Spilyay Tymoo Warm Springs, Oregon September 30, 1994 PAGE 7 Plan early for your retirement by Norma L. Simpson Have you ever thought about how you will survive when you are no longer working? Some people talk about "Retirement" with fear in their voices because they are not able to make ends meet now. What will happen when you are retired? Everyone says that your Social Security check, even with monthly allotment, will not be enough for you to live on. And older people who may want to work part-time after retiring are having a hard time finding work. Others say they will have to live with their children when their homes are already too crowded. But there are other choices. The American Association of Retired Persons and the Oregon State University Extension Service have joined forces to provide special training for people who are retired or are planning to retire in f uture. This scries of seven programs MONEY AFTER 50 is for people who have limited resources. John Beal, Jefferson County home economics agent, will join us in Warm Springs for the series on Wednesday Evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in the main floor training room Education Center 1 1 10 Wasco Street. He will bring other Jefferson county participants to the seven meetings. Oct 12, 19, 26 and Nov. 2,9,16 and Nov. 30. People don't plan to fail when they retire, but failure to plan is what leads to failureand an uncomfortable future To register for the series or if you have questions about MONEY AFTER 50, contact Norma Simpson (553-3238) in the Warm Spring Extension office or John Beal (475-3808) at the Jefferson County Extension Office. Changes in children require changes in parents Parents often think that it's hard to keep up with the children. Before you know it, the baby is off to Middle School, and then suddenly the teenager is about to graduate from High School. Oregon State University Extension Child Development Specialist Sue Doescher heard our plea for more information about the changes that take place for the older school kids. One OSU Extension fact sheet "Comparative Aspects of Middle Childhood and Adolescence" SP 57-08 1 looks at three aspects of growing up - Physical-Motor Development, Social-Emotional Development and Intellectual Development. If you have Pre-teen or Teenagers, you may want to ask for a copy of the fact sheet to help yourself to cope with the changes in your child. Remember, just as the child is maturing and learning to be a different person than he or she was as a child, parents are also changing and maturing. But we often forget that was going on from age 10 to 18. In this article we'll share some of the Social-Emotional aspects.

Simpson During the recent training session for New Mutual Aid Homeowners, I had the men and women list the items that they felt would be problems to store in their new homes. There was practically universal agreement that families have lots of extra bedding, small and large tools, toys, shoes, camping equipment, traditional clothes and video tapes. So the Extension Office is in the process of collecting practical ideas for storing these items. I ordered two types of video tape storage ideas to be attached to doors. Perhaps by the time the article appears in the Spilyay Tymoo, we will have more items in the my office to attract attention, ie items to go along with the inexpensive curtains. I have a number of ideas for storing hair dryers, curling irons, and curlers. But I am stumped by how to store hair-pieces. IF YOU HAVE WORKED OUT SOME GREAT STORAGE IDEAS FOR YOUR Conversion table helps with using egg substitute Lots of people in Warm Springs prepare quantities of food for special events. If you have recipes that were developed for dried whole egg products, but you want to use fresh eggs or the other way around, you can convert the amounts using this table. The table comes from the 1993 HANDBOOK OF FOOD PREPARATION published by the American Home Economics Assoc idtion Another popular book, FOOD FOR FIFTY sixth edition, has some excellent suggestions for storage of unused portions of dried whole eggs. "After opening, refrigerate any unused portions in container with a close-fitting lid. Reconstitute only the amount needed at one time. Reconstitute by blending with water or combine with other dry ingredients in recipe and add amount of water needed to reconstitute. Use reconstituted eggs immediately, or refrigerate promptly in an airtight containers and use within 1 hour. Store unopened packages in cool, dry place where temperatures are no more than S0F, preferably in refrigerator.

