k Mayann Aguilar, SYWHow is the 4-H
program Delivered in Warm Springs? 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

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.

,. 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.

Johnson reveals secrets of happy couples
and how their marriages thrive. It's about

Review of Pesticide Use Reporting
System now available
Early this summer, the Oregon De
partment of Agriculture released the
following announcement, detailing the
, completion of an analytical review of
issues that must be resolved in order to
establish a statewide pesticide use re-
Eorting system. 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. The review also in
rljidM rations for reporting household .
use of pesticides.
