In a variety of ways, I will explain some of he ways a 4-H club in the following information the structure of an indi vidual 4-H club or group may take on one of several forms. These include: Community or project clubs: 4-H cur riculum is taught to youth organized into groups (clubs) tnat function for Several months or throughout the year, j This method is the 1 traditional 1 4-H delivery. School Enrichment: 4-H cur riculum is utilized in the Classroom during regular school hours, the class room teacher or another resource person teaches the subject matter. Short-term special interest: 4-H curriculum gener ally taught over a specified amount of time (e.g., 1 week, 6 weeks, I months). And outside of regular school hours. After-school programs, community school programs special interest group programs, cooperative programs with other agencies and organizations, and school age childcare programs are ex amples of these delivery methods. There are many ways to have a 4-H Club. At this time we are in need of 4-H Club Leaders. If you have a skill you want to pass on to the youth of Warm Springs. Please contact Arlene Boileau or Minnie Tulalakus at the OSU Exten sion Office in the Education Office or call us at 553-3238 . Well, 4-H Culture Enrichment camp is on a roll. The number of campers that have showed for the first week was 58 '' 'Generally speaking, people these days marry later; they have fewer chil dren and reach the empty nest earlier. It isn't unusual for couples to spend 30 to 40 , years together after their last child leaves home. Despite today's high divorce rate, ppe put of. five fjrst marriages lasts 50 . years. Such long-lasting relationships ' are a contemporary phenomenon. Con sider this: At the end of the 19th century, the. average length of marriage when one spouse died was about 28 years. Now it's over 43 years! - j Never before in history have so many coviples been in marriages long enough to experience the variety of life-changing events that later stages of marriage now bring. Most older couples have had no model of how to handle the stresses these late-life changes can bring. How ever, they are more likely than younger couples to view marriage as a lifetime Commitment that carries responsibili ties. , But expectations for marriage have changed. In the past, a married couple expected hard work, many children, and good meals. Today, married couples expect companionship, intimacy, and sharing of feelings. For older people who have lived in a work-ethic, survival-oriented world, these new ex pectations are not always easy to meet. Throughout marriage, couples con tinually adapt to changing roles and expectations. For example, consider all of the changes that occur when a first child is born. Consider how life changes when the last child leaves home. J Change doesn't stop in later life. Common role changes for older people include retirement, a decline in hea lth, the death of friends, and the birth of grandchildren. A common challenge for older couples is to give up previous roles and adapt to new ones. The ease with which that adaptation occurs de ' pends, in part, on how adaptable a per son was during the younger years. In ability to adapt to change may lead to feelings of depression. .

' h2l J HOME SWEET HOME By Bernadette Handley, Family & ""; Community Development Agent , ' ,. brings considerable change to the lives of older couples. This change often coin cides with a time when the couple is faced with physical, changes, income change, and a shrmking social group. Research has shown that increased "togetherness" is more difficult for wives , who did xiot work, outside the, home compared with wives who were in the labor force. Women who nave retired from jobs become more involved with friends and activities after their retire ment. Women who have not worked outside the home become less involved after the husband's retirement. The question that comes to mind is: Why do some wives appear lSSs happy after retirement? One explanation is that they may resent the extra responsibilities of having their husband around the home. They often cite a loss of privacy. Their expectation of a shared workload, around the home often fails to become a reality. By comparison, women who re-, tired from a job do not seem to suffer from too much togetherness. Difficul ties experienced after retirement can be overcome by talking over expectations and working out compromises. Despite the multiple changes in later life, most older couples are happy. Research focusing on the interaction of older married couples has found both : similarities and differences between , older couples and middle-aged couples. Compared to middle-aged couples, older couples express less negative emotion to one another when they are in conflict. , Furthermore, when they are discuss-. ing a topic of strong disagreement, they tend to express more affection and positive feelings for each other than middle-aged couples. In terms of Simi larities, both older and middle-aged wives are more emotionally expressive than their husbands. Whether they are' , : talking or listening, wives show more positive andnegative feeling. Husbands, : ; however, exhibit faf more defensiveness : during conflict than do their wives. The book Lucky in Love by Catherine Johnson reveals secrets of happy couples and how their marriages thrive.

Pink eye (IBK) is an infectious and contagious eye disease of cattle, which causes inflammation of the tissue surrounding the eye arid ul ceration of the surface of the eye.

This review, now pub shed and available to the public, was made possible principally through thtf expertise of staff at Oregon Health Sci ences University (OHSu) and Oregon State University (OSU). The Oregon Pesticide Use Reporting System must collect pesticide use infor mation for all categories of pesticide use, including agriculture and forestry, gov eminent agencies, utilities and indus trial users, commercial application com panies, and firms making applications in urban settings. The reporting system must also gather information on usage of household pesticides. - . Which pesticides must be reported? Who is the responsible reporting party? What data points will be required fdt reporting? What will be the frequency of . .. reporting? The Analytical Review Iden tifies, describes, and evaluates various options for designing the pesticide use ' , reporting system.
