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

learning, management and
safety skills and career
awareness. 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. If inte
rested, contact Joyce Hughes
or Cathy Halvorsen.
Registration for full-time
students will take place Sep
tember 20-22. with September
23 set as the late registration
day. Full-time students should
call the Counseling Center at
276-1260 to make a registration
appointment with an advisor.
Day and evening classes
begin the week of September
26. Persons planning to regis
ter for shorter seminars or
workshops should check the
schedule for starting dates.
Turner explained.
Format for the group will
include an initial day-long
Saturday meeting and three
two-hour weekday evening
meetings. A three-month fol
lowup session will also be
he!d. Turner said. The group
will meet in Boardman be
ginning in October. If inte
rested in participating, please
dy Minthorn, who will bring
some dancers and drummers.
He will explain the dances and
what they mean. There is to be
a short discussion about their
foods and how they were
prepared in earlier times be
fore supermarkets.
This promises to be a most
interesting afternoon and the
society invites all to attend
this meeting.
Memberships will be avail
able, and the new "Chroni
cles" are to be for sale at this
time.
The Indian culture is history
making and, as many others,
should be preserved for gene
rations to come. Our area is
really a new area, so lets not
lose sight of the past, like in
many other cases. Preserva
tion of early day living is part '
of what the society is all
about.

Question: "How do you feel
about the U.S. response over
the Soviet downing of the
South Korean 747 jet?"
"I think it was a really good
response." said Julie Warren
of Heppner, "I believe people
are rightfully upset with the
Soviets for what they've done,
I don't trust the Soviets and
it's scary that they think they
can get away with it."
