Conflict can be difficult unless both parties work constructively
by Norma Simpson hill, Ifyou really cared you'd, You shouldn't ( ) with you, but could we agr
During the past couple of months we've
; been teaming many of the things that help to
deal with conflict. The Family and
Community Leadership (FCL) guide training
manual contains lots of valuable tools to help
us cope with Conflict We want to avoid
having some people be losers and others be
winners. Instead we want to have the "Win
Win" mentality, where everyone is satisfied
with solutions to conflicts in our daily life.
Here is a list of the Things That Increase
Conflict.
Give advice, diagnose the problem: You
should have, The problem seems to be, The
best solution...
Persuade with logic, defend: Did you
realize that, You've mistaken, You haven't
considered, It stands to reason that, Look at
it this way...
Ridicule, shame, moralize: You've being
inconsiderate of others, If you had stopped to
think, You're making a mountain outot mole
hill, If you really cared you'd, You shouldn't
think that way, You only want to look good,
you are being a bit paranoid...
Judge, blame criticize: That doesn't make
sense, You are out of line, That was the
wrong thing to say, You are being hard
headed, You're the one who...
Warn, threaten: If you don't ( )
will happen, It would be best for you if, You
don't have the authority to, That is not how it
is done around here, You must, I expect you
to, You have problems with authority....
Question, interrogate, interpret: Why did
you, What made you think that you could,
What have you done to try to solve it, You
feel that way because, You have problems
with authority.
And here is a list of Things that Decrease
Conflict.
Schedule "conflict" discussion ata special
time so they can be private and allow plenty
of time to handle feelings and bring some
resolution or closure (I want to discuss
) with you, but could we agree
upon a time.).
Encourage each other to express the
positive feelings for each other, what is
appreciated about the relationship (I really
admire your patience, You bring a different
perspective to this issue which I don' t have..).
Encourage each other to fully express
negative feelings about the issue without
placing blame.
Paraphrase what you thought the other
person said, check out assumptionscarefully.
Accept honest feedback thoughtfully.
Deal with behaviors, issues, not
personalities.
Take responsibility for your role in the
conflict
Strive for a winwin solution.
Note: Conflict is difficult, but with both
parties working constructively it can be
creative. The results can be a more rewarding
and fulfilling relationship.
"Buttered" popcorn could lead to health problems
un April Z5, tne center tor science in tne body are the saturated fats. You can see from which is the worst culprit of them all. It
Public Interest released a strong report against
the high fat content served by movie theaters.
About 70 percent of the theaters nationwide
use coconut oil with 43 grams of cholesterol
raising fat and 901 calories in each medium
sized buck of popcorn. That is more than
twice the daily limit of recommended
saturated fat
According to an article in the Oregonian
April 26, eve a five-cup bag of kid-size
popcorn contains 14 grams of saturated fat
That is about three-fourths of the
recommended daily fat limit
In one of the classes I conducted recently,
the women said they did not understand what
a calorie is. They joked abut "I never at a
calorie in my life."
The truth is that the word "calorie" is a
measurement of heat that is produced by the
food that we burn in our body. Foods with
lots of fats produce lots of heat as they are
burned up in our bodies as foods are digested.
You'll remember when you are hungry,
sometimes you feel cool. Then, when you
tank up, you feel warm all over. It wasn't just
the warm food inside you, but it was the
chemical changes in your body as the food
was digested.
The fats that d the most damage in the
this graph the different types of fat have
different amounts of saturated fats. Animal
fats have more saturated fats than vegetable
oils, with the exception of the coconut oil,
makes the popcorn taste good, but you pay
the price twice...at the cash register and in
your poor health from heart attacks, obesity,
diabetes and strokes.

Cause of wandering in A.D. patients unknown
Louise was beside herself. It was nearly
midnight and Charles, her 77-year-old
widowed father was still missing; having
wandered out the backyard gate earlier in
the evening during a family barbecue. Louise,
her husband and her two teenage boys had
searched the entire neighborhoodf or several
hours. Their oldest son had even driven
several miles to see if his grandfather had
wandered to his Aunt Patsy's house. Later,
at 3:30 a.m. the phone rang. The caller
identified himself as a member of the State
Patrol and informed Louise that he hadfound
Charles walking beside the interstate freeway
almost six miles from home. When asked by
the patrolman where he was going, Charles
had replied, "I'm going home to see my
wife." Fortunately, Louise had placed her
name and phone number in Charles' wallet,
and this information aided the State
Patrolman in locating her.
Cases like the one described in the
italicized section, are not uncommon among
families caring for a loved one suffering
from Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Researchers
estimate that at least 70 percent of AD patients
wander.andasaresultare at risk of becoming
lost. Some AD patients have reportedly driven
hundreds and even thousands of miles from
their home of origin. Others become
disoriented while travelling out-of-town, as
well as trying to find their way around the
local mall. Many AD patients are not able to
ask for assistance when they become lost.
Wandering behavior can be extremely
frightening to loved ones who feel responsible
for the well-being of the AD patient.
Families caring for a loved one with
Alzheimer's Disease often ask: "What causes
a person with AD to wander:" "It is possible
to predict when wandering will occur?"
"What can we do to keep our loved one safe
and secure?"
Clinicians and researchers do not know
the exact cause of wandering in AD patients,
but speculate that restlessness might be due
in part to lack of exercise, boredom, a change
in the physical environment, stressful living
conditions or fear produced by delusion or
hallucinations. Wandering behavior may be
a product of trying to search for something
familiar or reassuring.
Researchers claim that it is nearly
impossible to predict when a person afflicted
with AD will wander away from safe
surroundings. However, it is important for
caregivers to recognize that wandering is a
common symptom of dementia and can be
potentially dangerous to victims of
Alzheimer's Disease.

