Weston said.
For now, however, all efforts are
focused on June 15. Volunteers are
set to gather at the Farmers Market
Square at 10 am. and the work will
continue until 6 pm. .
Any individual or business look-
ing to volunteer or help fund a proj-
ect for their business can contact
Weston at wsh@utma.com or Mick-
elson at the JDA office at 477-9130
or rollajda@utma.com. Students
wanting to volunteer can also contact
either of them or the Rolla School of-
fice at 477—3 15 1.

Heed the
Instructions
of Your
Parents
Children, ohey your parents in everything, fizr
this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not emhitter
your children, or they will herome diseouraged.
—Colossians 3:20—21 '
has parents who are alive and well enough to give them advice or
correction.
This might seem to be advice fer children, but it really applies to anyone
who still
Parents are naturally, and probably instinctively, motivated to give their
children
helpful instructions, advice and corrections about life'lhey have been
around a lot longer
than their children and so they ought to have some advice worth imparting.
Parents
talking to their children, and the children listening, should start young.
There is solid
research going back decades demonstrating that parents who talk more to
their children
have smarter kids who do better in'school and avoid problems in life.
So, this advice to
heed the instructions of your parents is actually advice to parents to make
sure you start
engaging your children early on, and not just with corrections and
instructions, but by
reading to them and talking with them as much as possible. Parents should
be having an
ongoing dialogue with their children, and should realize that what they
say, and how
they say it matters greatly to the reception of their message. —
