'It's a lovely experience'
This year's camp at Cutsforth
Park took on an international
flavor with the addition of camp
counselor Jenni Haworth of
Kimbottom, New Zealand.
Jenni is spending about seven
months on tour in conjunction
with the International Farm-4-H
Youth Exchange program.
She is now staying with the Ivan
Hunter family of Fossil and on
July 27 she will be leaving
Oregon for two and a half
months in South Dakota.
From there, it's on to Wash
ington D.C., for a conference
with other IFYE'ers who have
traveled around the country this
summer. ., .
Jenni plans to squeeze in a
trip to Canada before traveling -
to England in October where
she will stay until she returns to
Kimbottom next January.
This is her first trip to North
America from her New Zealand
home where she is an elemen
tary school teacher. Her mother
is also a teacher, her father is a
bank manager and a younger
brother attends a New Zealand
university. Her grandparents
are the farmers in the family
and to them Jenni credits her
involvement in the future farm
ers organization which brought
her into the exchange program.
Prior to her stay in Fossil,
Jenni had spent a month in
California and also some time in
both Corvallis and Eugene. She
said Eastern Oregon reminded
'her a lot of New Zealand
although the farming is more
intensive there and sheep farm
ing is much more prevalent.
Highlights of the 4-H camp for
Jenni included the closing
bonfire and "crawdad" cer
emonies alone with the dream
boat pageant on Cutsforth pond.
Also, it was her first opportun
ity to sleep in a tent and she was
introduced to other new exper
iences such as driftwood craft
making and that ingenious
game of ours known as box
hockey.
Returning the compliment of
sharing new experiences, Jenni
introduced the campers to the
customs and costumes of the
Maori's, natives of New Zea
land. She taught the youngsters j'
a Maori dance and showed them
slides of her homeland.
Her busy schedule keeps her
on the move but while staying
with each host family she says
she tries to get into the family
atmosphere as much as pos--sible
helping with the animals
on the farm and attending
events with the family such as
the Fourth of July celebration in
Condon.
"It's a lovely experience. I've
met so many interesting people
so far and everyone has been so
kind", she said.
It goes both ways as wach of
the 4-H campers left the camp
with good thoughts and best
wishes for "international Jen-
ni".
Perfect weather, fun. ..time to
just relax and play games or
learn crafts, fish, hike, archery,
plus special things like puppet
shows and singing by campfire
light, all teamed together to
make the annual 4-H Camp a
happy time for eighty-one
campers from Morrow, Gil
liam, Wheeler and Sherman
counties last week.
Mornings were devoted to
classes which all campers
attended, with instructors Ter-
ry Lilybridge of Morrow Soil
Conservation Service, Milt Bor
ing, Gun Safety expert of Fossil,
Dorothy Zimmerman, Condon;
Joanne Kock, Sherman Exten
sion Service.state Forestry Ser
vice personnel; and Todd Har
rison and Kathy Wolff, Morrow
County older 4-H members.
Afternoons were devoted to
crafts, with instruction from
Birdine Tullis, Francine Evans,
and Mike Howell. All counselors
assisted with classes and a
number served as teachers for
various crafts. Most campers
had a hand crafted souvenir to
take home as a momento of the
camp.
Creative names and decora
tions appeared almost immed
iately to welcome campers to
the tent city, with all tent names
and signs relating to the theme
chosen by the counselors. A
special event included in the
camp program this year was a
final closing ceremony just
before lunch, for the enjoyment
of parents who arrived to share
a time with their campers. Eric
Thompson, Heppner was named
super camper, and each tent
selected a camper to be named
"crawdad", a traditional honor
of the camp program in Morrow
County. Also included in closing
ceremonies was a presentation
of a gift to Mike Howell, in
appreciation of his work with
the 4-H pregram. By special
request, a puppet show was
repeated for the enjoyment of
both campers and their parents.
Counselors were: Pam, Cantin,
Kathy Wolff, Janet McElligott,
Bobbie Devine, Scott Pattee,
Matt Wiemer, Coleman Devine,
Dianne Alley, Barb Cooney,
Robin Hunt, Debbie Justensen,
Tami Morris, Donna Palmer,
Donna Sharp, Paul Bird, Todd
Harrison, Bill Kock, Debra
Palmer, Lisa Kock, and Donald
Richards.
Staff for the camp were Mike
Howell, Birdine Tullis, Joanne
Kock and Martin Zimmerman.
A special guest of the camp was
Jenni Haworth, New Zealand
IFYE, who is visiting Wheeler
County.
The 4-H camp program is a
highlight of the year for both
campers and counselors. The
program offers the counselors
the opportunity to share the
many skills they have learned
through the 4-H program with
the younger members, as well
as develop leadership. The 4-H
counselor is idolized and imitat
ed by the younger campers, and
it offers a challenge to the
counselor to live up to the
image. The traditions passed
from counselors to campers are
often those repeated from year
to year.
Cutsforth speedways is now a
memory for both campers,
counselors, and staff. We hope it
is a good memory!

Jone 28, at secretary Ruth

uses. Molly Saul, an expert on

the opportunity to gain exper
ience as well as getting their
horses tuned up and ready for
competition.
No need to call ahead, just
bring your horse and join the

Another grave-marking day
is contemplated soon. The
matter of public showings of the
old movies taken by Bert
Sigsbee was discussed and
tabled for further consideration
and or possible inclusion in the
program of the first-Sunday in
October annual meeting.
It was decided to hold this
year's annual meeting in Hep
pner, probably at the County
Fairgrounds. Louise Keene and
Justine Weatherford will work
at arranging the program. The
dinner committee for that day
includes: Delpha Jones, Ruth
McCabe, Kathleen Hisler and
Barbara Bloodsworth.
It was determined that the
society will have a booth at the
fair. Pres. Delpha Jones will
appoint a committee to work on
this project.
A report was given about the
cataloging and displaying of
historical articles at the Mor
row County Courthouse.
Mrs. Jones said she expects
the several special committees
to meet and work at their
projects before the fair and
before the next society meeting
in October.
