Instead of sleeping, “chilling” or biking as they usually would on a gorgeous summer morning, about 20 teenagers helped out Saturday at houses where Horizons Specialized Services clients live. The youths were part of a volunteer team from Concordia Lutheran Church. Four remained at a house in the Riverside neighborhood at about noon. They already had painted a garage door, trimmed a tree and done other odd jobs. The group was painting a deck before heading out for a birthday party. “It’s like a community, and we really gotta help each other, and most of this stuff doesn’t happen unless we make it happen,” said Nikki Van de Velde, 14. She painted alongside her twin brother, John, and their friends Cheyenne Chadwick and Hanson Buchner. Cheyenne and Hanson came partly because they’d slept over at the Van de Velde house Friday night. Hanson said it was important to help others in the community. Lending a hand makes things easier, he said, because “disabled people who can’t do this work wouldn’t be able to get it done without having to pay somebody, especially in this economy.” See Horizons, back page