For the Mutual Aid class, the New Homeowners received a list of 73 things that they will need to store. If you list items to be stored at the same time you plan your next move, perhaps you can eliminate the unnecessary items and reduce the clutter in your home. As I was writing articles for this issue, one lady told me someone had thrown away in the dump dozens of canning jars that were in perfect condition. Shenow wants to buy a pressure canner to go along with the jars. Someone is going to benefit from a new Mummy type sleeping bag. I saw the dirty sleeping bag sticking out of a garbage can. But since my father branded me as a natural "alley rat" I have retrieved thousands of things from piles discarded by others. This sleeping bag was given a thorough washing and a tiny iron-on patch to keep stuffing in, and the bag is again ready for the next hunting trip. Every October a lady I know has her Ave children go through the good toys that no longer interested them - "that stuffs for younger kids" they would say, as they outgrew last years fads. Off they went to be recycled toother families through St. Vincent De Paul or Salvation Army. That leaves lots of room for the new toys arriving on Dec. 25. It seems that we could share our wealth with others even if it's not in the form of Pendleton blankets. Let's give good, clean things to Madras Thrift Shop and the volunteers will sell the items to recycle the throw-aways. The Thrift Shop turns the profits into equipment at the Mountain View Hospital which benefits all of us using the hospital, and the volunteers make money for scholarships for needy students. 0K3f5TATl IMVUTVn EXTENSION SERVICE Information provided by; OSU Extension at Warm Springs 1110 Wasco Street 553-3238.

Take care and have a great school year. Spring to bring new seeds The 1994 gardening season is almost over and soon winter will be upon us. When the cold weather keeps you inside going through seed catalogs for next summer's garden keep an eye out for these new varieties that have been announced by the National Garden Bureau. Cantaloupe hybrid 'Fast Break' sounds like a winner for home gardeners everywhere. It matures very early (65 days) and is very sweet. 'Fast Break' has large size fruits for its class and excellent yields. (Petoseed Co. Inc.) Sweet Corn 'Kandy Kwik EH' is a vigorous 67-day hybrid yellow sweet corn. The 7.5 inch ears are filled to the tip with 14 to 16rowsof sweet, tender kernels compared to Seneca's Horizon. It is widely adapted, and has excellent early vigor and emergence, making it well suited to early planting. (Rogers Seed Co.) Cucumber 'Big Burpless' is a giant hybrid cucumber with superior flavor. The large fruits retain quality even when jumbo size. They are crunchy, sweet, bitter-free, burp-free and very dark green. They are superior to regular burpless cucumbers in every respect and are resistant to powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus and scab. 'Big Burpless' mature in about 55 days after plants are established in the garden. (W. Atlee Burpee Co.) Eggplant 'Park's Whopper Hybrid" is the highest yielding eggplant in it's class, 5080 greater than open pollinated varieties. It is a 'Black Beauty' type with a little mare teardrop shape to it and a dark shiny purple color to it that is almost black. The fruits are mild flavored and delicious. 'Park's Whopper Hybrid matures in about 62 days and will grow to about 30 inches tall. (Geo. W. Parks Seed Co.) Although summers are quite hot here in the High Desert our growing season is usually very short. Keep this in mind when selecting vegetable varieties for home gardening. The shorter the number of days to maturity the more likely the variety will produce a successful harvest for you. Be sure to test your pressure canner by Norma L. Simpson This week I tested an old pressure canner gauge to be sure it would be safe to use after the big hunt. It is a good thing that the lady brought it to be tested, because the low-acidfoods canned in her canner would not be safe to eat. The gauge was off 4 degrees. The gauge is the way that we know that the pressure inside the canner is enough to kill the bacteria inside the jars. The only way inat the temperature of the food reaches 240F. is to be sure the pressure inside the canner reaches that level. Master Food Preservers recommend new gauges if the dial is off by more than one degree. When I called the Masterson-SLClaire Hardware in Bend, they told be that they had two types of screw-in type gauges. Take the lid with you so that you will get the correct size and thread for the pressure canner that you have. If you know that your gauge is not working properly - like the children have been playing with the arrow because the glass cover is broken - be sure to replace the gauge. The gauge sells for about $17 SAFETY OF HOME CANNED FOODS IS VERY IMPORTANT YOUR 1 JOB Bring your pressure canner lid to the OSU Extension Office and we will test it for free. Store chemicals safely, securely by Norma L. Simpson Take a look at this cabinet with bleach, slug bait, anti-freeze, paint, etc.. Do you use any of these products in your home? If you do, avoid wearing soft contact lenses when working with these and other hazardous products in the home. The soft contact lenses absorb vapors and trap them against the eyes. That is why the eyes seem irritated when these products are used in an enclosed home or office. Put Mr YUK stickers on hazardous household products and teach children to leave them alone. These stickers are available at any Payless Drug Store pharmacy counter in uregon, according io inn HAZARDLESS HOME HANDBOOK, which I received from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The book suggests that you put the telephone number of the Oregon Poison Center by your telephone. Outside of Portland The toll-free number is 1-800-452-7165. I3iCt Affei i i. MM imnmi .
