Last year the Mustangs were lead by senior Russell Britt with an eight and four record followed by senior Eric Con- nor with a two and 0 record, and sophomore Jim Kindle with a 0 and one record. “ We got a late start due to basket ball, and we look pretty rusty. The talent seems to be there, though, and as we get more practice in, we should come around,” said coach Dowdy. Dowdy also added. " I see us as being competitive again. I cer tainly would like to see us get into district this year. Finishing third three years in a row is tough to tak e.” The Mustangs finished behind Pilot Rock and Riverside last year and both teams should be tough.

Offer good thru April 7th Money can be a touchy subject among relatives in the best of times, but it can be especially troublesome when an elderly relative needs help managing finances. “ Helping Your Older Family Member Handle Finances,” a new publication from the Extension Ser vice, describes the kinds of assistance as well as some of the pro blems that can arise between relatives in this situation. “ When a relative needs help managing finances, the goal is to choose the least intrusive action while enabling your family member to remain as independent as possi ble,” said Vicky Schmall, Oregon State U niversity Extension gerontologist. To avoid tension and misunder standing when providing help, the authors suggest planning before potential incapacity, remembering the relative's capabilities, giving the relative as much control as possible, involving the person in decisions, maintaining the person's financial privacy, keeping complete records, reconciling bank statements monthly and keeping separate accounts. Schmall also describes various financial managem ent options avialable. including joint bank ac counts. power of attorney, living trusts and conservatorship. Single copies of “ Helping Your Older Family Member Handle Finances. “ PNW 344" are available from Carol Bennett, Morrow Coun ty Extension office for the cost of 50 cents.
