rnr FOUR The Heppner Gaiette-Tlmei. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. September 15, 183 Home economics a course of change i Liz Curtis Home economics classes have changed course during the last few years. Students are learning many other skills than just sewing and cooking, and one Heppner home ec teacher has helped achieve this and has made notable contributions to her field. Liz Curtis, a Heppner Junior High home ec teacher, repre sents Morrow and Umatilla county home ec teachers in a statewide leadership cadre. As one of the 16-member team representing geographical areas, cadre members have provided a communications linkage and set up inservice opportunities for the more than 550 junior and senior home ec teachers across the state. The group meets twice a BMCC to offer variety of local classes Fall term schedules of clas ses are now available for courses to be offered at Blue Mountain Community College. The college mailed the sche dules to all local postal pa trons in Umatilla and Morrow counties. The schedule includes class listings for courses to be of fered in Heppner, Hermiston, Milton-Freewater, Athena, Boardman and Umatilla, as well as day and evening clas ses in Pendleton. Local classes in the Heppner area that will be offered in Boardman A group is currently being formed in Boardman for women who experienced sex ual abuse as children and-or adolescents, announced Alison Turner of Morrow Co. Mental Health. The group will offer women the opportunity to dis cuss various aspects of their experience with other women with similar histories who can offer support and understand ing. Discussion topics will in clude past and present rela tionships with family mem bers, feelings about sexuality, relationships with men, and thoughts and feelings about how women want their own families to be. The group will be led by Alison Lockwood Turner, M.S., psychotherapist for Morrow County Mental Health Service, and Sandra Finck from Hermiston Children's Services Division. Both thera pists are experienced and trained to work with victims of sexual abuse. Furthermore, Ms. Turner has been instru mental in establishing Mor row County's sexual abuse treatment program. The lea ders believe that sharing in group will help to break down barriers of isolation, shame and silence, and lead to posi tive changes in participants' lives. Turner stated that studies have shown that one quarter to one third of adult women were sexually abused by the time they were 18. Over three quarters of them were abused by someone they knew and were close to: a father, step father, older brother, uncle, mom's boyfriend, a close family friend, or a female relative. The abuse may have occurred once, several times, or over a period of many years. The abuse usually ended by the time the woman left home (or she may have left to end it), but the emo tional damage lasts for many years, often a lifetime, she said. Most incest victims and vic tims of child sexual abuse experience low self-esteem and negative feelings about themselves. As adults, they often experience troubled re lationships with boyfriends, husbands, and-or children. year to discuss budgets, teachers' training, program direction, curriculum and to share ideas. As a cadre member, Curtis is in charge of training pro grams for home ec teachers in the two-county area. This group is to meet five times this year. In November a workshop is scheduled for the teachers on dealing with stress. For March, a teachers' training session will be con ducted in dealing with teenage pregnancy. In April, Dr. Terry Templeman of the county's mental health service, will give the teachers training in "Families in Crises." which will cover various family situations and how children cope with them. Morrow County seventh graders are required to take a home ec class termed "Occu pational Versatilities." Curtis developed this program which was adopted for use county wide, and she and Joyce Baker of Columbia Junior High in Boardman developed a book for use in the program entitled "O.V. Homemaking." The book consists of a series of lessons in practical reading and math skills, home survi val skills, responsibility for clude Horsemanship and Horse Husbandry, Exercise -one-half time. Aerobic Dance classes. Dance to Fitness classes. Criminal Justice -Survey of. Microcomputer Programming and Welding. The cost of each class, the dates, instructors and costs are all listed in the fall term schedule. Not listed in the schedule is the proposed aerobic dance class in lone if enough interest is shown. The class would be held on Monday mornings and therapy group being formed for abuse victims Problems with sexual rela tionships are frequent. These negative feelings tend to lin ger until the abuse issues have been openly discussed with others and the feelings have been worked through. How ever, women rarely talk about their experiences with other women who have had similar experiences, and they often feel isolated and ashamed," Historical Society plans annual meeting By DELPHA JONES It is again time for the annual meeting of the Morrow County Historical Society to be held at the Lexington Grange Hall on October 2 at 1 p.m., starting with a potluck dinner. The main course will be furnished by the society with others bringing salads and desserts. The program will be provi ded by Antone Minthorn, chairman of the General Council of the Federated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Pendleton. He will show slides of the reser vation, and discuss its prog ress through the years. There will also be a picture display, and Mr. Minthorn will talk on the issues concerning the In dians; their problems and ways to solve them. Also attending will be Ran INSULATE NOW!

In the program the students learn decision making, consumer buying, nutrition, how to figur unit pricing, babysitting skills, keys to good management and how to look their best. Two special features of the program include conducting a nursery school for children ages three through five for one-half of a day, and in the last nine weeks of the school year the students must list what they have learned in the class, what they would like to learn, and then develop a project or several projects to achieve what they would like to learn. Another interesting activity requires that each student care for an egg as a baby would be cared for. Each student is responsible for caring for it at all times and must even find a babysitter when the egg can't be with them. It seems more and more classes are teaching students skills they will use later in life, and home economics classes are providing important les sons for Morrow County students. Wednesday evenings.
