Graham helps lead national 4-H event
Madison Graham
Madison Graham, a senior at
Hood River Valley High School, is
one of eight youth in the nation
to be selected for the 2015 Nation-
al 4-H Congress Design Team.
Graham and fellow senior Pay-
ton Rigert, as two year State 4-H
Ambassadors of Oregon, attend-
ed the National 4-H Congress in
Atlanta, Ga., in November, along
with a delegation from each state.
They were chosen last spring
through an extensive application
and interview process.
After attending, youth have
one opportunity to apply for the
National 4-H Congress Design
Team by submitting a lengthy ap-
plication to the State 4-H Office.
Each state is allowed to nominate
three applicants to be selected at
the national level.
Graham will join the seven
other youth in leading the 2015
National 4-H Congress in Novem-
ber of 2015.
This is a diverse team com-
posed of eight youth from across
the United States who will spend
the year designing, planning and
organizing the next National 4-H
Congress.
Graham will fly to the National
4-H Congress Headquarters in At-
lanta at the end of February to
meet the Design Team and begin
planning the future National 4-H
Congress. The rest of the year
will consist of regular teleconfer-
ence meetings in order to plan an
impacting leadership experience
for youth across the nation.
Susan Stewart of Georgia is
the Executive Director of the Na-
tional 4-H Congress, and Doug
Hart of Oregon State University
will be the Program Chair for
this year’s National 4-H Con-
g r e s s, a l o n g w i t h C o - C h a i r
Rachel Lyons of Rutgers Univer-
sity.
Also on the 2015 Design Team
are students from Wisconsin, In-
diana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Mis-
sissippi, New Jersey and Penn-
sylvania.

GREG WALDEN, right, speaks, as State Rep. Mark Johnson listens
during the meeting at NDI.
Walden listens to
immigration pleas
in Next Door visit
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden lis-
tened to several Hood River
residents as they told about
how they came to the U.S.,
how current immigration
laws affect them, and what
they would like him to do to
help improve their lives and
strengthen our community.
Walden (R-Hood River) met
with several Latino business
owners, a high school stu-
dent, and representatives
from Gorge Ecumenical Min-
istries, Nuestra Comunidad
Sana (a program of The Next
Door), and Radio Tierra.
Hood River County Sheriff
Matt English, State Rep.
Mark Johnson and other
community leaders also at-
tended.
Humberto Calderon spoke
about his early years living in
Hood River and working in
the orchards. He is now
owner of El Patrillo, a cloth-
ing business in Hood River,
and pays $40,000 in taxes each
year. He expressed his discon-
tent with current immigra-
tion policies, referring to re-
cent years when fruit fell to
the ground because workers
were not available to harvest.
A student from Hood River
Valley High School shared
her story of being brought to
the U.S. when she was six
months old. As she talked
about her prospects for edu-
cation after high school, she
started to cry and had diffi-
culty continuing. She also
commented on the recent de-
feat of Measure 88, which
would have provided Oregon
residents a driver card with-
out proving citizenship.
Maria and Enrique Ortega,
owners of Gorge Taxi and
Lake Taco, expressed their
concern over deportations
that break up families.
The Ortegas offer free taxi
rides home for bar patrons in
downtown Hood River. Sher-
iff English states this service
has resulted in a drastic re-
duction in DUII arrests.
Community leaders asked
Rep. Walden to use his lead-
ership role to ensure that an
immigration refor m bill
passes congress this year —
a law that addresses the con-
cerns he heard at the meet-
ing and provides a meaning-
ful path to citizenship for
our neighbors.
Walden acknowledged im-
migration reform was need-
ed but didn’t offer any spe-
cific ideas or plans that
would ease the speakers’
concerns. He did state that
he believes that DACA, the
executive order signed by
President Obama last year,
was unconstitutional.
While discussing the need
for more agricultural work-
ers in the area, Walden ac-
knowledged that “immi-
grants in our community do
specialty work, and con-
tribute more to our economy
than they detract.” He also
agreed that all immigrant
workers, including the un-
documented, pay taxes and
benefit the economy.
