Oklahoma daughter of Georgr and Anna Mae Steagall, visited at their home recently She arrived in Cortland. October 17. and attended the wedding of her brother George Steagall II and Dianne Wenger in Salem October IB Mr and Mrs Steagall and Tommy also attended the wedding from here and were guests of their son It was the first time all of their children had tieen together in three years Mrs Hynd returned to Heppner with her folks for a longer visit and flew home on October 24 They had to detour on their way home because of the rock stub's and crossed the Columbia at Cascade lax-ks Vanderkamp she says, to turn them on to ideas and to keep their interest focused on a topic It's important to keep them tuned in Many tunes in a regular classroom, they will tend to phase out or become bored because they have grasped the lesson while other students are still struggling with it Some teachers resent singling these kids out as special.“ but working to keep these active minds involved gives them less tune to lie bored These students will tend to question for themselves, and generally have a lot of self motivation which, if not directed in a constructive manner is evidenced in their questioning of authority and tendency to find other ways to use their energy Although Vanderkamp does travel with the OMSI programs to arras outside Portland. Morrow County is the least |nipulated district which she visits The county she says, has jiut a lot of effort into the program and IS more organized which is necessary to organize transport.! lion when the kids are spread out over such distances Two other o.MSI energy teachers also travel with programs on wind, fossil fuels, nuclear energy archae ology. and astronomy Because of Bonneville Cower Administration funding the energy presentations travel in a four state region while the other programs are limited to Oregon, but Vanderkamp reminds. OMSI is Oregon's museum, not Portland's, so the rest of the state should take advantage of the pro grams which it offers Marriage Licenses The Morrow County Clerk's Office at the Morrow County Courthouse has accepted a marriage license application from Caddy Jake Howell. 21. and Bohbette Jean Angell. 17. both of Heppner Kevent guests at the home of Bob and Theta I.owe were their daughter Mrs Kobert Scott of Soup laikr.
