Engagements
Mustangs look to improve
Tree planted at park
By Bob Krein
The 1990 Mustangs, with seven
returning starters, hope to improve
their 16 and seven record of a year
ago. The Mustangs should have a
strong supporting cast with 11
juniors and seniors turning out this
year.
The Mustangs hope to swing the
bats well this year as they are retur
ning many experienced ball players
from the year before. Last year the
Mustangs were lead by junior Doug
Devin who hit .292. If the rest of the
Mustangs contribute, the diamond
men should have a very successful
year.
The Mustangs defense should be
rock solid as they are returning five
infield starters and two outfield
starters. The Mustangs are returning
three pitchers. 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.
This years roster includes:
Seniors: Russell Britt, Slater Mit
chell, Tom Kenny, Eric Connor and
Casey Pedro.
Juniors: Rick Osmin, Doug
Devin, Brandon Pedro, Bob Krein,
Corey Grabeel and Jacob Maben.
Sophomores: Jim Kindle and
Jason Britt and freshman Scott Coe.

"Birds of the Bible" was the sub,
ject presented to the lone Garden
Club at their March 14 meeting by
Phyllis Anderson at the home of
Leila Palmer. Some 50 kinds of
birds are named in the Bible with
110 references. Almost every kind
of bird that inhabits north Africa,
southern Europe and western Asia
has been seen in Palestine (Israel).
In the Bible birds are used in com
parisons, similes and metaphors
because their life cycle is similar to
that of a human. The story of the
eagle was especially interesting. In
Psalms, David says, “ who satisfies
your desires with good things, so
that your youth is renewed like the
eagles.” “ This fact of life of the
eagle is given as a promise,” accor
ding to a club spokesperson. “ The
eagle lives to a very great age. As
he grows old, his beak becomes so

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.