Hang on to your money; avoid pyramid clubs
Stockman's Roundup: Preventing colic in horses
by Norma L. Simpson
Besides being illegal, pyramid clubs make
"money for a few at the expense of many."
That's what it said in a recent press release
from the Oregon Attorney General office.
A pyramid club called "Friends Network"
was shutdown recently in Deschutes County.
It's one of the schemes that promises you big
money by soliciting a membership "gift" of
$1,500. In return it falsely promises that
members will receive $12,000 when they
rise to the top of the pyramid. The temporary

Livestock and Range
Horses let you know that something is
wrong when they show signs of pain by
sweating, pawing, being restless, rolling or
biting and kicking at the belly. This abdominal
pain is called colic.
Colic is a leading cause of death and
illness in horses. What happens when a horse
colics is a change in the animal's belly, such
as a buildup of gas, twisting of the intestine,
or obstruction of the passage of food material
(impaction). Most episodes of colic require
only medical treatment It can, however, be
serious enough to require surgery. Some cases
are fatal.
Until recently, scientists have known little
about what actually causes colic. Modem
technology has helped us get a better idea of
what factors lead to colicky horses.
Risk Factors
Occupation
Breeding horses, namely broodmares, are
nearly twice as likely to colic compared to
horses occupations such as pleasure horses.
Breed
Arabian horses have a significantly higher
risk of colic. They are 2 12 times more likely
to be colic cases compared to Thoroughbred
horses. ( I personally owned a half Arab mare
who went through a barrel of sweet feed with
no ill effects, however.)
Management
Horses that receive care on a day-to-day
basis from their owners are less likely to
colic.
Recent pasture access
A horse's accessibility to a number of
pastures was found to be associated with
colic. Horses that had access to two or three
different pastures during the previous month
had a significantly lower colic risk compared
to horses that did not have any pasture access.
The results suggest that moving horses
between pastures at intervals of 10 to 14 days
could lower colic risk.
Outside water access
Horses pastured outside without access to
water, even if outside for only one or tow
hours, are more likely to be colic cases,
horses older than six years of age appear to be
more susceptible to the effects of short-term
water deprivation. These horses are 10 times
more likely to get colic if kept outside without
access to water.
Concentrated feeds
Colic risk is elevated in horses that
consume greater amounts of whole grain
corn. Colic risk is increased 70 for each
one pound increase in whole grain com.
Worming
Horses wormed on a regular basis had
significantly reduced incidence of colic. This
finding may support the idea that
gastrointestinal parasites are a major cause
of colic in horses.
Medical history
A previous history of colic increases the
likelihood of colic reoccuring, being four
times more likely to have another episode.
Horses with a prior history of colic and a
recent (within the last four weeks) health
problem are at even greater risk of colic.
There is much more to leam regarding the
development of colic before one can
implement this information into specific care
and management practices. The most
important thing a horse owner can do is think
of caring the animal in terms of preventing
problems instead of treating them.
Safety Training course offered
Attention farmers, ranchers and minors
under 18, a new Oregon Wage and Hour
Rules (effect March 12, 1990) may cause an
additional liability to farmers and ranchers

are certified as passing a tractor safety training
program program (there are some exceptions).
To assist farmers, ranchers and minors
affected by these new rules, the Extension
Service is taking reservations for it's Central
Oregon Farm and Tractor Safety Training
and Certification Course. The course will be

Pyramids are illegal in Oregon and many
other states because they collapse easily,
causing most participant to lose their initial
fee before it is their turn to collect the large
sums that they are promised in deceptive
literature. According to the literature, spread
by members trying to recruit new participants
in theclub furtherstates that income received
will be subject to state and federal taxes and
that there is not risk involved in participating
in the club. Both these representations are
false.
Rockin ' 4-H Livestock
club in the cattle
business
Thanks to the generous donation of two
yearling heifers by Evans Spino, the Rockin
4-H Livestock Club is back in the cattle
business. Preparations have been in the
making for several months, with much more
to do.
"The fences on the 4-H Range still have to
be tightened up," says bob Pawelek, OSU
Extension Agent, who is overseeing the
project. "We're working hard to get the word
out that kids can leam a lot from managing
livestock," say Pawelek, "It's tough work
sometimes, but very rewarding to both the
kids and the parents."
Three bred Hereford heifers were also
brought in from the Don Anderson Ranch in
Arlington. A grant from Heifer Project
International may help bring in more cattle
soon. However, donations from the public
are welcome. Contact the OSU Extension
office at Warm Springs, 553-3228 for more
information.
Bring pressure canner lids for testing
If you are lucky, you have been canning
some salmon and steel heads. If so be sure
that your pressure cooker is working properly.
Every year the dial pressure gauges should
be tested, so that you don't risk the health of
your family nor waste the precious fish to
food spoilage. Any low-acid foods should be
preserved in a pressure cooker. Fish, meat
poultry, low-acid vegetables and m ixed foods
like chili or soups. We no longer recommend
canning chili with meat because the chili con
came is too thick to safely preserve.
Ifyou call ahead to the OSUWarm Springs
Extension office (553-3238), we can set a
time to test the gauge while you are there.
Otherwise you can bring the lid and it will be
tested by Friday afternoon of that week.
It takes about 20 minutes to test the lid
starting from the time the tester is filled and
the water reaches the temperature we need to
test the dial.
